Forward_Bee posted:If you don't have the time or opportunity to grab a Hung Jury from the Nightfalls this season I was working under the impression that Hung Jury will still be on the Nightfall rotation next season, which was the entire basis of my "Don't Bother Doing Nightfalls Until Wendigo Week" strategy. I have two older adept Hung Juries that I really like already, and while I wouldn't say no to an origin perk... I would otherwise just be going for the same rolls I already have? (subsistence/explosive payload and rapid hit/box breathing)

Forward_Bee posted:You'll be able to focus adept NF weapons that match the currently available weapon on a given week, and I think Hung Jury will be in the pool for S20. It's expensive tho, so I don't anticipate being able to craft more than 1/week unless you really grind out (since a platinum clear GM gives 2 ciphers, and you need 10 per focus). Are GMs not going to drop weapons on completion anymore?

Okay if you put together every separate instance of fighting against Hive Guardians, it would be what, thirty? Like I know I've killed several hundred hive void titan guys in Grandmaster Lightblade but that doesn't count.

If I'm gonna skip a champ mod it's almost always gonna be unstop. It's not because I have the delusional idea that I will down a champion without stunning it (I know that I would die of old age first), it's because unstoppable champions can be kited back towards my fireteam where we can deal with it properly. Barriers and overloads seem to understand when they get wedged in a stupid corner and can outheal the damage of one guardian. They thrive in those spots like black mold.

We already have a lot of hot, androgynous schemers in the world and so I'm glad all the promotional material is about Nimbus being "hotheaded" and "inexperienced" because that means they get to be in the hallowed ranks of hot dumb thembo.

It's more that, by default the writers treat risen as same-as-their-previous-self*, and then occasionally choose to explore the tabula rasa stuff with specific characters. edit: to be more accurate, by default it doesn't come up

Pirate Jet posted:The clip of someone asking John Carpenter “what the hell happened with Escape From LA” except it’s me asking Joe Blackburn “Witch Queen was great what the hell happened with Lightfall” Witch Queen was great but the people who made it thought it was a detective story, so there’s already a clear disconnect between directorial intent and the product.

Nimbus's queer identity isn't explored, and has nothing to do with the plot or the narrative. I'm only about 70% through the campaign but I'm not really expecting Nimbus to have a wistful conversation about what it means to be one of the only two people with a body in a city of digital before this is all up. What does gender mean to the average citizen of Neomuna? Does the freedom of sky-surfing represent transcending societal norms, or is it just cop poo poo? Lightfall definitely seems like a directorial blunder, not exactly a writing one. It's mostly a self-contained television episode that, if it connects to core Destiny narrative/lore, does so by repeating and retreading previous ideas. Happy Noodle Boy posted:I feel the core of the issue if bungie wanting to have these wildly different settings and tone between expansions to make them stand out on their own while also trying to tell this fairly straightforward story of the encroaching darkness. Unfortunately for them, the cyberpunk neon future silver surfer quippy protectors being introduced at the same time the witness is finally here and loving poo poo up real good after we spent a whole rear end year building up his arrival feels mistimed. I agree. Before Lightfall came out I was hoping the last city got wrecked and thus we had to evacuate everyone to Neomuna. The story would actually have higher stakes, plus the added tension of Terrans and Neomunans adapting to each other. Roctavian fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Mar 1, 2023 |

A Buffer Gay Dude posted:To be fair there are (good and fair) arguments that they shouldn’t HAVE to explore it or that the identity should be able to be explored indirectly almost by dropping Nimbus’ personality into the story in media res and seeing how it plays out. Yeah I get those arguments & also the writing of Nimbus has some really important things right -- they're happy to be who they are, they're kind and helpful, etc. It's more noticing that there's things within the setting that the story could be about, but instead it is about nothing.

So, in retrospect, every puzzle in WQ where we had to activate Deepsight and platform around a tower going upward must have originally been "unlock strand" zone/missions. Thematically, all the zany Fynch stuff about "seeing connections" plus the evidence board plus strand would be a single conceptual thing. The vibe relates to how the Krill and Humanity and everybody is all bound by some thread of life. Altar of Reflections stuff was probably green and thread-themed rather than mirror-themed. I mean there's tons of threads and ropes and poo poo hanging in there already. And since all the story was loaded into WQ and the various mechanical advances and upgrades get pushed back to Lightfall, well this must account for how the writing feels rushed in LF.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:It's not true but roctavian makes a good case for it. Witch Queen environments were made After the decision was made to focus on Light reworks in year 5 and push the new darkness class to year 6. At this time Strand didn't even have an identity or name, let alone mechanics that would have influenced their campaign environments I used strand to figure this out, it might not be true in reality but it’s paracasually true

I'm crashin bad on terminal overrides and that new exotic mission, I have actually otherwise been enjoying playing recently as the narrative blunders of recent times matter to me as much as the narrative blunders of yore. But we have to keep our complaints evergreen: the new Astrotracts ornament for warlocks is designed to go with the ugliest exotic in the game, and lights up like a magic item from morrowind? Why is this here?

It’s just so hard to tell what Bungie design philosophy is, when any change to the game represents what they were thinking a year ago, six months ago, a month ago, and now — blended together and then spit out into a sandbox that probably no individual developer at Bungie anticipates ahead of time
