Gimme a map that's just whatever weird poo poo drifter is thinking about that day. Gambit mode where it's a cooking competition and we're making a vex milk and cabal suit gel based dip for hive chitin chips. Coin flipping mini game.

I really want to wait and see how things shake out with the new system before getting ~mad at video games~ but goddamn am I tired of hearing about enhancing gunplay and nerfing ability poo poo yet again. They took a fat poo poo on ability cooldowns so many times already and it's taken this long to get that aspect of the fun rpg space magic back, just for them to turn around and probably do it again. It's tiring. I didn't get into destiny to play codblops copy paste. Divorce pvp and pve completely already, or suck it up and just let it ride goddamn.

stat mods should be 1/3 universally. being 2/4 just makes buildcrafting a bigger pain in the rear end, especially since stats tend to be the weakest part of any build (even moreso since they're nerfing ability cooldowns)

Yeah the champ counter changes are all fine and well, y'know, if bungie unfucks how buggy the mobs are in the first place. Totally cool to have this dumbass tacked-on system still around all these years later. Absolutely thrilling content.

Everyone's just talking about theoreticals here though, right? No one actually knows how any of this is gonna turn out?

Yeah, but we're also weighing it against the years of ~:bungie:iteration~ which is a pretty well known pattern of ineptitude. If it doesn't suck poo poo, hooray, but their track record is not exactly confidence inspiring.

Like, sure, this could be ok. But with all the moving parts they're loving with while not addressing certain QOL concerns it paints a pretty specific picture. I don't see me moving away from using DIM since it's functionally superior to what they've said is coming, the surge/whatever bs and added difficulty sounds like we're moving back towards raid lair loadout restrictions but instead of a complete lockout you just won't do damage worth a poo poo if you're not following the seasonal scripted meta they've decided to impose, and if the rewards are still lackluster for the time invested plus no drop protection for pinnacles and slots then this is just a lateral move at best.

I WANT to be wrong, so very badly. The story is cool af, the physics of the game are still head and shoulders above anything else that can compete in this market, and the skyboxes are phenomenal. Constantly getting hamstrung for a couple of seasons while they walk poo poo back isn't fun, and it keeps happening.

Yeah. They clearly have a bug up their rear end about trying to keep players from just sticking to one loadout for everything forever. They keep trying to design ways to "encourage" players to use other loadouts, which always suck poo poo, so they try something else, and that always sucks poo poo too. That's how we got sunsetting, that's how we got the raid lairs idea you mentioned, etc.

Until something changes that means they finally realize that "a new player finds a gun they like and never switches off of it so they never see the rest of the game!" is a made up idea, they're going to keep making these dumb as hell design compromises for the sake of a hypothetical with no actual consequences even if it came true. Fundamentally, they think that people using the same loadout for everything is a real problem that needs to be addressed. It isn't, and people* keep telling them to please, stop making us constantly jump through these hoops, and they just don't seem to care enough.

It always feels like Destiny is about a year away from being really good, but by the time a year has passed, there's new problems, half of which they've introduced intentionally. So catching up to where the game feels like it should be at takes forever, even just in terms of quality of life features.

*I don't want to be a "just listen to the community!" person, the community largely sucks. But there's a difference between listening about things the community wants added, and things the community wants removed. Ideas from the community for new stuff are almost always undercooked and idiotic. Things in the game that the players want removed are a lot more straightforward, because we already know all the consequences of their implementation.

You can have a system that encourages switching up loadouts without it being obtuse or too restrictive, and they have yet to figure that part out. I can't speak for anyone else, but I switch my poo poo up for fun based on what role I want to play or just if I want to approach enemies differently. But I also couldn't care less if someone has one build they love, whether it's optimal or not, and they just lean into it hard because that's how they want to play their escape from reality game. Just like how they wanted is to finally be able to do mono-elemental builds, it seems like they're trying to accomplish that but until next week we won't know if our even works well at all.

Goddammit I'll be happy if the 1kv changes are badass, I loved dps phases with it. It's still awesome for shooting mans and giving with people behind cover or invaders in gambit. Also bring back the bug where it screamed and broke eardrums lol

E: eagerly awaiting how I can redo my riptide/cartesian/1kv solar warlock build with the new mods, but if they're removing the weapon ammo finders instead of just adding to them that'll be sad. And give me a heavy trace rifle and legendary kinetic slot one so that can be goofy too.

I dont think 1kv will be a boss dps weapon. It seems like it will be very good on paper but the ability to kill yourself with it hampers it's utility. Sleeper seems similarly poised to be a good option for dps but doesn't suffer from the "oops i'm dead for this whole dps phase" problem that 1kv does.

I know, but it would be nice if it were competitive at least. It was so goddamn good before.

Looking at the list of shaders she has, they're all stuff from before the season pass system was introduced. Specifically, I see the base game planet and faction shaders, the shaders from the Mercury and Mars expansions, and the shaders from the 3 proto-seasons in the Y2 Annual Pass offering. There is still no way to obtain anything that's been vaulted from season 8 onward

Stasis is loving dead, which makes me sad. They nerfed reserves on aeger by way of reserve mods being poo poo. Triple stack and I can't get max ammo on it. Ammo finder seems like it got nerfed and orb generation is super slow too now it seems. I think I'm done playing for the day after 2 hours. Feels extremely bad to play, and not because of the power level deficit, I can deal with that it's nothing new. But goddamn it feels tedious to play. Probably go back to maining void since resilience is poo poo and ability regen is just awful. Power fantasy means fantasizing about power, who knew!
