I appreciated that Eramis didn't forget to level grind, going from pointlessly easy to a significant challenger.

Yeah I don't think I agree with the idea the game is almost at the end of it's life cycle. It's pretty clear there is intended to be content beyond The Final Shape. If they were going to stop active development on Destiny 2 they wouldn't be wasting their time adding so many features and backend content. The fact they're reprising stuff in the game is just something the Warcraft developers have started to figure out now. The game has a tremendous amount of content and they're killing themselves making tons of new stuff that would go away and be irrelevant when they could just spruce up and put in old stuff at significantly less development cost much faster.

Gadzuko posted:The Witness just being a guy when the traveler is a gigantic unfathomable orb is kind of unsatisfying to me. It can't really end up as Anime Eyes Guy vs. Giant Orb, can it? The Witness is a paracausal god who most likely used to be a mortal. My guess is it's a collective entity through an egregor link, and disrupting that will rob him of his divinity and bring him back to a singular, vulnerable individual.

SUNKOS posted:I've been getting back into the game (finally finished Beyond Light campaign kinda, it's now telling me to see Variks for post-campaign missions) and this is very new to me. How do I find the daily lost sector for doing this, is there some way of knowing which one on which planet it is? Or is it just whatever lost sector you choose to do on the higher difficulty and that gets locked-in for the day if you complete on the higher difficulty? Once you do all the lost sectors on normal you'll see it on the planet that it's active's map. https://www.light.gg/ Or you can use light gg. There is a tab there under Ada-1 that is the daily lost sector and potential rewards. Today, sunday the 26th is Bunker E15. The easiest lost sector in Destiny.

ponzicar posted:I've been avoiding online discussions of Lightfall until I finished the campaign, and I'm surprised to see all the extremely online gamers getting mad about it. I guess Witch Queen is a hard act to follow. There's certainly rough spots; it's closer in quality to the pre WQ expansions, but I don't really get the hatred. The witch queen set a new bar. All of Beyond Light's seasons were setup to the witch queen payoff. This clearly isn't the case with Witch Queen's seasons. It's significantly under that bar and we've regressed to shadowkeep level storytelling. It's a real shame. And there are other problems like strand taking up so much of the campaign, being significantly less powerful than story version, etc. I don't think the expansion is horrible but they definitely need to up their loving game.

What difficulty are we complaining about again? Because the power curve isn't going to increase as seasons go on, and there are significant weapon buffs coming next season. So if legendary lost sectors are a problem now, they're going to be significantly less challenging as time goes on.

Hey guys Destiny 2 is not that hard and frankly, it did need a difficulty increase. It's still a solidly casual experience and with a proper buildcraft (which they are pushing players to do engage in and is easier than ever with loadouts) the difficulty increase outside some overtuned content may as well been an academic exercise. I'm actually right there with you the idea that sometimes I just want to relax and have a gaming burger. And Destiny still easily allows that. They went too far and balanced it poorly is the actual issue. Use a bow or a SMG in content you find difficult and you'll be surprised at how fast stuff dies. The rest of our weapons are getting tuned up to their level by next season as well as some underused exotics. So yeah. It's a good thing to get pushed out of comfort zones sometimes. You'll find a new comfort zone level as you improve.

RBX posted:Nobody asked for it. No, people did. They just didn't understand what they were asking for. Everyone has done "The Corrupted" strike and everyone has a story of the blueberry who doesn't understand how the throwing charges work and just makes the entire experience significantly harder for other players. Especially on harder difficulties. Or the nightfall where nobody has champion counters. It's because the game allowed incredibly passive play in the lower difficulty bands that didn't encourage getting better or creating milestones of improvement for so long is the reason that happens. I think people will be completely surprised at general skill levels once in-game groupfinding is put into the game in the final season.

quote:absolutely delusional Kinda surprised someone is legitimately this upset at conflicting opinions. I suggest trying out other weapons than what you're used to. I'm actually in the camp that Neomuna can be a slog as an example- but I think this is mostly a problem of weapon balance than design of the space itself. No, challenge and self improvement is actually what drives people to play games in general actually. Especially RPG's. Destiny's issue with challenge is one of balance and rewards. The lower tiers are unbalanced and the difficulty progression got upended and the higher tier doesn't offer rewards commensurate with it's difficulty spike.

Chappy posted:
I absolutely agree. I said so in the post you're quoting. However Destiny is still a pretty casual experience. You can still use sub-optimal builds and weapons in all the content pretty successfully. I went through the entire legendary campaign with a weapon bugged to do 40% less damage and found it pretty reasonably difficult and only learned about the bug after completing it. There were kills of Nezarac with Rat King in Challenge mode as an example. Being encouraged into the buildcrafting experience is legitimately healthy for the game. And as I said- with a reasonable build any difficulty increase in (not overtuned) content has been mostly academic, especially after the recent rebalance. quote:What website do you think you're on lmao ...Touche.

"Self improvement" doesn't mean you're playing the game to become a better person. The light level grind or item level grinds are examples of "self improvement". RPGs generally get that dopamine hit on progression systems with levels, gear, etc. fast cars loose anus posted:No, people generally play games for fun. Nintendogs outsold Elden Ring. Challenge is fine but if you're gonna provide matchmaking things you gotta aim low. I can get better, it appears the randos I get paired with in heroic nightfalls cannot or at least not consistently. This isn't remotely a comparable thing. Nintendogs is a pet raising simulator. Elden Ring is an action RPG. There is...a bit of a different audience and general gameplay. Conversely, Elden Ring shows that steady progression of difficulty and gameplay that rewards outside the box thinking and exploration is actually really popular.

syntaxfunction posted:For everyone who was flipping their poo poo because bungie didn't release a statement on it and so they assumed bungie was totally fine with everything, yeah, it is good. Destiny is fun, and really great general gameplay. But they -clearly- are sunsetting the game and it's frustrating they're letting the game die by 1000 cuts. When "We don't have the resources to make 1 armor set for free anymore" is openly admitted, it's a problem. This is their cash cow that is funding their other games.

Firebert posted:The real takeaway is that the game is actually done after TFS, despite what they told us. Or their ‘modular content’ or whatever the hell they called it is going to be threadbare or written by machine learning. I pointed this out during the showcase reveal and folk were really upset about this. Which I get, the content looks great and hype happens. Bad timing. But yeah it's pretty clear Destiny has aggressively been put on maintenance and now it's about wringing blood from the stone. It's a real shame. After the Witch Queen I -genuinely- believed the hype that "Destiny's best days are ahead of us". All the problems of the game at that point were clearly fixable. Seeing all this happen is extremely disappointing. Destiny deserved better.

And it deserves high quality employees like Liana Ruppert edit: and everyone else fired today to make that vision a reality. But these incompetent loving executives are objectively ruining a fantastic product that realistically could have no competition with more investment chasing short term profits. It's not a gimmick or doomposting to simply point out I see the quality is rapidly decreasing, the price is increasing, the monetization is the worst it's ever been, player numbers are explicitly half of what they were at the same time last year, and Bungie is clearly in a loving tailspin.
