MarcusSA posted:PVP would be awesome if there was skill based matchmaking and if the gambit enemies leveled down as well. Not sure what you mean by gambit enemies leveled down but just to clarify, if your concern is that the gambit AI enemies are affected by your power level, they don’t - power level differences in gambit only matter vs players (Which is still dumb and bad but you overall don’t need to worry about sandbagging in gambit due to your power level)

Like if everyone playing the gambit was a similar LL just scale the enemies to our level so it’s not such pain in the rear end. That’s how it feels at least.

Rubellavator posted:you only see cheaters in trials and comp really. You typically see cheaters in other game modes in the evening. I did encounter a two stack of cheaters this morning. At first they were sitting at the back of the map sniping with Revokers, but as my team started outscoring them, the feed lit up with constant headshots from them. I looked one of them up on Destiny Tracker, and this person had Diamond Elo in Iron Banner, Trials (with 22 Flawless tickets), and Comp. Seems pretty sketchy for a 1.17 k/d player.

RBX posted:PVP has P2P, lag, cheaters, and aim assist everywhere. It's cool for a bit but I'm not investing serious time or effort into it. There are many valid reasons why people don't take it serious especially when there's more varied choices than ever out there to play. That's not even getting into how to get good guns for PVP which involves playing the PVE you guys think "doesn't matter". Yes these are all valid concerns and why the PvP in this game also kinda sucks. There's always this weird undercurrent of projection in these discussions, nobody has claimed anything about the PvP here aside from not wanting to have gear gated behind PvE content, much the same as some who wish they didn't have to engage with the PvP. MarcusSA posted:I dunno it just seemed at LL 1000 the enemies were strong as gently caress vs stuff I’m fighting in the field at that same power level. Coming back and playing Gambit at 750 LL I'm able to clear enemies and take down the primeval fine, I just can't effectively invade or deal with invaders.

Wheeee posted:Actually, the PvE "story" content exists to draw people in and get them hooked into the skinner box so as to increase engagement and retention, the same reason Respawn threw in the towel on their campaign model from Titanfall and added a traditional campaign to Titanfall 2. I’m pretty sure the reason Respawn “threw in the towel” is because “I’m not paying $60 for a game that doesn’t even have a single-player mode” was the #1 complaint about Titanfall 1. If it was even Respawn’s decision. I don’t see how putting together a raid team is more difficult than putting together a Trials or comp team, especially so when those modes have such a higher skill barrier than knowing a raid’s mechanics.

I just got an email from Bungie offering to sell me real life stuff for real life money if I complete bounties/triumphs. Most of the options are $20 medallions that represent in-game seals: I suspected Bungie had started adding more Seals/Titles last season because it's an easy/lazy way to compensate for a lack of (compelling) in-game content; I did not expect it to be part of a plan to monetize the Seal system. They're free to do so, and if that's extra revenue they gain access to that they can re-invest into the game then it could be a good thing for players. But it seems like further evidence that Bungie likes the idea of bounties/quests/triumphs/titles/seals/etc. driving player activity rather than focusing on improving the core gameplay loop or allowing players to engage with the content they most enjoy.

I highly doubt they make any appreciable cash from selling achievement items. They're a niche item made to order in tiny quantities, so if anything I expect they break even on the costs and only the manufacturer makes any money from them. Wish they'd go more niche, in fact. The Prophecy hoodie has a really nice, purely abstract design that might look good on premium materials - but I'm not paying fifty euro for a unisex polyester grey hoodie that will fit like a potato sack and will fall apart after three washes. Vice versa, the raid ring is actual silver but it's the ugliest, trashiest design you can imagine.

RocketRaygun posted:There is more content today when I logged in than the start of the season! Yea I'm actually pretty happy with this newest update. Gives us PVE folks something to actually do other than drat pinnacles. Though it does annoy me when they limit the seasonal quest drops to EP/gambit/some mode of gambit I never played. Groan.

What's this week's Ordeal? And ugh, I do not care for the umbral traces quest. No Bungie, I don't really want to play Gambit. Nor do I want to play Reckoning, and EP basically doesn't give Umbral Traces.

Fresh off the previous 30 seconds where I got 3 pistol kills and trying to get the entirety of IB finished last night along with the two seasonal weeklies, this happened and felt very, very nice. I ran at 1050 and have no idea who was higher than me. Didn't care, either. https://i.imgur.com/6BJE37k.mp4 (I know I stole that last kill and I don't care.) I had some Monster Train music on loop and that poo poo gets you pumped. I may dislike a ton of choices the designers make about this game but PvP can truly be so drat satisfying.

EP was giving me jack poo poo for traces. I guess you gotta get up to the higher tiers. Also I had a boss sprint full tilt away from my void bomb shatter orbs, escaping them, the timer then ran out and it was in that moment I decided I was not in the mood for more Destiny for the night. This game's AI is annoying as poo poo.

finally got in a spire prestige so I've done every raid at least once. I feel free maybe I'll write some words nobody cares about on how the raids feel but folks, they're good. except spire. otherwise they're good. glad they're adding destiny 1 raids since I skipped that game so it's basically new content

Gay Rat Wedding posted:finally got in a spire prestige so I've done every raid at least once. I feel free I liked Spire a lot, but it's definitely requires a tighter ship than most of the others. Where Last Wish required you to remember a lot of poo poo, Spire didn't have a lot going on, but what -was- going on needed to be executed quickly and efficiently. EDIT: And prestige for SoS and EoW were both meh with the modifiers instead of actually having extra mechanics like original Levi had.

As a someone who's only played the base campaign, how worth it is Forsaken and Shadowkeep?
|
# ? Jul 8, 2020 19:09 |
Forsaken was really good and fun and led to my coming back to the game for several months after having initially quit when Osiris came out, and I've been struggling to chip away at Shadowkeep logging in now and then because it's not particularly good or fun.
