just finished the shadowkeep campaign and.... man what a weird loving campaign to launch alongside your giant free to play release. not even the reskins i have a problem with, just the complete reliance upon knowledge of previous fights. pretty massively disappointing after i let myself get excited about the weird concept art, though obviously i was not expecting any actual new enemy types given it's a destiny expansion i hope the endgame stuff and raid are good at least

annoying bug: the weekly heroic story bounty that eris gives randomly completed itself after i redid a different story mission with a friend. i claimed it but didn't get powerful gear, and it didn't show the challenge as completed in the map. i just did the heroic story mission and... still did not get the powerful gear, nor did the challenge complete, even though i finished the bounty

just finished the first vex offensive. seems solid, though it doesn't have nearly as much going on as menagerie, unless there's like some randomness to it that wasn't obvious? maybe something will shift on a weekly rotation at least

I'm debating whether to go in on all the new lore books that are in the data but not yet in the game - there's something to be said for not spoiling yourself - but I just finished unlocking and reading the new book you get from killing Vex and  It's not that shocking to bring Praedyth back, but the loving return of the Ishtar Collective is absolutely wild!!!

President Ark posted:re: lore, i strongly suggest that if you read nothing else you read the books of sorrow which is all about the history of the hive, their bonkers religion, and contains a pretty large amount of the cosmology/philosophy/etc. most of the 'evil' races are operating under (tl;dr: hyper-darwinism/social darwinism where being a cock also gives you superpowers) the hive are by far the most fleshed out enemy race in the lore, but it's really interesting to me that they're the only ones who seem entirely molded and aligned with the darkness (assuming the worm gods are borne of it). like, normal ol vex you run into seem to be on a different path from the "sol divisive" faction of the black garden, who have adopted the darkness. same with normal ol cabal (who simply wanted to steal the traveler's power) versus emperor calus's Nihilism Party Boat, who encountered the darkness at the edge of space and went "oh we're all completely hosed, but let's do everything we can to stick around for the end of the world." oddly, i don't think we've ever seen any fallen follow the darkness, as much as they seem to follow just about every other evil faction the game has to offer. they're on the run from the darkness and desperately chasing the traveler trying to win back its favor, but i don't think we've ever seen any go "hmm maybe the darkness has some good ideas"

don't really get why the legendary challenges are 1000 light and the new public events are 980 when the base power level is 950 in this season. I'm still at like 953 and not really sure how I'm supposed to level with any of the new stuff

guess i've got 3 months to finally do the leviathan raid wings and crown of sorrow  the thing i'm most newly-annoyed about is that the Deep Stone Crypt is like the one legitimately interesting remaining lore mystery of Destiny (I think literally everything else has been figured out, though i'm not up to date on the last couple sets of lore books) and they should have held announcing the location of the raid for a cooler cinematic trailer imho

The thing with removing the legacy campaigns is that there's good reasons beyond filesize. If it was just disk space, I do think they should have found a way to allow you to install that content on-demand. I think the larger problem is that the gear progression and difficulty is completely hosed, and there's probably a large level of maintenance. required. I think the way the campaigns tie into the open world might be hard to unfuck, too; it'd be weird if when you warp into the campaign on Mars you like had access to escalation protocol and public events you can't normally get to. Man, I should take a look at my like 20+ quests relating to destinations going away. I still have some bullshit to do on Mars for sure (Ikelos?). Might just go ahead and preemptively drop anything I don't expect to get done within 3 months, but I feel like if I do Bungie will be like "surprise anyone with an in-progress legacy exotic quest just gets the gun!!" a day before the expansion release or something.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:There's a weekly challenge to do 4 crucible matches from the core playlist, a challenge to do 4 crucible matches from the rotator playlist, and a challenge to do 8 crucible bounties Discospawn posted:Weekly challenges for Vanguard, Gambit, and Crucible were showing up for me. They remained Pinnacles from last season, not Powerfuls, but otherwise existed. You can use the 'Progress' tab on Destiny Item Manager (https://app.destinyitemmanager.com/) to check what it's seeing for your characters. Neither of these show up for me. Do y'all have the season pass? I wonder if it's (intentionally or not) gated behind that, or if this is just that good ol' Bungie launch magic where it's, IDK, punishing me for not logging in more last season.

ok i just loaded into the nessus black strike that starts with you getting the big light pillars. i got immediately killed by fanatics while trying to sparrow past them, which i did not remember being a thing, then we wiped because presumedly that happened to other folks, then we got stuck at the respawn leaderboard for 40 seconds, then when that ended i was the only person in the instance folks, this game is still broken thankfully since i can't do the fuckin weekly strike/crucible/gambit challenges anyways, i do not care whether or not i finish these instances, i just want to work on bounties

Man, getting rid of Titan means losing the awesome Cayde-6 lore dump quest (I think part of Ace of Spades?). It’s also the last big mention of the Deep Stone Crypt in the lore, so it’s kind of annoying to me that it’s going away right as the Deep Stone Crypt is visited. Which, by the way, as the only remaining person who cares about this game’s lore, I am still deeply pissed that they tossed off the “Deep Stone Crypt is the next raid” reveal in a blog post instead of a cinematic trailer or something. I look forward to it being incredibly underwhelming from both a lore and gameplay perspective, finally destroying the last bit of mystique left in the lore. At least the skyboxes will hopefully be nice. really I look forward to, like most of the raids, not having any friends to run it with . at least I got to do Leviathan and Last Wish...

Repeating this information from a Discord I'm in, so apologies if it's inaccurate, but: I guess the umbral engrams have a bugged chance of becoming a powerful drop, which is causing progression to be faster than normal with umbrals. I'm gonna be bummed if that gets fixed, since I was thinking "oh wow, I'm already 1020 just from playing relatively casually; why would I need to bother with this AFK grind business?"

Holyshoot posted:Your average player of this type of game probably gives two fucks about lore. Play a jrpg if you want good lore. Or some other rpg focused game. ah yes, players of mmos don't usually care about lore, that is why ff14, an mmo that requires you to play basically a 200 hour linear rpg story to access the endgame, is notably unpopular i'll concede you're not that wrong in the overall loot game space (warframe has a similarly unclear story, though much more intentionally; diablo 3's story is a joke and you can completely skip the campaign in favor of seasonal mode) but if you're going to spend the time, money, and gigabytes on story, it would be nice if it was presented in a coherent manner also in another case of bungie just seeming to be literally unwilling to look at any other games on the market, ff14's upcoming content squish is far better - it shortens the core story of the most dull fetch quest missions without removing any meaningful content, and certainly not any meaningful instanced content

Sample_text posted:The goal is to keep you on the treadmill. If your existing guns are too good, there's a good chance you won;t farm for the current season's loot, because outside of exotics the guns in this game are not very creative or interesting. have you noticed that other mmos and loot games do not have this problem almost as if there are other solutions, such as making more unique content so you don't have to try to come up with new reasons for players to spend another 3 months running the same 3 game modes that have barely changed over the past year

Lexorin posted:Can we just get rid of LLs? It's loving stupid at this point. I'm pretty sure no one feels more powerful for juicing their LL by 50 points considering every activity is just as hard as it is if you were 750. If you MUST have LLs at least make it so if you are a hundred+ LL over a given activities minimum required LL then you should be able to solo that poo poo with ease, raids included. i agree with this but the problem is, what do you do in destiny every season with no number to go up? because that's what bungie's numbers people staring at an engagement chart are worried about

bungie walks the most incredibly frustrating line between transparency (seventeen page screeds by luke smith) and opaqueness (taking days to respond to basic bug reports on reddit, giving mere "thank you for the feedback" responses to widely-agreed-upon community demands with no timetable or indications that they recognize it as a problem) because of this, I do genuinely wonder: did they intend, when they set out back on Forsaken, to add more Crucible and Gambit maps over the seasons, and realize late that this was impossible given their circumstances, whatever the gently caress those circumstances are? genuinely I think the best thing Bungie could do for anyone in the community to ever trust them again would be to break down exactly how much time and effort go into these things and why they are impossible for them to do. like, yeah, it'd be admitting their toolsets are busted and they've moved a significant portion of the company to their next project(s), but we already loving know that, so just admit it and move on. we know your poo poo's broken, and you don't have to worry about Activision getting mad at you admitting it, so just tell the community that your testing and QA is lacking and it's incredibly hard for you to make new content due to a variety of mistakes i am also extremely suspect that it took a year for the Gambit & Prime revamp, which was announced during the big Luke Smith post last year, to (supposedly) make it into Beyond Light, still with no details. that screams "we actually hosed up and this should have been done sooner, but we quickly realized we couldn't do a turnaround on this within a season because it'd break too much poo poo or was just too difficult" abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Jun 18, 2020 |

does anyone have any tips on how the gently caress to get to 18 tribute hall tributes by the end of this season? I extremely do not understand the grind involved and feel like I'm missing some context, but I don't know if existing resources on this are out of date or what. i really want bad juju, it was my favorite destiny 1 gun I'm at like... 7 now? but I blew a bunch of resource on the first level of some of these and the prices of the next level are super high, and I have no idea of a path to getting more tributes that doesn't involve me either grinding leviathan or grinding menagerie, which seem like they are not going to be fun to do at this point GoGoGadgetChris posted:Just use a Mountaintop or a Telesto or a Xenophage and none of your other weapons matter, at all assuming you're talking about the weekly, i have none of these guns and used like some random linear fusion rifle and pulse rifle and didn't have any issues soloing the weekly. again, there's no darkness zones, and other than the section with the platforming the respawn points aren't that annoying abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Jun 21, 2020 |
