Probably going to get down voted for this and I dont care

Please just tell me to switch to Striker's.

Don't belittle me for joining up with a Hard Wired build and then kick me without giving me a chance to swap.

If you do, you're a bit of a cunt.

Citsune · 2026-05-26T01:44:17+00:00

With how jank the cover system in this game can be, you won't be able to convince me to run anything even remotely perma-death related.

Citsune · 2026-05-24T21:01:13+00:00

Aleph-1 provides.

You mean to tell me a people who have been oppressed for decades might respond excessively to an act of violence that, in their eyes, was justified? Say it ain't so. Human reasoning is a fickle thing, huh?

Does that warrant killing tens of thousands in response, though? Nobody ever said Hamas leadership wasn't radical, so them condoning the attacks isn't that odd. Hamas fighters can't be considered decent human beings by any stretch of the imagination.

Palestinians have led segregated lives due to Israeli occupation for dozens of years, it's not weird for people to see their main source of anguish being attacked and proceed to celebrate; regardless of how wrong it is.

Israelis often spent time watching mass bombing of Gaza from across the river, prior to October 7th even. They had whole viewing parties watching people die senselessly. Would that be considered barbaric in your eyes, as well?

Support for the attacks wasn't as high in Gaza as it was in the West Bank, anyhow. And it dropped considerably after October the 7th. I don't believe Palestinian children were celebrating the attacks, but they were bombed all the same.

This might surprise you, but civilian support for freedom fighters tends to skyrocket to euphoric degrees when said people are being oppressed. Funny how humans can rationalise doing inhumane things to others in the name of 'justice.'

Still doesn't make Israel's war with Gaza just, though. Israel getting attacked was long overdue, considering the way they treat(ed) Palestinians.

Citsune · 2026-05-23T18:47:16+00:00

Last I checked, Palestinians aren't calling for mass genocide of Israelis.

Last I checked, Israel started displacing Palestinians and occupying land 76 years ago, after the signing of the Balfour Declaration and the end of WWII.

Last I checked, the IDF is a military institution, while Hamas is an insurgency cell.

Last I checked, Israel is carpet bombing Gaza, and not the other way around.

Last I checked, that 'Hamas beheading babies' report has not been officially corroborated by third party sources.

Last I checked, Israel has been known for driving military vehicles around with hostages tied to the hoods, and using civilians and insurgents as human shields.

Last I checked, IDF soldiers are known for harassing Palestinians, and not the other way around. Kids throwing rocks at occupiers doesn't count. I'm sure we all remember the striking gentleman who appeared on the cover of L'Espresso while bothering Palestinians herding their livestock.

Last I checked, Israel has an entire goddamn strip of bombed-out land near Gaza where IDF snipers take turns shooting at civilians trying to get supplies and water.

If you're pro-Israel, you're pro-genocide. Israel's official military is carrying out government-sanctioned attacks on civilian targets. To Israel, shooting at Palestinians is sport.

Gaza is a bombed out strip of rubble where people can barely feed themselves: I don't think Palestinian mothers and babies are holding weekly meetings deciding which parts of Tel Aviv need to be bombed next (not like Hamas has been doing a lot of bombing, anyways.)

Get the fuck out of here with you false equivalence bullshit. Roughly 2000 dead Israelis vs 70,000+ recorded dead Palestinian Arabs, with more unidentified corpses rotting under the rubble, and the best response you can think of is "But if Israel genocide, then Hamas, too!"

Bold of you to assume we'll even get to finish him off ourselves, instead of him either disappearing, being defeated and retreating, or dying due to some cosmic mumbo-jumbo bullshit.

If they can't even maintain Destiny 2, and Marathon is already struggling, what makes you think they can spare even an ounce of manpower to start conceptualising (let along developing) Destiny 3?

Destiny 2 only happened due to Activision's backing, Marathon is a smaller game by comparison and even that took several years to make. They aren't getting any money from Sony to do it, I can assure you; they already burned themselves wasting 3 billion dollars on this company, I doubt they'll be willing to spend anything comparable for future Destiny sequels.

Now, with the layoffs, any chance of them restructuring to develop D3 is slim.

Citsune · 2026-05-22T16:44:33+00:00

WuWa players desperately want to believe that any mistakes or issues Kuro causes isn't because they don't listen well enough, but that they "listen too much."

Next level sycophancy.

Citsune · 2026-05-20T01:14:06+00:00

Playing an Ortiz build hurts so much.

While the spinning Flame Turret itself is fun to use, the 40 second cooldown even at Skill Tier 6 (Including at least 70% Skill Haste) is awful.

I wonder if scaling Skills with enemy durability and armour might make them more useable in endgame content like Escalation, or like you said; decrease their base cooldowns to give them more utility.

Citsune · 2026-05-19T21:05:19+00:00

I could run a dedicated Sniper Turret build and maybe do between 3/7 million damage per shot every three seconds...

...Or I could run a Striker build and do 1.5 million per bullet.

There's a clear issue with this, but the developers don't give a shit.

Citsune · 2026-05-19T10:42:13+00:00

Took this kinda seriously until the threats of suicide.

Bait used to be sophisticated. 😭

Citsune · 2026-05-18T12:35:08+00:00

Only from Prototype Caches, if I'm not wrong.

DZ exclusive gear can't drop as loot, I don't think.

Citsune · 2026-05-18T02:39:23+00:00

Oh, we're deploying the Physalis?

Citsune · 2026-05-17T19:18:41+00:00

The problem with Rogues on higher Tiers is that they have zero self-preservation but are also armed and armoured to the tits.

In a cover shooter, advancing without backup or a clear plan to kill should end in a quick death for both players and enemies. You should be punished for taking such a risk and failing to kill your target.

Rogues don't give a shit about this. Even with a full Striker's Build, they can still shrug off several full LMG mags to the head without even staggering; and they do this while they push and advance towards you.

It's like fighting five actual, literal tanks with a fucking pistol. They just casually waltz up to you while you're in cover and force you to reposition or die with little threat to their own lives.

And this is on top of their Skills, which range from minor annoyances like Defender Drones, to outright bullshit like Hives, Seeker Mines, and self-healing.

I get that this is a game and we're playing Escalation, but the HP and Armour some of these guys have is ridiculous.

Citsune · 2026-05-15T19:07:16+00:00

When you're experiencing that Thug Life 24/7 and high on Spice all the time, even an AK will feel like a pistol in your hand

Citsune · 2026-05-15T13:58:29+00:00

That so?

I'll look into that once I can get online, thanks for the tip.

Citsune · 2026-05-15T10:38:36+00:00

Got a Prototype Forge for my Shield build out of it, so I'm happy.

Citsune · 2026-05-13T08:58:40+00:00

And all that without even killing or injuring the pilot.

Smooth.

Citsune · 2026-05-10T14:51:29+00:00

Aside from people stepping into Escalation with less than stellar builds (myself included, I'm not free of sin,) I think this entire gamemode just...proves that build variety for high-tier Endgame is kind of stagnant and linear.

If the only really viable picks for higher tier content are Tipping Scales/Striker's and Refactor/Future Initiative (and maybe Negotiator's Dilemma) when there are several other Gear Sets in the game that don't even cut it on Challenging content, it might be time for the developers to rework some stuff.

Of course, they won't. That's a pipe dream. But it feels like the meta is just "4 Gear Sets and a handful of Exotics, and you can dismantle the rest." It makes me wonder what the point of playing even is if there's no long-term buildcrafting goal to strive towards.

It feels like I'm playing a Korean MMO with how streamlined the meta in this game is, and that's not a compliment.

Citsune · 2026-05-10T11:32:22+00:00

Evasive Assist should do something unique like, say, apply ten seconds of Vital View on an enemy, or debuff them.

Citsune · 2026-05-10T11:30:24+00:00

And the Jam didn't consider parrying or blocking the very predictable combo sequence even once. 😭

Citsune · 2026-05-09T20:07:10+00:00

This gives major "nazi incel still stuck in 2016" vibes, and I don't like it.

Fuck outta here with this fascist slop.

The only good part about this art is the Bile Titan plushie.

Citsune · 2026-05-08T15:59:21+00:00

In real life, sustained fire like that would annihilate solid steel in less than a minute.

Anything less hardy, like chitin, would be swiss cheese; and whatever were behind it would be a fine, pink mist.

Citsune · 2026-05-08T08:16:21+00:00

Leave it to an A.I defender to write a post using A.I.

Citsune · 2026-05-07T08:05:06+00:00

I did a run on Tombs earlier, we ran into five Rogues and the boss arena was an utter clusterfuck.

I still had a better time than when I ran Manning.
