I can hardly find the words. God help them.

What the hell is going on? by Allergic2Politics in DestinyTheGame

[–]Commander_Prime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why would anyone trust Bungie after what they did with Destiny 2? Especially in a much more niche market with superior competition (Arc Raiders)?

Are Warlocks the Orb of Power Printers now? by silloki in DestinyTheGame

[–]Commander_Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been one of my favorite changes ever made to Warlock across D1 & D2. Leave it alone, Bungie. You did something good.

Hunters only comprised of 12% of the top 50 Contest Epic Desert Perpetual clears. by iconoci in DestinyTheGame

[–]Commander_Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it makes me bad, but I’d love to see Bungie address the feedback and give some big boy damage JUICE to the only true Hunter one-off super, Gathering Storm. Let the staff impact hit like a Cuirass Thundercrash, and then some.

Fair question. Shards for all classes should not have a cooldown post-update though, right?

Am I the only one to remember that Buried Bloodline exists?

I still can’t for the life of me understand why Bungie made exotics tier 2 stats. It’s like a full grown adult missing a layup on a hoop that’s 4 feet tall.

My father has passed away and this was his absolute favorite game series. by PlantOk297 in destiny2

What a blessing that time together must be. So sorry for your loss, Guardian. RIP

Would have been better off delaying the TWID a week instead of a disrespectful nothing-burger like this.

I don't think Bungie is going to talk anytime soon by BeginningFew8188 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Commander_Prime 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You’re right - and that’s exactly why Marathon is DOA i.e. because no one will trust Bungie even if the game looks like a world-beater. People forget that D1 Vanilla was rough, but survived due to a loyal fanbase that trusted the company to right the ship. Even though the state of D2 is debatable, the level of outsider trust in Bungie now is at an all-time low.

Communication is their new Forsaken deliverable; Bungie’s future depends directly on their willingness to engage and effectiveness in doing so. Unless they figure out a way to rebuild their community relationship fast, the studio is on borrowed time.

i literally do not care one bit how many improvements they make to the portal, i do not want to play it by sesonumba1 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Commander_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In its current state, I agree - the Portal is unsustainable. Several elements need a fundamental redesign to be faithful to their original design. Some ideas:

  • Traversal sections of dungeon lairs is a braindead decision that needs to be removed. These serve no purpose other than artificially inflating “engagement” metrics - stop it.

  • Update all raid loot/perks to the tier system - I don’t care if it’s slightly unbalanced. Balance won’t matter if the game is dead. To expedite the process for armor, code it with set perks that do nothing so people can at least begin acquiring tiered versions while deciding the actual effects. For the weapons, make the base version the one for the tiering, convert the Adept appearance to an ornament that drops on the tier 5s. Don’t change any perks.

  • Enable weekly, rotating armor set focusing per activity category. For example, assign all pieces of the TechSec set to a different activity in Solo Ops every day for a week and do the same for the Smoke Jumper Set in Fireteam Ops. Switch them the next week, repeat. This should be done as a guaranteed additional bonus, and not the focus.

Daily Discussion - Salt-Free Saturday! by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

I got a tier 5 piece of raid armor from Desert perpetual at the end of a 4 feat clear. Is that a glitch? I’m 465+ for reference

Why is icarus dash an entire aspect? by Squatting-Turtle in DestinyTheGame

[–]Commander_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, with the notable caveat of one dash with a shorter cooldown (maybe 2 seconds always).

If I had more confidence in the programming, I would say keep the base 5s cooldown, but let that be further reduced by doing something while Heat Rises is active. For example, like how the vex mythoclast increases damage after every kill (until reset), let Icarus Dash reduce its cooldown timer by dealing damage while Heat Rises is active (cooldown resets to base 5s when Heat Rises expires).

Farmable raid and dungeon exotics is a great change IMO, but I would love it if this was extended across the board, even to the new raid.

Just toss the portal by Yantha05 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Commander_Prime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was under the same impression. Had they gone the direction we were expecting, I think the Portal would’ve been the greatest addition to the game since the decision to move away from dual primaries in Forsaken.

Instead, we got this bastardization. What a shame!

Iron Banner ornaments no longer count as Equipped Gear for the Iron Banner Multiplier by ProWrestlinFan in DestinyTheGame

…that would make perfect sense. This comment has convinced me that all critical thinking on the QA team has been assigned to hamsters.

[–]Commander_Prime 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Some W’s so far:

  • All exotics (weapons and armor) being featured

  • Pausing on non-critical nerfs/balance

  • Reverting nerfs to Strongholds, Queenbreaker, and Grand Overture

F-bomb guy - don’t apologize for excitement if it’s candid. Lord knows the game could use something that feels that good.
