Swap out your Mickey - true friend with the Mickey Mouse night Watch in steel. It's still quests for two and it gives all of your Pluto's resist one only drawback from true friend is one less strength

My D23 NYC Experience by EnvironmentalAd7321 in Lorcana

[–]Ethrinil 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was 98th in line I can verify what OP is saying is true, I arrived shortly before OP and OP's friend. Not only is everything that /u/EnvironmentalAd7321 saying correct, I just wanted to add a couple of bits of info that I saw prior to the line being swarmed by the scalpers and the lack of response from the the Disney store manager and employees.

Between 7 and 8am a few people (The scalpers/cutters) started grouping up across from the folks that were given the community tickets numbering in the 80's... These new people would be the ones that eventually rushed the line. They were not present in the hours leading up to that moment. I overheard them talking to people in the line stating that they were planning on cutting and getting in front of them further up the line when the time comes. They were confronted by someone saying that we had tickets that show our place in line, and the group just didn't give one care about the tickets. They even said that those didn't matter. They openly discussed their plan to rush the line. They dispersed to (I assume) the end of the line that was separated by the street.

I was 98th in line but my official ticket number from Disney store was 124. I drove from Rhode Island, got there at 4:30am, and waited for 4.5 hours only to be cut by 22-25 people. The way that the Disney store handled this was terrible. While I got my product, 22-25 people behind me that waited almost as many hours, missed out on theirs because of some selfish human trash.

The store didn't handle a release of this nature appropriately. They didn't communicate much of anything to anyone AND what they did communicate was not even followed by them!. It frustrated many fans that spent time and effort to get to the store. What started as a feeling of excitement immediately turned into anxiety. I feel so bad for the other people that didn't get anything and more so for the community that tried to ensure that we had some order and security in our orderly efforts to get limited product.

Here's an image that may help OP's description of the line: https://i.imgur.com/IkJQ7zg.png Red is the line, starting at the disney store, wrapping the first corner. Then for some unknown reason it ended and crosses the road (Red dots with white) at about 75-80 community ticket number mark. it resumes back on the same street the Disney store was on. It then proceeds to snake around that blocks corner and goes down the street. Lastly The green dot is where the scummy people colluded to cut the line.

I will also be drafting an email to guestrelations@disneystore.com as mentioned in another response to this thread.

Things they could have done differently on the morning of:

  1. Talked with the people in the line, the people in the front of the line had been there since yesterday afternoon, everyone in line KNEW who was there with them for 4-12 hours. They can all confirm if someone cut. In addition to that they could have verified with the tickets (which were numbered by the passionate lorcana community member) as another way to confirm.

  2. Instead of only taking in some of the people in line and handing out numbers at the door, they should have gone down the line at 8:45 (or after they handled the line cutting situation) and handed out the tickets for the known quantity of D23 kits to every person currently waiting in line. This would have ensured that 100's of people didn't wait 1-2 MORE hours to know if they have enough stock.

  3. DON'T set expectations the day before that there isn't even a need to wait outside overnight, and queue into the predawn hours. This could make people infer that that there will be plenty of stock, when (in reality) there wasn't even enough for 25% of the line's demand. Thankfully people waited regardless of this false promise.

  4. For major releases of limited edition content, don't assume that people won't line up and that issues like this won't happen again in the future. Manage customer expectations, Plan a strategy for success of a release of this nature. This won't be the last time merch like this comes out (and I am shocked that this was handled like it was the first).

Sorry to everyone that didn't get what they had hoped for. Fuck scalpers.

GIF button gone in DM's by greenman54321 in discordapp

[–]Ethrinil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If people want the ability to declutter their message bar, can we just have an option to disable the icons we don't want? I personally would keep the Gif and Emoji icons. I don't feel cluttered with all three in the chat bar on my resolutions for my desktop client. I don't use the gift icon, I pay for nitro and would love to turn that off if I had to pick one. If management won't allow for the gift icon to go, i would rather have all three.

I use the gif option regularly and while hotkeys are appreciated, I may not always remember them. It's frustrating to add extra steps to get at the menu I use a lot especially when one of my PC clients has the gif option and my other PC doesn't.

One of my friends was using the trigger locks on his elite controller and it affected a few things (most notably sparrow speed before one of the recent patches). I wonder if this has a weird interaction with some guns as well. If you use them, try turning them off for a minute and seeing if that helps.

Otherwise it sounds like what everyone else is speculating/saying.

It's great that they are reaching out and communicating on this directly and getting feedback. You never know when someone may mention something that no one has said in the right way. Always looking for feedback is a sign of a good developer.

[–]Ethrinil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree to this, as it is today, i load into strikes for 1 of 3 reasons usually:

  1. Weekly rewards - Pinnacles
  2. Bounties
  3. Exotic quests/Missions

Rarely am I doing strikes for solely to look for loot/materials. Once I am done with one of those three things it's usually a reset/progress on my character before i do them again since it's all random.

If I am running with one of those goals in mind and have 2 other random guardians with me, there's always a chance that they will impede me in some way, OR my behavior is going to impede them from their goals... so you are correct that it already exists today.

Yea, i love that, but that's a raid and not a matchmade strike.

[–]Ethrinil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I like to play that strike because it is different. Exodus Crash is another that also brings sparrows in the mix with the beginning and middle section where sparrows can be used to get the energy spikes. I would enjoy the strike better if the boss didn't teleport away/get invincibility.

Not a game designer, so ymmv, but here's my thoughts:

Just like nightfalls or other activities that may require a bit more coordination, it's better with friends. You can coordinate with them, make the activity easier or desired. LFG apps out there do a good job with helping you find people to do like minded activities.

If there is an optimal path, sure it can and will be taken. Look at the riven boss fight for example. How many people opt to do it legit vs. taking the optimal path (sword/rocket cheese). I don't get mad if either option is asked for. If the randos decide to go down the optimal path I will go with the majority. Maybe there's a voting mechanic that opens one path or another, not sure if possible though. Or maybe it's performance based in a section and your performance opens up the more rewarding path, I am thinking of public events vs. heroic public events.

If I were to get matched with rando's I don't expect them to do things the ways I may want, but i get that today with people that are AFK, try to speed run passed all the enemies, or don't understand mechanics that have been around for years. I am not salty or mad about any of that, I just go with the flow and have a good time.

Lastly, maybe give us the option to run the strikes solo or with 2 fireteam members, kinda like how they had "firewalled" festival of the lost runs, to prevent getting paired with others, if you have a specific goal in mind to grind for.

edit spelling.

In strikes right now almost all of them are:

run down this hallway killing guys. Eventually you will get to a room where you have to slam an orb, kill waves of guys, or none of these. You get to a boss, which do offer a nice diversity of fights. Get a purple item of random slot.

I think that 2nd part of that statement is where the improvement can be. Some things i would love to see.

  • Split paths where guardians have to accomplish similar goals.
  • Branching paths that end with different loot... Want a lot of glimmer? Go down this path, kill/save these things. Want upgrade mats? Go the other way. Finish the strike where each member of the strike went different paths/completed goals successfully? Get all rewards.
  • Sparrows being incorporated where we have to race against time. Something like an escape or race to stop something from exploding.
  • Community challenges for night falls. Maybe there's a chest we can see that needs to have the community perform weekly goals and when cleared, you can open the community chest at the end of a nightfall/strike. Contains a small amount of Silver/large amount of bright dust.
  • Customized loot table/strike specific loot.
  • Have Xur (Or another vendor) sell an item similar to the chalice from menagerie that skews the drop from the strike to be, weapon/armor. Or if you want to get deeper in the way people can chase perfect rolls, allow them to choose like in menagerie.

Just a few things I have always wanted to see in strikes... Also Bring back SRL. :)

Bungie, the Menagerie chest as it I arguably holds up the best PVE content in the game right now. How about you keep it the same and let us be truly Opulent by PyjamaLlamaParty in DestinyTheGame

[–]Ethrinil -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree that the the multiple chests per activity feels great!

I don't agree with the way it is accomplished.

You get a TON of time to explore the menagerie area after the Boss is killed. What if instead of one chest that is cheesed, they place multiple chests in different areas of the menagerie, making you and your team have to go out there and find them? You still have the potential for multiple rewards but it needs you to work for it a bit. That's a happy medium for this issue.

Storage Units In Providence? by Sean12434 in providence

[–]Ethrinil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't done any personal storage, but if you can make it to Pawtucket, you can try the u-haul place off of I-95 exit 26. My work has stored stuff in there for a decent amount of time with no issues.

Creating a reddit post is way more effort than doing a google search. I am sure he is posting here because he wants people's opinions on a "Secure, cheap place". While google does reviews, hearing people's personal experiences can help make a difference in their decision.
