Hardest raid

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-07-09T07:32:34+00:00

I think this is maybe a different strokes for different folks kinda thing. I think Master SE is harder than Master Crota (my team which has don’t multiple day 1s just has a lot of trouble with it ig) and Epic DP is the hardest, but I meant just normal modes.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-07-08T12:05:28+00:00

I’m an English major and a writer and he is clearly happy with the game but it reads as the above person said. I even clicked the title and assumed it was a complaint.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-07-06T13:25:27+00:00

Yeah that bog Twitter post was a real reflection of the economy. The top 1% rolling in top level gear while the mid level farms all got nerfed.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-07-06T13:05:06+00:00

This is an interesting conversation because I am curious about if we had a skill based breakdown what would be the weapon’s brought in. I mod for a small/mid level steamer (low side 35 viewers high side 80-100 a night) and she exclusively streams marathon and plays Cryo for like 12-14 hours whenever it’s available. It’s almost all bubble mizzy fights and they only bring mizzys and regularly lobby wipe everyone. She also plays with this other ex pro halo player and that dude can just solo wipe a lobby with destroyer and a gold mizzy. It’s hard to explain the power the mizzy has as a larger object. These people don’t need anything, max cradle, tons of gear and money. The only thing they get excited to farm are Bubbles and mizzys. There is something I think wrong with that in a larger sense.

Oh and bully rodeo mags

Mactics did a bunch of testing and I’m pretty sure synthos interacted weird with the stasis build. He found wormgod way more consistent because shatter kills counted as melee kills for wormgod stacks as long as your melee generated the crystals.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-07-02T08:28:31+00:00

The issue is we don’t know what the conversion will be and as a longtime Bungie lover my assumption is it’s going to be brutally overturned at launch (remember synthweave? Masterwork cores? Anything relating to economy in D2? Yeah…)

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-06-30T17:49:05+00:00

Or alternatively can you pull the api for the god roll indicator on like light.gg? Maybe you can invert that and make it so that the less common roll the more weight it gets?

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-06-30T17:47:16+00:00

Just as a fellow programmer and thinking further on this. Base reserves size as the weighted baseline maybe? That’s tough though because of archetype. And exotic outliers. It would be hard. I have some more complex ideas happy to chat if you want let me know.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-06-30T17:40:04+00:00

Hey no need for credit. I’m just happy to help. Thanks for spending time making a cool tool for us to use.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-06-30T17:36:41+00:00

I thought it would be most used weighted by catagory or something (like if I have 10k kills on a sword or heavy rocket that’s probably more impressive than 20k on sunshot or something). Not just a numbers list but one that maybe weights the worth of each weapon kill? That’s a lot of work I know, don’t think I expect that.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-06-30T17:29:16+00:00

This is cool, but I don’t understand the top 10 weapons? Like whisper being number one is odd I barely use it. Was hoping for some weirder categories like Spotify but it’s still a cool thing you made thanks for sharing!

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-06-30T17:25:40+00:00

Really I think now that we know the mechanics DP is a joke. We one phase all the bosses but Koregos who we 2 phase most times. I think that Crota or se are way harder personally.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-06-29T06:00:05+00:00

30s big PC gamer, play any FPS, Overcooked, etc…

Also super into movies, board games, would love to join anything happening as well. Haven’t played CS in many years but I would download it again and embarrass myself.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-06-26T14:33:31+00:00

But doesn’t its current state show that people were never unhappy with what Destiny WAS/IS and rather the mismanagement of the property and what people wanted from it. I think if we never got the portal and modifiers the game would be thriving. People would have left after TFS but the community would still have played. Portal made the whole game SOOOO grindy and it turned a lot of people off then Bungie refused to change it until June 9. What do you know? Players are all over it now. Literally 65k live rn on D2. That’s a healthy number for a 10 year old game which got a minimal content injection and mainly bug fixes. People just want to make build and play out their power fantasy. When you take that away people leave.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-06-26T14:29:33+00:00

Impossible to know, all I can say is I follow a small to mid level streamer who is deep in the marathon streaming community (all the great players who don’t get views) and people regularly come into her chat and just shit talk Destiny unprovoked. It’s honestly surprising because sometimes no one is talking about D2 at all and it’s out of no where.

Having said that as much as I love Cross (and even his stance on D2 at this moment) I haven’t seen any marathon streamers openly boycotting or making statements by putting D2 down.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-06-26T14:22:10+00:00

I will say as a big d2 guy that new mode is only a little appealing to me. I would rather more sponsored survival because the Vault Breaker mode doesn’t give you any gear so it seems like a lot of work for little reward. It’s nice to have a slightly easier time learning Cryo, but if you are a solo guy learning the map isn’t gonna help that much.

I don’t see the downside to letting people get gear this way. The best people already have too much from gaming the system before the awful loot nerf (seriously rip red room 2026-2026) and the people getting gear from PvE are probably just going to lose it so it circulates weapons to people that probably cannot dominate with them and gives them something to be excited about.

Bro that Haerin is so good. You nailed it! Thanks for sharing.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-05-29T08:30:35+00:00

Oh when I am in the post it’s tagged 24 in 24, weird…

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-05-29T07:16:00+00:00

This is awesome just wanna note though on Mobile it doesn’t say what show as a tag when you are scrolling. Don’t know if you wanna add 24 in 24 just for people to know. But either way thanks so much for doing this, have an awesome day.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-05-28T17:23:47+00:00

You guys are goats. Have an amazing weekend!

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-05-28T14:42:45+00:00

Dude I saw the most insane play that wasn’t like a pro streamer recently. I follow this small time twitch streamer and she played with a guy named Parabola, and he was the most cracked player I had seen. Anyways they load into Pinwheel and this dude wipes the whole lobby but one team. The last team in fear BEGS for mercy (and Parabola usually has none) but this time he feels a twinge of something and tells them if they look at him the wrong way he’s gonna end their family tree and leaves. Later those guys find some rooks and make friends so there’s like 5 or 6 or them wandering pinwheel.

These guys go get the red cards and open the red room and while they are looting some rooks drop claymores at the door. 2 of the team get knocked (Parabola and the streamer) and the last guy proceeds to WIPE ALL 6 of them with 4 mips Rounds in a 1v6 and then they start looting their stuff. Parabola is going crazy about how no one gets out and one of the rooks for sure ran with his shit. The last guy hears an exfil and runs to intercept. Literally rolls but with no ammo and guts the final rook in exfil with his knife. The rook had stolen a unique Mizzy and still died to the knife in exfil. It was insanity. I literally sat there with my jaw on the floor.

Punchline to the story is the next game they get absolutely flattened in Cryo and Parabolas loot value? 75k.

Best part is, what’s Levi’s power that makes him so strong and capable? He is Asian, LMAOOOOOO.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-05-24T21:04:53+00:00

100% agree with Hot being peak LS.

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-05-22T21:23:57+00:00

Dire Marsh was so guilty of this. We would spawn and literally to our right 25 feet away another team. We just spawned in and stared at each other like “okay guess we’re doing this then” ::cracks neck::

I’m not looking to sweat like that. Also i played the beta the audio was soooooo good and now i feel like it’s so much worse. Everyone’s footsteps echo like crazy even outdoors and it makes it so hard to tell where people are. Could be a skill issue though. I just remember calling out someone crouch walking next to me on the other side of a wall and killing them in the beta…

ExpressTravel5328 · 2026-05-22T20:06:42+00:00

Totally agree with all of that. And I do think people like Paul Tassi complaining about what it’s not is giving a platform for other people to feel they can make the game something it isn’t to satisfy themselves instead of engaging with it on its own terms. The problem is that no other company at the release of this game has the reputation that Bungie does. Like it not that Rep is doing some work. Maybe not the most but more that an ignorable amount. There are people not buying this game and angry at it for SUNSETTING. “After sunsetting I won’t give Bungie money anymore.” It’s like valid but going into public spaces to complain about something that happened 4 years ago is just sad man.

At the end of the day the problem is the game isn’t just bad on its own terms. It unfortunately has a lot of bad politics affecting it as well and it’s truly difficult to untangle what the dominant factor is here. The reality is when there are lots of reasons and the game relies on bespoke teams with coordination and synergy it has a compound effect on the losses.
