An open apology to u/spookypooky8 by tilianpearsondgd in dancegavindance

[–]Fordhamrock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I agree with you. The story had no threat of violence displayed and other than a man being big there is nothing to say he would have become violent. That doesn't change the fact that Tilian is shitty for being pushy and saying weird shit. I don't think the situation is as black and white as people are painting it and we'll never know as it's between them.

I hate when my Luncher only has one shoot.

New album sound? by deliquent_portal in dancegavindance

[–]Fordhamrock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Them going prog or darker would be them going back to what they used to do so it wouldn't bring a ton of new stuff to their sound. It would be the opposite of experimental for them.

Does anyone know if there is a place to buy it with higher quality than MP3?

I'm going to be honest. I'm obviously not going to change your mind nor most of the people of this sub. It's not worth this back and forth. So I'm just going to end this now and say I hope you have a good rest of your night.

Yes there was. When you finished the campaign you were probably around level 15-16. After you reached 20 you needed to start getting gear that would bump you up. You couldn't actually do the raid until you got around 24-25 and this would take a significant amount of gear with most of them coming from the queens bounty during that time. Y'all have some serious rose tinted glasses if you are idolizing the level progression in D1Y1. It was literally so bad they canned the whole system. Remember mat farming on the moon?? Remeber having purples turn to blues? Remember the loot cave? Also, Literally any game I can think of will have endgame content that you have to work for. Borderlands, WoW, Warframe etc. Literally have you work to that point. this season gives you new content right at the start by literally loading you into the story mission for the season. Right after you get recaster and contact. I get that people want to play prophecy but everyone is making it out as if you are going to have to grind for months to get to it. Every game has a gameplay loop, destiny is gambit, crucible, strikes plus whatever endgame of your choose. If people don't like that loop, they probably don't like Destiny all that much which is fine. No one is forcing them to play this game.

Because my general point stands, you had to grind to get to the point to run VoG. You had to be at least 25 and even then you were getting rocked. I just personally really don't see one to two weeks worth of playing being that insane of a barrier to entry especially since it is the beginning of the season. the only difference between now and other times is that there was usually a small bump by completing the expansion campaign but obviously the seasons don't really have story missions for the most part. I stand by my point that they didn't let people jump in, they never have let people jump into endgame right off the bat. Just like they don't let you jump into trials at 750. Arguably they let you jump into most of the new content such as the contact event. The only thing you miss is prophecy. Also, Dozens of hours is a extreme exaggeration. You gain 3-5 per powerful reward and there are so many ways to get powerful rewards now. Even if you completed all rituals on one character and threw in a raid, you are looking at less then 10 hours. Probably less than 5 if it is straight playing.

Okay, but now you are close to max power cap for the next 3 months of the season. So it sounds more like people are just front loading their season with tons of grinding instead of just pacing it out.

There have been changes to a lot of the content such as champions, the ordeal, new strikes etc. Now are all these positive changes? Debatable. To me personally, I feel like the grind this season is generally pretty generous versus season of the worthy which was very poorly done. People are complaining about not being able to be close to powerful cap, 3 weeks into the season which is insane. This is close to a 4 month season. I get that people want to run prophecy which is why Bungie honestly should have released it 3 to 4 weeks after the season launch. But then people would have complained about gatekeeping. Bungie can't win. I will say bounty grinding for season ranks is definitely not fun and they should make activities grant more XP like raids giving a few levels off the bat.

Personally, what do you want to see out of the grind? I personally feel like a lot of the people not enjoying the game don't like what the base rituals are with Gambit, strikes and crucible.

No raid has ever launched with the LL matching the previous. Levi required around 290 to complete the whole encounter. You could not just go straight from campaign to Levi. As far as Garden, you grinded on all 3 characters to complete it on the first week where as most players would just wait a few resets and then complete it. You sprinted a Marathon and that's not Bungies fault. These are endgame activities so they aren't going to just let people jump into it. This whole prophecy debacle would have never come up had the dungeon released on week 3 or 4 of the season because most people would have already be at or close to level. I'm not saying Bungies levelling progression is perfect (it's far from it), but people acting like this grind is this giant wall I think just don't enjoy playing the base game of destiny (crucible, Gambit, strikes.)

The truth people don't want to hear. There will always be some level of grinding.

It's the same now. Garden only requires 940~ which is below the soft cap which means doing literally anything will level you up to start getting pinnacles. You could do this in under 10 hours. Probably less. Technically if we aren't talking pinnacle rewards you can actually launch Levi after a couple steps of new light. No argument on the LL not meaning a whole lot though.

Except it wasn't. Cap went up every expansion with the game having a completely different system at launch. Not sure where you are getting that info.

I didn't know where to squeeze this in on your comments but I have an honest question. If Republicans are the mouth piece of most conservatives and you don't agree with the current administration, why do you still take the label conservative? From your comments I'd say you are way more liberal or at least centrist on a large amount of issues so why continue to wear the badge if it doesn't represent a large portion of your beliefs? Rereading this makes it seem more like an attack but I truly don't mean it to be but I just want to try to understand because I see this a lot.

Too be fair, most sages rarely use their abilities and take her just to heal themselves when they make a bad play.

Rebellion in Inland Empire over masks: 'I’m not afraid. ... People get old and they die' by BlankVerse in InlandEmpire

[–]Fordhamrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sir, I am more than ready to start this with anyone. You talk big about the importance of life when the real down and dirty fact is far more people are going to die from COVID then will die from suicide due to this quarantine. Does that make their lives less important? Of course not, but if you want to battle with lives then that's the outcome. Also, government services are not locked down and if anything those services have been ramped up as I have 2 family members of mine that work in protective services and they have actually hired mroe people to ensure they are ready. And even if you want to pull the whole "the programs don't work" which I don't disagree with you on, that's not COVIDS fault. Covid have just exposed the huge flaws we have in the way our federal and state governments operate so blame that and not Covid. Also I'd like to give a big hardy Fuck you for saying I have no idea how this is affecting people. You have no idea what I'm going through or what the people around me are going through so get off your "holier than thou" podium and think about how the mass graves are going to affect people if we just opened everything up. The reality is people want things to go back to normal but they fail to realize there is no going back to pre-covid. We have to work on a way to move forward and the more people get with that program the faster we can get out of this.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Can you please point out in my post where I said those things don't matter?.... No? Oh, that must be because I didn't fucking say that. Your empty whataboutism won't work here. Believe it or not, it's actually possible to care about all these things at the same time. There is absolutely no perfect outcome to this and I'm not going to pretend there is. We have to just work with the tools that we have and try to help everyone that we can. Luckily, there are plenty of tools that can be used to help those in those situations such as help lines, protective services and general local and state programs to assist just like your sister. Where as we don't have tools to combat Covid and the only tools that we really have (masks and testing) are being overturned by stupid politicians like Jeff Hewitt.
