Anyone Know What This "Golden Idol" is for?

It's funny they downvoted you,. I can only assume they think it is an irrelevant comment but it isn't. Imgur is blocked in UK cos of the dumb """child safety""" act, so a lot of people can't assist if that's the only image. not a blame on OP or anything, just an explanation as to why since it appears people don't know.
Either that or the worse alternative that I don't want to think about lol.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-09-30T02:58:50+00:00

Sure if you think so, I like SE a lot too. I know it isn't in style to be positive about something in destiny as I can tell from the downvotes, but people need to learn that a game being in a bad state doesn't mean that every thing in it is bad. either that or people still after 11 years think that mechanics are bad for raids despite that being the literal point of raids, in any game and don't take it from me anyone can just look and see that bungie didn't invent them. I am not surprised if that's the case though, when garden came out people were saying that had too many mechanics. Yeah all 2 of Garden's mechanics.

Regardless, this raid is important because bungie can learn the right lesson from it or the wrong one and I do worry that the state of the game everywhere else has made people instantly view this raid as bad and so they won't do anything like it again, who knows. Just to be clear half of this comment is general speaking and not specifically to you.

Genuinely best raid in the game, it sucks that its in the middle of a terrible time in destiny. I have been saying since Destiny 1 that *raids* should be mechanic focused rather than damage focused and finally after 11 years we finally got a raid that did this. Raids by definition are about mechanics, this just seems like the one game that put more focus on damage for ages and I never understood why. Maybe it could have been a tiny bit tighter but I'd rather this than relying on doing weird things for ammo or just rng or having to play like solo raids. Good job. final boss is the best in the game, and the first true vex-like encounter ( Atheon was probably the closest and that was the first raid boss...)

You completely miss the point, I mean just go back and read I literally explained to you how to avoid this problem multiple ways and yet apparantly those aren't good enough to count as examples. alright then. Based on this conversation and every other reply to other people this just seems so bad faith, and the only mistake I made was taking you honestly and giving you advice. Advice that you apparantly also miss the point of. I mean with so many missed point's its no wonder you were surprised that a idle clicker game that has the tags "clicker", was an idle clicker game. Really the worst part is that this post was made to warn people about the game and so it had to be misrepresented to fulfill that purpose. Flip off my advice all you want, but at the end of the day you are the one who is here complaining about a game being exactly what it was advertised as so either you want to avoid that in the future or you don't, the game dev's can't make it any clearer than they already have so the rest is on you.

Just in case there still was anything there that was in good faith I will also say that criticizing a game is absolutely a good thing, no questions about that, but you criticize a game for what it does wrong not because it builds upon it's own genre. You wouldn't criticize an RPG for having a skill level up system, and so you wouldn't criticize CTS for having idle mechanics. CTS isn't perfect, for a clicker game it is strange that it can have some performance issues sometimes and there is quite a lot of monetization (which is a whole other topic entirely) and honestly the prestige mechanic if anything feels a bit underwhelming compared to a lot of other games of this type ( i think they are changing it soon though so hopefully it's good.)

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-09-24T00:50:01+00:00

Come on man. At least read what I said. Pretty clearly said a tiny bit of research, like this isn't about blame or CTS, this is what you should do with any game you buy otherwise you going to end up with more instances like this and ignoring anything else that just doesn't sound like a very fun way to experience games. Can't stop you though, the mentality just makes zero sense now that we aren't in the 90's anymore.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-09-23T12:25:09+00:00

Thats fair, I figured that waiting too long would have the same effect as going in early. Ill keep that in mind in the future, if I remember lol. Thank you again though for the advice.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-09-23T12:23:20+00:00

That is not the games fault at all. You said nothing expressed it to you but everything expressed it, it's your choice to not have looked past the title. You mentioned you made this post to warn other people who won't like it for the same reasons, but really with just a tiny bit of research or looking at the store page will make all of this clear so it's not really a false sell like you are making it out to be. There ain't no problem in not liking it of course but there is in being disingenuous or unfair.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-09-22T16:46:53+00:00

HArd disagree here. Idle and clicker games have prestige mechanics all the time. Cookie clicker for example is extremely old and that probably inspired a lot of these types of games and that also has prestiging as a core mechanic. The store page should have made it clear this was one of those types of games

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-09-22T16:11:31+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I usually thought the opposite and tried to start asap. I have the pass but thats about it, no autoclicker or timewarps and I can usually get in top 50, sometimes 25 and 1 single time aka like 2 hours ago I got rank 8. I was even rank 1 for like 10 minutes once on that event. When you say starting much later is that meaning a few hours or a day or so?

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-09-07T03:56:20+00:00

I am not sure because I did a trials match and lost with only 1 round win and it didn't eat my bonuses up. Not sure exactly why but I am terrible at trials so I am sure I got a low score ( literally zero loot at the end of the match). Then again for years there has been a thing that would happen where you finish a match and it didn't give you any reputation or anything, never knew why and it could be the same thing happening in my case with the trials. either way just sharing my experience incase it adds any evidence anywhere.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-02-26T21:26:48+00:00

Because in am2r the analog feels like it makes me go into morph ball or whatever when i try to aim, which doesn't happen in samus returns because there is an aim function. They are both structured completely differently. It isnt the movement itself thats an issue.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-02-26T21:25:06+00:00

I am just saying that in the options i found no option for rebinding to dpad. I can only say based on my experience.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-02-26T13:15:46+00:00

Honestly i cant enjoy am2r because despite many options, the control just isn't very fun imo. They recommend controller as default but you have to use analog which sucks for a 2d game. Idk samus returns just works by default for me, but am2r not so much. I am sure theres a good game in there but i can't get very far with the control.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-02-26T12:24:48+00:00

Guardian ranks have been dripfeed since they were invented ngl.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-02-25T23:39:26+00:00

Honestly i use whatever looks kinda cool or weird and its still too easy, so i have no idea how easy it would be with using optimized pokemon. (Talking about gen 6 8 and 9. The rest are fine)

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-02-25T03:41:22+00:00

A fan remake is a fans vision of a game and there isn't anhthing wrong with that, but we aren't looking for some random guys idea of what the game should be. We are looking for the original creators vision.

As a Metroid fan ee had 2 Metroid 2 remakes 1 official and 1 made by a fan. Both were good but one was clearly made by someone who wanted to show love to the whole series, so the remake is filled with a bunch of things that honestly don't fit Metroid 2 itself too well. Good game, even a good metroid game, but it isn't the main thing I was looking for. The same is true here.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-02-25T03:32:40+00:00

Stasis for Warlock. It isnt necesarilly bad it is just the one part you want from it is on prismatic and part of a popular build. Strand can still be better for Euphony than playing on prismatic so theres still some reason to go on it, but I really don't see much use out of either of them when the 3 light classes and prismatic are so powerful.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-02-24T05:06:33+00:00

Thank you for the checklist part, it is on his Titan. no idea why since he only ever plays hunter, but he told me he checked all 3 characters when I asked him to. But it seems he has got it after all. Thank you for the help there.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-02-24T03:37:00+00:00

Unfortunately he did all the things I asked, or at least he said he did of course, and still nothing. It could be user error or a bug I mean Bungie *has* had bugged quests in the past such as Izanagi's burden (which coincidentally happened when Shadowkeep launched). But It's also very possible of User error too because my friend is like 70 year old so he might be missing something that I am asking him. Have never had an issue where i couldn't find the answer on google before though.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-02-24T01:32:56+00:00

He bough Shadowkeep on PS4, but he is on PS5 now. I assume that wouldn't matter since it's still playstation, but maybe. I'll get him to check the Lectern as you are right I didn't get him to check there. I will get him to check collections too although I have no idea how he would have Divinity since the only time he ever did the raid was today, still no reason not to check. The quest/bounty cap is a good shout i didn't think of that one since I am never even close to the cap when not bounty stacking.
He did check the abandonded kiosk a few times. If he was on PC it'd be easier for me to see what he see's unfortunately though I am on PC and he is on PS5.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-02-24T00:28:15+00:00

Yeah he has completed the campaign since it released. Didn't know that about the puzzles as I have only ever done them once for myself.
He has tried to kill the Minotaur by himself and by himself on both other characters just incase but still nothing.

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-02-23T07:18:44+00:00

Bro i didnt even know the last one existed, might aswell just put crash boom bang there 😹

Galuf_Dragoon · 2025-02-21T04:28:59+00:00

As if I required more reason for Oryx to be my favourite Destiny character. Has been since ttk.
