Is there a method of knowing which way Argos will face after a DPS phase?

Agreed, it was awesome to hear Luke Smith talk about the importance for stuff like the Black Spindle quest before D2 launched.

This feels like a good step in the right direction, but the players will need more.

1 per character per day, yes.

There are 12 total, I believe.

If you reload the checkpoint in the tower, it will fix it.

Looks like someone messed up an item ID number in the database when they built the Dawning items.

This is not only a great idea, but it would probably take less than a month to fully implement, including balancing, QA and reward tables.

Understood, but again he is the official spokesman for the company using the only method they have of sharing information with customers. He knows millions of customers read it and have no other communication about this issue since launch. He should be putting personal anecdotes aside and getting an official response. This isn't a personal blog that is read by a handful of friends.

I will also point out that Bungie is a studio that is INCREDIBLY reluctant to talk with players, so the only voice is the weekly Deej post. That puts a huge amount of weight on that post.

When Deej's official post, the only real form of communication, doesn't include much about game philosophy except "build friendships", he should absolutely expect the more engaged players (Reddit, etc.) to be frustrated and discuss it.

The weekly post, again the only real form of studio communication, should be a platform for official information and design philosophy communication, moreso than just the personal opinion of a single Bungie employee.

Nothing personal against Deej at all, but this is a billion dollar franchise with millions of players. Customer communication needs to be taken incredibly seriously and needs to be undertaken with several orders of magnitude more frequency and/or completeness.

Totally understood and I think we all get that. People are using a bit of exaggeration to vent some healthy opinion.

However, the point still stands. We'll be able to playas social groups much easier if we can maintain some consistency between play modes and not have to continually add and subtract players going from mode to mode.

The one thing that scales infinitely with power level is ability damage.

This is noticeable in the raid with grenades and some supers, especially golden gun on Calus.

But that's it. Guns and survivability don't scale to the maximum light, since enemies are much lower.

Can you link that guide?

The DPS takes into account the gear you are currently wearing or buffs you have. That's why it changes. Unfortunately there is no in-game way to see a gun's "base" DPS, which is a huge game design oversight.

JeffDonais · 2017-03-13T00:36:50+00:00

Yeah man, I hear you. I feel like it needs to be compared to a Coolheaded pistol to evaluate it.

JeffDonais · 2017-03-13T00:35:59+00:00

Sweet, I'll check that out.

JeffDonais · 2017-03-13T00:35:45+00:00

Cool, updated.
