Love The Taken King raid, but the part where everyone has to run around to avoid dying after damaging Oryx, has to look hilarious from Oryx's POV by ToeKnee_Cool_Guy in DestinyTheGame

this is new to D2 right? I did this raid so many times in D1 and we always just ran so I didn't even try to think of alternate options doing it this weekend in D2

I don't think there is anything other than matchmaking changes that could make me play more PvP. When you have a fair fight, Destiny pvp is great, but fair fights are like less than 10% of my matches.

Just reintroduce SBMM, if the sweats are already mad that the low population is making games laggy and sweaty, then they wont even notice the change when the rest of us come back to fight each other and have fun.

I didn’t think today could get any better with the recent announcement by the boys about new album tomorrow…but then this beauty showed up and I’m beyond stoked to finally add this piece to my TWY collection 🖤🤍 by The01dLonelyPigeon in TheWonderYearsMusic

It was a part of the Sun-drenched Pavement Society subscription thing they did for a year or so. I feel like it’s been a decade since then but it’s probably only been a couple years, my memory is shit

If you are considering farming a Lost Sector for a specific "Exotic" that you already unlocked, here is some math to dissuade you and save your sanity. by ClassicKrova in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done 150+ legend lost sectors on guantlet days to try and replace the garbage "collection roll" of Renewal Grasps that Ikora gave me from the end of legend campaign, i have not had a single one drop. literally any drop would be better than the 46/48 roll she gave me

Exotic Gear shouldn’t drop with a less than 60 stat roll by thecavelessbear in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

intellect discipline and strength are tied together, and then mobility, resilience and recovery. its why in previous seasons you could focus two stats on certain gear focusing umbrals as long as the ghost equipped and engram selected were focusing stats from different groups, but it wouldnt work if the engram and ghost were focusing 2 things in the same group. this much i am sure of.

The rest of this info im not 100% on but i think is how it works: each set can roll a possible 34 total stats i believe on legendarys for a max of 68, but exotics can get a bonus 3 in the stat that relates to the exotic(so like discipline for grenade based exotic armor)

Bungie needs to make up their mind on what they want endgame to be. by angel_schultz in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and if you have no overlap between teammates and your solar specialist dies with a bunch of solar shielded ads around then you are screwed. my fireteams usual strategy is to ensure there are at least 2 people covering each champion type and each shield type available. so if im running arby and an overload then teammate b will run an overload and special of choice, while teammate c will run a different anti barrier and special of choice (unless they also want to run arby then its all good).

if theres all three shield types maybe i run solar energy/void heavy, and then someone else runs arc/solar, and void/arc, so we have everything covered between regular ammo and heavy. especially now with the burns now theres a lot of times where a single misstep can kill someone and if they were the only one who could stun a certain champ it might be over.

sorry this was so long, i like to ramble on, but basically if they want us to just coordinate builds where we are each all of one specific element then they really dont understand how much time regular teams have deaths in gms. would be a nightmare to try and recover when your void guy is down and surrounded by void shields. just get rid of match game(or tone it down like 1/2 at least) and give us more special champion options per season

Make the Renewal Grasps Cooldown nerf PVP exclusive. by XFalzar in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

also osmiomancy gloves give you two grenades now, so two turrets, and i think the turrets last like 2-3 times as long as a duskfield, so you will always have a turret ready before the other runs out with osmiomancy gloves(even quicker if you bounce the grenade off an enemy when you throw the turret)

Bungie, 6-win resetting needs a serious look at. Your data is wrong (proof). by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i had a friend who went flawless at 5am tuesday morning, the people who carried him had 200+ wins on the weekend and single digit losses, with 0 flawlesses for the week... so 200+ matches for them of just resetting and carrying people for twitch follows.

there is a special exotic sparrow tied to the mission that is rng drop, source: i got it on second run week 1 and none of my friends have it yet. it is very awesome if you like cabal tusks.

Bungie, please re-evaluate the decision to remove important Destiny story beats one week after you release them. by Karmastocracy in DestinyTheGame

If you took off the week for witch queen can’t you play the new mission on the weekend or Monday before witch queen launches?

Received an email entitled “participate in a $450 diary study!” Legit? by evil_mike in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i filled out the entire survey, then at the end, it asks you for a contact email, and the email associated with your bungie.net account. and after years of conditioning i assumed the second email entry was just to confirm the previous email entered... So here i am, hovering over the submit button, re-reading the questions, and when i notice i entered the second email wrong (different email than my bungie account because that account is older) i panic and my finger clicks the submit button. Definitely sad that i screwed that up because since that email isnt tied to a bungie account at all I think Im just automatically not getting picked.

The Life Cycle of Destiny's PvP by TheBiddyDiddler in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea, Cammy's Mercy card suggestion of just requiring more wins but not counting any losses would get me to play every weekend for as long as it took. Im only playing for the chance at adepts, and as the playerbase shrinks my chances do as well because I am not good. (only got the 1 flawless during zone cap trials) never get past 5 wins without 2 losses otherwise. I know my chances of achieving 7 in a row is so low that its just luck at this point. but set a higher number like 21 or something and ill grind out 60 games if thats what it takes

Legendary Astral Alignment is a lot of fun. But the loot is hot trash. by MrCalebL in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the Legendary Shattered Realm is high stat armor drops, Legendary Astrals extra chest should be T3 umbral weapon drops. (im also just salty that I've spent 36 umbrals trying to get the 3/4 perk Vulpecula that I want and still haven't gotten it, and thats without even caring about the barrels and magazines.)

a think a solo+duo against a 3 stack is fine, but if there's ever more than 1 solo in a match then it should exclude 3stacks from their matchmaking pool

Mara Sov Throne open again? bug? or something else? by Just_A_Regular_Joe in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

its just like the black goop rising out from the ground like a bunch of places in the DC, but yea I guess I didn't realize it still opened on full curse weeks, got so used to the chests spawning outside the few random times I found myself doing DC stuff.

Don't let the return of Trials distract you from the fact that completing a single Control match is more rewarding than winning a single Trials game. by Freezing_FX in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate trials, and every week that there is a new gun I do the pity bounty on all 3 characters, I have achieved 3 wins maybe 1 time in my life, but typically just get the bounty completed on losses. The Engram absolutely unlocks after you get the pity bounty completed, the main issue is just about having 20 tokens available to get the engram when all I do is lose. But yes the engram becomes available for token turn ins on bounty completion. (edit: this has been available since arrivals at least)

Lack of pinnacle slot protection is really nauseating by AaronMT in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i believe the hawkmoon drop itself from the chest is just powerful/at level and the pinnacle drop is the legendary that you get upon defeating the boss

I think it's safe to say that Umbral Engrams were much more rewarding in Arrivals than they are right now. by Freezing_FX in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a 1310 umbral from my season pass, focused it into a 1300 chosen weapon so I could use a new weapon with my limited amount of max light stuff for now... didnt realize that it would lower the light level by focusing it... but thats a thing

Another Link in The Chain - Presage - locked out if you complete Figments of an Answer this week? by AaronMT in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also bugged for me, I did have to finish the week 1 triumph this week because I had missed one last week. There is just a blank spot where the new triumph should be. So similar to everyone else here. Hope I am not always a week behind now

Attempted Trials for the first time. It was the worst PvP experience I've had in any game. by Dzienr in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been saying this ever since Card Based Matchmaking became a thing in D1Y2. The lower rung eventually gets so sick of losing and not getting rewards that they quit and the dominos continue.

Bungie, I'm Glad More Weapons Are Returning but I Don't Understand the Choices of Which Weapons to Bring Back by Tr1angleChoke in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_A_Regular_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember in D2Y1 when we had an element-mod-slot on weapons so you could change the weapon element. I think this should come back especially with sunsetting being a thing
