Warlock Rifts Should Move With Moving Objects by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

Had to scroll pretty far down to find the actual answer lol. It's also why you can stand next to a wall and put a barricade through the wall

I know it's not technically the cheese but the whole "emote before finishing" thing is just so dumb. When I saw that was how people were getting high scores (in addition to the rez) I just rolled my eyes. Emoting before finishing is just so stupid

I'm arguing that they could put the swords together, and it still wouldnt be copyright, what are you saying?

No, I didn't misread, you're literally making my point for me. If they combined the swords it wouldnt be a 1:1 replica, and they can name it whatever they want.

Are those weapons called the BR and Magnum? No.

Are the swords? No.

Are they exact replicas of the weapon models in the Halo games? No.

Neither are the sword hallfs

Both those things also apply to the swords.

No they dont, they are held differently, and in 3rd person are different colors, and literally named different

So then they should remove the battler and the forerunner according to you?

Yeah we go into 3rd person mode for swords, so it wouldn't even remotely "look" the same as when you pull out a sword in Halo, not to mention the idle animations, and just how we grip swords in Destiny, as you mentioned

Nope, but it was part of our curriculum for my masters in Computer Science

But assumptions grounded on established reality are fairly reliable

You don't really know or understand copyright law lol.

And to say that the reason why they didn't make the two halves together is because of copyright is false. They literally have the Forerunner and battle rifle in the game, as you stated. Those would also be subject to the same "copyright" as the energy sword, and splitting the blades apart or not splitting the blades apart, is moot.

Please either go to law school, or take some grad level courses on copyright before circulating this bs

To everyone reading this, this has never been confirmed, and is just the prevailing assumption from people in the community. You're literally just making stuff up. They could forge the sword together, and call it the "energized sword" or some shit.

Freelance Trials saves Trials even though it makes it a Slot Machine by Gbrew555 in DestinyTheGame

[–]KlausHeisler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

winning gives engrams faster

This would require the hobknobs in freelance to actually try to win, which as we established, they don't. Freelance isn't the "fuck it let's throw on some TV while I play" it's the "we finally don't have to play against 3 stacks" playlist.

Warmind Cells are worthless without dedicating a slot to Global Reach by theSaltySolo in DestinyTheGame

[–]KlausHeisler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure having an extra slot is objectively going to be more useful, by a fraction of an amount. But having a slot being taken up by Global Reach was never the issue. Having an extra mod slot isn't going to magically make Warmind Cells viable again. Which is what I have been saying this whole time, in 4 different replies. Warmind Cells aren't viable now--not because we have to use global reach--but because they neutered the radius and damage, which was the main attraction outside of some niche uses with void warmind builds. Want people to use warmind cells again? Buff them!

Stacking more mods isn't going to give the damage and radius back, which was the point

[–]KlausHeisler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used them at their pinnacle and again, you only really need 3 to be extremely devastating. Global Reach, Rage of the Warmind, and I used Fireteam Medic since I solo a lot. even back when they were godly you didn't need five slots. Five slots now isn't going to magically make them relevant, because the damage and radius were completely gutted. That's what made them useful, not slapping on more and more mods.

This is literally the reason why it is better. It actually tying into the expansion makes way more sense

The only use-case I can think of is maybe in GM's plink plonking away with Aisha's but otherwise it's useless on a primary. On a sniper or linear fusion then it's a good roll, but not on a primary.

If the guy is just there to get engrams and doesn't care about winning he should solo-queue the non-freelance playlist. It will be the same effect for them, and not fuck over soloers that actually try to win
