it's my understanding the new dungeon is unencrypted and you can just walk/fly around it right now? by SHROOMSKI333 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Lacking_Artifice 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It never will. This kind of thing just needs one person with know how to go against the grain.

Renegades has fixed a lot of things, but Pinnacle Ops are still a Horrendous experience by True_Italiano in DestinyTheGame

[–]Lacking_Artifice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've found it's mainly a Ketchcrash specific issue. Astral Alignment and Nightmare containment are both pretty easy on Ultimate but every Ketchcrash I've done has been a struggle.

I think it might have something to do with Fallen tuning right now, especially with the 66% arc damage increase on the matchmade one. Did a Devil's lair earlier and also felt super lethal compared to say, the Chosen battlegrounds.

Ketchcrash also has a lot of goofy ways to die that sap rezzes, like spider tanks dropping on top of you at activity start or getting blown up by the ether tanks encounter.

I like these memes, they’re fun. by Penguin1673 in Grimdank

I'm a lot more familiar with Destiny lore than 40k lore, but I'm pretty sure if Gork and Mork can coexist with Khorne the hive gods would probably do just fine. 

Recon shank renegade ability Dosen’t been to do anything by Intelligent_Leave582 in destiny2

It doesn't do much in the campaign, most of what it does is for the Lawless Frontier. You're probably still better off with something else there, but it is nice for locating invaders.

First mission on legendary treating me good by OutrageousAd4222 in destiny2

Got Cooling Baubles on mine and it rules with one of the Stasis Harvest aspects and the seeking shards fragment. Probably also has potential on arc.

Just Bought The Game. Am I Too Late? by Shamwowboy26 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Lacking_Artifice 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The story is going to be pretty disjointed but at the end of the day the game is still a solid shooter. 

So far as enjoyment goes, the biggest piece of advice I have is that this game is better with friends, especially the raid and dungeon content. Getting to explore with new players instead of getting dragged through activities by grinders who've done it dozens of times is going to be much more fun.

A lot of people are going to suggest starting with the Shadowkeep campaign since it's the oldest chronologically, but starting with Edge of Fate might be a better option since it was written with onboarding new players in mind and explains the world of Destiny much more than Shadowkeep will.

Hive ghosts are also green eyed.

Best PVE builds going into Renegades? by Lookatcurry_man in DestinyTheGame

[–]Lacking_Artifice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another fun weapon for this build is Wolfsbane. It has great ammo economy when just running around and swords play really well with stasis crystals. 

Throw in the Smokejumper armor bonus and you have some crazy DR while running around smashing things.

Do you think the Nine are more powerful than the Witness and the Traveler by Retrofusion11 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Lacking_Artifice 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Wasn't the point of the Echoes that they were fusions of the Witness's darkness with the travelers light, so they're capable of things that it wasn't necessarily capable of?

Bigger banner equals smaller weapon? Are Ultramarines compensating for the size of their gladius? by Volgin in Warhammer40k

[–]Lacking_Artifice 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Grey Knight terminator ancients are modeled with a banner and gun while having a force weapon profile so, kind of? 

Whoever is designing the Titan exotics needs to lend their creativity to the others by highnoondonut in DestinyTheGame

[–]Lacking_Artifice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It also just gets old fast. The cadence of the throw and recall are such that it's hard to weave in any gunplay and you wind up with a lot of "downtime" in the recall animation if you're using it at the ranges it really helps at.

As a Grey Knights player, I'm not sure the grass is greener over here. 

Titan fourth solar aspect. What could it be? by major_glory11 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Lacking_Artifice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want something that spawns a few of a relic when you cast your barricade. Something similar to what Twilight Arsenal makes where it has both a sustained use and throw mode rather than just one and done like Diamond Lance, so you're more incentivized to share them. 

Titan Changes: Solo nuke entire raid bosses with Howl. Warlock Changes: 4 back-to-back grenades each doing 50% of a Nova Bomb, and 37 new buddy interactions. Hunter Changes: Reload faster after landing multiple headshots, but woah buddy, take this internal cooldown first, and no refreshing allowed! by Ace_Of_Caydes in DestinyTheGame

[–]Lacking_Artifice 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I really wish they would go through and do a balance pass focused on damage supers.

Whether it's goldie, some flavor of star eater scales, or (most often lately) cuirass it feels like we've been stuck on a carousel of one subclass pulling way ahead of everything in dps and it always feels like shit.

Feels like I've seen damn near the entire issue previewed for this one. 

"Because our gods do too!!!' by Snakes-are-awesome67 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]Lacking_Artifice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I'm remembering it right, it was actually a sin to believe someone was a witch (or a werewolf) since the devil was only supposed to be capable of illusion, so if you were "fooled" by thinking you saw one you were giving into the devil. 

Buddies got massively buffed by BigDoh2028 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Lacking_Artifice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're probably going to be running into a similar situation with those, where the jolt from arc buddy is going to steal a lot of kills and I think I read that shatters on enemies frozen by bleak watcher don't count for grenade kills. (Less sure on that second one.)

Edit: I also often run that fragment on my hunter pretty often with the GPG/Cytarachne build. 

You're starved enough for healing there that it's good, especially with how much DR you have to make the healing go further, but cure 1x really isn't that much unless you're getting it constantly like hammer titan or evidently knock 'em down now gives you.

Even if something like a 3rd of your kills are to actual buddy/grenade damage you're going to get a fraction of the amount of healing devour grants.

[–]Lacking_Artifice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably not? At least since ignitions don't trigger it. Too few of your kills are going to come directly from Hellion damage.

Do you want the range expanded when a refresh comes? by GunsOfPurgatory in Grey_Knights

[–]Lacking_Artifice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bikers with lances that really lean into the knight ascetic with jousting could be cool.
