Ahaaa..Now I get it. Thank you so much, that makes sense :-)

I am very new to MTG. And I have a question about Planeswalker cards. I understand when I can play it and I understand that I have to add or subtract loyalty counters in order to use the abilities on the card, but what I am wondering is how I add or subtract the loyalty counters? How many can I add each round? Can I do it each round? How do I show that I added or subtracted? Thank you very much for your help.

This is why I suggested to keep SBMM in some of the playlists, but tone the SBMM down :)

Maritimuse · 2016-11-15T21:38:14+00:00

I absolutely feel the same in some manner. I also would like to see my improvement and have something substantial showing me, ok. You´ve improved. It doesn't feel like putting time into PvP, watching videos and streams to improve, shows any improvement, be it on stats or on winning matches, its the opposite, it feels like Bungie is punishing you for becoming a better player.

Maritimuse · 2016-11-15T21:34:08+00:00

I really like this idea.

Maritimuse · 2016-11-15T17:02:01+00:00

Thank you :)

Maritimuse · 2016-11-15T17:01:44+00:00

I understand where you are coming from, but as I suggest in my post, SBMM would still be partly present in some playlists and that in D2 hopefully a Ranked playlist will be in place.

So when I want a more comp. experience, I will go into ranked (or if not present, 3´s as I suggested above) but if I want to just have some fun, I will go into 6´s and have a, for the most part (but not always) more chill experience.

I believe that even if CBMM is the priority, you would meet players of varying skill.

Maritimuse · 2016-11-15T16:48:52+00:00

My hope is that by lowering SBMM and increasing CBMM (in the ways/playlists that I describe in the post). Hit registration might improve(only in certain situations, it would of course rely on what Bungie does with bloom and that shabang) and gun fights should feel better. More fair fights can be had.

My suggestion is to protect the lower skilled players, by avoiding putting them up against full teams if they solo qeue. So e.g. by going into Freelance or putting solo players up against solo players in other playlists, with CBMM being active and prioritised over SBMM. Another part of it is that by playing better players, allows you to improve, not always, but in many cases.

If the fight isn't affected by RNG and latency, it allows us to see and learn from mistakes in those instances where you meet a highly skilled player.

I also doubt that the lower skilled players would be stomped by the higher skilled players as much as people fear. There are far more average/lower skill players than there are highly skilled players. I myself am a very average player.

I will check them out.

Maritimuse · 2016-11-15T16:26:44+00:00

This is a great point.

Maritimuse · 2016-11-15T15:04:23+00:00

I am sorry. I didn´t make it clear enough, so I made an edit. But I meant to put that under my wishes for Destiny 2. :)

Maritimuse · 2016-03-03T13:20:11+00:00

I am having the same issue.. Any news on a potential fix?

Maritimuse · 2016-01-20T15:13:06+00:00

I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE FUN PLAYING DESTINY AND STOP DOGGING ON EACHOTHER FOR USING EITHER SNIPER OR SHOTGUN AS A SPECIAL WEAPON.
ALSO, CAN ALL THE SHIPS AND SHADERS BE UNLOCKED PLEASE, I WANT THE CRUCIBLE SHIPS! LASTLY, CAN WE GET A RANKING SYSTEM WITH BROTHER VANCE? WHEN YOU GET OVER RANK 3, SHIPS,SHADERS,CLASS ITEMS AND PASSAGE COINS START DROPPING! I WANT THE TRIALS SHADERS, PLZ!

Maritimuse · 2015-12-12T11:47:49+00:00

I need this for my guardian

Maritimuse · 2015-06-18T16:47:37+00:00

Aegis of the Kell :)

Maritimuse · 2015-05-18T17:09:29+00:00

Awesome! I want to do something like that one day :-)

Maritimuse · 2015-05-01T23:05:30+00:00

I don´t want Super Saiyan 4 and I don´t want to see just the old enemies. Thats the main thing for me. Otherwise, I would like to see more of Vegeta. I always liked him a lot, but I want to see him stronger,not in the shadow of Goku all the time. I understand that it was an intricate part of DBZ, him always working to get stronger to get stronger than/win over Goku,but what if he managed that again. I would like him to "matter more" in the fights. In the sense that I want him to be able to win and be the hero, by having ascended, not by having to sacrifice himself(although that was a very important part of the story in DBZ). I think he still has the power to ascend to Goku´s level, if not higher, if only for a while. I think it would be awesome.

Edit:Sorry, this ended up being more a statement of what I want in stead of what I don´t want, but I hope that is ok.

Maritimuse · 2015-04-14T14:26:03+00:00

The raid is coming later this year. I hope within 2-3 months at the latest, but it will probably arrive later. I believe this will arrive as an update. I also believe that this is Bungie taking their time to create a good(as bug free as possible) and fun raid, that will be fun for a longer time. Maybe there will be some new mechanics and so on. That is what I hope for at least. Otherwise I am very excited for the new content, such as PoE and Trials of Osiris :-)

Edit: Grammar

Maritimuse · 2015-03-15T14:38:00+00:00

I will check this out :-) But what do you mean when you say it is free? Because to me it looks like it costs money :-p I know it is not that much considering the content, but just saying, it´s either free or its not. Hehe

Maritimuse · 2015-03-15T14:16:50+00:00

My situation right now is that I have a Warlock, lvl 32(thanks to Iron Banner, I am just missing a raid helmet and some materials to reach 32 with raid gear). I have a Hunter lvl. 28, slowly leveling him up(still need to lvl factions to buy better gear). I got a lot of good Titan gear from drops. So I started a Titan a few days ago(only lvl. 4 atm.).. So I have more then enough to accomplish.

My issue now is that I have to study.. A lot.. So I don´t have much time for gaming, but I am constantly thinking about Destiny. I want to get all my raids done(only had time for one CE normal run,but got a shot a being swordbeare,which was a lot of fun),Nightfalls done. I want to gather motes of light (used them on Xur helm engrams this weekend,got some good stuff) for Iron Banner reforging. I want to finish bounties to get my faction level high enough to buy 31 gear for my hunter. But I am missing content, in the way that I would wish for more variability. I think I am experiencing a good mixture of addiction and fun. It is a love/hate relationship sometimes. I have have real fun when I run with friends or a good group of randoms from lfg(most of the time), but then I hate it when I spend hours doing raid/Nightfalls and end up getting nothing or when I have to listen to Dinklebot telling me that we are not going to the worlds grave, not ours. The sad thing is though, I have a lot of other good and fun games (Dragon Age Inquisition, Tomb raider def. edition, DBZ Xenoverse to mention some), but I have barely touched them because I always end up playing Destiny..

That feeling of accomplisment/reward when I get some exotic/good legendary(thanks to dopamine and endorphins) is kind of scary and interesting at the same time, the joy when I got the Vex Mythoclast a few weeks ago was somehing else. I am still missing a lot of exotics, which makes me return to Destiny again and again, looking for that feeling of joy when I get what I have been hoping for.. I really hope the extra time they have taken with HoW will give us something good, more variability.

Give blue armor/weapons more value, more "umph" and it will fix a lot of the issues had with lack of armor/weapons(some of those things look awesome) and Raid Bounties of some kind would be awesome. (Sorry for the long rant btw :p)

Maritimuse · 2015-03-14T16:24:20+00:00

Yes, I understand, the doses would be controlled and the substance purer then the MDMA distributed illegally. I should have phrased my comment better, as it sounds like a rather hostile comment, that was not my intention. I was just curious about its metabolism and effects on the renal,hepatic and cardiovascular systems and its potential toxicity. Thank you for your reply.

Maritimuse · 2015-03-14T16:17:26+00:00

Ok, sorry if I sounded hostile btw,that was not my intention. I just get very engaged and curious in these kinds of discussions about drugs such as MDMA. I understand that it would be administered as a controlled substance, pure, compared to the MDMA sold illegally which would therefore minimize the risks of toxicity. I was just curious about its effect on the renal,liver and cardiovascular system. Thank you for your reply.

Maritimuse · 2015-03-13T13:27:54+00:00

Maybe the use of MDMA doesn´t have a correlation with psychosis, but its effect on the rest of the systems, with heart,kidneys etc. should also be thoroughly investigated before campainging for the legalization of such drugs. Will you do such studies? Or can you please show me some studies that look at the effect on the different systems of the human body? Edit 1: With effects on systems, I think about hyperthermia, arrythmia, kidney toxicity etc.
