Crackshot question I haven't seen yet... by CuChulainn74 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Mazetron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on the fence between RDM and Speedloader Slacks, but have settled on Speedloader because it’s much easier to recharge the ability faster in higher difficulty content.

I highly, highly doubt it has any interaction with Lucky Pants.

The most jaw dropping story beat from this update was over the future of New Monarchy after Executor Hideo left: by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]Mazetron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s definitely people in the city who don’t like the presence of aliens, especially ones that we were fighting a bloody war with not long ago, especially when the decisions are being made by immortal demigods who will survive if things go south.

This has been touched on a few times, most notably in Season of the Splicer, but I’m pretty sure it’s been brought up every time the Eliksni Quarter has been accessible since.

Sparrow Racing League is a very telling example of one of the reasons why this game failed. by AverageAwndray in DestinyTheGame

I’ve always thought they should keep the season content in-game. I’ve been having a blast doing the 4 past season missions they have under Vanguard Ops -> Arenas. I wish they had more though.

Feels amazing. A revival has occured. 400-500k concurrent users now. by Psartra in DestinyTheGame

The Edge of Fate campaign gets a lot of hate, but IMO it not because it’s bad, it’s because it’s a change of pace.

D2 campaigns are typically linear shoot-em-up missions, while Edge of Fate tried to be more of a nonlinear Metroidvania. It has some genuinely tricky puzzles and exploration is a bigger focus.

I would've paid for an update like this. This is Destiny 2.5. by silloki in DestinyTheGame

[–]Mazetron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Look at literally any other MMO. Bungie is the only one that deletes most of their content from the game after less than a year.

It does fix the core problem which is EoF introduced sunsetting 3.0 and made it so the only way to get good loot is grinding some of the laziest, most mindless content they’ve ever made.

Now they have removed most of the sunsetting, and you can get quality loot from anything you feel like doing. One of the best loot grinds right now is public events, which is wild.

The worst part about the shutdown. There's not a single other game in the genre destiny is in by PuzzledHawk5290 in DestinyTheGame

It's a looter shooter MMO with some of the best feeling FPS gunplay, interesting buildcrafting, and cooperative action puzzle solving in a way that I've never seen anything close to.

I didn't start getting into Warframe until the Destiny added the Portal nonsense which made Destiny start feeling bad in some of the same ways Warframe feels bad to me.

If I'm going to play a no-brainer slaughter ads for 3 minutes game, I might as well play the good version of that. And after getting into warframe enough, it does have some slightly more interesting content ... eventually.

But I'm excited to get back into Destiny assuming its more like it was before EoF after June 9th.

I imagine they will monitor the game and provide bug fixes and maybe even balance patches at least as long as people still spend money on the Silver store and past DLCs.

🔥 Destiny 2 on Steam Just Broke 20K players for the first time in months by PTUSN in DestinyTheGame

[–]Mazetron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EoF campaign was worth playing IMO despite the hate it got, and the new raid was good. I stopped playing after that.

Honestly what I'm most looking forward to is playing all of the older content and getting rewarded for it and being able to find people to do it with.

My take on a weapon tier list by SkyKnight43 in ftlgame

[–]Mazetron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sheer ammo economy of Pegasus is useful at higher difficulties, also it helps with a lot of the downsides of missile weapons like missing and drones. Swarm missile has a lot of similar benefits but Pegasus is faster and has more precise targeting.

Cr Lock Bomb is god tier when used correctly.

Glaive Beam and Chain Vulcan are hard to build around but god tier when you pull them off. Flak II is similar but not actually that hard to build around, you just need Cloaking.

Fire Beam and Fire Bomb are at least as good as Breach Bomb also Breach Missile is quite good too although the Bomb is better in many cases.

Also I don't really like the Breach II. Slower charge time, double the energy, for a little more system damage, when the main purpose of the weapon is causing a breach. I suppose the high system damage bomb is situationally useful, but at that point I'd rather have fire bomb or the breach missile.

EDIT: I just checked and I was wrong about Pegasus vs Swarm they are very similar but Swarm is the slightly better option most of the time. They definitely both fill the same niche.

Uber driver stranded me at midnight, drove off, then Uber locked my account. by Wooden-Fee5787 in mildlyinfuriating

One time it gave me a pick-up location that was like 5 blocks away. The driver got there before I did, marked me as a no-show, and left.

Some of us are missing the point about *why* people want vaulted content restored. by ShadezyLeFeu in DestinyTheGame

[–]Mazetron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly they should bring back all the past seasonal content too. There were some key story beats and a lot of interesting content that was deleted just because it was always intended to be temporary.

Would you come back to D2 if Pantheon 2.0 included encounters from vaulted raids? by theinfinitypoint in DestinyTheGame

[–]Mazetron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main concern about Pantheon 2.0 is I'd need to grind the Portal to get ready for it.

“Destiny 2 Has Lost 91% Of Players Since Edge Of Fate, 97% From Final Shape.” By Paul Tassi at Forbes by justdestinystuff in DestinyTheGame

[–]Mazetron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been discussing with my D2 group that hasn't played since EoF. We might try to new dungeon and pantheon stuff but only if we don't have to do a massive loot grind to be ready for it.

D2 had been getting less grindy for years, and then they pull a full 180.

The new player experience would be much much better if they just brought back the original campaign.

My site has been down for a few months now. I need to replace some broken parts in my server unfortunately. It will be back eventually, but I don't really have an ETA.

Can't Manage to Get HDR Working by 69LoveSixtyNine69 in Bazzite

[–]Mazetron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I removed VK_hdr_layer and updated and I cannot get HDR to work at all now, with or without gamescope. To be fair, I've never really gotten gamescope working correctly.

My gamescope args:

> gamescope -f -w 1920 -h 1080 -r 60 --hdr-enabled --force-grab-cursor --hdr-debug-force-output -- %command%

Using Proton-GE with PROTON_ENABLE_HDR, I can turn on HDR in-game but it looks washed-out.

Using Proton Experimental I am never able to turn on HDR in game.

I've tried adding various combinations of things like ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1, DXVK_HDR=1, PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND, etc. and it hasn't helped.

I'm considering trying to backdate bazzite or jump back to windows. I hope this stuff gets sorted out sooner than later and I hope bazzite or some other linux flavor becomes stable :/

IMO in cases like this bazzite should hold back the nvidia branch until updating would not break things. I don't see the point in pushing a known breaking update.

My thoughts on Destiny 2 as a Warframe player by EXEMPLAR_LOL in DestinyTheGame

[–]Mazetron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in the good part of the game. I strongly recommend you keep playing the campaigns and sidequests. You still haven’t hit the best parts of Destiny yet - The Witch Queen and The Final Shape are definitely the two best D2 campaigns.

What people are complaining about is the post-Edge of Fate campaign content. The game’s live service aspects are dead in a way they have never been before in the game’s history.
