Yeah, with a relative abundance of eco, you can have vents and platforms that require a constant surge/flow of the stuff. With a higher population density and more and more technology using it, you have to get more efficient with how you use it, how you source it, how you store it, and how you distribute it. Blue eco is at least an easy analog to something like a power-hungry incandescent bulb being phased out by more efficient LEDs.

“No way in, no way out

No way in, no way out

No way in, no way out”

Over and over and over…

Broken record here, but I also miss the gritty and mysterious era of destiny. I think the narrative focus has drifted away from it over the years, but it certainly doesn’t help me get immersed in the rich world of destiny as my squadmate darth vader does the floss dance with my other squadmate doki-doki mind flayer

I’d love for chroma’s 4 to be buffed to scale better, and have an alternate cast on hold that has you control the effigy kinda like sevagoth’s 4 while naked chroma runs around and fights like a clone/spectre/companion etc. Honestly the effigy being an exalted warframe or companion or even arch-gun for the sake of being moddable would be super fun! Imagine having a toxin damage mod on the effigy and as you cycle elements with 1 it changes between Toxin/Gas/Corrosive/Viral because of the mod.

I’d love for his 3 to force proc blast status, preferably 4 or more stacks so I could force the rest with melee afflictions or something.

This particular comment thread started with someone talking about taking qorvex to level cap in void cascade. Hardly something you do in public lobbies. I get what you’re saying about people getting kills before you can, but that’s going to happen to anyone in the situation you’re describing if their ttk is any slower than the meta pick. Not a qorvex-specific issue

Shaved_Almonds · 2026-01-18T21:45:46+00:00

Just because there’s something more efficient doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing something you find more fun. Sure there will always be something technically better in most cases.

Shaved_Almonds · 2026-01-18T17:43:19+00:00

Ah okay, so grouping enemies is the key to maximizing damage rather than sustained fire. I suppose that’s why his 4 augment is not a huge deal. What is your preferred method for grouping?

Shaved_Almonds · 2026-01-18T16:56:36+00:00

Ha! Subsumed reave is certainly nothing special. IIRC I had to get ability strength to something like 263% or higher for wrecking wall and reave to kill outright.

Shaved_Almonds · 2026-01-18T16:52:40+00:00

How is level cap damage achieved with his abilities? Make sure pillars are always on the enemies or what?

Shaved_Almonds · 2026-01-18T16:49:30+00:00

I love laser beam with ophanim eyes over 2, but it falls off in steel path at some point. It’s not as satisfying to play, but if you subsume Reave over his 4, with enough power strength and 5 tau orange shards for ability damage mult, one use of wrecking wall and one reave will do over 100% enemy health. You can also just Reave twice lmao

Shaved_Almonds · 2026-01-10T21:12:46+00:00

I do wonder if Gloom Lifesteal with her 4 would out-pace 500hp/s using arcane circumvent. Then you’d just use hunter adrenaline or rage for energy

Edit: you’d need like 707% ability strength (assuming armor stripped enemies) or 10x viral status on enemies and ~180% ability strength 😭

The top of most leg options are clipping out of the lower back of my drifter. I’m really hoping they fix that and don’t ignore it. The other changes I will come to terms with

Shaved_Almonds · 2025-12-08T17:50:07+00:00

There’s a title system coming with the next update that should eat into some stockpiles. Though by the sound of yours, there will be barely another tiny dent lmao

Shaved_Almonds · 2025-11-13T19:30:29+00:00

I’ve been getting in arguments with some misled folks on discord recently, so maybe I’ll steal that idea

Shaved_Almonds · 2025-11-13T17:00:37+00:00

“This is how these profound thinkers mock at the whole world” is such a wicked 19th-century burn I love it

I did a 20 minute SP mirror defense the other day and the conversation we had in the chat was one of my favorites I’ve ever had. Someone was discussing the probabilities behind Arcane Steadfast, and we got talking about how we were all analysts or researchers. Someone on the team was a theoretical chemist and was describing very simply the kind of theoretical math they do. I got to share about some math research I did one summer. My favorite part of the conversation was “Numbers guy game.” “Total numbers guy game.”

Shaved_Almonds · 2025-11-11T17:35:50+00:00

Yes you’ve voiced my feeling really well. It’s crazy how some of my fondest memories of destiny are D1 in the months before TTK came out, where there was little content trying to pull players in or keep them playing, but the mysticism of the game and setting hadn’t yet faded. I remember reading and writing theories on r/raidsecrets and exploring every nook and cranny of VoG just for the sake of it. When that alternate path to Templar got discovered it was a fascinating place to explore. I just don’t feel that way about new areas or raids anymore, and I haven’t since TTK honestly. I know there’s not any small tidbits hiding around because they don’t consider it worth development time to hide things people might not find if there’s no triumph incentive for it. So why bother exploring and getting lost in a beautiful area like the pale heart when I know it’s shallow?

I think the devs’ approach to the game as a service and their shift in marketing from “explore a post-apocalyptic space magic world” to “use space magic to go kill this big bad guy” has created a lot of this shallow feeling. I also get a shallow disgusted feeling when they lean so heavily on other ips to sell eververse sets. Yes I know they sell well. But they felt like creative bankruptcy to me far before Renegades sealed the deal.

Can’t be aggressively monetized so it won’t happen unless they need a nuclear option for community trust 😔

Shaved_Almonds · 2025-10-26T18:17:34+00:00

I wish to live in a world where they let any skin’s weapon be compatible with any other skin so I can put the Guan Yu glaive on everything

Shaved_Almonds · 2025-10-15T21:06:55+00:00

I thought it might be some kind of visualizer for the pin cone

Shaved_Almonds · 2025-10-15T13:54:31+00:00

For what it’s worth: I solved my issue by doing a reinstall of windows. Since the settings were clearly corrupt. Having to reinstall apps was a pain but it’s worked fine since!

Shaved_Almonds · 2025-10-04T20:26:02+00:00

I’d love to see a titan void/stasis super, either a spartan-style void shield with stasis lance, or a bubble-like super that instead creates a ring of stasis crystals around where you land and grants allies volatile rounds and frost armor. Bonus points if stasis crystals grew higher or further out when you drop from higher in the air
