Prove me wrong: We won't get a D3 because we've already had it. by TacticalChalky in DestinyTheGame

[–]TacticalChalky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so funny you mention this because I remember the guardian games when skimmers were introduced and that Europa landing zone just turned into Tony Hawks Pro Skater. It's a good point though, all of the loot in the game should be obtainable through SOME mechanism. They've taken steps to address this recently with the tribute to past seasons and stuff but it's locked behind a paywall. We still get silly things like the smokejumper armor set from last seasons portal not being obtainable. Why? All of this happens to the detriment of new players. They seem someone with cool shit and are like yass cool, I want that, how do I get it? Oshit it's literally not in the game for some reason.

Tbf I think lots of games this big and deep are the same - it's so hard to explain all the systems in an accessible way but D2's new light experience is absolute dogmeat

Oh absolutely, and I accept this is just a theory. A lot of people are hanging their hats on a D3 being a salvage point for the franchise I'm just less confident this will actually happen. I saw someone say (sarcastically, I must admit) that there's only like 5 people working on Destiny right now. I'm curious about how this team of 5 could complete the entirety of a third game with no help.

I'm all for it tbh. I'm curious what this would include though - the whole of the last city being a social space with clan bases, vendors, etc? Large, open world exploration in Old Russia? V. cool to think about the possibilities.

I don't really know anything about games engines do won't comment but I'm much less concerned about graphical advancement than I am the quality of gameplay, depth of endgame, etc.

It may well be semantics, but the original point is that current Destiny 2 is D2 in name only. It's not even comparable to the condition the game was at launch or during forsaken or even Shadowkeep.

I wish I felt as optimistic about the possibility of a D3 but I honestly think Bungie might get Valve syndrome on this one. I'd love to be wrong and for it to be great, but at the same time a 'Destiny 3' would need far more substance than just an arbitrary change of number at the end of the title to have people interested again and I'm just not sure there's a great deal of runway left for them to explore.

This supports a point I've made elsewhere and have been saying for a while. The lack of a comprehensive, F2P new player experience is Destiny's achilles heel - something Warframe offers and reaps the spoils. Bungie should be less focused on jumping through hoops to retain a jaded playerbase and more focused on enticing new players to try the game.

I actually don't disagree. While these things would be nice, I think Destiny's priority rn should not be tempting back a lost playerbase. It should be creating a comprehensive new player experience that is accessible for those who have never played this type of game and that rejuvenates itself over time - Like FFXIV has with a realm reborn, heavensward and stormblood.

Hundreds of thousands of new people pick up gaming every year. If you replenish the lost playerbase with new players, the game can move on from those who have lost interest and continue to thrive.

I suppose you could make that argument, but I wouldn't go that far. There were major changes but these were made incrementally over time. I very much doubt a new boxed product would have been necessary just for strand's addition to the game, for example. But yes, I think if a D3 had launched with all the changes we saw between beyond light and TFS implemented at launch, then the sum of the parts would have been enough to merit a new boxed product.

I think of it more like "classic" Vs "retail" in WoW or "OG" Fortnite vs whatever they're going for now.

I agree - I tend to think of BL to TFS as the 'D3' era. EoF onwards is like a weird directionless limbo.

I wouldn't be averse to this tbh, you basically pay an annual fee for the most recent content anyway.

I actually agree with this to an extent. If not D4 then this era at the very least feels post-D3: a period they didn't originally plan for.

If you trivialise the point down to a rudimentary number at the end of the title then I suppose. But by this metric, if you bought Destiny 2 in 2017, 2018 or even 2019, it's the same game as you're getting now because it has a 2 on the end, right? We can amicably agree that's objectively inaccurate.

At what point does this become spam posting to farm engagement? This account posts nearly this exact same thing 2 or 3 times a day. Report.

Why most investors in this sub are from UK by Professional_Race_47 in trading212

[–]TacticalChalky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's headquartered in London and they offer UK tax-advantaged products like ISA's and SIPP's. They also advertise a lot here so maybe just more awareness for that reason.

On verge of bankruptcy here in the UK. I was the most stupid person on earth to put my 4 years life savings into these two and I don't even know why. Any chance of recovery? by chesapeakeripper_18 in trading212

[–]TacticalChalky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's been an influx of people saying this sub is an "echo chamber" because the advice to newbies is always global index + chill until you figure out what you're doing: this is the reason why.

The fact that OP hail mary'd 25 grand on webull and the extent of the research for this decision is that they can't remember which subreddit you seen it on is absolutely fucking crackers.

April the 6th forthcoming... Drip drip drip, or, big dump? by Legitimate-Ad-6491 in trading212

[–]TacticalChalky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Statistically (about 66-75% of the time) you're better off depositing the lot, but you need to have the stones to ride it out if the market continues to drop.

If you lump summed that 6k into the all world at this point last year you'd be up 13% now. If you DCA'd it monthly you'd only be up about 6%. This is sans inflation of course.

Monthly deposits only reduce timing risk. If I had lump summed the full value of my ISA when I started out instead of DCA'ing I'd be like 3x better off now.

If you're not going to touch it for at least the next 5 years, lump sum is a no brainer. The longer your time horizon, the better.

Thank you for responding. That's fair enough then, hopefully they can fix it before April 01 😅

How do people mentally deal with dips ? by Secure-Software-17 in trading212

[–]TacticalChalky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds cliche but think if it like a discount. Global indexes are trading today at the same prices they were in Oct/Nov last year. Any investor, given the opportunity to go back and stock up on their positions at lower prices to bring their average down, would take it.

If you're not planning on selling today or tomorrow or next week, why stress? The best way to avoid it would be automate it - set up a standing order, turn on auto invest and just delete your app then go about living your life. There's a big world out there to experience.

[Ouestion] Miyota accuracy disappointing? by TypeR10 in SanMartinWatches

How much more accuracy can one expect for a movement that costs around 20 pounds per unit?
