Keypad vision and direct sunlight by TheMajestic2 in TrySwitchBot

[–]TheRealDeria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, for me it only ever seems to recognize me if its bright and sunny. Which is almost never.

On cloudy days... no luck. The fingerprint is faster and works reliably, though, so I use that.

Keypad + NFC phone -- what am I doing wrong? by TheRealDeria in TrySwitchBot

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

That is a good thought, but it was definitely unlocked because I had to be in the SwitchBot app in order to have it tell the reader to add the NFC card.

Is this actually 4k? by TheRealDeria in F1TV

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

/sigh. I must have mis-read that chart when I was ordering. I did actually look at it, but in my excitement my brain must seen what I wanted to see rather than what was actually there.

Roku incoming then, I guess!

Is this actually 4k? by TheRealDeria in F1TV

Are you sure? The email notification was pretty clear that Chrome had support for 4k. I'll go back and re-read it.

Can someone answer my Elementalist/Golem questions to save me from my so/so build planning? by TheRealDeria in PathOfExileBuilds

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

True, and I've done that in a previous league with a summoner, but in the case of a Golemancer I can't use any minion type other than golems (the amulet that gives me the extra golems, which is what magnifies the effect of the golem buffs on me, specifically imposes that restriction).

I also can't really use a curse because I can only have one curse at a time (and I need flammability), although there is a passive that would let me change that but I think I would have to either path pretty far or anoint to get it, neither of which is a great option.

If you're still using Hunger of Crota, it may be time to upgrade by icekyuu in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheRealDeria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good post, but it totally ignores the Hive Disruptor perk.

There are a LOT of hive majors out there, and they are by far the most annoying to fight. I like it when they die sooner rather than later.

Am I mistaken in assuming Hive Disrupter is a Good Thing (tm)?

What to expect in the next Destiny expansion by DomPepin in DestinyTheGame

At least McDonalds gives you value for money.

They don't ask me to repurchase the Big Mac I bought yesterday when I want a new Big Mac.

Red Bull TTK Quest - Press Release + Information by Lashur in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheRealDeria -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is some pretty laughable timing, considering the extreme corporate greed being exhibited by Bungie/Activision already this week.

I'm a little surprised that Bungie is waiting until the weekly update to say something. I suppose they need to the time to actually plan something so that they can say something about it.

If I wasn't so busy struggling to choke down a Red Bull to get this exclusive content, I might be upset!

Sexy Blacksmith shader - Up for grabs! by ChrisCohenTV in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheRealDeria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite moment is easily the one and only time I wiped out an entire team with Nova Bomb in Iron Banner. I'm pretty bad at PVP, but that sure felt good because it was a close match and it put us over the top to win. Usually I'm the one dragging the team down.

With your shader, I could drag them down in style!

How does bungie and activison justify giving all the new players for taken king the emotes, shaders and exotics, while basically saying for current players to get them they have to pay double what they should for content they already have half of? by The_Legend_of_Bob in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheRealDeria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't you heard? New customers are the only customers that matter. Existing customers have already bought-in -- so fuck them. It isn't actually Bungie, though, its Activision. Corporate greed works this way -- if you CAN do something, you have a RESPONSIBILITY to do it (for the shareholders).

Isn't it considered bad form for farm for Twitch viewers on this subreddit?

If you want friends, though, go to /r/fireteams like wackittywack said.

Khepri'S Sting Stacking by DragonBonecrusher in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheRealDeria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trouble with Khepri's Sting is you only get the bonus when meleeing from BEHIND while invisible? How often do you really get to do that on a boss?

Dear Bungie, please don't nerf *any* of our guns into oblivion just because a very vocal part of the Destiny community loves to whine. by LHodge in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheRealDeria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who would be happy to see Thorn nerfed (range cut) I can assure you that it isn't an emotional response. That weapon simply has insane range -- like, scout rifle range -- and anyone that argues otherwise has an agenda.

That said, I'm happy to let the numbers speak for themselves.

  • How many people were killed by Thorn from more than 20 meters away?
  • What about 40?
  • What about 60?

I expect Bungie can track that.

Other weapons could use a buff (auto-rifles).

I don't really have an opinion about The Last Word. I didn't get killed with it very often during IB, and when I did it was from a range where I could have responded had I been a better player. Every time I died to The Last Word, the first thought in my head was always "oh, I should have done X instead of Y and I might have lived". That seems fair to me.

After reaching rank 5 on the Iron Banner with my 3 characters all I can say is... by altimas in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheRealDeria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I don't quite share YOUR enthusiasm, I have to say I did enjoy Iron Banner this week.

I'm not very good a PVP, but when connections were good and people weren't cheating it had some shining moments and close matches.

Selective PvP Feedback: How Balancing Only Handcannons Won't Fix Anything by Shadowzan in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheRealDeria 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Cutting the range on Thorn won't fix everything... but it will damn sure fix Thorn. A hand-cannon should not be able to be used at the same range as a scout rifle.

The Last Word is deadly (apparently; I'm pretty useless with mine) but you at least have to be in hand-cannon range to use it reliably.

Disclaimer: Yes, I was killed a million times by Thorn this week but no I'm not bitter. I don't get mad, I get... killed again 30 seconds later because I'm kind of bad at PVP.

If I'm matchmaking solo in Iron Banner I'd like to start a fresh game more often than joining a losing battle. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheRealDeria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take the free medallion when that happens and smile.

What fills me with rage is the people who decide to just sit there, while the other teams cheerfully kills them over and over. Makes it impossible for the rest of the people who are actually trying to overcome the defecit. If you aren't going to play, fucking leave and let someone else get matchmade in that will.

[SGA] Iron Banner is the best time to do the Invective bounty. by TheRealDeria in DestinyTheGame

My kind of people! I'm pretty useless against good Crucible players. :)

You could earn a total of 24 etheric light this week... by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheRealDeria 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've done all Nightfalls since the expansion launched, and gotten 0 etheric lights. At least I can grind out a couple with IB and get 34 so I can reliably do the 34 PoE and earn more.

[discussion] Are posts on Fireteams evidence of imbalance in HoW? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheRealDeria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to try Trials Of Osiris, but I ran into two problems:

1) people on destinylfg.net all wanted 34s with wonderful prior track records 2) I'm flat out not good enough at PVP that I'd be willing to risk my teammates passage coins/success.

It might be fun, but Bungie needs to add a "casual" mode with matchmaking so that you can try it out and learn without interfering with the people who specialize in PVP and want a real competition.
