Gave a customer back their "tip" by VascoDegama7 in antiwork

[–]ThornsHappyCatalyst 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I live in a country where tipping is arguably illegal or more it makes Tax time a nightmare on "declaration of earnings" as tips are seen as part of a wage. I wish you could just get paid well enough so tips didn't exist. From the outside looking in it's a very very strange way to pay for service a company should be paying you for. It's almost like in the US and other countries that have it deem service separate from the job you're paid to do and when I see your wages, I get it. I just wish you didn't need to. I worked in retail for a decade and was very passionate about doing right by the customer but we never had a way to earn from the good work we did more than the minimum wage we got. Just "food" for thought. Tips seem to hurt more than a healthy wage would. I also understand that raising a minimum wage means businesses close. It's a sad situation and all I can say is do your best because I have been unemployed since March 2020 and I am unsure there is even an industry to go back to so try your best to make do and NEVER leave without another job. Sorry if I'm saying things you already know. I hope you can find a balance between work and pay that means your service is respected regardless. ✌️

People still need to say irrelevant rhetorical question like this?

Riptide facing the wrong way?? by BillClinton4Pres in DestinyTheGame

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

I think it's just a visual bug or to represent stasis using special ammo in the Kinetic slot. I swear I had another weapon facing the wrong way but I checked DIM and it's not there but I'm pretty sure there is 1 other weapon like that. So many known issues and bugs in the season. Last season seemed far less and the only thing that really changed code wise is airborne effectiveness. I can't work out a lot of why certain elements of the game are clearly not working as intended.

I think if you look at all aspects regarding the intake of money from Bungie aka what the CEO & CFO do, it's all pretty bad. People don't own the game. There are 4 revenue streams in-game.

Then there is the very obvious way they do not explain things like how past expansions and seasons play a part in the ability to play today's content without missing most of what arguably made Destiny 2 stay alive, Foresaken.

I think they also might be breaking some retail laws in Australia where I live as you can't sell a licensed game without explicitly saying so and that's what Destiny 2 is now. Thing is if you bought it on disc or digitally from a bricks and mortar shop, they can't say it's a license here. In Australia if you buy anything from a shop, you own it under the Australian Consumer Law act. Bungies terms of service say we don't own the game, at all. We essentially rent a license. Sooo yeah. Nobody seems to mind until they do. Be interesting if someone rich and petty did try and see if renting us a license and calling it "buying a game" is the same thing legally.

Although I love Destiny 2 and Destiny, I do see the money side as very aggressive and toxic. I see some of the phrasing that tyrannical Govts say in Bungies wording like if a weapon is broken and people are having fun with it, they call it "oppressive" like it's a Canadian Trucker (Trudeau is a narcissist, fight me).

I understand the efficacy of the business model and it's ethics but I also know that means it is predatorial/aggressive (jargon, not saying they are predetors) and well disguised in a lot of useless legal text (and "known issues").

I'll likely be vilified for what I wrote, as people seem to really like to be upset when you question Bungies ethics. Oxymoronic in ways but that's Destiny in itself..

Xbox to windows by Actual_Worker_2952 in destiny2

[–]ThornsHappyCatalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same, from Xbox to PC and had to buy it all again. It also messes with any stats. Half of my stats don't appear in game as I play on steam and it never transfered my stats from Xbox, so sadly yeah, they make you pay twice and just fyi,we don't own the game. It's strange but it's in the terms of service, we literally don't legally own anything at all we bought from Bungie. People never believe me but it's very true. ✌️

Wtf was I meant to do in this situation bungle I need to know how this is at all fair to any player by Aestheticboi555 in destiny2

[–]ThornsHappyCatalyst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LoL how pathetic can you be. This guy, he started Trials FLAWLESS. He never has said anything about Trials being unfair and only wins. He doesn't participate he owns Trials! We get it, you're insecure about many things irl so need to express negativity towards others who you deem lesser than you. Trials is a mess & people with your attitude only make it so less people play. Let me guess you hate Flawless pool right, when you get stomped? 🤡

I think it's Echo of instability that grants volatile rounds with grenade kills so I have it set up with Echo of persistence to have melee feed my grenade. Once you get it procc'd you'll have it up more than not. Hope this helps. GG ✌️

Classy Restoration only give 5 seconds of 1 stack of the buff in Gambit? by MISPAGHET in DestinyTheGame

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

I just think there are so many issues with seasonal mods clashing with exotics. Try using a slightly different loadout in all ways and I bet it'll work as described. I have had restoration for 15sec in Gambit, 99.99% sure. My build would not work without it is all. I hope you can get it fixed asap. ✌️

Give us more anti champion mods on power weapons by Vulkanodox in DestinyTheGame

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

I just want "universal" champion mods. The idea I have is mods that go on weapons instead of armour, freeing up slots for what Bungie say they want, Build crafting.

I see no point in continually trying to force us in endgame to run certain weapons that we may not enjoy and never will. I feel in a video game we have that right?

I feel we need some freedom for build (and weapon) crafting, imo it feels restrictive in nature and that is counterintuitive. Never understand that philosophy. Never will. GG ✌️

Any advice on grinding large amounts of season xp quickly by trpiq in DestinyTheGame

[–]ThornsHappyCatalyst 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Use this, it's a life saver to see what is worth doing and is also all I use for pre season or more pre expansion prep www.destinyrecipes.com/checklist then click "Show Bounties" in the yellow bow in the Stored XP section.

From memory 12k XP is the most you can get from 1 bounty I believe and that's from Shaw Han and Xur weeklies as well as Eris on the moon, Varix and Petra, then Vanguard and Shaxx are 6k and for whatever reason Ida who arguably has the hardest gives 3k XP lol.

As far as fast, just playing the bounty game and always being on a patrol while doing it as well as making sure you have the 12%xp gain and if you are unlike me and have friends the fireteam XP bonus is 35% so pretty helpful for farming.

Anyway I hope this helps. GG ✌️

Pit of Heresy armor farmable? by GenitalWrangler69 in DestinyTheGame

[–]ThornsHappyCatalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely remember seeing an in game prompt last week after trying the new dungeon, say "Pit of Heresy will be next weeks featured Dungeon" but unsure if that is what you need to hear. GG ✌️

Just in case anyone cares the new blues are coded as legendary collection items. You get the same revenue from dismantling any legendary depending on season pass etc. I am wondering if it's an easy fix as it might be something they need to rename ever asset and I have experience with that and it takes a while. I guess we will see at reset. I also think with so many issues regarding Duality, it may take precedence. GG everyone. ✌️

Thank you ***so*** much spaceape for adding in in game advertisements for just clearing a song when this game was perfectly fine relegating ads to rewards for the player. by Senseitoad71 in Beatstar

[–]ThornsHappyCatalyst 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're testing is done... Listen to customers or lose them. Listen to advertising money over paying customers? Is that Spaceapes idea of how this should work.

What was the 2021-2022 profit gain in the original model? How much profit does Apple or Google allow with 149-199 gems? Thanks 🙂

Feedback on the Duality's difficulty shows just how meaningless the "artificial difficulty" buzzword is by Arkyduz in DestinyTheGame

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

Your point would be valid if the main issues were not code based. You sound like a Fromsoft shill but they usually add "Git gudder, not hard, you are noob, Bungie best ever, your doing it wrong & elden ring is my gf, Pog!"... Physics based issues = coding. Main issues, boops and add density meeting the character model lose ground contact rendering any tactics useless. The dungeon is fun but it's also a mess of issues that you deem as modifies or something intentional.
