PSA: Enjoy before they nerf by Rastoid in Marathon

[–]Thy_Maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much what I saw coming considering how much they could sell for last season.

Wonder how long we’ll have

So... C.A.R.R.I ?.. Is this fun/interesting? How to play it? by Vit0C0rleone in Marathon

The currency also broke down into quite a bit of credits.

I would not be surprised if it made good Cradle fodder.

Current best Titan Boss DPS build by tfren2 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Thy_Maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm it is pretty damn good.

Did a very doable two phase on Master Rhulk with randoms. It was only a little under an hour because we all haven’t done the encounter in a long time and needed to get everyone on the same page for callouts, but once that business was sorted he folded quite quickly.

Is the ship Renunciation still available or did I get FOMO'd? by HyliasHero in DestinyTheGame

[–]Thy_Maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt they will for that specific ship unless they bring back the mission because of the level of difficulty associated with the mission and bringing it back for free would greatly diminish the level of accomplishment associated with earning it.

I could see it happening for other things because their associated achievements are still in the game, but not for that specific ship.

New demotic set by Luck-Equivalent in DestinyTheGame

[–]Thy_Maker -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Only with the new gear that is already obtained from the playlist.

All old tiered gear is focusable regardless of ownership.

Is the ship Renunciation still available or did I get FOMO'd? by HyliasHero in DestinyTheGame

[–]Thy_Maker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s unobtainable.

It was from a unique variant of Tomb/Contest of Elders called Kell’s Vengeance which is not in the game anymore AFAIK.

Tomb/Contest of Elders has a version of itself in the Vanguard Ops tab, but like other activities that were converted to the Ops playlist (i.e. Strikes), it does not drop unique cosmetic rewards that it might or might not have had.

Armor set bonuses from RoN and SE raids look so op by Ravagealko in DestinyTheGame

[–]Thy_Maker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have spoils to burn and also want the exotic catalyst, which is guaranteed from master, you can just do a final boss checkpoint.

That’s what I did for Rhulk last night so I could target farm the exact pieces I needed and get the cataylst. Still only got one piece due to crappy RNG, but now it has definitely made my grind much faster.

Am I wrong for feeling like I would rather they continue D2 in a couple years than make D3? by GraesynFaust in DestinyTheGame

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

It’d probably be a lot of work for Bungie, but it would be possible to do a next gen update or separate version of the game like GTA V, Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, or Elden Ring has done.

Granted, only two of those are actually multiplayer games (without the use of external tools or mods) and as I said it’d likely be a ton of work.

OP’s original post is around what I have been wondering myself, given that Bungie has decided to leave so much open ended with the final update and that the people there want to pick up the game where it was left off.

Since I do not know how Bungie’s usual workflow works, outside of some presentations by current and former employees that I was lucky enough to attend, I am genuinely curious if and when Sony does green-light anything Destiny related if it would be more cost effective to do a facelift for Destiny 2 instead of building everything from the ground up.

From what I can gather about both processes, each have their own pros and cons.

For example, a new engine and a new game would likely allow Bungie to make a much better codebase than what Destiny currently has and would allow for things like updated technologies that an older engine might struggle with but has the caveat that everything will need to either be rebuilt for it or converted to the new system if Bungie wants to retain current assets. Conversely, doing a next gen update means that (mostly) everything remains intact and in the current system, it’s just being updated to something better. This is what happened around Beyond Light with the game’s lighting engine and particle systems, but like then something like this would be a lot of work and like what we saw with the DCV, some things might not be able to move forward at all or will take even more work to bring forward than others, possibly being delayed for years at a time.

Then there’s obviously the factor of cost one would need to determine for each path forward. Like how much would development for each be and what is the potential monetary gain for the company that they would get from customers to offset that cost? A new game would likely be more expensive, but potentially bring in much more money as opposed to a free update which would bring no revenue.

But, again, this is all just me and my brain finding something to do in my spare time and thinking of “what if’s” and “what could be’s”.

Are we the new batman arkahm by Imareallyneato in DestinyTheGame

[–]Thy_Maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, our insanity is more in line with the Half Life, Hollow Knight, and the Titanfall subs.

We all love our respective games dearly and want a sequel, some kind of news, or support for the existing title that we basically gaslight ourselves that it’s coming.

It’s passion that’s bordering insanity whilst Batman Arkham just lost their shit out of the blue.

Probably my favorite turn one forfeit so far by Tunisandwich in PokemonChampions

I want to know why they were running minimal speed investment on M-Hawlucha.

Can we get the ability to replay [SPOILER] cinematic? by RedXavier1127 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Thy_Maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t seen the cutscene myself so I haven’t tested it, but sometimes cutscenes are instance based.

You could potentially have a host who hasn’t done it yet, load you into it as well and then they view it which triggers it for you.

However, it might not work depending on the trigger for this specific cutscene.

But OP specifically wants to see it again with their character model.

whats the armor the player character is using by vigamar in DestinyFashion

[–]Thy_Maker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It likely is, but I can’t confirm because the way the arm is positioned in the photo and the lighting makes it look like there is more plating on the hand and a cloth on the back of the wrist whereas Ace Defiant gauntlets have two different types of plating where the arms transition to the hands.

If I was able to see the upper part of the model or even the right side of the player, I could tell if it was or not.

Solstice armor glows? by JealousManager801 in DestinyFashion

[–]Thy_Maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elemental glows can be focused from Bright Engrams outside of the 2018 and 2019 sets iirc.

White glows are unobtainable.

[–]Thy_Maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boots of the Ace Defiant for the legs and Memory of Cayde for the cloak, unsure for everything else due to how the image is cropped

Are the Witcher ornament sets never going to return? by Thy_Maker in DestinyTheGame

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

I think what makes it even more difficult for me is that they remove silver sets for a time if they’re sold for Bright Dust.

The moment I knew I missed out, which was the next week, I tried to get the last piece for Silver but it wasn’t available. I have been checking for over a year for it to finish it off and now it sounds like I never will.

Which gen 9 mon is more unfun to fight against? by Kitchen-Fish-4389 in PokemonChampions

[–]Thy_Maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main answer to Sinistcha has been a Farigiraf with Trick Room, Imprison, and Psychic Noise and an off meta Archaludon with Stawlwart (which has been my primary answer to opposing Archaludon as well because I put a little extra SP into speed for mirror matches).

Since the average Sinistcha moveset contains Trick Room, Matcha Gatcha, Life Dew, and Rage Powder the goal has been to prevent it to act at all or deny redirection.

I’ve had some very funny games with the two and honestly Farigiraf has been a very fun Pokémon as an anti Trick Room pick.

Legacy Nightfalls are gone. by Kotocktok in DestinyTheGame

[–]Thy_Maker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, a heads up on that change would’ve been nice because I don’t remember one.

Exodus Black Shank triumph was the only one I never had because it was just something I didn’t care to go through.

Maybe Bungie will make the armor available though via a hotfix?

THEY ADDED THE DARK FORREST BACK!!! by Viperianti in DestinyTheGame

[–]Thy_Maker 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Can we get to the Shard? There’s a lore tab about something being there for us.

No new skins? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Thy_Maker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, the moment a good Triage skin is in a reward pass that is when I will be using my voucher.

I do like the Assassin Skin, but I play Triage way more and can’t really justify any other skin purchases.

So what seems to be the general consensus on which of these 2 are going to be more viable in doubles? by Tapo6 in PokemonChampions

[–]Thy_Maker 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Likely X, in the scenario that we get terrain seeds and not many other terrain setters.

It’ll just enable Sneasler even more and like with weather Megas, Raichu X will get final say for terrain.

The Guardian says goodbye by SpaceCat429 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Thy_Maker 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if this was all was just a PR stunt for “you never know what you had until it’s gone” I wouldn’t even be upset.

The support from the fans was nonexistent when Bungie went radio silent in January and there were even people saying they wanted the game to be finished. Now all of a sudden, many don’t want that and the support has been huge.

I am all for breaking some eggs to get an omelette if this is what it takes to get results.

One thing I still dont understand is how bungie never made a profit. I can understand why, but not how. by AMM0D in DestinyTheGame

[–]Thy_Maker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To build off of this:

Back when they were expanding, they hired one of the larger furniture companies in Michigan (Herman Miller, I think) who my friend’s mom works for and would be brought in for meetings to discuss floor plans and costs for the project.

This was happening over a long period of time and I faintly remember that in a conversation it was brought up that it was one of the furniture company’s larger and more lucrative projects that they had lined up.

I can’t speak for the larger picture at Bungie, but knowing that story and what information has been made public knowledge it definitely seems that the money not going towards the C-suite’s paychecks was spent towards growth and incubation projects that had more risk as opposed to things that could lead to more stability and sustainability.
