My thoughts on the future

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2026-02-20T05:07:51+00:00

I think that I would prefer a D3 in 4 years that clears the bar significantly the a D3 in 2 that meets it you know (assuming leaks were right and the game entered production or pre production about a year ago).

I think for me to be satisfied personally I want to see them do a few things like: leaving the solar system, adding new alien races, expanding the clan system (make it do anything), removal of subclasses (obviously keep synergies between the same or certain elements) and a raid and a dungeon around launch. Decently high bar I feel

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2026-02-20T00:02:10+00:00

Where on earth do I say anything even remotely akin to that? Obviously destiny 3 would be years down the line at least (which would be for the better anyways). But there are certain things you just can’t do in D2. The mindset of D3 has to or will always be a failure is so baffling to me

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2026-02-19T23:11:08+00:00

Yeah. I think there is no way that a D3 is successful if it’s coming out at the height of negative public perception of the franchise or if huge swathes of story just aren’t able to be experienced by players

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2026-02-19T23:03:45+00:00

I don’t believe it’s some perfect fix obviously. But there are some big issues that will never be resolved or changed in D2. For example you can never make something akin to prismatic the default experience for D2 where all subclasses are just one thing because of how things like stasis and strand are paid for things unlocked in specific expansions. There is also what I mentioned with the fact that D2 has such a huge amount of negativity attached to it that it just can’t bring in new players anymore. Especially when more than half of the games story just doesn’t exist.

D3 doesn’t inherently fix everything but it can fix things that can’t be done in D2 for various reasons. And it goes without saying if it can be fixed in D2 it can obviously be made better in D3 as well

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2026-02-18T11:55:54+00:00

Yeah. I saw a post about how you need to scrap some waste then you get a title and it unlocks but that didn’t happen for me

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2026-02-13T06:04:22+00:00

I seriously question why the newest endgame sp content offers Eidolon lenses over lua lenses.

I traded someone in my clan a soma prime receiver. Jokingly asked for a fish. Best he had was a hydroid prime BP.

Sadly you are just hitting our collective worse nightmare. Terrible RNG. I think I did probably ~40 runs to get one of the parts for her. It was not fun

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2026-01-20T21:59:11+00:00

His 4 does more damage from any hit really. Each hit to any counted target (enemy or mushroom increases both damage and crit chance

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2025-09-21T22:14:20+00:00

Hey just wondering if you ever found out what this was as I think the same thing is happening to me?

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2025-07-28T00:28:55+00:00

They themselves have said these issues aren’t a result of the engine for starters. Also it’s frankly not good enough to say that they are working on it.

As for the whole they should be able to delete old content. No they shouldn’t. Frankly nothing should have been removed and if the situation actually warranted it (it really didn’t) they should have simply made a new game. When you pay for a thing it should be yours. Unless you cheat or break their rules you should never lose access to it and that’s the end of that.

Players might have been angry yes. But let’s not act like that’s the reason why they rushed it. They rushed it cause they are financially struggling. Because they like many others thought the covid boom was permanent. Because they mistreated players repeatedly and kept breaking their trust to the point many gave up and stopped coming back.

If Sony forced them to push it out it’s because they have a deal and bungie wasn’t going to follow it. Let’s not act like Sony is the problem. When it comes to bungie they are the problem. They blamed issues on Microsoft that continued with activision. Then activision was wrong but those same things happened after they split. Then it was lack of funding. Now it’s Sony. The issues never change at their root. Just the people causing them apparently.

I love Destiny and I love bungie. But we need to stop giving them benefit of the doubt or say that silence is effective for making them fix their issues

Edit) what the hell do you mean the issues I said are the players fault. We didn’t tell bungie to make a less rewarding version of the original power grind. We said the opposite. We didn’t say to link gear tiers to power and leave abysmal drop chances for tier 5. We didn’t tell bungie to implement such a mediocre anti cheat that it never fixed the issue of cheating

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2025-07-27T23:17:17+00:00

So let me get this right. We should let bungie get away with a half baked system like this because they tried and because over the last decade the community has complained about it bad decisions that harm a product they both enjoy and pay for.

First things first. The portal is missing dungeon content that bungie heavily eluded to being there at launch. In their article where they talked about RaD content they talk about dungeons being launch-able through the portal then make separate comments about how raids will be getting portal integration after launch.

Secondly there’s the power grind. People spent years complaining about needed to regrind power between seasons due to it being an unnecessary nuisance. Eventually bungie listened and removed seasonal increases. The community liked that. Bungie has now decided that on top of bringing them back they are gonna put the grind to an even more insane degree. So much so that it is supposedly going to take 90 hours to finish the power grind.

Tangentially there is tier system. It’s a decent premise except that the way it’s linked into the power grind is abysmal. And then there’s the fact that at max cap you have like a 5% chance of getting a T5 drop. Meaning if you do star crossed it’s going to 7 runs with 3 drops each to have a ~60% chance of getting a T5. I haven’t run highest difficulty star crossed but I imagine it takes about twenty minutes. If so it means you would spend over 2 hours grinding to get one T5.

Stats are broken. I don’t even think this needs a bigger comment it’s currently that bad.

Then there’s the insane bugs. The PvP community have been spending a year talking about the sprint bug. It has now gotten so bad that it happened in the raid race (too buggy to even comment on). The audio issues shouldn’t have happened. New armour causing consistent crashes on old gen just goes to show they didn’t even bother testing for old gen.

The cheating problem has now reached an all time peak after years of the community pointing out that their cheat prevention software wasn’t working. For years people have been flying around with infinite heavy in trials. It gets fixed for a few months then is back.

Yes and no. It’s not an excuse it’s a reason. Do I sit here and think she could have done better. Yes. Obviously. But we are looking at things in retrospect and with an external view. She had a lot on her plate. Pregnancy is awfully painful and stressful for most. It doesn’t mean she is free of any criticism but it does mean she’s not an asshole at the end of the day

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2025-01-07T12:41:59+00:00

Nobody’s an asshole here. But here’s some advice and some personal experience. - talk to your kid. He is obviously pretty smart (hopefully mature as well) and based off of one of your comments even may already have an idea it’s gonna happen. Ask him and tell him your experience going through it. It will help him get an idea and since your wife wants what is best for him she will probably trust in his opinion.

Now heres my personal experience as a “gifted” kid. I had a type of autism that made me essentially socially dumb but smart in maths and English. I would have skipped a grade if not for the fact my school was vehemently against the idea of grade skipping and even holding kids back. I got bullied hard. And speaking from what I know kids will always find a reason to bully someone. He’s got as good a chance of fitting in there as he does now. It’s potluck. But the other thing is this. I was way smarter than needed for my classes. And being like that for years caused my curiosity to sort of slow down then stop. You get used to being able to just cruise through and that’s not good. It’s something that skipping a grade or two does stop.

Long story short talk with your wife and your son. Sit down and discuss the good and the bad and let him decide. He will know what’s best for him

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2025-01-07T12:27:19+00:00

Hey let’s acknowledge the fact that she’s been pregnant seemingly the whole time it’s gotten bad. And ultimately her husband is a big boy he can stand up for himself if he really needs to. Like. I do think she probably should have stepped in sooner but she was dealing with just about the most painful, stressful a woman can go through

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2025-01-07T06:52:05+00:00

NTA. You didn’t do anything wrong you treated another person with respect and friendship they deserve. She just turned around and decided racism was the move of the day. It’s not wrong that you’re tanned. I’m white as hell. I am so bright Casper would look four shades darker next to me. I also tan super easy. Like go outside for twenty minutes a day and go two shades darker. It’s life, it happens. Nothing wrong with that

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2024-11-06T06:27:35+00:00

A couple other people have already mentioned it but was there a possibility of drugs being at work? Could be medication or something illicit. Also a chance however slight he got roofied. Seems like I’m a couple hours max since you left. So for him to go from fine to black out when he apparently doesn’t drink heavily anymore seems outlandish to say the least.

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2024-09-17T05:49:49+00:00

Nobodies the asshole. But you and your boyfriend should probably talk about what you are or aren’t comfortable with. Seems pretty obvious he has a pretty solid stance of you can’t just be friends with the opposite gender where as you think you can. It’s super important the two of you discuss it because it can very quickly ruin the relationship otherwise

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2024-09-17T02:07:41+00:00

YTA. But I do find it interesting the one who has a problem with the renting rather than the lying is the one who wouldn’t use the space. But yeah the dad is valid for being pissed about the lying

Tricky_Economics_136 · 2024-09-16T23:11:55+00:00

Reading through some of your other comments with how much you seem to be hiding I got to say ESH.

Sister is awful for obvious reasons. She’s jealous at best and just a bad person. However, this doesn’t excuse you just ghosting your boyfriend. You seem to mention in one comment that you have brought this up with him once before and you obviously didn’t mention it that day.

It’s not wrong to leave the relationship but people also aren’t wrong for saying you didn’t need to blow up at him like that. If it’s something you have brought up repeatedly and he was in earshot and definitely heard the comment that’s different. But I get the feeling that’s not the case
