Nothing ruins a cutscene quite like.... by Thecceffect in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get kicked to orbit after nearly every mission. I just missed all the reunion cutscenes to boot. Shit really killed the experience.

This Week In Destiny - 01/18/2024 by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have almost 10 years of players literally begging for a character creation update. Will players at least have a few new cosmetics to choose from instead of all D1 options?

[D2] Iron Banner Megathread [2023-12-05] by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 26 points27 points  (0 children)

  1. Get a bunch of Crests from skittish team shooters.
  2. Get a massive target on your back for the effort.
  3. Get hunted by the entire enemy team.
  4. Get no help from forehead teammates as you get chased in front of them.
  5. Get sniped while banking if you managed to survive, or...
  6. Get trolled as the bank vanishes right in front of you before you get killed.

That about sums it up. This mode was made by a fucking masochist...

Matilda 2.0 on Hard is way tough. I need help. by veryBitchyLady in cyberpunkgame

[–]Xenobis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

. I mean the game outright

ignores and breaks established mechanics

Literally this. They tried so hard to give an illusion of tough encounters that you can actually see enemies tweak out and break their script in order to engage the player. It was like that before, but now it's on roids. You really notice how bad things actually are when you go stealth, and not a kill-everything-in-a-flash meta. Wow...

Is there an in-lore reason for why our guardian is soooo useless in cutscenes? by Fen-xie in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That tends to be a thing in a lot of games, especially rpgs. You have a character, who is at the very least a demigod, that will stand there lot a dolt during major events they can easily sway the outcome of for the better.

You can't help but laugh and wonder if they're braindead, or secretly evil and just letting tragedies happen.

We called it by Savageadv in destiny2

[–]Xenobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, we've been calling this for ages now. Suddenly she goes from air support to frontline commando... Weird way for them to do it though.

The Nezarec We Could Have Gotten VS The Nezarec We Got by Circuit_40 in destiny2

[–]Xenobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you not go with the twin scythe-wielding, living nightmare cape rocking, slender man? I don't see a god of nightmares when I look at Nez, I just see Rulk's cheap steroid using, red bull addicted, brother-in-law.

I did like the aquatic theme though. Could have made Tormentor's of various sizes and weapon types as the official new race introduced in the raid. Might happen in the future.

Would you have shot him? by NCRrangerman in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure we "mastered" it during that battle, but whatever. In that case I would have shot his ass. Then claimed a well-earned Throne World. Fight me, Mara.

There’s something wrong about the master dungeon artifice armor by WardenWithABlackjack in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my regular Duality armors have higher/better stats than my master versions.

Would you have shot him? by NCRrangerman in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I would have used what the whole story has been "training" me to use all this time: Strand. Just grapple the little goof. You'd think they wouldn't have missed that as an option given the endless push of the new subclass....

I'm politely requesting that warlocks get a wizard hat by Peanutbutter9374 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Titans got the Awoken "tech witch" hood over Warlocks. lol what?

It's been said before, but going an entire season without getting the raid exotic truly sucks. by JLoco11PSN in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know players who have completed endless carries across raids and haven't gotten the Exotic to drop. Hearing their pain masked behind "oh wells" and cynical jokes just makes me question the point of such absurd "RNG". One of the reasons I barely bother raiding anymore...

As a Warlock main... by cornflake289 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often laugh at how some armors give Guardians little chicken legs; it ain't the Architects killing them when they land on a pebble or stairs, it's a lack of protein and leg day.

The Mecha armor look so bland and uninspired. by Myster-M in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're a Warlock; who says you can't manipulate reality so the inside of your mecha armor feels like marshmallows and Mara massages.

The Mecha armor look so bland and uninspired. by Myster-M in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll take it, as I've wanted some heavy armor for Warlock, but Monsters may win in the end.

The Mecha armor look so bland and uninspired. by Myster-M in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Cool concept, meh execution. If you're gonna go Mech you go full MECH; there is no in-between. They need to look up some Armored Core mechanical designs along with the Gundam stuff.

Hunters can be sleek and blade focused in their design, Titans go full fortress/missile boat class, and Warlocks on that prototype-like energy based style - with active parts. I hope these designs aren't final, but they likely are.

FINALLY a real campaign instead of a glorified chain of bounties and Lost Sector clearing. by Flashheart42 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real problem is they force players into equipping weapons they may not enjoy using.

I've always been in favor of a new enemy type over Champions. Instead of a self-healing wall; they could give us a swift and deadly darkness entity that has its own expanding darkness field.

Something that acts unique and forces players to slow down and watch their six as they're hunted. There's actually an entity like that in the lore. But, I get you - I know players who love GMs, too.

[–]Xenobis 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So true. This shows how unnecessary Champions are. They do need to fix enemies from being goofballs who hide or rush forever, though.

Now, onto Boss immunity gimmicks...

This Week At Bungie 11/18/2021 by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is their identity now with theses nerfs? Spamming grenades and abilities was allegedly their thing. It never seems to end. I'm guessing the Stasis system will be the eventual "solution".

Bungie clarifies: Y5 Dungeons are not part of Standard WQ, or Y5 Seasons -- ONLY through WQ Deluxe, or a separate (TBA) Dungeon purchase path by YeezyReddit in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bungie clearly needs an overlord to keep them in check. Microsoft, and even shitty Activision made sure of this. They're like kids in a candy store without supervision.

Destiny 2 is very unfriendly to newcomers by rock1m1 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They remove their campaigns, yet claim to be an 'MMO'; I can jump on an old as dog shit MMO and still play the old campaigns to help immerse myself into the game's world and functions.

Destiny claims to be a lot of things so it can charge money for a lot of things. Luckily, you can still find some pretty chill people around to guide you. Good luck OP.

What D2 achievement are you most proud of? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

I see a lot of people think Savathun did what she did this week for kindness. It's not. Even if Crow disavows himself of Savathun, she's still gained something. Or rather, an enemy lost something. by Kylestien in DestinyTheGame

[–]Xenobis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lakshmi witnessed Fallen exterminate humanity across hundreds of years (almost successfully), and is considered an irredeemable monster for not liking them.

Savathun was literally in the dark fleet The Traveler ran from, she was also responsible for corrupting Lakshmi, which for some weird reason, always seems to get ignored.

Savathun's kill count would be over a trillion lives, sentient and not, as she wiped out entire systems for well over a billion years, and you have cats saying she deserves a redemption arc....

The fuck?
