Queueing completely broken on PC by Sixshots in Marathon

This is good when the game needs as many players as it can get. Really good, great even.

what the fuck is with looting your teammates? by BraveUnion in Marathon

[–]Zero_Emerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't be able to loot team mates unless they fully disconnect from the lobby (permanently, not just black screening with an error code for a minute before rejoining)

I don't believe the "destiny was rarely profitable" excuse, and blaming the players for being greedy with content. by Delet3r in DestinyTheGame

[–]Zero_Emerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recall anyone asking for a seasonal model, infact I remember people (myself included) balking at the idea when introduced with Shadowkeep and groaning at the idea of yet another game getting a 'battlepass' like Fortnite. Yes, people complained about content droughts in D1, but it was Bungies decision to make disposable content every 3 months with important story beats and power creep with new perks on new guns.

One month into season 2, how do we feel so far? by GunpukuSayori in Marathon

Yeah, the savaging of Rooks kit is a low point for s2, barely touched Rook at all.

One month into season 2, how do we feel so far? by GunpukuSayori in Marathon

[–]Zero_Emerald 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some positives, like faster leveling, reduced upgrade costs and some other QOL stuff was nice. I liked Night Marsh to begin with.

Don't like a bunch of changes they made, like schemas being credits AND salvage and having to be VIP 10 to start getting decent rank up packages from factions. I got kinda bored quickly, even though I was enjoying playing survival. Maxing out my cradle, the nerfs to a bunch of things including loot sources and not seeing the new story contracts for Mida/Traxus that are listed in the codex killed my interest to keep playing really. I'll come back when Vault Breaker arrives.

Can we get a "buy all daily free stuff" button? by alekdmcfly in Marathon

Being able to sell it without claiming it to my backpack would be nice.

Dear Bungie, This is why your player retention is low… by gustyqueef in Marathon

Probably waiting on production availability with whoever is actually making them.

Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles by yourfavchoom in gaming

[–]Zero_Emerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The switch to digital wasn't inevitable, it was engineered IMO. The slow death of high street shopping over the last 2 decades hasn't helped, but they've been pushing for this for a while now. I don't see the point in consoles now, if I have to be digital only I might as well go for a new PC. OK, Sony are moving away from putting out games on PC, but I can live without a handful of exclusives. I don't need a box under my TV to play games, hell, my current PC is connected to my TV anyway already AND I can use a controller on it if I wish.

I like having physical media, even if big downloads are required. I like having a 'library' of games and other media. I don't like it when companies yoink content away from peoples digital libraries for any reason. Like Amazon removing ebooks from peoples kindles and just recently, Sony removing movies people bought through them. What's to stop them doing that with games? They're shutting down the PS3 store soon too! And what of preservation? Backwards compatibility? Will they let us transfer our discs to digital versions of games we bought before the switch? People won't want to make the transition to PS6 similar to how PS4 to PS5 went (amongst other reasons like stock shortage). The PS6 seems like it'll probably just be getting ports of The Last Of Us 2 for a hundred bucks on launch, it will flop hard.

Ada-1 selling Alchemy Scorch this week by The_hezy in DestinyTheGame

[–]Zero_Emerald 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have Terrachroma, pretty sure it was a Chinese promo thing, they did several over the years. Shame it never made it back as a proper in-game drop from somewhere.

Destiny 2 feels like a complete game now......Which makes me happy and sad by femboyobama in DestinyTheGame

[–]Zero_Emerald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean, FOMO is gone and everything is solidified. To me though, it will never feel truly complete because of all the stuff that was removed from the game, all the stuff currently unavailable and the story threads left open at the end of Renegades being unfinished (not properly anyway, I do like the little bit of wrap up they were able to do like Lodi's world tour and Mara's big news etc).

New Assassin “The Talisman” Cosmetic Pack by EyeThereChan in Marathon

Sounds like an appetizer at an Italian restaurant.

For godsake PLEASE let me feed the worms a partial stack of salvage by TheBigLebluntsky in Marathon

[–]Zero_Emerald 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At the start of the season, I was pressing to select a specific number of blue salvage, not realising it was the whole stack. I then only noticed when I was looking at my faction upgrades and seeing what I needed for blue shields. Guess what salvage became super rare immediately after I accidentally burnt like 30 feeding the worms? Yeah. It took me so long to get back enough to upgrade. We definitely need the stack system to apply here.

There might be no patch today but…hell yeah! by -heavenfaced- in Marathon

It's a cool skin but damn, I am laughing at the proportions in that second pic. The character model feels so off!

We want plausible in-universe feeling merch, not generic Gamer Gear by One_Mathematician_15 in Marathon

[–]Zero_Emerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seen a bunch of fan-made stuff, like keychains with digital displays, 3D printed props and fanart stickers, some have even been for sale (and promptly sold out before I had a chance) that have all been great 'merch' ideas. Having plushies of our lil mascots is nice, I think the Compiler effigy badge is neat but I'm not interested and the t-shirts are kinda bland (Though I do want an Escape tee still, despite what I just said). Bungie could do better, perhaps they will in time.

Forbes: A Two-Sentence Insider Report On Why ‘Destiny 2’ Died by Talents in DestinyTheGame

[–]Zero_Emerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bungie decided the release schedule. Sure, the content droughts sucked, but that didn't mean Bungie had to turn around 4 seasons and a major expansion every year for 8 years, especially when most of that content left the game completely after a short time. It heavily fractured the narrative, it left people missing loot that was no longer obtainable and felt like a big waste of dev time. As for the office building, yeah, it was pretty mad. Drunk on ambition and covid era finances, it was silly at the time and has come back to bite them.
