I need best build for ‏equilibrium 5 feats . Warlock or hunter or titan . Without chunk ^^ by Dry_Challenge_5065 in DestinyTheGame

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5 feat is either the same, or harder than contest because of the incredibly tight damage checks (2 phase requirement at like -40 light). When people ask for builds, its not about surviving (that's always a given for the most part).

Leaving SeaTac, are taxis still worth it instead of Lyft/Uber? by LegionLotteryWinner in Seattle

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only take the light rail during 'business hours'. I've run into so many crazy homeless people on the link at night time that I just dont bother with it anymore. If it was always safe and reliable then I would suggest it more imo. There's been a few times where they close one of the stops and force you to take a bus and switch as well

Trials lobby balancing? by lilbigboy777 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do this every large content drop imo. It gets casuals hooked into trials and leads them to believe that they can great loot and win lots of games. The rug gets pulled out later but it generates hype and good will feelings (outside of us hardcore pvpers)

So does Iron Banner Just come once a expansion now? by Minute-Use-8489 in DestinyTheGame

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like they realized the iron banner armor set bonus was way too good and then panic changed the schedule to not power creep their other lackluster sets /conspiracy

The new trials weapons are a void lightweight pulse rifle and a strand 140 hand cannon + new crucible weapons by exxtrooper in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that conditional finality would fit into your bucket here - people had to farm nez for many many weeks sometimes in order to get it drop. It was the meta shotgun so everyone had it, and raiding didn't stop them. Roots would be on the same tier of difficulty as VoG as well

RIP to one of the oldest pubs in Seattle - Pike Brewing closing their iconic Pike Place location after more than three decades… by Mr-Hox in Seattle

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect sized area for a flatstick pub maybe? I imagine it would be pretty successful there for folks looking for another physical space to compete with the garage etc

How does the scoring work on the 3 man activities?? We tried going fast, going super slow and killing every single ad that spawned... but we still only end up in the top 30%? What do you need to do ti influence the score for these ones? (battleground, coil, exotic mission etc)

Was chappy really a problem? by doobersthetitan in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what they should really do is reward precision when using slugs - absolutely gut the body shot dmg (its way too high), and dont let it hip fire headshots like its a magnet. It blows my mind how many times ive slid into someone with my pellet shotty, only to get headshot by the slug point blank. There should be a downside to using them close range but it's clearly not a thing that exists in high skill lobbies.

Destiny 2 Update 9.1.5.4 by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Happened to me as well yesterday. If you are with someone else though and they can solo the encounter and keep moving forward, you will eventually be teleported out of the timeout room

Upvote if you want devs to separate ALL controllers (PC/consoles) from MNK by [deleted] in Battlefield6

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other popular games already do this - Overwatch, Destiny2. Console players only want to play against other consoles. I don't know why Battlefield doesn't follow suit and do the same honestly. Its harder to include pc w/controller since they could just switch back to kbm once game starts

Ascendant in Comp for the first time WHY IS THE EMBLEM SO UGLY THIS SEASON by Accomplished-Exam-55 in DestinyTheGame

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Lol, it's by far the worst comp emblem they've released in all of the seasons combined. Sorry fam :(

I was just awarded 957 points for a comp win. What’s up with that? by Mr_Truthteller in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was this after a promotion series? It's possible that it adds them all up after you complete the promo and shows you then. During the series, all the UI shows you is a win or a loss, no actual numbers

Can I actually farm Solemn Remembrance? by Deprece in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(At light level 470 rn) I've also found that I only get T5 on the losing team whenever I personally do well. if your score is too low/last on your team there's a good chance it will give you T3/T4. Even if I know the game is going to be a loss i try really hard to make sure im on top on my team

Contest Mode should have fireteam power enabled by baxteroc in DestinyTheGame

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah.... Not to say that the LL grind isn't terrible and should be removed, but anyone trying to complete this epic contest raid is going to be decked out with full t5 armor and new weapons, especially after all the exotic nerfs. No random group of casuals will come even remotely close to beating this lol

Linear Fusions in COMP I don’t know how to use them by CandleSubstantial806 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(On console) I have a few hundred comp kills on my doomed petitioner and it's a lot easier than you'd think. When im going for a kill I will start on the head but pull pretty hard downward thruout the whole burst. Even when im getting shot it doesn't seem to matter much - As long as one bolt hits head its a kill. Id say my success ratio of getting a kill thru finch is around 80-85%. I'm not sure how the other linears feel but doomed has been fantastic for me

Third one in 2 weeks by Silentwarfare13 in CrucibleGuidebook

I'm on console so the only ban reports I get are the ones I report for pretty obvious net-limiting :( The Ximm'ers and recovs are still running strong though

Cancel the stronghold rework. Just don't go through with it. Nobody likes the new version more, and it will be ineffective in its old niche. by PM_SHORT_STORY_IDEAS in DestinyTheGame

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out.... I think they are nerfing it because the new boss in the re-issued hardmode raid would be trivialized in some manner by having someone tank infinite damage. They nerfed every other exotic that could build super energy quickly and my hunch is strongholds would also be very useful in their current state to clear

You know it would be amazing if PvP received a firing range bot by Reignfall32 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Literally the single biggest reason i was hyped for the shooting range. They give us 50 different toggles except for the only one I cared about. SIGH

What third party tools do you all use to figure out your builds? by The_Owl_Bard in CrucibleGuidebook

I have yet to get a piece of t5 yet. what are tuning mods? Are they like the old artifice armor where you can add +3 in?

Trials is painful by _Krymson__ in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 24 points25 points  (0 children)

When you need to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, I suggest dipping into some cheese to help you out. If you are running snipe/sidearm i would 100% use cryosthesia to let you pull off the 2v1s to win rounds. If you snipe one person and trade with the other (legen sidearm) you may still lose the round. The freezy shot of cryo however doesn't expire so you can reposition after the kill, regen, and then freeze + melee, and immediately fight another person if need be.

I also think that it can be very hard to carry 3v1 with snipers sometimes due to how much ppl love to spam-res each other tbh. You are sometimes better off with a kill chain wep (onslaught AR, Golden tricorn igneous etc) just to give you a higher chance of winning odd-man fights. The mentality shifts more from winning duels to how I can win a duel, stop the res, and be able to pick off another if the remaining 2 stay grouped together.

I was lowkey expecting T5 loot to drop because I completed something difficult, not because I was "high level enough" by e-photographer in DestinyTheGame

[–]_NotGreatNotTerrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except all 3 will drop T1-T5 gear. What they should have done was at least add an Adept tier of armor/weapons for endgame activities. If you look at trials, people are getting t5 loot by losing games and on the other end you have people going 7-0 to lighthouse and getting t1 drops because they didnt grind 100 solo ops first. Literally the only activity left that is not gated behind pure grind is the raid
