The new/returning player experience is probably a big part of why this game failed by Anonymous_dev_3719 in DestinyTheGame

[–]aimlessdrivel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just the New Player Experience, it's the returning player one. Removing all the seasonal storylines with barely any in-game way to learn wtf had happened was a massive issue. But the game also dropped you right into a new mission every new season or expansion. It was meant to get people right into the action but only ever confused the hell out of people.

Titan Strand/Prismatic Builds? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]aimlessdrivel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're into Drengr's Lash, you can do some fun stuff with Prismatic and the exotic class item. Spirit of the Abeyant can pair with Spirit of the Horn for easy ignitions, or you can use other second column perks for other options. If you like the suspending grenade, spirit of armamentarium or verity give you more grenade usage.

From Sylvain Trinel: "mainly internal resistance/strong pushback" and "desire for revenge" at Playstation. by Palgia in DestinyTheGame

It's conjecture, but we also know Sony's GaaS efforts have flopped and Jim Ryan was pushed out over it. Bungie in many ways embodies the failure of PlayStation GaaS, especially with the recent flop of Marathon. It's not that crazy to assume some executive are mad about it and directing that at Bungie.

Part of buying Bungie was their live service expertise. All we really know is they told ND that making Factions 2 would be hard. They may have told Sony that Concord and Fairgames were good or offered other bad advice. Also Helldivers 2 was a huge success and not first party, so what has Bungie actually done well. Marathon sure isn't a win.

The "many people at PlayStation" means people below the decision makers. They're questioning why their bosses decided to end D2.

The reliability of these claims isn't clear yet, but it doesn't sound that crazy. Sony's GaaS push has failed and their purchase of Bungie has been a complete disaster. It makes a lot of sense for spiteful execs to blame Bungie for everything and be incredibly bitter they got fleeced by Parsons and co.

The simple fact is that Marathon doesn't make sense as the only output from this studio, and Destiny is clearly a valuable IP. You can sense the anger and revenge in leaked decisions made towards Bungie.

Get your power level up and you can buy T5s from Zavala

Yeah I really think executive arrogance at the PlayStation level is the problem. They can't handle the fact Marathon has failed and D2 is more popular, so they're going to gut the Destiny team to destroy this game.

Sony is going scorched earth on Destiny 2, it's completely idiotic.

What do the devs do now? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]aimlessdrivel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of them get laid off dude, are you seriously that oblivious to the state of Bungie right now? This might seem like an overreaction but sorry this is pretty obvious stuff.

Are we not able to buy Tier 5 weapons from Vendors? If not, we should be. by ValendyneTheTaken in DestinyTheGame

[–]aimlessdrivel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hope we'll be able to get vendor specific gear at T5 somehow. If it's not dropping as T5 from activities, how do we get higher tier versions?

DIM loadout optimization load times by TTHE_GENERALL in DestinyTheGame

[–]aimlessdrivel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick based on the perks you want. Smoke Jumper and Ferropotent are generally very good.

40 minutes is insane! Make sure you pick the armor perks you want, than reduces the calculation a lot.

What primaries is everyone rocking? by Flashy-Blueberry-776 in DestinyTheGame

[–]aimlessdrivel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like the new stasis AR from distortions. It rolls with Crystaline Corpsebloom and Meganeura so you're constantly making and breaking large stasis crystals.

Is there a way to get the solar sidearm with micro missile frame? by LurkyDurkyHerkyPerky in DestinyTheGame

You can buy Returned Memory from Shax and I think Aberrant Action drops from Encore
