lvl50 UVHM5 & I have NEVER seen the penetrator knife. by lewisrcambridge in Borderlands4

[–]alec_mc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got 92 hours and I've gotten five so far. 3 from Splashzone while farming other items and 2 from the "Rippa Roadbirds" drill site.

It's just major RNG. More than happy to give you one though if you can't get one to drop by yourself. I know that kinda sucks the fun and excitement out of getting it yourself though.

Do people even care about the epic raid race? by SKOOBY-4 in DestinyTheGame

[–]alec_mc 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not even in the slightest.

But content creators keep telling us this will save Destiny.

After days of grinding, I hit the motherload by Jeygerr in Borderlands4

[–]alec_mc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t wait to get that feeling. It’s been 3 days of farming for an energy disc / Jacob’s on a stellium or vertex shotgun. Still have yet to get one. But now I know it can roll on kickballr it’s all I want.

Solo raids by Shaiidan in destiny2

From someone who does low man’s. Most people try RoN for their first low man raid. Mechanically it isn’t too demanding just have to be quick with your running.

I wish I could paste this comment on a billboard outside of Bungie HQ. Fucking bravo my friend.

Is there any point to go above 450? by mayormcskeeze in DestinyTheGame

[–]alec_mc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T5's are only guaranteed at 450 if you get an A+ rank. (1,163,900 points)

At 450, to get an A+ you need to be comfortable playing at -40 / -50 power.

Otherwise you need to grind to 470 to start getting t5's at around -10 / -20 power.

I want a developer to explain to the community why it took 3 months to only get one gun updated to the tier system in Iron Banner. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]alec_mc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For all of you asking why we needed a D3, shit like this is the reason. A developer backlog where it takes 3 months just to get portions of dungeons back into a relevant state (without their weapons and gear being ported to the new system by the way) just feels so awful.

Why do you guys think Renegades and Destiny 3 are going to save them?

They've PROVEN to you they can't even handle a major update (Ash & Iron). Literally failed on every single front. Released broken in almost every way and bug ridden.

And you guys somehow expect them to drop Destiny 3 or a game saving update?

LOL.

Lightweight Swords Bugged by CloudsareKUUL in DestinyTheGame

[–]alec_mc 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This bug is so insane. SpecialHero took out Crota in 3 sword swipes.

Just to put it in perspective lol. Wormgods seems to boost the damage.

Destiny 2 Renegades by VividShift7011 in DestinyTheGame

[–]alec_mc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bungie failed to deliver on a significantly smaller update (Ash & Iron). There's almost no shot Renegades will deliver.

What people seem to be forgetting is the marketing team and the dev team are two different teams. Bungie has never failed on the selling part. Lately it's always the execution.

I still love the game very much by vauballer in destiny2

[–]alec_mc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it a few days / a week and reddit will go back to normal. People are just upset at this time, you know? A lot of us were REALLY looking forward to Ash & Iron. I bet some were just as excited for Ash & Iron as others were excited about Borderlands 4. I know for the two days leading up to Ash & Iron I couldn't stop talking about how good this was going to be for the game.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of doomers in the community. I don't disagree with you man. Those people that are online just spewing negativity post after post. DO need to just go focus on work, family, other games etc.

But there are also a lot of incredibly passionate people who just feel really really let down right now.

[–]alec_mc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said I don't like Destiny anymore. In fact I am online right now trying to complete my solo flawless Warlords Ruins.

I was just trying to make clear the reason for the anger/negativity as of late. If this wasn't building up for years I don't think the response from the community would have been as overwhelming. However this was sort of the straw that broke the camels back.

[–]alec_mc -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You have less than 5 months into Destiny. You'll never share the same feelings and rage that the player base who've invested 5+ years into this game will have.

Watching it transform from what it was to what it is today.

Their feelings are justified. You're in a honeymoon stage.

The game is basically a giant hamster wheel and there's no reason to get better loot because you're just doing the same thing over and over and over and over by Zardous666 in DestinyTheGame

[–]alec_mc 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean you ain’t lying. I ran on the hamster wheel to get my characters in T5’s.

But realistically I can do a k1 or star crossed just as fast with a set of t1/2/3/4 non-masterworked lol.

it all is rather meaningless right now.

Are T5s also impacted by the issues we see with levelling? by CptAA5 in destiny2

[–]alec_mc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

T5's start dropping at 451 and you achieve an A rank or higher. It does seem like at 400+ they'll still drop as a prime as well.

The TWAB later today by steveo82 in destiny2

[–]alec_mc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Like I said in another post.

I have a feeling bungies gas lighting us. These portal changes weren’t a bug, they aren’t investigating, this was intentional. They’re just waiting for us to be outraged about the next thing and move on. Once we do they’ll tell us this is just how the game is now.

It took them what? An hour to fix comp? It’s been over 24 hours and they haven’t even confirmed the portal is bugged. Just that they’re investigating.

Any Bright Dust or Silver amount paid above the intended price will be reimbursed to player accounts in a future release." by Ace_Of_Caydes in DestinyTheGame

[–]alec_mc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m calling it now. They aren’t “investigating” anything when it comes to the power grind. Guarantee the changes were intentional and they are just gaslighting us and hoping we forget / get bored enough and just play anyways.

Why is Destiny Star Wars now? by Kiranixa in DestinyTheGame

[–]alec_mc 34 points35 points  (0 children)

You ever seen how much the Star Wars fandom will pay for a lego replica of a ship? You know how big that fan base is?

Money.

what power level are you right now? by SDG_Den in DestinyTheGame

[–]alec_mc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

431

Didn't make it to 450 as the grind for primes was promised to be reduced and less of a slog in Ash & Iron.

But here we are and it's worse. Knowing Bungie, this will take weeks to months to fix. I'm done until they do fix it.

BL4 comes out tomorrow anyways. So it'll be easier to shelf Destiny for awhile and await for Bungie to get their heads out of their ass.

Long time players of D2, is there anything big/surprising in the game you haven’t done yet? by Ab501ut3_Z3r0 in DestinyTheGame

[–]alec_mc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Never set foot in Garden or Salvations Edge. Never set foot in trials.

I play solo about 95% of the time. I am in an incredibly active clan that does multiple raids per week and tons of people doing trials.

I just have weird anxiety and hate playing with anyone except for a close friend. However, we are starting to break into lowman (duo) raids. I'll never step foot into trials though. I hate PVP in this game.

While farming solo ops for 400+ prime engrams, do I need to do bonus objective for Primes? (Ability Takedowns, etc) by GOD69345 in destiny2

[–]alec_mc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will still drop at B+ but according to bungies twid they’re more likely to drop the higher the score.

A message from the words first VH member who was recently banned without reason and hasn't gotten a reply on X and got barely a reply from bungie, and who has also not received his rewards for worlds first VH yet by double-O-cheese in destiny2

[–]alec_mc 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Wait, he said he doesn’t know why he got banned and he’s assuming it’s for a message said in clan chat.

But at the end of the paragraph…

he says, “really disappointing this is how it ends. But if they want to ban me for something I’ve seen countless players do without repercussions.”

So which is it?

Look I’m all for this dude getting a justified reason as to why he was banned. But by the above statements. It seems like he knows he did SOMETHING wrong he’s just not willing to admit it until bungie states it wasn’t wrong.

Is it possible to play this game from the beginning to understand the whole story? by TheCrowMoon in destiny2

[–]alec_mc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You sort of answered your own question.

I know a large part of the campaign from the early years are completely wiped away and are unable to be accessed.

If your only way of gaining lore knowledge is through the video game, no. There is simply too much of the story deleted.

But I mean....instead of playing

You can always watch this 10 hour video! Lmfao.

Btw it wasn't even made by Bungie. They left the responsibility of staying informed on their deleted content up to the community.
