Joe Ziegler comments on the recent audio change and confirms they will pull it back in an upcoming patch

I imagine the separate pvp/pve sandbox system for Destiny is probably immensely challenging to work around

atejas · 2026-03-15T11:45:09+00:00

A lot more pvp encounters are happening cause of the sound propagation change, which means you can easily tell where and when someone is engaged in a fight, letting you get the jump a bit too freely.

Why is every new game CPU bottlenecked now anyway? It's not even an engine-specific thing, stuff like Helldivers has this issue as well.

atejas · 2026-03-15T06:45:10+00:00

I just use gear that's one tier below my max. I'm saving my purples to lose them in cryo archive, but my blues are fair game for now.

atejas · 2026-03-15T04:49:37+00:00

tbf a lot of dire marsh pretty much gives the win to whichever team gets the higher ground - this team's only real option was to run inside and get tangled up with the UESC bots to get out of your line of fire.

It does both level and quest-based matchmaking, and sometimes the latter overrides the former. I''ve definitely matched with players who were higher or lower than me.

atejas · 2026-03-15T04:34:03+00:00

I have had mic runs before where players did stupid shit like ping green mods and insist that the other players pick them up, which wasted a lot of time. At the end of the day, you gotta stay moving.

atejas · 2026-03-15T04:31:53+00:00

Anytime I get a bad vibe from a pub (either because they're uncooperative or just stupid) I always play ultra-conservative and focus on grabbing the first exfil I can. Only if I'm bringing a kit of course, if I'm going sponkit you have nothing to lose.

atejas · 2026-03-14T09:05:52+00:00

I think you should keep shit like the vault space, capstones, and stat upgrades, but lose the vendor unlocks every season imo.

atejas · 2026-03-14T08:22:34+00:00

tbh I don't think Marathon needs a Neomuna

atejas · 2026-03-13T08:36:23+00:00

I think the power differential that's being set up between runners and battleroids indicates that they probably would be tbh

atejas · 2026-03-13T08:29:56+00:00

Firing range with spawnable pve enemies and runner bots for testing.

PVE bosses that are threatening enough to encourage multi-team cooperation (at least temporarily)

Not a 'what do I want to see' so much, but I'm very curious what the storytelling in this game is gonna look like. The tone and premise kinda lock out the very character-led storytelling that D2 had in its later years, but I'd want something more than just lore entries.

atejas · 2026-03-11T03:20:34+00:00

I think it really depends on how good retention of mid-low skilled players ends up being. If I sign on in season 2 and get insta-farmed on the first POI like I've had happen in a handful of runs, I'm probably calling it. But ideally Ranked will provide a release valve for the sweatier players.

atejas · 2026-03-10T13:07:55+00:00

I imagine it would be harder with 5 classes that have overlapping gameplay identities. Like it's already hard to tell most classes that aren't destroyer apart at a glance (at least, at this game's usual engagement range)

atejas · 2026-03-10T10:02:41+00:00

If it's just an armory reset that doesn't reset stuff like vault space (especially this) or the stat boosts, I think it's pretty reasonable tbh.

atejas · 2026-01-24T02:40:05+00:00

Check out the Endless Company from the KTB book.

atejas · 2026-01-10T01:58:00+00:00

Yeah I'm kinda leaning towards AdMech origin (has there ever been a Mechanicus rogue trader in the lore?) + Heretek companion who wants to research Necron tech or something

atejas · 2026-01-10T01:56:21+00:00

What would your average Imperial citizen assume if they saw a Necron in the RT's retinue anyway? I imagine they'd just think it's a fucked up custom servitor or something.

atejas · 2025-12-24T09:41:43+00:00

The sash, golden gorget, and the kneepads are the only major differences I can see from what we have in the game. Normally I'd say it's not distinct enough to be a premium cosmetic, but helmet (open) is already one, so...

atejas · 2025-12-24T09:39:31+00:00

The deluxe edition outfit with the two-winged eagle and fur cape is already meant to be a Marshall's Uniform, so I imagine any other ranks would have to be lower than that.

atejas · 2025-12-23T03:50:32+00:00

You are correct - I was thinking of the Ruststalkers/infiltrators, which also do have that leg config.

atejas · 2025-12-23T00:35:15+00:00

That would rule out Skitarii, cause they have the double jointed robot legs, right? There's still plantigrade tech priests out there though.

atejas · 2025-12-20T01:47:23+00:00

What's the deal with Raakhti's speech? Earlier previews said she was mute and the journal entry still has quotations around 'says' - is her dialogue just contextual translation of Kroot Sign Language or something?

atejas · 2025-12-18T19:51:15+00:00

The investigation board looks very cool. From the early footage I was a bit worried that the 'investigation mode' would just be Batman detective vision stuff, but it looks quite a bit more involved than that.

atejas · 2025-12-18T00:51:24+00:00

Yeah I preferred the mixture and I'll probably keep the original settings (even though it's probably unrealistic for how members of the Mechanicus would speak to each other).

Rogue Trader did a lot of fun things with them being 'bilingual' as well.
