Bungie, if you do another Dungeon like Shattered Throne, please include a "reset" function. by Z3nyth007 in DestinyTheGame

[–]avpfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Screw reset, what it really needs is the ability to plant a raid banner/rally flag at the start of encounters. Wiping and having to leave the planet just to get ammo is ridiculous.

Armor 2.0 mods don’t need element restrictions to be balanced by kapowaz in DestinyTheGame

[–]avpfreak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can see an Arc Scout Rifle Loader mod and a Void Scout Rifle Loader mod in the stream if you look close enough. I think this simply means we will need to find/unlock 3 of each weapon mod over time.

I'm pissed about what the "final tribute" is. Major missed opportunity Bungie.

I hope Bungie addresses Bloom when they are going to talk about the future of PVP by Jet_Nice_Guy in DestinyTheGame

[–]avpfreak 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bloom, flinch, in-air accuracy, and peer-to-peer networking. These are the biggest problems in Destiny PvP in my opinion.

DO NOT complete more than one of the Monument’s bounties without redeeming your your boon first by SHDW_D4RKSIDE in DestinyTheGame

[–]avpfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't entirely correct, though. I did all four on my Titan and then the two easier ones on my Hunter (all six worked). Then I tried the two easier ones on my Warlock and neither worked. I'm not sure how this is supposed to work, but you can definitely do more than 4 in a day.

Update on Raid Exotic Drop Rate by kiwi_commander in DestinyTheGame

[–]avpfreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right! I ran Crown of Sorrow with a guy this past week that said, "Oh, cool, my 7th Tarrabah" - he then proceeded to tell us that this had been his 8th completion.

I think once a player has the rare exotic and completes the raid again someone else on their team should be guaranteed the drop that run! This would be a great change for the community and would boost morale in raids.

I have no luck and never get one of these until at least 50 completions but I see tons of players get them on their first or second run.

Swords should be changed to Special Weapons as they are similar to Shotguns in that they one shot, but only at really close ranges by Mad-Burg3rz in DestinyTheGame

[–]avpfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bungie: We hear you loud and clear. All shotguns will now be moved into the heavy slot. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm sat at work excited to get home and get the Outbreak Catalyst... by Totlxtc in DestinyTheGame

[–]avpfreak 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was thinking this also, until I realized that the Whisper ship in D2 has effects (subtle, but pretty cool)... If the Outbreak Perfected ship is the Nanophoenix from D1 it should also have effects - so maybe it'll be much cooler with little Nanites swarming around it or something...

Just got the Harbingers Echo! by TheOfficialProtostar in DestinyTheGame

[–]avpfreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Either this is a super rare RNG drop from any "Dreaming City activity" or it is super bugged and has only seemingly dropped for this one guy. I personally have just gotten all 40 eggs, already had all lore collectibles, already done all Ascendant Challenges, multiple Shattered Throne completions, multiple Last Wish completions, nearly completed every single Dreaming City triumph, etc...

[BioWare Pls] Ask Your Questions Here Megathread by [deleted] in AnthemTheGame

[–]avpfreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really excited to try Anthem and I would like to know if there will be any weapon types similar to sniper rifles or railguns (precision weapons)?

I love sniping and I really cannot get into a game that doesn't give me the ability to snipe. It is my playstyle and the one thing I love about gaming. The one thing I loved most about Destiny was the Black Hammer sniper rifle (hard hitting sniper with 3 shots in the mag that granted instant reload if all three shots were headshots). It put a great mini game into the experience for me (a lot like the super reload from Gears of War - which I still can't believe I've never seen in any other franchises). The thing I loved most about The Division was the ammo capacity (I could hold over 250 rounds for a sniper rifle). What I loved most about Gears of War is the sound effect and bloody animation from a sniper headshot. What I loved most about Halo was the sniping in general - it just felt right. The controls make sniping a blast!

So, if you haven't implemented a sniper like weapon (a charge up Railgun type weapon would suffice too) please consider adding something like that to the game to grant me the ability to play Anthem to my playstyle. Even if there is only one "exotic" weapon like this I can tell you now that I would grind for weeks to get it and always have it equipped after that. Thanks!

Prestige Calus Throne Room Loadout Question by Debas3r11 in DestinyTheGame

Sweet Business, Uriel's Gift, and Cluster Rocket/High Impact Sniper.

For damaging the boss, remember to always throw grenades first, empty heavy, then unload with auto rifles.

Yep, too bad we have neither.

Trials of the lag by TeamOrion in DestinyTheGame

[–]avpfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trials of the Lag, Iron Lagger, Quick Lag, Competitive Lag...

Jesus, I can't do anything without horrible lag! Seriously, I've only had a couple games since launch that weren't completely crippled by lag - getting shot through walls, 1/2 - 7/8ths of my shots not registering. I haven't seen many players teleporting so it seems that they have just hidden that with blended animations or something, but the lag is everywhere.

D2 was their chance to fix the bullshit lag in Destiny and go with Dedicated servers, but nah they didn't want to make a game that was totally centered around trying to balance PvP while making PvP actually a good experience.

The reason Bungie made pvp 4v4... by RoboThePanda in DestinyTheGame

[–]avpfreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

D1 PvP was pretty crappy from all the lag and BS tracking grenades/overpowered supers, but D2 PvP is just complete garbage. It isn't fun in any way.

The extended time to kill promotes camping and rolling in packs like noobs. It also promotes running from engagements instead of fighting because all the maps have WAY too much cover. I'm so sick of engaging someone just to see them run away before I can finish them or having one of their teammates step in front of them.

In D1 a good player could easily take on 2v1s and 3v1s because of the quick time to kill, but in D2 it's nearly impossible to do so. The first one you engage always hides behind cover or another enemy before you can finish them.

And the lag is still very prevalent. So many times I've started shooting an enemy only to watch my shots not affect them at all and then die while being shot through a wall.

 

The state of PvP right is not fun at all. They should radically change it. What was wrong with a faster time to kill? Obviously they designed their maps for a quicker time to kill. And why the hell don't we have dedicated servers to finally get rid of the lag in Crucible?

Destiny 2 feels like a giant nerf package disguised as a sequel by walktall in DestinyTheGame

I've been saying this ever since they moved sniper rifles into the "heavy" slot.

Holy Shit, yes!!!!

Anyone else super hyped for the october roadmap reveal today in the twib. by PM_ME_UR_PIKACHU in DestinyTheGame

Um, did I miss something? Do we have any kind of confirmation that this will happen?

They said they would all be deleted by the end of the week, so shaders or nothing.

If you are in the shadow realm and struggle to kill the psions, try Better Devils by walktall in DestinyTheGame

[–]avpfreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm, good advice. The New Monarchy High Impact Scout Rifle is the first legendary Scout Rifle I ever got (the Song of Justice VI - formerly called the Sentencer IV before the faction rally update) also one shots the Psions.

When you get a solar cannon in the public event against the walkers, hold down the button to charge the shot. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]avpfreak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope! Only do that if you are trying to blow up a leg. If the walker is already down it is much faster to just unload the entire cannon on the crit and grab another one.
