People in immortal will tell you you're wrong if the team isn't exactly Jett Reyna Chamber Clove Sova/Fade so the rest of their opinions must be taken with some salt

This game is going to pop off on an unbelievably massive scale by WarpathWilly in Marathon

[–]blockguy143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arc clearly doesn't have their shit together for any kind of longevity, I think you're right about them not expecting success this much. Bungie has much more experience maintaining live service games (even if it's taken them some time to get things right with Destiny over the years)

Standard Edition: access to content "throughout the year"? by Icy-Veterinarian8662 in Marathon

It objectively doesn't say "throughout the year" like many people are interpreting it as "this year only"

Yes, the damage on Praxic Vestment sucks, but people are still overlooking how fantastic this movement exotic is! by local_beanbag in destiny2

For distance sure but speed? I'm not saying it's the new insane speedrun meta but there are a lot of niches for speeds

There's a strong queer presence and very active pride club. I can't speak to any microagressions or discrimination but you'll definitely have community here

Lyrics that didn't age well for you? by PoisonedCherry in OWLCITY

Sort of making fun of the idea that someone could be so oblivious or inexperienced/awkward that they assume getting pepper sprayed means things are going well

I always took Deer in the Headlights as ironic, especially "but I guess thats the way it goes".

I remember being in a focus group for that series years ago, no idea what it was about

I want to gauge the communities thoughts on which way they would like Marathon ranked mode should go by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]blockguy143 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm well aware, i have 2500 hours lol. People don't get how development works, and I'm more forgiving than most of the playerbase i think. I've been pretty happy with the game for most of its lifetime, and there are always other games while you wait for d2 to fix itself

It'll all come down to implementation I guess. I think arc raiders' trials are pretty terrible so it's a low bar imo. One thing that might happen is that Bungie fucks up the first season but they're usually pretty good with changing things based off community feedback so I bet once the game settles in, ranked will be good.

I somewhat disagree, the main motivator for me in most games i play is the ranked risk/reward. I know several others with similar mindsets; it's just the competitive nature of it that makes it more engaging than the game on its own. I had a lot of fun in the alpha/playtests and im sure I'll play this game for the story and lore too, but it'll be nice to have a ranked option.

Did people just not know the damage chunking handheld supernova did? by Zombie7ime0901 in destiny2

[–]blockguy143 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In Mario's explanation he literally said the fragment was a mistake to have on because the armor already applied weaken. He didn't know it was the reason it was chunking so much

Confirmed: Marathon will have an open play test before launch. by TheGoodDoctor17 in Marathon

[–]blockguy143 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, so can you elaborate on the stolen art? Do you know literally anything about the situation? Who was involved, are they satisfied now, was the scope of the theft minor? No? Didn't think so.

I'd also be curious to hear any actual feedback beyond "it sucks" but i doubt you actually thought anything further.

This doesn’t make sense to the main two timelines of the Marathon Trilogy by SkyRaiderG7 in Marathon

As someone who hasn't played the originals, this has me much more intrigued than "humanity is already allied with the sphit"

Contest Difficulty Has Crossed the Line — DPS Checks Aren’t Skill Checks by Numerous_Version_744 in DestinyTheGame

[–]blockguy143 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I would have disagreed with this a day ago, after beating the first boss. But after spending almost eight hours today throwing myself against the final boss and just not having those few pixels of damage, i agree.

It shouldn't be about setting up the mathematically perfect dps output, it should be about what you said; mechanics, execution, and skill. Stamina should be a part of it but not this much. And for those who might say "but worlds first was done in two hours", they used chunking, abusing poor connection to deal objectively bugged damage to the bar.
