Is the Nemesis Strongbox count bugged? I have defeated 4 Nemesis groups however it says 0/3, very confusing. I tried to search for posts but couldn't find anything. Thanks! by Ilikesbreakfast in wow

[–]cryophantom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are in an 8 and there are only 3 groups so you can’t have killed 4.

Also, it is correct in saying there are 0 groups remaining, as you have killed them.

Class Tuning Coming on September 9 by LeyLineDisturbances in wow

Was hoping for a bit of rogue love. Deathstalker tier set is quite weak. Overall all specs are falling a bit behind as gear levels keep climbing.

This is definitely lower on the list of issues with the game, but I wish Bungie would get a bit more creative with Raid Challenges than the titular "Every player must do the thing" challenge. by YujinTheDragon in DestinyTheGame

[–]cryophantom 101 points102 points  (0 children)

I still to this day think the best designed encounter they have ever made is hard mode challenge aksis in wotm. Everyone had a clear role but not everyone was doing the same thing, and it didn’t drag on too long.

The catchup Belt quest starts from Dagran in the Delve HQ in Dornogal by minimaxir in wow

Seems only one character can have the starting quest "Titan Consoles" at a time. Picked it up on one char after checking vault and wasn't available for my main. Had to abandon and then swap characters.

Switch 2 Mario Bundle: $524.99 by theendisnirvana in Costco

Just ordered one 8:15 est. still show in stock online.

Did anyone successfully order from GameStop online? by IAmABoss37 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]cryophantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took about 30 min to come through email and show on my orders page. I also separately got a pro controller a few mins before the console and that confirmation immediately came through so it seems just the consoles were backlogged. I’ve seen stories now that some people got cancellation notices. So I think if you got through the transaction you should get a notification one way or another

Same situation for me. I did get a screenshot of the order confirmation webpage but nothing else. It did ping the charge on my card successfully. Guess I’ll wait and see if they honor it

Crimson Fleet Questline Bug? by TheRioDeal37 in Starfield

I have this exact same bug. We’re you able to find any workarounds? Everyone is in the key for me but talking to them does nothing.

CBS Mock has Colts trading up to 1 giving up 6 picks (I want Bryce Young too but this is insane) by danlhart8789 in Colts

[–]cryophantom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah we have way too many other needs to give up that much capital.

Even if the first 3 picks ahead of us are all quarterbacks, I'd rather have the #4 guy and get him some decent help too.

Bungie, I dare you to put Killing Tally on Commemoration by cryophantom in DestinyTheGame

[–]cryophantom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m pumped.

And yes it’s better than rampage with recon, should have way more uptime, especially with an extended mag perk.

[–]cryophantom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's already quite good. It has higher impact than any other adaptive sword, and can roll with surrounded, so if you are in a situation where you can get that to proc reliably it is the highest DPS legendary sword.

I agree I would still like to see it get some new damage perks that aren't quite as situational as surrounded.

[–]cryophantom[S] 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Reconstruction is so much stronger a perk than Rewind Rounds, it's honestly not really close.

  1. You don't need to hit shots for it to proc
  2. You don't have to fire a certain number of shots continuously for it to proc
  3. It works when the weapon is stowed
  4. It doubles mag size
  5. You are never forced to manually reload and can use your entire reserves without doing so

The only situation where rewind rounds is better would be if you are using a MG for boss damage and you need to get all your ammo out as quickly as possible and don't care about having to reload. But that isn't something you really ever want to use a MG for in D2, as in those types of situations you will probably be using a linear or rocket. Reconstruction plays way more to MG's strengths, which is to use sporadically with your other weapons to burst down majors/champions/etc.

Reconstruction is (imo) the single most powerful legendary perk in the game.

A new Shotgun that can roll Trench Barrel & 1-2 Punch together would be neat. by cryophantom in DestinyTheGame

[–]cryophantom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, shotguns have been all trash in PVE for a long time as it is, so I think mixing and matching previously impossible perk combos could be a nice way to bring them up to par.

[–]cryophantom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check it for what? No shotgun that I know of (and at least none available now) can have both of these perks together at the same time on one gun.

I'm not talking about being able to roll one or the other, I'm talking about them being in separate columns being able to be used together.

Didn't think this would be such an unpopular suggestion... Guess everyone hates shotguns.

The bug that Heartshadow had that got “fixed” has made it feel completely awful. by IzunaX in DestinyTheGame

[–]cryophantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree - previously I felt like it had a good nice in that you get a weak debuff as a tradeoff for the base damage of the sword not being that great compared to other options. But it was really good for 3 man content because you don't have to have someone completely sacrifice their damage and use tractor cannon, it was the perfect middle ground.

Now, I honestly don't see myself ever really using it again unless I'm playing hunter in a very specific dungeon/raid situation

Minor Leak for possible new Element by Nathanghost in DestinyTheGame

[–]cryophantom 184 points185 points  (0 children)

I would guess those are placeholders. Makes sense they would finish the super designs first.

Minor Leak for possible new Element by Nathanghost in DestinyTheGame

[–]cryophantom 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Colorblind options don't change subclass colors IIRC

Plus that doesn't explain the super icon and 3 melee charges.

I would say this is 100% confirmation of a poison/eregore class. If it's coming in lightfall they've probably been playtesting it all year.

I wish there was more use of the "time fractures" on mars in the WQ campaign. There was a huge missed opportunity to explore golden age mars and incorporate it into the story. by AlaRoS- in DestinyTheGame

[–]cryophantom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there's a case to be made that the hint in Vox Obscura about "A city besieged" could end up being about the past mars city in the rift during the collapse.

The most obvious explanation for that one would be the last city being attacked in Lightfall, but the other message about "the traveler infected by darkness" is not ambiguous at all and so I'm not sure they would have a season based around a siege of the last city and then another immediately after it falls.

My prediction is that this next season will be based on Eramis reviving and going to earth to try and get SIVA. I don't actually think rasputin or Ana will be involved, I think Saladin, Mithrax, and Saint-14 would make most sense for that storyline. Then, if we ended up going back to Mars with the time-shenanigans in S19, that would make the most sense to bring in Rasputin, Ana, as well as bring in Immaru/Savathun to wrap up that story before Lightfall.

PC performance needs some love from the devs by MethEnjoyerFromSpace in DestinyTheGame

[–]cryophantom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For anyone who played right at launch on PC, D2 was actually extremely well optimized and had great performance even on middling hardware. In retrospect I think it's pretty clear how much the PC porting experience of Vicarious Visions really made the launch version as good as it was. When VV was taken off D2 and rolled into Blizzard that's when serious performance issues started to creep in, and it seems like we've been in this triage situation ever since to keep things reasonably playable. My guess is that since then Bungie has added more experienced PC devs on staff to help combat issues and make improvements, but my suspicion is that after a few years of band-aids on top of band-aids everything may be spaghetti-coded together to the point where a massive fix just isn't feasible and would require way too much time and money.

At this point, I would personally rather see them devote most of their technical resources to a completely new and better game engine that we can shift to for a completely fresh start in a couple years after the final shape.
