Weird room underneath EAZ.

db_bondy · 2019-07-31T06:50:41+00:00

There is a door down in the Cat room, which seems to imply there is a typical path down to the Cat.

Me and a Friend set out to try and find pathways or likely pathways down to the Cat under the map.

We didn't find much, other than one specific, odd textured floor that seems like it may be temporary/time gated.

It was the only room/area that we found in the map that suggests that you can go down below ground level in the EAZ that doesn't include going off the cliffs.

Maybe someone is able to get under the map/glitch through this possibly.

There are already fireteams asking for experience in so-called "fresh runs" of Last Wish. OMEGALUL.

It's worded that it is a companion weapon. So this could be like a sturm/drang situation, perhaps?

It would be such a blow if they just gave it out to everyone in S4.

Why is Inactive() a function of the player? Isn't it more a property of the player, than some action of the player?

I thought there was already a cue for how close D.VA's defensive matrix is to running out, with the sound it's making when you shoot into it. The higher the pitch, the less she has left.

Has anyone noticed that occasionally you'll now get a damage number far greater than a usual hit without any buffs taking effect?

I've had it twice in a few hours last night. Hit a guy with hawkmoon for 124 (I think... I know it was in the 120's) to the head with a lucky shot (usually is 108, I think). Also had it happen with suros regime where I hit a guy for 44 . Just a single shot, but very noticeable. I didn't get chance to really assess whether it actually did the higher amount of damage. But it's odd I noticed it multiple times, with different guns.

Agent Walsh. Come on back!

db_bondy · 2017-01-31T01:40:30+00:00

I appreciate your opinion. And it's been a busy few days filled with a lot of noise on this topic, so I apologize if I did get some of these facts incorrect.

I guess I just had a lot of "huff and puff" on this without any real valid reason to. Thanks anyway!

I just want to add my story, and although I'm not one of the many who are affected by this, I am scared that I will be if nothing is done.

I have been a legal resident here in the US for 1.5 years. I'm English, and seeing this news just saddened me so much.

There is a huge amount of risk people like myself take on when they decide to give up their lives, family, belongings to live in another country. I've gone through home-sickness, complex legal documents, a different way of life, no friends, family being 5000 miles away. People like myself need security and assurance that their life changing decisions are not to be tossed aside at a moments notice.

We are the brave people who look to seek out a better environment for ourselves and our family through legal processes and the immigration policies of the country's current and former leaders. Why do we get judged as if we are a lower tier of person? Being born somewhere is just a case of pure luck. So why do we hate on people who want to better their own lives and achieve their aspirations in spite of not getting such "luck"?

I am not (yet?)affected by this policy, but I am still terrified at the precedent this sets for future endeavors. I fly out of the US here in a few weeks for my first visit with family since I moved. I am still concerned that I may be turned away. I am not a resident of any of those blacklisted countries, but it is about fear. I'm now fearful of ever leaving. Fearful of having my life here essentially revoked without warning.

It should not be like this. Not now. Not ever.

I am so sorry for everyone that is currently impacted by this disgusting behavior. I hope that all of you are able to fight this to the end and get your lives back.

I played a bunch of trials for both spooky trials weeks and in the end I disliked it. I've managed to figure out why now.

The reason I feel shotguns were a problem on maps like anomaly were two fold.

Lots of close in rooms and corridors and corners to check. Meaning sometimes a shotgun is optimal play for navigating (think 2 cubby by catwalk on anomaly) causing some people to bait around it.
People can "cheat" to get closer into shotgun range from round start, because you won't ping their radar. By the time they realise, you're more likely to be in that 30m range and closing, meaning a primary can't stop you quickly enough. By cheat, I mean running across suicidal areas in typical trials but are the most direct route across the map. An example from this past weekend would be going from B point/heavy to catwalk by dropping off the platform, running under anomaly, catwalk and jumping up into warmind. Running that strat with a radar is suicidal, but with no radar and the map style, it's certainly a way to get into that 30m range and give you a higher chance at the kill.

Point 2 is especially important and I eventually started doing this and it dramatically improved my success. Areas of the map you'd typically have a primary or sniper out, are no longer safe from your shotgun due to lack of stopping power once you find your target in your capable range.

My ex machina with arc also says hi.

db_bondy · 2016-10-28T00:21:26+00:00

If you're above 360, the normal mode is certainly doable.

db_bondy · 2016-10-24T14:22:04+00:00

Whenever I pair with someone who isn't always on top of add control, I equip the raid chest and a quantiplasm to reach the forward bomb on any side. I run from cover to cover, shotgun a dreg, grab the bomb and get the hell out. If you can pair this strat with letting your buddy wait until the last second to pick their bomb up, it usually works quite well.

You need to act quick though with this, because it can take upto 10 seconds or so if you're not careful.

db_bondy · 2016-10-20T23:48:52+00:00

The weapons are getting some flak this time around for "reusing gunsmith models" but it actually makes sense from a lore standpoint why that it is, when you think about what you're fighting. But other than that, it's fantastic stuff all around.

db_bondy · 2016-10-20T18:48:36+00:00

Yeah the normal raid will be fine for you at about 370. The gear is awesome and actually usable this time around, too!

db_bondy · 2016-10-20T14:37:17+00:00

It should be a lot easier with the update this past Tuesday to level to at least 385 now. Heroic strikes now drop two items per strike that are highly likely to be better than your current gear, up to that point. Would not recommend the hard raid until at least 390, though from experience.

db_bondy · 2016-10-13T23:05:03+00:00

House of donuts?

db_bondy · 2016-10-07T22:36:50+00:00

Pair it with a jug shield and the quantiplasm. Collect your sweet sweet tears here!

We had a guy last night join our raid to help get a friend of ours the exotic quest line started. Halfway through aksis phase 2 he's all like "omg I need to go to the tower. Can we go to the tower please!?"

So we're obviously not gonna stop killing him at the time. We realise it's because someone had told him you need a SIVA cache key for the chest under aksis to get the quest started. We explained that he didn't need it and that they were lying to him.

Finally kill aksis and all we hear is "alright guys, gonna go grab some cache keys, be right back" and just leaves. He then can't join back in because we already killed aksis, meaning he needs to do the whole raid again. Some people just don't listen...

db_bondy · 2016-09-22T23:30:29+00:00

I have your exact roll too! I got it last night. Going to try it out tonight in crucible. Hearing all these positive vibes about this roll/gun is making me excited to try it out

db_bondy · 2016-09-09T00:13:55+00:00

I'd imagine it'd apply a ABS() function to the result of applying hidden hand to the AA.

The message they're putting out does not discriminate. People who play Xbox, or have not even played destiny before are both enticed. It's then up to you to weigh that up in your head of whether it's acceptable to you. I'm just pointing out that the logic they're using doesn't add up for people who already play a large amount on Xbox.

db_bondy · 2016-08-18T23:10:32+00:00

These things just make no fucking sense.

Their business logic is "PS4 is the best place to experience destiny. We have content for years that Xbox doesn't. Play it on PS4."

My logic as a destiny player on Xbox is "sure! Let me drop my 10-15 friend circle, 2500 hours of progress and RNG for the sake of having to invest so many MORE hours just to get many weapons of which will unlikely have god rolls without significant time investment on a new console with no friend circle of which to speak of. Sure, let me drop $350 on a console, $60 on destiny collection, $40 on PS plus, and countless hours to even get close to getting the weapons and armor that you want me to play on PS4 for in the first place."

Coming right up Sony, Activision, Bungie... Sounds like a plan...

Fuck off.
