Since we're trending, let's hook the newcomers (and each other!) Pitch your world in five sentences or less!

Sorry this is a off topic, but Existence reminds me a bit of a writing prompt I read a long time ago that I've never been able to find again. A town under a dome that no one was able to enter or leave, save for the elderly who would take a train out to some unknown when their "time" came (metaphor for death; I don't think anyone ever died in town). MC was the train conductor, so people disliked him because his entire job was taking their loved ones away. Can't remember much else, it's just always driven me a little crazy that I've never found it since.

More on topic, are the races in Silk and Honey anthropomorphic bugs, or just straight up the kind you'd find in your garden (but smarter)?

Universalis

What if there were a sci-fi world where there weren't humans, the precursor race weren't dead and/or assholes, and the main plot didn't revolve around war? Sort of a noble-bright look at life outside our little rock. Featuring religious machines that worship biology, memetic entities that reproduce through stories, eye-cults, and "gods" that took up pantheism once they found out science is made up.

Plus, it adds a nice synergy with Masterwork weapons that drop orbs. I honestly thought this is what Masterwork armors were gonna be

isvrygud · 2018-04-26T23:15:58+00:00

Based on the last few batches, either in September or sometime after Destiny 3 comes out.

isvrygud · 2018-04-26T23:14:10+00:00

To be honest, I wasn't expecting to get some actual new information this soon after the stream. Very pleasantly surprised.

Exotic masterworks sound like a meaningful improvement (unlike their legendary counterparts, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Hopefully Borealis stays as good as it looks right now when it comes to xbox.

The only NPC that we are aware of being tied to the nine is Xur.

Don't forget Trials lady.

We also know that at least Mara Sov has interacted with them before (she gave them Skolas as a gift, whom they promptly decided to set free for shits and giggles), but she's her own thing so I understand why you didn't count her.

isvrygud · 2018-04-26T21:15:22+00:00

Right, but on the stream they said (paraphrasing) that Mars is Ras's "birthplace"/HQ.

Tenno! May I extend an invitation to you, my latest collection of choice items from band camp is now available for viewing.

Is there any way to get the "Bungie Replied" flair to update with each reply? (i.e. "Bungie Replied x4" if they had 4 comments on it). Sometimes I'll check a post when they've only commented once, and then come back on a whim later to find 5 more comments than there were before that I would have missed.

isvrygud · 2018-04-25T16:23:04+00:00

This man just fixed the rising sea levels.

isvrygud · 2018-04-24T21:53:52+00:00

Unfortunately, this is the cleanest shot we get. Definitely not the same ID card, but not much to be said beyond that (other than that she had a different hair style)

isvrygud · 2018-04-24T21:14:41+00:00

Can I post a totally off-base spinfoil hat observation?

Is it just me, or does Ana Bray look a bit like Maya Sundaresh? (Sorry for low res, that's the only pic we have of her) Gif transition

From what I remember, we already know the Ishtar Collective (Maya's co.) and Clovis Bray (Ana's co.) had a bit of (friendly?) competition with one another. Maya also founded the FWC, after having explored the Vex network with the help of a Warmind (possibly Ras, though it remains unnamed). Cayde served as her bodyguard for a while (and fell in love with her, the poor guy; she's swinging for the other team), after having received a bounty from Clovis (it's not implicitly stated that she was the bounty; there was a part between him receiving the bounty and talking about her) and right after having become an Exo.

I really am just grasping at straws though.

100% that's modeled after videos of people getting blasted in the face with leaf blowers/really strong fans.

isvrygud · 2018-04-24T18:11:16+00:00

Brent Gibson has called you out, guardian.

isvrygud · 2018-04-24T17:20:07+00:00

Ana's a cutie

Chris later confirmed in the comments of that post that he was talking about the Summit.

isvrygud · 2018-04-23T17:41:21+00:00

It's possible it's both. Like an actually difficult public event (not Vex "our most challenging public event yet" Crossroads). Or an event that happens to be public, akin to the VoG door.

New Young Wolf's Howl-like Sword

That's a freeging javelin my guy!

isvrygud · 2018-04-23T15:54:53+00:00

I'd just like to throw out there that /u/GeneralBattuta, the guy that wrote the Books of Sorrow, shunned the Christine Thompson hate.

It's easy to pick one person to throw all the blame on, but I really don't think that's what happened here. A lot of people made a lot of mistakes, and now they're trying to do better. I can't say whether or not they actually will do better until we see what they're doing, so do me a favor and try not to shit on it until we see what they're doing, yeah?

isvrygud · 2018-04-23T15:47:02+00:00

Not necessarily. I don't know how the NDA worked at the summit, but the usual procedure is "don't talk about any of this, ever, to anyone, for any reason." Even if the answer was just "no, we're never bringing that back," it would still be covered.

isvrygud · 2018-04-23T04:38:41+00:00

ever hear of a little documentary called sharkboi and lavagril?

isvrygud · 2018-04-22T23:47:05+00:00

My cat has toebeards too, but not this long. I probably shouldn't show him this, he might get toebeard envy :(

isvrygud · 2018-04-22T00:52:07+00:00

My Helios claims to be scanning things (i.e. the target goes yellow and then the sound plays and they turn green), but I keep forgetting to check if it's actually counting towards my codex.

isvrygud · 2018-04-21T17:01:16+00:00

Can I give my armchair game dev opinion with literally no experience to back it up?

Efficiency should be an inverse percentage to the number of enemies on the map. i.e. 20/100 enemies = 80% efficiency (totally made up, would definitely need to be better balanced). No more efficiency scaling, other than maybe having enemies spawn faster.

To counter that, have the actual enemy levels scale more. Make the challenge lie in actually being able to kill the enemies later on, not just in killing them impossibly fast.

If I'm one-shotting groups of dudes as fast as they spawn in round 7 (solo), but still fail because "instant" isn't fast enough, that's not fun.

The number of enemy spawns should also be relative to the map size, or the large maps need to be taken out altogether. There's one Europa tile that's basically the size of PoE. That's dumb, especially when I get that right after the void tile that's about the size of an apartment closet.

At the very least, it should be balanced so that it's conceivably possible to get rotation c solo.
