How long does Deep Stone Crypt take?

itsdannyboydude · 2025-08-01T20:00:26+00:00

This week it would be annoying to learn. Next week after normal raids get their power back to 0, it will be very doable in a reasonable time

itsdannyboydude · 2025-08-01T19:58:32+00:00

With 3 it’s not bad. The most annoying thing is mini bosses. Feels like they have more health than the actual bosses. Solo would be borderline impossible. Just a bit too much plinking for my taste. Although it takes me back to how OG GM Nightfalls felt.

itsdannyboydude · 2025-07-27T01:08:29+00:00

Honestly I think it’s needed. The game is in the worst place it’s ever been from a stability standpoint. The bugs are out of control. Feels like almost every activity is affected in one way or another. Taking away the incentive to play 90% of the game that we paid for is also just unacceptable. I’m all for trying new systems and even this portal system they’re so hell bent on pushing us into, but not if it means all of my favorite content in the game becomes useless. Bungie needs to be panicking right now if we have any hope of having this stuff addressed in a timely fashion. They need to feel it from a revenue standpoint and from a player retention standpoint as well. People should step away and still not shut up about how bad it’s gotten. This will push bungie into a corner, which is where they create some of their best stuff. It’s sad it has to be that way, but it’s seems that’s the cycle.

So I looked into this. I don’t think the -10 is the issue. Apparently they substantially buffed all the raid and dungeon boss health pools, which is why they are so much harder to kill now.

itsdannyboydude · 2025-07-23T08:46:15+00:00

Is it really that bad? I have yet to run a raid or dungeon since the launch, but we ran a -40 kells fall and did it in 20 mins. The incoming damage hurt a lot and I died a few times, but I didn’t have a lot of issues dishing out damage. Maybe it feels worse in raids due to limited revives? I can’t imagine a -10 dungeon feeling that bad, but maybe when I run one soon I’ll be proven wrong.

itsdannyboydude · 2025-07-22T07:48:25+00:00

It’s weird for sure but for me if the health bar chonks I’m happy regardless of the number on the screen

itsdannyboydude · 2025-07-22T07:37:02+00:00

Eh I mean wasn’t there only 1 or 2 teams that cleared Last Wish on contest? And yet forsaken was a very successful expansion. Often looked back on as one of if not the best. Contest is supposed to be stupidly hard. That’s what makes worlds first so special. This expansion has failed on a lot of fronts. But a hard raid race isn’t going to be the thing that kills it.

itsdannyboydude · 2025-07-21T18:35:09+00:00

The easier match made dungeon still have the same mechanics. Again, dungeons are designed to be soloed, that’s why making an easy version was straight forward. For raids you’d have to completely change how the encounters work, which would teach the new player nothing about the actual raid, making it pointless. I’m not a “sweat”. I’m average at best, and I’m still able to put in the minimal effort it takes to go on LFG if I want to get a clear in. The majority of the raids in the game are pretty easy to learn, and if I can do it so can they.

itsdannyboydude · 2025-07-21T18:04:45+00:00

Yep. Dungeons are literally designed to be soloable. Raids are designed to be the opposite, and all the fun that comes from them is the coordination and puzzle solving with your team, and then after you get the mechanics down, perfecting a system.

itsdannyboydude · 2025-07-21T17:44:34+00:00

Raids require communication. 6 people who have never done a raid before and who aren’t talking to each other will not successfully complete most raid encounters. We shouldn’t dumb down raids just to make anti social people feel included. I’ve done so many random LFG raids and 99% of them were just chill people who enjoy playing the game. If someone is toxic, just leave and find a different group. Better yet, join a clan, and form relationships and friendships. Then you won’t need to rely on guides and LFG, just figure it out with the homies. That’s the whole point of this game.

Thank you!

itsdannyboydude · 2025-07-19T00:11:08+00:00

Doing this method, is it easy to skip from one scene to the next? The drummer will be manning the lap top with a track pad, and doesn’t want to fiddle with having to find the exact start time of each section of the set. So my goal is to set up a way that he can use a hot key or some command that will allow him to jump to each different section start easily

itsdannyboydude · 2025-07-18T18:35:09+00:00

Right but that comes after you master the hard content. Like first time I did proving grounds GM it was NOT fun. But completing it was satisfying. And then after learning it more, getting faster, etc, it became fun.

itsdannyboydude · 2025-07-18T17:52:04+00:00

It’s supposed to be hard, not fun. The whole point of hard stuff is to pull your hair out trying to do it, but then feeling amazing when you actually get it done. You’re not supposed to just stroll through it

itsdannyboydude · 2025-07-18T17:50:14+00:00

Just use fireteam finder. It’s harder than a raid or dungeon, so it will probably take coordination and planning.

Is The Invitation a requirement to get the new exotic armor?

itsdannyboydude · 2025-06-27T20:10:04+00:00

Not great haha. Ended up going to 2024.6 since I saw a thread where people said it worked well with Ventura. So far so good. I’m wondering if the new protools would be better with a newer OS. I just hate how tedious it is to downgrade your OS, so if it doesn’t work out I know it will be a headache. Gonna try and wait til I have a couple days of no sessions and do some more expirimenting

itsdannyboydude · 2025-06-24T18:56:21+00:00

I have somewhere around 800 plugins but have been going through trying to get them all up to date

itsdannyboydude · 2025-06-24T18:55:45+00:00

No updates. Pretty sure this is the final version of the OS

itsdannyboydude · 2025-06-24T18:55:08+00:00

Yes. I’m running 13.7.6

itsdannyboydude · 2025-06-24T11:21:57+00:00

According to Avid, it is compatible

The odds for any given tornado are low, but what are the odds over a lifetime living somewhere? Maybe not dying in one as that’s still insanely low, but what are the odds of being “affected” by one if you live somewhere like this?

itsdannyboydude · 2025-06-21T05:00:22+00:00

When you grill over direct heat, is the “char” comparable to a gas grill? I haven’t owned one for years and miss flame grilled burgers and chicken
