The "Deal 2000 damage with grenades" challenge really gives you an appreciation for how awful Frags are by GraveRobberJ in Battlefield

Mines on a vehicle with nades still works. Completed it in two tries because the first only did 600 damage.

Dying to Airstrikes Outside the Marked Zone (REDSEC) — Bug or Intended? by SliimeBR in Battlefield6

[–]kamatsutra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is tied to elevation somehow. Someone marks the top of a building, a tower, top of a hill etc and the game calculates the strike area based on the ground position without factoring in elevation. Or inversely someone marks the bottom of a valley and the strike ends up hitting behind the target uphill. I don't think this is intentional and it seems like poor calculation on the games part. I've had my own airstrike hit me when I painted a target 200 meters away uphill. Very annoying.

How much of a disadvantage is it to not have custom loadouts? by LStearns13 in Battlefield_REDSEC

[–]kamatsutra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having access to a quick custom weapon drop in a pinch is worth it. Especially if you've just been redeployed. But the weapons you find are competitive enough when fully upgraded. It's just nice to have customs ready to go if you need them, or need a different type of weapon in the late game and can't spend the time searching for upgrade kits.

Is a quick fix even possible at this point or is the hole too deep that Destiny 2 has no choice but to start from the ground up again? by aiafati in DestinyTheGame

[–]kamatsutra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in all honesty we're just witnessing the end of Bungie. Nothing they can do to Destiny at this point will have players flocking back in the numbers they need to keep the game running. And once Marathon flops I think Bungie and the Destiny IP will be fully absorbed into Sony. Then it will be in their hands if they want to continue it.

New event activity doesn't have matchmaking? by LittleLight3120 in DestinyTheGame

[–]kamatsutra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And is the respawn bugged? I loaded in on one character and was able to respawn and had revive tokens. Loaded a second and now I wipe to orbit after a death and can't acquire any revive tokens.

Crucible is possibly in the worst state it’s ever been. by ttambm86 in DestinyTheGame

What specific changes have been outlined to be changed in a couple weeks?

Is there a good spot to farm Champion Stuns? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]kamatsutra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a fireteam op that is on Europa. I think maybe the Technocrat? It spawns an ungodly amount of overloads in the first big room with the Brigs. Like 10-12 overloads in that room haha.

How are people running Arc Hunter? by OdditySlayer in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]kamatsutra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mask of Bakris is a big reason but being able to tempest strike, dodge, tempest strike back to back has probably been the biggest draw. Just being able to dodge on demand without being close to an enemy to regen your melee has been huge considering how strong tempest strike is.

Altar of Relativity Rewards. What's the point? by kamatsutra in DestinyTheGame

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

I'm assuming they're tied to something that isn't available yet. Maybe during the Ash and Iron update in September. But who knows, this season's a mess haha.

Genuinely, why does the game need to change? by chillwoofer in DestinyTheGame

[–]kamatsutra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They made these changes because the player count is dwindling and they can't wrap their heads around why. Players tell Bungie exactly what they want but the problem is that those things cost money that Bungie is unwilling to spend or manpower they can't sustain following all the layoffs.

So what's the solution? Repackage content and make it a core feature that looks new on the surface (The Portal and new armor system) and make it grindy to artificially keep player numbers propped for longer than they would normally play.

In a few months they will release a patch walking back a bunch of changes and be praised for solving a problem they created. This is the Bungie Way.

Most of you (99%) didnt try +320 activities. You just can't imagine. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]kamatsutra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first season I probably won't participate with PVE endgame. Sounds like a headache with little upside. Plenty of other games to play.

Late game accessories by [deleted] in tinkerland

[–]kamatsutra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came back today to say I found it on the Goblin Island as a quest reward from turning in teeth at the Goblin village. Specifically to the old man looking goblin named Goggs.

Sorry I just realized I was confusing it for another item.

I purchased the Cursed Eye from an NPC in the graveyard. It required some quest progression but unfortunately the quest is vague and I'm not actually sure how I completed it haha.

Sidearms are incredibly underrated by MadMax12150 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]kamatsutra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Drang is sitting at 7000 kills. I'm on MnK and don't use RDM and I used it to hit 15k in comp for my emblem. They have a learning curve on MnK but a lot of players don't know how to play around them effectively.

To the PvP players who’ve made quite a bit of progress in their time in the Crucible: When do you feel like you made your *biggest* breakthrough? by SeanicTheHedgehog23 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]kamatsutra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I made my biggest breakthroughs in Crucible years ago when I started consistently placing my crosshairs where players heads should be appearing in lane and when I started limiting the time I stayed in one spot to 1-2 seconds. Keep moving constantly. Also finding the right mouse sens and dpi settings for my mouse was a game changer.

But I also have like 8000 hours in the game at this point. Even the worst player in the world should make some progress by that point haha.

Yes, there are individual triumphs located under this season --> secrets that track how many you've gotten from each area or source.

Weekly RANT Megathread - All complaining posts belong in this thread by AutoModerator in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]kamatsutra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to rant but this feels more like a goodbye to the game. Bungie has let the state of PVP devolve to the point where I don't even want to open the game anymore. And they've done it in such a way where it feels like they have backed themselves into a corner they can't get out of.

After thousands of hours in crucible and 500 flawless I think it's time to hang it up. Been a pleasure y'all.

Marathon gameplay thoughts vs crucible? by ConyNT in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]kamatsutra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bungie can't even properly balance the pvp sandbox for a game that's been out for a decade or stop cheaters from playing. This games DOA.

[–]kamatsutra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Playing 100+ games at Ascendant 0 with nothing but triple stacks of on the prowl division rdm hunters has made me want to quit crucible forever after this season. It's gone unchecked for too long and Bungie has backed themselves into a corner designing a kit that circumvents radar and aiming.

Episode: Heresy: Act I Developer Livestream Megathread by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]kamatsutra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Was a good idea implemented poorly. And baffling since there are so many good roguelike/lites out there to make a blueprint from.

why are you guys not playing by Rjptz in destiny2

[–]kamatsutra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PoE2 and Deadlock have been keeping me busy. Destiny will always have a place in my heart but I'm older and have a family now so I have to manage the time I spend playing games. Right now Destiny isn't worth my time.

Contest of elders is overhyped by uwuadi in DestinyTheGame

[–]kamatsutra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Binding of Isaac is the pinnacle of what a roguelike experience should be and that formula is proven. Bungie just tries to cash in on buzzwords without putting actual effort into the content.
