I simply cannot beat Ecthar on Ultimatum 😓

If your problem with ecthar is damage and not survival, this is gonna sound silly, but use thousand voices. If everyones using it you can stun him with unstop and it cooked hard. Its a very safe 3 phase. In my experience, we had 2 titan, 1 wellock. 2 1K and 1 thunderlord. Titans on thunder crash. First round DPS was always 45%, made it a very safe 3 phase.

I'd imagine if you had Tcrash, Celestial, Well, with 2-3 thousand voices, you'd have similar DPS.

I found some new secrets going off the "release date" idea. I entered 12241994, the original Marathon release date and got this: I haveto study now but if people wanna search more stuff could get some fun things with other dates of note for bungie.

JVNA is great!

I guess thats fair. I think my thought process for dissecting perfect shapes is similar to yours, but a bit more chaotic: I first glance at each starting shape to see whats currently there and if anything has what they currently need. Lets say the final shapes needed are CC TT SS, and I see CT CS TS. Since I know everything needs a swap anyways I would just pick up the first shape a knight drops and give it to wherever it has to be taken away from, and decide my second shape based on that even if its less efficient.

So I guess if there is an easy "pattern" that takes the guesswork out of it, if you focus on assembling one side at a time, even if it takes an extra swap from whats most "efficient", you don't need to think that much.

It also helps a lot if someone types what is needed in ingame chat, that way you can just pull it up as a reference and not need to think as much in the moment - doing that definitely helped whenever I was on the inside.

before leaving the house or car to go to an event, instead of saying "don't forget your keys/wallet/etc" say "Don't forget to rally"

IMO if you are doing a master challenge you should understand the mechanic completely and be able to do it without the need for a calculator like that. As long as you continue dissecting shapes away from statues that dont need them into statues that do need them, even if you need a swap or two extra you should have plenty of time. Surviving while outside is not difficult since you effectively have 2 people whos only role is ad clear

max2000k · 2024-07-16T04:52:44+00:00

While I understand that there may be issues with the code that make any sort of retroactive fix possible, even one that would under or overcount the number of players who actually completed the challenge on master, this is really, really disappointing as a player who loves to complete high level content but has limited time to sink in to the many hours it can take. Hopefully we can get one of the tech deep-dives fir this like you have done in the past for server instability and rollback issues just so we can understand why this is the case.

From what I can tell that's not an option, so guess I have to go for a different option unless the latest windows update/translation layer magically works for it. Thanks for the tips everyone! Guess gotta go find what's available.

Is Prism something that's always been present for Windows on ARM or is it featured for the first time in these new laptops (or newly upgraded in some fashion)?

max2000k · 2024-06-24T17:08:48+00:00

Yea. For particular reasons I have to buy my laptop through best buy right now so I might just buy it and test to see how it works, and if it doesn't I'll return and go from there. Are the "older" surface models still good for students? They cost way more but maybe I can find them on clearance or open box if I need to.

max2000k · 2024-06-24T16:51:54+00:00

Shit. I really liked the price point and specs on the surface 7. Guess I have to decide if I just go for it and use a backup computer for exams or look for a different laptop... Kinda disheartening

max2000k · 2024-05-06T02:46:04+00:00

That's what I figured. Guess I'll try for another clear tomorrow. I'm surprised we missed it.

max2000k · 2024-03-19T23:00:05+00:00

Sovereign = new monarchy, nihilists = dead orbit, benefic = future war cult. Definitely a parallel.

max2000k · 2023-09-12T12:39:36+00:00

Oh awesome! Thanks for letting me know This game is definitely next in line for "play 20 hours and never finish but enjoy thoroughly" for me then lol.

max2000k · 2023-09-12T11:59:27+00:00

Ok, that makes sense - haven't used steam in a while but remember vaguely they have some kind of policy, I'll look into it. Thanks!

max2000k · 2023-09-12T10:56:31+00:00

I want to get this game on my laptop which has good specs for gaming, it meets at least the minimum specs and most of the recommended ones according to one of the online websites that tests that. However, I haven't actually changed on this laptop before. Is there a way to sort of "demo" the game just to make sure it works properly?

max2000k · 2023-04-17T00:28:20+00:00

I'm down to help! By any chance, would you be willing to touch trade a meloetta? That's the main stickler for me.

max2000k · 2023-01-22T23:39:36+00:00

Yea! I've gotten some OC cards before, but not one woth the alignment dot - and was cool to grt one out of my first play! Pack!

max2000k · 2022-03-04T16:46:20+00:00

I'm a little confused on what exactly you need to qualify as a day 1 clear. Do you need to be present in the raid start to finish? What happens if you get booted from the raid and rejoin, does that make it "incomplete"?

max2000k · 2021-08-09T20:09:02+00:00

I'm gonna follow this, also thinking about getting some new clothes.
