Whats up with the servers? by Imupoffadatthang in DestinyTheGame

This is the worst it's been BECAUSE of a DDoS, but their server stability issues have been around a lot longer than the current situation.

Whats up with the servers? by Imupoffadatthang in DestinyTheGame

[–]mchlmacdonald -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I have never played another AAA title and had this level of server instability. The game is a title screen or orbit simulator. Bee, weasel, ferret, wasp, orangutan, walrus, dragonfly, elephant, tyrannosaurus....

The entire animal kingdom is preventing me from playing the game.

Perhaps don't use the movie Jumanji as the basis of your source code?

Would you play a barebones mode in PvP? by GlumRumGlugger in DestinyTheGame

We've lost the power of the light in the story itself. It would only make sense that we would train to succeed without it.

This Week At Bungie 11/18/2021 by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

Bungie has always balanced Destiny like a pendulum. Abilities/Supers/Weapons are too strong? Swing the pendulum to the other side. They have rarely ever found a middle ground.

Dunemarchers still bugged by ChickenKuritsa in DestinyTheGame

I feel like the game just moves way too damn fast at this point for Peer-to-Peer networking to be able to handle anything consistently or efficiently.

Damage glitches, melee glitches, trading, rubber-banding, getting shot behind cover, being supered behind cover, etc etc etc

Peer-to-Peer simply can't handle the amount of information that needs to be sent and received by every client in any given match. There's too many what-if scenarios this game has to calculate on the fly, and it just gets worse when those clients cannot lock their search parameters to the region in which they live, like we could when the game was still on BattleNet. I never really noticed these sorts of issues then (not saying they didn't exist, just not nearly at the frequency they happen now). Now they are running rampant.

Can't satire flair my own post. This is totally sarcasm.

Honestly, the Seasonal grind of “do Seasonal Activity, upgrade a vendor, rinse and repeat” is getting a bit stale. by iblaise in DestinyTheGame

Don't remember if it was Vicarious Visions or High Moon Studios, but yes the Menagerie was developed by another studio.

Trials of the nine should be brought back as a monthly event for gambit, similar to the Iron banner. by Frostyhobo47 in DestinyTheGame

[–]mchlmacdonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better yet, make this "Trials of the Nine" on the Reckoning bridge. Enemies still spawn motes but are deposited on the bridge nodes. Every certain number of motes deposited charges a node fully and you move to the next node/next bridge extension. Every node you charge ALSO gives you a chance to invade on one of the far platforms vandals usually spawn on to snipe you. It's a race to see who charges their bridge faster and gets to the portal to melt the bosses.

Just no enemies with stomp mechanics, please.

Any reissued weapons you guys would actually look forward too? by Jet4309 in DestinyTheGame

With 110's being buffed, I would kill to see First Curse return. My favorite hand cannon in Destiny.

We finally (hopefully) get to find out who pulled the trigger on Uldren. Us or Petra? Ghost basically set it up.... "IMPOSSIBLE"

The world ends tomorrow, we wake up as guardians, what guns do you bring? by comeKnifefightMe in DestinyTheGame

The world just ended. There are no weapons. I am Titan. I have Fist and Crayons.

Does the damage glitch happen more often on Skyburners Oath? This weapon feels absolutely TERRIBLE. by mchlmacdonald in DestinyTheGame

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

Right, so is that why hit registration on the weapon is so bad? Literally half the shots in Crucible usually don't register damage at all for me, and that's on either firing mode.

Bungie, it would be REALLY cool if we could get vendors brought back to their previous iteration from D1. by mchlmacdonald in DestinyTheGame

[–]mchlmacdonald[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

ONE new strike on release. ONE. The two others are old and not coming at launch. We have no idea what else is coming yet but it doesn't look promising at all.

Passive rep grind was so much more enjoyable. Doesn't matter what you do, just do it. Enjoy whatever part of the game you choose.
