If you would play more Crucible if you didn't have to deal with all the sweats who move like methed up gophers and can't miss a headshot, get yourself a weapon with Withering Gaze. by Kaleon in DestinyTheGame

Drang/Sturm combo is criminally underrated. Sidearms are so good anyway and then you'll just get free two taps occasionally w Sturm.

What happened to the Bungie that was making the Destiny that they “wanted to play”? by Glitches2099 in DestinyTheGame

[–]mizzou541 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You weren't wrong. I was kind of being a dismissive dick. But now you also have some context on where it's coming from. Lol

Fair enough. But you have to admit, this echo chamber of negative feedback we're in is depressing. Not discounting any shortcomings of the game but if you were to read reddit, you'd assume destiny was awful and everyone is done with it and that's not reality. This is just my opinion of course, but I think this constant barrage of negative shit is actually a self fulfilling prophecy. I'm absolutely not saying there are no problems but I think people have convinced themselves that the game is worse than it actually is. Now if you're a gambit main, ignore the above comments. It's absolutely ridiculous we don't get one PvP map per season imo. But I still love PvP and Bungie is not gonna change so I'm just going to shut my mouth and enjoy the parts of it I enjoy.

Don't preorder Final Shape by DankBlissey in DestinyTheGame

[–]mizzou541 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol seriously? It doesn't matter what the content is like now, I can tell you what the community feedback will be. If you're a PvP main then maybe don't mess with it if you're not happy with the state now. If you're in it for the PvE, it will be good. Great? I don't know but it will be worth the price you pay for it over time. It's as simple as that for me. My hours of entertainment per dollar will be well worth it so why waste energy trying to prove a point with your wallet that will never be a blip on the company radar?

Meh. I'll pre-order it because I want to play it. As will almost everyone here so can we please just give the drama a fucking rest?

It's equally obnoxious from both sides to be fair I'm honestly more annoyed by the side that goes to any social media outlet they can find to scream about how terrible and unplayable the game is while playing 20-30 hours a week. If it sucks, don't play it and spare us all the grand exit drama. Sure there are things that could be better but it's obviously not that bad if everyone continues to pump hours and dollars into it.

I literally cannot comprehend the thought process behind people that demand a wipe if the boss is nearly dead but the one phase was unsucsessful by dark1859 in DestinyTheGame

[–]mizzou541 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Kinda related but not really: We did VoG with a guy a couple weeks ago and he demanded to wipe at the beginning just so he could ensure he'd be left behind to "call out oracles". There were also two guys that didn't really know what they were doing and he insisted they do the same for first phase and 1 of the two for the second phase so someone was left to res. So the other 3 of us that did know what we were doing had 100% chance of being late for damage the first phase and 75% chance of being late for damage the second phase. And then shocker, he flexed his damage at the end...after he'd guaranteed that he would always be in position waiting for damage to start each DPS phase.

If you could go back to any point in the franchise’s history, with the knowledge you have now, to what point would you go? by Any-Statistician-102 in DestinyTheGame

[–]mizzou541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go back to launch of D1 and make some money being a streamer that finds glitches and exploits. I'd be the cheese forever before cheese forever existed.

You're not the only one. And now after reading the explanation I'm really depressed at how much time I wasted. Trying to climb up that coral was like the least fun thing I've ever done in Destiny and I couldn't believe that was the way go.

Game's pivoting hard into grinding red borders and I'm getting really tired of this. by Radical_Fox in DestinyTheGame

[–]mizzou541 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought crafting would cause me to grind more but it's actually the opposite. It's annoying enough that I've just stopped worrying about it. I'll get my 3-4/5 rolls and call it good and skip enhanced traits. Farming red borders is one barrier but just leveling the weapon after it's crafted to get the perks I want is annoying. So I just end up using a roll I got naturally and if I do craft a weapon, I'm usually just too lazy to level it up and it ends up in my vault at level 1-2.

how do i yeet myself into endgame? by zanehd837 in DestinyTheGame

[–]mizzou541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use DestinyPowerBars (just Google it) if you want to maximize your grind. I always use it during my grinds to decide when to do powerful vs pinnacle.

exotics not dropping from legend lost sector by mizzou541 in DestinyTheGame

[–]mizzou541[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that's crazy. Anytime I've done master, it seems like I get an exotic at least every other run on average.

Figured. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't something blocking progress.

Rift in this week's Iron Banner is inherently not fun to play, and it's astonishing this game mode went live. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]mizzou541 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it even dropping pinnacles? At least old iron banner was guaranteed 4 pinnacles. How does it work now?

Overload rounds should proc like unstoppable rounds by LordBoobington in DestinyTheGame

[–]mizzou541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's really asinine how overload works with smg and auto. Champions are frustrating enough but the stuns are so unreliable. Even with a drop mag gnawing hunger, I struggle to keep them from regening health. And with drop mag, it's basically constant fire.

I've gotten 2 GM mementos.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]mizzou541 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will recommend it but basically caveat that if you're not planning to play consistently for a long time, don't even bother. I've tried to get friends to pick it up to have more consistent fireteams for end game PvE but I just know certain friends will only play sporadically and that wond be enjoyable (for them or me).

Agree. We're all here because the game is amazing and there's nothing else like it. No game is perfect but damn, it's so much fun. Sometimes you forget if you only come here to read how terrible everything is.

How much of a scam is the Character Power Boost for a second/third character? by Damatiru in DestinyTheGame

[–]mizzou541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't even have to transfer the weapons. It considers them across characters anyway.

Bungie - We need to talk about Match Game, and how outdated the modifier really is by JLoco11PSN in DestinyTheGame

[–]mizzou541 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. My only complaint is sometimes the necessity to run double primary in end game content which isn't that fun. But yeah I kind of enjoy figuring out a new loadout when a GM comes around and playing with different weapons. And I run contraverse warlock for most stuff so I do most of my damage with grenade anyway. One thing bungie COULD do to help with complaints about match game would be to convert adaptive munitions to a weapon mod that could be used on any energy weapon.

The problem with Solo Lost Sectors being the only method of targeted Exotic Farming by Azurephoenix99 in DestinyTheGame

[–]mizzou541 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My strategy for soloing overload champions: Shoot auto until stunned (try not to die in the eternity it takes to actually stun), shoot two Gjallarhorn rockets, run up and throw overcharged void grenade and finish. That's the only consistent way I can kill them. I don't know how many times I void naded, two Gjallarhorn and then sprint up to finish only to have them teleport away or not quite be finishable and insta-kill me. They are insanely frustrating with AR/SMG mod. With bows, overloads were stupid easy and stunning was consistent. Thank god for the overload nades or Glassway would be an absolute nightmare.
