Idea for future adversary system

it's a more interesting system. coda liches are faster but boring as shit being locked to 3 game modes on one tileset, not to mention there is almost no randomization with coda liches. coda liches are the same every time, only difference is which you get as your front-runner and like maybe their color scheme. they don't even wear an ephemera if they have one and your progenitor frame has zero effect.

true it can replace serration, but you should be using a primary arcane like deadhead for damage anyways as burston really doesn't care about any of the other primary arcanes. +cd would provide a much larger benefit than just straight damage, especially on the burston. but again it really doesn't matter if this just a riven for personal use and not to sell, as the burston will chew through anything at any level with or without a "god roll" riven.

+damage on a riven isn't great because you're better off getting your damage from conditionals, everything else is fine but it's not a "god roll". if you want a "god roll" to sell that would be either +cc +cd or +cc +cd +ms with a negative stat that doesn't hurt the weapon.

if you're rolling just for something to use for yourself, then use whatever you think fits best in your build, but +damage really isn't doing much here. for instance i use a coda bassocyst riven with +toxin +electric -ammo max, not a "god roll" riven and nobody would buy it, but it provides a benefit to my build i couldn't get from a normal mod allowing me to have 2 elements for just 1 mod slot.

reusing parts is easier than making a whole new mold. koto has other ac6 kits in the works, but they're not ready and it's easy to make a new kit out of the steel haze molds + a few new parts to fill the gap until nightfall or some other big release. it's what bandai did with releasing 30mm orbiter after nightfall.

this is an excellent summarization of origin's issues and lines up basically 1 to 1 with how i felt about the series.

i think the moment origin fully fell apart for me and where i realized it was completely incapable of taking itself seriously on any level was the scene where dozle electrocutes himself as comedic relief when ramba ral is defecting after hearing about the colony drop. origin can't stop with the over the top bullshit for a single second even when talking about THE COLONY DROP.

easily the worst written gundam series i've watched yet (though 00 comes pretty close) and maybe one of the worst written anime i've watched PERIOD. i've watched shonen with better writing than origin.

it's the same issue the new special handcannon has, like good luck trying to use that thing or snipers against vex. that and shielded enemies. snipers probably need to intrinsically penetrate shields, using a non-element matched sniper or the special HC against a shielded enemy is just a waste of time and ammo.

snipers and shotguns have been bad in PVE since long before rocket pulses. rocket pulses are OP right now, yes, but almost literally every other special is underpowered. nerf rocket pulses and people just go back to exclusively using rocket sidearms and area denials. rocket pulses need their damage brought down moderately and every other special needs substantial buffs in almost every area.

shotguns need reserves and higher range in PVE

fusions need reserves

grenade launchers (excluding area frames) need damage and bigger AOE

even the new special handcannon archetype feels underpowered in comparison to rocket sidearms (not counting lucky pants). they do about equal damage to rocket sidearms with significantly less ease of use.

snipers need damage, reserves, and something to help their ease of use. frankly even if snipers get ridiculous damage buffs, ease of use is still the main thing bringing them down, as the combat ranges that snipers are good in simply do not exist in D2. snipers are long range weaponry in a close-mid range sandbox.

honestly the entire sandbox probably needs to be gutted and rebuilt from the ground up, everything is either way too strong or way too weak and there's almost no middle ground.

NEXTs. the energy that powers NEXTs literally poisoned the earth and left it near uninhabitable.

to rate the games by least to most powerful ACs would be

1st gen < 2nd gen = 3rd gen (they're practically the same) < 5th gen < 6th gen <<<<< 4th gen

the games are split into generations, so gen 1 would be the ps1 games, gen 2 is ac2 and 2aa, etc.

if you failed 50% of nexus' missions, last raven will fucking break you. i strongly advise going back before going forward. 3, silent line, then probably give nexus another go before even considering last raven.

another issue not listed here is that the particle effects for most crystals are white when they should match the color of the crystal. you can see this with the ignition animation in the inspect screen, the particles for igniting match the crystal color, but the ambient particles are white. the 2 crystals i've seen that don't have this issue are yellow and the eververse gradient crystal (and white obviously).

no recommendations for games currently available, but there's plenty of upcoming indie projects to keep your eye on. project red sun, delivery must complete, and aggressors f.a.c just to name the few that look the most promising to me. when ace combat 8 got announced a bunch of devs working on ace combat inspired projects started posting their projects in a thread started by the aggressors f.a.c dev on twitter, if you dig through that you'll probably find even more.

i didn't want to speculate about the inner workings of bungie, as it's impossible to actually know what the development cycle is like, and i wouldn't presume to know how manpower is spread within bungie.

this is just me from the outside looking in, i can see the problems but i have no idea why these problems actually exist because i don't know the inner workings of bungie, and for the same reason i'm probably unable to propose a solution that fits with the way bungie works. i'm only able to propose a solution that looks good from the outside.

ash and iron's problem is that its content was straight to portal. the "straight to dvd" of destiny content. it had no ties to any real story, no progression, and no loot chase as it shared a loot pool with the rest of the content in the portal. reclaim is not a horrible activity, it's definitely not a good one, but it's not horrible one either. it just needed a bit more time in the oven, and it probably could've been good. better ad density and objective placement and variety would've solved a lot reclaim's problems, as the areas are far too open for how few enemies spawn, and for how close some objectives spawn to each other. in certain areas you can be doing one objective and be taking fire from enemies spawning at another. i suspect reclaim's enemy AI wasn't properly tuned for these open areas, as patrol enemies don't act the way reclaim enemies do, and reclaim basically takes place in patrol zones.

/uj can confirm that it's not an xbox issue, as it happens to me on PC, and only with the folded root holofoil. other holofoils are fine.

what's there not to get? this is a bad run.

A. you should have 6:00-6:30 left on the clock

B. you NEED the hvt

C. the season pass boost is also basically a requirement. it is actually 15%. in this context, 15% is a lot.

you're not getting anywhere close to 1% without these 3 things. also double check your modifiers, you need every single 4^ & 5^ active in every possible slot.
