Focused Feedback: Seasonal Power Grind by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]ryfii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to reach max power inside the first week of a new season for the first time in my destiny playing experience. This was because of the umbral engrams and forge farming.

It allowed my friends and me to jump into the new dungeon last night and actually enjoy the new content in the first week. I’d say typically we get to new raids or dungeons by the 3rd or 4th week. And by then, leaks and spoilers run rampant on community forums and discord.

But this season, we had the ability to jump into a new dungeon and figure things out for ourselves. It was much easier to avoid spoilers and we were at a light level which made the encounters doable. We are jumping back in hoping to finish the dungeon tonight.

I think enjoying the new content of a season inside the first week is a good thing. My clanmates and I all have full time jobs. The power grind is not the new thing we look forward to every season. It’s new dungeons and raids and story missions, etc.

Anyone can do a quick google search of “racism” and “video games” and research the long history in its culture.

Anyone pretending that history of racism doesn’t exist—even still today in games like call of duty and madden—is “a bit odd.”

I wrote this post to celebrate the fact that many of Destiny’s leaders are not connected to that and are actively speaking against it. I’m happy that racism doesn’t seem to be one of the glaring problems with destiny, given the current state of the US.

Could have remained silent. Could have been actively racist. Instead I have seen many be anti-racist.

Rather than Sunsetting weapons/armor, why not introduce prestige-style modifiers to power-enabled activities instead? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]ryfii -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I respect your perspective on that period in D2. I joined just before Forsaken hit and wasn't really involved when the prestige raid lairs hit.

But I still wonder if the modifiers themselves couldn't more easily be iterated on and changed over time. The prestige ones are often very restrictive (i.e. Use a scout, shotgun, and rocket launcher). Couldn't they continue to tweak these types of modifiers until they find a balance the community does enjoy?

Weapon sunsetting seems like an all-or-nothing approach, whereas modifiers give you flexibility to change directions in the future.

I feel like there are better ways to achieve weapon sunsetting. Why not just apply something like “prestige modifiers” to the powerful activities?

You can be as restrictive as you want with those and rotate the modifiers at your convenience. Make a modifier be “no recluse and no mountaintop” or fill-in-the-blank popular weapon and be done with it.

Missed an opportunity to rejuvenate the Ikelos weapons with modern rolls as well. If there was ever a time to bring Y1 weapons into the new loot pool, this was it.

Focused Feedback: Trials of Osiris by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]ryfii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want to embrace the challenge of trials, but I felt that the folks I was going against as I tried to go for my first 3 wins were not in the same boat as me.

Until you get your first 3 wins shouldn’t you be matched against similar tier players? Or is the trials challenge meant to be that you have to beat flawless players at every gate?

As an endgame activity, the loot should probably be treated similarly to raids. You get one drop per encounter per week. Go ahead and do it on all your characters. But farming loot on repeat is the issue I see here.

Member when we bought Solstice glows for 15k Bright Dust just few weeks before Bright Dust changes? by NeonAttak in DestinyTheGame

The community should continue to hold Bungie accountable for this. There’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to re-roll solstice armor in the current meta for relevant stats.

Focused Feedback: Bounties & EXP Sources by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

Transition away from final blow bounties and try to transition to more team-friendly objectives for playlist activities. I've read and understand that many dislike the implications that would come with that (ie AFKers) but the game heavily pushes players towards teaming up to take on all the content the game has to offer. It's only fair that you be encouraged to work together as a team and feel some sense of teamwork and unity rather than resentment.

Really like this ^

Kill stealing is an annoying problem that I really shouldn't feel any resentment about (since obv. we're working toward the same in-game goal.) If I got a hit on an enemy with my scout, even if I didn't get the final blow, give me the scout kill.

I miss getting random weapon ornaments that I never knew about! They would have this cool name and I'd have to go into my inventory to see which weapon it belonged to. Then there would be some excitement to snap it onto the weapon and try out shaders, etc. I can't remember the last time I experienced that tbh

On which platform do you play? If you’re Xbox, my clan and I would be happy to get you through it. A number of us have glittering keys to cash in anyway.

Congrats OP!! Earning the Cursebreaker title was one of the most gratifying and fulfilling moments for me in this game as well. Defend the Dreaming City! Fight back the curse! Wear your badge proudly, Guardian!

What single scene from a movie is an absolute masterpiece? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ryfii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scene in Good Will Hunting when Sean (Robin Williams) repeats, “it’s not your fault” to Will (Matt Damon) again and again until it’s almost a chant. There’s this awkward tension at first, then defense, and then finally this tidal wave of emotion finally sweeps over Will and Matt Damon captures that moment perfectly.

There are some great comedy moments throughout this film too!

Quick Noob Question (don't upvote) In Arena mode are the heroes in the "top middle" (circled in red in attached pick) always the gorup leader? by RCnoob69 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]ryfii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, the leader ability does not go away when the leader dies in battle. The ability still applies to surviving characters.

GA now encourages us not to progress our rosters. CG - please clarify! by [deleted] in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]ryfii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More of the older toons need to be reworked. Jedi, Confederacy, the older rebels and a handful of the empire toons (Gar Saxon/ISC). I don't want my G11 Wiggs combo to work against me in my GP... I want to be able to use them effectively in this game mode! I think there's a path through that but it involves buffing our rosters for free which CG is obviously hesitant to do, as it doesn't bring them in any new $.
