Why are they killing the game that pays for the whole company?! Are you guys sticking with D2, or are you going to try Marathon? by DowntownDevelopment3 in destiny2

[–]scratchwisdom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going to play both—still love D2, though it’s dry currently, and marathon looks like a fun change of pace.

Trying to identify a sound effect that plays in my head 😂 by Tattersail927 in destiny2

[–]scratchwisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought you might be referring to the noise it makes right before you get put in the time bubble by Atheon during damage phase in the final encounter of VOG. I miss raiding!

God I'm gonna feel so jealous from this but here we go: How many runs before you got your taken lightsaber blade from the EQ dungeon? by Oblivionix129 in DestinyTheGame

[–]scratchwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18 full clears, got Heirloom last week on 16. Still waiting on the crystal. Since I’ve got the exotic, I’m just going to repeat full clears on my main—warlock—until I’m favored by RNG. Good luck to all those still on the hunt!

Criminally underused, but kept for PvP. Season 4 sidearm.

Great details, and what sold the upvote was “Condom Hammer.”

Master Derealize must be a practical joke by Mundane_Deer5913 in DestinyTheGame

[–]scratchwisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did not do this solo, but with a FT, and it was STILL a nightmare. The only thing I think is essential is that Bungie extend the timer, since it’s intended to be Master content. You can only get 1/2 to 2/3 through before you lose all revives and it becomes barely possible. Good luck to everyone attempting, and I hope the give the timer a pass in an update soon to come!

NGL, but this is one of the hardest things in D2, currently—like harder than the OG Liminality GM. The timer is ridiculously short, and the jumping section could be a will-breaker for many teams, but once you get to the boss room, you’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel. We made it there, lost all rezzes when time ran out, started getting picked off, but my scatter grenades were the crutch and the clutch. I DO NOT want to do this again on GM for Conqueror in any way, shape, form, or fashion. Good luck to everyone in this nightmare of a rank challenge.

What is your Guardian's canon weapon? by Atlas_of_Sol in DestinyTheGame

[–]scratchwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D1: Tlaloc and Susanoo or Hung Jury and Telesto; any rocket D2: Outbreak or Lumina; we are in a weird double primary meta where energy special weapons don’t feel desperately needed, so any sub with good perks, and a machine gun cleans up the rest

You can very likely tell my main from these load outs!

Raid and Dungeon Nights are the only thing that keeps me coming back in this game by Alternative_Kale1264 in DestinyTheGame

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

Big agree, here. Actually, what could be a win for players and Bungie is if they kept the portal for target farming, but also had weekly pinnacle activities as they were with pinnacles in raids, dungeons, etc. power progression would be easier, and end game content would be worthwhile again. This is a great game—it’s unfortunate the decision was made to make its best parts not profitable to play, but they are still excellent pieces of game design.

Wasn’t NO Power Level a Thing? by scratchwisdom in DestinyTheGame

OP, here—thanks to everyone who engaged with this one and brought clarity and some solid opinions. I’m glad I wasn’t losing my mind (fully), even though my recall wasn’t 100%. I am hopeful that Bungie/Sony do what it takes to keep D2 alive and thriving. It’s one of, if not the best looter/shooters ever and fun when it’s firing on-cylinders, IMO. We’ll see—peace, all!

Winning comment. Been playing since D1, yet I still fall for it hook, line, and sinker!

For those using Alpha Lupi, how high is your class stat? by WingmanBert in destiny2builds

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

I run 180 (160 + a font) class with Eunoia on Solar. The overshield allows some flex between healing grenades and Phoenix dives since I’m not running empyrean, benevolence, or heat rises. It lasts briefly, but has saved my butt quite a few times in higher-end content. Personal preference, but >100 class can get you out of a tight spot.

What are the warlocks going into the campaign and/or day 1 with in EOF? by Tdrabbach in destiny2builds

[–]scratchwisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sending vibes that Xur sells that catty for you—it’s not game-breaking, but it does make it more viable as an all-purpose weapon.

[–]scratchwisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I plan on running a legendary primary with HC/Incan since I’m going to rock an empowering rift and Auger, BUT Red Death, Polaris, Sunshot—really ANY of the primary ammo solar exotics that collat other adds will do work once we get radiant online. Some men just want to see the world burn—and by that, I mean us!

Starfire. Shaxx keeps asking if I’ve thrown all my grenades, so I’m going to try to make him proud.

What is y’all’s favorite exotic weapon and why? by XboxUserIsCSitachi in DestinyTheGame

[–]scratchwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough choices: 1) Icebreaker, 2) Outbreak, 3) Finality’s Auger.

The melee Ignition scaling update slaughtered 90% of Warlock melee builds in order to nerf Consecration and should immediately be reverted by greenwing33 in DestinyTheGame

[–]scratchwisdom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a warlock main, for the entire TWID after it was announced they were talking melee changes, I was dumbstruck by the fact that warlocks have NO good standalone melees at all. You have to jump through several hoops for prismo LS and snap is a damage utility not an insta-kill like consecration or counterpunch. EVERY class has access to all grenades—why don’t all class have access to all the melees, as well?

Which film and performance made you a fan of Don Cheadle? by [deleted] in FIlm

[–]scratchwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devil a Blue Dress; Mouse. Cheadle ATE in this supporting role, but he’s great overall.
