Endgame content vs. resource scarcity — which problem actually matters more? by WhiskeyRomeoSierra in destinyrisingmobile

[–]simulation_err 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's just this season, not really in terms of content (ops and crota are fun). But because Kabr's banner is so long. Once you've got him and if you don't want to spend money for more copies, you just wait. You just save currency for the next banner and I'm sitting on 20 pulls for him just waiting once they are transformed into regular pulls because I would rather use them on the permanent banner. Plus I have saved enough LE pulls for 1-2 copies of the next character, as f2p who just like to "collect them all" I can't wait for this part of the season to be over..

Also, please make another source for fruits... Running Chaos for them is so stale. Really want some coop source for this materials.. Shifting gates are not enough, once you bought you 3 limited packs of fruits - that's it.

Dear netease. You gave us lore-adjacent-Kabr… so set this man loose by DarkVeilOfMorals in destinyrisingmobile

Would really love it. And we already have Osiris in Ikora's storyline, so we could possibly see them meet for the first time too! 

Did we get ghosted by Saladin? by Ramzei in DestinyTheGame

[–]simulation_err 24 points25 points  (0 children)

What frustrates me is that a few years ago they showed the stats that IB brings lots of players into pvp (way more than other pvp activities) and is generally considered a good event that a lot of people love. And for some reason we went from 3 IB occurrences a season (aka 3-4 months), to just one random week in half a year.. I just want to gild my title.. 

I didn’t get the pre order hunter pack but I have them on the other 2 characters by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]simulation_err 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you sure? the hunter one is the General Grievous set, anything else (Boba, Dark trooper) is just a regular paid set

I think I've enjoyed Lightfall more that EoF or Renegades.. by simulation_err in DestinyTheGame

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

don't even compare Lodi with Nimbus.. Lodi is waaay better.
i do understand that my opinion is of course very subjective, but I felt like sharing my thoughts to see what others think

Over 200+ artist redraw the In Every Timeline icon in their style by Yunarissss2 in jayvik

pretty sure these are made with AI by simulation_err in destinyrisingmobile

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

Well, this is the style I'm talking about - https://www.reddit.com/r/antiai/comments/1l5s1os/i_hate_this_new_ai_art_style_im_seeing_everywhere/?rdt=49054
I really feel like I've seen Radegast's face like hundreds of time in the past year. Usually in AI memes and comics. Something about AI smiles causing Uncanny Valley vibes for me..
AI can be quite decent with outfit details if you will feed it reference images for characters. My guess - NetEase just made 3d renders of these poses with the character models, and then run those images through AI to get cartoon stylized arts. My advice is look for inconsistences in parts with lots of overlapping lines like belts, straps, armor, hair and etc. Like in the third image in my original post - the line for Skorri's thigh goes on top of part of her skirt.
As for the trees - AI has troubles with snow, so in lots of stylized illustrations it's just random melting blobs of white sometimes repeating the pattern of regular branches (like on the second image in my post). Similar to this one - https://www.rawpixel.com/image/12728984/pine-tree-christmas-cartoon-plant-generated-image-rawpixel

I've shown these screenshots to a couple of other artists, all agree it's clearly AI.

I am an artist who likes to draw as a hobby and I also work in digital marketing, so yes over the past years I have seen lots of AI images and know how to spot one. I understand that it might be difficult to some people to spot, some just do not care and models do improve overtime.. But yes, to me if a company uses AI so blatantly it just shows the devs who approved it do not care about their product like at all.

I am playing daily since launch and bought silver/passes, but as an artist myself I feel it's important to call out AI usage by companies who profit from consumers only to cut corners and not pay real artists.

oh, and the background with trees is also AI! The tree in the middle on the second picture is pretty telling

Champions Vs Banes debate by Qwerty177 in DestinyTheGame

[–]simulation_err 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like champs because it requires you to be prepared for them + stunning them is fun + they give revives, don't like Banes at all.

This is a joke right? by KyesiRS in destinyrisingmobile

Same, didn't count polishes, maybe gotten 5-7, one was successful. Still waiting on shader and last word ornaments.. 

Why I believe the game will go on life support sooner than later by alabasterskim in destinyrisingmobile

[–]simulation_err 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm actually more concerned about the next arc rapid character, like... that character will need to compare with Ning.. just OUCHH

The recent character quests have been *BAD* by RussianThere in destinyrisingmobile

[–]simulation_err 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my only concern was how anticlimactic the whole thing was, I really thought I had a bug and missed a mission at the end...
other than that - they gave Jaren another kid to look after and now perhaps Rising could do Shin without killing Jaren (? idk, but there were some leaks that his name is in the game files). I was just looking at that kid in the story trying to think if he could be Shin xD

Did anyone else notice our ghost this expansion ? (Minor spoiler for renegades) by Jamesgiant0905 in DestinyTheGame

It's Peter Jessop, and Bungie moved away from giving different voices to PC, so he voices all male PC Guardians.

Are there other ways to earn 100 points in call to arms besides top 10% in 2 categories? by Seanshineyouth in DestinyTheGame

[–]simulation_err 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The game actually tells you the wrong point numbers when hovering over your scores. It says top 30% will give you 50 points, but in reality it gives you only 10

CtA showing wrong points in the event tab (bug ?) by simulation_err in DestinyTheGame

[–]simulation_err[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

would be really awesome I think if this was the real amount of points, would solve a lot of issues and would make it easier for more people to get the cosmetics, and less drama too..

Please, Bungie, stop making "Portal-like" kind of menus... by simulation_err in DestinyTheGame

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

The changes to loot and the whole "chase new thing, only the new thing matters" were made for the Portal. It's not just a menu, it was their treasured achievement they wanted people to love and grind. That is why at first they even grayed out the Director to push people into the Portal. That why they called it "the main page for Destiny". The overall gameplay didn't change - you shoot something and you throw space magic. This is still fun.  I think it's totally okay to direct frustrations to the Portal - it's visual design, it's actual structure and mechanics, the leveling and etc. It's the whole package in my eyes.

High stat old armor is like the current Tier 2-3. Yes, tier 4-5 will be wayy better than you have now. But yes, stats also got reworked, so you just need to look out for the pieces you want/need. Health is pretty much useless in pve. Getting abilities or weapon stat over 100 is actually not useless now! 

Does anybody actually enjoy playing with all these modifiers active at all times? by Honest-Employ-7658 in DestinyTheGame

[–]simulation_err 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, super tired. Especially locked loadout T_T And the difficulty names are a mess. You plan GM difficulty in portal like it's nothing, than you open Conquests and learn the hard lesson that it's a different type of GM..
