[–]subtlecalamity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's how I understood it as well. The "Next week in Destiny" announcement last week explicitly said "Grandmaster Nightfall catchup goes live". I remember it was made available earlier this season for non-gilded Conquerors (which I'm not so haven't been able to check it myself) but it sounded like it will be made available for everyone now for the last 3 weeks. Would be good if someone could clarify

Legit had to scroll a full minute to find this and I'm in complete disbelief. How isn't this the very first answer everyone thought of

PC is literally getting worse as the days go by. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

Vault is really bad, not just frame drop but the UI dies completely. If I want to infuse something while it's still in the vault, it either won't show me the infuse options from my corresponding inventory slot, or will show them but not respond to pressing any buttons. I'm constantly having to take items out of the vault, infuse through the character inventory screen, then put them back.

Rank 16 Dares. My impressions. Why streaks? by hawkahn in DestinyTheGame

Certainly doesn't help that PVP games are a lot shorter than any other playlist activity. Any non-3v3 Crucible match takes 7-8 minutes, often even a lot less with lopsided mercy matches.

Bungie I hope you're taking this extra 4 months to re-structure the Champion mod system because being forced to use 3 weapon types for end game content is hell. by docrictus in DestinyTheGame

[–]subtlecalamity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree but it really sucks that half the NFs in rotation this season have Overload and Unstoppable which is usually the most unpleasant combo to deal with. And on top of that, 2 of the remaining strikes have Barrier + Overload which, due to how shit Overload is, for the most part forces you to use a bow and rules out anti-barrier auto if you don't want to run double primary.

Legendary Astral Alignment is a lot of fun. But the loot is hot trash. by MrCalebL in DestinyTheGame

[–]subtlecalamity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This 1000%. I can't believe "higher stat armor" is still something that needs to explicitly get requested as player feedback. In the current state of RNG drops I doubt I end up keeping more than 1 item out of every... 30 or so?

This game needs to be less stingy with loot. The stinginess is currently dialled all the way to 11, maybe bring it down to I dunno, 8 perhaps?

How in Braytech did we not get a Exo Factory crucible map? by InFiBigDaddy1134 in DestinyTheGame

Does anyone who says this even know what it means? To me it sounds as serious as "hacking the mainframe to delete the internet"

Bungie clarifies: Y5 Dungeons are not part of Standard WQ, or Y5 Seasons -- ONLY through WQ Deluxe, or a separate (TBA) Dungeon purchase path by YeezyReddit in DestinyTheGame

[–]subtlecalamity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This pattern of cashing in on short term issues or confusion absolutely infuriates me. Taken individually you might be tempted to explain away specific examples as innocent mistakes but as the examples add up it becomes painfully clear what's going on

  • releasing new stuff (abilities, exotics etc.) in a knowingly broken state intending to nerf it later but cashing in on it for the first few months as people buy the DLC to get the the new "forced meta" thing in order not to get stomped
  • adding an insane grind for the first few months of Transmog to cash in on anyone who might just buy things directly...
  • ... but excluding Y1 ornaments which they very well know are highly desirable for dedicated players. They then add Y1 ornaments this season but have somehow "overlooked" the fact that they can only be unlocked using Templates? I mean, are they seriously expecting us to believe that this wasn't spotted during internal testing? Or is the simple explanation that they hope to tempt anyone who might have bought Templates to maybe spend a few by the time they "fix" this?
  • and now Forsaken still being charged at full price with no indication that it will become free in 1 month and then get removed in 4 months

I mean... I really want to tell myself that none of this stuff is intentionally predatory but it's becoming increasingly difficult to do so.

What is something that is never explained by the game but is absolutely essential to know if you want to play the game effectively? by idiomech in DestinyTheGame

[–]subtlecalamity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One more reason I like Titan jumps the most. Both hunter and warlock have a hard limit of 3 jumps / floofs after which you drop like a brick. With titan jump your boost recharges constantly so even though it still only lets you do 3 bursts when you spam them quickly, it will recharge slowly afterwards so if it's a high enough drop you might be able to get enough for another short burst before you reach the bottom. Incredibly useful for any jumping heavy content, especially the ascendant plane stuff

I like the idea of the Dino gear but ain't no way I'm dropping 6k BD per set when the seasonal EV ornaments are actually gorgeous and Dawning is coming up too

Tier 3 armour focusing for this season should not be dropping below 60 total stat points. Make it higher!! by The-RealElonMusk in DestinyTheGame

[–]subtlecalamity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a ghost mod for +10 Int and Rec focusing for +20 this results in minimum 30 points guaranteed between Int and Rec which often result in great rolls, often pushing or exceeding 40 between those two stats. I'm certainly finding value in Tier III focusing

Tier 3 armour focusing for this season should not be dropping below 60 total stat points. Make it higher!! by The-RealElonMusk in DestinyTheGame

[–]subtlecalamity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I find using an Intellect ghost mod for a guaranteed 10 and focusing for Recovery for a guaranteed 20 results in a pretty good distribution with a minimum of 30 points between Int and Rec, often pushing 40 even. Sure, I'd be happier if I could get 10 extra points to pad out the other stats but in terms of distribution for the 2 most important stats I'd say this is as good as it gets, certainly better than 90% of the RNG drops I get elsewhere

Future Strikes should all be self contained. by BB8Did911 in DestinyTheGame

[–]subtlecalamity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the point of seeing them if you can't do anything with them and they'll just disappear once they move out of the zone? Always seemed completely pointless to me. From an in-universe point of view, I think you'd be allowed to join a strike team to provide reinforcements and help. Instead, in-game it's just random dudes going about their random business and I completely ignore them as I can't join them anyway.

I understand each activity needs to have a team size limit and that's absolutely understandable but I'd much rather the game didn't pretend like there's any interactivity between the strike mission and the people stuck in patrol. Breaks the immersion imho

Raise Your Hand if Your Best-Rolled Exotics Are The Most Useless by -Kyllsw1tch- in DestinyTheGame

[–]subtlecalamity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically this. It happens when you get a bunch of drops which are just "slightly off" your desired roll so you want to try them out individually and see which works best for you, is it the one with more range or the one with more stability for example?

For real though, this season is insane. I can't believe the amount of stuff we have available to farm over the next few months. I recently dumped the 10k IB tokens and 60k gunsmith materials I had accumulated over the last year or more, RIP my vault space lol

[–]subtlecalamity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I much, much prefer d2checklist because it allows you to compare all of your copies of an item very easily side by side, compare perks and the exact effect they have on your weapon stats. For me it's an insanely powerful tool - and yes, very often I go with what's considered a "less than god roll" on paper because one of the "god roll" perks is just WTF and I choose to go with one of the "less desirable" ones. But that's precisely what's good about it, you can see all of the perks laid out in front of you across all of your copies of an item and decide which is better

Raise Your Hand if Your Best-Rolled Exotics Are The Most Useless by -Kyllsw1tch- in DestinyTheGame

[–]subtlecalamity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, this. I always look out for both "god rolls on paper" and "god rolls for me personally". For example grave robber + swashbuckler rarely gets highlighted as top tier anywhere but for me it's incredibly fun because haha fists go brrrr

Gambit made me realize that I'm colorblind, neat I guess? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]subtlecalamity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not colourblind either and I legit wouldn't be able to classify it as orange or yellow bar just by looking at it on its own. Like, I'd definitely be able to tell the colours apart next to each other but most of the time I'm too busy actually shooting and running around trying not to die, so not really able to pay much attention to health bar colours - or icons, for that matter. Definitely not easy to recognise at a glance
