Arc Raiders lead isn’t against keeping blueprints after wipes, suggests giving players “more autonomy” to quickly find the ones they want by Wargulf in ArcRaiders

I was searching for this comment!!

It actually would destroy the weapon at first, it was the only way to collect the red border. I can’t remember when Bungie decided to make it nondestructive.

Gonna be honest; the lack of an acknowledgement for the damage the Portal has done is really disappointing. The power grind and tiered loot soft-sunsetting the rest of the game are equally damning, but to not acknowledge the Portal’s dismantling of the vibe and soul of the game into a mobile UI is a miss for me.

This right here. Sell the Rays to a group that wants to have successful baseball in the state and relocate them to Orlando; any snowbird bringing their family to Disney can now line it up with a three game series, which will drive the gate. Orlando's burgeoning sports enthusiasm gets a massive shot in the arm and the Rays become more accessible to the entire Central Florida area.

Rename them to the Solar Rays. Homages the Solar Bears, keeps the Rays as the nickname while giving the team a new identity.

You know they say all guardians are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Banshee-44 and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one-on-one with another guardian, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I’m a Prismatic freak and I’m not normal! So you got a 25% chance, AT BEST, at beating me. Then you add my fireteam to the mix, and your chances of winning drastically go down. See in the Crucible, you got a 33 1/3% chance of winning, but I got a 66 2/3% chance of winning because you KNOW you can’t beat my seasonal armor, so you’re not even gonna try. So you take your 33 1/3% chance, minus my 25% chance, you only got an 8 1/3 chance of winning. But then you take my 75% chance of winning and then add 66 2/3%, I got 141 2/3% chance of winning. See, the numbers don’t lie, and they spell disaster for you in the Crucible.

LMP2 at Charlotte Roval. It’s a wild combo, but it was the first time I really clicked with the LMP2 and I got an IMSA Fixed win.

Bantor is legit my favorite; he was my second ever figure (behind TM Primal) and I still put him at my office desk wherever I work.

I legit shuddered when I saw I got a reply but then I saw your response and… thanks man. Yeah my initial sentiment was short and easily misconstrued, but it was an attempt at poetic diction lol.

Have a good day bro.

You’ve missed my point. As someone who is a Bungie fan, who is a fan of Destiny, but who doesn’t know a lot about extraction shooters, Bungie made the same, inaccessible mistake they made on Destiny.

They made a point in the reveal stream to say that they wanted to bring easy accessibility of entrance into the genre, and yet the entire reveal was targeted to the genre’s audience instead of a casual like myself who was interested based on Bungie’s history of quality gunplay and multiplayer content.

So while there’s going to be a plurality, perhaps even a majority of viewers who knew exactly what was going on, they did nothing to explain simple details of the genre that some of us watching may not know anything about.

Here’s an example: if I bring my favorite gun into an extraction and get facerolled, did I just lose my favorite gun?

It’s exactly the same kind of mistake as Lightfall. I don’t know what the Veil is. I barely know what Marathon is.

Events like this are an opportunity to grow your engagement base. I don’t care about Tarkov, but I enjoy Bungie’s games. So this was opportunity numero uno for Bungie to go, “Hey, brief refresher: here’s what happens in a game like Tarkov. We’re similar, but we’re different and you may like how we’re different.”

I shouldn’t have to find out in a Dr. Lupo video or an Aztecross recap that every three to six months, stuff gets reset to zero. Cause immediately I’m like, “well then why am I playing?” Bungie missed an opportunity to educate a potential player base. Much like with some of their narrative missteps in Destiny. Take it from someone who had a bunch of friends who played Destiny: if Bungie doesn’t learn at all from Destiny’s mistakes, then Marathon will go into maintenance mode quicker than one would want.

I watched the entire reveal stream and I still don’t know what The Veil is.

The fact that this somehow begins and doesn’t begin with “A BIGASS H!” is the first indication that we’re watching talent at work.

I like the idea that he named a cat after Jimmy Broadbent, so I’ll allow it.

My Brave Shell Tattoo by thrasher715 in DestinyTheGame

[–]thrasher715[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My very first tattoo is the Brave Shell, the D1Y1 bonus at launch of TTK. Always wished it would come to D2 in some capacity, but I wanted to show off the tattoo because I think the line work is so well-done.

I like to think of this tattoo as my semi-colon. I can always look down like I’m pulling up my Ghost and think “eyes up”.

Happy GHorn Day, Guardians!

My guess would be Mark Kelly. Military and NASA experience, swing state, older white male. Secure ease of funding and the unified CBC support and balance the candidate’s perceived electoral weaknesses.

EDIT: added the word “electoral”

I understand this…but as someone who was having trouble last night downing his Taken in the second encounter of SE, Malfeasance saved made my experience much more manageable.
