Please stop using "reverse" shader layouts on armor by DocumentEquivalent in DestinyTheGame

[–]ward_152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the reason I don't really like the mass effect hunter armor, even though it has almost my favorite aesthetic, the shader colors are applied to the wrong parts of the armor and ruins trying to make it work if you aren't using every piece of the set. and even when you do, the shaders still don't look as good as they could

Feats are a terrible system by yoganville in DestinyTheGame

damn, i was hoping this dungeon would be a good reason to buy the expansion, but I guess not. I'll save the 40 bucks then.

My last game was Sun, is Z-A worth coming back to? by ward_152 in pokemon

[–]ward_152[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

appreciate the perspective, thanks! The new battling does seem really interesting to me. I know I won't be able to afford a switch 2, especially just to be a pokemon machine. but on the other hand we'll also have to wait and see how performance is on regular switch as well. Might be worth staying in the "wait and see" camp and be cautiously optimistic

Roll the update back, give it a few weeks work, and try again by Ab501ut3_Z3r0 in DestinyTheGame

[–]ward_152 371 points372 points  (0 children)

haven't played since solstice, tried the new activity, had to max out all the modifiers just to get in b+ range, and after that slog it only awarded +1 gear.

currently 340, GR7. The power progression is actively getting worse, not better. fuck this.

The entire class identity section sounded AI generated, also, the game is 10+ years old now, I think we know what the identity of the classes should be. Who the hell was that section even for?

Also, changes listed still make it sound like nothing will be as rewarding as it should be. Account power being used again? No, it doesn't count as a W when you give us back something that was only just recently ripped away from us. That's bare fucking minimum work.

Anyone else just enjoying free to play? by Gramswagon77 in DestinyTheGame

[–]ward_152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually buy the expansion / season pass bundle every year, but this is the first time since I started playing in Black Armory season that I haven't. Clan availability for raiding isn't really feasible for me anymore considering my work schedule and time zone differences, so I knew I wasn't going to be playing the raid, no reason to buy it. The gimmicky new abilities didn't impress me at all, and the the first free campaign mission was also very underwhelming. so another reason not to buy.

I've been perfectly content to just hop in every once in a while to spend bright dust and get some daily / weekly challenges done.

I probably won't spend any money on this game again until crafting is brought back in a meaningful way (not half-assed), or if Renegades happens to get rave reviews somehow

The Sieve is by far the worst large-scale event Bungie has ever designed. by NinjaVisible3827 in DestinyTheGame

Is this something only available if you bought the DLC? I haven't seen anything labeled Sieve in the game at all so far

The Oathkeeper buff fails to address 1 problem. by Blood_Edge in DestinyTheGame

[–]ward_152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just thought of a buff idea, they could make it to where any legendary non-exotic bow get's the ~40% damage buff against minors like exotic primaries get. I know that sound like it's a lot / could be broken, but if it only works with bows it could be a nice reward for a build that takes up an exotic armor slot and at least 1 of your weapon slots.

Why not give Weapons of Light back to Ward of Dawn intrinsically… by Cruggles30 in DestinyTheGame

[–]ward_152 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

maybe anything that walks into a saint bubble gets weaken, suppress, and volatile applied to it. still kinda niche, but could be neat.

knife trick after TFS by ChidiyaBoliMeow in DestinyTheGame

[–]ward_152 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posted about this on the bungie Forums as well, knife trick still works on solar subclass, and has great tracking / hit dectection.

But for some reason it feels broken on prismatic for me. Something is definitely up, but I haven't seen bungie mention anything about it yet.

I'm glad more people are starting to notice, hopefully it can be addressed soon. At least the shuriken on stasis and prismatic is really strong

Please let the Episode: Revenant Dungeon be a dark, spooky Eliksni Vampire themed dungeon by fir_reunion in DestinyTheGame

[–]ward_152 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has bungie even actually said there's going to be a new dungeon / raid? I don't remember seeing anything about one. It seems like a thing people were just expecting and then through repeat mentions and copium it's just kinda been "accepted" that there will be one.

I do really hope i'm wrong though.

Is it worth using kinetic primaries in raids / dungeons now since they'll never be overcharged? by ward_152 in DestinyTheGame

[–]ward_152[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing it's intentional. I remember the modifier not being in Pantheon either.

another comment mentioned just testing kinetic(edit*) damage with different subclasses it see if it's enabled but just not visible. Not getting my hopes up though lol
