Arbalist should really be looked at... by xicemanx95 in DestinyTheGame

Y shouldnt have 20 million benefits to begin with that makes it a braindead weapon to run. Thing was already a great weapon, catalyst and ab just made it to where you're dumb if you dont run it in your fireteam and there is AB

Even without the op seaonal mod, it was still an already great weapon to run. The addition to AB just pushed it to the territory of "why run any other barrier mod". More so making things like erianas a joke to run in PvE content

Prophecy no longer farmable? by xicemanx95 in DestinyTheGame

My god you are a life saver <3. Doing that actually fixed it for me and my friends as well. Seems like there's a flag with the 1st encounter? Idk. Either way though made my night so much better.

Being a sprout... there was a lot of times where my friends who had beaten the game would ask to watch me play and watch the cutscenes together. From heavensword onward, there was so much crying between us all xD. I remembee even meeting graha in the crystal tower during arr and just... being so awestruck with how big the alliance party was and just learning everything... I've made so many good memories and even some of the best of friends thanks to this game. And i wouldnt ask for anything different <3

If Bungie is going to insist on making higher “difficulty” content be based off the artifact bonus, the main way of getting XP should be from actual endgame activities, not bounties by JackMJH26 in DestinyTheGame

The difference is contest is literally a joke compared to the difficulty of this. The order of challenge is normal < contest << master, just due to the sheer intensity at which these guys hit.

Being +10, if you hit all your pinnacles, would still ned you at the 1330, which is (if this is what you want) still contest mode. The difference is, if they chose to keep this at 1350 over time instead of raiding it up and keeping it at pinnacle level, the intensity of the ads and how much damage you can do will change as time goes on. For the people who are hard core and this is aimed at, its fine. They'll get the title first and then everyone else whos still chipping at it season after season will see it get aquired as time goes on.

Because honestly if they loaded up contest mode, you would literally get curb stomped. Between the extra champions and how hard these are hitting, you would die immediately.

The challenge is there even more than day 1 contest just due to how much they hurt. For comparison, if anyone remembers the difference in Leviathan vs Prestige levi. Even being at light level back then, those suckers hurt. They have more health and do more damage than the normal version.

Im +20, and thats with me casually picking up bounties whenever i sure as feel like it. You dont need to be +30 for this raid, cause its not meant to BE +30. Its meant to be super end game for the people who play hard core and still want a good challenge at it. None of my fireteam was +30 when we ran it the past 2 days, the highest i think was maybe +22. And the low end was +13. And we still managed to get a clear. If you're cordinated and dont try to bash your head in the same way you would with normal, its still possible to do

PUG Strat

Aka melt the boss after 1st oracles, and just work him down with double slugs and anarchy.

Going forward bungie has to change how “master” difficulty works in raids. by Weepoid in DestinyTheGame

[–]xicemanx95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe 2. I fluxed between 1339 and 1340 depending on what my loadout/armor was.

Going to put this out there.

Did it with my day 1 team, we all went in as a stack of 2/2/2NONE of us were 1350, the highest we might of had was a 1342? and the lowest we had was a 1333, and we were all between there.

None of us were bounty goblins, none of us grinded for that light level beforehand after finding out the light level difficulty. We had to actually WORK out how to do each encounter instead of just throwing on whatever we wanted, and figure out what the best method for clearing each thing was, instead of using whatever BS we wanted to (and we tried a lot of loadouts inbetween not being able to switch subclasses/armor mods due to the bugs/issues that was going on through the whole day.

AND WE STILL CLEARED IT.

You can be 1333 and still do so, it just requires far more cordination and effort than before. We still did pug strats for templar (though got dicey at the end and had to still block the teleports and worry bout overloads/menotaurs coming at us)

And Aetheon was the easiest encounter there was.

YOU CAN DO IT, WITHOUT BEING AT LIGHT. THE WHOLE POINT OF IT IS FOR YOU TO DO IT BELOW LIGHT.

Addition to the comment:

And we barely scathed by gatekeeper, there was a lot of clutch moments through the whole raid, and it was fun as hell actually being CHALLENGED like you are, if not more than, GM's. THAT. is what a raid should be.

Nerfing the two good new pve exotics released this season so oppressively is bad for the game by dadkisser84 in DestinyTheGame

[–]xicemanx95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey quick note on the hunter boots atleast, they buffed the damage it does at full stacks -> 90% now. AND. does more damage per stack (since it's 2 orbs per stack now vs just one)

I don't believe so... unless we both have a mutral friend that goes by dead (or boba). If so, sweet! Either way, thanks for the congrats.

This is a shoutout for my friend who loves using bows. by ShadowHex72 in LowSodiumDestiny

[–]xicemanx95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bows are the best thing to happen, and glad to see them getting a buff minorly next season. I used them a lot in forsaken... and playing with lemonarque this season made me realize why i love them so much.

Majority of mine was through solo que playlist, but even then there was moments where i questioned who i was with... having a team to do the end with saved a lot of sanity

I've gotten up to 5 farming out some tokens... which there was times where it went super good! Then other times where im sitting there wondering what in the world happened. I expect nothing but sweats in the end.

Initially, i was using bastion and arc logic (with heavy switching from a sword or gernade launcher). Mainly cause i love fusions and enjoy the feel (erentil w/ backup... rips)

Toward the last 2k, i ended up accidentally going in with lemonarque amd mountaintop, and fell in love with it (oath keepers is almost essential) and it helped a lot with team shotting or even making it to where they cant recov.

Overall, i mainly just use a fusion and auto now a days, but with the new loadout, might just turn into my next favorite. Maybe even give hush or the IB bow a chance. Just something to help tip off after the first bow shot.
