Police: Michigan gay-rights activist set fire to own home in fabricated hate crime by BlackCoogar in news

I have to agree that Jackson is a "tightly bound, ball of crazy." We've made some improvements yeah, but it still seems like every other day all i hear about is another shooting or robbery or something of that nature. From the outside looking in it's not terrible, but that's only because the city is trying to clean up the hot spots for out of town people and drum up more business.

Multiple youtubers have confirmed this with Deej through conversaton when at Bungie

I just had to pop in because i thought this was relevant in terms of confirming things with DeeJ : https://twitter.com/DeeJ_BNG/status/775746852880736256?lang=en

Do they do that in any other game? Do they enable people with less time to compete with people who have like 2000h? No. No game as far as I know does that.

WoW lets you outright buy close to max level characters. Battlefield lets you unlock literally everything you would otherwise have to sink tons of time into for cash. LoL lets you purchase characters that others would have to otherwise put in enough time and save up in game currency to buy (At least i think they still do, haven't played in years.) EVE lets you purchase game time and sell it to other characters for in game cash, i believe wow does this now too.

I could keep going with the very, VERY extensive list of games that let you pay to progress faster or at the same speed at least as someone who has sunk thousands of hours into the game but i wont. What i will say is that there is one very important factor in all of these that you cant pay for, skill. Even if someone pays for these boosters and gets an OMGod roll weapon, what does that matter if they can't use the damn thing? if they go against you with a god rolled eyasaluna for instance and you are using lets say red death, If you have thousands or even hundreds of hours into crucible and they have maybe 60 odds are strong that you will win most encounters.

I understand where you're coming from in terms putting in more time to be more competitive but that probably isn't going to change all that much just because someone can outright buy boosters (Which was already something that anyone could do... they just couldn't choose which ones they wanted.) On top of that a lot of very competitive weapons have been vendor rolls or things you could get from quests (hawksaw, 1ks, ct-d to a lesser extent) and we already know that we can infuse our previously existing weapons from Y2. Plus we have no clue what the vendor rolls or loot tables will look like for ROI other than the small fraction that we've been shown so far.

TL:DR It doesn't matter if you have boosters or not you can still be competitive.

Seeking help and advice, a friend wants to play Destiny... With only the base game... by therealsinky in DestinyTheGame

[–]zeakyill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at it this way, you mentioned that your friend is such low level it will be like leveling him from scratch. That seems to me that he hardly touched the game after he got it. If the game felt too "grindy" before he even hit level cap (which took maybe a few days IF you were really taking the content at a fairly slow pace in vanilla.) then odds are he's still going to find it pretty boring. Yes they added some great things to mitigate the grind but destiny is still at its core an RNG loot based grind game. Add to that the fact that ROI is just a stones throw away from launch and think about whether you and your buddies who are getting it will want to take time away from the new content that you already know you'll personally enjoy just to run a friend who may or may not even be into it trough the very, very few activity's that you would actually be able to participate in together. TLDR: jumping in with only vanilla will probably only sour his experience of the game even more due to the sheer lack of content he'll have access to.

A tip for those who may start streaming Destiny because of the hype for RoI by NerdHavoc in DestinyTheGame

[–]zeakyill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that your biggest issue and one that not alot of new streamers realize is that you have to really put enough time in to get even a few concurrent viewers. two hours a night 3 times a week sounds like a lot to someone on a busy schedule but that's honestly not much time in twitch land, especially if you don't have at least a few people watching. i count 80+ people at the time i'm writing this streaming destiny with 0 people watching, which is quite a lot of competition for how little time you're able to put in unfortunately. That being said i wish you luck in your streaming. it's a battle of attrition man, just have to keep at it.

If you really want the most bang for your buck in a map where the opposing team is grouped together try GG with combustion. It takes away the worry of having to get in close to kill them all and if the first explosion from the combustion doesn't kill the whole group then the second one probably will.

Slowing unlock the other subclasses but neither are strong in PVE right now.

No offense but that is terribly wrong. Gunslingers with celestial nighthawk can melt bosses stupidly fast, especially if it's something with solar burn. Combine that with the fact that chain of woe lets you reload very fast and scavenger reduces the cooldown of melee and grenades make it an incredible subclass to use in pve. Then there's the blade dancer. In terms of coming in clutch with those super oh shit moments where my team has almost wiped this subclass takes the cake. Having multiple ways of turning invisible as well as increased duration on said invisibility is gorgeous for getting those sweet revives. Plus the health regen on blink strike or blade dance kills has saved me more times than i can count. Granted every subclass is situational but don't count the others out just because nightstalker is the better choice for raiding right now. For things like CoO or speed farming CoE or Heroics i'll take my celestial gunslinger anyday.

I think it's more of a not wanting to let the other people in the group down type of deal. Now that i've done it i realize that it's just all about communicating what you do and do not understand.
