Light faded away: >>531952768

doomGODS, status report?

And now, the time of DOOM has arrived, and it will be eternal.

...

Imagine raiding for 19 hours with Mactics and Kujay

>>531989692
imagine raiding at all.

did datto commit suicide on livestream yet?

>>531989865
why would he? this pain is so familiar to him, he craves its arrival, its his best friend.

>Cross now getting spammed invites from the clan NIGGER

>>531990254
he didn't seem too upset by it

>>531989647
More content than EoF for half the price

are they done?
did tranno lose again?

>>531992395
Yes to both. Salt lost too and Tranno isn't even on the final boss yet.

>>531990515
What time was this in stream lol

Aztecross looks so tired, with huge bags under his eyes and erratic behavior. He needs to get some sleep or drink too much coffee, otherwise adios rewards!

>>531992395
>did tranno lose again?
yep
https://x.com/DestinyTheGame/status/1946862660127269284

>>531992506
around 35 minutes ago

>>531992506
About a half hour ago. I'm not sure how long he was live before the raid opened, but it was maybe 19 hours into the race.

>>531992395
He didn't even get close.
>>531992491
Salt actually fucked the world first for his team.

mactics is crying because people on the internet are mean

>>531992649
about 22 hours and 20 minutes into the stream, he was live for around 3 hours before the raid

>>531992649
>>531992632
Lol saw it how is that clan ever allowed lol

so was this a good raid or not

A new raid just dropped and literally no one cares

>>531992870
no

Datto did it!
he cleared the 3rd boss

>me with my Truth

>>531992870
>Mechanics are almost nonexistent
>Bosses are a wyvern, the mini-Argos from Wish, discount Brakion, and Consecrated Mind for the third time

>>531992870
3 identical bosses and one cool one at the end artificially inflated with health and damage along with skull enemies
it was shit, this would be RoN tier if it wasnt for the damage sponginess they added in

excuse me, are the weapons not craftable?

>Les imma be honest i would rather you die than use your well to save your life
kek
also mactics jobbed twice

>>531993127
I have a feeling they 10x the boss hp after the Encore farm getting people to 400 was discovered by Bungie.

>>531992870
>non-linear
>mechanics are piss easy
>contest bosses were given ludicrous health bars
>weapons aren't craftable
easily one of the worst raid races of all time. i give it a month or hell, even two weeks for everyone to move on from this raid

>>531993181
this is a weapon GRINDING game
not a weapon CRAFTING game
ok?
now get in the hamster wheel

>>531992550
Last year he looked like his heart was gonna pop like the kind of sleep deprived health risk shit that some Korean craps out over at the local 24 hour cafe

>>531993107
>Mechanics are almost nonexistent
Based, this raid might actually be fun

i kind of miss playing destiny 2 a little bit. games for these feels?

Frost keeps dying lol

>>531993550
ok I guess warframe is the crafting game then

>>531993830
Warframe's modular weapons could've been great in Destiny

>>531993756
Destiny 1 on the Xbox 360

Warframe is clearly the model to follow in terms of creativity and innovation. Destiny2 has literally been the same game for 10 years, with the same raid and dungeon mechanics. This raid was an opportunity to mark a definite break with the Destiny2 Light and Dark saga. We missed it.

>warframe
>creativity
>innovation

>i don't like it so it's not creative

>>531993830
yup

>>531994191
i have ps5, is anybody doing the raids?

>i like it so it's creative

>>531994727
okay now post the numbers now that the convention has ended

>new system on seasonal sunsetting
>old content practically sunset
>no content no rewards portal
>no crafting for fucking raid weapons
this direction is extremely jewish

it's tough
they've decided to take a break

>>531995297
imagine if mac wasn't here, they would have finished already, what a fucking loser

>>531995297
Raid bosses always enrage after third damage phase, don't they?

>>531994883
they're pretty good

I did The Message on mythic and it didn't count lol. Fuck this game.

>>531995486
>average warframe day is higher than destiny major expansion peak
glim

>>531990254
good, i hate that ragebaiting faggot

>>531995391
Yeah, but the amount of health, the amount of hotswapping required, and the ammo economy are making it brutally difficult to close it out. That's been a constant for every team, and teams have been resorting to abusing a reserves refill bug with Lord of Wolves.

>datto tapping out

YES

>>531993127
RoN at least had cool movement opportunities and rewarded you for taking them.

>>531994727
gookslop

LMFAO.
The Nine truck-kunning Ikora with a train in the middle of nowhere fucking cracks me up.
Also, I guess this would technically confirm that the Guardians have their original souls, right? Since Ikora still bears the mark/energy signature/whatever of the Nine killing her pre-Guardian self.

Remember when all these morons said how somebody would just walk into normal once released and then hop into contest and beat out people who have been at contest forever. Is the sanctity of contest still in tact?

luve swappin me loadouts i do

i don't think i'll buy

>streamers want their balls crushed
>get mad when their balls get crushed

??

>>531997030
I recently got TFS for $3, and after finishing 3 missions I'm kinda done with it. I think it's time to uninstall the game for me.

why does everyone and their mother use the haunted trace rifle in contest modes. what perks does it get that make it so amazing.

Not gonna lie while I do think this shit is way too artificially padded and ridiculous for what it calls for to realistically stand a chance with zero margin for fuck ups, seeing all these people’s asshole ripped out who begged for the game to be ridiculous is cathartic in a way.

>>531997417
use it to do mechanics then swap to dps special and keep some ammo

>>531997443
They wanted a challenge where final stand is a photo finish and they got it and now they're not happy
absurd

>>531997417
I think it’s due to the origin gives you health and there’s not a ton of void options so people run it if they’re the tractor guy

>>531996470
>, I guess this would technically confirm that the Guardians have their original souls, right?
thats been a thing for a while desu

>>531997417
It's not the haunted trace, that one was void, they used the strand lookalike Unsworn.
https://www.light.gg/db/items/1303313141/unsworn/
Traces are essentially special 1k rpm auto rifles, good for popping shit.

>>531997683
It also has shoot to loot, and detonator beam is good for aoe add clear.

>>531997658
Oh. Right. Of course. I knew that. Just testing you all.

>>531997556
I would love to be so delusional and mentally ill to be talking such a huge game to a point Bungie over corrects to absurdities. I’ll think of this all and the Encore farming when these assholes talk about how great this expansion is or Cross goes on the hundredth rant about how he played RuneScape when it was really grindy

>boot up game
>go into orbit
>journey starts playing
why are we still here, just to suffer? every night I can feel it, the expansions we lost, the activities we lost....wont stop hurting

These people are masochists

/ourguy/ got third

>>531997683
nah, i've seen people use the void one, since theyre also using the IB stasis sidearm.

>>531998432
I've seen many use unsworn in part because of its busted origin trait, it OP for hard content. Shoot to loot is good for ammo scavenging across the field, and ofc detonator beam.
As for hollow denial, it also has a good origin trait that heals you, it also comes with lead from gold + unrelenting or repulsor brace. It's good for survivability while also having good dps.
Traces are being slept on.

>>531997297
Lightfall campaign was better

>>531996470
personalities too, another awoken knows zavala from his previous life and says he hasn't changed a bit

What's the most OP class currently?

>>531999170
Titan

How many hunters have cleared the raid so far. Have people finally accepted that hunters are shit

>>531997443
The thing is what you said really means it was not artificially difficult. It required everyone to be 100% on point the whole time. No fuck ups, no slacking, no missed shots, no bad call outs, no wasted supers or abilities. You needed to be on point, locked in and ready to fail. This is what they been asking for. They wanted Destiny to be a Souls like game and they got it. You all still afraid of power creep? Where was all that power creep yesterday? Is the power creep in the room with us right now? Dudes literally complaining seasonal activities are too easy folding like lawn chairs soon as bungie takes the damage stacking crutches away for tryhard mode. All I can say is get good and I hope they drop your power by 10 more light for the epic raid. This time with more champions and rotating surges.

>>531998301
Problem is that if you genuinely just subject yourself to the actual skill exercises of speed running, low manning, doing the frame perfect dps, you will be so far gone seeing everything as way too easy and anything done *not* doing those techniques will feel like you’re on baby mode. I did 1 run of pantheon contest with people who had one of the fastest times and the amount of tech and swapping people do to just have their ghost in certain spots, die as they send down a elevator for Atraks and other little shit is ridiculous. There’s just a whole other game and at that point you’re basically so fucked because not hitting it feels almost frustrating. At that point it’s just misery because it’s so far off base than what’s intended. I think I’m just more frustrated that this is the only raid we get for an entire year, it’s probably not going to be that bad but the loot genuinely looks like shit and I am imagining yet another DPS Rocket.

>>531999251
The artificial difficulty comes from the fact that there's 4 damage checks. Its not fair to say this raid is harder than any other raid when other raids lasted a long time with only 2 damage checks at most

>>531998964
There's a lore entry that says an awoken that turned into guardian recently turned into a loot goblin and ghosted his awoken wives.

>>531999251
Oh that’s right the epic raid, lmao that will def be a clown fiesta. Hell bring back set locked loadouts prestige style, I wanna see the miserable Scout,Sidearm, sword combo

>>531998926
Nah, it's ass, it's so ass that I still haven't even finished it on a single char.
So far TFS is better, but the game itself is just not in a good spot, I see no reason to play it anymore and for this reason my desire to finish the TFS story is kinda gone as well.

Aztecross status?
Tranno status?

>>531999240
People accepted that a while ago. The legacy LFG was full of "NO HUNTERS" for the entirety of Heresy.

>>532000568
Oh i know but content creators still refused to talk about how bad hunters are and even defended the changes that made them completely shit in eof

>>532000781
The non-content creators with Aztecross were begging for Mactics to switch from hunter to warlock, but he kept insisting that his warlock was undergeared and hunter would be fine.

Just woke up, did the race conclude, did anything unlock after it?

>>531994883
that isnt the point. The Destiny numbers are at its peak viewership of the year (and probably forever). The Warframe numbers are att the peak viewership of tthe year, but have been ascending. On the biggest day of the year for both of them, Warframe annihilated Destiny.

>>532001219
No lol

>>532001219
good morning
yes
just the normal mode

>>532001293
>race not over
Fucking how

>>532000781
I think part of the problem is Bungie themselves just don’t really have much creativity for them and can’t even really bolster the areas that they’re still lacking in. Mouth agape idiots will talk up Ascension on Arc but fail to realize that subclass is unbelievably bad and there’s only so much you get away with it on Prism and what that means you’re forgoing in other areas. Perfect summary of exactly how I mean is Witch Queen void previews how these morons at Bingle can’t say more than “you can dive with a smoke to go invis” “invis helps you res teammates” this makes you go invis, like they’re so one track with certain design choices and it goes for many other areas in the game as well.

>>531997274
>Cross "I want an unbeatable raid"
>Cross "But not like this"

>>532001378
It's over but no unlocks

>>532001473
Lmfao, really? Not even a single extra quest?

>>532001219
>did anything unlock after it?
how much overdelivery could you possibly want?

be fr y'all bungie actually cooked

>bungie cooked
>bungie,cooked

>>532001616
Dont think so, maybe something unlocks after contest is over (cope)

What about the loot?

All I care about is the crossbow, is it okay or shit?

>>532001616
Datto stays locked

>>532002248
No shit, his wife keeps him locked up at all times

>>532001119
Thats mactics for you. In his mind he knows more than god and you can’t tell him anything. I hate that cuck

>>532002698
why are people giving these obvious narcissists attention and money

>>532002698
He’s one of the biggest faggots, his builds and videos suck and misleads new players into throwing with shit setups for hard content. He needs to be fucking blacklisted to his own content slopper island

So titans are a better starfire class now as well? is there anything they can't do?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxKvg_3Lr-o

>>531999472
Thats how it was in the old lore, I think there was some exotic that talked about someone being turned into a guardian outside of her village who was werided out by being giver her old diary or something because she turned into a new person.

Fucking hell this was the whole crux of Crow's character arc, he was a new person and not just Uldren 2.0 until bungie started shoving that characterization down in everyones throat culminating into Savathun downloading all of his memories into his head.

And now we have guardians just being the exact same persona they were before death, just with a bit of amnesia

>>532002698
That's because 4 out of 7 build videos that he made were about hunters and how OP they were, he had to prove to his sycophants that he's a master buildcrafter. Nothing is more self-incriminating than making a bunch of videos about OP hunters and then shelving said OP hunter for the raid.

>>532003089
>is there anything they can't do?
make the game good

>>532003421
No one can do that though, least of all bungie

>bungie is once again trying to get me specifically to finally switch from hunter to titan like they do every year
I dont want to… Also moirai is hot ass, the hellion one is so shit that no one is acknowledge how nothing of an exotic Moirai is.

status?

>>532004660
cooked

>>532001616
bro we havent even gotten a post raid cutscene

>>532004719
>not even a cutscene
HOLY FUCKING SHIT, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA

>>532004687
T-The raid didnt save destiny?

>>532003207
I always figured that concept that rezzed Uldren now Crow was meant to be the next Speaker, perfect twist for a situation when the tower had drama of who’s next for speaker /did we even really ever need one and then up comes some random guy exhibiting similar connection and it’s the guy who killed cayde. My only guess is they pushed off so much with the game going into over time and reality that the meat and potatoes of the Speaker was ancient history by that point that it was easier to just say ok he’s talking about effects of being a new guardian for first time and less of the more speaker like connection. But i agree the inconsistencies and tweaking is annoying when the story doesn’t need to be as dumb as it goes

>>532004719
>>532004869
thats overdelivery sorry sweetie

>>532004529
Sad thing is that Strand Hunter used to not be that bad of a class, when Quicksilver wasn’t sent to the shit realm it was a respectable PVE setup with Cyrtarachne in Lightfall. But yeah no more, not allowed

>>532005312
>speaker
Shut up CHUD, that’s last saga. The city got the memo and knows the light and dark shit is over, it’s fine, we trannified and combined our dark and light aspects to become the perfect kaballah avatar of faggotry. We dont need a speaker because the “light” “god” “chudette” is a loser who needed us to trooncend to save it. So we dont need a speaker anyways. Let bungie’s narrative team cook for once

>>531995376
Benny and les were pretty bad too

>>532004719
Sister we didn’t even really get much of a primer recap this time around on launch cut scene

now that the raid race is over, what is your opinion on bungies shitiest slopiest watchable boring piece of shit that you call a """expansion""" known as Edge of Fate?

>>532005469
Moirai feels like it adds nothing, whether its the internal tangle cooldown, or the dart flying off to fuck off nowhere and making it harder to catch it, sincd you have to manually catch it for the tangle. It just feels like shit. It’s not even a tenth as good as just having artifact mods that naturally shit out tangles and I can just one tap them. The only good exotic is the titan one. Glad they reduced the amount of the exotics and their quality. The only gear designer worth anything is gun tranny.

>>532005312
My guess is that since people kept bringing up the hunters dare so fucking much they ended up going for the easy
>wouldn't it be interesting if the guy who killed Cayde became the leader
>Fucking genius, ship it

Gee I sure do love how mattermorph STEALS 2 of my frenzied blade charges whenever I use it!!!! Was this even playtested? NOPE LMAO

>>532005882
Agree. This game especially now really has no reason to play things at such redundancy or make a science project for a cheap gimmick with no real payoffs. Not saying everything needs to be super hardcore but even in the stat changes and all that, the gaps are still so wide with things

Does anyone know a guide I can follow to understand how to utilize armor 3.0 stats? What's good for PvP and PVE? I'm only finding information about people discovering that the info that Bungie fed us is misleading or downright wrong. Meanwhile, YouTubers are telling me to put all my stat points on health, but I thought health was a dump stat.

>>532005657
Not for the expansion but for the raid. everybody ending up at different bosses was cool. besides that there was clearly some fuckery going on, the way these top teams were playing was basically perfect + you had loadout swapping out the ass and yet at the end the boss would always have 3 hp left and then wipe everybody. Anyways thank god normal mode is here i believe because contest mode is mega gay imo

>>532006381
https://www.warframe.com/signup

>>532006061
It was perfectly served up and even when the whole ship lore for Harbinger was right there being this weird product of traveler doing. I mean even just the name of the mission being Harbinger , the fact that there was the smug sausage fingers of Jabba the Byf wagging saying erm it’s actually Crow experience of feeling his light powers for the first time. I hate seeing a blown opportunity served up on a plate

>>532006280
Of course the gaps are wide, classic no middle ground bungo

>>532006369
Sure, here you go https://www.warframe.com/signup

Datto can complain in his raid thoughts video and get loadout swapping nerfed. Will he do it?

>>532006061
The masses who play destiny really wanted to shitify the story even more. Lmfao

>>532006640
every other raid alliance could have been shot in the head IRL and he still wouldn't have cleared in time

>>532004719
Surely bungie is uh, waiting maybe? Like it's only 8 am in california, maybe they're uh just waiting to pull the switch, right? It's not like every raid previous has had a cutscene + something unlocked after each world first.... right?

The normal raid unlocking immediately was to distract from the fact NOTHING unlocks after the raid

67

>Lowest numbers for an expansion
>Shittiest raid ever designed, basically just a DPS race, made worse by the poorly thought out game mechanics change
>No cutscene after a clear
Fitting for what will be Bungie's final expansion.

>>532007062
>1967

Warframe won.

>Descriptions for the raid exotic's perks are completely different in the tooltip and inspect screen
They keep finding new ways to fuck up

>>532006640
I don’t even that will send a message to Bungie where if gear was locked basically nobody would get this raid done

>>532007249
true

>>532003207
if you asked the current writers, and the former writers(Robert Brookes), why are Lightbearers resurrected with no memories, what the reason for this is

>>532005312
>>532005565
>>532006061
>>532006472
why do you guys think Crow was ever going to be the new Speaker?
yes i know about the Harbinger exotic quest
Uldren/Crow was always going to become the Hunter Vanguard because of Cayde's Vanguard Dare, which said that whoever killed him would be the next Hunter Vanguard
if they made Crow the Speaker instead they'd be trampling all over this lore

How many people cleared?

>>532007778
He was hinted as a possible replacement for the Speaker because he started to receive visions and gifts from the Traveler, including both Hawkmoon and the paracausal jumpship, Radiant Accipiter (lore-wise it is Crow's ship that he allows you to borrow).

>>532004660
CALAMITOUS

Warhammer 40k collab when? The Cabal's designs were originally influenced by the Imperium. I think it would be cool.

>>532008154
>Slopsman or Sloplequin Hunter
>Slopmarine or Slopboss Titan
>Slopchanicus or Slopseer Warlock
Would buy with dust, never ever buying silver

>>532007817
i keep trying to check raid report but no stats are there yet

>>532008154
Absolutely big fumble for all the recycling we never got Val Ca’uor’s terminator like kit setup in any other capacity, makes no sense and I genuinely wonder if Bungie just never saved the asset or something retarded.

Bungie locked down raid report this time. They are checking every clear, and it will be down for days allegedly.

>>531989294 (OP)
Soon

>>532008794
The sanctity of our slop must be maintained

>>532003207
>And now we have guardians just being the exact same persona they were before death, just with a bit of amnesia
Ana is basically the same.

>>532008535
While you usually get the results automatically or a day or two after, more definitively by reset, I wonder if Bungie is using that data and holding off so they could catch any cheats who think they got away with it. Sundered took forever to call first because there was a good handful of people in the listings who had like solo and duo clears or one guy with a ton of kills and the two others had 0, people definitely had exploited in that race and I remember seeing it brand new when there was all this sketchy cheater accounts and people who did it legit had their placement jumble around

>>532008794
>from the results... datto has won worlds first!

>>532008845
if edge of fate had fallen guardians it would've been the best selling expac in history

>>532006768
what did lightfall have post raid?

>>532009593
Nimbus porn.

>loot based on Guardian Rank
well guess that explains why I've been getting jack shit

>>532007249
Not out yet, but yeah. The canucks have been wiping the floor with Bungo since Witch Queen.

>>532007928
pretty sure they changed their mind to push the tranny that nobody ended up liking because of the horrible voice acting

Why were people freaking out this would be a star wars expansion? I see no star wars shit anywhere in this expansion.

>>532007928
i am aware, however, we have also received visions from the Traveler and not just us
this seems more like another stroke of creative genius from Robert Brookes, and he has demonstrated his intellect and understanding of old lore multiple times since Hunt

>>532009674
>YOU WILL DO GUARDIAN RANK OBJECTIVES IF YOU WANT TO GRIND
FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF, NO ONE WANTS TO GRIND THIS MANY ARBITRARY NUMBER GOES UP FAGGOT NIGGER BULLSHIT

>>532009884
thats the next expansion, Renegades

>>532010151
Oh :I

>>532009884
Which is stupid because destiny wouldn’t even exist without Star Wars

>>532010445
ok Alison
whatever you say

>>532010445
Based outlook of the situation.

#destinyisoverparty

>>532009967
my biggest issues is gilding conqueror and solo dungeon shit
them strongarming people into gilding conqueror just screams dead game
>pls pls PLEASE we NEED more players in high difficulty content LFG its fucking DEAD people cant matchmake for shit PLEASE I BEG

>>532003089
>wow, a build that kills reds super fast!
That's fine in low level content, but having to get a kill, then having to go get the orb and sprite from the kill, and it not being strong enough to kill banes or yellows, i'm not seeing a use in higher difficulties

did they add anything fun to do in the game or is it still just 1 single nightfall strike on rotation for a week and nothing else

when are seasonal conquests being reenabled?

>>532009943
We used to receive because we were literally the chosen one but that got tosssed to the side when they changed writters

>>532010857
Gilding conq. Is piss easy

>>532011061
i think you can really turn any strike into a nightfall now because of custom modifiers.

lol imagine if aztecross comes back and mactics is replaced

Unless Bungie admits that contest scaling was bugged, and enabled a fixed version of it for 24 hours next weekend, I will never play this game again.

>>532011889
that would be the dream, I hope that guy never comes back

>>532010857
Or hell the lengths at which they talked about basic bitch QOL shit that should’ve been solved and implemented years ago. Nobody is arguing something needed to happen eventually but to prop that up as some big tent pole that specifically shouldn’t do this degree of heavy lifting for an expansion is where it all falls apart. And naturally it leads to content fags being all cranky at the wrong people and they’re attacking legitimate criticisms in spite of it all. Objectively there was way more shit to get lost in Pale Heart and all that than what we got now. “Dungeon inspired destination mechanics”, “metroidvania” , “puzzle forward secrets” who the fuck cares when it’s not done right or remotely anything that different. Morph ball is just a stupid gimmick.

I think things were doomed with how much of a big nothing the reveal streams are and they spent 100 hours talking about the piece of shit warlock gloves

>>532012792
Somebody called it a few threads back, it totally could be possible they accidentally left things higher than intended and how boss health scales. I swear there was a few times in streams and on content creators own vids from sneak peek talking about being at 200 post the legendary campaign and how that was some carry over number to be at the raid contest level

the rape mactics meme is blowing up

>>532013008
Their secret and puzzle shit was all marketing
>matter abilities are all funny keys to funny doors
>ALL secrets are chests with some just out in the fucking open but locked
>when you dont see it a mystery is nearby alert appears
>plus if you can unlock it with your current upgrade level for the key that opens it then the “secret” just appears on your map

Cope harder bud everyone you love from Japan to Europe was and is influenced by Star Wars

>>532009967
it's worse because the thing you need to do to progress is disabled

>>532015565
So when's the Flash Gordon expansion? That was the inspiration behind Star Wars, so by the transitive property it's a cornerstone of Destiny.

>>532009884
>Why were people freaking out this would be a star wars expansion
The whole brand is tarnished beyond recovery by the Disney. That's it. If it was during the 2010s, I think people would be more open to it.
And Destiny 2 also suffers from bad reputation atm, so it's viewed as a cynical cash grab. Nobody gives them benefit of doubt.

It's all bad optics due to circumstances.

So no post raid cutscene?

>>532016373
ummmmmmmmmmmm

>>532016373

>>532016373
that's overdelivery, anon

Was there seriously no post raid content at all? This would be a first in a while.

now that loadout swapping is going away, what went wrong?

>>532016340
There's also the whole Fortnitification of a franchise that people do not want to happen. Look at Magic the Gathering and its constant crossover blocks these days. You give an inch, these fuckers will take 18 miles. And Bungie has already put out a survey asking if players will be receptive to more crossovers, iirc.

>>532017170
Not even true

So how many teams have beaten the raid so far?

>>532017881
>refining now means to make something simpler, uglier and inferior
Truly the most goyified mindset, but it checks out if you understand all the esoteric nonsense they pull from now since beyond light

>>532017580
All Rasputin's visuals were done by the dreaded Dima Goryainov.

>>532017396
I noticed that as well. I think it happened because they needed to resize the icons for the tier/new gear shit, and warmind/worthy icons become barely readable if you resize them too much (not that other seasonal icons are readable at this size).

Seems like Bungie cooked when it came to the raid and brought people back. Looks like Bungie did deliver us a Rise of Iron sized expansion.

>>532022641
>dps checks

Bungie could release virtually anything and these monkeys would praise it

>>532025025
But they rightfully shart on RoN for being a glorified dungeon

Aztecross is back. Time to see mactics continue throwing

>>532025457
Let’s be honest, they only shat on it because it meant
>not as many people will watch their slop and guides
>literal who’s won the race
>Normal players can actually get a foot in the door to raiding, you know, like most other “mmos”
The pros whining is proof they have no fucking idea about good mmo and rpg systems. They want D2 to be their exclusive slop club where they are the pinnacle of good goys who endure the worst, most phoned in slop with this phoned in raid and expansion as a whole

>are we throwing by having a hunter on the squad
BASEDcross
chat was a sea of yes

>>532026068
But Mactics just needs to use his CRAZY and OP hunter build that lets him CLEAR ALL hard content

huntards are orb jannies now and you don't even need that with thunderlord lol

If cross can cope use his titan during shartvations slops then mactics can cope use his hunter

datto is back

D2 """pros""" are a leading factor in what killed Destiny 2. They and their ilk do NOT matter.

>>532027005
TRVTH. A recent example being all their faggoty “bring grind back” shit. Look at what we have now to “grind”.

>>532027095
CORRECT. Also, this game has NEVER recovered from the shitfest that was Lightflop and the """Bringing""" """Challenge""" """Back""" """To""" """Destiny""" because they pissed and cried that the game was too easy when they were too stupid to understand Bungie is lazy and will NEVER bring difficulty to the game in an interesting or fun way, and it will ALWAYS ONLY EVER be padding, HP Gates, and -WATCHABLE- content.
>mfw challengefags got exactly what they wanted and the game died almost immediately because they trusted Bungie to put in effort

I am Fated Weapon, this title was surprisingly easy to achieve lol

Remember when Datto was bitching how BORING and EASY Destiny was around the time of Black Forge?
This motherfucker pretty much spearheaded this whole retarded "bring challenge back to Destiny" movement. Which eventually led to this whole anti-fun manthra that nuBungie seemingly loves.

>>532027534
that title is so ass

>>532027445

Bungie loves balancing the game around streamers. I sure love when half of the game becomes less approachable without any option to circumvent that even through grinding and overleveling because some 1% of 1% asshole whose job is playing the game said so.

this toxicity and hate towards mactics has to end

>>532027445
Yep. No problem with challenge, but the way they “brought it back” was fucking retarded. Instead of properly tuning pur abilities or making interesting enemies or mechanics, its all hp gates with immune shields that are for some reason linked to some arbitraty puzzle slop that in no one ties into the core gameplay of destiny that is intuitive whatsoever and it’s so bad we’re at the point where engaging with content creator slop is expected.
Didnt watch the slop? Kicked.
Dont follow slopper advice? Kicked.
At this point the point of D2 is to keep the Dev/streamer symbiotic ouroboros going or both groups will be jobless.

>>532009674
cant make it past rank 5 since there's no prime engram drops or conquests available

>>532027095
watched a streamer say how much they loved the grind when they were spamming encore before it got disabled

Has anybody checked in on Normal to see if it's just RoN 2.0?

>>532027658
It is, at least the fated cipher's emblem isnt that terrible

>>532027661
yep. Devs are stupid enough to listen to the small subset of players who play the most, but that subset comes no where near close enought to pay the bills. And this same subset goes from game to game, killing one after the other in the same way.

>>532027593
And it’s funny because he all but assured he will never win a race by doing so.
>>532027661
Yep, by the end of it’s lifecycle d2 will just be the top % of speed running trannies and zoomers.
>>532027793
And then they and their defenders would just say get good or not all content is meant for everyone or some shit when other games normal raids are clearable by actual retards. And the culmination of this streamer nonsense is them and their sycophants whining about normal raid opening after first is achieved

>>532027661
The biggest problem is that devs do this shit all at once, and it's after they make concerted efforts towards doing the opposite over a long period of time. If you want an example from another game, look at WoW during Cataclysm after Wrath of the Lich King. Cataclysm heroic dungeons stopped being AFK mass pull mass AoE snoozefests and went back to expecting you to use your suite of abilities and actually punished you for not doing so. The casualized playerbase absolutely hated it and bitched nonstop for it to be changed, even though it was far from the hardest content the game had to offer. People had been conditioned to doing the same thing with Destiny, that it was piss easy outside of MAYBE Raids or Dungeons, so when Bungie just flipped the switch in the other direction all at once it pissed everyone off. There also was never a real, gradual increase in difficulty that slowly made you a better player. There were times where they TRIED to do things like this, that required some effort or team play, like with The Corrupted and the whole pass-the-orb schtick, but apparently that shit was too much effort so fuck it I guess.

>>532027949
I still am in disbelief they made the grind to end cap as bad as it is, like they learned nothing where Diablo 4 pissed everybody off and tried to make the milestones post 50 seem amazing even though you’re shitcanning so much on your way to 100.

All this doom for Edge of Fuck All is most pleasing, now if you'll excuse me i'm gonna go play Rise of Iron for the first time. Felwinter's Peak awaits!

>>532028036
Lmfao imagine loving grinding the worst mission endlessly for the same gear but not cause you want the gear but just cause they give the most big numbers and once you do that for 40 hours then you can grind for things you actually want. Lmfao. Meanwhile in POE you can constantly find good shit from level 1 and might still use shit like uniques or a really well rolled rare till your in the endgame grind because a good piece of loot can drop at almost anytime.

D2 fails as an mmo and a loot game

It's look in the mirror time for Bungie.

>>532027593
Datto was still on a high horse back then because the turbo zoomies and salami greppo didn’t come into the fold in full force to eat everyone’s lunch

It'd be extremely funny if it's somehow less grindy and more entertaining to reach max power in Destiny Rising (without whaling) than it currently is D2.

>>532025812
That’s a general reality with my gripes on this game, it tries to act like it’s some polished put together mmorpg but it fails so miserable on systems and rewards that it’s just a mish mash of shit. Same story with the pvp idiots who can’t even go positive in a game of CS

>>532028458

Trials of Osiris was such a fucking mistake that we never recovered from it. The entire game has suffered so much just for that, not even just normal PvP either.

Probably late but I just found out Oryx's VA last season was a disgusting tranny. Guy tries to talk like a girl but has a deep voice. Why does Bungie do this?

even reddit is losing it

Graviton Spike is fun and all, but what endgame situations would I use this over Outbreak or Sunshot/God Zaouli's

>>532029279
>>D2 pvpers leave in droves

>>532029430
>tranny voiced by tranny
eh, fair enuff

How long before Bungie does a Borderlands 3 and realizes the modifier system is not fun, and just straight up says "fuck it" and goes back to the old system, just like Bl3 did.

>>532029449
>leddit blaming it on Parsons
Parsons has never had a clue and does not care. This is on the devs, and it has been for a long time. Money is not the issue, they have consistently produced crap no matter the budget.

>>532029868
It's on him and other leadership, unironically. They set the tone, they handle the overall course, they're pretty much steering the whole fucking ship. Everything hinges on their decisions.
And they choose it. To make a minimum viable product, to increase slop output, to milk franchise dry, because they are about to jump ship with their golden parachutes, and they couldn't give less fucks about leaving dead and arid land behind them.

>>532029868
True, bungie devs are the problem. Most are shit with few actually good devs. Over the years bungo was hard carried by support from the other support studios activision had help them. Those guys made some of the best shit D2 HAD. Keyword HAD

>>532027949
>>532028354
it also invalidates the point of grinding power levels which become just a ticket to a higher activity. Fucking Mettle's power delta which means that I inflict less damage and receive more out of no reason even though I am 100-200 levels above the activity level. it's the Oblivion-tier difficulty which is even more retarded because in Oblivion you can become an invincible killing machine through regular means even at the toughest difficulty where your damage is x1/6, while enemy damage is x6. Bungie doesn't even remotely provide me any meaningful stuff to engage with the difficulty beyond perks that work like 'for 5 seconds receive less 5% damage after a precision kill if you were squat dancing while jerking off with your left hand during the kill'.

So would this raid race even be possible if not swap was enabled?

>contest mode has been thing for over half a decade
>bitches still complain every single time

it's 48hrs for tryhards. if you don't wanna tryhard, just wait
why is this concept so hard to grasp for so many

Datto status?

dilated

>>532030287
The delta and power shit is funny man, I really thought with light changes before Edge of Slop that they were just gonna move to named difficulties since they insist on making power being useless 99% of time outside of being barrier to entry. This is the only game where in ALL content that over leveling does nothing. Youre either just baseline or weaker

>>532030653
on the edge... of fate...

>>532030169
>And they choose it. To make a minimum viable product
and if you actually cared about that, you would have been gone long ago, because its been true for a LONG time. And regardless of MVP, is the devs designing the game systems that are the problem. Just having more money does not mean you get a better game. Even when they had a lot more money than they have now, it was an MVP, and has been that way since at least BL.

>>532030349
NotSwap still allows you to switch but voids your Super and Abilities out. I'm not sure it voids your ammo because I don't play dogshit game modes that have it enabled.
I predict that Notswap is going to become the new Match Game, though. They're gonna slap that shit on everything to try and make it harder.

I’ve had the last mission to get to mythic world tier ready to go for the past 4 days but I just cant be assed. Like who cares about higher tier kepler loot?

https://clips.twitch.tv/FaintApatheticNostrilHumbleLife-jIHVhYV4r3F3QjMj
Imagine if this happens to Datto/Aztecross

have people already figured out all the different sweet spots for this new stats system. The old 100 res/rec/dis shit is irrelevant now i assume?

loadouts should lock the second the encounter starts in a raid

>>532029868
Parsons shares the blame because it's ultimately his responsibility as the one in charge to make sure shit goes well. Blame him for tight timetables or rushed development, sure. But the devs have a great deal of the blame, easily the majority of it in my opinion. Pete didn't come from down off his golden throne and tell the team to make everything be below power level so everything is more annoying and bullet-spongey, or to nerf ability cooldowns or weapons or exotics or perks or whatever. At most, he might have said "increase player engagement time" and the devs - either through laziness or lack of ability - decided to do so in the way that affects players the worst.

>>532031363
Now you want 100+ Weap/Nade/Super or Wep/Super/Class depending on build

If you hotswapped, you didn’t beat the game.

>>532031417
But I love the CHALLENGE of NEEDING to swap loadout and mastering the art of navigating menus. It’s such a CHALLENGE to resist the urge to uninstall.

>>532031473
>Parsons shares the blame because it's ultimately his responsibility as the one in charge to make sure shit goes well.
Yes, on paper. But Parsons is a fucking marketing guy. Blaming Parsons is as useful as blaming the janitor for being put in charge of a cruise ship that then runs into a reef. Guess what, firing Parsons at any point of D2's history would not have mattered, because the replacement would be another Parsons, and its why Parsons was NOT canned at any point, because to the people that matter in that regard, Parsons is doing at least an adequate job. And it truly does not matter since the Sony takeover, because the entire C suite of Bungie checked out as soon as the takeover was finalized and they knew they were getting golden parachutes. Bungie's C suite is leaving in 2026, and guess what? The game will continue to suck and people will no longerr be able to blame the C suite.

>>532031024
Has this many "literally 0 health but wiped" situations happened before in other contest raids? shit is crazy

Bungie shouldn't balance a raid around loadout swapping, it's understandable that a solo raider would have to do it but you shouldn't have to do that in a 6-man contest raid. The HP pools are way too bloated
>/dg/
Loadout swapping should be banned outright, you didn't beat the raid
>Bungie in 2-4 weeks probably
Loadout swapping will start being locked down game wide and raids will have more puzzles going forward
/dg/ is always right

>>532030368
I love tryharding, but I'd like it to be doable. Maybe a little harder than RoN, but still fun. Salvation's Edge was fucking supposed to be that raid, but the challenge just HAAAAD to be brought back for teams/people who can't even scratch top 10 teams. Now we're all paying for it.

>>532032695
>Collab with a game that makes sense
Erm no we need more DnD, Street Fighter and Slop Wars collabs. I need a raid boss that is 6 guardians with relic boxing gloves punching a dark infused junker car.
Which would actually be funny and sovlful for a collab so we wont get that either.

what games have you guys been playing?
its wilds, nightreign, elden ring, and warframe for me

>>532032843
No, but hopefully it will serve as a cautionary tale for others. Inform people, so they could see all the worrying patters. It's a lesson for the humanity, at the expense of our beloved franchise.
Never go full retard like nuBungie.

>>532033198
>warframe
for me, right now, same, I will be grinding void relics all week to take advantage of Baro's shop. I played Dune Awakening for 150 hours up to recently, that game's devs are really trying to wrest the dumbest dev designation from Bungie.

>>532032263
Hrmm Val Ca'uor could bug out in a few ways where like balls go through the floor, he just straight up disappears into a bunch of pixels and you can't do anything no chest. Atraks on contest had the health bar go back up and there was situations where you could be pushed for final stand but couldn't do any damage/game didn't acknowledge it as actual final. Rhulk if you cut the debuff timer close yes you could kill him and the wipe would still get you. But yeah no this new boss, probably is the absolute worst standout version of it.

kek mactics can't catch a break. who else also saw his mini meltdown earlier where he talked about how mean people are

WoWgod here
You race is actually fucking kino

even though he is guilty since he's the CEO and everything, too much focus is put on Pete
it's the devs that make the game, but redditors will never ever ever say anything against them because the poor little devs are sacred and it's all the management's fault, they abuse the poor devs who are just trying to do their best at their difficult job
i mean they still worship Joe Blackburn, the retard under whose direction the game was irreparably ruined. that moron looked at Lightfall and thought it looked great, i won't sperg about Strand again because i've done it so many times already. not to mention all of the retcons
do i even need to say anything about Robert Brookes?
see pic related, if it is true that "leadership" ordered that Rasputin must die, did he and his faggot team have to do it in the gayest and most retarded way possible?
3-4 years of complete and utter dogshit writing and story but the redditors fucking love it
TFS was the best narrative since Taken King guys!!!!
the only time they, and the wider community, said anything against the story was during Lightfall and the following couple seasons because not even Jabba the Byf could come up with copes and excuses for that shit
and it's the same with EoF. the narrative team blew it out of the park with this one! Heresy too was a narrative masterpiece according to them
these fucking """people""" are subhuman creatures incapable of any kind of thought

>>532030368
This is a pretty rarer situation in terms of design, the fact that small amount of people getting successful clears are pulling out a shit pile of swaps, one of which relies on LoW's bugged ammo thing, limited specific combos sorta narrows it down as something reasonable.

>playing with content creators

After leaving destiny with the end of final shape my current single player game is ff7 (the original), constantly going back and forth between returning to warframe or not the "devil" warframe really really makes me interested in potentially going back

yes? i said he's guilty since he's in charge

Complaining about Pete Parson (especially his cars) is retard cope. He didn't hire the trannies and sois, and he didn't even the people who hired them. The problem with Bungie is not top-down it's bottom-up. Their lowest level employees are idiot millennials with zero creativity or talent, they're the ones writing the awful dialogue and making the shitty systems changes. Even if you think Parsons tells them to increase player engagement, Bungie employees do it in the worst way possible because they have no talent.

Don't forget that Pete Parsons has been in charge for decades and Bungie has released good games during that time. We can blame Parsons for rushing annual expansions when they obviously need 18 months minimum to be good, that's fair. But all the details of why expansions are shitty fall on Bungie employees. They wrote and modeled Nimbus, make all the terrible balance changes, and are too lazy to change fun models to look a bit different.

Pete Parson was here...

>>532035846
Sorry, I kinda got stuck in my own mindspace, and kinda spaced out. I misunderstood the intent behind your posts. Got lost in the woods.
>i'm speaking out against all of the focus being put on Pete and none on the faggot devs themselves
This, I can agree with.
>any of the complaining about Pete and his cars has anything to do with him hiring incompetent faggots
No, it's mostly bandwagon complaining about shitty CEOs which is in vogue nowadays, for understandable reasons.

>>532035209
Same way as before? Healing nades and orb pick up heals now without the leg mod, so genning orbs and using orbs to heal is still a thing and easy.

The fact that the people that do the "good" content (cock and ball torture) as a job are still struggling to finish this raid is why nobody raids anymore.
Even back in d1 raiding was a "try hard" activity. Now it's balanced around steamers and other faggots that play the game like it's a job, while the rewards are complete ass that no one wants. Though I guess that does help. With nothing being worth chasing beyond views, there's no reason to feel bad that you're missing out on ugly armor and terrible guns.

>>532037334
i look and act like this

>>532036403
even if Pete does literally nothing at the company and doesn't even know what state the game is in, which i believe is the case, he's still guilty because he's the boss and the main game of his studio has been going down the shitter for 4 years and he's doing fuck all about it

Nothing, you just need to play D2 with me.

>>532017396

>>532037736
The devs designed the systems introduced with EoF with streamers in mind, to give them some constant grind and stream. Not for actual players to play. And the numbers reflect that.

If Bungie thought they could shut me up about bringing back Io by aping it's style in Kepler, they were dead wrong

>>532030368
Because the extremely, poorly thought game mechanic changes are making it very difficult, unless you're a hyper autist who swaps builds every micro second.

nobody doing contest is enjoying it. they're all miserable and they look forward to this shit every year

>>532037884
ok pete

>>532037745
Nope, reset

the biggest sign this game is on life support is that you can just buy trials armor

Streamers actually hold Bungie in chokehold. They fear them.

>>532038407
please dear traveler tell me youre a nightstalker femhunter

>>532030368
Contest mode isn't designed for good players and hasn't been for years now. It's designed for no lives and Bungie wants you to watch them and give them shekels.

Damn somebody in Datto chat asked about Mork and apparently he went with another team, man saw the writing on the wall

the portal has roughly 10 activities in them that are strikes and the likes, all other strikes NOT in the portal will never show up in fireteam ops there, but you can queue them through the director (which in turns doesnt give the new stuff, just old deprecated rewards)

I think a larger part of it is that anybody actually good and more importantly still playing self selected out and linked up with equal minds. Judging off Skarrow’s recent finishes, he literally might be one of the dumbest lucky people getting hard carried for this shit, I didn’t realize he was with All The Players for SE when they took 3rd

>>532039963
I was gonna say you guys have shit taste but then I remembered we (presumably) play destiny 2

>>532038761
but this is literally every live service game. You have to have systems in place that are grindy to extend player engagement with content, or you constantly release content to maintain engagement. If you are not capable or willing to do either, then your live service will fail. Dune Awakenings is facing this problem right now, its a brilliant single player survival crafter experience, but the devs intended a seperate zone for PVP live action player content engagement extension, which the vast majority of the player base does not want. They want more of the single player stuff, and the devs cannot give that to them, so the game will fail.

DESTINY ANONS I HAVE A QUESTION
I refuse to buy edge of fate, stop playing after final shape, but I've been playing since D1, so I need to ask.
Is this the worst the games ever been? Would you rather have year D2 over this?

>>532039759
Because I've been playing the game since vanilla d1, and I have both eyeballs and a functioning brain.

>>532034690
At least Cross doesn't consider himself a top player (or does he?) and doesn't act high horse over other players.

>>532039759
Because their voices are relatively loud, and their fans parrot them. So what we end up with is patch after patch of some retarded-ass bullet sponges or annoying difficulty mods or grind. God forbid a raid be to easy. We will never have an accessible raid again.
I don't even want the shit to be piss easy, but I'd just like to finish something on Contest without the dps checks having to be so fucking air-tight. It's a race for streamers, not an endurance contest for everyone else.

>>532034918
I predict most people will go back to using Polaris Lance like a year ago.

>>532040348
>Is this the worst the games ever been?
Yes
>Would you rather have year D2 over this?
No. Anyone thinking that is looking though rose colored nostalgia glasses. D2 has always been bad in one way or the other.

>>532032695
>Arca Plasmor exotic
Tigris or Corinth or no dice.

>>532040348
Curse of Osiris was worse but there was still potential and hope
Edge of Fate isn't as bad as that but there is no hope or potential which stings more

>another dogshit raid exotic
https://youtu.be/hprV0BOQ4Es?si=lhclpa55woHEXUeg

>>532040713

>>532040348
I would rather play: Forsaken, Shadowkeep, or Witch Queen over this 100%. I'm less rue but still fairly sure I'd rather play Beyond Light or The Final Shape over this. I'm neutral on playing Red War or Lightslop over this. I'd rather play ANY part of Destiny 1 over this, though.

>>532040434
>At least Cross doesn't consider himself a top player
He considers himself "good" at the game, but definitely not top (he has addressed this). To me, its not something born from skill but rather practice. Same with Datto. Neither has any real natural ability, just lots of practice, because it their job. They would be reliable employees in any trade, but definitely not standouts.

>>532040348
>Is this the worst the games ever been?
I don't really know. People say CoO was bad, but objectively, it wasn't the content's fault, but the meta side of the game at large. I think that the weapons and abilities, and sub-features are the only real things that have been improved over time. The story hasn't meant anything to me since the very start of Beyond light. The enemies have stagnated, and the core system of gameplay loops have been lackluster. No activity means much to me. The art direction has been very hit or miss for most things, Mostly misses.
>Would you rather have year (Insert whatever year you meant here) D2 over this?
I think the best state that D2 was ever in was season of Arrivals. The only downside was that Undying, Dawn, & Worthy weren't in the game, but absolutely everything else up until that point was. And I'd gladly take that over the superfluous stuff that they've put in afterwards.

Has anyone said they even care about Onslop returning at this point?

Now gayme with me.

>At the final chest, you can acquire purchase the ability to permanently increase the tiers of gear that drop in the raid
so
the raid doesnt drop anything but t1/2 unless you get to the end
contest mode (the hardest this raid is going to be for couple months) is worthless to run

>>532040892
Differences are there’s being good at the game and playing the game a ton to a good level + trying to balance the whole streamer shit. Nobody we actually know of is going to go insane trying to perfect all the speed run insane min/max strats repeatedly . Even Aegis usually doing vog and DSC speed runs, there’s a lot more to playing to the absurdity than what any of these guys bother with. You pretty much have to be a literal who weirdo to take first in current year

Only a little. All in all people are upset

>>532042325
uhhh.... m-maybe another time?

>>532040348
yes it's the worst it's ever been
i'd rather play anything before Beyond Light, preferably Beyond Light or Arrivals with all of the old content, i could just pretend that the Pyramids came and that was the end of everything

>>532041140
people who shit on CoO are just stupid and a lot of them are parroting the opinions of others
the worst things about it could be and eventually were fixed completely
the story was simple and the patrol location small but both were way better than anything we've gotten in the last 3 expansions, patrol especially, Mercury is way better looking and more enjoyable to be in than Savathun's throne world, Neotroona and Pale Fart, and i liked the public event
and to be completely honest, static rolls are only an issue if you care more about grinding for something than just playing the game. i'm fine with random rolls but 12x12 perk pools are a bit much and grinding for armor good armor rolls is cancer
if anyone's wondering yes i'm the one demanding apologies for CoO

also i agree with you that Arrivals was the best state the game was ever in, if only the previous 3 seasons were still in the game at the time
and btw Worthy was good and anyone shitting on it is a trialsissy and probably a streamer as well

>>532043032
Bruh even Paul Tassi cant find nice ways to say how shit this expac is

>>532043256
The grind change is ridiculous , even going to distance to getting to cap and not getting more opportunities for tier 5s until ass and iron is dumb, some of the QOL stuff is fine but come the fuck on, it’s simple game functionalities that should’ve been there since day 1 or at very least years ago, nobody is suddenly converting to being a Destiny fan because the game solved this and there’s still tons of weapons from the past that hold a slight advantage over things obviously. The fact how so much of the game got squatted in terms of relevancy for loot is a bit disheartening too and I don’t blame people annoyed how being at the mercy of Bungie’s sandbox and loot pool curation is more felt with the featured exotic bullshit

>>532040348
Been playing since D1 beta, took off plenty of seasons here and there from boredom and burnout. I bought EoF a day ago and am probably half way through the campaign. The state of the game is better than it was in lightfall. I haven't hit the soft cap yet, but getting to 140ish has been pretty fast, i'm sure the grind will suck once i hit 200 or whatever the soft cap is, but the power grind after the soft cap has always been dicks. The destination abilities(morph ball) is more than just that, and isn't as bad as people here claim. I've always enjoyed the open world puzzle solving and exploring though. The new destination guns and perks are either braytech models, or look similar to the pale heart weapons, so not as gay as they have been. The tier system is fine, i haven't hit endgame yet so we'll see if that opinion stays. So far all my old weapons and armor are better than what you can get at tier 1-3. Plot is fine, the missions are much better built than anything in episodes, and feel more like actual Destiny content. I think it offers far more entertainment and value than any year of 'seasons' we've had, and far better than the last year of 'episodes.' Perfect? No. Bungie's redemption arc? Probably not. Worth $40? I'd say so.

>>532044631

>>532045174
the issue was anti-barrier on the artifact. it was juicing damage on affected exotics by 3x

>>532039759
Because streamer feedback has led us to a position where people are unironically comparing Root of Nightmares, a raid that was panned almost universally upon release, in a favorable light to the most recently released raid.
It's not even that streamers have universally bad opinions, but Bungie seems to be making the mistake of assuming that CCs are a summary of their communities' feedback, when that is factually incorrect if you actually watch any of these retards. I can't even blame Pete for that one because it's absolutely 100% a designer problem.

>>532045702
Wait really lol do you have a link?

>>532043564
Results seem spotty. Sometimes I seem to get 6 or 7 ammo, sometimes I get 1 or 2.

>>532040348
I have been playing since d1(got into d2 around 2019) bungie has never been this tonedeaf.they trippled down on everything that players hate.seasonal gear gets a damage bonus etc which means that your old stuff is quasi sunset and we are now forced to another LL grind before we actually get do what we want.new gear is garbo if it doesnt have a high tier and you forced to play stuff you dont like since or you wont make progress at all.tons of bugs and stealth nerfs hat render entire exos and strike mechanic's broken.hierachy of needs is a good example since its tracking rounds barely track stuff now and the draw time buff doesnt properly refresh.all in all id say this is the worst d2 has ever been and the game wil die fast if bungle doesnt act quick(which they wont since they are spending all their time and money on flopathon).

What member of Cross’s team is most likely to troon out soon? I think it’s kujay

>>532036403
CEOs are responsive for the direction and management of the company. If a manager hired some faggot that is shit at their job and it becomes a reoccurring issue, it's the responsibility of C-suite to course correct which hasn't happened. Pete fell asleep at the wheel and the state of Bungie is just as much his failure as the retards who created lightslop, edge of shit, and all of the episodes. How long you been at a company isn't relevant if you can't do your job correctly at the given moment.

What if the power level difference is completely fucked because of the reset to 10 power?
I mean, the Legendary campaign is a fucking cakewalk entirely. But the moment you step into the higher tiers and contest mode and anything that starts getting higher in light values the difference is so much greater than it used to be. Raids and encounters that used to take 2 easy phases are back 3/4 right now that aren't even part of any refreshed or new content
Did they fuck up the math

I didn't buy EoF but they kept shilling it as a 3d metroidvania destination.
Does it contain anything even remotely resembling Aether from Prime 2 or Citadel Station from System Shock?

>>532047360
haloman looking good

>>532047680
>Did they fuck up the math
It's Bungie, yes.

>>532047726
I've never played a Metroid game before but it just feels like a bad Destiny location.

>>532047726
>Does it contain anything even remotely resembling Aether from Prime 2 or Citadel Station from System Shock?
Lol. No. They thought "metroidvania" unironically meant turning into a ball that goes through a vent and maybe a single hole. Not to explore, but actually to just progress to the next part of the mission.

Unc Cross wants to die, fuckken kek

>>532047726
God no.
Even Guiding Lands in MHW has more depth than Kepler

>>532047726
kepler campaign is loosely based on the first metroid prime

>>532048062
Oh wow I didn’t realize they haven’t even made it to the final boss lmao

what do you think it's like in the bungie offices right now?

>>532048612
Empty because it's Sunday

>>532048612
Lots of dilating and a poop smell

>>532048612
Gun tranny getting a train ran on xer bungo hole

Troontecross

>>532048612
Probably a couple of a troons getting bent over and fucked on some conference room desks. Leaving some nice dried up cum stains for tomorrow morning. Disgusting people.

Can they put the Portal in the DCV, please?

>>532047573
>I wish they kept the more ornate armor for raids only. I don't think they could make good-looking armor like D1 had if they even wanted to.

>>532049214
proving the point

>>532049214
This is quite ugly, yes.

>>532049214
this set has way too many gadgets and shit strapped to it
it would be ok without them
same with the warlord's ruin set and that dumb oxygen tank on the back

>>532049214
Over-designed trash

>>532049214
Very cool of them to put a paypig Khvostov ornament in promotional materials

YOU DONT SAY

>>532049386
>>532049495
>>532049671
>>532049813
Just say you like green armor recolors

they're clearly testing
testing your patience

I didn't think much about Pale Heart being "solo" patrol space, as I chalked it up to the narrative and thematic reasons, but now that Kepler is also another solo patrol zone, I can't help but wonder if it's just some kind of nefarious decision motivated by server-cost savings.

>>532049919
it was sold for bright dust

>>532049921
>I know they laid off the...
MORE layoffs are needed
there will be no peace until bungie is destroyed

This is the Testuya Nomura design philosophy, it's retarded and you have bad taste.

>>532050106
For a single week

>>532050085
Yeah this is fucked if this is what they're going to be doing going forward. Like you, I have them a pass for narrative reasons. I feel so isolated playing Destiny now.

>>532050269
>more bullshit = better
>This is the Testuya Nomura design philosophy, it's retarded and you have bad taste.
D1 boomers piss and poop their pampers for this

>>532050537
Yes I do

>>532050537
never played D1 but yes

>they never restored The Tower
>now they'll never repair the HELM

>>532050537
I barely played D1 but those look much better than most of the D2 armor.

>>532050537
NTA but D1 art direction >>>> D2

>>532050537

Gladd/Sweatcicle just cleared

This season is so fucking empty why did they even bother removing the seasonal content from TFS if there was like zero new activities outside of the "new" activity solo ops. I expect a major player fall off after next week.

Also Bungie said they are "holding nothing back for the raid" except if you look at collections and the title there is no sparrow or ship, just a ghost shell. They just cut content from the raid and will slap it in later for engagement metrics for the content sloppers. Watching all the streamerfags playing contest and getting raped over and over again was pretty funny though.

Who/Who?

>>532050924

>>532050981
Me/Zavalr

>>532051075
kek

>>532051075
If I was a woman or a gay man I’d want him to fuck my ass so bad

>>532051075
Datto wishes he could be Chadd

>>532051075
Gladd, or more accurately, Chadd.

>>532050537
you tell em sister!

They put the colour blind guy on colour call outs lool

>>532050953
>They just cut content from the raid and will slap it in later for engagement metrics for the content sloppers.
They'll just put in the eververse, like they've done before.

>>532051075
Am I cooked, if my first thought was "damn, that would be hell of an explanation to make after I inevitably slip and shatter my bones, cuz I was trying to pull off some meme selfie".

>>532051316
Who?

>>532051262
Warbunnies…

>>532051154

Reminder that Samus' varia suit would be seen as a blue drop set in Bungie's eyes

>>532049921
leddit, like all the hopesissies, would sit there and hope that his best friend would quit fucking his wife/girlfriend.

>>532051262
These sets plus the troon shaders would go hard

So with weekly's being gone, does that mean it's more efficient to just level one character at a time? I'm so used to using the other 2 for efficiency.

Erm, why is no one talking about how they sunset Zavala and made Ikora the vanguard commander? The final humiliation of his character, just doing it when he isn’t even on screen.

the numbers squish is so visually unsatisfying

>>532052362
Yeah I should look and see how that first one worked back with Shadowkeep(?). I don't remember it being this lame.

sisters...
does skarrow have a brain in his skull?
toes is on tractor cannon

Aegis just beat it

>>532052351
They're way too cheap to get Keith David again.

Datto had it...
lost it...
I saw in his chat that only 22 teams finished it but nothing in raid report so far

>>532052351
Isn’t that just the nine calling her that but Zavala is still actually commander?

>>532053095
raid.report won't go up until tomorrow or Tuesday since Bungie has to ban some people lol

>>532053203
The Nine acknowledging her as specifically vanguard commander instead of any of her official titles implies how the nine will view zavala if he’s even used again

>>532050269
>This is the Testuya Nomura design philosophy
Ironically its 10x worse
Look at FFXV and tell me that there isn't a consistent theme with the clothing

>>532052913
>sub 200k damage when the boss has 1.5m
None of them are making it on that pace.

>>532053095
/oursister/ will be the first to clear Koregos without loadout swapping

Is datto in an open relationship with his wife?

>>532054159
Are you interested in Datto or his wife?

>Bungie hates loadout swapping
>Day 1 is impossible to beat without it
Getting mixed signals here, Bungie.

>>532054159
Yes, they both can bring men to the bedroom

>>532054239
Yes datto but in his female form

>>532054159
no, but his wife is in an open relationship with him.

>>532054159
the relationship is closed but datto isn't in it

>>531993401
But you're already capped to -20 under power limit in normal, and -50 on contest, so all that power farming meant literally nothing.

>>532054159
His wife is a beard, he's trans.

Just imagined Danielle pegging Datto in his 2B cosplay.

>>532054250
She looks like she should be in HR.

>>532054468
Why would I want to imagine that

Imagine ...dragons

can you express that you want to fuck datto in his chat instead of here

>>532054468
Pleas keep thoughts like this to yourself

>>532049921
I’m surprised Cozmo hasn’t activated all out BDF squad and the jannies

>>532054468
same but it was me and you

Will aztecross clear this before contest is over?

cross has had enough

>>532049921
>Reddit is finally where we were at with Bungie in 2017
Nice, maybe they'll actually criticize them in the future.

so...where's the content?

>>532055051
Didn’t you see bro? The coil is back!

It matics still holding cross back? Just swap him for an LFG.

>>532047680
I swear on Skarrow’s Marathon career that there was some loose mention either on Twitter or off cuff in one of the content creator insights or dev streams where we were supposed to be 200 post legendary campaign that was soft cap equivalent and the entry for raid(at first) but I am having trouble finding direct quote. The adds seem mostly ok but the boss scaling is where stuff feels all mega fucked

if cross had bombad with him instead of mactics they would've been on the final boss before the break

>found some streamers (that aren't even on the final boss) too proud of themselves to use thunderlord
this might be low testosterone behavior

>>532055107
worst performer on the team and he's annoying

>>532055051
You're not excited to play Onslaught again with 0 changes to the mode or loot?! You are being very transphobic.

>bungie/dmg spent the entire 18 hour period being smug little shits on twitter
>clipped failing streamers and blocked people who asked about bugs
I bet you in 2 days they come out and they say they're checking for a bug with damage or something, that or they do a big (K)TWAB with "bringing challenge back to destiny".
I fucking bet you.

>>532055051
There is none. People paid full expansion price for less than a season's worth of content. Now they gaslight themselves into thinking that the free updates are part of the price in order to avoid suicidal thoughts.

>>532055051

>>532050727
I buy the theory that xivu nukes the tower and we all live in lower city

>>532055241
>consistently dogshit
>extremely annoying
>only geared his hunter because he kept insisting that they would be horribly overpowered after the changes

>>532054830
You mean, ME riding YOU.

[Breaking News] on Contest Mode:
>Geebler just wiped
>SPUTZ still on the first boss
>toerag can't make it past second phase
>WingButt kicked Fenus from her team
>Jortz has diarrhea
bros this might be the hardest raid ever!

>>532055568
>You mean, ME riding YOU.
What class you play

>>532055328
The free updates are also just old seasonal content being added to the portal and one new 3-man activity in Ash and Iron.

>>532055602
Its the most bugged raid ever

>>532054468
how about christmas lulu?

>>532055602
Classic Geebler

>>532055091
That twab truly was all you needed to know how this is gonna pan out. Having to ensure peace that there will be an activity in the second half season, and then the whole schedule of events reminding me to Y1 d2 when getting faction rallies and score attack shit in NFs was “content”

>Tranno using the gay pride shader on his SMG
This is a cry for help.

>>532055675
Why does he do it?

>>532055568
okay i have got to stop hornyposting... but yes.. SEEEXXXXOOOO

>>532055201
Bombad I remember being kinda cool/funny like somebody just grounded enough to not be a clout demon and bust Cross’s balls

>>532055745
Yeah it was fucking grim “here’s a bunch of shit that was in the game last week that we’re slowly adding back and also some old seasonal activities”

>get the new comp handcanon
>the weapon kill tracking bug is back like with what happened with lotus eater
I havent even used this thing wtf bungie

>>532055725
He should of stayed on Team SPUTZ

>>532055662
Hunter
>>532055675
>>532055760
You just know he gets off on this shit, probably wears a lil pink chastity cage too when he plays like that and his wife and their bf laugh at him and shame him for it

>>532052913
Pixel Analysis of this image indicates that they've done about 88% of the bosses' health.
Taking their damage tally and inverting the 30% debuff brings it to roughly 1.2m total damage dealt.
1.2m is 88% of about 1.4m, give or take a 100k margin of error.
Further pixel analysis shows that the Final Stand is the last 10% (meaning they were 1~3% short of Final Stand lol).
This means that the contest mode boss has 141k HP. Did we ever get a timer on how long Final Stand lasts?

>>532040181
uh most of the games I listed arent slop

>>532055925
Sorry bro but he promised to raid with Jortz and team AcKclass

>>532055313
Xister Bungie is the same company that midway through Sundered quickly edited the issues list on bungie site, didn’t say fuck all about it in a social media announcement or draw any attention to it. You literally had to go see randoms saying hey don’t run these weapons it’s not gonna work because numbers aren’t correct and this boss is programmed weird . Bungie didn’t even do an apologetic, hey we screwed up let’s talk about nerdy shit why this got screwed up or any attempt to feel bad for it. I reckon we will get some people breaking it all down how extra fucked things actually were

>>532056153
Have they still not fixed that?

What raid is the equalivent of this webm?

>>532055902
That's cause, like Les, he's an actual friend of Cross.

>>532056096
nah, its because SPUTZ wanted to trade up to a supposedly better fireteam (Moosesmells), so he had no where else to go.

What is it about Desert Perpetual that filters Skarrow9 and Mactics?

>>532056301
I forget probably not

>>532056310
>everyone kinda fucking around but it works somehow
Root of Nightmares

>>532056052
it's all slop except maybe warframe because it's so fucking tedious

>>532056010
>Did we ever get a timer on how long Final Stand lasts?
I've heard it's 10 seconds

so is the raid actually good or no

>>532056310
rhulk encounter

>>532056313
Ohhh that makes sense also is that Bradley random fucking guy like a relative or something, it makes no sense that cross finds some other hillbilly motherfucker and then suddenly pushes him and then this guys getting Marathon streamer kit

>>532056513
Nope!

Your memes fade away.

Is zavalr a virgin?

>>532056513
the stinkiest raid they put out, not counting the leviathan dungeons

>>532056463
what games do you play that you dont consider slop
genuinely interested to expand my list

>>532056513
No

>>532055201
but bombad has a brain, dumped the game and refused to come back.

>>532056010
>This means that the contest mode boss has 141k HP.
141k HP in Final Stand*

>>532056501
10 seconds seems really short to do 150k damage in the current environment. No wonder people were choking.

>>532056301
Zoetic is just a shitty concept with shitty implementation. Shriekers are constructs, so you see damage numbers based on that, but the actual dummy unit that holds the health bar is a dreg under the map, so the damage numbers are wrong. Like Raneiks, it's them trying to be cute with encounter design when the game's core functionality is incompatible with their idea.

>>532056670
she gets fucked raw by the that misleading dude who keeps posting clickbait.

>>532055201
forgot about that guy

>>532056513
>Buggy DPS race
Nope, pure trash.

>>532056670
Sorry bro but her ugly bastard ex tapped that before they split. She's used goods.

>>532056513
The raid lairs were better

>>532056758

Are you serious lol

https://x.com/MacticsG1/status/1932087235177742849?t=TVir3mKjgjZXaIxJtSGB_g&s=19

>>532056916
It's a trick they use in a lot of places. You can use it to cheese a bunch of encounters solo if you can OOB to a place where you can throw Hunter's stasis super at the box.
Pretty much any objective-based encounter will have a dreg or captain or something in a box OOB, and whenever you do The Thing it pings the guy for a fixed % of its HP.

>>532056559
>Ohhh that makes sense
Yea they go way back, all the way back to D1 I believe.
>also is that Bradley random fucking guy like a relative or something
he's just a random dude and actually somewhat likeable BUT the way he came up out of nowhere was sus. I'm not saying he's a bungie plant or whatever but I think he knows a person or 2 at bungie.. i honestly don't know.

>>532056916
I seem to remember that a there was a captain somewhere that had the actual hp for a boss in the past? This just seems to be what they do.

>>532056703
>bombad has a brain
exactly
unlike mactics

Cross would be done by now if he just kicked Mactics.

ACKtics

>>532056860
>Sorry bro but her ugly bastard ex tapped that before they split. She's used goods.
He had a tiny white dick so it's fine

>>532057139
Dear matcis not having the deformed grandchild of the blam engine would be kinda nice when shit I get killed by something not even on my screen

WAIT AZTECROSS IS NOT EVEN FIGHTING THE LAST BOSS?!?!

>>532057139
What a faggot holy shit

>>532056916
Just adding to what the other anon said, it's a normal thing in games that Bungie's done before. Atraks' health is tied to a captain that's in the hallway after her encounter, so people were able to clip through the door, kill the dummy captain, and it counted as a kill. Zoetic is just bad in this regard because of the mismatched enemy classification.

>>532057483
Its because of craptics

>>532050537
Damn right I do. Fucking hate the bullshit they keep giving us in D2

>>532056798
I like how people referred to him as “the goblin” here, I was like c’mon he can’t be that bad, his voice doesn’t really make me see him as such and then the pics show and im like dang

>>532057139
>pro-d3 “fresh start” but anti-reset mindset is odd
what a fucking retard
make d3 don't reset d2 it's that simple

>>532057139

Bro skadrow is so fucking retarded
Just shut the fuck up

>>532057792
>>532007984

>>532057835
Snardit needs to shut the fuck up first.

>>532050537
I never played D1, will probably never play D1, and came in well into D2's life, and this is not an own.
Those armor sets look clean. I'd be happy to farm for them as transmogs. I think some of the more recent sets are fine and their hate is unwarranted, but I completely agree with the fact that many of the sets in the last 2-3 years have been too noisy and had a bunch of pointless shit tacked on for the sake of it. probably justifying use of an asset library

>>532057835
but....he has all those medallions....

How do you guys feel about this roflwaffles guy

>>532058010
If you remember those constant twabs from past year or two of, here’s a list of random themes and concepts, vote in our survey what you want to see, that’s basically the work order for the teams outsourced to get to cranking for making a cyber monk or hacker witch or whatever mash up .

>>532058236
very high chance that he's unironically a paid shill
also he's a dumb faggot and i can't stand him

>>532058180
LMAOOOO
the drama is way better than the race

>>532058304
Here’s an idea for a theme: military sci-fi

>>532058236
somone else last thread or so dissected him, he shat the bed in CoD Zombies and then decided to glom on to D2 for the same schtick.

>>532058236
rofl

>>532058236
He needs to go back to cod and realize his experience with D2 and how the game really is is more disconnected than your average D2 streamer.

>>532058236
I watched him a lot for his cod zombies tutorials
that being said, I was incredibly excited for him to get into destiny, now I feel like he kind of used his influence to get himself to the top in a very quick and short amount of time. It really bothers me that he got to get invited to bungie after just talking and playing destiny for like what 3 months? and he gets invited to bungie + having some kind of influence? Ok, sure.

>>532058386
thats pretty uninclusive and ableist.

>>532058236
Hate him, he doesn’t understand the game and thinks what streamers experience is the norm for everyone else. I wish CoD was better so he could take his ass back

>cross threw because he was muted
he wasn't... talking shit to himself about mactics, was he?
jannies in the youtube chat are sweeping it up

.........

>>532058365
They cut him a lot of checks, I think bungie did for a lot of people to push marathon who were big in other games but these people playing more modern games could see right through marathon being shit and just bailed on it, rofl wanted to play ball and that’s why we’re stuck with him

>>532058365
>>532058407

ELITEST DATTO

>>532058386
nuBungie is incapable of imitating D1 style, sadly. Like for real, every their attempt basically ends up looking like some lame Temu/Wish.com copy.
They. Just. Don't. Get. It. They can't even port properly armor from D1.

>>532058692
holy fucking carry by skarrow and toes

meanwhile cross' chat twitch has had it with mactics and the jannies are sweeping it hard

>>532059048
they’re like jj abrams but for their own game

>>532059048
>that image
I can’t get over how lame and gay Destiny’s anniversary was. When fucking mobile gacha slop give out tons of free shit and fanfare when they have anniversaries

>>532059048
I don’t know how they fucked the hunter one up so bad it’s hideous

Redditors are nooooticing

>>532059202
There’s rumors that into the light was supposed to be the 10th anniversary but they panicked when final shape got delayed and just released what they had finished which does kind of make sense

>>532059260
I mean, didn't Cross send one of his staff to Tennocon for that exact reason?
I hate how much people overrun this general with warfaggotry, but the comparison is gonna get drawn.

>>532059223
They have no clue what the original draw of hunter was back in D1, their image is weeb ninja shit. I bet they regret bringing bsck gunslinger and wish they made something like ”blade stormer” who only has blade barrage

>>532059260
and tennocon absolutely smoked the raid race anyway

>>532059384
I’d believe it
>>532059384
He is already disillusioned with slopstiny but it pays his bills.

>>532059223
do you have any idea how hard making armor is?

>>532059437
There’s like literally 3 normal hunter cloaks in the game that are somewhat similar to the ones we had in d1 like just a normal cloak with a symbol on it

>>532058236
A guy who missed the Titanic so hard that he's now got on the rescue boats launced from Liverpool to go pick up the Titanic, stupid enough to think that getting on one of them will actually let him experience the actual boat trip and the luxury on board.

>>532059635
Oops second half meant for >>532059416

>>532059260
The twitch tennocon stream topped out at 402k (pic rel). During the same period, in the heart of the race, the entire D2 category on twitch topped out at 180k (briefly). If it was a tactic, it did not work.

>>532059416
Yea he his editor, he even has a video of an interview with the warframe director on his channel.
Cross is one of the few people that could pivot to something because he's not an abrasive asshole.

>>532058236
>>532058503
He is the new Datto he was hired by Bungie marketing to promote Destiny 2 to a younger demographic which is Cod players. There are too many coincidences and content put out lately like ARG puzzle slop to think its natural at all.

Personally I think he's a Pikey with a holier than thou attitude because he isn't a "Destiny player" he's a "Cod Puzzle Enthusiast" or whatever he paints himself as all the while virtue signalling and doing everything he can to be the everyman just give me the creeps.
Fair play to him for playing his audience like a fiddle because its hard to be successful doing "content creation" when everyone and their mother is.

Just don't kid yourself in thinking he's genuine or gives a shit about anything he says he does because its all for the camera.
I foresee that he will either crash and burn or move on from Destiny because it's a genre that quickly falls out of public favour and actively becomes a stain on your internet creation career.

People like Rolfwaffles know when to jump ship.

Only D2 cloaked I ever like was my FWC one with the ornament cause it was SUPER flowy and looked awesome.
Runner up was the crucible one that made it look like chainmail.

>>532059971
He literally said we need 6-9 encounter raids because “doesn’t it take everyone like 30-35 min runs”. Obv that isn’t an oppressive time to hit especially for easier raids but even just tardwrangling when you’re good at the game happens

Obvious BIDF plant created for a post true expac world, expect levels of slop now that they are paying overhead on this shills

what the fuck is up with the hp values in this expansion. even generic progression content on kepler is miserable on anything but legendary because it means i'm going to have to spend five minutes corner peeking a boss

we warned you retards back in Witch Queen that this shit was happening, but you all just said "it's just the HP for the dungeons, it's fine!" then it got worse with perma-under-power in LF, and it was just "but the raid boss has less hp than the dungeon bosses, it's just a dungeon issue!" and "well ppmoona is SUPPOSED to be higher level because it's an ENDGAME PATROL ZONE!". you retards at the mercy of shilltubers get what you deserve for not seeing the bloatmaxxing coming literal years ago
