what did they change?

Re: Destiny
There are about 300 or so odd emblems in the game. They're various different designs that let you show off things you've done or achievements. Some of them also came with stat trackers that had specific numbers tied to them (kills, kills in a specific sub class, resets, basically anything you could think of in the game that had a statistic tied to it). They scrapped all that in favor of emblems (the same designs) that let you choose the statistics you want to display. But the catch is that the subset of statistics you can display now is barely 1/10th of what you could previously.

Re: Destiny
Man the Destiny community is not happy right now. Someone doxxed one of the community managers yesterday.
Which aside from being insane is just insane.

Re: Destiny
Are they unhappy because the CM was doxxed? Or was the CM doxxed because the community was unhappy?
Re: Destiny
The latter.
A lot of people are obviously shocked and dismayed by the doxxing, but I don't think it would have happened if the game were in a better state.

Re: Destiny
What's wrong with the game? What's the outrage?
Re: Destiny
I haven't played these games and am not Dantes, but here have this
Spoiler!
Re: Destiny
That's a pretty good summary.
The gun play is fantastic, the lore is fantastic. The engagement loop is terrible and grind has become a slog. The community in general wants to love the game, but feels like Bungie is mismanaging the game into the ground.

Re: Destiny
It's weird because he uses his real name everywhere so it doesn't seem like he'd be hard to dox or that if someone did there would really be any concern of anything bad happening?
But yeah. I mean obv I'm not playing it for a reason. There's just no compelling reason TO play right now? It's just yet another event to do a thing to gain levels to get guns that I'm not super excited about getting.
What keeps me engaged is guns that I really WANT to get or story missions that I am excited to play. An entire year of these "rank up a faction to get gear" was always going to kill people's interest in this game.
Re: Destiny
I think maybe they thought trials would have more staying power but they screwed up trials too.
Like FFS a bunch of games of mastered competitive PVP systems and I don't know why Bungie won't just mimic those games.

Re: Destiny
I actually kind of assumed you weren't playing because of having to stay on top of the kids and all the stuff with the move. I'm still playing, but not as much as I was. The guns this season are really meh and the seasonal events are not great.Grakthis wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 1:51 pmIt's weird because he uses his real name everywhere so it doesn't seem like he'd be hard to dox or that if someone did there would really be any concern of anything bad happening?

The seasonal gun is fun, and so is Heir Apparent, but the utter lack of Ritual Weapons in Crucible/Strikes/Gambit was just utterly ridiculous.
I will say this much though, if you're a fan of swords this is the season. That passive guard mod is fucking sick. Warden of Nothing was the Nightfall a couple of weeks ago and running it was about the most fun I've had in Destiny strikes since we used to run the Sunless Cell in D1.

Re: Destiny
It's some of both. We're spending a lot of evenings working on stuff for the new house and a lot of evenings just watching TV for a few hours then going to bed. The 1-2 nights a week I am playing games it's been Overwatch cause I haven't been motivated to play Destiny.Dantes wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 2:21 pmI actually kind of assumed you weren't playing because of having to stay on top of the kids and all the stuff with the move.

Re: Destiny
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
They could just shatter the glass, so it really didn't function very well as a vault

Re: Destiny
Vault of Glass was the original Destiny raid. It was a lot of fun.

Re: Destiny
Alright then, I'm back. I think this season is gonna give me some stuff to do then I'll hibernate again until Sept but then I'm back 100% in sept.
Re: Destiny
Sounds like we know what the stranger meant when she said she wasn't forged in the light.
Darkness guardians on the menu.

Also, looking forward to running Will of Crota again. That is a hell of a strike.

Eventually. We get will out of the gate, with the Cosmodrome reaching full D1Y1 parity by the second season.

Re: Destiny
Alright, I'm down for that. That sounds fun enough.
D1 was good times, I am excited to see pieces of it come forward. I think the vault idea is a good one overall and I think having content rotate out will make it exciting when the content comes back. Especially if they make it a point to "refresh" it in some way when it comes back (i.e. make the rewards useful for end game play). This also makes it cool and exciting when specific weapons or gear come back. Good changes overall.
I don't mind the weapon retirement mechanic either.
I am waiting to see what LL the dungeon will be but I know Chris and I are down to run the dungeon once we know. Not tonight obv but this week or weekend seems plausible if we don't have too much catch up to do.
