Inanis-7

like you bet your goddamn ass you will die to an innumerable barrage of light death

now i'm imagining them using every light element and dark element at once

and now im thinking sbput the angel!yw post again

Who is that robot I see people draw in skinny jeans. What's his deal.

Are the robots important? Like, If I were to play destiny, would the robots frequently show up and be relevant to the story?

Is the in-game community any good? Can I play through the main story without interacting with it?

Is there any story arks that are deeply tragic? I like my games leaving me staring blankly at the screen when I'm finished, lol.

1. Honestly no idea. Could be Cayde-6, most likely is Cayde-6. What colour is his face?

2. Destiny is a game of many stories. Are the robots important? Depends on which ones. Do you mean the robots-that-once-were-humans? Yes. There is a whole story dedicated to them. Do you mean the robots-that-are-actually-housing-units-for-a-hivemind? Yes. Their story is very closely tied to the other robots at some point, and also to the Main Narrative, which the other robots don't really have as big a hand in. Do you mean the AI drones? No. Unfortunately not.

3. Hahaaaa... playing through the main story... about that, Bungie thought it would be funny to rip the main story of Destiny 2 out of the game, and also it's first 3 expansions (2 minor, 1 major). But, if you want to play any of the campaigns, community interaction requirement is minimal. The community itself is noth one of the most welcoming, and also The Worst. Depending on who you ask and who you interact with.

My personal favourite accompaniment to this is Icarus Dash, Well, and an Enhanced Eager Edge sword, so I can also channel my inner SR-71 Blackbird and enter mach speeds, whilst also running The Only Warlock Super Allowed, to satisfy all of the Hunters and Titans who don't understand the concept of the left stick or WASD. I also like Witherhoard, because it gives me an extra solar grenade with a special TTK exclusive skin on it.

taken in kind with the trailer shot that implies that the convo between ikora and cayde is happening inside the traveler, on the other side of the portal that joxer and his fellows were attempting to breach :

i think it's possible this may be less of a full on resurrection and more a manifestation of a memory, similar to the Nightmares. (i will note that nightmares are typically more spectral in their appearance, while our exo friend here appears to possess significantly more solidity) note the unusual effects around cayde's eyes and mouth

“Another disturbing dream, my love…?”

From what I see, apparently the nerf didn't properly address the stuff that is used for griefing. According to people who understand these things better, the core tech used for griefing is still very much usable. Though maybe the uproar about the perk being nerfed will make griefers stop using it.

Other than that, you're not alone! I genuinely don't care for the perk and until gamers learn how to act like human beings, they should have their toys taken away. Once again, I took a glance on Twitter to see what's going on and the comments are full of people being outright openly disgusting towards Bungie and devs, as well as being disgusting towards casual players.

The current narrative is that Bungie is only listening to casual players and casual players are not "good enough" to use the Eager Edge tech so Bungie nerfed it so casuals "don't feel excluded." Insane. This is often paired with comments where assholes mock people who don't want to be griefed and don't want to get put into strikes with speedrunners. This is twisted into "casuals think strikes matter and don't want us professional hardcore gamers skipping to the end in 2 minutes."

Basically the whole conversation is once again about shitting on casual players, new players, players with disabilities and so on, who are somehow forcing Bungie to make the game more casual by nerfing hardcore tech and removing "fun" from the game. And big personalities are edging it (pun intended) on. Haven't seen a single one say anything like "don't blame casual players and players who struggle for this." So yeah, until these gamers learn to treat others like people, I genuinely will rather Bungie take this away from them. Out of spite.

The conversation isn't about "shitting on casuals", it's about how most decisions by Bungie are designed to kill skill gap and ruin sources of long form pursuit in the game. Note before anyone decides to nitpick here that I said "most", not "all". If it was all decisions, Divinity would still be at 30% debuff.

Another thing I find oddly convenient is that only now is double eager swiping being removed after it becomes more commonplace in speedruns of the game. Their excuse is that it allows people to "skip encounters" and "break mechanics". I want you to name me one encounter that can be skipped, in any raid, dungeon, etc in the game, or better yet, one mechanic that can be broken by going rather quickly. The convenient timing of this "fix" is just another piece of evidence to the fact that Bungie just hates speedrunners. They're so wrapped up in their vision for the game, that they remove things that people consider fun. And no, it doesn't help in PvP, because there's footage of people still doubleswiping in PvP after the nerf.

When you start talking about how you want "gamers to have their toys taken away" what does that do for the people who don't treat people like shit, but still like to use the more difficult and rewarding tech in the game?

Literally div is fine, it doesn't need any nerf. People like him are mad that the game isn't "harder" and this would create a "better skill gap". Aka make it harder for new light players to learn the game, and affect people with disabilities.

Worlds first man times like 3 is salty that the game isn't hard enough.... the man who is in the top 1% of players is salty that its not "hard" enough for new lights, and it's "easy" to win now.

It makes the game harder to learn for New Lights? Unless they're jumping straight into raids as soon as they get out of the New Light quest then they would still have to learn how to aim at the same rate as everyone else.
