Destiny the game is getting called out by high valued gamers/streamers

Here is Triplewreks take on the current state of destiny...please watch the whole thing its almost painful to hear him talk about "the good old days" Bungivi$ion has dropped the ball on destiny. There is always hope, but these are indeed "dark times" .




Triplewrek is not the only one to express concern. The verge and forbes even have bad click bait articles saying to 'quit' destiny now.

Make a stand guardians, make your own opinion. I will never quit destiny...I may stop playing a little bit, but I will never stop.

The light in me honors the light in you

Sparrow Racing In Destiny - December update

Hello fellow destiny fans! It' an exciting time in the universe. We have challenge mode coming out for the different bosses, new exotics, and.....sparrow racing!!!

If you don't keep up on your updates the best part of the December update will defiantly be some subclass balancing. 

The return of the Titan is upon us!! Melee for all Titan subclasses will increase 12%, and sun breakers are taking a well deserved hit on some of their subclass nodes. Specifically the one where they get health regen on hammer kill, now there will be a cool down of 3s between procs.  

Also many tweaks to weapon archetypes and some armor pieces, nothing game breaking this time. 

Auto rifle base damage increase, pulse rifle base damage decrease

It seems Bungie is getting better with making minor adjustments instead of sweeping nerfs. Our voices are being heard guardians!!

The time for Titans is upon us, put those pesky hunters away and punch everything!!!!

Remember when House of Wolves was around the corner and guardians were everywhere searching for those special chests. Then some sneaky guardians came up with a plan to get loot from the same chest multiple times. It was an exciting time with 4-5 guardians racing down a hallway to try and hit the next zone and back and forth as many times as possible before the timer ran out. That was pretty fun.

SRL is a great diversion from the core game and potentially a breath of fresh air for day 1 guardians. 

There is little to no chance I will be participating in this silly event, but more power to the guardians who are willing to pay for some extra content for everyone.

As always remember to have fun and if your not having fun it's time to take a break.  

Destiny and Bungie why the playstation love?

Xbox One

Bungie why have you forsaken Xbox players? We have been loyal since Halo...it feels like we had a strong relationship building and then you dump us for something slimmer and prettier. Only joking for dramatics of course but seriously bungie...how could you give playstation exclusive content?! You and I both know they don't deserve it!! I will never buy a PS4 no matter how much exclusive stuff you give them, and I know I am not alone.

TLW remember who your true love is, your first love.

And let us rein supreme over PS4 like we were always meant to.

On another note, the new DLC is looking very promising...adult things keep pulling me away from my destiny but I will make a short post about HoW sometime in the near future. 

Dear Bungie | to the squeakers, elitists, and kinderguardians

Crotas End - Destiny the game

I've been reading these destiny forums for a while now. Most of the time I can't stop reading because the flame wars some comments create are beyond comical. Everyone thinks they know how to run a the company much better than the people running it. 

Listen the game is suppose to be hard. Not everyone is suppose to be able to beat the hard mode. Al these glitches are not bugs...the AI should chase you around the map until you die....or the AI should take cover under fire....

However bungie you do have a problem on your hands.

The long time gamers are losing interest. How are we going to fix this?

Certainly not an easy task....my idea would have to be implemented in a half step for destiny 1 and then more in depth in destiny 2.

So let's get into my big fantastic idea!!!

A few main objectives

1) some rudimentary trading system

2) upgrades to your character or ghost

3) combined and customize guns

I understand this is no small order but this will keep players playing and farming for materials forever. 

The first part of the idea is critical in order to get some idea of what materials are really worth to the players. Let players trade material on some sort of open market. Once you can gather some data is how much materials are worth to other materials then we can move on to number 2.

Number 2 is for the RPG aspect of the game...people want the grind it's obvious, but the thing that makes the grind worth while is progress. So the main idea here is to have some super massive long quest chain for each of the NPCs in the tower. As you complete some of the quests you should get special items that consume materials (spin, iron, shards, but mostly notes of light) then after you get this special item to the next level you should be able to feed it to your ghost for 1% str, int, disp or a few points towards the next light lvl....this way people will have something to work towards. Impossible as it might be hardcore players can slowly rise above the casuals.

Number 3 is pretty much being implemented in the next DLC.

Destiny's January update will end the cheese

If you haven't checked already the next weekly update will put a stop the the Crota cheese...mostly. Give it another week and someone will find another exploit to kill Crota super fast and easy. The strange thing I have noticed on destinylfg.net (a good place to find a fire team) is that most groups specifically say something about "no cheesing" or "fresh run legit". The people want the challenge or all the time committed to the game is worthless and any gained skill doesn't matter. 

Another update I am excited to hear about is the VOG will get an update to drop the higher level guns and hopefully the armor gets a buff too...at least light lvl 33 would still make the VOG worth running. I know I am still waiting to pick up that vex mythoclas. 

Xur has been a major disappointment the past few weeks so hopefully this week he will be selling something worth buying.

Have faith loyal guardians the gods of destiny listen to our needs and wants and slowly changes are implemented to make the universe better. Unfortunately if you want it you gotta pay for it and I fear destiny will not be able to keep their loyal players happy long enough for the "comet" update this September.

Destiny and the cheesing method

I really hate this term. It's used to describe a method of beating a boss that is not quite legitimate. Most of these methods and slight game glitches some are exploits of the map itself others are methods to get a boss stuck in a certain vulnerable position. No matter what the method cheeseing is a super easy way to defeat bosses or levels.

There is nothing bungie can really do about all these methods of exploits...there are just too many players with too much dedication to this game to not find methods to cheat bosses.

I have used almost every method of cheeseing there is and I am not ashamed of it, but I know I don't deserve the armor or weapons I have. 

I will not discuss these methods with you because I believe you should beat the levels the right way, but a simple YouTube search will show you exactly what you want. 

Oh bungie....we love your game soooo much please please give the players more content before the new DLC next year or I fear you will loose all of your fans.

Destiny players beware of weekly reset

A friend and I were gaming late last night waiting for the 3am reset. When the time came we jumped right into the weekly nightfall. It is that bad wizard strike, but with solar damage!! So as two warlocks we tore through the strike pretty quickly....omnigal took a lot of pain however after about 30 minutes we knocked her out. Unfortunately there were no rewards for our struggle. We did a little Internet research and turns out you really need to log out and log back in to refresh your game.

Just a quick FYI for all you guardians out there

Destiny | an epic video game

Destiny

I've heard both sides of the argument for this new game destiny. It's one of the first of its kind...part mmorpg part FPS and it's all epic. If you are new to games made by bungie or if you read too much on the internet without playing the beta the. I could understand how you may be "disappointed" or left with a feeling I wantin more.... But the thing is the game is not over, it will evolve as time goes on and new content will come out... I'm sure level caps will raise and even skill trees may change. If you noticed and open spot next to your current skill tree you might have come to the same conclusion.

I've never really met anyone in "real life" that was disappointed with a short or... Ambiguous story line. Everyone I know tears through the story to get some decent gear and head to the crucible, and if you know bungie then you know the crucible is the only place to be....or farming mobs for decent loot.

The most important thing here to understand is there is more to come as bungie and company understand more how end users occupy their time in the destiny universe.

I am assuming new galaxies and maybe even a new class from one of the downloadables

All in all destiny is everything it said it was gonna be...if you want a super in depth, slow moving story line go play Final Fantasy or something ... This game is all FPS/hack and slash baddies, endless waves of baddies.

In closing, you want a story read a book...you want to kill endless waves of mobs or go against each other then get into destiny.

League of Legends - Play it for free

League of Legends

Here is my review for League of Legends on the computer. All in all this is a pretty awesome game. If you have ever played a game like world of warcraft, starcraft or any other game like that you will like League of Legends.




Pick your player and dive into the game.
Every week there are free characters to play like a dozen to choose from. You earn money and experience when you play games, if you win you obviously get more points.
There are champions of all sorts. Ones with magic ranged, ones up close and personal and even some sneaky ones.

Kog Maw

I prefer to play either the rough tough melee characters or the ranged squishy characters. No matter what character you choose as long as you have good teamwork you will probably win. My current favorite is a character called "Kog Maw" he is like a prehistoric bug that has a really awesome Ultimate Ability.

League of Legends

There is a small downfall to the game.....every so often the client will lagg out and you will need to restart the game. However if you get disconnected in the middle of a game you can always "reconnect" back into the game. That idea is very cool!

Entropia Universe - Mind Ark please make Sweating more useful

Entropia Universe

Entropia Universe is an awesome MMORPG. A lot of people don't give it a chance because it is very difficult to make PED to continue your hunting/mining/crafting efforts....I like the game but I really feel as though it could be better....and MindArk know it could be better too...

Sweating

Sweating - One of the very few free things to do, currently being traded at about 2PED per 1000....the demand is incredibly low and the usefulness of the sweat is pathetic....so basically when you are new you spend hours and hours out around Camp Icarus sweating and after you die about 100 times you have about 200 bottles of sweat....so you gotta get back out there and get more sweat....then after an entire day of mindlessly sweating you make maybe 2ped...that will get you like 100 shots with a laser rifle...which will kill you like 10 mobs and the loot from those mobs will be maybe .5 ped .....so you get back to sweating.....

Mind Ark please please please make sweat more useful...I know you don't want to let anyone get ahead easily, but remember the more money low level players make the more money they will spend. If you would just make the demand for sweat more worthwhile the game would be much more profitable.

You gotta make sweat useful in the crafting of ammunition or something to level the playing field here.
If you are having trouble getting started check out this website...it should help.

Earn Peds While Sweating

Okay so we need Sweating to be more useful...what else?
More stuff needs to be interactive for the lower level characters....from buildings, to pets to even plants...something more than Hunt Sweat Craft Trade
I know this works but lets get a little creative with some more interesting stuff to do to keep players logging on

Magic
Mind Force is kinda dull and really expensive to get into....Entropia could use a Serious Upgrade to the whole mind force things...summoning spells, spells to survey and probe for ore....spells to grow things, spells to harvest things....I can only imagine Entropia is make major $$$$$ so please lets make things a little more interesting for the players that can't deposit 100$ a week.

Thanks.

League of Legends is still down

The north american server is still down....they had to extend maintence a few more hours....however I am sure we will all appreciate the improvements so please be patient summoners.

I am curious what will come of League of Legends in the future...I am hoping the game adapts to a more MMO sort of feel where champions guard regions against other champions....maybe not I mean the game is pretty much awesome just as is no need to try and complicate things


My new favorite champion was Ziggs....but then I worked on my masteries and rune pages and I am back to Kog Maw!! His kamakazie at the end has gotten me many kills!


I haven't even reached lvl 30 yet so it is not like I can even compete in the real games....however I am still hoping for great things from LOL

This link will keep you updated on server status

Borderlands for the Xbox 360

I forgot that I really enjoy playing video games and especially RPGs...and so with that in mind my real life friend and I took on the challenge of Borderlands for the Xbox 360...this game is legitimate for the most part.
The game is basically an FPS much like Fallout. There are 4 different classes to chose from...
Soldier - with a turret that can regenerate ammo and health (best choice)
Siren - with some silly ability to "Phasewalk" and high elemental damage
Ranged Class - good for using a sniper he has a bird that will attack a single enemy
Berserker- Melee character big meat shield.... with an action skill to beat enemies.

Soldier class FTW...the game play is mostly FPS with a little bit of RPG but not much...the "talent trees" leave something to be desired, but like the game insinuates there is literally a "gazillion guns" to chose from...gernade perks, class perks and artifacts.

Some quests are a little challenging for me...just the scavenge ones because the parts are very small and difficult to locate. Remember the programmers are only kinda hiding them from you....take a second to look around!

Steps in the right direction....gathering information on Text Based games

If you want to develop a MMO, you need to commit to it. Even a text-based game can require a considerable amount of code, especially if you really want to grab the gamers attention and create an addicting and memorable gaming experience.

Roughly, you can have anywhere between 30-100+ files for a descent scale MMO (depends on what type of features are available in your game), with each file containing anywhere between 300-1000+ lines of code. So again, you need to committ to it, you need to put a lot of time and effort towards the project if you want it to be successful.
A hint I learned while searching the inter web: Don't try to make the "bestest-ever" in your first project, you'll never finish!

In terms of programming languages, PHP is probably the best choice for a text-based MMO. It has a small learning curve and there are all sorts of resources online. Since I have never coded in PHP before, I suggest using a free bulletin board like PhpBB and start installing custom mods. This will give you a feel of how to do PHP coding. Once you are a bit more confident, you can install a forum game mod like ADR (Advanced Dungeons & Rabbits) which will introduce you to the world of MMO text-based gaming.

And the search continues...

It has been a while...time is a little short I have been gathering funds the only way I know how. I am now working two jobs while I wait to get out of this town....
Still searching for investors....every little bit counts and will be paid back in full.
The mission is still a go and we are gathering forces.
Very soon now our goals will be implemented.

For those I love I will sacrifice
