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

Destiny the game January Update

Ok so there was not much meat in the destiny update. Lots and lots of destiny fan boys have been
ragging for a few weeks now and its really getting old.
Destiny the game subreddit has been consumed by fanboys/girls applying massive amounts of salt and complaining non stop.






This is my plea to these hardcore gamers...YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES PLAYING THIS GAME! Most of us have a 9 to 5 gig and then a significant other/family at home and we cant play 4 hours a day every day.
Lets just put that figure in perspective 4 hours a day every day since the game came out. What other game every has had that much play time? You can maybe make a argument for those massive MMORPGS, but destiny is not an MMORPG. This game is in some total uncharted water here so relax guys.

With that being said, the salt in completely uncalled for, normal gamer's still have plenty of content to play through. and if there is not enough content for you then please stop playing for a few days/week and maybe go outside....

So the update was a bunch of fluff, we have another silly event for valentines day - something about doubles crucible......and the developers have heard that the players are unhappy about the crucible matchmaking...it is in the works

In closing...if you guys are not having fun playing or want more content, stop playing for a while...there is no new content coming, these stuff takes months and months to generate. All games ever take a lot of time to develop.

The response from the community really shows how much players LOVE this game. Do not listen to the haters, this game is simply amazing. Destiny 1 had a rich story that was ripped apart last minute, WE DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS MISTAKE REPEATED.
Please understand that we want Bungie to take their time with destiny 2...please for the love of the traveler do not rip the story apart....and also sometimes a linear play through it not the worst thing ever.

Destiny the game - which class is truly the "master race"?

Who is it going to be?

titan, hunter, warlock

Titan ?

Warlock?

Hunter??

Personally I have an extreme amount of hate for hunters....rolling around, blinking, having a cape and all sorts of silly hunter abilities. Jumping is an obvious point and case for the hate....unfortunately a lot of my friends main hunters and I have to see how capable they are at certain encounters - looking at your Crota. 

Before the great expansion of the taken king Titans were also very situation. Striker is all but worthless except aggressive PVP players or nightfalls with ARC burn. Defenders simply cannot be a master race due to their super being completely supportive. Weapons of light and blessings of light are a god send for end level encounters.

Post TTK sunbreakers were known as the destroyer of all things. In my opinion titans rank second place for master race.

stormcaller warlock

In my opinion Warlocks are the master race. Voidwalker, again only for aggressive PVP players and void burn nightfalls. Sunsingers are the end all and be all for any warlock. The melee ability with the range is considerably stronger than other classes. Double solar grenades also quite strong. AND NOW WE HAVE UNLIMITED POWERRR!!!!

Warlock #1

Titan (very close #2)

cabal

dregs

psions

shanks

Hunters

Oryx Challenge Is Here - Kings Fall

Reddit users have verified the challenge, and this one is a real doozy. In order to complete the challenge mode you need to detonate 16 orbs all during one damage phase. This means going through 4 rotations and allowing the big orbs to stack up in each corner. 

Things to consider:

Kill the ogers as fast as possible or the orbs will be too far apart to detonate all at once.

The "no knight" strategy cannot be used

Same runner can be used for every rotation

People can die

If a knight gets away and eats some bombs you can still recover-just survive another rotation of ogres to get more bombs

Good luck Gaurdians

Loot has been confirmed to be he raid helmet and a primary at 320 light. You will also get a ship and a pretty cool emblem. 

Extensive data gathered to compare sniper DPS

Black Spindle

A Reddit user has compiled a massive wall of text to compare and contrast the top snipers in destiny the game. Depending on how you measure DPS you can get different results. It all comes down to sustained, constant bullets hitting the target.

Raid boss sniper comparison

Now much like the black hammer in Year 1 the black spindle in year 2 will always over DPS anything as long as you can stay on target.
The whole discussion revolves around that big troll Golgoroth and for obvious reasons the black spindle wins on DPS as long as you can stay on target.
There are a few things to help stay on target.

Golgoroth Destiny Raid Boss

1. During your damage phase (some teams prefer to do this on 1, other prefer on 6) the gaze holder should be a hunter with shade step. This will ensure the crit spot for Golgoroth will be visible to all players.
2. The gaze holder MUST COUNT DOWN. Seriously....there is a count down on the bottom of the screen and all you gotta do is start at 10 seconds left and count down to 0.
3. Gotta have a titan with blessings of light and the titan must be prepared to drop his shield just after the damage orb is broken - or if the titan drops his shield way back in the cave it will be okay also (The damage orb will kill the titan shield)
4. One of the DPS team must focus on the damage orb to make sure it gets broken while the other damage teams GET IN THE PIT AND TRY TO LOVE SOMEONE...seriously you need to talk about this before the fight.
-Titan needs to get in the pit a little before the damage orb drops
-One member of DPS team must be late to the party to make sure the damage orb drops right before the gaze gets shifted.
-The DPS team and the titan can hide in the bubble until the damage orb drops and the gaze is shifted
5. DPS team must keep an eye on the bottom of their screen to see who gets tainted by unstable light and call out your name (in the 3rd person) and leave the damage aura early to get away from everyone.
-A trick I like to use when in the DPS pit is to form to line in the damage pit where the players closest to Golgoroth kneel so the people in the back row don't have to move either.....STOP MOVING IN FRONT OF YOUR TEAMMATES!!!!!
6. STAY ALIVE - no stupid mistakes for ammo runs. DO NOT STAND IN THE OPEN and get blasted by the ogre

Destiny and the proper way to use three of coin

There has been a ton of debate about this topic and the destiny fan base has done its homework...Luke Smith has said in a tweet that destiny players have yet to figure out the most effective way to use ToC (troll) there probably isn't a "most effective" way at all besides throwing them at the screen. 

Be that as it may there has been much speculation as to the best times to use ToC. 

As far as I can tell fire teams of three have the best luck when everyone uses a coin on the third ultra kill.

Best way to do this is to use a coin and kill an ultra to get your count to zero. Then complete two strikes without a coin use and on the third strike use a ToC before the boss. 

This technique has worked well for some and terribly for others. Personally I think you should just play the game and use a Three of Coins whenever you remember. 

Be safe guardians 

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 the dark below | just not enough

Dear bungie, your first expansion pack is simply not enough. We all paid for an expansion and we got a tiny bit sized portion of what a real expansion should be...but that's not even what I'm mad about. A lot of players, who are still playing, complain about all sorts of stuff that doesn't matter and mosty likley will not change. My beef is the fact that the vault of glass is now worthless. That raid was a challenge and was actually difficult...but now there is no reason to go through it....unless you are waiting for that 0.01 percent have drop of that rare weapon. 

How could you make the best part of the game worthless...what you have given us is such a sad shadow of what the game was suppose to be...I will forever keep the faith and hope you will hear our prayers.

Bungie has put a lot of effort into this game and their vision has been crushed by a consumeristic world. The players have complained and fixes have been made...no they weren't perfect but at least the problems were addressed. This game is some what "first of its kind" so yeah there will be plenty of things that are unfair and unbalanced...it will take years to make sure every class and every weapon is balanced so everyone can play how they want...give bungie a break and just know they are listening.

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
