[fluid hull]

How tf is Bozoween over, it's still the 31st

[zinc pewter]

nuh uh

[fluid hull]

New Zealanders stay losing then

Still Halloween for us

[turbid vessel]

New Zealanders missing out in literally everything because they live 50 years in the future

[austere sage]

Hey since you're in the future can you tell me whats next in eververse?

[crystal ferry]

Just got my exotic class item on my main guardian (i dont have access to the mission that makes them drop) do i focus getting the exotic class items for my titan and my warlock now or do i start grinding for superblack and then do that stuff later??

[fluid hull]

New Zealanders already getting heat death of the universe

[dusk crater]

Oh brother, this guy stinks!

[gilded tendon]

so im playing.. and this happens

this is fair judgement....

they copied the script and model and changed the name...

[agile ravine]

That’s not how the quest works

You just completed an old quest you already had by doing the objective (kills with autos)

The quest rewards the Europa auto

https://www.light.gg/db/items/1938005549/europa-auto-rifle/

[gilded tendon]

dawg i picked this quest up a year ago..

ive used rufus fury longer

infact

ive used more auto rifles than i can count this year alone

sorry over a year ago

[sly fiber]

I'm so confused what are you talking about

[gilded tendon]

this

hes saying it's that quest

but i haven't touched that shit in over a year

ive used dozens of auto rifles for hours and hours on end since

so it just dont make sense

[austere sage]

The quest is ment to be completed without the auto rifle in question initially

Since you obtain it before the auto rifle itself iirc.

[sly fiber]

Yeah the quests for europa weapons never ask you to use the weapon

[gilded tendon]

the quest never made progress until i equipped fair judgement

[austere sage]

Copying the script makes no sense and would be extra work

[sly fiber]

You probably completed the objective

Which you hadn't yet done

[gilded tendon]

💀

no

like literally no

[austere sage]

It's unlikely it shares the same script because

[sly fiber]

Go pick up the quest and see what it tells you to do

[austere sage]

That makes no sense

Why spend more time and effort for that

Instead of just... Coding it like every other normal auto rifle.

[gilded tendon]

it's not...

[austere sage]

The design and coding of a weapon is extremely rarely correlated

[gilded tendon]

that hard to copy and paste a script

duplicate the weapon

and rename itr

[austere sage]

The script and model aren't the same

[gilded tendon]

create a secondary file

model is quite the same

[austere sage]

The auto rifle in question does not have unique coding to it

[gilded tendon]

it doesnt

[austere sage]

Because not a single quest in the game specifically requires that gun

[gilded tendon]

what im referring to is

the path to the quest

it's an auto rifle

[austere sage]

Yeah, which is irrelevant to using the gun in question, so I don't understand

You're in fact supposed to do the quest before even getting the europa auto

[gilded tendon]

this is showing that over a year, the only weapon to even make the quest budge was this

i never advanced that quest once

[austere sage]

Then that's kinda like

A thing you did

[gilded tendon]

i didnt do shit that's the thing lmao

[sly fiber]

Yeah you probably got multikills on europa using an auto rifle or something

[gilded tendon]

ive used auto rifles for years straight now

and this quesdt never budged

[gilded tendon]

nada

lmao

the times i was on europa

[wide lake]

it was probably Europa lost sector auto rifle kills

[gilded tendon]

and it was only now

[austere sage]

Then it's a thing for you and you alone

[sly fiber]

No like those are just the kinda things those quests can ask for

[gilded tendon]

im on europa here and this auto is equipped

and it finally advanced

[austere sage]

Then you probably just didn't do it right prior to that

[sly fiber]

So you just going to europa with it equipped finished the quest

[gilded tendon]

that's the problem

[austere sage]

The auto in question should not matter unless the quest is weird to you and you alone

[gilded tendon]

yall are confused lol

[austere sage]

I literally did this quest this very episode

At the start of the episode

Prior to getting the ritual weapon

[gilded tendon]

thats great but im not talking about your experience

[sly fiber]

Yeah i don't understand what you're talking about because the quest isn't tied to a particular weapon

[gilded tendon]

lol

[austere sage]

Then explain to me cause I'm confused, how is the weapon related

[gilded tendon]

well clearly this is

[sly fiber]

I don't get what you're trying to say

[austere sage]

To you and you alone then

[gilded tendon]

cause ive been on europa numerous times killing shit with auto rifles

[wide lake]

in lost sectors?

[austere sage]

You are the only one in the whole game to have ever experienced this if that is the case

[sly fiber]

Its not go get the quest again from variks

[austere sage]

Which... Is possible

[gilded tendon]

yes that too for legendary

[sly fiber]

And see what it tells you

[austere sage]

Though unlikely

[gilded tendon]

says the same shit it will always say

but this gun

i aint repeating myself

tryna get candy

[agile ravine]

Did you get auto rifle multi kills in the Europa lost sector specifically coinciding with the current eclipsed zone? Because that’s the quest

[sly fiber]

So you're saying through some weird spaghetti code you're the only person who's quest is bugged to only progress using that auto rifle

[gilded tendon]

i play a lot of freeroam

[agile ravine]

You’re in the haunted sector which counts as the actual sector

[gilded tendon]

autos are my main rifle

[agile ravine]

In the eclipsed zone on Europa

[gilded tendon]

i mean it switches daily

i play almost every day

[agile ravine]

And you never did it until now

[gilded tendon]

been over a year since i picked up the quest

[wide lake]

Bro is always in lost sectors in the eclipsed zones apparently

[agile ravine]

The Europa weapon quests literally do not progress in any special way if you use the relevant weapon

[gilded tendon]

lmao

[sly fiber]

Daily seemingly

[gilded tendon]

but like the quest literally never budged and ive played this haunted shit for hours

[austere sage]

It is statistically unlikely Bungie messed up coding that is only affecting you

Making you one in a multiple million

[gilded tendon]

guess im special

[austere sage]

Or you just

Misunderstood the quest

[gilded tendon]

no

i can read

[austere sage]

And assumed Bungie incompetence (which is rational)

[gilded tendon]

ive done that quest a few times

[sly fiber]

The more likely answer

[austere sage]

You're a D2 player, nobody here can read

Silly

[gilded tendon]

wild

i passed writing class with flying colors

sorry

wrong class

reading

lmao

[austere sage]

And played destiny? Likely story buddy

[gilded tendon]

[austere sage]

You cant play destiny and read

The past is irrelevant

Headache finally gone now, how stressful can solo flawless be? 😀

[heady girder]

Also, if you're only doing the seal, solo flawless isn't required

It's just solo

[dusk crater]

Its an insanely easy solo experience until final encounter

Then its miserable

[tawdry wing]

only miserable bc of damage

gonna wish you was dead by the time you’re done

idk bungie really wants me to have hoarfrost

[blazing relic]

Get speakers sight
Look inside
No eyeholes

[fluid hull]

The weapon's heart is literally cold

And the Arc damage is because that's the energy the weapon uses

The issue is that it produces a lot of heat hence the need of a lot of coolant

[clever pine]

why bother

[fluid hull]

no Destiny 2 OST: Into the Light.

[dusk crescent]

I once saw this destiny menu in a dream What is this even for?

This doesn't seem to have a puerpose

I believe it is for solar hunters

[fluid hull]

Destiny 2 Episode: Sunbreak

[dusk crescent]

what does that mean?

[fluid hull]

It means we're GOING BACK TO MERCURY BABY WOOHOO

[dusk crescent]

What so I had

one of those futur prophecy dreams?

[fluid hull]

The Traveler gave you visions clearly

[dusk crescent]

Tell you what

next time I have a destiny dream again I will make sure to close on the details

so I can recreate them in inkscape

[dusk crescent]

Funny coincidence That I also saw another planet in the destinations menu I think. Again it is all kind of blurry

We should cirulate this

[agile ravine]

This looks like an Overwatch menu

[dusk crescent]

That is why it confused me, it looks nothing like destiny

I got one with better quality

The narrator said it was a test from bungie

that was quickly removed

[round torrent]

Wut is this

[dusk crescent]

It is a menu I recived from a dream

[round torrent]

you had a dream?

[dusk crescent]

yeah

this is the one thing i remember

A bunch of bars labled "Beam" with a solar look, and you can select different types

some I knew were locked

[round torrent]

So ur saying u saw this image while dreaming? Like asleep. And u Made the image to how it looked like?

[dusk crescent]

yeah, as close as I can, athough some detailes were blurred from my mind

[round torrent]

Dam

Hmmm

Weird

What’s “beam” meant to mean? And those symbols at the top lol

Also that’s impressive idk how u made that

[dusk crescent]

The narrator said it had something to do with an emblem

[round torrent]

And how did u

Make it lol

[dusk crescent]

ink scape

[round torrent]

Narrator?

Oh like

Ik

[round torrent]

Wut

[dusk crescent]

yeah, it sounded like a dev or a youtuber

Explaining that it changed your subclass

but was quickly scrapped

[fluid hull]

hmmm, perhaps this was from the cut 4th episode

yes, Episode: Sunbreak

[dusk crescent]

the question is what would it do

[fluid hull]

the plot would have circulated around the return of Mercury

where we need to help rebuild the Sunbreaker Titan order

[dusk crescent]

I mean the menu

What would the menu do

[fluid hull]

I speculate that the beams were related to rebuilding the Firebreak Plaza on Mercury

perhaps as the Episode progressed we would construct and upgrade new beams

the beams would give us bonuses and buffs

even loot

[dusk crescent]

Aw dang would that be fun?

[fluid hull]

well I can't say much on the gameplay of the Episode

since we only have this menu to go off of

but since it's Mercury, we could speculate on that

maybe the return of the Fields of Glass patrol space

kind of like the Derelict Leviathan for Season of the Haunted

[dusk crescent]

Wouldn't that be something

[fluid hull]

could the plot involve the Infinite Forest I wonder

maybe the return of Brother Vance as well

[dusk crescent]

I just got an Idea for an exotic weapon I can make

Especially for the season you came up with

[fluid hull]

Episode

[dusk crescent]

Oh right cause they don't do seasons anymore

[fluid hull]

well, they will do season again for Frontiers

[dusk crescent]

Im gonna make a Primary slot exotic sword

that looks like an axe

I just need to figure out the perks

[fluid hull]

Sunspot generation?

maybe it allows one to use Sol Invictus on other classes

for Titan, on other subclasses or without the aspect equipped

[dusk crescent]

What is Sol Invictus?

Ogh

I looked it up

Yeah

[fluid hull]

pretty potent Aspect for Solar Titan

[dusk crescent]

Athough how can we create sun spots with the sword

[fluid hull]

kills

but there's a cooldown

or it needs to charge it up

[dusk crescent]

Ok we will have that as the exotic perk

but what will be the blue weapon perk?

[fluid hull]

what frame though

[dusk crescent]

oh

hm

[fluid hull]

the trait?

[dusk crescent]

yeah

[fluid hull]

hmmm

[dusk crescent]

and i am thinking Adaptive frame

[fluid hull]

maybe the primary ammo aspect

[dusk crescent]

How about the heavy attack that makes a scortching blast

[fluid hull]

I like the crown-splitter frame though

[dusk crescent]

Then aggressive frame

[fluid hull]

or perhapse make Incandescent the catalyst

[dusk crescent]

hmmm

yeah

[clever pine]

they should make an exotic ballyhoo

[mystic saddle]

@zinc pewter @graceful violet HAHAHHAHA

fk wrong one

WAIT

[dusk crescent]

And what would you like to name the blade?

[fluid hull]

hmmm

lemme come up with a few options

[dusk crescent]

▪ Primary slot (facing left)
▪ Exotic sword
▪ Hammer like design
▪ Solar
▪ (exotic perk) Creates sunspots on kills
▪ (trait) Heavy attack is a slam that makes a scorch explosion that uses a lot of ammo
▪ Aggressive frame
▪ Burst guard
▪ Jagged edge

[heady girder]

Imagine if this is all leaks, but they're acting like it's all a dream to bypass the rules

[dusk crescent]

hah

[heady girder]

I happened to dream that bungie will create a mobile spin-off on the Destiny franchise

[fluid hull]

Sol's Embrace
Firebreak Edge
Cremator
Radiant Crash
Crematorium
Furnace of Callisto Yin
(some of these cana lso be used to name the trait/exotic perk)

Sunbreaker's Fury

[dusk crescent]

I was thinking "Carved Branch" as it's name

cause their group is named "endless breanches"

no wait

it is a mission?

But Sol's embrace might work

[fluid hull]

Name - Sunbreaker's Fury
Trait - Radiant Crash
Exotic Perk - Crematorium
Ornament Name - Furnace of Callisto Yin (Design elements based on Fire Victorious Shell)

or maybe

we use Sol's Embrace instead of Crematorium

maybe replace Radiant Crash with Crematorium

[dusk crescent]

Maybe (favor of the sun breaker) as the exotic perk

[dusk crescent]

We should bring this to DM's so the chat isn't flooded

[fluid hull]

I'd rather have something shorter for the perk name

plus, Sol's Embrace fits better with the Sunspot idea

[dusk crescent]

Ok

[fluid hull]

maybe Sol Amplexus

[frail locust]

Running out of spaces in my collectors case. I need a thorn and warlock logo pin.

I've already purchased the legend seal pin

[floral ether]

what's with the Subaru pin

[zinc pewter]

EB Games is based

@unreal wharf i'd like to deeply apologize

Spag died and cooked our 1 phase

[grim ridge]

bagging my ghost just to die is crazy work

[dreamy ridge]

very interesting choice of a weapon to dps with

[grim ridge]

its good on raneiks funnily enough

[dreamy ridge]

ehhh

wave frame heavy does way more damage

easier to use too

[grim ridge]

for sure

unfortunately for him he cooked the 1phase

[zinc pewter]

unsurprising

[clear hatch]

One day bungie will make this weapon usable again 😔

[dusk crater]

I saw a youtube short saying tractor was the best shotgun dps

It wasnt bait

[zinc pewter]

not have to play crucible or gambit

[gentle sable]

okay you get a slightly changed vanguard playlist

GG style

[zinc pewter]

not gg

anything but that

[dreamy ridge]

Whats crazy to me is that it takes them over a year to put 20 new enemy placements in a strike and call it reworked

while removing it from the strikes playlist

[gentle sable]

what weapons you got for me?

[dreamy ridge]

random drop

keep getting high ground rolls

idk why

[gentle sable]

wow

Yes, at the end of the Season of Plunder.

Osiris was woken from his comatose state.

[warm sorrel]

woken?

yeah I know, bungie went woke after plunder.

[jade lance]

[gentle sable]

[warm sorrel]

something wrong here?

[ionic jetty]

Assuming it wasn't a joke, Osiris and Saint have been stated to be in a relationship since Dawn, among many other things. If it was a joke... I think it fell flat.

[dusk crater]

This dialogue is fucking horrendous

Baby ahamkara is kinda hype tho

WOO YEAH GAMBLING

@devout mason

its a gacha

[cursive needle]

Fuckin baby ahamkara in destiny rising I think

Anyways that was a decent first mission way better than new light in destiny 2

[agile ravine]

Radegast? The lamest iron lord?

This game will die

[dusk crater]

His voice fucking sucks

[dusk crater]

Peak dialogue btw

[wide lake]

That’s no moon..

[agile ravine]

Who were the people that said it looked better than D2 again

[zinc pewter]

the player turning is the npcs turning to look at you as you run past animation lmao

[agile ravine]

Kill it

[dusk crater]

Also crossbows are an entire weapon type here, not just a one off weapon

Nvm i cant post that

Chat is being degenerate

Ikora is playable

Blud got relegated to a 4*

THEYRE USING AI VOICE ACTING LMAO

BUNGIE

[zinc pewter]

this isnt bungie

[dusk crater]

Their IP

[fringe heron]

They domesticated him

[gentle sable]

😭

i hate this

[jade lance]

[dusk crater]

That may be an ai voiceline

Not all of them are labeled it seems

[zinc pewter]

Isn't this the beat test

They could most likely be place holders

[fringe heron]

yeah i figure its placeholders

Gunsmith does the same thing mid dialogue

[dusk crater]

Heres some general gameplay

Im still figuring out a control scheme I like

[gentle sable]

the fuck is the hammer

[dusk crater]

Its

A really big

Hammer

[gentle sable]

well yeah

but what for

why

is it there

[dusk crater]

Hammer

[gentle sable]

[dusk crater]

Letting destiny players send voice messages cant go wrong

[zinc pewter]

Kinda refreshing having a female ghost VA

I keep having to crop out text chat for reasons

[austere sage]

I believe I require context

[halcyon bronze]

[cursive needle]

Bro just connect to a controller makes it so much better

[austere sage]

As of... A few hours ago?

[halcyon bronze]

[austere sage]

[gentle sable]

well

[halcyon bronze]

Lol yeah

[gentle sable]

it was sitting there from yesterday i assume?

[halcyon bronze]

I was playing within the night

[dusk crater]

The ai generated fallen voice acting sounds like a radio in a blender

God damnit i dont care about the story, LET ME GAMBLE

[halcyon bronze]

Anyways the point is that I’m glad I didn’t discard it before looking at its perks

[dusk crater]

YES

GAMBLING

Eververse persists

Theres a fucking card game

[austere sage]

That was a good idea

[dusk crater]

The destiny 1 grimoire dreg card goes insane

I dont fuck with her appearance

[zinc pewter]

the head looks really squished

[halcyon bronze]

What is all this? Do I need to finish the final shape campaign to unlock this?

[dusk crater]

Mobile game

[halcyon bronze]

Ahh

[dusk crater]

Playtest invites were already sent out, so you'll need to wait

[halcyon bronze]

Imma stick to the ps5 version 😭🙏🏼

[dreamy ridge]

not missing out on much

mobile game is watered down destiny

[dusk crater]

But we have colonized drifter

[halcyon bronze]

When you reset your crucible rank and ur opponent’s is this bad, I just feel bad at this point 😂

[zinc pewter]

😭

[zinc pewter]

resetting rank doesnt do anything to matchmaking

its just there for rewards

[halcyon bronze]

Ahh so there is no skill based

[dusk crater]

Why is bros ghost so fucking big

[dreamy ridge]

there is skill based matchmaking to some degree

[round torrent]

when was Eva allowed to leave her prison??

[opaque solar]

A little Strider's Gate soup can action. 😂

[dusk crater]

Ooo Kabr is actually kinda fun to play as

I LOVE GAMBLING

[agile ravine]

why do they look like that

[dusk crater]

Asian game

[agile ravine]

[dusk crater]

Eastern character designs are mega homogonized in the mobile market

YEAH

GO ME

I AM WINNER

[frail tree]

Punch but harder

[austere sage]

It is very simple

[tawdry wing]

[dusk crater]

Ima be real

I kinda like destiny rising

[wide lake]

But it’s ophidian, when I punch I only punch I don’t use many guns with melee builds

[austere sage]

Oh

Oh ophidian

[tawdry wing]

[austere sage]

Ok yeah no that's ophidian that ain't no godroll

[dusk crater]

I think the jury is still out on whether this is a good destiny experience, but as a mobile experience this is actually pretty great

Gameplay wise

Story and voice acting is kinda ass

[tawdry wing]

as expected

it’s a mobile game i don’t think voice acting or story is good ever

[dusk crater]

Im really enjoying playing as Kabr, though titan jumps do feel kinda weird on mobile

[dusk crater]

It doesnt help that some of the AI voice acting isnt labeled

[echo stratus]

ohhh bet

[dusk crater]

I fw Drifters voice acting though

I think Drifters VA is one of the unlabeled ai voices

[halcyon bronze]

Let’s be realistic, ur going to play the game a few times then never delete it bc ur “going” to play it

[dusk crater]

I mean

Its a game to fuck with for 10 minutes when i have a moment

[loud plinth]

Destiny rising is Game of the year i think

[dusk crater]

Thats how I play Genshin

Its a solid looter shooter experience for mobile so far, and theres not really many if any of those

Holy fuck ikoras VA is awful

[frozen plank]

all of these exotics were today (0 lost sectors done)

[dusk crater]

Jesus christ idk what i was expecting for Ikoras voice but it was not that

[desert shale]

yall think i overreacted or nah?

[loud plinth]

You did indeed overreact

[desert shale]

first time attuning btw

[fluid hull]

what did they do to him?

[cursive needle]

wtf was that noise I heard

[dusk crater]

https://tenor.com/view/scream-run-away-gif-23892939

[desert shale]

joy

pure joy

[quartz trout]

mfw

[desert shale]

damn

[quartz trout]

we killed the boss with a last minute golden gun and the clock was still ticking

that's the most panic induced ad clear i've ever done

[gentle sable]

can you clip it

i didnt get into it 😔

i gotta wait to play PEAK

[dusk crater]

@gentle sable you can have AI and normal ikora

Hang on its sending

Also ignore me absolutely fucking up that jump

[gentle sable]

alright thats insane

[dusk crater]

Honestly these lines arent as bad

Her initial lines worse

[clever pine]

https://tenor.com/view/dark-souls-of-cuphead-dark-souls-game-journalist-hard-game-gif-27500531

[dusk crater]

Her abilities are cool

Her super is just nova bpmb but her other shit is fun

[agile ravine]

i just can't with those voices

are those ai

[dusk crater]

Some are some arent

[agile ravine]

its really shit

[gentle sable]

fry has your bio always been that 😭

[agile ravine]

how much does it really take to just hire vas

[dusk crater]

Theyre placeholders for now, but i dont know if trust Net Ease to not use AI in the final game

[dusk crater]

No

[dusk crater]

Theyre placeholders tbf

In that clip theres an AI ikora line and a real one

[agile ravine]

that doesn't make it better

at all

just don't use ai at all?

[dusk crater]

Placeholders are fine

Crotas VA isnt great man

Neither is his sister

[agile ravine]

placeholders are fine

why do they have to be ai

[dusk crater]

Why not

Its an alpha

As long as they dont use it in the final product thats all that really matters

[agile ravine]

do you not see the issue with using ai to begin with

[dusk crater]

Its just a placeholder

[agile ravine]

you know what a placeholder usually is

[dusk crater]

Something meant to be replaced later

It holds the place of the final product

Its really not a big deal

[agile ravine]

if you don't really get the idea in the first place i don't know how to impress upon you that ai voice clips isn't good in any context

[dusk crater]

If they still use ai in the final product then yeah, pop off, but for now it really doesnt mean a thing

[agile ravine]

"yes we finally get to have you record real lines but don't worry the data we already used to steal your intellectual property and how you make a living won't be used in the final product"

you're really giving them way too much credit if you think that's literally going nowhere

having ai replications of the vas in the first place is the issue

[dusk crater]

Its not that deep

[agile ravine]

hm if only there was some sort of movement about the concept

oh well

[dusk crater]

Innocent till proven guilty

If they use it in the final game go wild

[agile ravine]

that's not the point

[dusk crater]

Its jarring but nothing unethical has occured yet

Well then you have no point lol

[agile ravine]

it's literally already unethical

[astral egret]

you both have fair points, lets just leave it at that

[agile ravine]

the ai voicelines are there

[dusk crater]

Womp womp ig

Bro just casually has a pet ahamkara and nobody bats an eye

Honestly 60 pulls for a mythic doesnt seem horid

Idk if itll be that way in live but im cool with that if it is

[astral egret]

fat L

[desert shale]

I KNEW IT WOULD BE A GACHA

THEY DOUBTED ME

[dreamy ridge]

until you realise itll take 5 months to get that much currency

[dusk crater]

Characters only being able to use specific weapon types is kinda lame

[dreamy ridge]

L game, L dev

[dusk crater]

Eh, gotta see more of how currency is handled before i judge

[dreamy ridge]

bro they are known for pay to win mechanics

[dusk crater]

Yes i know

[astral egret]

fry is in denial, he will get over it

leave him be

[dusk crater]

Ive literally spent the entire time since its reveal pointing out diablo immortal being net eases game

But 60 pulls for a mythic is quite generous compared to the current gacha games, if currency is just as easy to come across, this is quite nice

Its an alpha, things arent in stone

Thats why im saying if

[surreal cradle]

Wait it's gonna be a fucking gacha game?

[astral egret]

it IS a gacha game

[dusk crater]

That was pretty obvious since the reveal

[surreal cradle]

That's fucking sad

[astral egret]

fry doesnt believe that

[dusk crater]

At least its not diablo immortal (so far)

I cant win

[astral egret]

theres a good chance it will be

enjoy it while it lasts

[dusk crater]

God forbid i say it doesnt seem as egregious as things like genshin

In an alpha

[clever pine]

is anyone surprised that the game with characters who have set abilities is a gacha game?

let's be real, guys

[dreamy ridge]

it wont be, its net ease

[surreal cradle]

I shouldn't have been

[dusk crater]

Yes, i know

Im just saying, how it is now, doesnt seem bad

Holy fuck

[dreamy ridge]

Hoyo has 90 hard pity but you usually get it around 60-70, and they give you enough to pull on every other banner

if youre lucky on pretty much every single one

at least in ZZZ

idk how genshit is

[clever pine]

genshin established hoyo's model

[dusk crater]

Also Rising doesnt mention a coin flip system

[clever pine]

hsr and zzz follow that

[agile ravine]

final game still isnt out

[clever pine]

tru

[dusk crater]

Wait nvm thats standard banner, ill get back on that once the event banner is out

[clever pine]

yeah i was gonna say

[dusk crater]

But 60 pulls genuinely is not that bad

[dreamy ridge]

The dev took 20 Ls in the past and noone likes them. Surely they wont get greedy again :clueless:

[clever pine]

yeah but then it's 180 for a pull instead of 160

[agile ravine]

[clever pine]

[dusk crater]

The game also gives you straight up pulls, which means theyre far more valuable than when other gachas give em to ya

[dreamy ridge]

what do you mean by that

[dusk crater]

Its an alpha, event banner still isnt out yet, theres a lot to be seen

But in its current state, for now, in this alpha, this doesnt seem nearly as horrific

[dusk crater]

60 pulls to a mythic instead of 90, so when the game gives you free pulls directly instead of currency, you get more progress to your mythic

[dreamy ridge]

I mean

[dusk crater]

Compared to something like genshin or something else when they directly give you pulls

[dreamy ridge]

other gachas do that aswell

ZZZ gives out 10 every patch

[dusk crater]

Yes but 60 instead of 90 is the point

[agile ravine]

pokemon masters does something similar iirc

[dreamy ridge]

can you check rates before hard pity?

[agile ravine]

doesnt make it good

[dusk crater]

So when they give out flat pulls instead of currency thats more value

[hollow ravine]

Has anyone else gotten mystery white box thing? I’ve no clue what it is but it’s interesting lol

[agile ravine]

what

oh that's like

the ether material for tonics

texture broke ig

[dusk crater]

Also the weapons have some cool perks in this game

My heavy gl fires 3 nades instead of one on the first shot after a reload

Gunplay is also much smoother than i was expecting

Aim assist can be a bit aggressive at times but id rather have that than not

Also the marketing material and the writing do match each other

This does not take place before the concept of classes

Ikora is directly addressed as a warlock

[desert shale]

this is just gorgeous

[dusk crater]

You can choose your first 2 column perks off rip

Pretty sweet tbh

[agile ravine]

stg i thought that said "right winger" at the top

[dusk crater]

Oh i can see the exotics and mythics already

They brought back a lot of existing exotic weapons

I wonder how they funtion in here

Scattered rounds

Like a shotgun handcannon?

NO

FOUL DEMON, BEGONE

[agile ravine]

evil

fucked up

is that freehand grip 😭

[clever pine]

heavy ammo jötunn

[dusk crater]

Yeah theres no special ammo weapons

[clever pine]

[dusk crater]

Returning exotics dont seem any different functionally

Not that i can tell so far anyways

[upper shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/godfather-massacre-sad-gif-16810633

[dusk crater]

Polaris lance made it back

So did Jade Rabbit

[desert shale]

POLARIS

[upper shuttle]

Is wither there

[desert shale]

LETS GO

heavy ammo witherhoard

[dusk crater]

No wither

Special gls are primary now

Also Graviton Lance is in Rising

[agile ravine]

wait is it double primary and heavy again

[dusk crater]

Peak has returned

[agile ravine]

D2 VANILLA AGAIN LETS GO

[dusk crater]

No, 1 and 1

[agile ravine]

aw damn

[dusk crater]

1 primary 1 heavy

[agile ravine]

why even bother

[upper shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/mid-its-mid-ugly-nah-gif-19839131

[dusk crater]

Oh fuck

Sweet business returned

[desert shale]

yeah u only get one weapon

can u use 2 exotics at once

or still just 1

[dusk crater]

Not sure, i dont have any yet

Im assuming not cause weapon types can only be used by specific characters

[desert shale]

oh interesting

so like one character uses ar's and one uses fusions

[dusk crater]

Its weird that its like that but i also kinda like it cause itll push me to use unusual loadouts

[desert shale]

thats how most gacha/character based games are

these days at least

[dusk crater]

Here's all the exotics if anyone is curious

Borealis coming back is kinda sad but whatever

A primary gl with swash seems kinda nuts wtf

Free 25% damage for solid single target dps

[devout mason]

@dusk crater how bad is the story/dialogue

[dusk crater]

Awful, gameplay is surprisingly solid

[vale ore]

How did I not notice this

[dusk crater]

I did get through the first strike

[vale ore]

What game is this

Rising?

[dusk crater]

Yeah

[devout mason]

Its a gacha game though. Im cryin

[dusk crater]

The strike i played was solid, theres barely any story in it, but combat encounters were fine for a mobile game

And both kabr and ikora were fun to play as

[vale ore]

Ui looks like payday 3🤮

[dusk crater]

The protag is kinda basic and lame, but thats to be expected

[dusk crater]

Honestly the primsry menu ui is mostly nice

I have a couple of gripes but its not bad, suprisingly

[agile ravine]

destiny is like one of the mainstream examples of leitmotifs in gaming ive seen

only other big example i would say is undertale but that's not really mainstream

[dusk crater]

Also this menu has gyro aiming for some reason, so you can look around while holding your ghost

Kinda weird but cool i guess

@devout mason did you see the drifter in rising

[vale ore]

I was gonna say that damn

[dusk crater]

They colonized him

[vale ore]

Yeah

Excessive amounts of rise and guardian

Journey in wr got me jumping

AND they brought back resistance with the rare Athanasia motif in it for VH

I went crazy

[dusk crater]

Oh hey

gg in rising

Thats cool

I like how Drifter hosts a fucking card game too

"Idk what to do with myself, play pokemon cards ig"

[agile ravine]

so drifter without trauma and ptsd is just "hey dude wanna yugioh"

[devout mason]

Yes

[dusk crater]

Theres also a legendary campaign apparently

Ok ive found monetization i dont like

Potentially anyways

[agile ravine]

share

[dusk crater]

Its a little hard to tell if this is what the final product will be like, cause ive seen other early access mobile games put abnormal rewards in the battlepass so players can test the pass

Cause they give you the playtest battlepass for free

[vale ore]

Idk rising looks kinda BADDDD

[dusk crater]

But there is an exclusive exotic weapon in this early access battlepass

[agile ravine]

ok how does it even control

surely cant be comfortable

[dusk crater]

I wont be surprised if its like that in the final game, but i cant say for sure

[dusk crater]

Nah its fine actually

You can fully remap all the controls

Once you find a layout you like its actually quite smooth

You can put any button anywhere on your screen, and resize them as well

[clever pine]

i'd rather play destiny rising

[dusk crater]

It definitely feels awkward to play at first, but once you find a control scheme you like it feels just like any other mobile shooter

I actually quite like cod mobiles controls, and id say its not all that far from that

Here's some ikora gameplay with my prefered control scheme

[vale ore]

I’m gonna be fr

These controls look like a mess on the screen

It’s like half of the screen

[dusk crater]

Tbf im playing on a phone

[vale ore]

Yeah… But still

[dusk crater]

All mobile shooters are like this on phones

[vale ore]

Ik

I used to play pixel gun as a child

Peak game (used to be)

[dusk crater]

Thats also how i chose the controls to be, you can use a different layout with smaller buttons

Also theres an opacity slider for every hud element

I just havent touched it yet

[vale ore]

I’m annoyed this game even exists

[clever pine]

me when the phone game has the controls on the screen

[dusk crater]

Simply control the game with your mind

[vale ore]

Yeah but why is there 800 buttons😭

Like wtf

[dusk crater]

Theres not many more than a console shooter

You just dont realize how many inputs are used while playing on console

[heady girder]

You ever play Apex Mobile?

[vale ore]

Why tf would you play it?

[heady girder]

Why wouldn't you

[vale ore]

Who even plays apex constantly

I get burnt out after 1 match

[heady girder]

constantly? 🤨

[vale ore]

What

[heady girder]

I'm just using it as an example

[fluid hull]

that is not a Hive screech

[vale ore]

Hears apex

[fluid hull]

isn't there a massive cheating issue in that game rn?

[vale ore]

I haven’t played it in 2 years idfk

[heady girder]

There's always cheating in any game

[fluid hull]

but not all cases of cheating are equal

[dusk crater]

Yeah im not a fan of hive voiceacting so far

Both crota and his sister have obnoxious voices

[fluid hull]

wait Crota speaks in that game?

[vale ore]

All cheating is equal but some is more equal than others

[dusk crater]

Yup

[fluid hull]

can you post a clip?

[vale ore]

Crota always speaks

[fluid hull]

want to compare it to his actual voice in D1

[dusk crater]

I dont have a clip sadly

[vale ore]

He did in dark below

[dusk crater]

Imagine a generic evil voice

[fluid hull]

yeah I know

[dusk crater]

Its probably not far off

[fresh falcon]

What if you wanted to go to heaven, but God said

[vale ore]

Well that’s why I assumed

[fluid hull]

Episode: Revenant Act 2

[zinc pewter]

aint that one of Oryx's daughters?

[dusk crater]

Yup

We kill her right away lol

Also the marketing lied, classes are an established thing in this game

Ikora is referred to as a warlock

[fluid hull]

well if someone has a clip of Crota speaking in Destiny Rising please post it here

[dusk crater]

The first exotic you get is actually really fucking cool

Its a an exotic gl from Ris

You can charge the shots to do extra damage

Ok now i found a piece of monetization i really dislike

Theres a subscription service in this game that gives you a 50% increase of materials, and a +50% droprate to weapons amd artifacts

That really fucking blows

[heady girder]

I knew it

a subscription service

[dusk crater]

I mean all gachas have a form of subscription service, but its usually the gacha currency on login for a month

My problem is how far more abysmal this one is

[heady girder]

destiny rising is a gacha game?

that sounds abysmal

[dusk crater]

Cause at least with the gacha aspect, free and paid players are still both spinning the same odds

[dusk crater]

The gacha part as of now in the alpha actually doesnt seem bad

Theres still some things i have to see with that aspect

But that sub service is horrid

[fluid hull]

ok hearing Crota's voice

he sounds a lot closer to Fikrul

not really a fan of it since Crota's voice should be a lot closer to how it was in Destiny 1

[dusk crater]

You wont be happy with 90% of the voice acting ima be real

The only voice ive enjoyed so far is the protags ghost

Also the goth girl has a skin

Eat well, degenerates o mine

Two tailed fox ornament goes hard actually wtf

[clever pine]

ew

[fluid hull]

good lord

still kinda prefer the normal look

[clever pine]

default clears, i fear

[fluid hull]

is there clips of her voice yet?

[dusk crater]

Shes not playable yet

So idk if theres a way to hear her voice

Her banner will be available in 4 days

Right now we have access to these characters as well as Kabr and Ikora

And Attal and Finnala

Ikora and Kabr are both quite fun, ive enjoyed them both

Though i dislike that ikoras primary weapon is breech gls
