I fully disagree that this is that hard, because while loot is awesome, Bungie seems content with starving us for XP, and you know what Halo did every single week?

Double XP weekends.

If they wanted to make a special event, or even a special playlist. All they have to do is make it so your points in game translate to XP, and then add a multiplier to that XP for playing, and an even bigger multiplier for winning.

That encourages people to play, to win, and to finish.

And since, Armor is going to consistently take forever to level up, this would actually be sought after.

Hell, if they did this regularly enough, I would be fine with the XP reqs for weapons going up.

Double XP events are a bad idea.

They feel bad to miss & encourage people to play more than they would want. Additionally XP isn't that big a deal in Destiny other than for Armor Pieces, which is ridiculous.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Is the armor thing a huge deal? It's nice that you don't need to use guns or horde bounties to level up weapons. Just dump a dozen motes and you're good. It's hard to get a feel for guns without all the perks/the whole package in play.

Do we need the same for armor? There are like, three possible perks, right? And any exotic perk is already unlocked.

It's nice that XP for guns is trivial. I don't mind at all needing to wear armor for a while to level it up. If I'm really in a hurry, maybe it's worth dumping 50 motes into.

Off the top of my head

Melee gives Grenade Energy
Grenade gives Melee Energy
Rez gives Super Energy
Grenade kills give Super Energy
Bonus Armor for Sol/Void/Ard subclass
Second Wind
Extra Ammo for (insert weapon type here)
Extra Ammo for Heavy
Extra Ammo for Special
Bonus for INT
Bonus for DSC
Bonus for STR
Longer Grenade Throws
Faster Melee Speed
Faster Reload Speed for (insert weapon type here)

These are all important to a degree. The stat bonuses are super important when you think about 1 super per match vs 3 supers per match, or 8 grenades a match compared to 20 grenades per match.

What's odd is the XP reqs for weapons is about 1/4th of the XP needed for Armor. And then on top of that, we have armor that increases weapon XP gains, as well as consumables we can purchase from the gunsmith. Not to mention Festival of the Lost and now Crimson Doubles has given us event exclusive items to increase weapon XP gain.

It must be really hard for them to tweak any PvE content in this game...

Simple little events like "Skolas has broken out of the Prison of Elders..." hunt him down in patrol on the Cosmodrome would be a fun little diversion, especially if there were some loot attached. But, alas, nothing ever changes.

 

[mehrmantrout]

Not really...reinforced barrel but the other two perks are shit

Will still hit the range cap though. That's all I want from this stupid game a half decent PC+1

 

[stay gold]

Not really...reinforced barrel but the other two perks are shit

Does it have aggressive ballistics? That along with reinforced or rifled barrel is enough to put it over the quest CT-D despite the other 2 perks.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Would anyone like to commit suicide with me?

might as well since i'm floating in orbit

I mean...Variks did let him keep his weapons and crew down there so it wouldn't be too difficult for him to escape.

Speaking of Variks...the questline where you hunt down wolves on Mars really felt like it was going to go somewhere. It would have been cool if it opened up more PoE stuff or another small Fallen raid.

Agg has been nerfed for range, field choke or smooth is king now

When I'm at my laptop I'll link to the updated stats

I'm actually super disappointed that there is no Fallen option for the Cerberus Vae miniboss.

Seemed like the perfect place to add in some variety.

I'm sure you're right. I didn't really put a lot of thought into it.

Need a suicide buddy.

Not on Party Crasher. The range reduction of Agg isn't enough to bring it below the cap.

I run Aggressive on mine and still have 32 range.

 

[Mass Appeal]

The gameplay is just a horrid mediocre mess. Makes me appreciate the gunplay in destiny so much more

Are you talking about the Divison? What was so horrid and mediocre about it? I thought the gameplay and cover system were fine since it's a RPG first and cover based shooter second. Destiny is a good playing fps with awesome gunplay but as a RPG/loot based game it fails imo.


IDK, I think Massive is doing a lot right with the division. They already had a huge patch update their beta client for the open beta in a few weeks. The one patch they did was far bigger then what Bungie has done for Destiny so far in year 2. It also addressed everythibg people gave them feedback for on their forums. It's nice to have a developer actually listen to its fans....


Plus the fact they are going to allow matchmaking for everything including the rumored raids coming out.

If Bungie didn't have its great gunplay, I would have dropped this game long ago.

 

[Kadey]

I can go suicide but I'm going to leave the controller running for a couple hours and come back. Anybody still up for it just join me.

[BreezyLimbo]

This thread took a weird turn, all this suicide talk.

 

[E92 M3]

It has become genuinely comical to me how popular suiciding has become. People don't even want to play the game anymore lol.

 

[MythicReclaimer]

Suicide runs and going idle is apparently Destiny's new end-game.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

lol, second suicide game and i got ash factory with h&g

 

[brianjones]

suicide 4 drops?

goddamnit destiny

But killing yourself in a mediocre event hoping rng bestows some good loot is much more fun don't you know.

2v2 Trials with a twist just doesn't work for me. I would gladly play normal trials all day everyday, but I can't.

 

[WipedOut]

I would say close to 100 games and only 1 ghost drop, pathetic.

 

[Pandora012]

lol, second suicide game and i got ash factory with h&g

I just want a ghost

 

[TheAquaticApe]

#suicide4drops

goddamnit destiny

FTFY

 

[Deku Tree]

But that one that you got was a pink 320 so... Your supposed to quit after you won the game didn't anyone tell you?

 

[Kadey]

I'd rather die then play Crimson again. Pun intended.

Kind of funny seeing the reaction of those who have no idea what we're doing.

 

[Darknyss09]

Good to know.

I'll have to check it out again. It's in my PM so I can't actually pull it up via the app because reasons.

I loved the way the weapons felt in The Division and the weapon mods/upgrades has me very excited as far as progressing that feel through leveling. Destiny's unmatched FPS gameplay/feel and The Division's TPS cover-based/RPG-driven gameplay are two completely different animals.

 

[Lnkn52]

Literally dedstiny

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

I just want a ghost

hehe hope you get it

But that one that you got was a pink 320 so... Your supposed to quit after you won the game didn't anyone tell you?

that's what i told him too lol

but it was 320

you won dude

How dare you complain about that!

No way.

If the average game take 8 minutes including matchmaking time, that's about 7 games an hour.

The mode has been out for about 28 hours.

You'd have to of played roughly 10-15 hours of the mode already.

Closer to 10 if you are just suiciding non-stop.

 

[Axoman]

Not on Party Crasher. The range reduction of Agg isn't enough to bring it below the cap.

I run Aggressive on mine and still have 32 range.

I have and aggressive ballistics and rifled barrel party crasher and it seems less consistent than my quest conspiracy theory.

I engage with both in similar ranges and the conspiracy theory seems to one shot kill more often.

 

[Deku Tree]

He is suiciding. A suicide game takes two minutes. That's 3.5 hours for 100 games.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

mm at it's finest, even with suicide we got matched with same team 3 times

10 minutes and Pandora and I have played 4 already

PLAYED

 

[Kor of Memory]

Damn. I thought with all the constantly reloading of the round, and matchmaking times would have that atleast up to 5.

 

[jmvmadeira]

Anyone wants to hold hands whilst we die for loot?

 

[Kyoufu]

Is this the best way to farm Strange Coins? lol.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

lmfao

 

[WipedOut]

Damn. I thought with all the constantly reloading of the round, and matchmaking times would have that atleast up to 5.

Some of the matches we actually played, the 3 ghost that fell, each time was a game we suicided. Weheta got 2 to my 1. Yes I'm extremely happy with the 320, I just want a turd ghost to go with it, any light will do. Wonder if it has nuts in it.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Even with the increased drop rate there isn't anything desirable enough to waste time just suiciding in CD imo.

 

[Lnkn52]

random replied: we want kills


lmfao

Ask for silver in return

 

[TheAquaticApe]

LOL

That's screenshot worthy. I can't wait for the DTG salt post, "It's really annoying that people are just killing themselves in Crimson Doubles!"

I thought the drop-rate for the ghosts was absurdly low.

pandora got a shader so far

i already have everything so dont care

hope she gets her loot

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

The ghosts are pretty low, but normal crucible drops seem a bit more common. I could be wrong though, in which case the behavior is even more baffling to me.
