They fucked up the game with the early seasons and finally turned things around starting season 3, and had great improvements through season 5.

Now they are literally force junking ALL the gear, seasonal or not, to make the same endgame that existed before, take longer.

So instead of actually working to add content, they:

• half ass implemented runes, which were already a copy from D2, but implemented them in a broken way
• turned glyphs into legendary gems of D3, but not as good again
• split levels into more gated tiers, with no added value , knowing full well that the only tiers worth playing are going to be the ones that actual give you chance of decent gear
• made loot drops a fucking joke, where even a tormented lvl 200 boss drops 3-4 items, of which ONE might be an ancestral, but it still has the huge shitty attribute pool, ensuring that most of the time, you’ll just be tossing life per second rolls.

Out of the 9 people I actively played D4/D3 with, all of which were excited for the expansion after seeing how well the last couple seasons went, not a single one bought the expansion and will likely be sitting out the next seasons until Blizzard gets their heads out of their asses once more.

Yeah, I went and read up on it after and it seems pretty clear that it is dependent on local laws.

I think the time to decry that topic was when those local laws were being passed for those affected…

Glad to see other folks have noticed this as well.

As a longtime Destiny fan, I was so excited to have Halo come in and take the spotlight and giving Bungie’s lazy ass a run for their money.

Instead halo flopped almost as hard as Anthem. Fucking sad.

This looks awesome and something I’ve been hoping to do for a few years. Can’t wait to try this on my home server.

Played the beta and didn’t even realize the game fully launched. Good to know that it should be avoided for now.

And that is not a good thing.

Stunning Medium and large sized enemies now don’t get stunned as easily. This will not affect the stratagems that stun, and will mostly just affect how easily the Pummeler can stun larger enemies

Why do they keep ruining the game with stupid changes like this? They’ve already nerfed all the weapons against heavy targets; stunning them was the only way to get a breather and lay down fire to bring them down.

With each patch they make it harder and harder to actually enjoy this game.

So basically a rehash of all existing locations and previous content, some to players again as new content.

Bungie truly has sunk to the level of CoD content drip.

My friends and I have followed this game from day 1, but lightfall was a hard enough decision to spend money on; everything since then has not shown to be worth full price.

Still no plans/pricing for Proton Pass Family (only the full proton suite).

Proton is missing many users with this simple lack of effort; not everyone wants drive, vpn, etc.

Some folks just want a password manager for the immediate and extended family; and often times we are willing to just pay a few bucks extra per month and not worry about helping these people after they get hacked, due to terrible passwords.

I’ve been debating for a while to switch windows to Linux and see how well it works for my games, thanks Microsoft for finally pushing me to do it!

Only thing keeping me on windows has been games (all other development use is far easier on Linux); but with the work that happened with Steam Deck, many games are now fully functional on Linux.

Very excited for this! Been wanting to come back for replays but was not looking forward to fixing mod complications again.

Bungie discusses their next terrible decision that will yet again, drive their cash cow into the ground.

This is why I refuse to use any download buttons on websites for FOSS apps; if it’s FOSS, it has a link to the source, which has releases, and is the safest way to ensure you’re getting what you actually want.

And a letter away from Futa, which has a whole other world of a meaning…

They had such a great opportunity to come in at a bad time for Tarkov and take a good chunk of the player base. But yet again we see that companies simply rush to the release without any effort to develop something worthwhile and then wonder why it flops.

Same shit has been happening with Destiny for years; Bungie has been flopping around and fucking up release after release, but the only competition that had a chance (Anthem), ignored their developers and launched an unfinished game that could’ve been really great, promptly killing it off when it flopped.

thanks for the tips! I am running a Ryzen 9 5950X, so it definitely needs a standalone GPU. I am going to be getting a 1070 off the kids’ computer once I upgrade them later this year, so I think I’ll just stick that into it.

Would really like to get the seamless transcoding to work so the whole family can use it without hiccups.

Very much agree on all these points; I just wish I could get the transcoding to actually work.

I’ve been running Jellyfin in a container and giving it access to an old GTX970 but it just refuses to do anything with it.

Whatever they forecast, plenty of people aren’t touching it until they remove the denuvo cancer

Very interesting research and write up - but holy fuck can we please find a way to share an article that is not cut into tiny snippets of text?

The people commenting here do own the game and have hundreds of hours into it, including myself.

The nerfs here described have a much higher impact (railgun shots literally bounce off enemies now) than the buffs to the weapons that were an absolute joke already and still are ineffective.

We did read all the patch notes, we did try all of the changes described, and then we came and expressed our opinion on it. Don’t assume what others have/have not done.
