Jimmy getting ice cream doesn't mean you're being punished when you don't get ice cream, Steve.
English

It's fun to watch, but i get the feeling that expecting players in a forum that only exists as a nonsensical -blam!- of dumb ideas and hollow feedback to find anyone optimistic feels odd. They can only see a buff to one thing as a direct nerf to something else because they have nothing better to do in life than be consistently negative about something they probably dont even play. Im currently using my summoner to grind t5 loot because im not bad enough at the game that also 10% damage handicap and extra mission score dont matter. And im not even a that good at the game.

I always wonder if they're too stupid to grasp such basic concepts or if they're just obsessed with being victims. Either way, it's hilarious lol

Analogy doesn’t work at all
-
English is a pretty dumb language, but it'll make sense when you get better at it.
-
Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I’m not sure how a language is “dumb” but I’m sure that’s just me. Your analogy is flawed because what we’re talking about here is rather comparable to two people running a race and one of them getting more to eat and to drink before that so one is at the disadvantage. The ice cream analogy implies that one is just getting something extra that is not necessary.

[quote]The ice cream analogy implies that one is just getting something extra that is not necessary.[/quote]AKA a bonus lol As far as English being stupid, it's because there's basically no consistency in its spelling & grammar. For example, "i before e, except after c" is something we're all taught as children, but there's tons of words we use in everyday life that don't follow that rule.
-
Wow, what a reason to call a language stupid. English originated from essentially four languages. That accounts for most of what you call “inconsistencies”.
-
Yes, a language being a mishmash of multiple other languages with no consistency in how it works is dumb. Idk why this is such a hard concept for you lol
-
That is essentially true for most languages. Besides, the level of “consistency” in English doesn’t differ from most other languages. You just haven’t got any idea what you’re on about.
-
[quote]That is essentially true for most languages.[/quote]Lmao no it's not.
-
Oh my god, ok, let’s hear it, what are your qualifications in the field? And if the answer is that you have none, just say that and don’t argue some bs about how you don’t need them.
-
[i]Oh my god, ok, let's hear it,[/i] what other languages are comprised of four or more different languages?
-
Evading the question
-
*staying on topic. You said most languages are comprised of four other languages like English, & now you're trying to change the subject to qualifications because you realized how wrong you were lol
-
No, genius, you said “multiple” when I replied that that was true for most languages. Reading is not your strong suit, is it… sorry, I forgot. It’s the “dumb” English language. Are you a native speaker?
-
[quote]No, genius, you said “multiple” when I replied that that was true for most languages.[/quote]Buddy, YOU YOURSELF said English is made up of four languages.[quote]English originated from essentially four languages. That accounts for most of what you call “inconsistencies”.[/quote]
-
Ok, this is extremely braindead but I’ll explain it one more time. Yes, I said that. Because it is true. And then, and now you have to pay attention, I said that many languages are comprised of MULTIPLE (not four!!!) languages. Hope you get it now. If not, see someone about that.
-
Lmao so when changing the subject doesn't work, you resort to being pedantic. I'll play along & clarify: Yes, a language being a mishmash of [b][i]four[/i][/b] other languages with no consistency in how it works is dumb. Idk why this is such a hard concept for you lol
-
Speaking of ice cream I just had some. It was delicious 😊
-
Man Ben & Jerry's was on sale last week & I've probably gained 10 pounds because of it lol

Modifié par IcyHorizons : 8/16/2025 11:27:23 PMThe game actively punishes you for not using new gear. Damage is reduced if you're using new gear, and you CAN'T do the new activity strike variants in order to progress Guardian Rank if you're not.

[quote]The game actively punishes you for not using new gear.

You old guns are doing the same damage they were doing before. There’s currently six conquests, which are one time completion challenges. Otherwise you never need to use avant guard and it is objectively worse than using locked loadouts.

Modifié par IcyHorizons : 8/18/2025 9:45:21 PMYou're half right. If you scroll over the seasonal artifact, it provides you a percentage value based on how many new items you have. Since I'm wearing the new Solstice armor on my Hunter, when I scroll over the seasonal artifact, the tool tip menu says that I have an additive 9.6% damage resistance. Taking off one of those pieces, reduces the additive bonus to 7.2%. Also, using featured weapons will give them an additive bonus. As the time of writing this, my Tommy's Matchbook, is receiving +10% additive bonus damage. In my primary slot, I have my crafted Supremacy Sniper Rifle, and it gains no extra damage bonuses. But yes, still retains it's original damage values. The point I was making, was that Bungie is actively forcing you to chase new gear rewards in order to be exponentially stronger than pre EoF.

One, the meta is abilities, not guns right now. Two, the 10% maximum bonus is minimal in the grand scheme of things. The actual new perks, rolls and tiered loot are bigger incentives. Again, a gun from last September will do the damage it did last season. However featured gear can get a 10% damage buff. Similar to how VoG weapons had a 10% buff last season with the artifact perk. While these new gear and featured weapons buffs should be removed, exaggerating their impact on the game is comical.

Modifié par IcyHorizons : 8/18/2025 10:09:42 PMYou didn't read what I originally said a few days ago then. In order to do conquests, you HAVE to use new gear to even LAUNCH the activity. And mind you, you HAVE to do conquests to even PROGRESS Guardian Rank. Also, you must not understand how damage bonuses work in Destiny, so let me break it down for you. With the introduction of damage bonuses like Rampage and Kill Clip, these damage bonuses were super important, and still are, to determine if a weapon would be considered god tier, great for general use, or just outright garbage. Surge armor mods, also became a HUGE game changer. How does this affect the "meta"? Well, with each additional bonus you have, your damage will be higher than the standard shot. So for instance, if a regular shot from Polaris Lance does 15 damage, (in current sandbox) and I pair 2 Solar Surge mods and get 1 Orb, Solar Surge x2 has a combined bonus of 10%. If I also pair that with Radiant, I'm gaining an additional 20% bonus from Radiant. Let's also just say for instance, that Polaris Lance is a featured weapon in this use case. Now, if I shoot that same target and deal.. let's just use 45 damage for an example, you see how important damage bonuses are, right?
