I'd like to see revisions to RNG.

Bungie has made some promising changes to the loot system in the form of static weapon perks (no more god roll grind) and similar advancements, but little comment has been made on drops.

Obviously, completely random drop rates pissed off a lot of more casual players who wanted to be rewarded for how well they do, without having to invest a ton of hours in the game just playing okay.

More activities that guarantee higher light loot would be great, but more difficult than the standard fare of *grind until you get a skeleton key and then grind until you get the item you want from the strike that drops it*

More difficult in terms of actual gameplay, that is. Easier in terms of the randomness of such events.

i mean you're rich, right?

hahahahaha

i've actually thought about making a playthrough thread for destiny, but i wouldn't want it to just turn into a circlejerk of everyone just hating it, because that would probably happen

I feel like there's little you could comment on, its very run of the mill just shoot through hordes of enemies, then hold out for three to four waves of more enemies, then press a button or two. Then go back to the tower.


I feel like you just wouldn't get much to comment on by the time you beat the third mission on the moon.

It was very much a game about the grind.
Once you got your rhythm going it kind of outgrew its gameplay.
Approaching the game like something you could play through once was not very rewarding, but playing raids, doing dailies, strike playlists, and things like that are what have kept some players coming back.

I ended up deleting it off my hard drive to make room for FFXV and Halo 5. What a complete waste of money because I bought the season pass too thinking I was gonna poopsock the game.

Season Pass was a waste of money if you did play the game.
y2 and y3 were the only real content updates worth paying for

Is 708 a good FICO score? That's what I have.

Yes, very.

Mine was 730 for a while, though it's gone down since I've stopped utilizing my credit.

But I'm also older than your average college freshman, so...

They're almost always taken out by a person with no guarantee of future income, no credit history, and no family means.

It's always a gamble, more so than a mortgage, credit cards or anything else.

This is blatant and obvious.

if this were true (it isn't), you would be able to realize the stupidity of wanting a simple "yes" or "no" answer

but you're braindead due to frequent drug abuse, so of course you don't

Oh yeah.

The average person putting themselves through college has a 780 FICO score, trust fund, and great job security.

"hmm should i risk crippling, miserable debt when i could've gotten along just fine if i just worked"

these are the things that stump solonoid, he just can't figure it out without some sort of input, it's too hard for him

you say you've gotten every job you've ever applied for, so what the fuck is the problem you sniveling cunt

Wow, that's some real salt. Could it be that verb is anti-work not because he actually hates work, but because he isn't charismatic enough to get through an interview?

And I'm not talking about borrowing the 50k a year to pay my tuition like some students have to, I'm talking a few grand to keep me focused on studies instead of putting things on shelves. Even if I never get another job as long as I live, and never actually pay any of that off, the debt isn't going to 'cripple' me.

But I explained all of that in the OP.

In fact, the OP was more than enough information for a simple yes or no, which is all I was looking for.
The inference that you shouldn't take out a loan unless the outcome is predictable stems from the exact type of trepidation that keeps people from accomplishing anything.

If you wanna say no, say no. If you think I should, say yes.
Don't try to seem coy or wise by blathering about confidence or certainties.

can you say with confidence that you can pay them back

That's a retarded question.

I have no idea what the job market is going to look like in four years, or if I'll decide to go to grad school.
I'm not majoring in something worthless like English though, so I should be relatively safe.

Ultimately, I can't confidently say I'll be alive tomorrow, much less predict my ability to find sage employment nearly half a decade from now.

well I like destiny

I totally dig the lore, and it's a decent shooter.

It's the raw grind, flat characters, and lack of plot woven out of that lore that disappoints me.

I'm actually pretty optimistic for the narrative. seems like they've addressed most of those issues, just going off the playable mission in the beta.

my biggest gripe was the complete lack of content in vanilla, and is the only thing that concerns me right now for D2.

I'm a little less concerned about that.

The EDZ is twice as large as any of the areas in the first game, and with NPCs out there in the wild giving you side missions there should be a bit to do for a time to come. The game is launching with just four planets, but if they manage to stay pretty large, without becoming empty wastes like many parts of mars were, we should see plenty of Vanilla content.

enjoy getting railroaded by bungie's ridiculous content paywalls for another 3 years

Oh I will.

When you have been gone for a year....and everyone forgets.

Your memorable 24 post run?

Oh yeah, tons of people remember.

*tiki tiki* Slim Shady

Is this how verb gets away with requesting anime to watch?
Pretending he doesn't like it?

seems counter-intuitive

Not really.

People will recommend the absolute best or their personal favorite trying to impress you, and you will watch a lot of good anime without wading though anything meh tier.

Plus, then you get to turn around and be an asshole to strangers on the internet. Your favorite!

A general PSA:

Micron Technology, parent company to Lexar and Crucial, is shutting down both of the aforementioned brands, in an effort to increase production of bulk flash storage for server systems.

If you want to stock up on some cheap Crucial RAM, which has been a mainstay of this thread, I highly recommend doing so NOW.
