RIPPA Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 I love how Fallout has been running with all the other streamers. A couple of weeks ago he had a run with Datto. Today his Grandmaster run is with Aztec 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 Interesting little discussion that started to bubble up as Beyond Light will be leaving Game Pass (Forsaken will be added until Witch Queen since that content is getting vaulted) The date it is getting removed is Dec 9... the day Halo Infinite releases So there are two camps - the Bungie are cheap fucks and screwing over the fans by removing Beyond Light from Game Pass and the camp that think the ask came directly from Microsoft to clear out competition since Halo is so important for them. Again - this is what happens when Witch Queen doesn't drop until February and you are asking a pretty penny for the Anniversary event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 This is the content I crave Basically Datto goes through Fallout's vault and vice versa And someone who hoarded EVERYTHING - I know what I am watching this afternoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 To this day, I do not understand why people scream for more vault space.  I would hate to see the state of your closets and refrigerators at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 For me - which Datto's brings up at the beginning of his video - it has always been the WELL WHAT IF I NEED THIS THING IN 5 YEARS BECAUSE BUNGIE RANDOMLY DECIDES TO BUFF IT~! Or like the random shit like the toothbrush Now these folks have just been hoarding good rolls of weapons they might think they will need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 Holy Shit - they just need to @ me next time Since they are talking about half of the shit Datto still has floating around is because he doesn't want to give up his kill count on the weapon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty good about getting rid of weapons and armor, but I will grudgingly admit that I was totally afraid of shredding widgets like the toothbrush and the ramen coupon.

Eivion Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I have a collector's mentality that makes it hard to get rid much though its easier with armors or static rolls I never master worked. Others I may never get rid of because of the kill count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 Yeah - I know I would have a lot more space if I dumped all the armor I still have floating around. And I know I can dump it all. Bungie even said you could. I just have to battle the "but what if???" voice in my head 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I get that. I have mostly made it so that the armor I have is focused on exotics, but I probably still have the original scarred shit from the Red War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Okay, so what's with this annoying campaign to un-sunset The Rose? The Rose was just a placeholder for the Lumina exotic weapon quest. Are there idiots running around with Rose that have never completed Lumina, or are the just pulling it from their archives for general use? From what I can recall, Rose wasn't an entirely horrible HC, but aren't there a metric fuckton of HC's that are better than Rose? Edited December 5, 2021 by J.T.

RIPPA Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 I think it is just a small group trying to be different I legit hadn't heard about it until you said something. The ONLY thing I can think of is it probably came up as all the streamers are doing the aforementioned vault cleanouts and it definitely came up in the Datto/Fallout streams since one of them still had it I mean I guess if you only started playing with Beyond Light then you would never be able to get it (And I don't think you can buy it from the vendor at the Tower) so that might be why - especially for the hardcore collectors.

J.T. Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) I remember Rose being okay in PvP during the Crucible kills part of the Lumina quest, but there was nothing about it that would make me want to use it as a regular weapon. If you haven't completed Lumina by now, you probably won't and with Witch-Queen on the way there are bound to be better items on the horizon. I'm glad that I was never that hardcore of a collector. I survived perfectly fine without ever owning One Thousand Voices, Divinity, or Anarchy. The more I lurk the D2 forums, the happier I am that I quit. Edited December 5, 2021 by J.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I have nothing that comes from raiding. I think the only weapon I have had interest in from raids is the current Vex Mythoclast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't post there, but it's as good a place as any to get a feel for the current state of the game.  Every now and again I get the insane urge to reinstall and the forums bring me back to reality. I'm still debating whether or not I am coming back after Witch Queen launches. Right now, signs point to no. Edited December 6, 2021 by J.T.

RIPPA Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 Speaking of Witch Queen - I went ahead and bought the 30th Anniversary/Witch Queen Deluxe pack today because I am a fucking mark. When Witch Queen drops it is gonna be a completely different game for everyone so honestly any preconceived ideas need to be thrown out until we all learn what the fuck is going on.

(This is due to the complete overhaul of all the subclasses) Yeah, I figure the best time to return if I ever do would be after Witch Queen, assuming that Gally isn't completely broken. By then, sub-classes might be overhauled, broken weapons would sunset, and maybe PvP will get fixed.

Well PvP being fixed is going hand and hand with the subclass overhaul since they finally have figured out how to adjust each power individually (and for just PvP or PvE). Them trying to push PvP back to being weapon focused should be music to your ears but I don't expect it to not be broken in some other way.

Them trying to push PvP back to being weapon focused should be music to your ears but I don't expect it to not be broken in some other way. If they are going to make PvP more weapon focused, they need to make a better effort of balancing weapon classes. Otherwise it will just devolve into the same problems we had with gun meta over the years.  I'm cool with powers being adjusted only if Supers are the only things that can counter other Supers.  I think the failed experiment with Stasis where abilities could neutralize Supers taught everyone a lot, and now everyone should appreciate just how long a second really lasts in PvP thanks to bullshit freezing powers. If I come back, they need to purge the old Codex and Triumphs so I am not reminded of the lore entries I never unlocked or the fact that I never found anyone to carry me through Last Wish to destroy those last few Ahamkara eggs.  I am proud / ashamed to say that even though I haven't played in months, I still remember how to navigate Shattered Throne.  Ascendant Realm was my second home for a while.
