After 7 months my lockdown project is finally done! Featuring an @TEAMEVGA 3090 FTW3, 5950x, a whole lot of @EKWaterBlocks parts, @CORSAIR tubing and internal fan, @WatercoolEN external rad, and @Noctua_at 200mm 1/3

@lulusoccer Absolutely not. This would turn in to just free kit/low cost sponsored kitting in until you get the jump on a team to take their 10k+ kits. 5k entry fee is more than reasonable

The consensus seems to be it’s hard - it needs to be that way: Not asking at all for Cryo to be nerfed Improvements I think would be better are lower entry cost - let me sponsor kit it! Cryo key contracts - so if the one gets looted by a random teammate I have a path to keys

@MikaRBW @th3jmanx I disagree. It gives cool aspirational content that makes people want to improve and put in the work to get there. This is what destiny has lost and a big part of what I attribute to its downward spiral

@th3jmanx It's a long complex boss which must have taken significant dev time. If they did all that just so a couple thousand people can do it tops then that's a ridiculous waste of resources. And on a personal level I think that's so lame

Just watched the people killing the compiler... How on earth is a team of normal people ever going to be able to do that...

@MacticsG1 You’ve played destiny for a decade. The community and whined that entire time about difficulty and wanting things nerfed because they felt entitled to achieve everything and get any piece of loot. It is a large reason destiny has declined over the years imo

When did people start hating challenge in video games? I feel like back in the day challenge was seen as cool and fun and something many looked fondly at even if they themselves couldn’t beat it Now anytime something is hard its seen as unacceptable…

@piersmorgan Well - turns out if you don't bomb Iran first - they don't use them.

From what I’m seeing Bungie still has it. Can’t wait to jump in and experience Cryo myself…after I finish RE9

@RyGilliam It is clearly a hardcore endgame pinnacle experience for dedicated players. If it’s not for you that’s fine. Not everything has to be

I've been thinking about this all day I can't wait to play more. I'm going to kill the Compiler this season if it kills me But I keep thinking "who is Cryo Archive for?" Streamers? Raiders? Hardcore PvPers? People who can play 10, 20, or 40 hours a week? What's the goal? 🧵

These collabs are one of the reasons destiny has been dying. It has lost its identity just to cash in on a few bucks

@BL_DAEWN @TheTacoTim Arc raiders is an extraction shooter for toddlers and is closer to a co-op PvE game with friendly fire turned on at this point. It is excessively casual focused by design

@oitzmojo @TheTacoTim How can you say that when the most successfull Extraction shooter has free loadouts?

Granted, this is slightly negated with the introduction of duos into Marathon. It's just not a good feeling to queue in with a kit, find that both of your teammates are free kits, and then you are forced to 1v3 most fights (not to mention said free kit teammates vacuuming up loot like a goddamn Dyson)

@BL_DAEWN @TheTacoTim You can still buy the upgraded sponsored kits…free kits are bad for any game like this

@oitzmojo @TheTacoTim I don't think that would be good for the game. Imagine one of your friends does not have a good Rook run or dies and then you need to do ANOTHER round where you can't play together. Free Kits do more good than harm

@AscendantNomad First case study is @RakkaGG

How Marathon successfully converted professionally depressed Destiny 2 players who only play Destiny 2 needs to be studied

@BL_DAEWN @TheTacoTim Yes, split up, do one run as rook, then group back up. Free kits are bad for the genre

@oitzmojo @TheTacoTim So I play with my friends we had a few bad runs and now what? We all go im solo as rook? Or are you saying Rooks should be able to play as squads as well?

@KodiakTheZodiak @TheTacoTim Rook goes in with a better kit than free kits…

@oitzmojo @TheTacoTim So instead or people having a gun they can fight with they just go in with absolutely nothing 😂 i dont think that really solves the issue

@stvrboy @TheTacoTim But that’s already what rook does. Free kits are antithetical to rooks existence. Why would you ever run rook when you can load up as a stack on free kits and rat a geared team

@oitzmojo @TheTacoTim free kits add accessibility that is necessary for the casual playerbase. game need player. Okay with them limiting free kits in maps such as Outpost however.

@TheTacoTim Those cosmetics could be earned an alternate way if they ditch free kits. Nothing is stopping Bungie from making it something like “complete x amount of *insert faction quests* with y shell”

@oitzmojo personally I like the free kit cosmetics that you can earn, but it does feel like there is an overlap between free kits and having Rook in the game. Should make it so Rook is only allowed on certain maps, and that you can queue as a group

Of course I’m at work for this 😭

NVIDIA really took the DLSS/RTX memes from the last 6 years and turned it in to DLSS 5

@isolatedrook Skill issue self report. Bro probably can’t survive on outpost

Did anyone actually have a problem doing this quest?

@Ziegler_Dev @IFrostBolt How about reverting the UESC nerf in trios?

Shout out to everyone for giving us active feedback on the patch notes and changes! Re: the audio broadcast distance change, we originally wanted to give everyone more info in the map and make it easier to make choices around audio: where people are, what's happening on the map, whether to run towards or away from danger, but we're hearing we overdid it a bit and looking to pull back the range in an upcoming patch. This change should till give some of that benefit but at a distance that feels more comfortable and intuitive to everyone. Keep the feedback coming! Even if we're not actively changing something about it right now, I can assure you it's being catalogued and looked at (we have a big list).

@MTashed Rat more. It’s a different style of play. Similar vibe to tarkov solo

Just died and lost a purple backpack, purple B33, purple shield to a player crouched behind a wall as I was walking by. Was impossible to even turn and react to shooting before I died. I don't think i'll be able to enjoy Marathon solo, but trio is very fun. Very odd contrast
