God Rolls - Destiny Buffs, Outriders Problems And Cyberpunk Patches
Good to be back in full, and May is about to be wild
Alright, time to do a recap of my week of writing when I was half on vacation, but I’ve been back a few days now and have managed to get a few videos out finally too. I’m fully vaccinated (with zero side effects?) and feeling great, so let’s dive in.
What I’m Playing: I did a tiny bit of grinding to get a Subsistence Extraordinary Rendition which did not take very long. I went back to Outriders and got my Devastator to finally get level 50 gear, at long last, but the game is still having lots of issues.
What I’m Watching: I just finished watching The Serpent on Netflix, the serial killer drama that was just okay. I’m watching Mare of Eastown on HBO which is good so far. The Invincible season finale was flippin nuts.
Alright, sub to the newsletter if you haven’t.
Here’s the breakdown:
Destiny
I’ve Spent Hundreds In Destiny 2’s Eververse, But I’m Not Paying For A Transmog Timegate - My latest screed about transmog in Destiny and no changes have been announced ahead of this coming season, so the cap appears to be staying.
What To Farm With Destiny 2’s New Season Weapon Buffs On The Way - This week Bungie announced some buffs to certain weapon types, so there are a few things you can farm ahead of that before the season ends to be ready.
The Solution To ‘Destiny 2’ Strike Playlist Boredom Seems Obvious - The strike playlist is boring so this seems like a solid way to spice things up and use underutilized content already in the game.
Other Games
The Single Bug That’s Sinking Outriders - It’s been a month and Outriders still cannot restore people’s lost gear. It’s only one bug, but it has decimated the player population.
‘Marvel’s Avengers’ Fans Excited As ‘Marvel Heroes’ Developer Joins Crystal Dynamics - Avengers fans finally have some call for good news as a developer from the beloved Marvel Heroes is joining CD to try and help turn things around.
‘The Last Of Us Part 3’ Has An Outline, But There’s No Guarantee It’ll Get Made - The Last of Us already has an outline written up for a third game, but Naughty Dog must now make a tough decision about whether or not they actually go through with it.
The Answer To The Question ‘Should I Play Cyberpunk 2077 Yet?’ - I get this question all the time so I decided to go through the four different answers I would give, depending on your platform.
YouTube
Back making videos, so here are a few I did this week. Starting with the growing problem I see with Bungie and the DCV:
Then, a look at the new Outriders patch, which doesn’t seem to have done a ton:
I tried something new and did a live readthrough of the VoG and weapon buffs TWAB this week along with my reactions as I go:
Finally, this was the video I delayed making for a week because of my trip. TRANSMOG:
I missed Evie a lot on my trip, and it has been great to get her back! Here she is inspecting my wife’s birthday cake with her likeness. Less than amused:
See you guys soon, lots to cover this coming week. Oh, and before I go, here’s a cool new logo that Moira/Everdrift/DestinytheMeme made for God Rolls which will show up in a few places around here:
Fire!
Nice one Paul ~ Love Evie cuteness
Great issue of God Rolls. I like the strike list suggestions. I don’t see Bungie making the required changes to the end rewards of each strike, battleground etc though. Seems like a balancing nightmare. Plus the number of people that would complain about the f2p people getting things that we all paid for.
I am thankful for your videos and tweets about Outriders. I played the beta and I liked it. I was going to buy it not that long ago, but when I read your article about all the gear disappearing I decided to wait. Thank you.
