Destiny Gets Patched

    Doom: I can live with Venus in a sci-fi, but the guy was asking about adding more planets to the game and I (as a regular National Geograpic watcher) responded with a realistic answer.

    When Bungie wants to place a map on the sun, it's fine by me.

    Parallax Demon said:Venus?

    The first time NASA send a probe to Venus, they lost contact within 10 minutes. Reason; it just evaporated.

    The complete surface of Venus is made out of magma. See how long any humanoid survive in the middle of an active vulcano.

    And yes: Titan or Europe would be your best bets.
    Maybe in real life/current time, but in Destiny didn't the Traveler change the planets into what we see in game? The more landscapes the better. But honestly, I would be happy with seeing other landscapes on the planets already available to us. Russia of course isn't all of the Earth and I'm sure Venus has something that isn't a jungle ecosystem.

    I'm sure we'll see more moons and planets with future expansions. Maybe another outpost or another enemy stronghold on Neptune or Uranus.

    Apparently, Bungie closed the comments on the official update article since too many people were bitching about what a joke the update and the game itself is.
    100% Onyx MAX on Halo: Reach 6/19/2012: 240+ DAYS playtime, 16000 rounds survived (double max Perfectionist), 1.5 million FF kills.

    Does the update make the game good?

    The missions I don't understand why they were patched but the raid needs further patching. However, this game is awesome for the time being.

    Well, if there's no majors at all then that'll make those one bounties take longer than they should. :/

    Can't Space Jesus just make us some more Earth-sized rocky planets ? wink

    Actually, if you think about it, Pluto didn't lose its planet status because it was the only celestial body of its size, quite the opposite, actually. Astronomers are just too lazy to update the planet list with all the lifeless rocks in funky orbits they have been finding, but why let that stop us ? The Darkness don't need no stinkin' sunlight, so lets get to killin' out there.

    Dwarf planets to the rescue !! Ceres or Bust !

    Tried it for 30-45 minutes before abandoning it forever.

    Just play Level 24 Strikes with a good team.
    Earn engrams at a much faster rate that way.
    I'm glad I'm not the only person that realizes that. My guess is the kids that camp at the cave are current or former WoW players that are brainwashed into farming junk all day.

    If you look at the Grimiore Card page on the Bungie website for places you've visited you'll see cards for both Mercury (hopefully with a trading post) and Saturn (possibly suitable for farming stuff).

    Bits in brackets have nothing to do with Bungie btw.

    Logically therefore they should be the next planets we get to visit.

    Don't mind at all waiting a couple of months for new planets if it's regular.

    Those missions weren't even difficult to begin with. At the same time, they were heroic which means you had best be prepared for enemy majors cropping up in the first place.

    I'm certain they were fucking with other stuff that isn't listed though. The defender titan I'm getting up for the Titan Mastery achievement suddenly feels extremely squishy, and my buddy who has a titan primary felt the same way about it when we were doing the queen hit list missions. He was getting his ass reamed by the enemies and my hunter was tanking extraordinary damage all of a sudden, so Bungie had to be fucking around under the hood again. They can screw with PvP balance all they want, but there is no such thing as an overpowered setup in PvE.

    At any rate, why aren't they fixing any actual problems or adding stuff that should have been there from the get-go? E.G., the Vault of Glass not giving anybody any rewards, or PvP doling out equipment entirely on a random number generator instead of by performance? How about adding the clan system in the game so I don't have to direct someone to Bungie.net? What about a map on the screen when I hit Back button?

    Perhaps fixing all the arbitrary network errors everyone keeps having with the game, which are completely unique to Destiny for reasons unknown. I get an entire farmyard of errors several times an hour, and marionberry at minimum twice a day which requires an Xbox restart to fix regardless of Xbox party chat and the online services for everything else still working fine (Netflix, multiplayer in other games, etc.)

    I'd really like some extra bounty space as well. I have three exotic weapon bounties I'm pretty much stuck on so I can only do new bounties a pair at a time.

    Venus's surface is a dry desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and periodically refreshed by volcanism.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus

    Sorry you're also wrong about the probes.

    Venera 3 crash landed on the surface of the planet but failed to transmit any data back.

    Venera 4 was the first to enter and transmit back any data of a planet in our solar system (other than our own). However they miscalculated the rate of decent and the probe stopped transmitting data after descending for 93 minutes. It is however believed that it may not have withstood the surface pressures needed to continue the mission.

    Venera 5 & 6 were never built to withstand more than 25 bar pressure and were crushed during their descent.

    But those are all Russian probes, which were the first to explore the planet directly.

    If you want NASA's first missions:
    *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***


    The thought is that the run away greenhouse effect (95% CO2) is what contributes to the high atmospheric pressure. So we can take that and add a little sci-fi terraforming and you now resolve the issue of high pressure and high surface temperature.

    Anyways, the initial probes did not melt, as you implied and the surface is not a magma ocean.

    But Terraforming as a sci-fi mechanic, which I believe is heavily implied when you visit these planets, does sort of allow the idea of humans on Venus.

    Because that would require actual work....and admitting they fucked up? They've literally made all the mistakes from Reach on this PLUS unbalancing multiplayer to extremes. All the limitations and lack of features makes it sound more like an F2P piece of shit than an actual retail game.

    Everybody thinks every class other than their own is OP.

    The only thing they should do is lower the damage reduction when the Hunter is bladewalking a little.

    I'm level 25. Probably had 20 Legendary engrams all decrypt to Rare or Uncommon gear. How bout changing that Bungie? I've not had one Legendary pick up. I've had to buy the only Legendary gear I've got. RNG system is just not cool. I can go 30 and 5 in Crucible, yet scrub going negative 3 gets rewarded big time and I get zelch. Tired of games catering to noobs.
