They could do with some crunch to actually release something which isn't a stripped down version of a previous iteration in the series...

God forbid people who like PvP more than PvE get any path to progression. Imagine the horror.
How is it ridiculous? Bungie is on the West Coast. They work a standard work day plus some odds hours on both ends for crunch, sure, at PST times. Asking them to completely screw up sleep schedules to "rotate outage windows for fairness" is pretty absurd.
Yall critique the game all you want, but encouraging crunch culture is disgusting.

Like I said, they require PVP for one of the milestones. Dont be bitter that those of us who dont like PVP match into PVP games without a care and lower the quality.

A Monarch elected by the Consensus, but only after the Consensus agree to disband. Basically, the new monarchy would have the support of all three factions and the Vanguard. It's not ideal, but it's not a decision they make alone.
If the Consensus decide not to disband, there is no change. Their motto is, "Together we will rise" and I think the keyword there is together.

I'm not bitter in the slightest. I'm pointing out how silly that specific comment is. Play what you want, however you want. Put as much effort, small or great, as you'd like. Doesn't bother me one bit.
Regardless, it's silly to say that a path of progression should be removed from PvP because you don't like PvP. It's less silly to be bothered by someone on your team intentionally playing poorly.
Yeah you need play another game dude..D2 isnt for you

Who's intentionally playing poorly?
Actually makes Call to Arms seem possible now. I can grind out 4 matches a week. Good change.
Haha this.
amazing
I'll now go from playing zero matches of PVP per week to four matches. Definitely a good change.

Definitely get into the DestinyGAF discord and try there as well. Theres an Xbox LFG channel with about 30 or so people usually , we have been setting up some raids through there.
Discord info is in the first post of the OT.
Woah. Are you really so mad about a video game that you want to insist that a few hundred people work 100 hour weeks for months on end for shitty pay, so that you can have more fun? It might be time to go outside.
Any PS4 raid help tonight would be greatly appreciated. Had to cycle through a few fireteams and help them in sections I already completed before finally reaching Calus, I dont wanna miss anything before the reset.
Also, I think we missed the chest on the tower relay section? The elevator took us down and we heard a chest go off ...

Agree, too much hostility at the moment.

This is one of their core tenets. You can't have New Monarchy lead without appointing a Sovereign. And history has shown that the most powerful guardians historically, are not incapable of corruption. There have been several who have done shady crap or straight up been turned by The Darkness. An unimpeachable sovereign is always a bad idea.

Talk about being sensitive.
Someone said they don't do crunch, I make a comment that maybe they should due to shipping the game with a lack of content in comparison to what we left in D1.
Not mad at all, it would be nice to have some of the things that they changed and learned from in D1, that's all.
The sky is seriously falling.
I quite enjoy it actually, just like I played D1 from day 1. Nothing wrong with looking for improvements.
I go outside plenty thanks.
I leave my family for 6 months of the year for work too. It's a choice, just like long hours near release time happen whether we like it or not.

do mods like arc abilities charge faster stack?

"Playing without a care" implies not playing to the best of your ability. And the post you originally commented to with your suggestion of removing the milestone, was about people "sleeping through Call to Arms," which is also a comment on not trying.
Not playing to the best of your ability is, inherently, intentionally playing poorly. If a player isn't great, that's rough but understandable. If you simply just don't want to try because you don't like it, well that's making a choice that negatively impacts your team. Which isn't understandable. So it shouldn't be a mystery as to why the latter bothers some people.
They do but there is a diminishing return on them. Still pretty useful to stack them.

what do you mean by diminishing return?

Unimpeachable character refers to someone that is honest, trustworthy and dependable, not someone that cannot be removed from power. Someone that is chosen by the leaders of the factions and vanguard.

Comparing a launch title against 3 year's worth of content for the previous game?
You're insane.
They have no reason or need to do crunch.

What's wrong with that?
I'm not saying they should have 3 years of content.
I'm saying they should have learned from the lack of content in the initial release (which they in fairness, kinda had a reason for) and improved second time around, while implementing some of the QoL changes they made in D1 rather than taking backwards steps in many areas.
Having an opinion doesn't make you entitled. I'm going to comment on their incompetence every time it happens. I don't have the patience for it.
If it doesn't inconvenience you, that's great. You don't have a reason to even discuss it then.

Seriously, anyone who says someone could do some crunch needs to literally STOP. STOP STOP STOP. That is being very ignorant and quite honestly disrespectful.
I didn't say whether it inconveniences me or not because that is not the issue. The issue is people that say negative things about Bungie/devs because of a maintenance and that try to defend it. Also saying stuff like crunch is needed. All of that is extremely negative and there is no place for that here.
Also, you're wrong. Comments like the game should be up 24-7 and I paid such and such, or that they need to crunch or swap hours, etc., that's entitled as entitled can get.

I'm not entirely sure on the numbers but say if one mod reduces the cooldown by 10%, the next one will reduce it by 5%.

And I addressed that when I mentioned that there is no one who has unimpeachable character.
That they title the leader as Sovereign is what implies that the person they appoint is unimpeachable in their role.
Edit: And the Sovereign is chosen by the Consensus and then the Consensus is abolished... so there is no election after the fact. Guardians live forever unless their light is taken, so with no election process post initial appointment, there's not even a system of lineage that gets applied. The Sovereign is the Sovereign pretty much forever unless they get taken out like The Speaker.

Had an amazing moment where I single handedly took out all four members of a Trials team with some lucky blinks and the Last Hope. Laughed my ass off!
Also, Sword + Blink = Real Ninja Bullshit lol
