to somewhat defend Bungie, you can’t own an art style. The person whose work Bungie ripped off has a case for the specific assets that are clearly her (I think the artist was a woman?) work. However assets that are inspired by her work but aren’t exactly her work is completely fair.

But that actually makes Bungies situation even worse because they don’t even know how many artists they might’ve ripped off. Could be just this one, could be five, could be a dozen. They don’t know. IMO serves them right because they clearly don’t learn from their mistakes.

I’ve had a similar response.I was kinda ready to accept the new price but then they started pushing an even higher price so I got an opposite reaction where stars would have to align for me to care about any game over 60 and even 60 is pushing my willingness to pay.

Them: “we don’t set the price”.

You: “I’ll buy it if you set a lower price”.

So people don’t even read the headlines anymore?

I need to do another vertical factory playthrough. That playthrough was a bit of a blueprint headache because no vertical splitters. Imagine a 5x5 grid (7x7 would’ve made it easier but IMO we unlock it way too late in the game for it to be useful in that playthrough) getting 4 inputs coming up from the bottom, rotating them to become horizontal, then splitting them so half of the 4 inputs could go into the manufacturer and the other half positioned in a way that when they get rotated back into vertical their output would align with the input. It was a mess, I nearly gave up.

And when you got the blueprint ready it was really annoying to connect the blueprints so hopefully the auto-connect solves the other issue I had with vertical builds.

I was coming here to mention Dark Souls. It’s an excellent example of how to make a tutorial not feel like a tutorial. Either you take the time to understand what the game is telling you or not, up to you. Don’t care about going through the entire tutorial area? Just beat the boss and start the real adventure.

I haven’t read the new TOS but if this review is correct it looks like a GDPR nightmare for them. Good luck to them explaining why they need to collect all that personal data.

You can skip some fights by running past enemies, but if you’re struggling with combat the best solution is to take some time to optimize your builds. The game incentivizes glass cannon builds where you generally kill mobs before they can even attack. If they can’t attack you don’t have to worry about dodging/partying. I won’t give any actual builds, those take too much effort and IMO it’s more fun to figure them out yourself. But I will give some tips to make combat easier.

If you have defensive pictos/lumina equipped swap them for damage or AP.

Don’t be scared to use color of lumina (for more lumina points) as you can get hundreds of them throughout the game. Trust me, having more lumina equipped will absolutely make the game easier

Also don’t be scared to use recoats to respec your characters, you can get plenty of recoats. Try out different skills as some of them are more useful than others.

If you’re struggling to strike first in combat equip first strike lumina on all characters. That lumina pretty much becomes mandatory in late game as even with all the speed modifiers stacked you still might not start first.

Also invest points into agility. Agility is the main stat for speed and speed dictates how often you can attack.
