First things first, congrats to both Redwing Girl and yourself for being invited to the reveal. It's an awesome honor, and you guys deserve it for the time you have put into this podcast. So enjoy yourselves 😎👍 Now then, to a few noteworthy topics: 1) the extra relic was added to the Gatekeeper encounter because they started the time for blindness to begin as soon as you enter the portal, and it overtakes you quicker than before. That's why it's there, and it's no other reason why. 2) I hate the idea of proximity chat. As someone who has played ESO, which has prox chat, I can assure you it is by far one of the most annoying things I have ever had to deal with. Unless I either entered my own private chat or muted my volume on my television, I could literally not hear myself think when within a major hub area, especially with all the random yelling people tend to do within such a feature, or the obnoxious music blasting...... 3) Is trials to blame for what has become of this game? Short answer is yes. While similar balance changes could have occurred from regular crucible, the fact that trials brings specific loadouts and setups to the forefront, which then everyone tends to gravitates towards, which then causes these nerfs we are dealing with because Bungie does not know how to balance things without swinging the nerf bat to everything. The concept of meta is what has been an issue, and there is really only one game mode that a meta would be a thing: Trials. So other than the early nerfs pre trials, I can blame a lot of our weapons and abilities systematic demise on this one 3v3 game mode. Do I feel it needs to be removed? No. Reworked yes, so it does not have an impact to destroy the game link it has in D1, and if the white weapon thing will do it, than so be it. I'll post more later. Time to go to sleep😴💤💤💤
