Solo Glassway Grandmaster | 30 Power Under | Destiny 2 The Final Shape
Переглядів 2,1 тис.День тому
Glassway is a super fun GM, and a great challenge. I really enjoyed this one, it's one of the easiest GMs in the game given the side rooms in the boss arena. I'm cooking up a Thorn build with the Necrotic Grips class item, hopefully at higher light it'll be more possible. GMs now can be pushed to -20 instead of -25, which will make them easier in the back-end of the season/episode. I'll try som...

Hegemoney (Heh - Jeh - Moe _Knee)
I play solo aswell, I really hope they make it possible for us to keep playing without having to join a clan I would love to see roleplay, this game have everything set for it. Would be cool to have to vote a valley leader or something like that, having conflicts between settlers
Nice review. I was really excited about this game but, to be honest, was put off by the launch purchase options. Seems like Id be getting into a pay to play situation very fast, kind of what got me with Star Citizen (completely different time period, but if youve played it, I think my comparison would make sense). Im still on the fence, as its tempting, but I feel like I keep getting burned by these games that come in strong then fizzle (New World for example). For now, I suppose I'll be watching others to see if this is all gonna pan out... but thank you so much for giving such an indepth review of the systems and mechanics of the game thus far. Much appreciated!
I haven’t played Star Citzen but I know what you’ve made the comparison and it makes sense. I’m not sure how it’s going to pan out, but having played the Alpha, it was good fun doing the crafting and building, so it was worth getting at launch to see how it goes.
yeaaaa I rather have a pro player on my account. You got me fucked up bungie
I already unlocked the mission one day i'll do it
Really well done! You put very well what I've found and felt about the game. Your presentation style is "old guy"-like -- very enjoyable.
Thank you! Glad you liked it
I know I'm going to have a lot of fun just exploring the zones.
Yeah I'm excited to set off and explore some of the other areas in the map. I have no doubt I'm going to climb a mountain somewhere, look down and spot an entire city. The best thing is, I know if I go visit it'll be actual players who might greet me, not NPCs.
with games like this the only thing that i want to no the most about is the stuff i hate pvp rng and corps running hopefully there none or can be switched off and forgotten about
You don't need to engage in PvP if you don't want to. It's all limited to one zone of the world
@@AleksiJuvakka nice just like war hammer use to do i think that was the best system
Great and very fair assessment of the game - I feel the same about it. Really, really love taking my time with stuff. Current "project" is working my way towards the nice half-timber walls and the pottery kiln for bricks and tiles. Imo, gamers of the min/max kind will get tired of this game pretty fast since, well, there's not really any endgame, yet, to min/max towards ...
This is absolutely the worst game it is such complete junk it's so bad you could spend money and it still sucks and I mean lots of money. Thank God for swoleBenji .
The same SwoleBenji who's making guides for the game? The dude literally milks his audience and hates on the game while making tutorials for it😂
You wasted 50 hours of your life and will never get it back?
People like to build, and this game is the best at it. If that's not your cup of tea then the game isn't for you. Maybe don't waste your time by judging what others are doing?
100% agree with the first reply.
i believe me and my clan might me on the same server as you if you are looking for any help :) were on the same map and would love to help if we can
Do You need to actually to complete dual destiny mission first before you can farm
Would love to see more long adventures in this world, thanks for the great video✌️ 🎉
Thank you, and I'm planning more videos on Pax Dei, probably of the long adventure type.
Excellent video! I have had the same experiences and love the game. ❤
Really glad you liked it!
Great video. I share your take on the game as in no need to rush stuff. Exploration is fun! What server do you play on if you dont mind me asking. Ill definately watch the next video youll make!
Thank you!
Best steam of a game I've ever seen, and I've seen hundreds. I really love your philosophy of learning the game on your own, not trying to min/max and just enjoying the adventure. The feeling of achievement , and working for your progress is nicely expressed by you. You also have a clear, precise , pleasant voice. I will get the game because of you, thank you.
Thank you for the kind words and I'm happy if I helped in your decision to get it!
This could be a modern day ultima online if they properly balance things and continuously update. Looks like that's where they are headed. Would be cool if they implement an animal taming skill. Start by taming deer and such, and once you're high enough in the skill and can figure out how to survive against; and tame a dragon(I don't know if the game has dragons), you can go forth with your dragon pet. Not to mention taming mounts etc. Bought the game earlier, haven't played yet but looking forward to it.
I like that concept and in the roadmap they've actually mentioned 'mythical creatures' that we get to learn about later on, once they release gameplay around the lore.
@@CasualGamerYT interesting. I'll probably join the discord too so I can try to plant some seeds in the devs minds lol. I'm an avid gamer and it seems to me like what they have so far is exactly what I've been looking for.... And I've been looking for a Long time. I see the potential. Hopefully they stay true to the concept and listen to their target market rather than pandering to the masses... Many games have been ruined that way, but meanwhile if they had stayed the course, they'd get the masses anyways. Good video, cheers!
The game is getting a lot of hate that honestly kind of baffles me. It’s a niche game for sure, but at 100+ hours in, I've loved it both solo and now in a clan for many of the same reasons you mentioned. I get to (virtually) live out my fantasy life as a green witch in a cottage in the forest - what's not to love?? 😂
I think maybe some of it comes from people starting the game with a pre-conceived notion of what it is. This idea of a social sandbox survival game in a world with no quests, no obvious objective obviously appeals to a lot of players (me included) but could definitely be off putting for others.
Great video!
Thank you!
Wish you would make it easier to pass through you house since you blocked the coast
I could absolutely change my deck to include a thoroughfare (complete with a reasonable toll that needs to be paid 3 days in advance)
If you dont mind me asking, how many plots did you get too build that beautiful house ? And how many plots would you recommend ? Is 2 enough.. ? Gr8 vid, learning by playing is best way, makes it feel real
Thanks for the kind words! I started with two plots. Originally I placed my first plot way too far out on the river - I probably could have moved it back to the shore a couple of feet at least. I think two plots give you a fair amount of flexibility, especially as you can build up (like I'm doing with my industrial buildings).
oh cool we're neighbours, we lived just bellow the castle tower you featured in this video :) your house looks good that I immediately recognized it XD
Oh that is cool! Everyone in that little area has incredible properties. It'll be super interesting to see it all develop after a few months.
beautiful game , i just hate mmo
game needs a LOT of work on it before they dare charge plot subscriptions
I give this game a final review score of a Gneiss out of 10.
😂😂😂
Have been really enjoying this. Was surprised. Playing mainly solo or duo (the friend I started playing with is currently away for 4 weeks). 120 hours played. The later crafting is really a grind but it's a long term goal.
We’re having a lot of fun with it too and it’s really easy to sink a bunch of hours into! Do you have any long term goals for the game and what you want to build?
@@CasualGamerYT Good question about long term goals. Besides maxing out the crafting (that will take ages), it's probably about exploring the dungeons and caves. I'm at the level that I can take out some of the towers solo so have also crafted a couple of magic items with spells which has helped greatly. Once my friend returns we should be able to venture into the caves and dungeons to explore and tread very carefully. I've just been doing a lot of re-organisation of our crafting areas, actually setting them up properly with organised storage especially post patch since all the decorated chests need to be re-placed anyway to get the extra 5 slots. In the back of my mind is that it's all temporary as there will be a server wipe at some point (if not more than one). We should probably decide where we'd setup next time after a wipe so that we can claim plots appropriately.
Actually yeah potential wipes are something I need to keep in the back of my mind. In terms of storage, I've been alternating between having one big storage area, or placing chests in relevant areas like for blacksmithing, alchemy etc. Still haven't worked out which method I prefer.
@@CasualGamerYT Yeah, we had one big storage area but had chests either side of most crafting benches for inputs and outputs. Now in the new crafting buildings I've built the last couple of days we have rows of 4 chests, then a small floor a bit above that then 4 more chests... and then 8 more chests on the reverse side of that. Seems to be working well with the crafting benches either side of that. Space for 64 chests like that in the two crafting buildings so far. Then carpentry and blacksmithing will be outside in their own crafting areas.
How satisfying is it to have everything in its right place! 😊 That just sounds amazing.
it's a good game now, will be legendary when they deliver the promised features, but PLEASE don't cal it a survival game, because it is not!
Yeah I agree, if it can survive for a few months long enough for them to deliver the roadmap features, it should be amazing.
This game is terrible. End of. Simple as.
The game is great,but not for everyone.
LOL look at my comment I left it before I saw yours
@@Jimmy-qc5lb Witnessed.
I don't know why you keep posting comments like this on other smaller youtuber's video's on Pax Dei, but it's pathetic, don't know why it seems like your so upset nowadays and such. You begged dev's for a key, didn't get it and you raged. When I saw those video's of you acting like that I unsubbed you. I can't wait for you to move on to another game as fast as many of us moved on from your youtube page. Not trying to start nothing but get yourself in order and be more professional.
@swole Benji all I see is hate from you yet you continue to play the game and comment negatively on vids etc , are you ok dude
love the game, hate their deed payment plan.
Game is a lot of fun, hopefully they work out another monetization system because it is getting backlash.
Went from “exotic class item farming” to “how to wellskate” Thanks 🤝
Great vid! Thanks so much, bro 👊👊
Do you need to unlock the class item first? because I try 100 chest and got nothing
The apotheosis star eater roll doesnt exist for me i swear. Ive got to be at like 90+ rolls with 46 unique rolls (some dismantled so probably around 50ish). 50 unique rolls not the roll I want tho
This is also rng based. I get drops far faster on lower played characters than I do my main. My main pulls 32 minutes, my warlock pulls 21.
Great run ! Btw what is that sparrow? I never saw it before
They’re called skimmers! They came out with guardian games last year
Isnt if just fater to drive around in a sparrow?
A minor but pleasant speed add is to get the "always amplified in Paleheart" -perk...
Well… now that the bug is patched, time to run chests
The problem is i have done this over and over. It takes 1-1 1/2 hours for 1 drop.
By any chance will u be looking into a hunter prismatic builds that have celestial night hawk, the exotic cloak or orpheus and r not just boring old combination blow everyone else is doing?
I still use combo blow with it, but it’s a grapple build: Spirit of inmost light & synthoceps, one-two punch shotgun, void super. Have you seen the crazy things people are doing with the Navigator on hunter? Now you don’t need navigator, and you have your grapple every 5 seconds if you’re using combo blow with it. Dodge, punch, shotgun, grapple melee. 2 million damage if everything lines up.
@@aaryntip5989 I have seen that and do plan to make it for farming stuff. It does look good.
Yep, working on some unique builds as well - some really cool combinations with class items that are far from the norm but still super effective.
Double drops patched!
Could you do something similar for ergo sum? And those ciphers from Xur/Rahool sound interesting too!
I'll take a look, I think the fastest method would be just matchmade Overthrow.
why would an older ghost shell work better for the wombo detector?
75m range instead of the 50m range which is what it is the max now
Can I still get exotic class item drops from chest even if I haven’t done the Dual Destiny mission?
No
Average DD time 14 mins hahaha... Not for most players. But solid info regardless
How do I reset the chests?? Do I just wait?
Fast travel back to The Landing, it'll reset the zone.
@@CasualGamerYT thank you 😃
Thanks for all your work dude
I have opened hundreds of these by now not a single class item has dropped
If you haven't already you need to complete Dual Destiny first.
@@jayrock2978 I did multiple times RNG just hates me at this point I just wait for a friend to get on during my weekends to run the dual destiny mission because that’s faster
Just to be clear, you have to unlock it by completing that Dual mission, right?
Yeah, gotta clear it at least once.
