Dang that's a lot I'll pick it up when the price drops at some point! Also when I turned it on today to see if it needed to download any patches before I played it this weekend it started downloading 30GBs :saddowns:

I don't have House of Wolves or Dark Below and the wiki said they're not for sale anymore but I need them for The Taken King, are they included with it now then? I don't play much Destiny but it's the only game I play online with a pal and we play every now and then.
If you already have destiny base game, taken king is $19.99 on the PSN store (i assume xbox one too) and it includes dark below & house of wolves

Ah that sounds much more like it! Thanks!

e: What happens if I have the Taken King expansion and my pal does not? Can we still play together?

Wait, can you progress punch/grenade/super kills, TLW chaperone %, and/or 6+ weapon kill rounds for the mountain top quest line in private matches?

A Buff Gay Dude posted:

Definately shaxxfall stuff. Would need a scrub who hasn't done all the other stuff to weigh in to confirm.

Scrub PSA: last night I was able to complete the first step of the Chaperone quest line in private matches. If the other team drops out of your fireteam after you get a kill it ends the round and you get 3-4% completion. A full cycle from start of round to returning to orbit/rejoining fireteam can be about 2 minutes.

Shaxxfall bounties work (for now?). Couldn't progress any other PvP quest line (subclass melee kills, 6+ hand cannon kills in a round pre-Mountaintop). Not sure if the Imprecation head shots can be completed in private.

This is one of these scenarios you only find in science books but never in real life. Like that cat in the box with poison.

I am sorry but I don't know what would happen, or can make theories about what can happen. Is possible that the game will not let the activity to start, or not let the not-having person to join.
But the data is already on the disc even if you have not bought the expansion.

If a player doesn't have TTK they can still play with anyone in Y1 content but not in any TTK-exclusive activities. So nothing set on the Dreadnaught, no Y2 strikes (including the heroic and nightfall playlists), none of the new missions, etc.

Okay so then I will wait until he has it too before buying TTK myself. I assume it's fine to purchase TTK after playing through a lot of the base game content?

you don't have to be "pvp obsessed" to have amazing fun with private matches. Get some buddies and make up stupid rules. NLB only, melee only, whatever. Christ its like you people are allergic to having fun with friends.

People should probably consolidate ps4 clans because there was more than 1 since the start and now they're all partial and unfilled.

Yeah private matches in Destiny don't let you do much except pick who you are playing against which is fine and I'm glad they added it but I dunno id rather just play regular PVP with my pals :shrug:

Well keep in mind they bolted this feature onto a two year old code base.

I expect that the Destiny 2 branch has a lot of fresh engineering dumped into it and will have better support for any new features they've been working on.

Private matches in Destiny can have whatever rules you want you just need to be capable of having a discussion with your bros about what the rules are and be the type of person who isn't going to to be a dick about them.

We quickly settled on a modified sweat rule for heavy in 3s where you can pull it and then once the other team has been wiped you put it away and never use it again.

I spent an entire 10 kill streak in skirmish with 40 thunderlord rounds sitting in my stash unused because I'm not a prick.

Private matches are like going to sports practice (but obvs a cool sport like American football or rugby or basketball) and getting sweaty and flexing and talking poo poo on your bros but in the end everyone is on the same team, I just wish we could all shower together afterwards.
