Well I just had a cool thought: since our characters are getting carried forward in Destiny 2 they can carry forward our SBMM placement :discourse:

Wait, didn't Bungie say that we're NOT getting our characters in D2? Or is that :thejoke:?

Yes.

That character you made the first day and never saw again because you turned helmet Always On? That's all you get.

A number of times I've replayed select story missions, the treat being getting to see your Guardian at intervals (predominantly Vanilla and ROI). Idk, I swap shaders, weapons, etc then get to see how I look in motion. It's fun and I'm surprised more people don't do it. I come across so many comments like this, about never seeing your Guardian or having any connection to them, yet I very much do.

I like seeing my armor and ship and stuff in cutscenes but I relate to those more than the character underneath who hasn't even had dialogue since vanilla

I made my first character look like my wife and i got pretty close, the hair is off by a mile but whatever. She's a loving bad rear end that fucks everyone up the rear end in PvP and ive had her from the start.

The other 2 goons, i have no idea what they even look like.

I feel the man makes the clothes in this situation, as it were, but really I agree with you. That I have to actively seek out such interactions is no bueno and I understand any and all gripes.

It's hard for me to have any connection to my characters when none of them even remotely resemble me. If they at least added facial hair options (preferably a goatee) I would have something to work with...

Smurf accounts were a "thing" last summer too shortly before RoI.

If I really cared about it that much I'd queue into matchmaking solo and rubber band my controller overnight.

No one really knows how Bungie's skill ranking works for sure but it was easy to confirm you can sacrifice your SBMM rating in SRL.. you win a bunch of races and get matched against people even or slightly better than you. Intentionally get 6th place in 2-3 races and you'd drop down and get easier competition. It was the only way for me to finish some of the bullshit bounties in the first SRL.

So get curbstomped in a playlist of your choice and there's no reason to think that it won't have an effect there too.

Got a Deposition VII from New Monarchy and this thing is a sneaky good sniper.

Slightly faster fire rate thsn ldr/1000ys. Good damage. Can rez snipe.

Hugh range (80 with HF) and good aim assist (62). It has low stability but its recoil direction is 80 so it only recoils up in a very manageable way.

Mine got SLH20. Snapshot. Hammer forged and Take a Knee.

Take a Knee seems bugged though. Doesn't slways proc. Kinda weird.
