New ward of dawn is basically the relic from vog, so you gotta sit there doing nothing and hold down a button to have it out. It's not an alternate mode.

defender has a perk that lets you drop a ward instead of using captain america, yes it is. i guess depending on how you interpret it you could think you had to hold it the whole time but 'when you cast your super, you can press and hold the super activation and you’ll place a Ward of Dawn instead' makes it sound like it's just a thing you do instead of pulling the shield out.

Seriously, I love people saying D2 isn't different enough. Like, if you want something so drastically different, play a different loving game???? Why does Destiny need to stop existing so you can play a different game? Ffs.

Some alternate or mixed in new reload animations would be nice. Maybe some PvE ship combat.

I like to titan skate before landing from a mancannon jump because if you hit a wall you just flop over dead and I want to distract the enemy, like how crack operatives will take off all their clothes and prance around with a celery stalk in their rear end

We have some different tools at our disposal for Destiny 2 because of the way we’ve built the weapons. We’re actually going to be able to do some different types of modifications to weapons, where in Destiny 1 we largely modified whole archetypes in large balance patches. Let’s say Clever Dragon, the high rate-of-fire pulse rifle, is really powerful in the current meta, we’re going to hit all high rate-of-fire pulse rifles. In Destiny 2, if we have a weapon that is a specific infractor, we’ll have the ability to go in and just touch that.

Thank gently caress.

At this point I recommend wiki'ing the deep lore of the most recent content expansions and just wait for the sequel. Game's dead yo.

Guarantee it's just a pool of revives you can use until they're gone.

So instead of the first person dying causing a wipe, it's the third. :downs:

A handful of revives would be awesome for the random killed by the architects and other random bullshit deaths. It won't help a bad team very much but makes the process for a good team alot less painful.

exactly that. if you have, example given, 3 deaths in an encounter your team blows and deserves the wipe.

To give more information:

What if the same dude is the one that burn 5 allocated deads?


Dead is not bad. We have this game, "Counter-Strike" build around "IF you hosed up and died, now you wait in the spectator screen watching how is played by people with better skills than you".

The net effect is going to be the same. They will scale up the difficulty of a D2 raid to basically guarantee someone dies because if there's no chance of a wipe, there's no challenge.

Every MMO that has implemented raids has had to deal with this issue and they've all ended up at the same conclusion.

Thank loving God, that was the dumbest poo poo ever. Having to fight extra hard for 30 seconds and flex positions on the fly when someone dies is fun. Having to wipe because welp someone's dead is not fun.

D2 raids are not going to be a significant departure from how they work in D1. The encounters will still be riddled with wipe events for dancing wrong so stupid poo poo "3+ death" teams aren't going to progress.

Now, in the quantum moment

when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.


yo speaking of dumb bad raids, did anything ever come from this so-called Secret Room that's after Golgoroth with the runes? Has anyone been in and hosed with it to any effect?

It's obviously something you can do poo poo with, but like I can't find anyone 'doing anything' successfully with it
