This.

The switch to a competitive 4 man team for regular crucible, I think, shows they have all the intent in the world to take good care of the PvP populace.

You take the blue paarp - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red paarp - you stay in pre-alpha, and I show you how deep the sperg wallet goes.

The matchmaking was the same strong sbmm for all modes and I had unbrokens and poo poo, there's absolutely no way that carries over to the full game.

I has been recently playing Fortnite, that have teams of 4. And is super ackward to be the 5th guy in a team. You feel like because of your presence, somebody else is going to be left out.

So you join a team of 4 friends and take the 4th slot, then a friend return. And is like you are in the wrong chair in a movie theater and somebody comes with the ticket.

Why are you doing this to me, Bungie?

If they bring back the old style of Halo match making ranks I will never stop playing this game to climb to 50.

This is basically what guardian.gg and friends do, but the base game won't because lots of people don't like a performance stat that stalls out halfway to the max and goes down when you have a bad night.

I could look this up myself but I wanted someone to get mad at me and call me mean names for not doing it on my own.

Is the FOV slider thing going to be PC only or PC/PS4 Pro or will it be supported in generic poor loser PS4 too.

I didn't get a chance to play the PS4 beta, is the FOV still zoomed all the way the gently caress in or did it get relaxed a bit since no PS3 nonsense this time around. If I can't FOV slide that is fine so long as they pulled back a bit since the game no longer has to support dead console generation anymore.

I like the idea behind the Adventures. Seems like something they could add more of somewhat easily since they use the existing patrol areas. Some of the most fun I had with Destiny 1 was relaxing after work by doing some bounties and running around in patrol shooting aliens, so more patrol stuff sounds like fun to me.

I too was a patrolman.

Few games provide a nice feedback loop like Destiny does. It helps that the game is so fun to actually play, so just shooting guys is plenty of entertainment. After a while I would just throw on a podcast, have a beer and chill out with Destiny.

I hope enough people complain about having no lore that they bring the grimoire back in some form for the next expansion.

Or they put a kiosk in the social areas and you can browse destinywiki, an in game web browser that has a page for everything in the game. Literally two or three guardians crowding around trying to figure out the latest story lines!

As supplement and not the main source of story, why not? It's a lot of fun for a lot of people, hurts nothing, is more to do in-game.

The Adventures are meant to replace the lorebuilding of the grimoire but from what I've seen of those I'm not hopeful at all. A codex in game would be nice.

Yeah, I meant only as a complement. I get that we're getting more story in-game and that's really good, but I still want to read all the cool flash fiction that was the grimoire. The books of sorrow were specially cool and there is no other way of getting that in a game than in text form. Like that dude said, just put some lore stations where you can read it.

I'm tempted to join. I'm in the Big Dum Space Mans clan but if you need to switch regions to play with NA folk would Europe players be better off with their own clan?
