I wish I still had the capture of that streamer running full 6 stack for IB when we matched them at the exact moment a bunch of my buddies were (unbeknownst to me) randomly in the streamer's twitch feed trolling him.

Xzzy and I went wild on the dude and bone krew dunked on his stomp streak, and there was much hootin and hollerin during and then after lmao

i think he's referring to a dumb hoax that some redditors fell for, where someone posted that bungie was going to release one final D1 mission with new assets (red legion, etc)

Ive watched some destiny streams lately and there are some people who really seem to think they're good at destiny, and I feel like its mostly because there are other good people on the streamers nuts usually

idk I really like the idea of streaming for my friends or something, but past that, there seems like a lot of sad people streaming

all the streamers I've faced solo are pretty garbage without their full stack to watch their flanks when sniping or to funnel people into their proper engagement distance

What's the content of D2 vs. D1 + all the DLC's? I saw someone say that Destiny 2 has more content than 1 + all the DLCs, but I'm not sure if they were bullshitting or not

No comparison. D2 appears to be about identical to Vanilla.

D2 should be a lot more sustainable than D1 was at launch at the very least. That game was very threadbare in its 1.0 incarnation.

Since this is an online game, if the place I ordered it from has dispatched it and it arrives tomorrow before the release on Wednesday, will I be able to play it or will it all just go online when it officially releases?

That's a good point. From the sound of things, the List of Activities is similar (number of missions, strikes, etc) but the progression system is smarter and there is more reason to keep doing the things.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

There are three studios making Destiny content now: Bungie, Vicarious Visions, and High Moon Studios, all because Activision wasn't happy with how slow content was getting out into Destiny 1. Whether having three studios making strikes or whatever will actually show results is yet to be seen.

I bought vanilla Destiny and sunk a good 30-50 hours into it. Then, I bought the DLC's and played them for just a few hours :shrug:. So, I feel like I'm gonna be missing out on a lot from my terrible spending habits in buying all that DLC and not playing it.

Destiny 2 servers go live midnight Wednesday New Zealand time. If you have a physical copy after that you can play.

Stores aren't supposed to sell copies until midnight or 11pm their country's time and digital copies are blocked from launching until midnight their country's time, but if you got lucky with a phys copy before then, go nuts!

Neat, I'm in the UK and Amazon has said it's dispatched it already. I've never gotten a game early from them but loads of my coworkers have in the past so hopefully I get lucky this time.

I'm in the UK and simplygames say they dispatched my copy first thing this morning. So if I'm reading this right, and our copies turn up tomorrow, we can start playing at noon?

I mean yeah this is true but you eventually get EXTREMELY good at playing with a squad that isn't tactically retarded.

When I was playing with bone krew and saw someone like wrecks at point X, I knew what he was doing and that he wouldn't push too far forward and if he went down that meant big trouble.

When you play solo you can't make those kind of judgments

Yeah, pretty sure Bungie has never region locked their servers. They just rely on PSN, Live, and retailers not letting people have access to the game until midnight.

Keep in mind that whenever you get your physical copy you still have to download a 6gb Day 1 patch before you can start playing.

There are a few very good players out there that are on some other level that makes it look like they are playing a different game. But yeah, mostly it's all stack skill.

Another advantage of the digital preorder. My game has been updating several times since the preload started.

3v3 burning shrine its advantageous to run the the map with a 2:1 split if you have inside spawn since 99% of time outside spawn camps against the sun. We split outside as well but my team decided to wipe inside. That lone titan just took too long to wrap around through outside cap.

Labor weekend most likely. Bungie probably doesn't want to launch a game right after a holiday weekend.
