Good Hunter, what... what is this post?

Fuzzy Mammal posted:

Is there a guide explaining how itemization works in the game? All I can find are clickbaity junk articles that only have info from the beta anyways.

Explaining weapon perks vs mods, how multiple copies of the same weapon with different power levels but equal impact/etc differ, what holds over in pvp, infusing, just listing them all out even, etc etc.

perks are intrinsic to the weapon, mods are something you collect and apply to them

impact is the base damage of the gun, balanced against rate of fire usually. the light level is the rpg level, kind of a modifier. So using a weapon with low light against high level enemies will do less damage than using the same weapon but now with high light. If you get the same weapon but higher light you might as well replace it.

pvp ignores light level (except for some modes like trials) and just goes off the base stats.

infusion- take a legendary/exotic gear with higher light and put it's light into another piece (same slot, like boots to boots or kinetic gun to kinetic) with lower light. Destroys the higher light piece, lower light piece now has the higher light value. Useful for when you get a really nice weapon or whatever that you want to keep, but isn't high enough light.

Is this your typical MMO launch situation where login servers are busted and you have to sit there mashing start to actually get in? My console keeps showing "loading" for a split second, flashing back to the home screen, and then loading again ad infinitum.

There is a queue, but I think it's mostly for the initial connection to servers. Once you get in the game is glassy smooth.

It's an actual queue though. What you're describing sounds more like a local problem because there's no need to mash any buttons to get in. You press a button once and wait until the queue lets you in.

Played for a bit (4 hrs :v:) last night and game is fun, although, maybe just me but I find it doesn't feel quite as good on controller as D1 did?

Also definitely had some goofy matchmaking games - hopefully things will settle once the sweaty kids get their Elos or whatever the gently caress back into the stratosphere.

I like the new 4v4 Elimination With More Lives mode on the Competitive playlist.

I stopped after four crucible games (2 for 4 at level 3 against level 10s and 1.5 k/d avg isn't bad after all :v:), how many games do you need to play for Shaxx's weekly challenge thing?

Does armor level or resilience level actually matter now? At my low level I could barely do damage with my punches, and my magnetic grenade couldn't even kill when stuck.

Yeah shoulder charge is poo poo now.

Unsure if they unfucked it.

This is over a LAN (powerline adapter, but still). It's really loving annoying though, since this was really the only evening I was going to be able to play until the 18th.

I wish it was like every other PS4 game and could update while the system is in sleep mode, but no they need to be special snowflakes and post updates via their own servers. PS4s download noticeably faster while in sleep.

I've been playing on XB1, the campaign so far is very enjoyable (I just got to Titan), haven't seen any frame rate issues. However, the pvp multiplayer does not work at all - just never finds any other players. not sure if that's platform specific or what

Come now, there must be a great utility to being able to sidestep at the speed of normal movement while also disabling your attacks rather than, say, just moving sideways.

If you bought it on disc the game also needs to install ~30 GB off the disc as well. You can launch the game to check install progress.
