I'm surprised at how meat the adventures are, they are almost mission in their own rights and way better than patrols.

Yeah, did you see the giant hive worm that swims by the windows in the Titan mission? Makes you wonder if it came out of Oryx's corpse, but it probably isn't directly related to him or Crota.

20 minutes into the game there was a small period of time where other players were playing with me. Now I just got to the second planet and got the shard and I haven't seen other players in my game since. Is that because of server problems?

Edit: The game just revealed co-op and PVP to me.

Good Hunter, what... what is this post?
Just beat the story. Pretty good. Kind of thought (final boss stuff) that Gary would pull an Oryx and be the raid boss too but doesn't look like it. Also the consul dude and the speaker just biting it in a cutscene is wack and uh, post credits cutscene its those black pyramid things from the first game's concept art! Pyramid-head reapers!

The cuboid aru blue kinetic auto rifle is a beast, just a workhorse. Haven't tried it in pvp though.

arcstrider's melee-->dodge->repeat loops is super fun and cool when you get into the groove

and Rahool survived? damnit. drat. drat. bullshit. die you blue bastard

Rerolled from hunter to warlock, so much happier. Hunter just seems... very half assed. Plus I rolled hunter first time in d1 so might as well shake it up.

Also I applied to the newest bdsm, how do I tell if I've been accepted or not? Do I have to get into a certain part of the plot? (Still VERY early since I rerolled and work ha ha).

Is that an actual thing? Or you mean you just re-made a character?

I've mostly only played hunter thus far. At this point I'm hoping there's a buff and hunters are so scarce now maybe it'll be good to have one around? Then again they don't really have any group benefit

Never played warlock before 🤔

Oh I just made another character ha ha. I mean I like hunter.. maybe it's good in pvp, but I was never one for that all the time in D1. Warlock just has more useful abilities which I find awesome.

With that said gunslinger is so satisfying to fry people with

According to a pre-release interview, kinetic does more damage to non-super guardians in pvp and elemental melts a like-type superd guardian. Plus later on the nightfalls and challenge modes will have elemental burn modifiers like D1 which will be fun.

I'm so feeling the Warlock. I miss being a Titan a little bit but gently caress dude the ~class fantasy~ is locked in tight with the Warlock. I love feeling like a mage/etc but tough as hell and not too squishy. I'm also digging throwing swords but using voidkamehamehas in the intro mission was raaad so I'm thinking of going back to that when I get it.

Related, there's something real goofy about texting Kellogg's about video games. It said 48-72 hours but hopefully I'll get my sparrow and xp soon!

drat this game is good. There were some parts of the campaign that really felt like old Halo, especially rolling in the tank. Also, the Taken are significantly less tedious to fight now, I actually enjoyed the levels with them. All that teleport and clone BS has really been toned down a whole lot, and the captain orbs don't travel through walls anymore. Good poo poo, I'm really enjoying pretty much everything so far.

Is not because I like you or anything!


Eye of Another World is amazing (improves grenade, Rift and melee ability cooldowns), and it looks like a space-rococo Daft Punk helmet. Never taking it off.

Also the weapon progression system is so much better now. I do not miss harvesting shrubs and rocks.

There are so many good ideas in the loot progression, PvE structure and what not, but man oh man is the weapon and cooldown situation bad. Some of the heroic event and post campaign quest bosses are massive sponges and you just have to sit there and mash the trigger over and over and over and over.

I'm at the point now where I'm able to a lot all the cooldown mods in and it still sucks. (253, all legendaries/exotics and fully modded).

And the kinetic/energy situation is pretty unclear and silly.

I'd love to see them give enemies a bit more health and slash PvE cooldowns dramatically. The game is still good and I'm glad the PvE is interesting.

Still doing lols and lmaos about how stupid the plot was though. At least they tried. And the last boss was pretty cool and funny, save for his cringeworthy dialogue there.

weird cuz I was about to come here and say that tether + coldheart absolutely melts everything

e; also I got an exotic primary quest

according to reddit it's for Sturm. Do Failsafe's quest line on nessus and you get Drang the sidearm. You need to decode an exotic engram- save the one from completing the campaign! Also 5 legendary engrams- leveling up gunsmith/etc. counts for that, even though it doesn't actually give you an engram to take to the cryptarch

First Upgrade: Punching things gives you a shield.

Third Upgrade: Shield from first Upgrade lasts longer and makes you better at punching things

Same here. Warlock is great and I'm having loads of fun now that I made up my mind. My only complaint is that blink does not jump you far enough to be worth losing the regular jump (in pve at least).
