Meh, I want it not because I can't find a group, but because I'm a dad and sometimes I don't get to play as much as I want. Matchmaking button is easier but with all things, it's a roll of the dice.

Is it normal of you skip all the cutscenes, just to be able to shoot mans and/or AI mans faster?

Played the required crucible matches for the milestone and went 4/6, but I somehow maintained over a 1.0 k/d in every game I was in, which leads me to believe that I must've been matched up against the true dregs of humanity. Overall its not too bad if you just chill and don't care about winning. So long as the milestones are still about participation and not victory this will be a pretty easy way to get gear for me.

I still love the actual line of "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T CONCENTRATE WHEN I'M YELLING?! RELAX!" and just about everything he says during matches.

I totally thought Failsafe would be unbearable based on the Strike during the beta, it felt a lot more contrived but drat if I did not instantly get sucked in when the first line was "Cayde is over there! Ooop, now he's over there! Oop!"

Also, "It's not murder if it's roboooots"

I hope some hopeless nerd is cataloging every voice line in the game for some wiki so we can just pull them up when we want. Especially the scannables.

If you can kill someone who has their super, using your super, he just screams "YEEEESSSSS" for a good 4-5 seconds straight. I got killed because I was laughing so hard when it happened, imagining him shaking the screen while screaming.

The weekly PvP milestone is based on personal performance rather than wins or losses. But it doesn't make a significant difference, maybe 1 match more or less unless you're some god of war.

D1: why the gently caress is the only lore in the grimoire? D2: why isn’t there a grimoire?

Bungo just can’t catch a break. But seriously I loved the grimoire. Isn’t there a dude around here that wrote most of it?

I never had a problem with the grimoire being outside of the game. I can use a web browser to read text.

But D2 has less lore. And has a lore rat, that is a problem for me. Not a big enough problem, since with future DLC's we will inevitably gets more lore.

Is this game way shorter than Destiny? I'm basically ready to raid after doing all the milestones and one nightfall.

I can't tell if it's just that I know the format and skipped stuff to get geared up or if there's just a way shorter curve. Also weird that strikes aren't included in the main story.

Destiny out for years, destiny 2 out for less than a month. :thunk:



loving around in EDZ with goons last night was fun, would drink and play again. If there's a raid tonight I should be able to be on by 8-8:30 again after I pick up my gently caress trophies. Down for anything anyway.

No I mean compared to destiny vanilla, which I played a lot of, not destiny plus DLC, which I didn't play much after the first expansion. It took me a weekend to reach the end of this game and I feel like the game is shorter to play through.

I didnt even make a judgement on the amount of content, which seems the same. It's more that it felt like it assumed I knew how to drive the bus. It introduces strikes with this really brief "STRIKES ARE BACK GUARDIAN" statement and away you go on strike playlist without ever seeing a strike mission.

There's way more content in D2 vanilla than D1, though the presentation sort of obfuscates that.

The ramp to getting to #RaidReady power levels is definitely shorter than getting ready for Vault of Glass in Destiny 1. I feel like there was more mindless grinding of strikes in Destiny 1, whereas in 2 I've barely played any of them.

If I'm remembering correctly, D1 at launch was really bad for gearing up or even getting gear

Yeah and I'm sure there's heaps more stuff for me to look at. The curve to endgame seems really sharp and I have so many exotics after two days they don't feel special at all. I think that's what's weird. I've got all this primo stuff and all I feel like I did was join a clan and tick a couple of boxes to be close to raid ready.

I thought it was funny when I went to xur just out of curiosity about what his currency was and he was like "yeh man times are tough just give me like ten of whatever poo poo you've already got a hundred of, it's all good".

This is probably silly and I probably already know the answer, but if I really want a specific planet set is there any easier way to get it than just grinding events and chests and getting lucky on turn-ins? I have this vision of getting the legs 10 turn-ins in a row and it almost makes me not want to start.

I watched them all the way through first time just to marvel at the hilariously inept Vanguard, and the faint glimmer of Ghaul having some actual character to him.

Out of all the characters, I defintely like Ghaul. He basically calls the guardians a bunch of pussies and he's right. As soon as they find out they can't resurrect, the so-called elite warriors collectively poo poo their pants and get nearly wiped out.

I definitely love the idea of all guardians all being over-dramatic, inept fuckups, and only got as far as they did because they don't stay dead no matter how hard they screw up. And your character is the only one who's still a one-man army without the light so got chosen to be THE SAVIOR etc.. :allears:

Somebody confirm/deny this for me.

Above 260~

1) All rewards are based on your base light. Weapon/armor mods that add light do not count.
2) Faction rewards and random purple/blue drops are always -5 your base light.
3) Exotics always drop at your base light.
4) Powerful gear rewards and certain other rewards drop above your base light and that is the only way to raise your base light above the value of your highest equipment.
5) It's possible to raise the light levels of your equipment to the value of your highest equipment by farming exotics and using them as infusion-fodder for legendaries. Except there are no Exotic Marks so you might end up a little short.

So the most reasonable thing to do before accepting power rewards is to make sure none of your equipment is less than -5 your base light. You can also farm exotics, but again, you won't be able to raise your light above whatever your highest equipment is and also take a really long time.
Zavala's end-game reward appears to be +10 your base light level, and every other powerful gear reward is +5. Not sure on the value of the exotic weapon quests.
