You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

So i finally was able to jump on, got the powerful gear stuff done.

MIDA is a plague upon the crucible. I'd be chugging along just fine, sometimes kd well over 2, sometimes under one. poo poo happens. Win some, lose some, still fun.

Then every half hour to hour I'd run into lile 3 or 4 guys using MIDA and it instantly made the match a slog. Sucked all the fun out of it. I could equip my MIDAs, but dammit that's not what i want to do.


Guess i just gotta get good enough to beat the sys-hahahahaha no I kinda suck.

Attention fellow goons, every map of the Pleasure Gardens sucks (except the day 1 MS Paint one) so I drew us a new one. And since it was going to end up on Reddit anyway I posted it there as well.

Detailed Map with legend, paths and prism sightlines, add spawn locations, etc.

My biggest issue with the quickplay playlist in the crucible is the score limits are way too high. Every single game I've played hit the time limit, which feels odd because every other mp game is the opposite. They need to lower the score requirements to win matches or increase the time limit. Although if they increase the time limit they should make the mercy rule more prevalent to avoid one sided stomps that take forever.

Best counter to MIDA is the mini tool.

Of course to get the most benefit you have to have MIDA on too, but you can sprint into their grill and pepper them with SMG fire and then finish off with a punch.

I found a little niche with scathelocke at range, Death Adder (really nice submachine gun) from the hip while closing, then knife.

And of course, quickfanging people around corners. That sword is fun as poo poo.

Yeah i probably could've done that too, it's similar to what i did (posted above). Already have 8 or 9 mobility (hunter), makes closing easy.

I will also say: popping invisibility, pulling out the sword and running at a group of enemies is just :discourse:

It's pretty easy to see an invis person in crucible, just look for the same effects invis fallen have.
If you're busy fighting someone else though, there's a good chance you won't know they're coming or there until it's too late.

In Destiny I would say "Oh look, hooks for DLC stuff to slot in." but in Destiny 2 that is probably used as part of an Adventure. I know a few on Io are a bit more involved than you would expect.

Unless I missed something, I don't like that you can't control when to activate your melee ability. It's made me use melee less instead of more. Always annoying when you forget and activate it at an inopportune time.

Also I don't like mapping functions to button holding, but Destiny's far from the first offender.

So are linear fusion rifles for PvE? Do they do a buncha damage or something? I was a big Queenbreaker's Bow fan in D1 but have struggled to see the point of the Tarantula in PvP

Yea and this is even more annoying with the melee power coming online once every minute or so

Ashir: Yeah, I'd like to get a 10-piece McNugget and a bunch of the Szechuan sauce. Like, as much as you're allowed to give me. In 1998, they had this promotion for the Disney film "Mulan," where they -- were they -- they created a new sauce for the McNuggets called Szechuan sauce, and it's delicious! And then they got rid of it, and now it's gone. This is the only place we're gonna be able to try it, is in my memory.

Man, I really dislike D2 PvP.

It's not even the Mida. Abilities have like two minute cooldowns. There aren't enough players. I can't pick the modes I want to play because there are just the two hoppers. It's a massive gently caress up at every step.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.
