I've been doing way more stuff with shaders in this one than I ever did in D1. So many options. So much bling.

I prefer how shaders work in D2. I felt like I just used like 1 or 2 shaders I liked in D1 and forgot about them. I love mixing and matching shaders to maximize how much of a clown I look like. Also the effects when spawning in are a solid addition, love the vex effect I have now.

Being mixable and being consumable are two separate things.

So how many supers actually do damage when you activate them? Titan Striker does which is great in pvp because it's good as an "oh poo poo" button

True, but being consumable doesn't bother me at all. I have so many shaders and it really doesn't feel like Bungie is shorting people on consumables to entice people to buy silver. It's not hard to get bright engrams, especially with the 3 level xp buff each week.

I need more glimmer so I can put shaders and mods on everything over and over.

I fondly remember when I initially hit the glimmer cap and thought there was nothing to spend it on. I was incredibly wrong.

Yeah but you can't use Foetracer if you're using Knucklehead.

Foetracer is great, allows you to focus in on someone. Knucklehead is great, keeps you aware of everyone.

I find Foetracer better when rolling with a team so they can watch my back and I can tell them what some dolt is doing. Solo queue I find Knucklehead better so I can watch my own back and not get ganged up on.

Can't go wrong with either.

The final fight is good but it’s got Taken versions of the dick pistons from King’s Fall throughout.

Is the Titan strike the only one that sometimes changes? I did it like 7 times and the 7th was different, not just fallen enemies but also a differenth path. They should do that on all strikes

I kinda wish strikes were more worthwhile. I've literally only done one of the strikes, arms dealer. I got it twice in a row whenever I did the strike milestone. I haven't tried the nightfall because I've heard how awful it is this week so I probably won't until next week. I think there should be a heroic strike playlist because I loved running strikes in D1 but they don't seem worth touching in D2 so far. I don't have an issue with that since there's actual content to do instead but it'd be an easy way to have some extra stuff to do.

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.

There's an lfg bot in the discord that can help you find raid groups, or just sit in the discord and ask around. Plenty of groups are fine with new raiders, and I even still see the occasional mostly blind grouo

Glimmer is a way bigger bottleneck than shader consumables

Even the fancy eververse ones I have a ton of from all the bright dust the game is giving me

Mar 5, 2009

Glimmer does suck because there's no way to get a lot of it in a hurry but if you run around playing the game and avoid changing mods and shaders constantly you'll cap out in a few hours.

If you're super desperate keep a stack of some lovely shader that you get a ton of and dismantle it when you need an infusion. Enjoy holding that X button though!

Yes, it's crazy how much nicer it is. Also you can jump off of stuff and instant-summon to do all sorts of rad flips.

There's a lot of bad reasons you could make up to pretend it's not padding, but it's padding. Thankfully your second and third characters don't have to suffer the same fate.
