i like how they said the prestige mode offers no bonus for doing it, which means the already-slight population that does hard mode content when it's current will have even less reason to do it than they did before

i can't wait for the iron banner gear to be restorative so i can get the same loving gear from every pvp activity in the game it's gonna be loving amazing

pretty sure there's some vanity items tied to the Prestige raid that were found in the database, which honestly is healthier than putting pressure on people to go and hit their face against a really hard challenge hoping to grind that extra 10 Power

I'm just glad you could get the trophy from the nightfall. If the prestige raid doesn't offer anything but minor cosmetic bonuses I have no desire to do it until it too is on farm status.

Same and I really enjoy destiny raids. Also I really hope there are unique iron banner weapons next week.

The lack of different weapon rolls is gonna be really boring long term imo. I don't want Eyasluna style rolls but more year 3 IB rolls and Variks rank up packages rolls(soulstealers, aegis of the reef, etc..). Those weapons had really good base stats and most rolls were very usable. They really need to add something similiar to strike specific gear/skeleton keys again, I would grind out some strikes for unique gear that only drops from the boss. The strikes have cool set pieces and are well designed but the loot is very lackluster.

I think the strike rewards are meant to be the vanguard tokens you turn in to Vuvuzela, who gives mostly unique loot (on top of whatever engrams you get in the loot chest, of course).

Tokens in general aren't a bad idea. If NM hadn't been a quest reward I'd be grinding strikes hard until I got one. If it was targeted from a boss, and you could target specific strikes, I'd do that too. Despite it being almost the exact same thing there is something more satisfying about plunking in tokens for the random chance. Doubly so since they can also give out tokens for challenges, which make challenges mean something. Unfortunately none of this matters at all because for the vast majority of your play time those tokens are worthless.

There's a chance... it will have reforging banner guns. Unlikely but maybe. *clutches a maxed out felwinters*

It's maybe possible.

E- banner is the whole reason I bought the game cause it's my favorite "event". I am a scrub player though. Would have preferred supremacy gametype this time around. Hopefully it rotates.

The Control change that is good though is the immediate rush to B since A and C are already clicked. I like that adjustment. It'll be crew goes B and two scatter to A and C. I mean I would theory craft it that way.

Control still kinda sucks but it is what it is. ,

Does the Optimacy armour from Eververse have some trick to it that makes it good as a set or glitched, because a level 15 armour with 10 light is dumb if that’s all it is.

It's the same as any other armor set, you like the stats and look of it or not. It starts at 10 so you can infuse it because otherwise people would say it was "pay to win."

I don't know if mine is glitched but I could only infuse my eververse cloak one time and the game won't let me do it again.

his purple prose is garbage but that paragraph says a lot about what kind of game LS and company want Destiny 2 to be

Remember when D1 shipped and Deej was making claims that were 1) obviously not true and 2) immediately refuted by the design team? And then he went radio silent for like 2 months? Yeah, that was cool.

The item being used as infusion fuel needs to be higher power than the one being infused into, with any legendary mods ignored. That is, an item at 281 with a legendary mod is actually 276 power. Forgive me if you already know this, but could that be the issue?

Buying legendary mods is basically a free 5 levels, now you're probably back to being gated by drops but also raid ready so that's a bunch of extra weekly drops.

Cleared the raid in an hour last night, and got about 15 purples between engrams and vendors. Still no raid RL or Uriel's, but I did get my 5th 305 crown of tempests. I also got lunafactions, which I really wanted for the raid, so I can't complain too much.

The problem is you had to have a full set of 10 light items and the only way you could get the guns was from clan engrams, which Bungie patched to drop higher for some reason

I have always advocate Destiny has a way to make friends. But using it has a way to defend the current design of the game is weird.

The direct effect of not activating levels in Trials and Iron Banner is to make leveling pointless. Static perks already kind of make grinding useless. Character progression is out of the window. Character builds are gone with streamlined perk design. What is left, really. I play the game because my friends play the game, but if the only sustain of the game is friendship, thats not very future proof, the game will turn into a ghost town very quick.

Everything dies, I mean, maybe people get bored and want to move to something else. Maybe this is Bungie way to say "Please, lets us kill Destiny, we don't want to do this for 10 years".

If the game is now a worse country strike, I stopped playing arena shooters more than a decade ago. I played Overwatch a few months, and then it was my time to quit, because arena shooters are kind of stale, without a progression or a way to change the game style to you instead of adapting yourself to the game.

Re: endgame, they're going to talk about "Seasons" at Twitchcon and that's likely to be the future of the endgame.

Also, after 4 years and with all the catering to new and casual players they still couldn't be bothered to make some kind of Infusion tutorial.

There were people in D1 who almost reached 400 light and never knew what Infusion was. They probably sharded so much god roll purples

basically if you arent happy with the endgame its because you have lovely friends, so you need to grind a bunch of better friends and then infuse them into your existing friends
