You get free engrams every week when your clan does stuff. Once your clan runs the raid, every week you get a single raid engram, for example, that has a single piece of raid gear in it.

Good dudes in clan 6 (Goldman Shaxx I think, amazing name) but they’re all PSN.

You got two options for clans on PC and it doesn’t matter what you join because we will all be playing together anyway.

You got the Overchills and the HOTDOGS. Pick your poison. Get nude and eat a hotdog while you chill.

Hunter dodge move is meh for pve but really good for pvp. Good luck being a lone wolf in pvp

Efb, literally said the same thing lol

The hunter dodge that recharges your melee with the arc tree that refills your dodge on a melee hit is fun as heck in public events and thrall swarms in strikes. Play what's fun don't try to minmax your class in PvP, gunskill and awareness is more important and leveling an alt is pretty quick anyways.

I didn't realize how close we were to release until the other day. My strategy of "Play the gently caress out of other games and don't think about D2 as much as possible" has paid off and the wait was bearable

It definitely helped that there's been a ton of really solid games coming out since the console launch, it's been a good couple of months.

So whats the deal right now? On reddit in the d2 sub, they're saying the community is dying down (on consoles at least). I want to buy the game, but if it sounds like people are leaving after a few weeks of playing that doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies.

They made the game incredibly casual. So the things that kept people playing the end game are basically gone. People like slayerage are playing fortnight because they can't find people in their group who want to do the prestige raid a second time.

That said, it is still fun to play, but has turned into, at this point, a game you login and do milestones for and then get off. Still worth playing, but doesn't have any real grind.

Oh yeah, me too. I don't miss the grind. But they have balanced weapons for PVP in a way that makes them less fun for PVE. The unbalanced guns were part of the fun in Destiny.

I think that's ultimately a good thing, but I understand where the people complaining are coming from. The grind is what killed D1 for me. I got burned out around the time the second expansion dropped.

I'm also employed now, and wouldn't have the time anyway, not to mention all the other games coming out next week.

Yeah same. I played something like 1000+ hours within half a year, it was bad. I don't want another game like that. I've been playing the division for my random loot, and even there I just do the daily missions and maybe kill the named bosses and then I am done.

I skipped out on Destiny 1 but figured hey gently caress it why not for the sequel.

Hopefully the fixation on making only the future spacemen who use anything but guns the cool special boys, isn't quite as bad as everything makes it sound.

I wanted to come to space to shoot cool guns, and cooler guns. Not run around slapping things with medieval weaponry or firing a bow. Isn't that what the other 19 trillion grinding games are for :v:

If anything Destiny 2 will probably be better received by PC players than it was with console people because they have fewer preconceptions going in. It's an undeniably good game standalone, but some of the decisions feel like a step backward from what Destiny 1 was

There's an npc that offers random gear for every clan milestone your clan reaches. You don't have to pick up the engrams but they are great for boosting your alts and getting you Trials gear you would not be able to get unless you want to deal with the sweat... and brother it can be reallly sweaty.

I was doing well until Giant Bomb streamed the raid and I tried to hold off but ugh, I caved and it looks great and will be even better with kbm.

I needed a new mindless distraction as of a week ago, so I restarted Far Cry 4 and by the end of last weekend I had cleared the whole southern section of the map.

I’m off work from Tuesday through Friday so I’ll have plenty of time for D2 and a little Wolf2 and AC Origins.

Don’t forget IOI is announcing new Hitman content Tuesday morning as well!

Most of the whining comes basically down to that the game isn't grindy enough. If it had been grindier then people would be too busy grinding to worry about little stuff like a heavy slot being used for a quest that you can delete and get again whenever you want. Or, that you can't delete a whole stack of shaders all at once.

Ironically, Bungo added unique looking gear, with cool glowy effects, to the prestige raid that seems to only drop rarely and requiring potentially weeks of grinding but apparently because it doesn't bump your light level up to 306 it doesn't count, or something.

It would be totally awesome if Bungie changed the prestige raid gear so that if you had a full set your LL was 306 BTW.
