Did any of you get the boxed dvd version of this? My net is terrible and I can't download that much. Amazon just says "unavailable" with no other information.

Any ideas?

There is no DVD version. The 'physical' or 'boxed' version is just a key inside a dvd case shipped to you lol.

AFAIK Light Level doesn't matter in D2. But if it does, it's overall level and it's a small difference.

It still does, but it's different than D1. Past 300 there's no difference right now. And you are still scaled in most places (like patrol areas) so you're not totally steamrolling everything, which is why it doesn't seem to matter much.

A long Reddit post about how it worked in D1:

I find it loving mind boggling because it's such an environmentally damaging thing to do. Yeah yeah I know we consume all sorts of poo poo that doesn't help to no end, but there's something excessive about making a plastic box and sending it halfway across the planet just to give you a code. It's absurd.

i mean if you're thinking about it this way how does slamming a plastic disc in there with some code on it that can be sent over the internet improve the situation exactly

Your character level and overall power level determine damage. Game averages all your equipped gear into a value and compares it to the power level of an enemy you're fighting, and gives a bonus or penalty based on who has the bigger number.

But keep in mind there's hidden difficulty scaling too. If you get all your gear up to 305 and head back to the EDZ, the fighting will be easier, but you won't be an unstoppable god. Your damage output will be very high but you'll take damage at roughly the same rate as when you were level 1. Bungie did this to avoid trivializing everything.

It used to be anything after 5 light over your enemies level in TTK and RoI was useless, I would imagine something similar here.

has anyone found a fix for the frame stuttering happening after playing for about an hour? I tried different video settings but it keeps coming back, even though the frame counter never drops below 60, you can clearly notice something is wrong and only restarting the game fixes it.

In the beta, actual fullscreen vs borderless was the fix for me.

If I had one complaint so far it's that I never know which cliffs are okay to walk off and which ones are insta-death. I assume that'll become clearer to me over time but I died a few times in the intro as well due to this and then had a few moments where I truly didn't know where to go because the route to forward progress was down a drop that I assumed would be insta-death. Very weird.

So let's say I'm a little overwhelmed by the 80 different chat platforms goons are using (bnet/multiple discords/a million sub channels across discords, etc). Where, specifically do I go if I want to do some strikes/raids with goons? I'm in 2 Chill 2 Serious if it's relevant.

Grab your MIDA and pretty much any 450RPM AR and you'll be fine, buddy. :)

edit: those blue missions on each of the patrol zones!

its not gonna make a huge difference

They actually disable your sprint for that jump but in true Bungo fashion, it's not fully disabled. You get like half a second worth of sprint and then it stops. I thought the game had already broken somehow and was pissed

Probably not yet. I think it has to go through a process of indexing and tieing together your chars + bnet logins + bungo logins together before they show up correctly. I'd expect that to start working late this weekend or next week.
