They did explicitly say that they're looking into reducing the rate of duplicates, but who knows what that actually means. Could mean a negligible change, could mean a significant one.

Even if you import a D1 character on console versions and the script is changed in subtle ways to reflect that, Ghost is still a dipshit.

That's wild! I was wondering why my ghost acted like he never saw the Taken before. Not that my character in D1 ever got the DLC and thus never saw the Taken but man, so weird that they'd even put in this effort. I kinda wonder if the PC version even has the alternate voice lines in any files, considering it's impossible to import to the PC because Bungie are lazy loving... <rant begin>

I was real worried about this game being just more Destiny 1 but my friends got it so I caved since co-op with buddies is always good.

But hey what do you know, there's actually a ton of quality of life improvements in D2. All stuff that should have been in D1, but hey, better late than never.

Still a few things I would really like them to add but its a much better start than Vanilla D1's mess.

Keep an eye for nameless midnight. Zavala will offer it to you as a quest reward for doing the strike series. It's also in his loot pool for ranking up with strike tokens.

It's by far the best pve scout.

3rd party is your only option and it has to be something whitelisted by Bungie like Nvidia's Shadowplay.

Any good Titan subclass guides about how to best use them? Just got the hammer bros and I'm a bit lost as to which of the three I prefer, so tips on how to best use them may help me find my niche; all I seem to find are descriptions of the abilities or stuff from the beta.

Otherwise really enjoying the game so far; especially now that I have a landspeeder.

Sunbreaker is ridiculously bad right now. By far it's most redeeming trait is an exotic chest item that speeds up grenade recharge.. and that's not saying much.

Sentinel is decent, the shield throw is pretty fun. Though I really haven't played it much because:

Striker is where it's at. Both trees are a heap of fun the top one gives shoulder charge which will murderize everything around you. It also gives you double grenades, and pulse grenade just so happens to be the best grenade in the game. The bottom tree gives you a perk that restores health every time you kill something so you can rush into a group and punch the poo poo out of all of them.

In the top gunslinger tree, don't pick the one that gives you rapid fire.

In one of the shadowstalker trees, don't pick the one that gives you rapid fire.

The striker tree looked interesting in the intro, but murphys law loving hates me and of course when I use my punch time ultimate to just get the one meatwall in the tutorial over with quicker, the fucker decides to spend most of my super flying in the air with his jetpack :v: poo poo like this is why I picked Hunter first and threw Arcstrider into my desk drawer ASAP, even though the non super related traits in the other classes looks way more practical at a glance.

If you want to show off how badass and cool the power of the light is, stop making enemies worth blowing a super on spam knockback shockwaves when I get close, fly in the air, have mile high weakpoints when not flying, etc, yeesh. Though not even magical guns and arrows can get around "Surprise! We popped invulnerability"

Yeah, you kinda gotta know your enemy. But in general you want to be using supers on red bar wusses. You see a big pack of stuff ahead of you mash those buttons and obliterate them all.

There are some bosses you can ground pound just fine, but not many.

Yay, just soloed the whole game at level 18. In a pleasant turn of events, the 30 minute long last boss fight ended with us both killing each other on the very last hit... but it still counted it as a win and rolled the credits, so that's nice. I was expecting "gently caress you, back to the check point".

Edit: Whoever said beating it automatically levels you to 20, that's not the case cause I'm still 18.

Edit 2: I specifically remember the Eververse saying you can't buy silver until level 20 but it unlocked it anyway, I guess beating the game at 18 broke stuff.

Like Zaphod said, bear in mind that the dogs are trash mobs, and although fast and annoying, a single melee strike can take them out.

You can take down an aggressing pack of them reasonably efficiently with melee + gun combos as they rush you. They DO 'spook' and will draw back if you Show your Strength.

I embarrassingly died to a late game room full of dogs, even after opening up with my cluster rocket launcher. Then pulled out my drastically underleveled by that point sunshot and welp that went much better.

It's when they go full bore super spam on melee trash mobs that it's a pain in the rear end. Normally you don't need any tricks at all, no matter what you are playing or using. Then sometimes they spam them extra hard, and you are reminded that proximity will just make you lunge for melee spam from mid double jump rather than throw down your sweet exploding knife into the crowd :v:

EDIT: frivolous wishlist. A way to more specifically choose if you use normal melee or fancy melee. A lot of the time I've wasted my knife throw when I wanted a normal melee, and a lot of the time I warped farther than expected into a pile of enemies at low health when I was expecting to throw an explosive knife into a crowd then make my dramatic escape :downs:
