Looking at it now, it really is disgusting. The flesh is transparent. From the start, I had no idea if it would even make a clapping sound. So I diligently reproduced everything about human hands, the bones, joints, and muscles, and then made them slap each other pretty hard.

Strikes weren't ever really good (with maybe the exception of a few Taken King / HoW strikes) but they at least gave better rewards.

Pyramidion is cool, though.

There were Taken King exclusive content that only became platform agnostic after D2 came out, nearly a two-year gap. It's absurd.

D1 had shitloads of amazing strikes. Devil's Lair, Shadow Thief, Sunless Cell, Abomination Blight, Fallen Saber, Shield Brothers, etc etc etc. They also had a lot of variety per strike, Devil's Lair for example could be fallen or hive or SIVA themed, with different variations on the mobs and minibosses.

What's on offer in D2 is criminal by comparison.

D1 strikes were actually somewhat difficult by comparison and actually enjoyable since they were woven into the story to make you give a poo poo about why you were doing them. D2 just dumps them on you at an arbitrary point with no context and they're criminally easy and boring as poo poo.

I like the strikes in D2. I just wish there were more of them. That being said, I didn't play D1.

The only actively bad strike is Exodus Black but they could all use improvement and could use having a point.

New Monarchy's Scout Rifle and Sidearm are pretty good. The armor is imo the baller-est, especially the Warlock armor imo, but for some reason I've just never cared much about NM.

Speaking of Scout Rifles; I finally got the Mida and... it feels like I'm shooting a fart gun. I mean yeah, it hits like a loving truck (it's my highest level gun by like 20 power), shoots fast and has almost no recoil, but as soon as I get a better scout that I can feed into Nameless Midnight I'm going back to it.

The boss battle in Sunless Cell was great, especially in weeks where Xur had recently sold Hard Light or the Telesto. Just pitch black except for the laser light show and pink pop pop pops. But mostly I do miss the encounter difficulty from D1's strikes, D2's strikes feel so perfunctory. You blow through the two tanks in Arms Dealer like they're nothing even with the mobs of infantry around them, in D1 a tank by itself was a significant miniboss batte. Genuinely the most difficult thing in D2's strikes is trying to get through the Vex wall lasers.

I don't know if it's considered low effort but the season 2 faction gear is still the same sets but they gussy them up a little more. Compare the New Monarchy Titan S2 armour with the current one.



E: mostly just the inclusion of giant amazingly gaudy gold emblems everywhere

I dunno. I think it sucks we don't have infinite vault space but I'm pretty sure I don't want to collect all 285 or whatever unique pieces of loot across all three classes anyway.

Also the New Monarchy S2 looks sick (if you already liked the base set it's based on) so I'm pretty happy.

Half the fun of this game is barbie spaceman, so I would like to collect the sets I find visually appealing.

I'd also like to be able to select what loving part I want instead of getting the same faction helmet drop eight times.

Like everything in Destiny 2 spider tanks no longer pose even a little bit of a threat. In Destiny 1 their main cannon would wipe you the gently caress out if you were caught out in the open but in D2 I don’t think I’ve ever been hit by it and you can solo one by just standing next to it and blasting. It’s so goddamn boring.

yeah they're a loving joke. one clueless pubbie who doesn't know how public events work can easily kill a spider tank faster than you and multiple other people can turn the event heroic, which is a thing that happened to me a couple hours ago

I had it happen to me twice in a row. Super frustrating.

I think spider tanks can oneshot you with their cannon, but it tracks so absurdly slowly that you'd need to stand still for so long that a dreg could kill you.

Yo, Skullfort is extremely LoL and does a good job making Striker feel even more OP.

Are melee Cooldown mods completely redundant with Skullfort? Should I swap them to weapon or class ability mods?

I never thought they would make strikes that would make me MISS going after Valus Taur'ic. And then there's the Exodus Black one (which is a double shame because it features Failsafe, destinys tsundere waifu). Personally, I really miss the Undying Mind strike, Alak Hul, and Omnigul, even if I have killed her a few hundred times.

If you bothered to read up on it you'd know that it's the same armor with an ornament applied to it (just like exotic guns). Your current faction armor will be ornament compatible for next season.
