I wonder if all the sweaties jumped ship to PC. The PC players on discord certainly seem to complain about trials being hard, but they might be bads.

Also, have none of my fellow XIM users moved over to PC?

Horizon Zero Dawn DLC dropped, Wolfenstein is also out, etc. Other games are good and this one is dead. My Destiny friends list is in single digits at any given time now, even during Trials. When it isn't Trials, I'm lucky to see four people playing at once.

HZD DLC owns, go play it.

Yeah like with Wolfenstein (and the OG Wolfenstein included in the game) and the Horizon DLC, like who has time for anything but those on weekdays?

it's basically the bones of a good game... 2-3 DLC from now there should be enough content to keep people interested... they just flubbed the out-of-box delivery.

All my dudes are 305, and without something like IB or faction rally, I don't see a reason to even log in.

It's not insanely bad.

It's a fun game, just shallow. D1 was at launch though. Hopefully the expansions for D2 fix it like they did for D1.

Augh I'm so loving mad about this and would be livid if my friends had talked me into buying the game myself (they got it for me for my birthday so I guess I shouldn't bitch too much.)

How do you even get to 305? I'm near 280 and I feel like I've maxed out. I go up by like, 1 level for every 10 engrams, is that just the way of the world?

This is so frustrating. I bought D1 when Taken King came out, and they had their poo poo together. D2 is such a step backwards they're back at D1 launch.

Do your weekly "powerful engram" milestones to unlock gear higher than your level.

Flashpoint: Do public quests on the planet for the week.
Call to Arms: Play like 5-8 crucible matches.
Nightfall Strike: Complete a nightfall strike.
Clan XP: Get in a guild, contributing XP will net engrams.
Clan Crucible: Win 1 game with a clan mate.
Clan Nightfall: Complete a nightfall strike with a clan mate.

Yup, it's this. The D1 campaign was also way, way longer, whatever that's worth. I'm hoping the DLC adds enough... but TTK wasn't even the first DLC for D1, it was the loving 3rd.

Dark Below only added a few story quests, 1 raid, and I think 1-2 strilkes? It wasn't alot.
House of Wolves added a horde-mode... but it was super shallow and only designed for 3 people... but it did introduce VARIKS BITCH, so all is forgiven.
TTK introduced a new patrol arena (the dreadnought), the new Sword heavy, and all kinds of weird hidden poo poo to lose yourself doing for hours, like calcified fragments, court of oryx, bone engram, loving Weaponsmith testing... there was so much to DO in a week.

Destiny is my main squeeze and Idgaf to play at all really. No endgame, no grind, even slaughtering dicks off in Crucible just ain't what it used to be. Excited for new content but pve is really all there is to look forward to. Sucks but the game sucks, so there it is.

PS+ had MGS V for free last month. First ever Metal Gear game, knew very little going in about the franchise, and thought it marvelous. Just got Mortal Kombat XL for $10 to fart around with. Idk, I don't feel like I'm gonna be playing D2 like I used to for a long time. Lots of older good PS+ freebies to play, deals happening all the time, :shrug: Year 2, like in D1, seems like the real time to get into the game.

Right? It's insane how much time is going to have to be spent in the DLC re-introducing stuff that was already handled in the first game.

I mean, I guess I am making the assumption that they aren't going to just ignore The Reef, etc. forever now.

I usually go the PvE ones, I guess I just haven't been paying enough attention to the level of the crap I get.

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

This is just rose colored glasses, there is hella more single player content in D2 out the box than D1 had, just little to no reason to return to any of it unless you sharded your Sondok

To be fair, D2 put a ton of missions in the post-campaign adventures. They were mostly pretty good.
