This aligns to the impressions I'm getting from friends who have played both and had all the DLC for D1. I guess comparing the 2, when I never even purchased any of the DLC for D1, is hard to do...so that's fair.

I'm pretty confident I will be purchasing all of the DLC for D2....just seemed silly to do it for D1 at this point, when not a lot of people still play it.
A lot of people still play D1.

Nobody was there when you tried the Vault of Glass because a) there's no raid matchmaking and b) people would be doing the higher level versions that you probably won't be able to access without DLC anyway. It's not a route to get better gear in the progression anymore so nobody does the low level one.

Is the best way to farm exotics (specifically the new ones) still chaining PEs?

Yeah if you can get the heroic version there's a better chance of an exotic engram drop

after you kill the dude on the side island and dunk the rift, stick around

look out at the edge, like away from the playable space, there'll be a little crystal that spawns.

shoot it, and some geometry spawns. Jump on, more crystals, more platforms, etc.

at the top there's a sync plate, stand on it. Done.

There's a bit of a time limit, so go fast and don't fall, but one person can do this and you only have to do it on one side, not both.

I think what it does is sometimes the gate lord gets a shield and you have to dunk more rifts to break it.

Yeah, every so often the gate lord puts up a shield and a bunch of cyclopses spawn. Kill the cyclops, dunk the orb it drops (on the platform above the gatelord via mancannons), same as phase 1.

Since we're on the topic. gently caress those god drat jump pads in the public event.
They fail and kill me 90% of the time. At first it was a fun novelty but now it's getting aggravating and keeps me from activating the heroic

Pretty sure increasing the drop rate of rares is some kind of bizarro concession to the players but it's just a curse for this reason.

Oh I guess I get the dlc title now.

I find it kind of useful in quickly light leveling some older stuff I have laying around. After one of those heroic adventures I grabbed Hardlight and Borealis out of storage to deal with the shifting elements, did PVP for a couple hours, came out of it with plenty of 300+ ARs and snipers to fuse into them to bring them up to speed.

There's no prompt (probably a ui bug), but walk up and hold square/X to eat the plate's rear end.

Well i didn't realize until I was getting offline that you can infuse new poo poo into old poo poo for a nice jump. I was infusing new 307ish weapons and armor into my existing 303-305 gear and stuff was coming out 312-314

Wow, so if you kill the Gate Lord before he can put up his second shield it causes the event to give out normal rewards instead of Heroic Event Rewards.

At this point it has already gone heroic and you've seen the banner and everything. I guess you crush the boss so hard he forgets he's heroic? If real, lol

That's exactly what happens, six guys shooting the poo poo out of the Gate Lord and you get the Event Complete Banner. Tried it again and same thing.

I'm about half way through Osiris story stuff now, and the only thing I don't like about this DLC is that it didn't help me decide if I should play Warframe or The Division instead of finishing it.

So Xbone gets 1 new crucible map, until they feel like rolling out the next one in three weeks with iron banner or whatever. Christ these guys are dipshits. Do they not realize the game is stale as hell and needs an adrenaline shot?

Turns out there is actually a third map (or second if you're not on PS4) and it's called Radiant Cliffs. It's set in that Titanfall-style simulation area with the yellow grass and white Vex architecture. They could have padded the content out by bringing back Asylum or something as well, though.
