They need to patch colony to be a OHKO. otherwise what's the point?

It's both thrilling and terrifying.
If they're lowering Prestige Raid rewards back to 300, what even is the point of doing the Prestige Raid now? Seems like it hurts CoO players who wanted to use it to get 330 gear.

Also, removing the NF option on the Prestige trophy/achievement just made it way harder. Not only was the Prestige Raid a lot harder to do than the Prestige NF, but it requires you finding 6 ppl over 3.

Pretty sure clarifying a statement from last week isn't being explicit.

Last week: “oh boy this gun sure is hosed huh, have fun this weekend kids”

today: “yeah we didn’t play test this gun properly it’s gonna get hella nerfed and fixed next month”

tomorrow, in the patch notes: “here is specifically how we are nerfing this broken rear end gun”

you’re right they aren’t being explicit enough, i demand the nudes

If you didn't expect them to nerf it pve as well, you're a fool. And if you think they're going to be more open with us in the future, then boy howdy. I mean.....yeesh.

Also they just tweeted about Prometheus Lens.

"As ‘Laser Tag’ weekend comes to a close, we’re making good on our promise to address the fact that Prometheus Lens is way too powerful. Sure it’s fun, but it breaks the Crucible for anyone who wants to use a different weapon. Given the short window we had to make an emergency fix, it will be adjusted to be way too weak. In January, this new Exotic will receive a proper, play-tested design pass."

To be fair this isway more transparent than Blizzard was when it dumpster'd Roadhog and insisted "it's a buff, honest!" for the better part of a year. Still, I'm reserving judgement until I see what they call 'fixed.'

Crucible is back, baby! It's bad again! Awooooo (warhound howl)

Otherwise you have to write 500-word essays and invent a third difficulty of Prestige Mode

Here's a fun activity - Try and figure out what the rewards and light levels are for the following:

1. Leviathan
2. Leviathan Prestige
3. Lair
4. Lair Prestige

Hint: Regular Leviathan drops a 335 item from Calus, but Prestige Leviathan drops a 300 item from Calus

Legit still don't understand why the raid now always drops 335s all the time?

If they just retained the existing powerful engram formula - the one implemented literally everywhere else in the game, this would be a non-issue. Pre-CoO players could do the raid at 305, get 305 capped gear, everyone else could get it scaled slightly higher in line with their current light level up to 335

D1's expansion model was all locking people who didn't buy the new stuff out of existing content all the time, wasn't it? Is the angst over it in D2 just an extension of the general cloud of shittiness hovering over the game right now?

Yes and No.

D1 typically held over all the content from previous (apart from Nightfall, which was always locked out when new DLC came out, and Trials, which was only added in House of Wolves) for at least one DLC behind. Also previous raid level requirements were never changed, and it never locked out achievements either

It's also hard to argue with the PC version being out for only a single month before a decent amount of the content is locked behind another purchase.

Destiny 2's pvp isn't fun for even the esports superstars because nobody plays Destiny for firing lanes and angles and whatever the gently caress it's played for dumb space bullshit and sprinting facefirst into a wizard with a laser shotgun while a muscle wizard tries to fist you. The laser being broken just shakes it up a bit until they fix it and everyone goes back to squad formations with the MIDA.

It's fun because it's simple. You don't have to make sure you're near a teammate or that your cooldowns have finished or whether the power ammo has spawned or whether that fire lane is safe or if a grenade could come around that corner or if you can super without being countered or anything like that. You just look for red, hold down the trigger, and in a couple of seconds either he's dead or you are. Repeat 30 times and get your tokens, repeat that until it gets patched.

I was still running into squads, its just they were aiming down mida lanes with instakill lasers instead of basically instakill midas

You could actually probably get somewhere legally with the DLC locking you out of achievements had they not backtracked but no one would take your case individually and you probably agreed to binding arbitration and waiving any class based arbitration that one time you pressed A so good luck

Your best bet would be to find a pro se prison guy who has access to D2 but not the expansion in the rec area or conjugal trailer and so has standing, and convince him to shoot for the moon

I like Bungie/Destiny pvp in general, longer TTK and stuff is the reason I play their games instead of like, CoD or something so the laser tag isn’t super exciting to me. It was fun for like, a day or two.

That doesn’t mean I liked the state of D2 pvp as it was before Friday, but I wouldn’t want it to be laser tag all the time either

Such a complicated world we live in.

It'd be cool if Bungie remembered they made Halo and added a bunch of fun gameplay variants into these playlists so we can have stupid laser tag time as well as sweaty firing lane time. I know they want everyone to just use the weapons they have but make a separate list specifically for tooling around, they already can lock equipment loadouts and stuff.

Oddball or Juggernaut would be nice too, or ffa again in general. Heck I think it's garbage but you can do Zombies too and just have the zombies get Taken or something.
