Retconning an item that they introduced just months earlier in D2 base would be pretty bungo

If you know anyone who owns an XBone and is on the fence about Destiny 2, it's $35 dollars with the expansion pass... edit: scratch that gift card, you just get Microsoft funbux to pay for the expansion pass... or not, if you use it for something else.

This is normal and a sign of a healthy game. :stare:

Ahh they are giving people that first hit for free now, that’s a good plan

2 or 3 seconds. It also does 2 damage so it stops health regen and can tag enemies through walls.

Here's some tweets from the head of the Live team @cgbarrett

quote:

Happy Holidays Guardians. I hope you are enjoying the The Dawning or at least a bit of chaos in Mayhem. There are a few things I want to mention before the year ends...

For the upcoming Iron Banner and Faction Rally events, in addition to brand new seasonal armor Ornaments, we’re adding new themed Sparrows, Ghosts, Ships, and Shaders to the reward pools.

Also, early next year, we’re refactoring Raid itemization across the game. The most difficult activities should be the most rewarding.

And finally, I know we say it a lot, but we hear your feedback on Eververse. We both want our players to feel respected, and to deliver great content regularly to our community. Expect lots of discussion with the dev team and an update on our path forward after the new year.

I like that it took 3 years to get a really good weapon and perk system for raid gear which was immediately forgotten for d2.

Also House of Wolves for all its faults was a pretty great expansion in hindsight brought in really good game modes for PVE and PVP and four new unique loot streams.

One point of space and time.

Oh, for sure, my anecdotal experience is completely in line with this. I cannot however imagine there being any meaningful experiment the community could conduct to any satisfactory result on the issue. If testimony then is the only measure we have, I say the needle is pushing hard to the right.

I spent $50 on silver in used every single bit of it on engrams. I got a total of three Exotics, including one ship and two ornaments

I got several more Exotics from my 9 weekly engrams afterward, but I think that has more to do with pulling $50 worth of crap out of the loot pool beforehand, then it does a Sinister drop rate enhancement

If you don't have the colony, I'm sorry for your loss. If you don't have telesto, same thing. Loading up a titan with purple orbs so he can smash into a group of mooks is loving great. Reminds me of using vauban teslas to create your own personal sun/bugzapper out of another warframe. Also making pubs unable to see their screen when you do it to them.

Telesto with the extra bit of ooomph because it’s in the heavy slot is maybe the one good outcome of the rejiggering of the weapon classes in D2.
