Destiny 2 is a game where you get tokens and duplicate guns, which you use to get more duplicate guns after you travel to the vendor and spend a bunch of time in your inventory, and then you log off.

You can’t even accidentally pull the trigger in the tower to remind yourself that the guns feel good

I'd love a shooting range on the tower

sometimes I get a purple gun and want to test if it feels good

but then I have to load into a planet to do that so instead I log off and play Vermintide

In my community mythos, Bungie fucks this up and people manage to escape the shooting range with guns and murder people in the tower. Also, there's an XP loss for those deaths because Bungie.

I started playing on Friday and as a new player, the game is really fun. I normally hate FPS games and I'm complete poo poo at it, but I'm enjoying myself. I think I just finished the main campaign, killing Ghaul, so ill see where that takes me now.

The actual feeling of shooting dudes in this game, in isolation, is probably the best of any game around

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.

Nice. Welcome! The Adventures in the EDZ and Nessus (The MIDA questline and Sturm & Drang) will get your level bumped pretty quickly if you need Story-related post-campaign content. Obviously there’s plenty of other stuff you can garden, but those are comparatively some huge boosts.

Any questions so far? If you blew through the campaign already you sound like you have a decent idea what you’re doing, I imagine you’re near level 20 at least.

Thanks! I think I'm level 23, I logged off real quick last night and didn't check. My first question would be how to get one of those hoverbike things I keep seeing, they look a bit faster than sprinting. Otherwise I'll just keep exploring and checking out patrols and stuff. I did 2 strikes, those seem neat even though I didn't contribute much ha.

After beating ghaul, did you talk to all of the people in the Tower it directed you to? You get a Sparrow from a lady in the hangar.

You'll talk to like 6-9 people and they give you a ton of loot! If you'd finished the campaign below level 20 it also would've popped you up to that.

Actually I wonder if it'll pump you to 25, since bungie probably coded it all goofy like

When I spent my time with the game I thought all of the player/enemy animations, sound design and hit feedback during shooting was great. But actually fighting enemies wasn't as engaging as the light show made it seem, they all kinda stand still or walk slowly towards you, with a few enemy types that rush. Doesn't help that a lot of the environments feel boxy and static

6v6 only in IB which we've actively made worse, because we are actually fruit bats and incapable of learning.

And an utterly bizarre half measure of removing the radar only in Comp.

My favorite part of the tiny, lovely inventory is that you need to use DIM to even make it vaguely manageable. And even then it's an endless battle against inventory size.

Sooooo, the nightfall exclusive loot is 3 new weapons with the remaining 4 being ships, sparrow and ghost.


The strike exclusive items are nowhere near as distinct or unique-looking as Destiny 1's strike exclusive items either. You won't be finding any Theosylon Vibrissae, Arc Flayer Mantles, Thaniks Hoods or Hood of Maloks here.
