None of the grimoire or lore was relevant to the fail expansion

Oryx is name-dropped constantly, the events of TTK referenced directly, and even the name Savathun and her relationship to Oryx were only ever mentioned prior in the Grimoire/Book of Shadows.

HOWEVER after Bungie's Official Lore Bitch explicitly said the Grimoire should be considered, unless otherwise stated, but a collection of tall tales and rumors, I am forced to put great trust in the idea that even if the game backs something up and expands upon ideas presented within the Grimoire, it may still not be real, or canon, or whatever as they may merely be drawing inspiration from the Grimoire, or retconning it to a partial truth.

They're legitimately loving retarded and the Story Team needs to stop being concerned with vanity because all of them should be wearing helmets 24/7 and obvs aren't.

I gotta say re: lore. At this point I'd rather read Destiny the tie in novels over playing Destiny the Game.

Wonder if the novels would have RNG loot.

I couldn't get my nightfall card to work, cranked it out to 3.5x but didn't notice anything. Does it only work for the fireteam leader? Bungie sucks at communication.

yeah, the only card that modifies the strike is the strike leader's.

I just logged in after not playing for a few months to try this patch. Why do nightfalls still have guided games? I thought they removed the timer. The strike repetition protection doesn't work cos I had the same heroic strike twice in a row. I should have just quit at the start but it was a mercury one and I couldn't tell which one it was because of the amazing start making you run through the mercury map and the technological marvel that is the infinite forest.

Guess I'll wait until May for the next update/dlc before I login again.

because they haven’t announced anything different

they removed the timer as a completion condition but it’s still there for score purposes

strike and crucible map repetition is turned off right now because it was causing people to get disconnected from the game for some reason

You can tell that they just never thought they'd have to dig in and fix this much poo poo when they were making the game, but also this is a AAA game that had barely a 15-month dev cycle before going gold so i feel like half this game must have been coded on the bus on the way to the studio

"Luckily" there are only like 3 strikes to rotate through, since exodus is out of the rotation (lol) and any ps4 exclusive will never be the nightfall.

And I'm pretty sure the 2 CoO strikes only get one per monthly cycle, so Pyramidion will be back for your next 20 runs soon!!

This all sounds good!!!

15 months? The version we got had less than a year of development.

10 more nightfalls, still no sniper

did find some Dutch idiot who would scream at anyone who wouldn't do the very specific perk and exotic combos he wanted. his nightfall emblem had 58k as his highest score

Vermintide 2 just got an immense balance patch, less than a month after launch.

(also it's half the price of destiny 2)
(also there are no in-game sales)
(also it's way more fun)

For these trying times, here's a recent Washington Post article about washing bears acting weird like zombies https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-its-hind-legs/

quote:

Robert Coggeshall was playing with his beagles outside his Youngstown, Ohio, house around noon Friday when he saw the raccoon.

The 72-year-old pushed his dogs inside as the raccoon fearlessly made its way right up to the glass door, and for a few moments, the animals sat face to face, fascinated with one another.

my friends never bought D2 to play with me but we've all been getting into warframe lately and it seems like its destiny 2 but 1000x as much content and you can flip about like a ninja

also when you're in a party and going ot a mission it shows all your ships and you can waggle them around in the loading screen which is insanely good
