Congratulations on the the first two months, then you will become bitter and angry at bungie because they can't deliver more content than just the bare minimum.

Like VideoGames I have only started playing this real recently but don't you worry I've been bitter at Bungle for years already.

PS Gideon Emery, that is all.

Those floating diamond icons you collect loot from /give tokens to? If you look closely, there are character models under them.

Which PC clan is the most active? SNEK looks full.

Honestly, besides giving me a few engrams every now and then clans are pretty much useless as far as I know. Hopefully, clan chat will make this better.

Also, why do we need 3 distinct separated discord servers for each clan? I'm just saying co's I'm weird and I enjoy reading people chat while I play (and posting the eventual bitching when I get frustrated) and I find myself having to cycle between 3 discords all the time. Even euro goons, since our characters persist no matter what server you use, there's no reason we can't play with na and vice versa eventually.

I love that getting a masterwork has a unique sound. Makes your day when you hear it, and earn yourself just a single core again goddamnit.

The short answer is that they're discord communities for goons.

ICR: Dec 31, 2008

We need to all download Line and WhatsApp too. We aren�t maximizing our potential here.

Also, I like a good take and now that embargo is over, one of these idiots that got invited to Bungie a ways back can finally talk. Here�s his take. There�s a couple new nuggets of info here:

quote:

Now let's start!

Gambit is insanely fun:

Many of us believe Gambit is stellar. And when I say that, this is coming from a very PVP oriented guy. Datto ALSO thinks it is stellar. It is a game mode that has something for everyone, and the mass majority of people WILL enjoy this game mode. It has crazy come back moments, crazy clutch wins, and honestly, it may be so big it rivals early trials of osiris for community engagement with content. It may be one of the biggest game modes for the series yet, and I am already craving playing it again. I am excited for everyone to try it, because whether you like shooting dregs or grinding PVP, it will most likely be enjoyable for you!

There will be 100 different ways to win, and I doubt any "meta" will form any time soon. It is too diverse in potential tactics.

Weapon Slot Changes:

Do you like Destiny 1's weapon system? Good! Use it.

Do you like Destiny 2's weapon system? Good! Use it.

There is a way to build your character load-out for everyone going into forsaken. I think literally everyone will enjoy this change, and it brings a lot of outplay potential to the crucible. Having access to a shotgun or sniper frequently leads to a lot of cool moments. I honestly believe this shift will instantly make PVP more fun. There may need to be some tweaks soon after launch to get everything running smoothly, but as of now, playing with this new weapon system felt really nice.

I think it will take some time to figure out the best way to balance the sandbox, but even if primary weapons retain their TTK, the game "should" speed up due to players having more power in their other weapon slot. I believe players won't group up as much and will be aggressive because they feel more confident with the weapons they have equipped.

The Bow is as fun if not more fun than NLB

I don't know how "good" the bows are for PVE and PVP, but they may be the most fun weapon I have ever used in Destiny. Being able to pull back the string behind cover, pop out, and absolutely destroy enemies felt AMAZING.

One of the highest fun factor weapons to ever release. I'm serious. I am craving playing with it haha

AMMO SYSTEM

Not fully disclosed, but in the Gambit build, "Primary weapons" like hand cannons and scouts use white ammo, and "special weapons" like shotguns used green. If you try to run a kinetic and energy shotgun, they will both share this green ammo and you may starve yourself of ammo very quickly.

This system may change / adapt as the summer goes on, so we can't focus on it too much. But it appears to be a similar ammoo economy as Destiny 1. I think it played nicely overall. And if you want to snipe, shotgun, or use the bow a bunch, you will have a lot more uptime than current Destiny 2 "Power ammo"

Supers are DOPE AS HELL:

While I haven't got to play a few of them, the new supers add some wicked fun to Destiny. Death from above Heatseeking titans, HEALER warlocks, Void Dancing hunters. I think these new supers have a lot of fun factor built into them, and they have some pretty cool niche strengths.

Destiny 2 has felt very similar to D1 for a long time, and supers have honestly gotten pretty stale to me. However, being able to lazer beam enemies on the stormcaller is going to stay fun for a very long time.

I think these added supers are going too feel as good if not better than adding the subclasses in the Taken King because of how diverse they are. You are in for a treat.

Bungie wants to fix this game more than we want it fixed:

It was very obvious how passionate the developers are. They want this game to improve and are working on it. It was very refreshing to see how badly they wanted feedback and advice on how to turn the ship around.

Many stayed after hours to discuss with us, or pulled us away for a couple extra minutes between meetings so we could get into more detail.

We felt heard, and I think they are making great progress.

For the Mars event, ramming the chest that spawns from the injection rig event with an interceptor works wonders.

Also let's hope gambit stands up to the hype.

The new Dawnblade one shoves the sword into the ground and creates a giant rift that lasts 30 seconds and tethers people to it while they're near it. From the footage linked earlier it looked like it acted like a normal healing rift (gives an overshield while in it) but I think I also saw the normal abilities charging much faster while in the rift so maybe it does that too.

Now to hope you actually get to see the health of people in your fireteam. Then again that would assume bungo know how to make a multi-player ui.

You get a 30% flat damage boost, a 110hp overshield and boosted ability recharge rates in the Big Rift

VideoGames is at all times, so probably not.

This is very true!

Plus if I do not like something I will just sort of drift away. So if there is a point where I am not having fun in Destiny 2 then I will move on. I have only ever been intensely into a game where I over play for hours and hours for only a couple of titles. Most of the time I just play around, sometimes complete, and that is it.

I am excited to play more tomorrow night though! I will also look at the clan discords and such because it might be fun to try some coop stuff. I have also never been in a raid or done any endgame stuff in the first Destiny because I was just bumbling about on my own and not enjoying the controls due to console.

They are so fluid in this, however. My mouse movement is wonderful! And the game runs at 60fps constantly for me. I seriously am amazed. Very impressed by Bungie with this.

I really look forward to this too!

I used to mic with TF2 teammates back when we played in the ETF2L/UGC competitions so am completely unfazed by sounding like a doofus in front of others.

I think I will wait till I have finished the base campaign before signing up for strikes and raids, but I think it will be great to give them a go!
