Ugly In The Morning posted:I’m booting up D2 for the first time since the end of last year. I hear the game’s had some big changes, can someone give me a rundown on anything really worth checking out right now? I don’t have the season pass but I’m gonna get the package with all the stuff in it when I get paid in a week (if it’s out, I dunno if it is.) Mazerunner posted:Each one added a new planet, story missions, pvp maps, strikes and raid lair. CoO's planet sucks, Warmind's is good. The stories for both are pretty meh. The strikes are good, but there's a thing where you do stripped down 'solo' versions of them as part of the story. The raid lairs are 'short' raids, like shorter than Crota, assuming you're not wiping or w/e a bunch. CoO's (eater of worlds) is great, with a super fun boss. Warmind's (spire of stars) is less great, with a high power level and intricate mechanics. this doesn't include any upcoming changes in Forsaken

You can tickle fingers other supers pretty effectively if you kite them. There's a sweet spot where your lightning will still hit and you can make them miss. Pretty satisfying against hammers or arc staff.

Looking at Curse of Osiris from a first time experience like 'this is just a small destination planet with a few quests and some Vex to shoot', Curse is ok Looking at it as the first 'expansion' after the D2 launch, man people must have been loving pissed

victrix posted:Looking at it as the first 'expansion' after the D2 launch, man people must have been loving pissed I straight up stopped playing the game over it because it was so loving lame. I was already on the way out the door at that point because the game before that was also super lame, but Osiris was the last straw. Like the DLC came out, and my last played time was the next day. I didn't start the game back up until the hype for Forsaken began. (and I still haven't preordered anything, you fooled me last time Bungie) edit - https://chrisfried.github.io/secret-scrublandeux/guardian/1/4611686018433467294

The best deal is to wait a week after launch and find out if the game is worth two shits before spending more money on it.

Yeah not at all like eachother https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he-HwTfaNxU&t=553s They do nearly identical DPS and full mag damage and both are full auto. Having to kill an ad (one shot) vs. punch something is not really "nowhere near eachother." I guess TB makes the EP better, until next week when PP is still void (hopefully).

I got to it pretty late (PS4) so I never got the chance to do a lot of the endgame content.

Osiris was dogshit because it added a bunch of really easy story missions and kind of boasted a new area that was going to be randomly generated that is just dumb and bad. It also kind of brought in the shittiest pvp maps in the rotation and long rear end strikes. Warmind was good.

What, you didn't enjoy doing the Infinite Forest for every single mission, strike, and adventure? Going through the IF 20+ times wasn't new and exciting for you?

If the weapon slot changes are perfectly clear to you, you haven't given it enough thought yet. Guarantee Bungie doesn't even know yet and they're still trying to figure out how to balance 1HitKill green ammo (for 4 years running)

This week's TWAB is out. There's a fuckton of new Forsaken info. Highlights: - Decide what element you want on your Y1 energy/heavies now and switch to that on your gun, cause on Aug 28 those guns will be locked into that element forever in your inventory. - IKELOS Shotty and Sniper are going to be forced solar, I guess to prevent booping. - No Trials at all for the entirety of S4. They need to figure out how to make it not terrible again. - Every week will have 3 Nightfalls to pick from, so you can grind the specific one you want easier without having to wait for the rotation. Also no more Prestige Nightfall - No more Heroic Strikes. There's a 300, 400, and 500 strike playlist. Once your character is 40+ above a playlist, it disappears forever, so you have to play the most competitive one you can. - There will be Heroic daily missions again - The same modifiers will be used everyday across Heroic Adventures, Heroic Daily, and strikes - All planet tokens are going away, there's just mats only. Lots of legendaries will require specific planet mats to infuse now. - You will get better powerful engrams depending on how far below the recommended level you were when you did a thing. So if you do a raid 40+ below, you'll get a higher level powerful than the guy who did it at recommended. - All exotic engrams are now at least 1 power level above your level. - Faction rallies are gone until further notice, they haven't decided yet how you'll get the catalysts you missed from them. - Eververse is getting bounties, they will award Bright Dust. Must spend a "bounty note" to get a bounty from Eververse. You get 1 note a week. There's 3 tiers of bounties, each tier costs more notes but gives more dust on completion. qbert fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Aug 10, 2018 |

quote:Starting in Season 4, Iron Banner will be updated to enable Power level advantages, like in the days of old. All players of Destiny 2, regardless of expansion ownership, can participate in Iron Banner events. Year 2 rewards, featuring random rolls and compatibility with Year 2 modifications, will also be available to all players. Players who acquire new Power during their adventures in Forsaken will have an advantage, but we don’t want to exclude anyone who wants to compete in Iron Banner and reap the rewards. Iron Banner rewards will be capped for legacy players at their maximum Power available. So there will be some non Forsaken scrubs running 200 LL below everyone else in IB.

Are there any noteworthy guns to lock to a specific element? I guess it depends on the raid content we get but I'm sure some of you spergs already have a good idea what to do.

Also the following guns are becoming kinetic, don't waste your elemental mods: Baligant Shepherd’s Watch Hawthorne’s Field-Forged Shotgun Alone as a God Perfect Paradox The Frigid Jackal Silicon Neuroma I'm sad Paradox is going elementless, how will I honor Saint-14's memory if it isn't void?

victrix posted:... Said group was making jokes last night about them including something this stupid And making specific planet mats needed for upgrades gives people a reason to go to every planet once in a while and keeps them populated. Needing to go to certain places for certain mats is standard for every RPG/RPG-ish game and even if they're not making a full on crafting system, it's good the mats are actually needed for something other than just dumping into a talking slot machine. Tokens were always dumb for anything but maybe events like IB or crucible and I'm glad they're being dumped Roman fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Aug 10, 2018 |

Roman posted:Why is it stupid? I don't understand. Tokens were always dumb. Why am I finding Chuck E Cheese coins in the forgotten chest of an ancient space temple? Are they candy medallions the wascally Fallen stole from Devrim's fridge? They should have always been mats. It's not the token part at all, don't care about those, it's exactly the forcing people to planets to farm spinmetal part that we were talking about Fun Things in Destiny: [X] Shooting Dudes [X] Shootin More Dudes [ ] Harvesting Spinmetal in an efficient loop to power up your gun so you can shoot dudes Now if they're smart and give you bundles of planetary materials for doing other stuff on that planet (pvp/strikes set on that planet), or let you exchange some other resource for them (glitter etc), cool. Bungie, being smart, will surely include some such method.
