The Nightfall activity is also being revisited for Season 4. Prestige difficulty is being retired, but the base difficulty for the Nightfall activity will increase. Additionally, players will have the ability to choose one of three Nightfall strikes each week. If there’s a specific Nightfall Unique Reward that a given player is hunting for, this reduces the time they have to wait for the strike to be featured again. Legacy players will still be able to enable modifiers via their Challenge Card.

That's all quite interesting to me! Only OG Players can activate modifiers in Nightfall going forward?

EDIT: Oh wait, they're saying that Vanilla-Only players will be able to activate modifiers in a special 270 NF for Vanilla scrubs.

Good Hunter, what... what is this post?
I was like wtf about the token/mats stuff, but if they just straight up replace tokens with mats and you get the same amount from rewards and whatnot, that's fine

but laffo at anyone who complains about chuck-e-cheese tokens ruining the feel of their silly spaceman dress and dance shoot game, I mean it's the same poo poo now and it was the same poo poo in D1 and it'll be the same poo poo, just calling it different names doesn't change the smell

On one hand this is lame.

On the other hand it's ok since the guns you get now have random rolls and some of them are going to actually be interesting and good.

I always like the early D1 mantra of "you get legendary poo poo less often but its way more satisfying".

Rather than getting legendaries shat all over you but they are all trash.

"Way back in early July 2017, game director Luke Smith spoke about this issue in an interview. "How can my second, third, and tenth Better Devils hand cannon be interesting?" he said. "That's a question we should be asking and answering as quickly as we can... We have ideas. While I would like nothing more than to share those ideas with you, we're up against [a deadline]. I don't know if they'll make it for our Sept. 6 [2017] date. But we have some ideas that we're pretty excited about."

They've got less than a month to get those ideas finalized!

I get a good laugh out of the situation. They identified a big problem before launch, and completely failed to fix it. Whoopsy!

Also makes me good and skeptical when they promise anything, since he ~~Had Ideas~~ that he totally wished he could've shared with you (but didn't really)

That TWAB was good.

It was detailed. Honest. Gave us their goals. Gave specifics.

Real good poo poo. Finally.

I think Forsaken is the D2 we all wanted 12 months ago and I'm actually excited.

Just need confirmation that radar is coning back to comp and I'll be completely satisfied.

You missed the part where they're removing radar from all modes?

While Warmind overcorrected in some ways, mostly everything bad about D2 was from catering to the "I work 27 hours a day and have 72 kids and can only play 30 seconds a day " crowd. Games like this need investment in the gear and everything they're doing regarding that sounds good.

Yeah.

And coincidently those are the people who play the game for a week and move on.

Anyways. I get the feeling this has finally sunk into bungie.

the new ib power play is actually good

current power play: u get it and the other team instantly caps their spawn point

new ib power play: u get it and get 20 seconds to slay out

gently caress yeah, carefully creeping your way all the way to Ghaul to finish the blue armor grind and getting booted to orbit once you start the fight.

This is, sadly, more important to me than bettering myself.

All I'm getting from this is that they're prepping for Destiny 2 to become a F2P game with a P2W PvP endgame via Iron Banner.

The good news is there's more 385+ randoms around to do EP because of Solstice but the bad news is they can't clear the final boss either

I've only been able to find randoms by reloading the instance over and over. It's mostly been:

"oh good there's people doing EP"
*quickly checks their power levels*

A+ design right there. Certainly wouldn't want to do a matchmaking playlist for an event like this, or maybe make it doable by random scrubs you encounter on patrol.

Nah, instead let's force people to exploit the patrol matchmaking to get 6+ friends into the same instance. THIS IS GOOD DESIGN.
