What’s sad is Cayde is actually the Serious One. It’s Zavala that’s the comedy relief of the game.

It's a testament to how bad Bungie is with telling a story that very few people realize that Cayde clowns around to cope with his robo-Alzheimer's that makes him do things like write letters addressed to someone he doesn't know is his son who died centuries ago

A buddy wants me to play this game, but the "come back on September 4" OP is giving me pause. Is it cool to buy in now and what is my best angle? Are there expansion deals or packages or passes or other dumb poo poo I need?

ICR
Dec 31, 2008

Hi I’m an OP. Original Prankster.

So, you absolutely can buy in now. Just know we have some major systems changes coming. You may get used to something and then realize it’s going to be changing 1-2 weeks later.

If you’re OK with that, you can get leveling, doing some unique quests and warming up for the “launch of the real game” on September 4th.

Weapons systems changes into effect next week.

ICR
Dec 31, 2008

And I forgot: You can either buy The Forsaken Collection which is the full game. It will have D2, Expansions 1+2 AND Forsaken.

If you bought all separately, you’re overpaying hard.

Forsaken Collection is $59.99
If you buy separate (and you’ll NEED all of this), you’re paying about $10-$20 more.

Cheapest way to get it if in the Americas is at Humble Bundle if you subscribe to Monthly: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/destiny-2-forsaken-legendary-collection

Cheapest way to get it if in Europe and surrounding is on CDKEYS for $44.

Apologies for a triple post. It happens.

Y1 Weapons are being confirmed by a developer as of an hour ago that they won’t accept Y2 mods. There have been some conflicting reports on this from one dev saying they will and one saying they won’t. Whose side are you on????

Hi OP! Don't get attached to anything except my character level, got it.

My friend gave me a follow-up elevator pitch that the game is "Halo meets Borderlands 2 with Nathon Fillion" so I'm, uh, in. :awesome:

It doesn't look like there's an option to buy the base game separately if I want to be cautious/dumb though? $60 is a bit steep for me and I see no D2 a la carte on Bnet, just expansions and the Forsaken Collection. Am I missing anything?

ICR

You would be correct on all of this. You are either buying all separately or buying the Foreskin Collection.

Can't buy all separately if there's no base game listed at all. Looks like it's buy the Foreskin Collection or buy the Foreskin Collection.

Year 2 armor mods will be able to be slotted into both Year 1 and Year 2 armor mod slots.

Y1 mods will become deprecated on the 28th but the slots themselves will remain. Presumably, Bungie realized that making Y1's last big hurrah be to grind for a fancy armor set and then immediately render that armor set worthless was a bad idea.

You're not wrong but unlike other MMOs I've actually developed a fondness for several of the Y1 guns because of how they handle. Other than poo poo having progressively louder colors in its name I've never given gently caress one about my weapon in an MMO after "Oh good now I have it."

It's poo poo. It's not really worth complaining about, but it's dumb.

You follow the path

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment

when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I gotta say, the Destiny Facebook community is really underrated and consistently has good content like that. I'd even say it borders, 'spicy' sometimes.

I mean yeah, but y1 armor won't get the perks of y2 armor, which means it will still be slightly worse.

E: also for people just starting, I think forsaken is supposed to come with a character boost so you can immediately start with the expansion and don't need to grind you way through the base game if you don't want to.

It will, and unlike the Spark from TK it skips the base game + CoO/WM campaigns for that character.
