Is the super digital edition worth those bucks? It does come with the pass included, eh?

For me, besides getting a bunch of edge transits, Forsaken has been "oops, all sidearms" for me.

I keep getting the Grenade Launchers Edge of Transit and Play of The Game. I would like another linear fusion or rocket launcher.

Yes. It’s worth it. You know you’ll be playing this poo poo constantly.

Trying to talk myself into being okay with bounties, and failing. The initial D2 system of "press E to see what crap to do" seems great in comparison.

My issue is the lack of travel points near vendors (annoying for Spider/Petra) and the relatively long load times for a bounty run to the City. If you could buy them while in orbit, that would alleviate a lot of the time farting around in loading screens.

I know Bummey. Marriage will do these kinds of crazy things. Pedicures, controller gaming for PC, never playing the games you shill, replacing a picture of your wedding day with a Platinum Trophy for Dark Souls 2. It’s a wild life.

Also, people please keep your eyes out for any discounts on Forsaken or previous expansion passes for me please. I usually can find these deals easily but I want to keep gifting. Help a bro bro out.

Quick question, but with all the Pre Order forsaken stuff saying you get Cayde's Secret Stash stuff, where/when were we supposed to get that? Seems like it was different than the Ace of Spades quest/item/look and all so I am just curious.

^ (Does the 10% Humble Monthly discount code count? If anyone needs it I can share mine.)

What do heroic public events give that is better than doing them regular? The increased chance at better drops seems really not worth the time and effort it takes, particularly when it's just 2-3 people doing the event. It's really fuckin tough to basically solo taken blight.

Heroic events mattered more in year one when completing public events was a way to earn Powerful Gear but they’re pretty worthless in year two.

There was an accidental false reset for crucible, story, and gambit weekly challenges Saturday at 5pm. The mission to do 3x or 5x of the activities appeared in your game again, and if you completed it, you did not get a powerful reward, and you were unable to do it on Tuesday after the reset

Today they fixed it and gave everyone affected by it the chance to do 3x gambit missions or 5x crucible matches or whatever

Apparently that nerf a few days ago was only part one of a slight rework that was done in order to prevent huge raid cheese

Supposedly part two of that rework is coming next week and will involve us somehow creating MORE EXPLOSIONS :torgue:

Is it just a rotating thing? I want to say on Tuesday I had one to do crucible, one to do strike, and one to do a heroic adventure on the patrol planet. I'm not sure if I saw any dailies yesterday.

the annoying thing is my brain is still lizard-wired such that once i'm done with my daily powerful on the titan and i've made a bit of weekly progress, i go 'welp guess i gotta go find something else to play' instead of, y'know, having fun with the titan?? :C

One new daily appears every day!

There are 4 different activities that it rotates between, and they will remain in your director, so if you don't play for 4 days you will see all four available

So the way I *think* it works is that yeah, it's a rotating thing. Today is Gambit, tomorrow is either Crucible, Strike, or Heroic, then the day after that is one of the two that it wasn't the day before, and the day after that is the last one of those three, then it's Gambit again.

Extremely same. I always try to throw an old knife at a moving target and overcompensate by like four dude lengths. Ah hah.

90% of my missed knifes were because they landed in their shoulder or chest instead of their head. Now I tend to have a knife fly by a dude by an inch on both sides without hitting him.
