What's Destiny's bang-for-buck ratio compared to FFXIV? The steam-page says it's an MMO so by gently caress I'll compare them.

As a sick person I am currently playing both. Someone help me :(

Destiny is prettier environments, FFXIV has better music - gameplay too different to be compared.

Apologies if this has been asked ad nauseum, but are there any good PVE-leaning clans out there looking for peeps? Myself and two other goons (Savinwraith and XBlade) are looking for a more active clan than the random one we hooked up with.

I quite like this expansion. I'm not a fan of certain parts of it, but there is a lot of stuff to do int his first week and it doesn't seem like it'll abate any time soon.

Check out the discords in the OP. Serious Overchill is the main one and we do basically everything in the game.

Expansion is fine, it's more destiny. If you liked destiny before you'll like this. If you're jaded and bitter that the game doesn't suck your dick or lick your clit every release, you'll hate it.

There's definitely something more to come, since it seems like we only get one of 2 stasis aspects right now? (and I assume there might be more then that.)

Also, once you get an aspect, you can get weekly quests for fragments, with a choice between vanguard, gambit and crucible.

The Vanguard ones feel like they're gonna be grindy. Have to be done in strikes, and one of my reqs needs champions. (90 Super Final Blows, 80 Shatter Final Blows, 35 Stasis Melee Kills) and (100 Solar Final, 10 Champions Defeated with Stasis, 50 Slowed Combatants Defeated)

There was like an absolute poo poo ton of news and talk about how stuff was being removed and lots of "get poo poo done before the expansion!!!" :v:

On a similar note, with the whipser and ZH missions gone, I looked at my catalyst progress for whatever reason:

ZH's SIVA particulate requirement is straight gone, you just need 500 precision kills (I just got the catalyst) but Whisper's will just be unobtainable until they bring it back or do something, I guess.

Huge win here because I gave up on the OB catalyst due to the god drat jumping section of the quest.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

That quote is from fucking 2018. Fuck you Jim
Pillbug
Fuckers have already nerfed that widows walk thing. Put my 1200 guns on my warlock alt and figured I'd be able to grind the remaining ~80 odd light quickly this morning. Did one run and got a purple and a blue, figured everything was still ok. Did another 7 runs after that and not a single item from either the boss, his adds, nor the cache.

Oh well at least my titan is 1200 and warlock is now at 1150 so that's good.

Edit: helps if I notice that was already posted earlier this page

Very American mindset in here of "as long as the people I hate are suffering it is GOOD that I am suffering too"

My buddy Sean/another fairly popular streamer wants to speak his mind too but he literally can't write anything disparaging about Destiny, as a result of them putting his likeness in game. Honestly I'd take that trade too but it's funny listening to him rage in the group chat and know he's gonna have to put out glowing reviews

i am enjoying the tears of pvp streamers because seriously go play a better game what are you even doing, but also, i hope they nerf stasis to fix stuff

would be the most bungie thing to just leave it broken as poo poo for 3 months though

(actually the most bungie thing would be to just disable stasis in pvp for a season)

e: also, while i'm not that annoyed by the lack of new loot, it is super loving funny to me that they managed to sunset every (?) legendary machine gun and then had daily machine gun bounties on both europa and gunsmith

for me Crucible does not exist. and it's been the trend that recent "kill X guardians" quest steps have also allowed it in Gambit which is far more tolerable (assuming you only play for quests and bounties and don't really care about winning). so none of it will matter to people like me

I don't know why Gladd or Gothalion care about Stasis in PVP. They play PVE 99% of the time anyway.
