Yeah you start right before the boss area and run all the way back to the start. The platforms aren't in the raid though.

High Moon revamped that expansion Mars space into Io for D2. They even kept the names of the zones for the most part. You can see the design in a TTK pvp map that takes place in the same named space with the Pyramidion in the background, it was just on Mars. EDIT: https://www.destinypedia.com/Crossroads. Almost all of the assets from this map were reskinned and repurposed into Io, as they were made for D1's original 2nd major expansion, Vex Void. The theme for that expansion eventually became the Season of Undying, including it's intro cinematic. Vicarious Visions created Warmind. It's Mars space was entirely new (but obviously based on Bungie's work for Mars in D1). RocketRaygun fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Mar 6, 2023 |

Give d2 to VV/HMS to take care of forever imo. Before this release I simply wanted them to be involved again but now I'd prefer them be the ones driving the bus and crushing bungie beneath the wheels of their success

I'm not all the way through Lightfall but Strand kind feels. . . okay, as a Hunter. Tangle's handy, Super is basically the kusarigama version of Arc Staff, grappling is whatever. As far as Darkness subclasses go I like Stasis way more. It's a lot more conducive to my playstyle of zipping around and controlling the battlefield by freezing things. Silence and Squall is tied with Blade Barrage as my favorite super. The campaign has had its frustrating moments but it hasn't been bad, just not hitting the high notes that Witch Queen did.

I wonder if something is also going on with the QSS grenades - they aren't giving bonkers damage numbers, but i've been one-shotting blights in the battleground, and the oracles in Terminal Overload, when special ammo weapons or primary fire feel like they take much more to bring those down.

Other games they've touched I've thoroughly enjoyed, so there's obv some bias there but it's not like it isn't earned imo. Idfk what bungie is doing but destiny feels like it's on cash cow product status to them and not main labor of love. Whatever they're working on outside of d2 can die in a fire for all I care, I'm just becoming a salt elemental adept because I really want the drat game to be what it definitely has the ability to be.

abraham linksys posted:Sony should be given these studios as part of the Microsoft/Activision deal, as well as the Tony Hawk license It's not my favorite, but Warmind was an improvement over Red War and Curse of Osiris. I still have a lingering fondness for Extinction Protocol. It just suffered from the anemic postgame of year 1 content, where there wasn't much reason to keep playing after you've beaten the campaign. gently caress that RNG based triumph for the warmind nodes though.

Collateral Damage posted:Yeah exotics were never sunset (though some of them have been somewhat left behind by power creep) so you can still use your favorite year 1 exotics and just need to infuse them to bring the power level up.

Do Dune Marchers not proc on Sunbreaker hammer throw anymore? I thought they did. And I cannot believe Ashen Wake still has no skins. I loved my fastball hammer build in BL, but drat they are ugly and go with nothing.

I'd love to read about tbh, but I don't for one second believe that they are solely to blame for those errors. Either way, mistakes were made lol. Bungie still rear end, they don't have to be they choose to be. Destiny is a lesson in happy accidents that I'll keep playing and that's my own fault on that last point.

What are good weapons for an Asjen Wake/Sunbreaker throw “hammer and fireball” build? I’ve been using Monte Carlo, but if I’m hammering correctly I don’t need to worry about melee energy too much. I have a couple Legendary’s with Demolitionist on it, but I don’t love any of them. I feel like AR/Shotgun is a good combo, with something heavy hitting for my Heavy, like two-tailed fox. I need Gallarhjorn still, I’m like halfway through that quest.

Right it was a big buildup to this expansion and then the campaign essentially taught us strand and did nothing much else that really mattered? Someone upthread said the campaign should have started after the cutscene that ends it and that would definitely be better
