I like how the campaign's ending pans to the Reef for a bit because the campaign forgot about them. :v:

Obviously next zones we'll be going to will be Mercury, Mars, the Reef, and the Dreadnaught.

So with infusions lets say:

Gun A: Exotic gun level 210
Gun B: legendary gun with level 265

If I infuse gun A with gun B, will gun A automatically become 265? Or is it like D1 where it will only raise to like '242' or '251' or some other intermediate number?

As far as my infusions have gone, it always goes to 265 or whatever the infusee is. This might be jacked up if you have mods that do stuff like raise power by 5. Also I actually don't recall if I infused exotics so maybe i'm way off, but it's prob the same.

To continue my insane domination of multiposts on this page, it would be cool if the reef was like earth: it has a social zone and a patrol zone sorta in one thing. It'd be interesting if the subzones in this reef weren't connected like the subzones on every other planet, you actually had to use the ship to fast travel or some kind of warp thing to go to different asteroids.

Also it would be cool, aesthetically, but kind of a jerkoff thing to implement: whenever you fast traveled in a zone your ship would fly over where you were and transmat you out, then keep going and transmat you into the other spot. Then more people could check out your sweet ship shaders, and you'd get a general idea about how active a planet was just by looking up. Like how the ship drops you off almost every mission

Hey warlocks, just got a Starfire Protocol and in addition to the extra fusion nade, a fusion nade kill completely refills your rift charge.

Seems extremely good for raiding imho. Extremely.

Yeah I have one too. It looks really nice too.

I almost soloed the glimmer public event with the arc exotic risk runner. All the arc damage coming my way and then triggering chain lightning on the ads. It was pretty amazing. But the main boss gets in the way and you end up eating it in the end.

Infusion is 1:1

BUT there are mods that sometimes come preslotted that add +5 damage. So gun A is actually level 205, because exotics always come with that mod. Gun B might actually be 260, depending on if it has the mod. Infusions don't take these into account and the mods on Gun B will be destroyed.

So if gun B has the mod, its actually 260, and infusing it into Gun A will make it 265 (because it will become 260 but still has its own +5 mod) but if it does not have the mod, Gun A will actually become 270.

Hopefully that makes sense. It's not actually complicated at all but its hard to explain without making it seem like it is.

My favourite bit was when it panned to Saturn and you can see Oryx's dreadnought and the bigass hole in the rings is still there. I want to say you can see it from Titan too but that may have just been a shadow from one of the other moons.

You wouldn't on the real Titan, it's orbit is huge and is in the same plane as the rings.

But maybe they took creative liberties in Destiny.

I have secret leaks that prove all planetary loading screens will be bullet hells of various types. If you're loading into the same planet you get an R-type. If it's between planets you get Tempest. Upgrading your ship is with gold dust/ silver, and repairs are automatic but cost glimmer. If you die you get dumped out of your fireteam and emergency warped to the Tower.

This is correct. You can trade your blues for purple mods and then use those on your gear. You'll want dupes of each where possible. Buying up those rando blues though gets spendy

Any of the weekly "powerful gear" milestones can drop gear above that, I think. The Flashpoint, Crucible, Strikes, etc.

Speaking of, they reset on Tuesdays right? So I might as well do them even though I'm not at the cap yet?

You should apply the +5 mods now (if you happen to have any) just to boost up your baseline level.

If you're so eager to avoid any sort of communication with other people the nightfall won't be a good jam for you anyway. The first nightfall of D2 requires actual teamwork and coordination beyond shoot mans and shoot harder. Regardless I wish at some point Bungie would let you people queue up for nightfalls just like a regular strike so you could experience how loving awful it would be.

You're misinterpreting, I just don't know anyone that plays this game so assembling my own group is difficult. I thought it was pretty obviously implied that I would like to grab 2 others and do this thing.

Is there a ton of content to chew through or some game mode that still needs to be released that critics are waiting for?

Are there any good looking Jumpship models? There's like only five and they all suck and all the variants are just paint jobs. At least in D1 they would swap out the wings or tape-on a missile launcher. I miss my Vic Viper Kestrel CXO so I could pretend I was playing Gradius during loading screens.

I honestly thought that bungo might have gotten over this no-matchmaking nonsense but that was naive of me admittedly. Their excuses for not including it are bullshit, in D1 I would effectively matchmake myself using whatever that website was or play with goons. I played in a LOT of groups where at least one person didn’t have a headset so the whole “teamwork / coordination” excuse doesn’t fly. Was it frustrating on occasion? Sure. Would have been less frustrating to not have to use a 3rd party website to find randos though. They need to stop treating players like a bunch of babbys

I honestly feel like this was meant to make it look to the average player that nightfall was something they really had to work for. If they had matchmaking it would be over too quickly for most of the player base making it pointless

Both.
Reviews are normally done quite quickly - often the day of release or sometimes even before - because copies are sent out to the reviewers well in advance
A lot of reviewers got early copies but decided to try and retain some semblance of credibility by waiting until the live servers are up and reviewing based on their experiences on those. There's also a shitload of content that takes a solid week or so of some journo working 9 to 5. There's also some game modes that are yet to open up, such as trials of the nine, the leviathan raid, the clan features, the tower factions and guided games. There's also better understanding of formerly controversial issues coming to light and was vastly overstated because of wrong initial impressions (the bright engrams for silver thing)

Any review that's currently out shouldn't be taken seriously and has near zero credibility, even if it's gushingly positive.
