People legit want more stuff to grind for, there was a thread today about wanting raid specific perks on gear again, people want randomized perks again, levelling weapon perks.. the list is basically endless.

I have to assume, given a few sidequests and poo poo, that we'll be going back to Mars.

also wtf is the canon scrubbing going on with Warminds, I think there was a line about a Warmind vault in a mission but Zavala says "nah there's just 1 Warmind and that's it" yet we're going inside a vault on like, Io or something. Why is there a vault for a non-existent Warmind?

I don't remember exactly what was said but IIRC the state of things in Destiny 1 was that there *were* multiple warminds but only Rasputin survived into the present.

There's a line in D2 how there is only one warmind, but it fragmented during the collapse. So I guess there's pieces of Rasputin on each planet kinda doing their own thing? :iiam:

oh right, the empty vaults from the 1st game were mentioned. I guess more will come from Expansion 2, which has the symbol of Rasputin on it

There's also apparently different dialogue depending on if you completed first game/expansions, so people that didn't play Taken King get a bigger explanation of the Blight and stuff like that.

The issue with most of bungie's dialogue is all of it sounds like it was recorded in isolation. Like the voice actors all recorded their lines solo and it's never heard together until after bungie pastes it all together for the game.

So sometimes the inflection and emotion are wayyyy off the mark and we're all forced to process how unnatural everything feels.

ive been playing with magnuts tying to change the wold as we know it

The story stuff definitely seems more interesting in this one. Some of the side adventures have been more interesting than lots of the main story content. That said... if I was pressed to explain the Adventures on IO I did yesterday, I'd have a hard time doing it. Uh, the Taken are abducting the Vex and converting them and I guess this is news? I guess I'm supposed to ignore that Taken groups out in the wild usually have Vex Goblins and Minotaurs in them.

I'd pay money for DLC to change the Ghost's voice to Gilbert Gottfried, Danny DeVito, or Joe Pesci.

Failsafe perky personality is a hundred times funnier than the intentional teenage emo sarcasm.

Hearing her strain around the limits of her programming, especially with making GBS threads in Cayde, is brilliant.

Nolan North (Ghost) is a great voice actor who has been in a million things, but he's probably best known as Nathan drake. The ghost has too much of a jokey tone, not that I want it to be completely serious either, I wonder if there's any lore stating that all the ghosts are kinda jokey or what.

Asher Mir is played by a Darryl Kurylo, who has a bunch of random secondary roles in video games, he was also Belial in Diablo 3.

Gideon Emery plays Devrim Kay, he's also Urianger in Final Fantasy XIV and was a villain in Teen Wolf.

Failsafe is Joy Osmanski, she did a lot of TV and Film work as secondary characters.

Venture bros is voiced by like five people, all the core characters are just the same guys doing different voices. James Urbank was Venture, Phantom Limb and David Bowie among many others.

I can't remember what lore item it is but I distinctly remember reading one in Destiny 2 where it's two Guardians talking about exploring and one explains how his Ghost talks and the other is shocked to hear that their Ghost talks in the exact same way that their own does. I think it's canon that all Ghosts are just Nolan North.

And because the ghosts are fragments of the traveler, the traveler is nolan north.

DIM was a god tier in Destiny 1 and nothing Bungie put out for D1 came close to being user friendly as DIM. You might be waiting for some time for something decent that's not third party.

If you refuse to use some "third party poo poo", I can't imagine how lovely your D2 experience is. DIM and Ishtar Commander are so much more polished and better than trying to manage your inventory in-game.

The best thing Bungie ever created for D1/D2 was the open API.

Works like a charm! It also pops up a message saying my browser's not supported.

All I asked for was a way to better sort items in the vault, you don't have to deflect anything away from Bungie by pointing to third party tools. Like what goes though your mind to make you respond that way? "Be happy with what you have"? I don't get it. It's poo poo the way it is. "Newest", "Rarity" and whatever the third one is, none of those are particularly useful when you have a page of poo poo. Why can't we sort by slot, or type? It would be an hour's work.

I didn't say I wouldn't use it, my point was that "I'd like this perfectly reasonable small quality of life feature to be in the actual game" shouldn't be met with "just use a third party tool." No, gently caress that, it should be in the game.

I use Ishtar Commander, but my specific use case of "I don't remember if I have this weapon already so I want to check if I have a lower power version to dismantle" isn't even solved in any way by that app because it has exactly the same problem!

I haven't used the in game vault since DIM was available. I am using ishtar commander now though. I think bungie knows how bad the vault is and just doesn't give a poo poo because they have third party dudes making great apps.

Yeah my clan has it down now where if we aren't doing the entire raid + all chests in under 90 minutes we're clearly having an off night.

The fact that every encounter in the raid sans Gauntlets can be "1-phased" is much appreciated.
