See? I know how stupid and bad Bungho is!

And that's all my message has been about, the perspective that we knew this was going to be a trek. We can be unhappy about it until we reach the destination,

gently caress this is the dumbest goddamn thing ive read all week. Take this life is a journey bullshit and stuff it. The game was bought assuming that the base game would operate if not on the level of the last game then pretty close. And as everyone has seen that is truly not the loving case.

This is some weird rear end bungie apologist nonsense and its weirding me out. Whatever this pile of crap is it isnt good and its destination is the garbage can.

This is a journey to good and i am in my little oasis i think as i solo drop against 3 void hunters and one rando all with midas uriels and cluster rockets.

Someday i will cross this desert to a land of bounty i think playing savathuns song for the 400th time.

Mercury is like the desert i contemplate staring at nothing while i attack a yellow bar since there is only a single event in the dlc map and its not running.

This is good i think sucking down two tokens and a blue.

Has anyone has any luck trying to get characters recovered if your account was not hacked nor the characters manually deleted? I lost my characters when I logged in yesterday and Bungie's support article tells me that they do not recover characters for any reason. I don't want to lose all the time and progress I spent on the game.

If they can't, well I'm giving the game up.

Yes, I did check that. I even made a new character and rushed to the Farm. All the items in my vault are still there, but anything that was equipped on my Hunter and Titan are toast.

I guess I should feel lucky to have not played D1 ever?

I've been having quite a bit of fun playing this game, without having a chance to even try either of the raids. The only real gripes I have is PVP should be 6v6, and it doesn't seem like my 335 Uriels is any stronger than when it was my 290 Uriels. It would also be nice if I had friends, because doing the Nightfall with randoms with no mics is not very fun. Hopefully my new BDSM goon-mates will help in that department.

This is correct, the number on the gun doesn't matter in PVP. Even in D1 in the modes where it did the effect was very minor except across large level ranges.

D1 is absolutely terrific but it does make D2 hideous by comparison.

6v6 coming sooner than later so yay.

https://youtu.be/-N-bg8Vn2os this will explain that 335 vs 290 feel.

Yeah, play with others and have fun. You seem a chill boi, you'll be in good company.

Yeah, if anything the problem with D2 (coming from someone who didn't play d1) was it felt like they hadn't played enough good modern games. It still felt like I was playing halo with a few things Bungie may have heard about bolted on rather than actually implementing things like mobility or powers in a fun and good way.

How many times did you get caught up on some fiddly bit of geometry or get launched in random directions because they used some shareware physics engine when trying to actually run and gun in the campaign? I eventually learned it wasn't worth it to try and do the cool things, just plink away from outside of cover then duck back to regen health.

Hell even cover shooters have gotten better with actual ways to interact with cover.

To be fair that is almost the standard for early access stuff at this point.

To be unfair this is a AAA game by an established studio and it feels like they didnt even know they were releasing some days.

So... I get my PS4 back from the PS4 repair factory tomorrow and get to start playing D2 again.
Other than the last two weeks, what did I miss? Something about 6v6? Will there be man-able turrets and maps larger than speed ball?


Also, the PS4 factory warrantee covers you're dog breaking your USB port by ripping out the cable. Just an FYI.

A lot of promises

Has "I get killed too quickly using my super! :qq:" been a thing with people or what? I'm just trying to wrap my head around how turning some supers into tanks has been the priority instead of, oh I dunno, making more than a handful of guns the only viable options in crucible in a game about collecting guns.

Not bitter, though. I'm still gonna play the crap out of IB. With Nameless/PO/SotP, just like everyone else. Or maybe we'll see people shake things up with a MIDA/Uriels, or even a Purpose/Last Hope/Colony. The possibilities are endless existent!

What's stopping you just staying logged in and not actively playing? It looks like it's just completed matches, not matches won.
I've been seeing heaps of AFK players in crucible lately, maybe this explains it.

I don't think there would be any way to catch up at this point though, that top person has quite the lead.
