Netcode has been gradually improving but isn't perfect. Proximity voice is probably never going to happen, and no one would use it if it did.

The netcode's been dying for me for awhile now. Could do all this stuff perfectly months ago but now I'm getting that Beetle error every other day, and seeing where poo poo like it takes forever for the social space to load and suddenly everyone's dumped into the entrance or a strike suddenly lagging out and everyone's dumped back a checkpoint. I have no idea if it's my connection or Bungie's servers are just dying.

It's probably you because the servers Bungie does has are in AWS, and the actual game is run p2p.

Best case it's the people you're playing with.. there's fewer people playing the game so you're more likely to get stuck with some red bar piece of poo poo on the other side of the planet.

Oh, that might be the case. I've got 300 down/100 up, never had that problem before back in the Summer when I was doing raid stuff, and the last time I looked at my party after the Beetle thing happened earlier today the only other guy was a red bar player. It was just really weird that one time I loaded the Iron Mountain social space and it took like 5 minutes and when it finally did load like a dozen people all simultaneously dropped down by the fire and stood around confused before running off to do whatever. Didn't know what to make of it.

I tried soloing CE a few months ago and I couldn't get past the death singer. Not sure if they mentioned this in previous updates or not, but the liturgy of ruin activates waaaaay faster than it used to. I kept running out of time before I could put any real damage on her.

I soloed Crota's End a few months back as a Titan for Flawless Raider and I thought Death Singer was simple enough to take care of. When you enter Crota's chamber, you jump up the wall to the left, dip into the left chamber to kill the death gem and bait out the witch, run to the back left upper chamber to avoid the death blast and take out the witch from afar (or maybe it was bait out the witch first then kill the gem) and then you circle around the back of the room to the upper right chamber to avoid aggroing the Death Singer, then you repeat the process with the right chamber. When the Liturgy begins, you run in the chamber, jump on the sarcophagus facing the center chamber and, if the Death Singer didn't get aggroed, you can just dump some sniper rounds into her head from atop the sarcophagus to kill her. It took me a few tries to get it down right because sometimes I'd move incorrectly and the Death Singer would move away from her default position and I'd be hosed. It was kind of tricky though to get down.

Bungie's said you get to keep your character (if they're past level 20 and beat the year 1 campaign) but will also have "veteran honors" planned for those who played in Destiny 1 which I assume to mean you can keep your grimoire score and maybe we'll give you an emblem. Or maybe it'll be like Final Fantasy 14 where you get a different opening cutscene if you came from the original version.

Hope Bungie knows what they're doing, they haven't released an in-house PC game since 2001. Then again, their first try at PS3 was more or less perfect so they probably have a handle on this.

There's a rumor that there's 3 studios in total working on Destiny 2 content, not just Bungie and Vicarious Visions, so I'd totally believe the third one would be some cheapo studio doing the PC port.

It's because Sony signed a major partnership deal with Activision at the beginning of this console generation. It's the reason why Destiny and Call of Duty trailers are shown at PlayStation Events pretty much exclusively outside of Activision's initial reveals. Same reason the Crash Bandicoot remake is even happening.

iirc Sony has said they treat Destiny like a surrogate first party (homegrown) franchise and had some weird advertising agreement where it's only legally allowed to advertise the game for being on PlayStation. I remember Microsoft got in poo poo a few years back doing some wink-wink perfume ad that was actually a Destiny ad.

Officially developers aren't allowed to give PS4 Pro users an edge over PS4 Peasants but sometimes you get situations like Battlefield 1 where it just happens anyway.

Anybody actually done the Gorgon cheese in VoG? We've tried it a couple times now and I guess we suck at cheesing things

Yeah, I've done it a couple of times with groups. There's a couple of videos on YouTube but the idea is that you have everyone except one person return to orbit, the remaining person runs through the maze solo, reaches the jumping puzzle to come out of the darkness, then double back to the original passageway. It'll be blocked, but at this point you just stand by the blocked passage (some videos have the guy kill themselves with a grenade to make sure the respawn status stuck) and everyone then rejoins on that guy, where they'll spawn in at the beginning of the maze with the respawn status intact. The last guy transfers fireteam leader status, jumps out, and hops back in to join the group. At this point everyone can have fun killing stuff but when you're done everyone has to return to orbit and come back because the blocked passageway will remain blocked and you need to restart at the checkpoint as a group to revert the world state. This means the gorgons will come back, but at that point you'll have your node cleared so just run the maze as usual.
