I wonder if bosses still have melee attacks at close range, cause if they do it makes pole dancer hunter that much more useless.

I saw the minotaur one from the strike ground pound and send the guy flying outside the arena into the Vex jizz. So I'm going to say yes they do.

So you could wait 3 years and buy the full game, and guess what, it'll be $60 then too and you won't have anything to complain about, other than lack of people to play with.

Or don't buy the game and go away, I don't give a poo poo

Obviously I haven't touched the game yet, but I'm having a hard time imaging a scenario where a fusion rifle would be the weapon of choice for the power slot. I can maybe see running a shotgun or sniper in PVP, or definitely a sniper in some raid encounters for example. But why use a fusion rifle, even if the damage gets turned way up, in a world where rockets and grenade launchers exist? Other than to just gently caress around?

Seems to be that kinetic and energy weapons can drop from the same pool (AR, HC, SR, SMG, etc.) and the only difference is that it either drops elemental or it doesn't. And from what I've heard, you can't equip an elemental gun in the kinetic slot.

I suppose there's a chance that there will be weapon types that are strictly kinetic or energy, but there aren't any that I'm aware of yet.

I wonder if there'll be a year 3 moments of triumph, or if the big book was basically it. I had no problem completing the last two as a nice little primer for the upcoming new release. The difference being that the MoT books were manageable in like a weekend, whereas that big fuckoff AoT book is, to me, a big "nope".

In this case I express my enjoyment for such things by playing them (a lot), and not by making myself even more easily identified as a dingus.

A couple little things I noticed watching strike gameplay..

-You still have the completely meaningless level number displayed on the waypoint marker for your name, gg Bungie
-UI color seems to be determined based on subclass, so Striker titan has blue icons, Gunslinger has orange, etc. This is extremely good if you are a dummy like me and frequently forget what subclass you are playing.
-I'd give my right nut to be able to turn off ghost dialogue
-Harpies deal void damage now with a sentinel beam style laser rather than solar auto rifle style
-Titan barrier wall provides visual feedback for damage taken
-Spotted some Vex Fanatics in the strike, they were only present in VoG previously
-Looks like the dream is dead for an emote wheel (at least for this particular build)

Also I definitely heard somebody say that they were moving back to more of connection based matchmaking, but I've been watching/listening to so much of this crap that I can't remember what the source was. Fingers crossed, anyway.

I hope they have a plan for colorblind users, should probably change the shape as well.

To clarify just a bit, it's not the color of the entire UI. Only the boxes of unspent abilities are filled in with the color of your current subclass. But I agree, accessibility options are good.

I also just want to say, as the guy that struggles with callout names, that I am immensely pleased that they added callout names under the radar and for power ammo pickups.

Nah, player created names are always the best.

Like "a-hole" to describe that broken hole in the wall next to A on rusted lands.

Or butthole on dungeons.

While I agree that player created names are better, I always forget what things are called in the heat of battle and always end up saying "They're.. uh... mid?" That one little piece of information being immediately accessible is going to help me, personally, a whole lot.

It certainly is at least partially a case of me being a dumbass. The text is in extremely close proximity to the radar though, and my eyes tend to be up that way a lot, so I think it might help a little.

I got an incredible amount of stuff over the last few raids that I've done. It is a pretty stark contrast from the days of vanilla, where you could run a raid multiple times in a week and literally get nothing but materials to upgrade the gear that you don't have.

Nothing ever will, those guns in particular were OP as gently caress, and I think Bungie learned their lesson with that one. I can appreciate that they've come up with some good unique perks/ combos for raid weapons since, though. I'm eager to see some Cabal raid weapons.

That article on exotics is an interesting read. I would hate to see Three of Coins go away because it's a really good way of leveling characters, but I would like to see them perhaps shrink the pool of gear that can decrypt from exotic engrams. Grinding 3oC definitely took out some of the enjoyment that you get when something unique drops. I'd also like to see more Sleeper Sim-like quests, and I think Black Spindle in particular was my favorite, just because the idea of secret exits in levels reminds me of Super Mario World and is extremely my poo poo, plus the final encounter of that quest was pretty dang difficult the first time it was available (although having to restart the whole mission was a bit crap).
