I mean they just took a snapshot of players currently in activities at a certain time each day, that's really not a good metric for anything

Or maybe not people are bad at interpreting stuff and I shouldn't trust people

That's not what was being measured dude. They took the number of unique accounts in ANY activity over a 24hr period and split that up into PvE and PvP.


It's not a perfect stat and people were in fact using it wrong but the trend line for the stat is a pretty valid way to measure the health of a game. There's a reason almost every online fps tracks it.

some dipshit said that and I trusted them, that's what I get for not wanting to watch a three minute video

Cuz thats how I play D2

No, doesn't count if you only hit the tower too, need to enter a pve or pvp zone

I wouldn’t be surprised if Activision pressured Bungie to pressure the Destiny Tracker team to take it down.

Activision seems determined to hide the player counts in their COD games. They want people to see their decreasing sales.

trials in a couple weeks with streamers moving to PC and COD nabbing other people should be interesting

Is there a good guide for mods anywhere? Like "class abilities recharge faster when using void.". Is that just for your rift, dodge, etc, or for grenades and melee, too? Does anyone even use those, or do you focus on weapon mods?

Class abilities are your rift/dodge/barricade

Again Sony continues to punch the cross save dream in the dick, would love to buy this dead gay game again for native 4k on my Bone X but I want to keep my space mans

Yup, it's this. The D1 campaign was also way, way longer, whatever that's worth. I'm hoping the DLC adds enough... but TTK wasn't even the first DLC for D1, it was the loving 3rd.

This is just rose colored glasses, there is hella more single player content in D2 out the box than D1 had, just little to no reason to return to any of it unless you sharded your Sondok

It's almost like sequels should build on what came before them though? Destiny 2 is a step back in almost every way from what people are saying. Even basic quality of life poo poo.

It's not like this is at all exclusive to Destiny, the last three Civilization games have done the exact same thing. Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc, etc all launch with less content than the expanded games that came before.

its almost as if they intentionally don't include features/content that you've gotten used to and instead section them off into dlc you can pick up for $14.99 apiece until you've wound up buying essentially a whole new game just to get the amount o of stuff you were expecting and this is on top of a loot box system for getting cosmetic appearances that used to just be free

Yeah and it's almost as if Destiny 1 did the exact same thing :thunk:
If you bought D1 day one full cost and bought all the expansions as they came out, you spent 140 bucks iirc

A Buff Gay Dude posted:

Do they launch with fewer features?

Yeah I get that there will be fewer levels or whatever (although with Adventures and what not there is a surprising amount of this type of content in D2).

COD WWII launched with nine maps and like 20 guns

deadwing
Mar 5, 2007

The real only QoL thing that's worse in D2 right now than D1 is the vault. Not having to go to orbit to launch new activities, having multiple places to drop to in patrol, not having to go to the tower to get bounty equivalents, not having engrams take up normal inventory slots, not needing planetary mats to unlock gun and armor perks, hell, not even needing to unlock perks for guns/armor at all. All massive QoL improvements.

Starting a play session D1 meant a tower trip before you even started playing, then back to orbit, then to whatever activity you wanted to do, by then you already burned five minutes of non gameplay time. Now you just fly directly to whatever you want to do and you've already got all your daily and weekly "bounties"

deadwing
Mar 5, 2007

I mean yeah d2 has it's issues but overall I've been a lot more satisfied with it than d1, although I guess I'm a Filthy Casual who hasn't even clocked a hundred hours, but I still have adventures to do, still have exotics to get, still have to start a warlock (really hoping DLC1 comes with a spark of light)

Things like the PvP changes are a matter of opinion, I like the multiple modes in one playlist, and I like 4v4 (but I was the fuckman in D1 with the scout or heavy pulse plinking you from the flank, TLW/shotty one man armies probably feel a bit different)

Right now the big thing D2 is lacking is incentive to repeat content, which I'm currently fine with because I'm not done with the existing content, and the live team has said they're working on more incentives to keep playing, and it's a hell of a lot better than having to keep playing because you need a hundred spinmetal to see if the gun you just got is any good

It's a new raid but they're lazy so they're using a bunch of Leviathan assets.

Also I cannot tell if they're saying "lair" or "layer".

I’m not super pleased with this development at all honestly, that kind of sucks.

Also I’m not sure that “better than Crota” should be the bar new raids have to clear.

Crota ruled, it was basically Destiny Raid: The Action Movie. I hope this "lair" is the same sort of thing. We already have the puzzle raid. Bring on the shoot a bunch of dudes raid.

unless your core gameplay issues are 4v4 and primary/energy/heavy (and I know for a lot of people they are), everything else is pretty firmly in the "sandbox update" zone, we'll see what they do with the osiris patch
