Don't listen to that doofus, the raids were really neat and felt really epic when they were new. It's better than WoW poo poo because you are actively engaging with the game the whole time instead of mashing hot keys and waiting for cooldowns with generic MMO gameplay.

I love jump puzzles

Falling to your death constantly and cracking up on jump puzzles is part of the Destiny raid experience and I will be extremely sad if they don't make a return in Destiny 2. It's always fun to run through the tomb ships on an alt when you've forgotten how to use their jump.

Separate balancing, I get the argument, but what a lovely loving reality to either have to have double the guns or be forced into reconciling two separate gun feels for a single gun and be made to adapt to range and damage changes on the fly. That legit sucks, and if inventory and Vault size weren't things, I'd be more chill with that, but I think it's a bad idea.

Pretty sure people at the D2 event said ranges felt different in pvp and pve so my hopes are probably already dashed. Whatever.

I just wish I had done Jolly Holiday when TLW was still a beast and not dogshit compared to my Eyesluna or an average pulse. The rebalancing patches have hit PVP like violent mood swings.

What I don't understand watching something like this is... These are the same people that turned around and made Destiny. Like, the game where the only NPCs you interact with are standing around in a social space. WTF?

People definitely would have remembered the Destiny story missions a lot more fondly if you'd had Nathan Fillion or Lance Reddick or Claudia Black fighting alongside you and cracking wise along the way. There aren't even any major character deaths to sucker punch you emotionally. I think the closest to poignancy that Destiny got was the reveal of the final fate of the Iron Lords but even that was weak.

Thought it looked cool, watched a gameplay vid. poo poo was like if Destiny was hopping on your Sparrow for one minute, walking across a patrol zone for three, then having to gently caress with your inventory for five. Wow no.

It's more like, hopping in the slowest sparrow for two minutes. Land for a bit and spend ten minutes or so farming resources, then managing your inventory for another five. Then you take off and fly for another two or three minutes searching in vain for one particular mineral that you need and can't seem to find anywhere even though the mineral was listed in the planet survey. Then you land again and find some minerals to mine for another ten minutes (still not finding the one that you need) and then you get shot to death by bots and eaten by aggressive squirrel crabs because gently caress you that's why.

PAX loving sucks. There are too many people, not enough cool poo poo, and tickets are stupid expensive and sell out immediately. I went a few years ago and it was a totally miserable experience. I got to wait like 3 hours in line to play Titanfall and spend the rest of it crushed in with smelly fat weirdos.

PAX should have half the tickets available and use a lottery system for tickets.

The in-game guidance has gotten a lot better. At level 8 you should have a bunch of quests already, do what they say and it should lead to level-appropriate missions. The base game content has been retrofitted to lead you through it, Taken King has an enormous number of quests and side missions, and by then you should be ready to start tweaking gear and doing the postgame weekly ritual stuff.

There are probably some really bad people down at level 8, yeah. You can probably stay out of strikes for a while unless a quest specifically orders you to do one.

Well, I honestly think part of that is just that the old strikes were never retuned the way they did with all the y2 and y3 versions. So all the bosses in the vanilla versions are still ridiculously bullet spongey, especially the early ones like the devil walker and phogoth. I recently ran through both of those at an appropriately low level and it was a giant pain in the rear end even for an experienced player.

I'm pretty much done with D1 now (because I'm playing Friday the 13th constantly) but I'd be excited for a new clan. I assume once D2 is in full swing I'll no longer be able to rep Bone Krew because there will still be a stupid 100 person limit or something for your active clan. (rip)

According to the TWAB all 6 subclasses that have shown up so far will be available in the beta. Top skill path only, though.

This makes me thing they might be holding back the other 3.

First impressions after only playing an hour as Titan cause I gotta go to work: 4v4 seems a lot more tense but that could also have to do with the smaller map sizes. PvP is going to get sweaty as gently caress when the full game launches.

Titan is dope. Titan is good. Shield wall is good. Capt America is good. All Hail Titan

Gatling Gun sucks poo poo. Scout Rifle seems way shittier Right now, it seems Assault Rifles and Pulse Rifles will be the early game meta.

Abilities need to charge faster. With no invisibility or blink, Arcstrider is like a unfun bladedancer. I thought Homecoming was great.

I definitely thought it was the most fun/powerful super ability I used though. Killed way more enemies with Poledancer than with the new Warlock firebird thing or the captain america Titan.

I was skeptical as poo poo and the beta has me good to go where everyone else seemed to go from hype to pissy

I am still pretty hype for the full game but I do feel that Bungie made a Bioware esque overcorrection to their criticism that they made too much of the game available in the D1 beta. If they just wanted to offer a demo then just call it a demo then. It's silly to pretend it's a beta with this little content and this close to release. That said they've been pretty upfront that mostly this is for stress testing, and they've done several user research sessions at Bungie so I imagine most of their feedback is coming from that rather than a mostly open beta.

Here's my incredibly effort post Destiny 2 thoughts:

I don't care for the Warlock's healing ward skill. It seems like no matter what you do - can't get people to use them, so you're just solo healing most of the time. I miss my survivability of energy shield and a self rez.

Guns feel good like they always do.

The strike might be too long / too complicated for pubbies. Killing the boss was a slog because people couldn't pick up simple mechanics like: don't stand on the hot lava floor. Also a jumping puzzle early on. People still can't do jumping puzzles for some reason. Desiny 2 should be commended for continuing the trend of all Vex strikes being poo poo, though.

The story mission was nice and long.

I wish the design aesthetic would change a little bit. Kind of tired of AR-15s in space.

I'll probably still play it because its Destiny but whatever.

Lol "jumping puzzle" hold x and then jump across several stationary platforms. What kind of mouth breather are you matching with?

The Glorious Space Orb decides that it's tired of countless millennia of running away and decides to actually grow some Slightly Smaller Space Orbs and try to fight for basically the first time in its entire existence

Of course it gets totally owned but humanity's just collateral damage in this case

That's even dumber. I don't care if the lore guys disagree, Rasputin forcing the Traveler to stay by blowing the gently caress out of it is the best interpretation of the story, and it's what I will go with until I'm directly contradicted by the Rasputin dlc for D2.

Hello, here’s a pretty neat idea for Bungie in the new social space- The Farm.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, why do we need fishing? Well, I’ll tell you. It adds a factor of fun and excitement, especially when you catch something cool. Here’s how it can be planned out

A fishing vendor, a robot with your average fishing gear and hat called FLY-F1SH3R will arrive at the pond. He sells fishing rods and bait. The bait costs glimmer or legendary marks. Of course, the legendary mark bait will be higher quality and has the potential to fish up better loot. There are 3 rods you can buy...

Tier 1 Rod- Hard Wood, breaks after 15 casts
Tier 2 Rod- Steel, breaks after 30 casts
Tier 3 Rod- Reinforced Steel, breaks after 50 casts

The rods will be unlocked via catching loot/items/fish for FLY-F1SH3R in quests. At the end of his quest line, he gives you his exotic heavy gun called “The Whalebane”, it’s a harpoon gun that holds up to 4 harpoons.

The Whalebane is an exotic heavy weapon, and it’s the only Harpoon Gun in the game. Its damage type is Arc, and its exotic perk allows for all 4 harpoons to be shot at once by holding the reload button. The harpoons will however have a decent sized spread, and do some less damage.

After the quest line, you can still fish for loot and fish. FLY-F1SH3R will still buy your fish for glimmer, which you can use to buy more bait.

To keep people motivated to fishing, there will be rare fish in the pond. These fish sell for LEGENDARY MARKS. Yes, these are worth quite a bounty and FLY-F1SH3R will gladly take them off your hands. All of your catches will be recorded in your fishing book, along with the date where you caught the fish.

The loot pool of the Pond consists of weapons (No heavy weapons), boxes of glimmer, unique consumables, and fish.

There will be 6 docks that guardians can fish off of.

So, that’s my idea. I hope you guys enjoy it .

Just thought of another idea, fishing bounties! Such as catch 50 fish, catch a rare fish, or even catch-of-the-week bounties!

Ideas for consumables listed below-

1. Essence of Luck, increased chance of reeling in a Rare Fish

2. Essence of Power, infinite casts for the next 3 minutes

3. Essence of Fortune, increased chance of reeling in a box of glimmer

4. Essence of Venture, increased chance of reeling in a quest item (stops dropping after fishing quest line is finished)

I'm going to make a clan called Fat Anglers Group (FAG) for those who want to join

This owns. I wanna be a FAG.

Employee reviews on Glassdoor complain that a lot of the design leads at Bungie are arrogant and shoot down suggestions while bragging about how they made Halo and don't need to listen to someone lower on the company ladder telling them how to improve things so yeah, they're just up their own asses. Reading what it's like to work at that studio pretty much confirms a lot of the speculation people have had about why things are so slow and keep going wrong. I feel sorry for the teams who dedicate so much time to crunch only to have some idiot walk in at the end and say to scrap it all and start again because it doesn't fit their vision.

Yeah, just listening to anything that comes out of Luke Smith's mouth is enough to confirm that. It's too bad because Destiny is fantastic in a lot of ways but I'm really skeptical that it will be able to pull me away from PUBG at all and I'm considering cancelling my console pre-order and just sticking with the PC version of D2 at this point. RIP my PS4 character I guess.
