The DYK is Icarus, Rifled, Rangefinder. Feels WAY better than a Pali with the same roll but gotta watch the range. RF keeps it in the same league at least.

I recently got an imago loop with the same roll. Gonna have to keep playing destiny for another week or 2.

No more death penalty in HM raids.

A handful of revives would be awesome for the random killed by the architects and other random bullshit deaths. It won't help a bad team very much but makes the process for a good team alot less painful.

They need to introduce a sexual elemental power. The super could be shooting a massive AoE field of lube and dildos. Players in the field fall and get stuck with dildos in their butts. Only way out is to mash O(PS4 teabag button). While in the field you can't even fire your weapons. Basically a tether for adults.

But what about the voidwallker?

Also I am pretty convinced D2 launches with 6 subclasses total. I'd imagine the amount of people who levelled and played all nine subclasses in D1 is pretty small to begin with. Here is hoping we get a 4th class for D2s major expansion(Sept 2018) and not a third subclass.

Notable changes include the following:

Points no longer capture faster if multiple people are standing on them.
You can activate a power play if you capture all points.
Point A and point C begin as captured.
Capture is no longer a two-step process eliminating neutralization. Now you only have to capture the point.
If you capture all the zones you now enter a “power play,” meaning you’ll get even more points per kill.
Matches are now 8 minutes long.
Mercy rule will be enabled, but is still being developed with the beta.

The capture point flags are transparent if you are close to them, which is a really nice touch

Also blink is back and sentinel looked alot like bladedancer from y1

So for the beta everyone will probably have a preset inventory with no items dropping. There is no social space for a cryptarch or storage. The beta will probably be pretty underwhelming.

What's going on with kill rewards? In this part the kill feed says a teammate made the kill, but the kill reward dialogue pops up on screen for the player. Has it gone all OverWatch, or is there a system that awards the kill to whoever did most of the killing?

At the reveal event I am pretty sure the endgame screen used "defeated" enemies which included both kills and assists. It probably works the same in game. I haven't played overwatch so I am not sure how it works compared to that. Makes sense with them going after casuals, much easier to have a "1.0 K/D+".

It's pretty limited compared to the Destiny 1 beta, isn't it? Just the one story mission, the strike and the one crucible map?

Mida and Jade Rabbit aside, scouts are pretty crap in PVP imo.

Scouts are the safest and easiest to use primary weapon in PVE. They get old quick but are great workhorses.

The most striking thing to me so far is how bad that sidearm warlocks start with is.

For PVE, I dont see anyone using any SMGs or sidearms when the game launches. Pulse/HC/Auto/Scout are just so much more versatile. I haven't spent a lot of time testing everything though.

SMGs were destroying poo poo in PVP within their shotgun-esque range they kinda feel like full auto sidearms.

The PVE game tuning has changed pretty significantly since the Beta build was deployed. The nature of a Beta of this scale requires that it’s based off a build of the game that is now months old. So, in many cases, your feedback is helping us validate changes that were previously made based on internal feedback and playtesting. For example, we too felt that ammo (especially power ammo) was too scarce in PvE. In addition to retuning the drop rates, we built a system that guarantees power ammo drops for you and your Fireteam from certain enemies, giving power weapons a more reliable and predictable role in your arsenal. Other areas where we’ve made significant tuning changes include grenade effectiveness in PvE, Boss vitality, and weapon damage against non-player combatants.

Sounds good

quote:

So, what’s new for Matchmaking in Destiny 2? The obvious PvP evolutions are the 4v4 format and the two consolidated playlists. We hope these changes have a good impact on game quality. Destiny 2 Crucible Matchmaking places a greater emphasis on connection quality, but make no mistake: Skill is still a big component in finding worthy opponents for you to fight.

SBMM is going nowhere, :negative:

It felt like a destiny strike to me not significantly improved or anything basically what I expected. The lack of feeling powerful I think comes from not having T5/4 disc and T5/4 int plus exotics and your favorite guns.

You would think after 1000+ hours I would learn to never solo queue but apparently not. My connection if perfectly fine too. The whole match had connections like this, everyone was teleporting. The few kills I got registered 5 secs later etc...
