given that striker is getting a gun shield im excited to see how they change defender around too.

someone said stuff like armor - agi - recovery is now on gear? be interesting to see if those are normalized across classes.

Bungie going after esports again seems like a bad idea as it was a giant tire fire when they attempted it in Halo.. it basically chased off everyone who played the game for fun because there was no way to escape the competitive setup.

the halo franchise were like the first console shooters that was actually competitive so idek what you're talking about. tons of people played halo casually.

TTK is definitely up, someone earlier said that a lot of one-hit kill situations have been removed.

i mean, a lot of ohk situations are gone by virtue of making most of the ohk weapons effectively heavies

i hope there's more than one opportunity to get heavy a game, though. i think snipers and shotguns and stuff are too prevalent atm but once a game seems like it wouldn't be enough.

where are fusions going? power weapon slot?

that's all good-sounding stuff. the .86 second primary ttks we were getting in later expansions were getting insane.

that's still reading like a very strange choice to me. depending on how you acquire power weapon ammo, there'd be no reason to not run rockets or lmg's if their acquisition is at all limited. snipers and shotguns in the low-impact class are going to be even more poorly off than they currently are.

the 3 new supers look like dogshit. shuffling the weapons around is a garbage bandaid for balancing, apparently they couldn't get their poo poo together after all so just make them use 2 primaries instead what a great solution!

but the game finally has a story and all those rep grinds will be built right in instead of having to wait a few expansions. wooooo!

this was supposed to be a do-over and instead they're doubling down. just shove all that garbage that didn't make it into the first game into this.

i mean, i don't think you will find a single poster enthusiastic about destiny who did not get their money's worth from destiny 1 and it's dlc.

also, yes, if it's fun, i think that's fine. if you're for some reason positing that destiny 1 + all of it's dlc + destiny 2 constitutes a single game's worth of value there has probably only been like three games ever made that are acceptable by your dogshit metrics.

i know when people talk about fun poo poo in destiny, the first thing they say is 'getting double killed by the same super'

there better be a loving bubble in there somewhere because why the hell is defender now a roaming super

if a lobby has too many roaming supers to reliably suppression them i'll still bust out the PI. sucks we got a year 3 icebreaker but PI got left behind. what else hadn't they brought forward? is that it?

i just did the rift weekly, and i could literally count on a single hand the amount of times i was killed by a gun that was not an icebreaker, palindrome, or an eyasluna. gently caress this game is stupid, please hurry destiny 2.

New ward of dawn is basically the relic from vog, so you gotta sit there doing nothing and hold down a button to have it out. It's not an alternate mode.

defender has a perk that lets you drop a ward instead of using captain america, yes it is. i guess depending on how you interpret it you could think you had to hold it the whole time but 'when you cast your super, you can press and hold the super activation and you’ll place a Ward of Dawn instead' makes it sound like it's just a thing you do instead of pulling the shield out.

Thinking of the core gameplay feeling like D1, good stuff. But nearly everything they've shown has utterly failed to rouse me at all, some repulsing me away. Haven't preordered. Hopefully something in all the reveals in the coming weeks will decide for me so I don't have to rely on the beta.

Never thought I'd not want D2 but it does look very bad, and not in a dead gay retard way.

i mean this from the bottom of my heart: i hope you never buy and play this game, in the infinitesimally small chance i am forced to play it with you

yeah it's not like the starting destiny 1 armor looked all that hot either

but then we got holdfast and molniya like two patches later and that was the hottest poo poo in the game so

whats the ps4 equivalent controller?

i think there are two that Sony approved, one was a nacon or something and the other was a Razer Raiju, which I got. i think only the nacon has released in NA, but i had a friend pick up a raiju for me while he was overseas. ironically, they're both pretty much shaped like Xbox controllers, but only the raiju keeps the PlayStation both-sticks-at-the-bottom design.

The skill trees definitely aren't what I was expecting. The entire field of perks in the top right are always active, I thought you'd have to choose one. I'm glad, I need dat bubble, and you don't have to sacrifice anything (other than the bitchin captain America shield) to use it. From what they'd said previously, I thought you would have to spec it that way.

there's going to be a second perk 'group' in the full game, you just can't mix and match.

I just have to ask because your MO in the last few destiny threads over the years is to bitch non stop. Are you even enjoying yourself? Like, maybe you should find a different franchise for your health.

as an adult human, i don't spend my leisure time doing things i don't enjoy. if i didn't like destiny, i wouldn't play it. most of the things i complain about don't even change my enjoyment of the game, they're just gripes.
