The 4v4 change reads to me that Bungie really wants the crucible to play more like Halo and to have more of an emphasis on making Destiny esports compatible (lol).

Wait I'm confused, people are upset that Bungie is widening the skill gap in the crucible? Isn't that a desired attribute in any competitive game?

Thankfully they're classified as power weapons now and Bungie doesn't need to worry about their balancing as much.

This is a first for me. Just one day of the beta and I'm pretty much just done. Go back to playing FF14 or something.

I'm kinda feeling the same. I forgot how slow the pvp in destiny is.

Labor weekend most likely. Bungie probably doesn't want to launch a game right after a holiday weekend.

I'm gonna guess 270 to start the raid and the boss will drop 300 level gear.

I'm struggling to think of where to get my gear to 270 from. I'm about 265 at the moment and the Nightfall has definitely dropped the best gear, but below that is a large gap in power.

Powerful gear from milestones.

I know it's very early but is there a go-to Warlock build for Strikes that people have had success with? I've been getting by with Stormcaller and that Arc helm exotic but it doesn't feel great. I think someone mentioned earlier a Void build with the Void exotic helm? Do you even need one build, or have to switch a bunch during the Nightfall?



Voidwalker devour build is really fun. Pair it with gear like Nezarec's helm that gives ability charge on void kills. Dawnblade with starfire protocol is kinda OP.

Good passage that counters the 'but what about FREE SPEECH' edge lords:

"But that's a shell game where in the name of fairness someone can be asked to provide endless proof of what is evident to the naked eye. It's a way to make victims and targets seem ridiculous while their abusers and assailants are portrayed as mere jesters from the court of internet dadaism, with no connection to real-world harassment and violence."

The Division forces you to shoot thousands of hoodie-clad BLM 'looters' and no one says a peep about it, but someone sneaks a stupid frog meme into Destiny 2 and that gets everyone up in arms. You cunts all need your heads checked.

Actually there were quite a few woke gamer thinkpieces about the horde of looters you murder in the Division.
