I bounced out of Destiny just prior to RoI and don't recall anyone up to that point mentioning "skating". I can tell it was some way of exploiting movement types into moving much faster than was intended but what exactly was it? And just how badly was it effecting Crucible for people who didn't use it?

In the 3v3 modes and especially elim/trials the ability to move quickly and get into place first was absolutely critical.

Elsewhere being able to move quickly via skating was especially nasty during the jug shotgun Titan meta, and just in general it let's you close distance through primary fire before you can be killed.

For real though with slow enough TTK I can see a world where it makes sense to start with a first curse and finish with a last word

That's not what I'm talking about. In Destiny 1, every expansion they released raised the level cap, which made every single piece of high level equipment you'd worked for now worse than common drops, and made all the (non-strike) previous content completely pointless. So if you bought the game when Taken King came out, for instance, there was no reason to ever touch, say, the House of Wolves arena or the Vault of Glass, as they were now comically easy and didn't drop anything remotely useful.

I mean, I know the excuse is that's the way MMOs work, but in a game that expects you to play the same content over and over variety is key - and they just left that stuff sitting there for no reason.

Still seeing the "20" next to peoples' names worries me, as that was always a strange disconnect - of COURSE they're 20 (or 30 or whatever the level cap is at the time), I wouldn't ever be playing with anyone that hadn't hit the level cap. It's literally the least important piece of information I could see about that player.

Again, this wasn't true at all.

Pvp is for the most part level and light neutral.

The Taken King left behind old guns because Bungie hosed up the perk system and it was impossible for them to properly balance things if old guns came forward.

From TTK on all legendary and exotic equipment could be brought up to the maximum light level. I know I did a ton of outdated content to farm cool guns and infuse them up to the current top level.

There was one hiccup with bringing up old guns requiring a few pieces of new gear because of the way the system was designed, but they fixed it and now you just take a max light gun and put it into an old gun and bam, your old gun is now max light.

Yeah there was a lot of debate at the time TTK was leaving old content behind and to be fair I was firmly in the "burn it all, get new stuff" camp at the time and I remain there.

Some of the old guns were so freaking overpowered that it was ridiculous, and you really didn't have any reason to use any loadout but Fatebringer, black hammer and gjally for PvE. They literally couldn't design interesting content that was capable of being fun with that loadout and a "normal loadout" without those things because the damage difference was insane.

This lead to most group activities having big time gear requirements for what amounted to sitting still and hammering a boss to death in 2 seconds.

Ever since then they've been better about making guns that don't trivialize encounters and encounters that can't be trivialized. It's been good on the PvE side of things so I think they made the right choice to leave old guns and elemental purple primaries behind.

Now pvp has been continuously hosed up because they keep introducing guns that bypass special ammo constraints but it looks like they've gotten the idea for D2.

If I had to guess I'd say they are like a quiver nightstalker, with quiver going away on nightstalker so they are a true support super.

Even the angled icons look bad. I'm guessing there's a new smoother aesthetic but we aren't getting the full production gfx and UI elements just quite yet.

It's a small complaint in the grand scheme of things but it's just kinda weird imho

I've got 37 gigs of Destiny clips saved on my Ps4. Apparently, that's not a lot according to Bettyspaghetti, but none the less I have a lot of boring 5 min chunks of footage to watch until I get to the 20-30 seconds of actual content I wanted to save in the first place.

A lot of it.... Is not good. But I'm gonna at least share some of it anyway because watching my own sloppy game play beats playing this dead gay game.

I'm pretty positive I already shared my clip of killing three dudes with one headshot in gif form, but I'm sharing it again via YouTube.
