the beta is fine but the ttk is abysmally high, the radar delay from unscoping is garbage, power weapons are a total afterthought and the supers are all underwhelming. also warlock jump is somehow worse than in destiny 1.

still pretty fun though!!!

Sounds like destiny 1 pvp was accidentally really great and now that the goobers over there like Derrick have had time to split it off and focus on it, it's all screwed up.

I'm hopeful that a lot of the stuff can be tweaked, like TTK and cooldowns, but the inherent 'slowness' of the game now feels weird coming from the frenetic energy of destiny 1.

also, in-air accuracy is so bad, woof.

for those complaining about starter weapons, the classes all start with different weapons. imo the titan has the best starting package of weapons, warlocks had the worst.

We still don't even really know what difference being in a clan will make for D2. We've seen clan levels and they've said that there will be clan-wide rewards, but what exactly that even means remains to be seen. Could just be shaders and junk for all we know.

It was a cold dark night in the tower as I waited for someone to carry me in trials. Suddenly, I got a message, it was poom!

"Hey do you want to go flawless in trials?"

I couldn't believe my fortune, as typically poom betty and sinaddr simply made ignored me when I asked if they wanted to run a card. All together they joined me in the tower.

"You ready?"

"Sure but..."

Something was wrong. They were all warlocks. Poom was always a hunter. He also seemed to not be blazed to hell, another first.

"But first we need to do one thing to prepare."

Poom, betty and sinaddr pulled out their arc soul

"Get on your knees."

I wasn't sure what was happening, but I really wanted to go flawless, so I did it.

All of a sudden, all three arc souls were firing at me! For what seemed like an endless amount of time, I was being showered in white arc souls. I was exhausted but also felt cleansed.

"One more thing" they said.

All three took out their coldhearts and began to spray their laser beams onto my face. Despite the name, the beams were felt warm and refreshing.

Once they were done, I received my emblem.

I never thought this could happen to me. And I could think of no better word to describe it than flawless.

yikes!!!!

WAVEFORM
POST


So in Destiny 1 there's (we guess) an easter egg on a PVP map called Last Exit. A cipher, still unbroken, that scrolls on an LED Marquee board above a subway entrance. Cryptographers take note:

code:
j?96exd.\?i 7kj\psq3euj\@x.yt5 ,33szl'!( +9-7!!/@ 2enr?hqj+r,r+c?)

This was cool and stuff and I'm a fiend for secrets, so I poked around. On the same map, it's noticeable that there's red, blue, and green derelict subway cars with colored destination signs inside that match these other signs on a nearby platform:



These things drove me nuts, because when you have a cipher like this, presumably there's a key somewhere. To me, they looked like the basic shapes of waveforms that you'd see on an oscilloscope. Left to right: triangle, sine, square waves, just a single pulse of each, enough to succinctly represent the shape of the wave.

I don't know what one would DO with this information, but it seemed pertinent, not just Cow Tools or something; why go to that effort, etc.

You see this "waveform" motif in a few places if you look around in the games, but it's quite visible when it's circumscribed around The Traveler, like in the Age of Triumph (D1) release trailers:



The same "waveform" motifs (I guess per-class?) have returned in the form of halos behind Ikora, Zavala, and Cayde on the Vanguard Strike screen, so now I'm just truly lollin':

Adjudicator and Agenda 5 is a dope rear end crucible loadout pals. Fun change from MIDA / Prosecutor that I've been running non-stop.

Haven't gone flawless yet this week but a few of us had a fun 7-1 run late night where the only loss was a 5-6 where they defused the final cap with 2 seconds or so left. Losing sucks but that was intense as hell and a super good time all around. Mostly potato teams but that was after running a card earlier where we went 1-3, fighting tons of pros.

A good counter to the scout meta this week is 4 sidearms, if the team runs as a pack and can use cover effectively to push. Haven't figured out a way to combat that yet.

Change your engagement distances and use literally anything else. Don't get into hallway stapler battles because they're dumb and boring. Free your mind and the rest will follow.

Watch people who are better than you and realize that gunskill is only half the game, using cover and only engaging at optimal ranges (and immediately backing out of unwinnable fights) is the rest.
