By preordering you only access the early part of the beta, you can play the (IIRC) final 2 days of the beta without preordering.

Smug as fuck.
Why would they put out destiny 2 when destiny 1 still has 7 more years of support?

Seems kinda weird to me.

It's Bungie+Activision's way to teabag all the Bungie fanbase.
Also notorious director Luke Smith (a.k.a. ABGD's secret persona) wanted to retcon the game and completely write off the Queen and The Exo Stranger to allow his waifu spoiler Xur /spoiler the get the spotlight of d2.

Pre-ordering a game in 2017, after No Man's Sky! Shame on you all.

I'm sure they someone also said that Mass Effect Andromeda sales were "very strong" at some point too.

lol if anyone is preordering this recycled trash

Best Buy sent me a $60 reward for having a credit card a month or two before Andromeda came out, so I used it on that. I didn't even spend my own money on that heap of poo poo, and it's still the worst preorder I've ever made, at least off the top of my head.

I'm excited as hell for D2 :love:

I thought the beta pvp was terrific fun, felt great, and am excited for the balancing that's coming upon release. I super dig the vast array of stuff to do out on patrol now. The campaign and how ostensibly each class has a different second act as our Stellas get their grooves back is cool poo poo and having reason to play all three characters is primo, and I'm quite hype on the expansions being on the slate as Bungie seems to have set themselves up to develop easily and release consistently. Also, just thinking about how awesome live events could be in D2 has my wallet ready to start ejaculating.

Nothing but good vibes here :discourse:

The TTK in that trailer is so off from everything we saw in the D2 beta, and it looks even faster than D1. Really wonder if that's a more recent build or just something they mocked up to make the trailer more exciting.

The ttk looks adjusted a bit but it looked like all of the primary kills in there were with ability assistance or, primarily, the enemy was being team shot.

Well there was stuff like a sniper doing over 300 damage on a body shot, or shoulder charge doing 180+40 damage and oneshotting someone.

Some, maybe all, snipers as a heavy will ohk body shot. The Shoulder Charge victim had taken damage already. Other stuff, Hunter one tap then melee kill, it was a charged melee. Same with one of the Warlock kills.

Just going based off that and my personal experiences with the D2 beta. The edit at the top makes the most sense, with LL causing damage differences you wouldn't normally see.

__________________
Individual values could be attributed to LL but the footage plays just as the D2 beta did, nothing deviating from how kills occur. If they depicted ohk melee kills or something, weird, but as is you could do pretty much all that in the beta. It may look more exciting and fast-paced but everything show was team vs team, no Lone Wolf. People die very fast when multiple people are shooting them so Idk, I think it looks pretty much the same.

And that makes me happy. Speed up super regen by 10%, give grenades 5% more damage, some other light tuning people sperged about, we should be sitting pretty.

Probably not because I feel like that's something that should have been included with the Taken King dlc. BUT, If Eris Morn is in D2, then maybe. You never know what kind of cooky side quest she'll send you on
