Diablo 3 found a way to really play to its strengths on both console and PC. I have no doubt that Destiny will do the same!

It's the Activision Difference(tm)!

Honestly the opening cinematic to Vanilla Destiny tells you everything you need to know.

In roughly today times, we detected some weird poo poo going on in Mars. We sent modern day astronauts out there and we found a big sphere (The Traveler) that was busy making it rain on Mars. Like literally, sky water.

The Traveler followed us back to earth and helped technology advance at a more rapid pace than ever. We colonized all the planets that it terraformed for us and lived through many many years of The Golden Age.

The Darkness™ came for the Traveler and killed all our off world colonies and dick punched the Traveler so hard that all he could do was die on top of The Last City, Earth, creating the first Safe Space seen since 2017.

This was called the Collapse. At some point a bunch of tiny gay robots flew out of the Traveler's butt hole and revived dead bodies across earth to serve as Guardians, which are the player characters, in order to beat off the Darkness with both hands!

The events of Destiny 1 are completely insignificant. Some bad guys were introduced and defeated.

Literally no progress was made on the plot line established in the opening cinematic (Revive the Traveler and determine what The Darkness was)

D1 expansions also struggled a bit with scale.

Taken King - A reality-bending literal God has turned his gaze upon the world of Men. We will have to ascend into his ethereal realm, harness the very power of the Darkness itself, and kill his immortal soul through a forbidden arcane ritual. At long last, this timeless threat has been ended.

Rise of Iron - Fuckin space cockroaches are making a drat mess of our recycle bins. There's also a black guy now.

the Vex which are time-travelling robots that can erase people from time and somehow this is less of a threat than the Cabal?

If a race can 'go back in time' and 'erase people from time' how the gently caress can anything be a bigger threat than them?


The Vex were the primary concern in vanilla Destiny for exactly that reason. As kilometers Davis can tell you, the original raid, the Vault of Glass, involves going into their time realm so that we could cut off their dick (Atheon) and balls (Templar).

They've been total chumps since then. We condensed their time stream into only one possible outcome, which is them getting defeated by another race in the future, so they got really depressed and salty and just kind of teleport around for no reason now.

The cabal are a bigger threat now because their real army was just off screen the whole time.

We never did any actual traveling through time or manipulating the time stream. The potential for them to erase us from existence was just their doomsday device. They could have just as easily had a nuclear bomb in the vault, or some kind of potion that turned Guardians gay.

The Microsoft store was bugged and let me buy the Destiny through Rise of Iron pack for $39.99, so I got in on this game for the cheap.

Obsurveyor posted:

Single player cooldowns definitely feel too long compared to Destiny 1 but it's been a long rear end time since I didn't have gear that accelerated them. Hoping it gets a lot better because I've got a sense on when it's time to throw another grenade but it's always off with D2 so far, with the meter barely halfway full. They had a solution for the cooldown issue in PvP in Destiny 1 by flagging the perks as "minions of darkness" and that worked, I don't know why they can't keep doing that(maybe they do, I haven't looked at gear or anything).

Also, I hope they tweak Toggle ADS so that if you click it in the middle of a reload and other animation stuff like landing from a jump, sprinting, etc, it goes into ADS, like if you held it the whole time with Hold ADS. Feels like the one burr on a pretty great input system.

You'll eventually be able to lower grenade cool down from like 82 to 69 seconds, but there's no way to reduce Super Cooldown. It's designed to give each member of the team 1x super of the course of a match to try and create a "Super Economy" like in Overwatch. (you can get a second super in a match if you're truly annihilating the other team, too)

whats the fastest way to go from 230 to 265

also yikes, I accidentally redeemed one of my powerful engrams

Lost Sectors, Public Events, Adventures, all barf out a Blue that goes up to 265. Plus they also give you tokens for the planet vendor, to give you purples (which are better than blues, but also cap at 265).

Powerful stuff resets on Tuesday morning, so no worries at all. You can't even do the raid this week so it shouldn't matter.

BTW - the "Exotic" quests (blue banner on each planet) give you a Powerful level weapon, so you can bump up your light a bit from running those (post 265) too!

ty all, I was doing public events and lost sectors, I just wasn't sure if that was a bad way to do it or not

But also... have fun. Strikes are a slow, slow source of Light upgrades, but they're worth checking out.

Adventures are slower than Public Events and Lost Sectors, but they provide 69% of the story and lore in the game, and are just neat.

Don't worry TOOOO much about your Optimal Path to 265 because it'll happen pretty drat fast no matter what.
