how much is this game gonna be like best PC game: ck2? can you brew a baby into a flying potion?

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

My brain is broken and I care about lore and backstory but I never played Destiny 1 and don't want to buy it. Is there a good Youtube video I can watch to get caught up?

Someone linked a pretty succinct video already. There's also a guy on YouTube named Byf, and he produces some good videos covering Destiny's lore, according to the grimoire.

It's the exact same model used in D1. Stuff found in those loot boxes are effectively useless until you pump gear found only by playing into them to even make them wearable.

Yes it toes the line a bit it isn't nearly a big deal as it seems. Calm the gently caress down you sissies.

This game checks so many of my boxes I think I may need to preemptively start seeing a marriage councilor. I won't be joining a goon clan or squad or corp or blob or whatever metric of measurement they're using for this game because my friends group is more insular than those tribes that you see shooting arrows at helicopters on YouTube every now and again. I would like to play with m'goonbros though, so maybe add me on bnet? I'll join the discord and pester people when the game comes out as well.



Still, you may as well form a clan with your friends even if it's kept private. You get loot just by accumulating points doing any activity in the game. This can come in handy when you need help getting over a power level threshold.

Too much effort to figure out / program. Let's say someone equips all exotics during the match and transfers all other gear in their inventory to their vault or something. What is the game supposed to equip them with when they go to orbit? You can't have empty slots in Destiny.

Well if I'm remembering right and you had a faction exotic class item equipped then pledged allegiance to another faction, it stripped you of your class item and had nothing equipped.

No models of guardians wearing only underwear?

Orpheus rig nightstalker feels extremely broken in certain situations. Like its great, I love it, but knowing nothing about how Bungie handle balancing will this be allowed to exist for the foreseeable future? I guess its been around a while on consoles so they must be fine with it.

I can see them putting a cap on how much super you get back, or taking super energy out all together. The description doesn't mention refilling super meter. Those pants sat in my vault for over a week before I randomly saw a youtube guy showoff what they did.

It's a pretty worthless exotic in pvp. I'm pretty sure you'd need to tether an entire enemy team to get even half of your super back...

I don't know how you could go back to PS4, it felt awful for me when I raided with my irl workmates last week. It's like going to a five-star restuarant and then eating surströmming out of an old woman's fanny.

So, what are the penalties for leaving a clan? And are there any more goon clans accepting?

My current clan is cool and all, but they get way too butthurt/serious about raid, and they never touch PvP. It's getting kinda dumb for people blaming me on wiping raid despite doing everything I'm told and not dying instantly to ads.

Penalties?! Just loving leave
