Do you need to transfer your b.net data over to Steam before the 1st? Or can it be done anytime?

you can do it after, but It's probably a really good idea to do it now.

We're caught in the dreaming city curse and it always resets right before Shadowkeep launches.

None of us remember how long we've been trapped. Could be hours, days or aeons.

anything we want. on my titan i have Distribution (reduce all ability cooldowns when using class ability). but traction is extra mobility so it's not useless.

Blizzard’s uninstalled are mega super trash and always leave gigs of bullshit on your drive. If you’re getting rid of Battle.net, I recommend something like Revo to scrub your pc clean.

The only other Blizzard game I have is Overwatch, haven't played it in about a year.

On a 1-10 scale where 1 is Destiny 2 and 10 is Mechwarrior Online, how dead is it?

(I'm not asking that in the Overwatch thread for obvious reasons.)

- You get your super right away
- The big open area in the Cosmodrome has a walker you can fight, and is a public area - you can meet other players
- You get green gear but are 750
- I might have to replay this somehow to get the Khostov
- No Exo Stranger in the end cutscene :(
- You get a ship and sparrow right away

Hello fellow gamer,

Bad is good now. So yes. You are going to have to do your duty and log in on the day known as tomorrow.

It feels good to be bad.

It’s all about mooning your opposition in PvP. Or maybe it’s about, looks for a young gamer to provide education, sonning your opposition. Sunning them. Something like that. Get sunned is what I’m gonna type to peeps in game when I defeat them.

Oh!!!! And before I forget!!!!

Use my referral for GMG. I don’t spend the rewards on myself. I give them back. You all know this. Help a player out if you buy from Shadowkeepers from GMG: https://greenmangaming.mention-me.com/m/ol/kq7ua-cafb561eb7

lol at those ability cooldowns

also lol at a brand new guardian instantly going to the menus and selecting all the best class perks and flying around the map like a ninja


The mission also gives you 800 bright dust which isn't an amazing amount but if you're hard up for currencies I guess it's an option. :shrug:

Guardians are murder zombies so they don't breathe. They also aren't affected by the lighter gravity on the moon (or any other body in the solar system we visit).

Who gives a gently caress about the fallen, they're just target practice.

As someone who is always out of bright dust, this seems cool. So established players have access to this, too?

check your bungie.net account. there should be some icons saying what platforms you have linked to cross-save. steam and blizz are seperate icons. or you can click your 'icon' in the top right corner, there's options for coss-save and pc transfer, then you can hit 'view setup" to double check how you've set stuff up.



also, I switched to pc

two questions:

1) what perks do yall actually put on your boots since you don't need traction

2)

Ah, thanks!

I think I do Dynamo or dexterity enhancements for boots. Also you're open to using exotic boots more often, since you don't NEED a set with traction.

(I'm not asking that in the Overwatch thread for obvious reasons.)

Basically its their biggest game ever (after the heyday of WoW), and there are stadiums in like over a dozen major cities dedicated to it with like 24 professional teams or so...

But the game itself it just getting worse and worse and worse and everything other devs told them not to do they did anyway and as a result all the worst parts of TF2 became the core of Overwatch. I loved that game and clocked like 1400 hours in the first two seasons but can’t stand more than 1 match these days.

With the buckets of money "Tim" has been throwing at developers and the fact that Bungie is now a small indie developer I was genuinely surprised they went to Steam.

But on the other hand the Bungie and Steam office are drat near across the street from each other so maybe there was enough of a connection there that it was never really up for debate.

I think that's at the least a little doubtful, Bungie moved storefront to Steam partly as a result of popular feedback and partly to avoid publisher pressure.

The EGS also lacks fundamental support for Destiny 2's features, it doesn't even have basic social functionality. It's an undercooked storefront way out of its depth. Steam by contrast has Steamworks functionality for multiplayer and matchmaking

Fortnite already was a direct competitor to Destiny, now that Destiny is in the market of selling battle passes and making the game follow seasonal events even more so.

Oh I didn’t realize that! That would make sense. I’m thrilled for the steam release. Just keeps it easy on my end.

Yeah for sure. I have no doubt this game will sell exceptionally well on Steam. It’s a rabid fan base. Hard to pass up those “guaranteed” sales but yeah, I think long-term it would have pissed a lot of people off.
