I’m generally really happy with D2 right now. I really don’t care about sunsetting at all because I generally don’t grind for guns or get very attached to non-exotics in the first place. Here are my biggest complaints about BL:

* The in game storyline of Eramis felt pretty pointless - the darkness took out half our solar system and we’re fighting some loser Fallen who just lets us pick off her generals one by one before killing her. It worked for Forsaken but really doesn’t here. All the Clovis stuff is so much more interesting.
* There should’ve been a new dungeon, dungeons are my fav PVE content
* Holy poo poo Bungie how are there no new Crucible maps or anything???

Playing D2 is still fun as ever though.

It's kind of weird how there are old-as-gently caress Fallen and also an endless supply of them seemingly to keep founding houses and scrap cities that fail. Haven't they been here like hundreds of years now? At least the Cabal have the excuse of "we got reinforcements".

When you cut off a Fallen’s arm the arm grows into a new Fallen.

Just did the 1250 Perdition and got Claws of Ahamkara. Before I waste my time going in again, someone clarify for me how it works:

Does it give you a chance of getting an exotic, and the exotic is guaranteed to be arms?

Does it give you a guaranteed arm exotic, and there's a chance it's the new warlock poison arms?

Does it give you a chance at the exotic warlock arms, but something broke and instead it gave me an exotic I already had?

E: Is the 'prioritise exotics you don't have' thing supposed to be working here or not?

It’s a chance to get any exotic in the slot the sector says it will reward, commonly or rarely based on LL. Might be a higher chance to get one you don’t have than one you do have, but getting one you already have is not a bug.

Do we have a sense of when the next expansion/campaign/DLC/whatever is going to drop? I'm not opposed to buying Beyond Light or whatever the current shiny thing is, but if there's something new in the pipelines for a week or a month out, I'll just snag Forsaken or Shadowkeep instead and play those raids/strikes for a bit instead.

Next Fall.

Only 20,000 people play trials during a weekend? How can Bungie justify spending any amount of resources on something with that low of a population?

Edit: Doh can’t read, that’s how many went flawless.

Could teleporting enemies be due to increased enemy density in things like battlegrounds and the new strikes?

I guess that wouldn’t make sense for things like Presage though where there’s low enemies since all this stuff runs off our own systems and not Bungie servers, right?

Hmm, just listened to the song that Lakashmi sings again. It's Savathun's theme, and she says that "the people" are singing it.

That’s Savathun’s theme? I recognized the tune but thought it was just “Destiny 2 Theme Song”

I feel like most developers are just silently assuming that everyone will use Discord, letting them not implement their own comms. Years ago I’d say this was lazy but Discord works well enough (better than like 99% of in game) and everyone uses it, so go nuts devs.

Umbrals were probably TOO good for Seasons of Arrival (if you believe such a thing to be possible/a problem)

Umbrals were crap for Season of the Chosen (Battlegrounds & Hammer Charges were a miss, to me)

Umbrals are good for Season of the Splicer, but it was a huge mistake to use the same currency for focusing engrams & upgrading your gauntlet.

Yeah, agree with all of this.

BobbyDeluxe I think you’re on the correct track with thinking about umbrals, but have a little FOMO anxiety or something adjacent to it. Just use them to chase a good roll on your fav gun for the season and ignore everything else.

I disagree with this. I think the game is good again because they did it and then subsequently undid it.

Before sunsetting, the godroll for a good 90% of the guns in the game is Outlaw/Rampage or Outlaw/Kill Clip. Now these combos barely drop, even on guns that used to roll it. Instead, they created a whole bunch of perks and combos that are objectively worse than an Outlaw/Rampage or Outlaw/KillClip combo, but because you almost never see those combos anymore and all the guns with them were sunset, there is a wide space to play with gun rolls nowadays. Outlaw, Rampage, and Kill Clip still drop on guns and they are objectively good perks, but now they stopped doing those combos on most guns we get really interesting combos that are more varied and interesting.

I am extremely happy the game is in the current state it is. Destiny is actually good right now. I am annoyed at the process it took to get here, but in the end, you can't have this high of a high point without the lowpoint it was at, and clearing out all the degenerate combos they printed in Year 2.

I feel like a bunch of weapons with Outlaw and Kill Clip/Rampage are dropping lately. No I don’t have any examples!! Even on the guns that can roll them I’d rather have other perks though (I love Heating Up, Killing Wind, and Demolitionist forever).

I wish Bungie would talk more about designing guns. It’s the core of the game but instead they talk endlessly about anything but, except in terms of buffs/nerfs.

The Uldren stuff is happening because the writer watched too many WB teen dramas where every storyline is based on characters not telling each other things.

E: also confused about that article - If Marty 'won' the case in 2014 how the gently caress were they able to semand he turn over all MotS stuff?

Court decisions aren’t winner take all. Without reading the original lawsuit I’m guessing this is what happened:

1. Marty sues Bungie alleging wrongful termination (some terms in an employment contract?)
2. Bungie countersues saying Marty has Bungie property (music he composed during employment)
3. Court finds in favor of Marty’s wrongful termination claim, Bungie must pay him
4. Court finds in favor of Bungie’s claim, Marty must turn over all Bungie property and not keep/distribute it
5. Oops, Marty can’t stay off the internet
