I thought they said cross-save in the drat opening? So it's all just bullshit?

I don't know if they said that. But cross-save with PC can put the other platforms in danger. If cheating run rampant in the PC side, people could import OP stuff from the PC side. Is not something thats a concern me, but some people care a lot about that.

How well equipped will be the PC version to deal with cheating is a unknown at this point, but is sure that a cheatapocallipse can be a possible outcome.

Meant to reply to this as well, and I agree 100%. Game is going to remain P2P and if SBMM hasn't gone away then it sure as hell isn't going anywhere in the next 3 years, and just lmao if you think otherwise. They might try to claim that that have some ideas that they aren't going to talk about, and if you believe that, well, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Has Destiny ever had a real hidden secret thing? When was the last time anything had some secret ARG thing? Seems like forever.

There was an ARG surrounding the Outbreak Prime quest and a few things have popped up in the game with no announcement or clues (like the Black Spindle or NTTE encounters).

With modern online communities it's almost impossible to give every player their own personal discoveries any more.

Technically is possible, but.. is worth it?

Imagine instead of stock names, weapons had names generated from the seed that decide the perks. Then the name could get has surname the name of the first person to acquire that particular combination of perks.

Then you could make so weapons have a "elite" version with more perks, that are only unlocked after 100 kills. And when somebody do that with a new weapon name, a announcement serverwide shows, and the weapon become available to others in shops.

"Lyudmila-D - Haveblue Elite version available". Your name will be forever part of the weapon you "discovered".

Titan fashion has always been pretty sketchy. If you want to look like a badass you typically end up using bits and pieces from different sources.. I think only the IB sets have looked good when "complete."

Bungie seems to struggle with their aesthetic. You keep seeing hints they want to go down the world of warcraft HUGE SHOULDERS road but never commit fully to it.

Not sure how they could gently caress it up as titans are basically spartans from Halo, and they had no problems making badass tanky armor for Reach.

It could be just that the artist are more interesting in making fun/good hunter and warlocks. Is honestly weird that "Blocky - Robot/Soldier-ske" aesthetic is the one that they have problem with in a science-fiction game, of all things.

Then theres things like the Blacksmith shader not available to everyone. Metal + a good shader = fly cool.

Gotta say, I really love the little tweaks/redesigns the enemies have gotten. It may not seem like much via youtube, but it really does make D2 feel like more of a step up. It makes even familiar looking enemies have a little something extra. I particularly like the new Phalanx shields that have a giant off button in the middle that you can shoot (okay that's kind of dumb).

Re: titans.

Go to about 3:40 here and you see a female Titan with what are vary much D1 legs but with new D2 style shoulders. It's not a good look imho.
