There's no need to rush to be an adult.


The Karnstein change really depends on how the health boost works. If it's over 50% for a kill, then you basically have a consistent devour effect with a burst of smg ammo and a slap in the face. Going to have to test this out to see how bad/good it is.

Expansion is new Story stuff, Mercury zone, 2 new strikes, and 2 new crucible maps, and level cap to 25.

No idea how light level cap works for non-expansion havers - the recommended light level went up for a bunch of things. Though it'd be weird to basically invalidate a bunch of people out of content so I imagine the light cap is open for everyone.

Every hit restored about 15-20% health, and a small chunk of class/melee/grenade. With stormcallers you could use the chain lighting melee to tear through crowds and be kept alive by the health restoration, where devour locks could essentially devour forever with grenade and melee recharge.

Makes handling ads a joke, as it's easy to get melee kills in 1-2 hits and the health regen kept up with enemy damage numbers.

Gotta see how they play now, though.

I purge anybody after 15 days of inactivity. If you want anything changed just let me know. I’ll do whatever I gotta do.

This is not technically correct. On mouse and keyboard there is no aim stickiness but this is only one part of what people think of as “aim assist”.

Each gun changes the size of the hit boxes to varying degrees, even with mouse and keyboard, so this mechanic of aim assist is still present. This should be obvious if you’ve played a bit, and has been confirmed by the devs.
