The Gate posted:I feel like I remember something from D1 (probably in the book of sorrows) where Oryx was suspicious that Savathun had figured out how he was Taking things, and just biding time. A big piece of the puzzle is understanding* the sisters and their individual powers and strengths, their weaknesses, their history, understanding their relationships to each other, to the Ascendent Realm, to the Sword Logic, and so much deep lore cockamamie rigmarole that basically so long as one is alive and kicking, we shouldn't be surprised at their power sets, especially wrt anything the others could do. As I recall specifically, Savathun always had way more power and knowledge than she ever let on, and Auryx, later Oryx, was indeed highly suspicious of her. He attacked her forces at one point without prompt and outside their typical battling of their armies, decimating them, to teach her a lesson. And I also seem to remember that when Savathun dipped out, it was so that her Hive could grow and evolve differently, independently from Oryx's, and that it came directly after Oryx displayed to her what she considered to be devastating naivety. She is, at her most base, driven by a desire to understand all. For this, she especially in contrast to Oryx is dangerous because the question isn't what does she know and what are her abilities, but what doesn't she know and what can't she do? And the fact that her Hive are likely inherently far more a danger than Oryx's Hive, her Taken as well, which doesn't even consider that there's indication she's straight commanding Oryx's old troops too. Seriously can't wait for Taken Queen. *as well as one can be reasonably expected to, which I'm probably lacking in also cvnvcnv fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Dec 9, 2017 |

Echoing, "I wish we had Laser Tag as an official playlist entry." And any other gimmick-modes that naturally develop as we roll along this release. I don't know if it's possible for The Developers to force loadouts in D2 so as to make this possible.

If your first person shooter doesn’t have a low gravity instagib mode then you probably hosed up.Samu posted:I really don't like that you can just sprint through the new strike (even heroic) without killing anything. I like killing goblins as a team not avoiding playing the game to get vanguard tokens. Sprinting past everything and taking your sparrow where it shouldn’t is kind of the thing with strikes even in Destiny 1. I feel like past the first the first playthrough that’s how 90% of the population plays them for better or worse.

Eej posted:Technically if you're old and busted a low TTK PvP game is worse for you because it's more demanding on your reflexes and aim. Right now there's a ton of people who just got the Lens so they're just running around like idiots in the open. Low TTK mostly allows more skilled players to wipe the floor with weaker ones, either by pulling off huge flanks that prey on lack of radar awareness/slow reactions or teamshooting with 3+ lasers to melt you before you even know what's going on. It's fun but it doesn't really suit 30 tick p2p Destiny 2 pvp for the longterm. Yes, it makes it harder to win but because destiny also rewards a loss, I prefer the faster games. I'll never be good at PvP no matter what the speed is though.

Solution- stay back with the slow guy you will often get and kill everything with him as the hombre running ahead dies or whatev. I did that last night on the Mercury strike with the tower and it was a lot of fun, fast guy slowed down and burned rear end with us. Not one enemy left alive.

I wonder if half this game’s problems come from a lack of difficulty. In 95% of the content there are zero consequences to dying so there’s no point in making any encounters interesting or hard. It’s the same problem people had when the first BioShock launched.

Norns posted:I just assumed everybody wanted it done as fast as possible The way I see it is I can't really grind for gear once I've done the weekly milestones. I do the Heroic strikes to test out builds/weapon combos since they can be challenging but not wildly so like a raid or nightfall. I like the infinite forest because you can see how your build works vs Cabal, Fallen ect. all at once. If you wanna run through it that's cool and all but I'll be back here trying to kill everything.

Norns posted:I just assumed everybody wanted it done as fast as possible I'm a weirdo and like going slow and killing everything in D2 strikes because this permits two additional people to earn me exp for Brights. I'll go fast if that's the speed but fast runs aren't saving a lot of time vs potential exp gain, imo. PEs good but there may be a bit if waiting for what may be a quick experience without a lot of enemies. D1 the fun absolutely was in burning strikes as fast as possible. Good times  el B posted:I like sprinting through the infinite forest and going fast because I like jumping puzzles, and this is a fun obstacle course. Also wholly viable. It is fun, go so fast you end up guessing what the configuration is, get into some ridiculous attempts to correct course.

So does Ikora only give you a weapon once per account for doing the Osiris campaign? I did it a second time last night and she never gave me fuckall but an engram.

Right clicking on the Destiny 2 executable and going into Compatibility showed an option to disable fullscreen optimization. I did that, and now i'm running fullscreen windowed at 200 fps. Yay

I've been running it in fullscreen mode but noticed that whenever I alt tabbed over to discord or whatever the game dropped down to 30 fps and wondered about that. On a similar note, I can tell you that Destiny 2 handles alt tabbing just fine without making GBS threads itself like so many other games.

QuasiQuack posted:The taken are a really good and cool concept imo. They're all former individuals who have been "absolved of the burden of free will" and through that process have become incredibly powerful agents of The Darkness. They've been dipped in The Deep by Oryx's invisible hand and are pretty much the closest any faction has come to being the actual Darkness. I agree. Problem is, as a new player to Destiny 2, I had to learn this through the wiki. In-game, they're not helped at all by your only exposure to their lore being Ikora Rey saying they're 'stolen souls' corrupted by 'dark magic'. Sure, once you understand that Rey isn't exactly being literal and she's basically a religious fanatic for the Traveler, sure, you can see something there. But they're basically set up as spooky evil spirits and they feel so boring. My big, big flaw with D2 is that new players aren't told anything. The lore is actually really interesting! But I have to trawl through the wiki and the web Grimoire entries for it. You get enough of the basics to understand what's going on with the main plot with Ghaul and the Traveler but the Hive, the Fallen and so on are basically left completely bare. Stuff like that makes me agree with the thought that D2 feels like a big expansion to D1. Milkfred E. Moore fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Dec 9, 2017 |

I have a large number of gunsmith tokens and only about 60% of the gunsmith legendary weapons. I know they are patching in the ability to buy specific weapons for tokens/shards/whatever, but are standard engram costs changing or anything else? Is there any downside to holding onto all my tokens until Tuesday/Wednesday?

And my throne shall be carved of osmium), as much as she needs to learn secrets and then use them to be the sneakiest, backstabbiest bitch in the universe.

Everybody saying the Taken don't bring anything to the table must be playing with the volume off, because the Taken's whole thing is the loving annoying loud rear end shrieking black speech they start spouting off as soon as one sees you. Seriously, go run into a pack of Taken Psions and wait for your ears to start bleeding. On that note, I'm unironically excited for the inevitable Taken Queen expansion, because the Bungie sound guys are at their best when they get to work with the Hive and their whole space mordor sound aesthetic.
