Re cross-saves, is it a one time thing or can I play the same titan on both my pc and PlayStation and maintain shared progress on each?

yes. you go to bungie.net and choose one account to be your main and that's your main shared account on all linked accounts on all platforms.

Yes. Cross save allows you to designate a platform as your 'main' which will be the account you will see when you log in everywhere. Any progress on your other accounts will be hidden and inaccessible in favor of this main account until you deactivate cross save.

You can deactivate cross save at any time, but there is something like a 90 day period before you can use it again to assign a different platform as your main.

i miss the red war. i won't pretend that it was good b/c it got pretty plodding at times but that doesn't mean it couldn't have been improved upon

bring it back under the excuse of it being a simulated training exercise or something, teach new guardians "hey the light isn't unstoppable, we need to be Extremely Aware of poo poo that can just gently caress us up like that"

It wasn't terrible in retrospect, especially compared to the extreme suffering that came after like curse of loving osiris. If they just did a "director's cut" version that you could blow through in a couple hours it would be better than what they have now.

In this style, 10/6
I loved the red war campaign. It’s what initially got me hooked on the game (same for a friend of mine).

I’m trying to get a couple more friends to join in for raiding, but the new player experience is terrible right now. I’m basically trying to convince them to spend hours grinding light level up just so we can get to the fun stuff. All the while, the game gives them zero context for anything.

It’s not a great sales pitch. If red war was still around, I’d just say ‘go play through that’. They’d come out of it with a basic understanding of the game/ story, and LL grind wouldn’t be as long.

the only good way to bring back brother vance is to have him show up with a totally subjugated infinite forest in tow that's been rigged to do "what if the red war, except with This Guardian instead?"

I had the idea the other day that they should release a new f2p title that's just D2 Y1 & Y2 content with a shared save/vault, but in retrospect that would be kind of dumb.

Definitely some changes to VoG, one is someone will get detained during Time's Vengeance which fucks everyone if they're in the middle stack. They get a brief warning beforehand and a few seconds to get away from everyone else.

I'm happy and surprised that they didn't just copy paste VoG from d1

But I'm disappointed that the changes all seem to make it less fun

We'll see how it feels with a little more practice but it's not a very fun raid as currently in the game

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
far as I can tell, the only real change that affects normal mode runs are the addition of wyverns and champion mobs, and the oracles have a kill order that has to be called out, anything else is specifically a challenge mode addition

it's still challenging in terms of execution instead of being another crappy puzzle raid that d2 has leaned on a bit too much sometimes. simple and hard to do is better than overly gimmicky.

Consensus seems to be that many of the purple guns are very good and the exotic armors are very strong with one bordering on broken.

I had done the same and came back for last season, the battlefields were a cool addition but I burnt out on it eventually like I always do with this game. I basically come back a few times a year for expansions/cool seasonal stuff.

The reward loop from battlegrounds was a little unfortunate on account of how the powerful rewards (3 runs *per powerful*, 3 times a week, no pinnacle) and the upper tiers of engram focusing (5 runs' worth without the extra charges, 2-3 runs' worth with it, for a single roll with a 50% chance to even be the gun you want, let alone a good roll of it) worked out. From what I've seen on the outside the new system's better on that front - an actual pinnacle that's very achievable and much easier to earn data for focusing engrams.

A large part of it is that it's on Challenge Mode, which makes everything hit way harder and punishes mistakes way more.

Do people know what they're looking for out of the raid loot yet? I'm guessing that Temporal Rounds is the big draw, especially combined with Vorpal or Frenzy, but I'm not going "Oooooh" like I did for the DSC weapons.

People are looking for Found Verdict because it has better stats all around than Felwinter's Lie (+12 handling with another potential +10 handling from MW), Corrective Measure which is Hammerhead Mk. II, any of the special/heavies that have Rewind Rounds and Fatebringer rolls with Firefly which is Outlaw + Dragonfly combined and it creates a solar explosion so it also most importantly Creates Cells.
