What are heroic strikes? Just strikes tuned to be harder?

Nice, that bugged me. Would be nice if you could see a list of your challenges / check challenges before entering an activity.

When I first saw it thought I imagined it, then when I saw it again I thought it was a bug just on my end since my friends didn't mention it. I'm going to miss ol' Jittery Louis. Please tell me someone's created a gif of it, because now I regret never taking some time to capture it.

Cowcaster posted:if i don't get the expansion what am i missing out on, just the new raid? 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.

maniacripper posted:Coldheart is the other, you use pulse rifles or auto rifles to upgrade them, I forget which maybe both actually? Can you obtain coldheart from engrams, or was it pre-order bonus only? I would assume the new story missions is where you'd want to go first / getting to the 25 cap?

Or is it the adventurers? The heroic adventures are doable once per day it seems? Also, what is this prophecy stuff for?

I did normal strikes yesterday for the milestone and somehow got the Exodus Black one three times in a row. What really sucks is I have the quest to do the strike, but it doesn't count unless you do it specifically for the quest. But doing it via the quest doesn't queue you with anyone...

Eej posted:https://twitter.com/DeeJ_BNG/status/938447834365313024 Yeah I think I agree with people Curse isn't worth 20$. I hope whatever the live team puts out is decently substantial. I'd be less annoyed at CoO's value if it wasn't for the MTX. I'm not even bothered by how much is behind lootboxes, it's just the double dipping that seems sucky. I'd maybe concede all of CoO is too much to give away for free, but they probably could have put out Mercury and the light cap increases for everyone, then sold the story content and maybe some cosmetic stuff for like 5-10$? I hope they address the fact that non-upgraders are kinda getting screwed by the light level increase.

cougar cub posted:I want to run around more on the cool old red grass mercury - gently caress the desert setting! Yeah, past Mercury is rad as heck. I was reading up on destiny lore the other week and saw the whole "Mercury was a garden world but then got hosed up by the Vex" and was like 'gently caress I wanna see that garden world" It was cool that Bungie let us see it, but why the heck did they not do more with it? I'm amazed they didn't make the patrol area have past and future sections or something. Although I'm curious what exactly the Traveller did that made it possible for Mercury to be like that.

AAB posted:why do people think they were adding a new social space and that the lighthouse is more than just a planet vendor hut? I think they mean to complain about the patrol area, since you can encounter random people in it. But yeah, it's really kinda lame they didn't make something even half as big as the other patrol areas. The size might have been okay for a free update, not something that's 1/4 the cost of the base game.

Waffle House posted:iirc all activities get a “speed bump” to be on-level. Like there’s nothing that “fell behind” for loot drops afaik I think they're talking about the "soft caps" - like how blues soft capped at 260 before, and legendaries soft capped at 265. I think they're now 300 & 305.

Norns posted:They raised the light level so it's still relevant content for max level players... I haven't done the raid yet but I understand you can pick between normal and prestige? Why didn't they just make "Osiris Normal" and "Osiris Prestige" as new options? Even as an expansion haver I don't know if I really like that they scaled it up. I'd like to check it out but I don't have 5 friends to go with, and I don't know if it's something i want to spend a whole day working on even if I can get people together. Plus whats the point of increasing the light level if everything else just gets stronger to compensate?

Norns posted:Wow deleted an entire continent in one of its expansions What, Cataclysm? They basically deleted old 1-60 and replaced it with shiny revamped stuff and didn't lock any of it behind the expansion. Waffle House posted:Wait I thought Flying mounts was Cataclysm? Or was that not the expansion they had to rebuild everutjing for flying mounts BC added flying mounts but you could only use them in Outland (the BC expansion area) because the rest of the world wasn't built for them. Cata rebuilt the rest of the world for flying mounts.

I thought the whole cert process thing was more of a problem of the previous gen? Like I thought i heard it was supposed to be easier/cheaper for developers to patch their games because the cost in the last gen was prohibitive to the point it created problems for console versions of games. Sucks they can't just hotfix the pc version, its not like there's cross-play. Also, what engram(s) does Positive Outlook come from?

How does trials work? Only heard about it tangentially - never tried. PVP mode where you get kicked out for losing a match? Do you need to queue as a team or can you go in solo?

Poops Mcgoots posted:Didn't they used to claim that didn't manually control Xur's inventory? Cause if so, lol I saw people say this was the claim for D1. I'm guessing they probably just let it be random under most circumstances but have the ability to manipulate or override it if they want so they can do this exact sort of thing.

D1 they really should have put out gjallarhorn after like 6 months but noooo only that first time. They don't pick. Lol. The tweet almost entirely suggests they had a hand in it. Like I said earlier they almost certainly have the ability to override it to do just something like this.

I guess I've been pretty lucky in not running into people just hard camping in PVP. Is that more common in competitive or something? Overall I've found Destiny 2 pvp pretty fun for striking a decent balance on its TTK. It doesn't feel so fast that you can't respond to an attack, but it's also still quick enough that well-place fire brings people down fast. That said, laser tag is stupid fun. Spanish Manlove posted:Please give me a power weapons only PVP mode. Unlimited ammo. Instant respawn. Give Destiny 2 an arcade game mode / playlist that cycles between various "wacky" multiplayer game modes with a variety of hand picked mutators. e: Also, when people say MIDA, do they mean the submachine gun? What makes it so good? It only seemd okay to me and I felt I did way better with standard rifles.

A Buff Gay Dude posted:Who the hell cares about their refunds, what matters is one of the supposed last “good devs” doing insanely bad and anti consumer poo poo. Pretty much. There's a handful of games using cosmetic micro in lieu of season pass / map pack DLC so they specifically don't have to split up the playerbase and create issues like locking players out of stuff. I don't really understand what reason Destiny 2's micro have to exist other then to just be a source of revenue and maybe fund more micro.

Trading up seems neat, but I'd even be happy if there was just a shader storage that had unlimited stack size and enough slots for each shader. I'm an hoarder when it comes to games, let me hang onto stuff, I might need it later.

Lord Packinham posted:They should just have an MMO style subscription to this game. Or they should just fund new content with micro like they said they would / like most other good developers do? Hell, imagine they put out most of CoO for free and charged 10$ for the story missions and maybe some cosmetics. They'd probably make just as much money while earning a poo poo ton of good will and avoiding all this poo poo about gating content.

Cowcaster posted:whats a forge weapons If you finish the merucry story content, you'll be prompted to do some adventures, do those and the vendor on mercury will offer this prophecy item that requires consumables to "fill." Once filled, you turn it into a unique gun, there's like 10 of them. The prophecy consumables come from a specific sources (ie: one is from public quests, one is from strikes, one is from cruicible, IIRC.) and in two rarities. 10 of the uncommon ones and a bunch of legendary shards can be converted into the rare one. wyoak posted:people really really hate micro transactions so no, they wouldn't have any more goodwill Other games like Overwatch are getting away with it. There's obviously still people who take umbrage with micro / blind box, but if you tell your audience it's funding future free game updates, and actually deliver on it, a lot more people are suddenly okay or willing to defend it. Anything would be better then triple dipping full retail, micro blind box AND season pass. Oxyclean fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Dec 12, 2017 |

I don't really understand what faction rallies are and why these changes would cause them to be delayed. Some thing where you turn in tokes and get engrams, faction with the most tokens is the winner?

DrNutt posted:Anyone mad about bright engrams is pretty dumb considering that the game shits 9 of them at you per week with little effort if you have three characters. The XP thing only affected the most broken brained people who feel compelled to play D2 like a 60 hour per week job. Sure, but loot boxes are still for sale. IMO there's no acceptable reason to sell cosemtics unless you're a f2p game or you're using it to fund gameplay updates like Overwatch does. Also, I can't imagine everyone has 3 maxed characters / has the time to grind out all 9 each week either. There's still going to be that emote or ghost or whatever it refuses to drop because it's completely random and not everything is buyable for dust.

Kyrosiris posted:I mean sure, but I just... get over it? Like, cosmetics can have a negative effect on poo poo, but that's only if the core gameplay loop isn't doing it for me (like Overwatch). Destiny 2 is enjoyable enough that, yeah, while I'm sad I didn't get the salt emote, I'll get over it because playing the game in and of itself is fun enough. I mean, I find Destiny 2 fun and I'm not particularly ruffled by MTX cosmetics. It's just a matter of comparing it to other stuff in the industry. Usually MTX funds free updates - it's how F2P games work, it's how some games get away from season pass / paid DLC so they don't split player bases. The few games I've seen do MTX and paid updates usually only do really big paid updates. It just seems kind of dumb, poorly thought out, and consumer-unfriendly? Like MTX usually works by having a low barrier to entry so you can capture as many players as possible. If you're gating a majority of your game through paid DLC people are going to fall off and be less likely to spend on the MTX. With Overwatch, free updates bring me back to the game and I usually end up spending money because I want some of the new poo poo or whatever. Destiny 2 I thought about buying the eververse starter and went "oh wait I just spend 40$ on the season pass, gently caress that."

How do faction weapons work? I have two dead orbit ones despite not yet participating in a faction rally. Do they just have a very low drop chance from legendary engrams? Also, is there a reason I occasionally get higher level legendary engrams? Not powerful ones - ones I decrypt at the dude. Like I'll have a bunch of 305 legendary engrams and one will be 311 or something like that.
