Game is not really going to be free. Is more like a really generous demo. To play the true destiny experience you have to buy the last dlc.

For anyone new to Destiny and Bungie, let me introduce Bungie for you:

Bungie is a terribad company. Expect a simple balance or fix to take many months.
Bungie is really good at two things, gunplay and skyboxes. These dont seems much but can carry this shooter looter to incredible heights. The company comes from making the halos, so they copy the idea of weak enemy, captain and brute. All factions follow this design canon fodder, captain and brute. It happens to be a good setup for a looter shooter.

Destiny is a good forever game, but have another forever game ready because the content drought periods are terrible. Somebody joining now have months of gameplay to get trought.

I was expecting Zavala to be inside the pyramid. Count me has disapointed.

I trough we where getting a bigger dlc this time. Looks like a mountain when you climb it, but when you finish seems a hill.

I agree with most of this and just want to call a spade a spade. It's a pathetic amount of new content for $35. This is a $20 mini expansion at best as it's much smaller and shorter than Forsaken. There are no new enemies, the moon is super tiny, no new public events, one strike, and the story was absurdly short even including the bounty and kill quest padding. There was some good atmosphere and zone design, but this game still suffers from a huge lack of diversity.

It certainly doesn't help that Borderlands 3 just came out. The borderlands story is longer than the entirety of destiny 2 and it's expansions, it has more classes with more build diversity and more enemy types. Granted that game doesn't have pvp or raids, but I've always found the pvp in this game mediocre and I'm not into raiding.

Not all of this is true. The moon is pretty big (probably has big the dreadnoutht) and we have now the nightmare hunts that are somewhat like mini-strikes with his own matchmaking.

Borderlands not having pvp means they can have op weapons, like the porcelain grenades, and is not a problem. Destiny have pvp so must balance things.

Why is it that in Destiny 1 the guardians talk but in Destiny 2 they are mute? Is there a lore reason?

I remember trying Destiny 1 after doing the full Year 1 campaign and expansions up to Forsaken on the PS4 just to see if I could adapt to controller settings and it was something that greatly surprised me. I was not expecting my character to talk at all.

1- theres a school of thinking that mute characters are better because people can project on the whatever attitude
2- is one less voice to record / translate to many languages

Imagine getting mad about only two strikes, the part of the game that no one likes, when there is a dungeon coming out with skeep

I am mad about the nerf of the power fantasy. Exotics that feel like legendaries. But I am poingnant about it. Other people enjoy TomClancy tacticool realism, or Call of Duty style real world ishm. These people play Destiny and what I see has a positive, they see has a negative. When I say "thanks they fixed this", they say "oh poo poo, they broke this". So well.. lets play this version of destiny and enjoy what is there to enjoy it.

Since I stopped playing right around when Black Armory came out, I have basically no idea what to do now that I'm back. Should I just dive head-first into Shadowkeep stuff on the Moon? Are there cool things I should go get from Black Armory?

I like the heavy machine gun you get very early from it, but other than that, I don't feel theres anything special
Once you have this hmg and the jotun quest, you can only do black armory when you feel is exactly what you want to do.

So if I get an exotic at LL 835~, is the exotic stuck around that level unless I feed other gear into it?

only if you want to use it

you can always break it and get from collections so it don't use space in inventory or storage

don't break it if has a accumulative of stats bigger than 50

if you can level without doing anything like that you will save a lot of resources

Speaking as someone that generally dislike PVP in Destiny, what ARE the good PVE guns to go for? I’m still in the level grind to 900 but if there’s something I should keep an eye out for I’d like to know!

What works for me:
God old telesto.
A good machinegun. Hammerhead with void damage would be great for this event.
A good smg.... the vex event can roll good perks, imo. Subjunctive. People use the recluse that is walled behind a pvp grind.
A good handcanon. Theres many options.
For automatic guns, my favorite Ether Doctor, Breakneck is also decent.

my problem with doing raids is that I will watch raid tutorial videos so I do know what to do but by the time I actually getting around to being in a raid I've forgotten everything. so I don't watch raid videos any more

most groups will just be grateful you paid enough interest to try to study it

the good raids have more than one strategy to complete it and the video can be one strat and the group you are playing with have a different strat

Artifact and Season level resets with each level
So any progress there is "wasted" at the next season

Armor continue with us / Progress there will carry with us

We have a nightfall-like assault that give us armor progression materials


my point is we should focus on ugprading our armor and ignore the season and artifact things

AirRaid posted:

It’s worth noting there’s things in the Season Rewards which are unique and unrelated to artifact level, such as some armour ornaments and a couple of weapons (?), so it’s still worth doing that. Especially when doing bounties to get powerful rewards to upgrade your armour actually helps both causes.

Actually yes

Every DLC added a new wave based activity

- Escalation Protocol - just run around mars
- Blind Well - requires dreaming city / enter his area and exit until you find people
- Menagerie - have is own icon on the solar system map - I believe require a questline that start in the floating ship in nessus
- Vex invasions - have is own icon on the moon - require the season 1 - unlocked killing boss from vex events on the moon [We think this is a temporal activity, and will be gone when the season ends. But realistically may change to have the enemies replaced with fallen or cabal]
- Forges - have is own icon on the planet maps. killl poo poo, thrown orbs at machine / have his own npc on the tower
- Gambit - have is own icon on the galaxy map.. kill poo poo, then kill boss, maybe kill invader / have his own npc on the tower

I think thats it, maybe there are more.

Today someone posted the above screenshot of them getting an aggressively mediocre score in a pvp match while using cheats. He was using wallhacks (in a game with built in wallhacks) and a Radar (in a game iwth built in radar). He then went on about how "they just ran into my bullets", thinking he was very good at the game. Instead, he was just hacking.

Also, he tried to play it off like "I don't want to show discord on my other screen".

Using hacks, you mean. hacking is programing the hacks. I doubt this person is verse enough in programming to be a hacker.

If Blizzard can sell Overwatch 2 which will have full (pvp) integration with Overwatch 1, then Bungie IF THEY REALLY HAVE :airquote: CONCERNS :airquote: ABOUT THE GAME BEING TOO BIG can eat poo poo and sell Destiny 3 as a different binary which keeps Gambit and PvP linked to Destiny 2. Or, you know, they could just update Destiny 1 to have the same equipment and balance of D2 and give us D1 for PC.

The problem with having Destiny 2 players playing in Destiny 3 is balance. What if Telesto need to be disabled because a bug in Destiny 2, that is not present in Destiny 3.

For this to work, they would have to syncronize patches and syncronize balance. That is a bit too much for a game company. Game companies are terribad.

Another option would be for DLC's to be extra downloads. So if you want to play the Red Legion campaing, you would have to download that campaign. Maps like 1UA would be on the server. People will be free to download has much has they want.

The way it works now, our installation have everything a player can possibly needed, even if is not accesible just now.

This would require changes in the architecture (that is hard to change) and perhaps will produce a few ulgy bugs.

Anyway Fortnite 2 and Overwatch 2 are not really new games. They are re-releases of the original updated with the current content (that is very different than the original one).

Overwatch 2 is like "Overwatch 1" 2.0

Is a different type of 2.0 that things like Doom 2 or Borderlands 2.
