You got answered already but to back them up The Stranger’s Weapon Pack you get for preordering has been confirmed by Bungie to NOT be seasonal content. Season of the Hunt’s content has been barely touched on. NTTE will be a world or quest drop.

This is what is on Bungie’s website right now about NttE

quote:

*Available with Beyond Light + Season, Digital Deluxe, and Collector’s Edition during Season 12. All players with Beyond Light can acquire it after Season 12.

It sounds to me like even if it is a world/quest drop it won’t be available to the masses until the second season

My favorite D2 raids are Crown of Sorrow and SotP because even with brand new people you can finish it without taking 3 hours

You can totally carry a brand new noob through CoS, I’d just make sure to be paired with them for phase 1 thunderdomes with a Lumina to keep them alive and then everything else is pretty straightforward

At least he’s distinct. There’s a mission on earth where the two people in your earpiece are Hawthorne and Sloane and without subtitles it’s almost impossible to tell which serious duty-focused lady is which

If you're looking at statistics about the quantity of content lacking from this release you're missing all the behind the scenes work that went to rebuild the foundation of this game from the ground up to support further content down the road.

Well sure, but they say that every expansion. Forsaken was laying the groundwork for reintroducing randomly rolled guns, Shadowkeep was laying the groundwork for the armor system getting overhauled, now BL is laying the groundwork for missions getting overhauled or something

They are telling a story about gods, but without overt dues ex machina from one side. Yes, it's going glacially slow in that regard and even the characters in game are feeling it, so it's obviously an intended story telling element.

Honestly the problem with most of the Destiny 2 writing is that it feels like it’s always about the same 8 or 9 people even though the characters have always been the weakest part of Bungie’s writing compared to the fictional races and civilizations. The iconic parts of Halo are the Flood and the Covenant, while the central character is a faceless helmet that speaks maybe one full paragraph per game. I liked the Beyond Light campaign because I’m 10000x more interested in what’s going on with the Fallen than I am in reading yet another lore entry about goddamn Eris Morn or Ana Brey. And based on the post-Eramis story so far I might be in for disappointment.

What the gently caress even is a stasis titan super final blow? I'll kill like 20 enemies with my super and my counter will go from 8/90 to 10/90.

My advice is to only use the punch not the heavy slam, the slam does basically zero damage and won’t count for final blows

Yolomon Wayne posted:

As a Titan, all quest objectives with "kill combatants with stasis damage" make me shiver since the stasis-super is basically a striker in a darker shade of blue.
Grenades that dont kill dont make this easier.

The secret to “stasis damage kills” is to use finishers as the stasis subclass (but only use your default finisher animation)

Many pages ago, or possibly in the last thread, there was a discussion about how Strength is a bad/weak stat - why is that?

It’s mainly that there’s a lot of ways to recharge your melee with exotics and armor mods, so if you want to make a build where you’re using your melee all the time you can just equip montecarlo or something instead of divesting from better stats like intellect

Yeah the whole raid is same complexity as final boss of GoS and also CoS. Seemingly intensely complicated but once you've got a groove for your personal role it's a cinch

Good, I’ve enjoyed all the post-Forsaken raids way more than Last Wish (needing to print out a cheat sheet of icon names to refer to every 2 minutes was not enjoyable)

It works better when you use the punch as a means to shatter ice instead of trying to land any direct hit on anything not significantly larger than you. It would be nice if the punch had either better tracking or more damage to compensate for the extra skill necessary to use it well.

The stasis punch is titan’s single best movement ability and honestly I’ve found it most useful to gtfo from tight situations than for killing

It’s not a very competitive gun but it is a very fun gun. Besides making melee ability kill quests easier, you can pair it with a lot of different classes. My favorite is with wings of sacred dawn and top tree dawnblade, just chucking fireballs left right and center

The quest is pretty easy and the longest part can be done just by getting crucible kills so I’d suggest getting to that point and then diving into the IB
