Hit that pre-load button it will be worth it.

Destiny even with all of its faults is still one of the best / most fun games of the generation. I don't expect D2 to be perfect but I'm sure it will be a damn good time

Asked before but I think it got lost on the last page. All the character import stuff was done automatically on Bungie's servers last month, right? I'm clearing out space on my PS4 and wanted to make sure it was safe to clear out D1.


Make sure you guys join the clan Discord chat (and everyone else in GAF Gold, lol) to get parties rolling.

Wiesga, ethomaz, & borque are admins, but we could use a couple more to round the herd and party up, lol. We gotta kill it in clan rewards, lol.
 
Think I'm going to run Titan first. Bounced hard off of warlock in D1 and preferred Titans to Hunters so might as well stick to what has worked.

Really damn excited for launch tomorrow night. Been a very, very long time since I planned to come home and take a nap to be ready for a midnight release... I'm thinking Gears of War in high school?

Was waiting for pc but hype got me. I'll trade the Xbox ones or sell them in October for PC versions of this. Too bad my Gamestop got an email and now they don't know when we can come get it tomorrow. It was 9 pm then it might be 10 pm. Fuckin Colorado gamestops get your shit together.

My gamestop called me tonight and said instead of 9pm it's 11pm now.

I've never used Discord so I'm not entirely sure how it works honestly
 
Hunters by far felt the least useful in the beta, but we'll see in practice after release (Since we couldn't see the whole skill trees right?) As far as abilities though, meh. I do love my hunters though.
 
So, despite the fact that I suck at PvP, this was the most gamechanging moment I had in PvP ever. We were down 16000 to 12000 and I started a monster super chain that flipped the entire battle with one move.

My only concern about Destiny 2 is that the reduced Super charge time will lead to a lot less moments like this. When you had a team that could chain supers together it was unstoppable and very fun.

I caved and pre-ordered the game at EB. I was expecting an in-game preorder bonus but just got a figurine. Thinking of cancelling it ... Did I miss out on anything worthwhile?
 
Please forgive the big picture, but there's a point to it. This is a year ago, a few weeks before Drizzay passed. :cry:

I was doing Trials with Igordennis and JustGotWicked, and they were in full carry mode with my heavy butt. After 2 cards, I asked Drizz if he minded just running my account for a card, since I wanted the emblem. He agreed, but said "Do one more card. You guys are right there."

Wicked and Igor and I made it to the Lighthouse, and this is what met me in the Discord. A WALL of HYPE from Drizzay.

Dang I sure do freaking miss that guy. He wanted to help everyone and encourage everyone, and that's what we're trying to do in D2. Thanks for coming by, everyone!!!

GIFs don't do this one justice. But the other team had 19860 points with 2 people about to capture a control point with maybe 1-2 seconds left on the capture. I saw this, popped my super and danced over as fast as I could.

Wait... that was it? That was less than D1 in terms of customization of skill trees then? Or did I miss something. I only saw two, four choice nodes.



Not like it needed to be simplified further than what it was. I thought this was just a sampling.

Yeah, there is a lot less choice in the hands of the player but each "Code" or "Path" is full of more powerful choices than their Destiny 1 counterparts.

It's definitely a change, and there is no way to see if it'll be positive just yet. It has promise though.

There are two sets of perks per subclass that are designed to work together as a spec.
