I'm not gonna pick up D2. I don't want to throw away thousands of hours of my life again. Once you get off crack you don't go back.

Y'all have fun though. I'm sure it will be a great time. Still debating on whether I should watch some twitch streams at work or not. Might give me the itch to pick it up if I do.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

why would you ask playstation about game sharing dude? you're making shit hot. its against terms of service but you can do it. you're not really supposed to tell playstation you do it, and even though they know we(users) do it, they turn a blind eye but they are not going to acknowledge or encourage it publicly. its like an unwritten agreement breh.

Game sharing is ok within the same household though right? me and my wife have been doing it for years, only reason we went full digital.

 

[ekim]

Where are all the channels in the Discord? I can only see the role_management and rules channel.

 

[Lakitu]

Is this out in New Zealand yet?

Who are you trying to convince?

Did you enjoy said thousands of hours? If so, you didn't throw anything away. It's a hobby, embrace it!

 

[Bollocks]

Solo story?

there was some drama this weekend on GAF as it appeared that you have to beat the story before you can group up with your friends to play story missions together.

Gotta tell it to myself every day to not get weak, cuh.

Holy crap, that would be a disaster of epic proportions. I assume it was proven untrue?

 

[figadapaura]

EU here: if I get the physical copy today I won't be able to play until tomorrow? :|

You can play at midnight tonight.

 

[GlamFM]

Holy crap, that would be a disaster of epic proportions. I assume it was proven untrue?

Yep.

 

[Bollocks]

yes, only after like 20 pages lol

 

[Lakitu]

Holy crap, that would be a disaster of epic proportions. I assume it was proven untrue?

Yeah, it's false.

 

[gossi]

Holy crap, that would be a disaster of epic proportions. I assume it was proven untrue?

The developer posted that it was untrue, so the thread got locked. Didn't stop a double digit page GAF meltdown first before any facts.

 

[ShdwDrake]

Holy crap, that would be a disaster of epic proportions. I assume it was proven untrue?

The OP was stretching hardcore. They came out on Twitter and said not being able to coop was "absurd". XD

 

[ZeoVGM]

Good lord. I assume the opening mission will stay single only but that makes sense.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

They're selling this for $110 Nzd ($80US) on PSN. They can kindly fuck off with those prices. Any cheaper places to get digital keys?

Just for the standard edition!?

 

[figadapaura]

Where are all the channels in the Discord? I can only see the role_management and rules channel.

There are instructions in the pin in the top right corner for setting a role. You can't see any of the other channels until you have one.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Gonna play the shit out of this tonight, come midnight. Ideal week to have vacation.

 

[carlsojo]

Yep.

Weren't you the guy that posted that ridiculous thead? lol

 

[Feorax]

Weren't you the guy that posted that ridiculous thead? lol

In all fairness

1. The Prima guide is terribly worded, and IGN did nothing but throw fuel on the fire.

2. It took Bungie a while to actually say it wasn't true.

When is the review embargo up?

There is no review embargo. The servers aren't up yet, so press can't play until we can.

 

[Feorax]

Ah, fair enough.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

1. The Prima guide is terribly worded, and IGN did nothing but throw fuel on the fire.

It referred to the set of single player missions as being distinct from the campaign. In the same paragraph it literally differentiated between the two. Topic was just a mess of people kicking up a fuss over nothing. Didn't help that the OP's title couldn't have been more inflammatory.

Yeah the drama is just really, really, really funny in hindsight.

 

[gossi]

Ah, fair enough.

Expect generic written reviews praising the game from Playstation4life4u Magazine Blog an hour into launch. (I'm not kidding).

 

[Frillen]

Man, I've forgotten so much about the first game, but then again I "only" played it for about 90 hours and only for a month before fatigue kicked in. So basically I haven't touched Destiny in almost 3 years. Anyway, is there matchmaking for regular story missions?

You obviously did not watch the IGN video or saw the second paragraph that specifically talked about "the single player campaign".

Good job on being a dick though.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Weren't you the guy that posted that ridiculous thead? lol

I just looked over the thread. There was nothing ridiculous about making it. The way the guide AND the IGN video worded things made it sound that way.

I remember hearing that in the IGN video myself but thought I was being paranoid. Missed the thread on it this weekend.

The worst part about that thread were the people acting as if that would have been acceptable. People are planning vacation days around playing through the campaign with friends. It would have been indefensible for Bungie to have hid that info.

Thankfully it's not true. But yeah, that thread isn't Glam's fault.

 

[Shambala]

Just checking in again to say Warlock Master race..

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

Yeah the drama is just really, really, really funny in hindsight.

I wish I could find the humour. I've become jaded by all this dumb shit where we have 50+ page threads of raging and not being able to read the most basic things with some logic and thought. Then you get the OP with a "lol woops" at the end, like he hasn't just provoked another needless shitstorm.

 

[Hunter-Zero]

Anyway, is there matchmaking for regular story missions?

Nope, there is not

 

[Truant]

Pre-ordered the PC version, but the PS4 Pro version is very tempting. Must be strong.

 

[gossi]

Anyway, is there matchmaking for regular story missions?

No. They're all soloable however.

Typically not unless part of the 'daily' mission should they be bringing that back, which was just another daily thing to grind for currency. Progressing through the initial story won't have MM but can be done in a fireteam.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

Funny, because I was in the thread quoting the parts of the guide copy that made it distinct to you but you were determined to avoid it. Frustrating when it was obvious you were enjoying the drama for the sake of it.

You're being a jerk.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

You're being a jerk.

Nah, sorry but when you actually read the part of the guide it refers to the SP set of missions and the overall campaign separately. It was pointed out numerous times. It was unnecessary drama, and that gets tiring to see it fill numerous pages.


OP took a rumour, made a dramatic title and then spent the thread arguing its case. That to me is being a jerk but whatever.

 

[Salty Rice]

Yeah the drama is just really, really, really funny in hindsight.

Nah not really considering Bungie could just tell us the most simple stuff not a couple days before release.

I get they want content stuff to be a secret but saying clearly you can do the story coop should have been known since announcement.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Nah, sorry but when you actually read the part of the guide it refers to the SP set of missions and the overall campaign separately. It was pointed out numerous times.

And yet, you keep ignoring the IGN video.

There was valid reasoning to worry.

The guide combined with the video AND Bungie's history of baffling decisions? Please.

 

[Number45]

Nah, sorry but when you actually read the part of the guide it refers to the SP set of missions and the overall campaign separately. It was pointed out numerous times. It was unnecessary drama, and that gets tiring to see it fill numerous pages.

It was being discussed in the Destiny OT at the time and Glam said he was going to start a thread to bring attention to it, hoping to get clarification.

 

[GlamFM]

Frustrating when it was obvious you were enjoying the drama for the sake of it.

Untrue.

I don´t like you.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

The guide combined with the video AND Bungie's history of baffling decisions? Please.

Except the guide explicitly differentiated between the two things and I take that, and Bungie showing off that missions could be played together in the reveal, with more weight than an IGN video.

There's valid concern and then there's making a dramatic thread title claiming there's "no co-op campaign" and spending a thread arguing it.

I don´t like you.

Ok?

Funny - because this is a post of mine in my thread:

Reading it again, it says: This single player set of story missions....

Set - so not all missions.

Unless they do mean all missions and just exclude Strikes and patrol stuff.

Are you being an ass just for the sake of it?

 

[gossi]

Guys, that thread got closed for a reason. It's a drama over literally nothing.

 

[ZeoVGM]

It was being discussed in the Destiny OT at the time and Glam said he was going to start a thread to bring attention to it, hoping to get clarification.

Which he did. Bungie is very bad at sharing info and D2 still has incredibly strange design decisions (Guided Games not available for heroic difficulty, still no optional matchmaking for missions, still only a single emote slot).

When you combine that with the wording in the IGN video, no one would be wrong to worry.

 

[GinoFelino]

Guys, that thread got closed for a reason.

But this is the thread defending the other thread, you see

 

[GlamFM]

But this is the thread defending the other thread, you see

No. I´m defending myself because I´m being attacked personally for no good reason.

I assume you want to join in?

 

[ZeoVGM]

Obviously no reason to argue now.

But there's also no reason to randomly be a jerk to Glam.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

Are you being an ass just for the sake of it?

It said "set of single player missions" in the same paragraph as "the campaign", not sure how you could make it more distinct. No – though I admit this is pressing the point more than I initially intended, I just disliked you shrugging it off as though that entire thread and its title couldn't have been approached in a much more tactful way.

But there's also no reason to randomly be a jerk to Glam.

I'm genuinely unaware of any status people may have in DGAF outside of Hawkian so apologies if I've committed a taboo, I just called it as I saw it and it irritated me trudging through the thread yesterday. As mentioned above though this is going on past that which I'd originally intended.
