UGH P2W gameplay impacting microtransaction loot boxes... Really? They kept it clean with money only being for cosmetics in 1 right? It also seems gross and weird to have this going right from the start.

Timed? Deactivated for PVP?
 
Have fun, all you console players.

I've got a month to decide if I want in on the action.

Send me your tanky, brawler builds pls and thank you. I like playing tanks in MMOs.
 
My copy from Best Buy is out for delivery. I think that's the first time I've ever had it arrive a day early. I'm assuming it had to do with the weirdness of being a holiday week?
 
Bought two copies in NYC. Already had the digital preloaded. Installing now to see what happens lol. Looks like cold heart is a first copy kind of promotion not just preorder.
 
I'm sure most people are aware, but Pop-Tart promotions are live on Bungie.net so you can redeem.

The Sparrow gets applied to all linked platforms and you can choose which platform to apply each XP boost to.

Man I'm still waiting for them to text me my codes lmao. It's been 2 days.
 
I think I switched shaders maybe 6 times in 1000 hours of playtime.

Once you got The Hanged Man shader there was no need to change :P

Seriously!? Christ i've switched probably a few hundred times! Some shaders randomly looked amazing with certain gear where there looked like ass with others. Was fun trying to get them all and seeing what looked cool.

I sent my receipt picture yesterday and I'm still waiting on a reply.


... i do t even eat poptarts :(
 
Amazon UK just cancelled my limited edition preorder one day out from release. Nice. Hoping Shopto pulls through and sends out the copy I just ordered from them instead.
 
New gear/missions are starting to pop up on the bungie.net page

Beware to those that don't want anything spoiled.
 
What I don't get is why cosmetics cant net them enough money, if they have to have them at all. What is the need for items affecting stats being able to be bought with $. I just don't see it when Skull Masks, Sparrows and Emotes were massively successful.
 
Will PC Destiny 2 use my Battle.net account name, or will I need to create a unique name to that game?

The beta at default used whatever name was tied to your account. Either your "real name" or battleIDthinger. I'm hoping they'd let us provide our own names but it doesn't seem likely.
 
Yeah that's shitty, hopefully it doesn't get any more egregious than mods. Luckily you get a bright engram each time you level up after level 20 but still.

So after level 20, Destiny turns into Overwatch?

I love the idea of getting an Engram when you level over the cap, but I don't love the idea that these are basically "loot crates" if they are the same thing people can buy with real $$.

And they'll still charge for expansions? Fuck off, Bungie you greedy cunts.

Dang... good point. Those loot crates pay for everything in Overwatch.

So what do these bright engrams potentially contain? How much do they cost in real $$? How long does it take to earn one in-game?

Ugh P2W isn't good--though I've planned to spend a good amount of silver early on D2..

Edit: It doesn't seem really P2W if PvP disables mod from what someone just posted.

Can I buy the other gear or do I have to pay for a chance to get them?

i don't really understand how that's pay to win, tbh. those are bright engrams. you get a bright engram every time you level post 20, and will eventually get hundreds or thousands of them. a real non issue imo

I agree with you on the sale of them, knowing what they offer, but Ill take a free engram over a mote of light for levelling up any day.
