Well...I'm pissed.


I preorder a standard edition X1 copy of D2 in March. It's clear Amazon had some issues and ended up shipping the game out on the evening of the 5th, with an arrival date of Sept 6. It's now the evening of the 7th and both the postal company and Amazon are not able to give me an update on the package, saying that it should have been delivered by now.

The tracking information has also not updated for over 24 hours and still says "in transit."

Amazon says they can give me a refund which is great, except for the fact that I saved $30 through them and given the delay I now cannot receive the pre-order bonus if I order from another retailer.

Wanted to vent but also ask if anyone had any suggestions. Located in Canada.

 

[dedhead54]

How do I get the item for the subclasses? Just keep playing like normal & hope for a drop? I'm level 9 & haven't seen anything yet.

I'm pretty sure I found mine in random chests in the EDZ. I think they are a random drop.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Just on IO....holy shite the music in this game is incredible, like I'm actually blown away .

 

[xviper]

why would they added a timer to Nightfall ?? do they simply want to ruin it ?

this is completely a game breaker for me

 

[LNBL]

I'm pretty sure I found mine in random chests in the EDZ. I think they are a random drop.

I got mine from public events

 

[J-Skee]

They drop in chests from public events, Lost Sectors, etc after you hit level 7 and 14

I'm pretty sure I found mine in random chests in the EDZ. I think they are a random drop.

Literally as soon as I posted that, I got it out of a loot box in EDZ. Now to unlock it.

Io's my favorite destination. I love the look and vibe of it. Feels more like a frontier than the other planets that have been fully settled during the Golden Age and after the collapse.

 

[Balls]

Anyone know what the cooldown for lost sectors are? How long would I have to wait before repeating the same one?

 

[Smiley90]

It's just a new modifier. Nobody said they'd be easy.

 

[anothertech]

I just

Spoiler

met Asher Mir and he has given me a choice of three

Exotic weapons; Graviton Lance, Sunshot or Riskrunner. Suggestions?

Sun shot all day. Holy sht that hand cannon.

Spoiler

Exploding rounds, fast reload, shield beaker

, it's amazing.

 

[Hawkian]

You guys are awesome thank you.

That makes sense cause I just got an exotic that's level 11 and it would be cool to make it relevant. What a cool system I didn't understand how that would actually be useful before. Cheers

NP! Yeah IMO it actually is a great system

Spoiler

and it did not exist in any form in Vanilla Destiny o.o

 

[Tovarisc]

... what's Faction Rally?

Old Factions (DO, NM, FWC) coming back to town most likely.

If what I heard in VO files is accurate they should be doing something interesting with them this time around.

 

[Hyun Sai]

How is the Sunshot handcannon compared to the Graviton Lance in PVE ?

 

[Trakan]

Got a new challenge. 'Red legion Raiders Loot 3 cabal supply caches. Anyone know what these are about? Not as simple as opening chest on earth unfortunately

Did you manage to do this one? No idea what to look for

They are just the simple chests, but you need the cabal looking ones. They're around the north-western part of the EDZ.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

Is Xur even coming back? How do we pay him if so?

 

[Smiley90]

Also he comes on Tuesdays??? Does this mean he's actually there for a week and If we are acrewed a weekend now we still have plenty of time to get what he sells

The picture says Friday. (Next week, not tomorrow)

 

[Roddslayer]

Super curious/excited to find out what Faction Rally is.

 

[Snapshot King]

So how's the endgame stuff structured about now? It's not about grabbing a billion aluminum and ores to upgrade a weapon is it?

 

[RoboPlato]

Upgrading weapons isn't even a thing anymore. All perks are unlocked and rolls are fixed. Lots of different stuff to do to get gear this time.

 

[Spartancarver]

Man.

It is taking so much self control to wait for the PC version.

I can't believe it's launching almost 2 months late. Ffffuuuuuu

 

[arimanius]

Do I need to do all of these adventures or will they level up if I skip them?

You're making me regret my choice...

 

[Hawkian]

How is the Sunshot handcannon compared to the Graviton Lance in PVE ?

They are both just damn, damn fine weapons.

Honestly this is the first I'm hearing that the PC version isn't day and date. That's pretty dumb.

you literally can't even if you want to haha. weapons come fully upgraded/unlocked on pickup

...hahah i just realized, all the planetary materials do now (at least so far) is help you get more guns

 

[xviper]

It's just a new modifier. Nobody said they'd be easy.

not about the difficulty

now you have to rush to beat the timer, you can't focus anymore, you can't be patience and take your time to defeat a tough boss, it's a chaos

in Year 2 they ruined Nightfalls a little bit by adding checkpoints, i didn't like them but they are acceptable, but a damn TIMER ?? that is one of the worst ideas Bungie has ever done in their gaming career

i hope they fix it ASAP, i don't think they will bring back Year 1 Nightfall system but i'm okay with Year 2, just don't take my fun away with a fucking Timer

 

[Lizzy]

I've done three public events and still haven't gotten my subclass unlock item ((((

 

[Badgerst3]

Are golden loot chests scaled?

Level 10, wondering what kind of loot I will get now from EDZ chests...

 

[Assanova]

This has got to be the best shooter I've played since the original Halo. Absolutely amazing. I don't even like solo shooters, but I can't stop playing the campaign. I haven't even really gotten to any of the multi-player stuff yet, outside of a couple crucible games and a few public events.

 

[carlsojo]

Hey guys I think my game has a pretty major bug. :/ I keep trying to replace my ghost with Failsafe but it doesn't work at all. In fact I don't even see the option anywhere?

Anyone else with this problem?

Was Y1 Nightfall really that good?

How it all was designed encouraged cheese strats and playing über safe. With checkpoints you were able to be tad more aggressive in your approach.

Timer encourages even more aggressive and active style of approaching Nightfalls and I like it. At least on paper as I'm waiting for PC release. You also have means to gain time, this week it's kills.

Oh, there is also Prestige Nightfall that locks your loadout.

What level are you? Do you have the second subclass one already? You can only do one quest at a time.

[cackhyena]

Nah - I picked it up fairly quick. Never played Destiny.
Having a blast.

join dgaf

Just might, thanks.

Bungie pls fix

 

[phoisgood495]

Help... I already preordered the game on PC, but I'm getting super jealous of all the people already playing, and my resistance to double dipping is dropping

 

[ViciousDS]

Level 10, wondering what kind of loot I will get now from EDZ chests...

They actually carry tokens for level 20 use and do scale. So opening them now won't actually hurt you!!!!

 

[Floody]

Is the Kill-Tracker Ghost Digital Pre-Order only? Friend who Pre-Order a physical copy has got everything but that.

As long as they are able to engineer their Nightfalls to not simply be ridiculous bullet sponge hellscapes then I'm cool with them experimenting left and right with the formula. The original Nightfall felt intense and sketchy the entire time. Wiping was horrible but godamn did it make you pull your A game.
the problem was what you spoke of. People taking forever or just sitting afk while others go to work. They can limit and punish this with a timer - which is fine - but they HAVE to go back to the drawing board on their fight design.

I haven't made it in yet so others can probs speak to this but if it's the same "shields are way strong and lots of HP so I hope you can damage them out in between hiding from volleys of rockets!" bullshit that every Nightfall ended up devolving into then a timer is gonna look like a super lazy attempt to put something... anything new into the Nightfall for the newness sake.

Is the Kill-Tracker Ghost Digital Pre-Order only? Friend who bought a physical copy has got everything but that.

yes pre-order bonus only.

 

[broony]

Thinking about raid builds.

For warlocks.

Spoiler

I've got some exotic legs which are called
Lunafaction boots
They give the ability of auto reload for anyone who stands in my rift.

Spoiler

I'm a voidwalker with devour. So I can top my health up killing adds without reloading. I kill adds.

I've seen an exotic fusion which rate of fire increases when the target doesn't kill. Could be the new ghally.

So I trigger my rift, using the extra damage perk, team stands in it, teams shoots turbo fusion rifles which fire faster and faster without reloading.
Teammate nightstalker arrows boss.
Boss gets melted.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

Holy fucking shit. Full auto sidearms.

 

[MythicReclaimer]

No Xur tomorrow is probably partially due to Legendary Shards being extremely hard to come by considering how new the game is and the fact that it is the same currency for both Infusion and Xur.

 

[RedRaider]

Just decoded an exotic engram and got the Mericless Fusion Rifle. Has anyone used it and is it any good?

 

[Hawkian]

Holy fucking shit. Full auto sidearms.

Got a legendary to recommend?

I love my Dissonance-34. You can't use it like a regular "good" sidearm at all but I am enjoying the hell out of it, even in the Crucible. Suros, they make some good shit I tell ya

 

[Lizzy]

What level are you? Do you have the second subclass one already? You can only do one quest at a time.

I'm at level 8 and doing public events to get this item to drop like people told me earlier.

 

[broony]

Just decoded an exotic engram and got the Mericless Fusion Rifle. Has anyone used it and is it any good?

It looks really good. I posted about it just above.

 

[Truphenom]

Almost at light 230.

Finally got my night stalker, didn't know how badly I missed it.

Enemy of my enemy was a pretty fun quest.

The baby fatebringers are fun, but make me miss the original 😕.

All in all, loving the hell out of the game, instantly brought back all the destiny 1 feels.

 

[Floody]

yes pre-order bonus only.

Physical or Digital doesn't matter? Seems he got screwed if so. He got all the other stuff.

 

[RoboPlato]

The subclass missions are really well done. Simple in design but great atmosphere and mystery around them. Super satisfying too.
