there is no real need for a speaker. He didn't actually hear anything from the Traveler.

we don't know that they knew he was a fraud and there have been other speakers

? Hope things are ok.

yeah holy shit seconded

Can someone link me the MAXIMUM GAINS post that was floating around the OT.

This thread moves fast as fuck.

 

[DarkStream]

Kind of glad this happened while we're stuck in the hospital with a baby under the blue lights anyway.

Holy shit dude. Time to get off GAF! All the best.

The Road to Max Power in Destiny 2

We already 'know' that the first expansion will be fouced around Osiris, what about the second one? Any ideas?

 

[Karamsoul]

Apparently, there are a lot of parallels/homage in the Destiny 2 campaign missions with Halo CE:

Tank missions and the hangar one on board the Cabal ship for example.

Holy fuck, the replies to Bungie's tweet.

This community is absolutely revolting sometimes. (Gaming generally, not Destiny specific and especially not DGAF specific).

I still don't get why Bungie doesn't just hedge their bets and say it's going to be 6 hours of maintenance time. Then when it only takes 4, they're done "early" and people aren't pissed. This happens routinely with like every maintenance they do.

 

[ExtinctionEvent]

'cuz it never works. Sony can't help but be Sony.

Yes it does. It checks once, if you play that game a lit chances are it will just update when you boot up your system.

Just checking in now that its been out for a bit...

Content wise, would you compare it to vanilla including everything up to TTK? bigger? smaller?

Tell the baby good luck with the bilirubin

 

[zethren]

I disagree. Nightstalker has a much better melee option than both other specs (the slow and disorient option), also stealth is fantastic, especially when combined with Stompies to completely vanish from combat. Sure you won't get a crazy multi kill two thirds of the way through the match, but I prefer having presence throughout the entire game.

That's fair. I'm so used to skip nades so I suppose I like having those available to me, but can't go wrong with stalkers in PVP, for sure.

Paused the download, did a PSN network test, and resumed the download. Only going to take about 10 minutes now. It was saying 3 hours for the update at first.

Because people would be pissed if they stayed away for 6 hours, only to find they could have been playing after four instead.

Ahh, that sounds interesting.

Though I was hopin for some more Hive action, their presence is honestly veeeeery disappointing in Destiny 2, especially for me since shooting them is my favorite past time in that game.

 

[Fliesen]

Loading screen "Day One Edition"

edit: just dropped me from "at capacity" to servers "not available"

 

[Z3M0G]

Seriously? Why is my PS4 validating 5 gb. ��

You download a small 5mb delta package, that gets added into the larger 5gb package, then you validate the newly created 5gb package for correctness.

Or are we saying this IS a 5GB download on PS4, but only 50mb on XBO?

 

[Acorn]

Maintenance was extended

Well, no shock since probably hundreds of thousands of people want to get back into the game.

Thanks. This will work.

 

[Aztechnology]

Im gonna assume it's from the laughing sound "kek" 4chan loves. Aka a troll country.

That's how I remember it at least. Kek, was from World of Warcraft when horde spoke orcish, when hearing a hord laugh aka type lol, alliance players would see Kek. At least that's how I remember it, although I definitely remember it because some Orc rogue had just ganked me while I was in the middle of questing or something. So makes sense it evolved into troll/griefer language. I would say kek, and top kek (A eastern European or Russian snack or brand of some kind?) with friends sarcastically because of my wow days. But it never had any context other than like (Wow that's really stupid, look how hard I'm laughing sarcastically).

Jaundice is fairly common so I'd try to avoid worrying too much. My daughter had an issue as well and all was resolved within a week. I wish y'all the best.

Another 30ish minutes as it currently stands I believe.

1 more hr per their announcement

I'll be so disappointed if we get another Taken expansion. Worst enemies by far.

Almost certainly. There's a ton of lore around them. The next time there's a significant Hive/Taken threat it will almost certainly be via Savathun.

It appears to be 50mb on some PS4's too. Can confirm that my download was definitely 5gb though.

Yeah I've seen that theory floating around. Would be cool if true

Yep, I hate the taken. So annoying.

[BakedTanooki]

The game looks so good without HUD.

 

[SkylineRKR]

The taken are shit with their strange movements, duplications and force shields. They were lazy and I can't really take them apart from further back.

So just curious, what's your guys favorite planet?

I actually really like them all, but if I had to give a worst it'd probably be Titan. It's way smaller than the other maps, though the underground Hive section is very cool looking.

The best would probably have to go with EDZ. I'm a sucker for rustic charm plus it's packed with content even if Nessus and Io look beautiful.

Speaking of IO, did they really have to have a second Vex planet? That's 3/4 we've had now if you want to count Mars which was shared with Cabal in D1.

Is IO that planet with the cyperpunk neon backdrops? Thats probably my fave. I wanted to see that with HDR.

EDZ and Nessus are good too and I like how small Titan is, its easy to farm publics there. I also enjoy the walkers a lot.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

In a queue.

Same. Good. I can get an hour or two nap in.

Also, favorite planet it Titan. Feels super inspired and really unique. I LOVED going inside the Arcology. The colors in there were fantastic.

Io does have Jupiter just looking over you at all times which was sick. I just love the whole Alien/Aliens look of Titan.

 

[Karamsoul]

Gone for me too. The guy was just talking about how when playing the D2 campaign, you come across a level on a

ship hangar inside of a huge Cabal ship. The hangar's layout, etc., and the dropship that comes in is just like the level in Truth and Reconciliation from Halo CE.

A few other comments also mentioned

the tank level similarities with Halo, and how the inside of the Almightly is like being inside a Covenant flagship.

I'd love to do this but yeah... need my super and ability info

i actually prefer them over the fucking Vex.

Hobgoblins are so annoying. They're like the (WoW) Paladin of Destiny

Very interesting. Thanks for the heads up.
