What was your power level when you did that? I didn't know about the anomalies but in the end even with the extra time we would have still failed
Can i get in on group 2 please? Psn is CptSupermarket
Hunter currently sitting at 261.

Added you. If you have time in the next few days, run through your weekly milestones (Call to Arms and Nightfall) to help boost you up as close to 270 as you can get.
Oh and don't get worried if Mike and Tommy start arguing about tea for a minute of two, that 's what you get with a proud Brit & Irishman that love their tea....
Thanks and will do milestones. As long as they drink yorkshire gold we'll get along just fine.
Can I interest you in a proto-newbie-raid tomorrow night EST?
It isn't possible to solo the raid; it also doesn't suck
I would say if you intend to play literally solo, it isn't worth it at present. Wait for a version with a bunch of content collected for a $60 price point entry, and you'll get a ton of value. If you don't intend to play with others in any way there's some fun to be had but you'll miss out on the best the game has to offer and reach the end of that tunnel much more quickly.
However, do note that you are already in a great place to find people to play with if you are willing to do so.
Absolutely in for 8pm BST (I assume British Summer Time?)! I have a hunter and a warlock around 293+ (depends on my loadout).
PSN name is the same as my gaf name, woot.
Guardians the
(D2 end campaign spoiler) are for D3 right?
is discussed here a bit https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyThe...arec_the_darkness_and_future_dlc_raid_bosses/
No way Bungie would introduce a whole new enemy type just for a DLC.
Yes I know about the Taken, but they were just a reskin. Maybe we get some alternative reskin for D2 DLC.
I think that we are going to be shooting the same enemies until D3 imo.

I added you to the list. with Mike and Tommy.
Hell yeah! Just to confirm, because timezones, BST = British Summer Time?
Cornbread78
Member
yeah. Right now, Mike and Tommy are on the same time because of BST, but soon enough they will be an hour apart. Damn timezone nonsense.... lol.

Prestige Nightfall worth chasing before reset, or just hope for an easy roll tomorrow? Have yet to do one and am mainly just interested in getting the trophy.
Timezones are absolutely fucking shit when you have to deal with multiple time conversions in software.
But good to know, totes looking forward to it!
Cornbread78
Member
lol, yup.
London and Ireland are at the same time right now, but when bst ends Ireland will be an hour behind London time...
I'm EST and we are always 5 hours behind London, so their time change must be at the same time as ours,...

I could be wrong but I don't think the intention here is for them to shelve all that until Destiny 3. Whatever it is, it will be part of the focus for the first major Destiny 2 expansion likely in the Fall of 2018.

but all would be right in the world if they did give us a new enemy to battle with the first DLC and grew that lore through the next few DLC packs.

It would be nice if they introduced something new. Most of this game feels like one giant re-skin so far.
I would be pleased as punch with a Daniel-type NPC, myself. Asher is the closest we have, and he's a douchenugget

Still hilarious how enemies in this are just super sized versions of trash
Captain > Archon > Kell > Named Fallen Captain
Hell you would think. Devil Walkers would get a 2.0 version, nope they just throw 2 if you make PTEs go Heroic
Like in this infinite space, there's these alien races and the only thing setting them apart is how bigger and names they are than the rest...

This is just wild speculation, but I am 100% confirming that the inside Gauntlet team will be dealing with some floor is lava platform hopping foolishness. That setup just screams, 'Hey the floor is going to drop out.' That water also looks like bath water.
Also, I'm dead serious when I say Warlock jump is the best jump for Gauntlet. Easy mode. Miss an orb? "Who cares!?"
Miss two orbs? "We can still recover."
Miss three orbs? "I'm I Warlock. I got this."

I want to believe this
In D2 i was expecting fallen walkers to... walk. They still just turn around.

I'm going to need to see a video of this, because I'm always the last one through on my Warlock in the Gauntlet. Their jump is just way too floaty even with the speed boost guide. The only way maybe I could see them being fast enough to not worry too much about picking up orbs is blink, but I can't reliably platform with it.
I don't think an expansion is out of the realm of possibility, but I'd also bet on D3.
They're going to need something big like new subclasses and new enemies for a big TTK expansion though.

Can you even shoot the 'shoulder' gun off the D2 walkers. People used to do that in D1, but I've not seen it in D2.

Along that line of thinking. I think it would be pretty cool if they implemented some "legendary" events/enemies like Pokemon' Go that would kick off until 9-12 guardians showed up, then threw a giant bubble around that portion of the map on each server and then offered a couple scenarios at random.
Would love to try and take down a giant baddie or hoards of tough enemies with a bunch of other folks... I wonder if their engine could handle this type of thing and how many players they could max these events at?
Everyone I run the raid with just knows I'm going to die at that part ahead of time, so they push forward with that assumption...

Just had a great experience playing the nightfall through guided game. Met two guys from Pennsylvania and completed the nightfall on the third try. They were super friendly and approachable from start.
I love these kinds of multiplayer experiences.
I love these kinds of multiplayer experiences.
That would be too epic. We can't have that.
I never tried.
You know, it's so weird that their ARMORED legs are their weak spot. Just like cabal shields have their weak spot in the middle. The spot that should be stronger...
I imagined flashpoints would be nightfall versions of patrol zones. Harder enemies, modifiers. Bosses wandering around. A huge boss battle in a huge area with a message broadcast warning all guardians in the vicinity.
I still love this game. But there's so much wasted potential. It's sad.
slayerage made a great post on reddit regarding the state of the game.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/757x6s/on_power_balance_and_commitment_issues/
This is the line that resonates with me most:
It's totally true, and the problem currently with fixed rolls. None of them feel like anything special. If you want to do static perks, they all have to be great. None of them should feel like an average roll from D1, which an overwhelming majority of them do.

Is there really no way of changing the campaign's difficulty?! I remember there being the option in Destiny 1,but apparently it was patched out there too?
What was the benefit of removing it? The gunplay is good, but right now it all feels trivial, and you shouldn't have to get to post game content to fix that.

I agree with everything he said. The part that sucks the most is that there are so many little things Bungie could do that would drastically increase enjoyment of the game for everyone. This post hits on a lot of them.
The only good news, as I've always said, is that Bungie tends to listen. I fully expect the next DLC to address many of these complaints, which are made on a daily basis by many folks.
Having read slayerage's post, I disagree with like 90% of what he has to say, and I dislike all of his suggestions. For my own personal sake I really hope Bungie remains steadfast in making a game that respects people's time, unlike D1 or people's misguided idea of what D2 should be.

Is anyone interested in a "blind" Prestige Raid tomorrow at launch (10 AM PST), right on the dot? Not going for world first or even close, but going in as soon as it's up and hopefully getting through to the end. Just need to be at least 300 PL, and be experienced with the normal mode raid and all its different roles (Ie. Running the orb at gauntlet or doing the shadow realm at Calus), in case the the Prestige mode randomizes who gets to do what in an encounter.
If you're interested then let me know!

I'm sure Bungie will improve the game as time goes on. But how long will it take? Will we still be around when they do?
I legit thought this was how it was gonna go down

Equip lower Power weapons and the campaign gets more difficult. I think that may actually be the equivalent of the Heroic option in destiny 1 campaign, I think that just increased the level of the enemies without actually changing anything else.
Yeah, I totally agree with most of that. I love the idea of building toward a god roll weapon. Hopefully the game will get better with passing expansions, I would love to play it more, but right now don't see the point.
Also, I'm getting an infection threat warning from some picture on this page, some picture of "jabbas_throne_room"?

Destiny needs to increase the customization. Increase the number of mod slots. The slots can be used to add the perks to differentiate your weapon. Have exotic mods. I want to focus on rifts and grenades. Let me put these skill points there. Things like that will give the game life. It's a level of investment that causal players won't notice and will give the dedicated base something to be invested in
