Support NeoGAF

[piratethingy]

Mind another tagging along?

Alright, logging on. Had to catch the last bit of Whiplash first. Again, no mic from me due to these coughing fits I'm having.

OK boys we just finished waiting for your to join

 

[igordennis]

They already abandoned Dinklebot so it's just a matter of time.

But its so pretty and big and round *_*

 

[Namikaze1]

I would like to see them give some love to the Cabal. Main game was heavily focused on Vex. Subsequent expansions focused on Fallen and Hive. Hive are getting a lot of love though. It's time for Spongebob's dad to show up.

Yesss i want to see a Raid based on them! Imagine what the boss will look like.

 

[Namikaze1]

Uh what?

We used to call Valus Spongebob.

I still do even after he got nerfed.

 

[AmateurHour212]

Uh what?

You know, Valus Tau'rc (spelling?)

He has a dad. Phallus Tau'rc.

Boom. I'll be here all week, only tip your waitress if she didn't spit in your food.

 

[k1t4j]

1 spot for PoE 34 join on Raybunzy

 

[Raybunny]

Dayum 5 minutes and already on a different page.

As @k1t4j said.

1 spot for PoE 34

 

[MrAnderson]

They never began it though.

They kinda did...

Isn't the traveler going to be the final boss of Destiny 2?

Hah...

Spoiler

maybe?

Oh right, the traveler is still a thing in Destiny. It feels like it should basically be the focus of a lot more stuff. I mean, this thing can bring us back from the dead, protect the last human city, and give us all super powers. I would think that it would be a bigger deal!

It had potential, but the assumption is they scrapped it because the guy writing the story left.

They already abandoned Dinklebot so it's just a matter of time.

He is actually coming back in TTK.

Agree 100% on the Cabal. I love fighting them because of their music. But hey...the Psi attacks are nonsense.

 

[GhaleonEB]

We are on the same page for the most part, it's just one of my hot buttons. Bothers me that Bungie now has to spend resources, however minor they may be, to account for someone else's irresponsibility and laziness.

Anyway, what time does the update usually release?

Between 3-5 pm PST is when the BWU's tend to be posted.

As an aside, if this week's is as meaty as last, I'll be making a thread on the Gaming forum summarizing them and creating a space to discuss the pre-TTK BWU reveals.

 

[EroticSushi]

He is actually coming back in TTK.

They hired him again for TTK?

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

What the hell? I can't connect to Destiny servers and PSN is down for me.

Sorry Kojirospath and Blackprophesy. I won't be able to continue...

 

[Namikaze1]

Well, that was a one-sided match.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

Works well once you figure out the youtube URL that it's willing to accept.

Nice, this looks easy enough to use! Yeah I have a few Destiny gifs I want to make.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

I thought Kotaku asked Luke Smith about that and he said no?

 

[xplicitone]

Xb1 controls feels so different it's insane! Maybe the Elite controller will make it feel better.

 

[Kojirospath]

Sorry Kojirospath and Blackprophesy. I won't be able to continue...

We figured that, don't worry about it Blackprophesy had to leave too so I'm solo now.

At round 3 was it? Anyone want to do PoE 32? Joinup on kojirospath on psn Trying to solo it now

 

[Nuszka]

Ok,polish chicken broth is the best thing on this planet. My destiny skills just have ascended...wait till Tuesday.

Can't wait for the synopsis!

Do you think they will do live streams again for the reveal? I know the streamers that went for HoW streams have opted out from going on the next one.

No worries. PSN is very temperamental lately.

 

[igordennis]

FINALLY finished levelling the warlock subclass for the trophy. What a horrible class

I'd guess so, but I'm not sure. TTK is a much larger expansion than HoW was, but the streams were very successful at generating interest from the player base.

They are following the same general playbook as the HoW reveal so far: lead with the bad news (no raid / $40 price point) then bury that news slowly over the intervening weeks between it and the release, with a steady stream of reveals. HoW was masterful in hindsight for leading with the economy changes, demonstrating the extent to which they were rolling back TDB mistakes. I'm really not sure what bit piece they'll lead with for TTK. If I had to guess, some strikes and some of the new activities are on deck.

I'm not expecting anything major until Gamescom, though, which Bungie themselves have elevated as being a platform for some major reveals.

 

[piratethingy]

Well, that was a one-sided match.

We've had a couple real nail biters now

 

[LiK]

Dat feel of $149.99+tax

 

[piratethingy]

I want to touch one real bad just to see what those phat stacks get you.

 

[E92 M3]

Dat feel of $149.99+tax

Way worth it for core gamers.

 

[Lnkn52]

Way worth it for core gamers.

I think at that price, you should be able to customize it a bit more. Add some color selection.

 

[Kyoufu]

Remorse.

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

Way worth it for core gamers.

Thing is. Young kids will be wanting it too because it will 'make them better' and if you've not got one you're 'not any good'

I wonder how many of these will go to kids in the 7-15 range.

 

[420bits]

Anyone alive from the DestinyGAF clan? I need to run a strike for Strength of the Pack-trophy

 

[E92 M3]

True, but as it stands it's very customizable and I like build quality, which is most important.

Honestly, I don't see a lot of young kids getting this. Maybe some will for Christmas.

 

[LiK]

Way worth it for core gamers.

I would consider it if it went on sale. Mainly for Halo and driving games.

 

[MrAnderson]

I thought Kotaku asked Luke Smith about that and he said no?

Maybe he did. I thought I saw somewhere in bullet points for TTK that ghost was coming back. I just assumed that meant dinklage would ToO. Probably my bad on that.

 

[AmateurHour212]

I like the XB1 controller a lot better. What are the differences you're experiencing?

I will say the Ps4 UI is so much easier to use.

 

[ocean]

I don't have an XB1 but have serious, terrible controller envy. So damn good. I'd easily give US$150 for a PS compatible XB controller

 

[piratethingy]

Remorse.

Idk man I've spent a good 1k on games in the last year alone, I could definitely see $150 for something you use every day if it's really nice and stands up to punishment.

 

[noomi]

Hahaha! I noticed! Not very good with the whole video thing

Remade it and this is the one showing it properly

There ya go! That was pretty awesome man! <3 hunters

People don't learn yo

nooblet MLG sniper!

Seriously I would love to get on this level of sniping. I keep practicing but I'm pretty awful.

Ok,polish chicken broth is the best thing on this planet. My destiny skills just have ascended...wait till Tuesday.

Rosol? Hell yeah dude, my parents used to make that all the time when I was younger.

Dat feel of $149.99+tax

Wait... a $150 controller? The hell?

I don't have an XB1 but have serious, terrible controller envy. So damn good. I'd easily give US$150 for a PS compatible XB controller

I use a xbox one controller for my pc gaming, it's very nice. My dualshock has the xbox one analogs though ,which is way better than those crappy ds4 nubs :|

 

[Orochinagis]

This is embarrasing but anyone have a PS+ code for at least two days, I ran out of PS+ and I just want to try ToO for the sniper rifle =c

 

[Nuszka]

Dat feeling when you know you can own everything and everyone even via remote play, priceless...

 

[LiK]

noomi, you didn't watch the MS E3 presser?

 

[rasengan1337]

Today is the day I get killed by Skolas for the first time <3

it's not so much Skolas, but the freekin Captains, or the Vandals and their wire rifles, or the taint, or failure to complete the mines, etc., that get you.

 

[noomi]

noomi, you didn't watch the MS E3 presser?

Oh wait.... yes I did. That's that special xbox one elite controller right? Shit... I didn't realize it was going to be $150.... wow.

Dat feeling when you know you can own everything and everyone even via remote play, priceless...

You've been drinking today... haven't you?

 

[Homeboyd]

it's not so much Skolas, but the freekin Captains, or the Vandals and their wire rifles, or the taint, or failure to complete the mines, etc., that get you.

- 10 second buff to devouring essence
- 5 second buff to mine timer
- all phases should have the same AI spawns (AI still are continuous until you start mines right now I believe.. maybe until you get to devouring.. cant remember)
- add guaranteed primary elemental drop
- add another etheric to the chest
- get rid of lightswitch and small arms
- add a trials-like checkpoint passage card to save CPs (cant pass CPs around with this card)

DONE. Then maybe I'll want to run it vs dreading it every single time.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Tuning in!
Won't be able to follow it thoroughly as I'm at work, but this will remind me of the good times I had when you carried hedera and me through it last Tuesday.

You are in the right hands, Wheelhoss and Galavita!

It was no carry, it was a team effort, just like today.

Dang missed Gorgon. I knew I should have checked this thread earlier instead of working.

I can load it up now.

GIVE THIS MAN A DRINK!

He only drinks Pepsi or beers. Just a heads-up.

I think all it needs is a checkpoint. It's really not too hard at all, just tedious. As the max-level endgame activity right now, making it trivially easy is probably the only thing that could make that encounter worse than it already is

 

[Gala]

I'm in deep awe. Thanks Ruthless and Wheel for killing Skolas with me. You are the best.
