Difference between a 310 player & 290 player is pretty negligible. Which is good for me, because I'm sitting at 295. It's nice to know that I won't hinder the performance of my team.

You're right.

They really do. For practically no reason whatsoever. It's stupid but usually just makes me laugh. Can't take it seriously and don't recommend it, although I will gladly revenge bag pre-emptive baggers who think they've won a match before it's over.
Had a Skirmish match this morning where a full fire team of Strikers were using MIDA and flying around the map, shoulder charging and shot gunning the hell out of us. They got a huge lead and naturally started bagging on every kill. That made our comeback win (5k to 4.9k) so sweet, lol.
Ghaelon will come scold us if we get too far off topic here but DS2 really came together with the DLCs imo. I found a lot of vanilla levels very underwhelming (some great stuff too of course) but the DLCs were much closer to what I look for in a Souls game. Of course DS2 is still in fourth place behind the GoAT DS1, BB and DeS.

Man Sunbreaker with forgemaster, fleetseeker and then immolation fists pyre is just unfair... and this is coming from a titan player 
Exactly!
Time will tell. I just hope they add better feature COOP or something in those games, I know at least 1 who love these games but they can be a bit samey alone over long periods, and the already existing COOP is super weak at best.

I liked the adition of Artorias DLC to be in the middle of the main campaign and somehow altering the vanilla game in some cutscenes and history. (I know you were the culprit Kaathe).
Yep, The Light mechanic is the one who gives you most of your defense and damage in PVE thats why the fatebringer was still the best handcannon in TTK still. Bungie still trying to figure out how translate it to PVP before they realize they have to develop specific PVP gear and weapons with "PVP defense or more damage to Guardians" outside the Light mechanic without altering the PVE which in previous patches result into hilarious nerfs to weapon in both PVE in PVP enviroments.
Depenging only by Light level instead of proper item gear or full armor bonuses could be a little complicated for people who dont raid or dont have time to play it
First IB all over again confirmed?
I beat Manus a few times without knowing what a silver amulet was or that it was even in the game, lol.
They sound like WYL minions there.

Dark souls 2 SoTFS is fucking great.
Bloodborne has the better level design, atmosphere and mechanics, but DS2 has the content, the builds, the multiplayer, the fashion souls, the new game +. And the PS4 version hardly has load times and runs at a high framerate.
Bloodborne has the most lazy NG+ of any Souls type game. The game also cockblocks you from maxing more than one weapon per playthrough unless you go Chalice which frankly is a shitty addition.
For a single run, BB is better. But I feel DS2 is underrated. Yes, its not as good as Demon's, DS1 and BB. But its still better than 80% of the games I bought on PS4. It will set you back for weeks, and its just crazy well made compared to so many other games out in the wild. But I guess the criticisms show how absurdly good this franchise actually is.

Bungie hates giving us detailed statics and numbers - they think too low of us
That's not true. They are just secretive by nature, going back to their founding. But even then, every number they put out there they have to justify, then they have to justify again if they change it. "Secret Math" gives them maximum flexibility with minimum community fuss.

I know they do. And it suuucks. I want the actual numbers of changes, drop rates, etc.
One example from the 2.0 patch notes that annoys me:
Auto Rifles
Base Damage increased across all archetypes.
Ok Bungie but by how much exactly? Why not just tell us? I dont understand

Haha. Quick. Someone post that isnothing.gif along with the IB damange graph!
Also, Puma, you called it. Man, trials with the old crew, gonna be so good. I've been doing some good Titan shotgun skating lately.

Well, people can just test that stuff though. I hate when they are vague about things that are impossible to test, like the length of time between 3oC uses so you aren't getting burned.

I'm not sure why people are saying that a 3-4% difference is negligible. For IB it may not be much but at the higher levels of skill in a ToO, that can easily be the deciding factor in a gun fight. Losing one fight the difference between a W or L in the match, and the difference between Lighthouse visit or not.
Wait.
I've beat Manus plenty of times without any knowledge of the silver amulet. I didn't know what that was until just this second.
Damn I'm good.
Version 1.17, wut?
They were more lax with their numbers back in the Halo days (even the stat page was betters). I've been begging for a massive stats dump on Destiny, but alas we get nothing. Would be nothing better than to see how we played the last year.

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. Aren't we up to 2.01 now or something?
Note sure if the name correspond with ingame, as last was 2.0.0.5
Perhaps its 2.0.1.17?

Yeah what's the holdup here
This is precisely how I control my spending. Spending $20 on something doesn't sound like much until you realize that's 4 beers at the craft beer bar.

The same reason they got rid of Reforging.
Once people KNOW the facts behind the numbers, there will be no focus on building for playstyles and everyone will flock to the numerically best build. Bungie actively wants to discourage that kind of homogenization.
Game version is different from server version. Server will be 2.0.1, game is 1.17.
