More key art with helmet less characters. Makes me wonder if our characters are going to be speaking in this one.

They already speak at least in the original missions up to the black garden. And that new gun I have a feeling that it will be the power equivalent of an automatic sidearm with more ammo.
 
It's not the size that counts, it's how you use it!


Wonder if it's an SMG archetype?

What if we could dual wield?

Hopefully we can at least use our right hand to grab ledges/jump over things.

Could never understand why it was only good for throwing grenades and nothing else.
 
Any way to force two player strikes? We went through a strike yesterday, and while fun, was a bit hampered by the level 40 with us just bum rushing the thing even though it was our first time.

Yep that's pretty much what I expected. To be honest, if you're trying to get some kind of story from the strike and stop to smell the roses, then you're in the wrong game. Destiny isn't really about that. But hey, if you want to play it that way I'm not going to stop you. I think there is a way to force a solo strike, but not a duo.

Most randoms will be trying to run the strike as fast as possible. That's because we've already played them so many times we are just looking for the loot at the end. Sorry.

Maybe you can play with some people on GAF?

Game is so dead even Destiny tracker isn't keeping track of it anymore.

I can still do trains here and there if enough people. PVP will always be fun if the usual crap doesn't happen.
 
Heroic Strike Playlist

Heroic - Enemies appear in greater numbers and are more aggressive.
Solar Burn - Solar damage from any source is greatly increased.
Specialist - Special Weapon damage is favored.
Fresh Troops - Some enemy squads have been fortified with additional reinforcements.

Bruh, really?

been running strikes with Genesis Chain, Ex Machina, and a solar The Swarm as a Suntitan. The vex dishwasher boss didn't even make it out of it's startup entrance.

Ex Machina one-shots Hydras O_O
 
Solar Specialist = Ice Breaker / Black Spindle.

Eh, I'd rather go with a Solar Adept Primary for the Exotic slot to maximize my Solar Burn output as you have a ton of other useful options in the Special slot besides Ice Breaker and Black Spindle.

Would have liked Small Arms for a change, this is the 3rd time we had specialist out of the last 4 resets.

I'm starting to believe this isn't a coincidence, at least we got a burn modifier.

I can't be bothered running WOTM for more Nanopheonix attempts this week. Randoms doing Aksis challenge is brutal.

Go to the100 and look for or create a game for WotM and specify you are simply going for the ship instead of doing the Aksis Challenge mode. I'm assuming it can drop from a regular 390 LL version kill, right?

It's not, they choose the modifiers.

NF aint that much better:

Epic - Heavily shielded and highly aggressive enemies appear in great numbers.
Specialist - Special Weapon damage is favored.
Chaff - Player radar is disabled.
Ironclad - More enemies have shields.
Exposure - Guardian shields are increased but do not replenish.
 
Not that it really matters but Bungie also introduced the SMG in another pretty big sequel from their own game library...Halo 2.

But that was just a reskin of the Halo 1 AR and the BR was essentially a retool of the Halo 1 pistol.

I wouldn't be surprised by a short range automatic special weapon if there was a retooling of weapon roles.

An update this week should show all your IB games last week, it is an API limitation.

I just ran a Heroic Strike as a Gunslinger with an Adept Genesis Chain, Solar Eirene RR4 (Outlaw, Quickdraw, Unflinching), and the Solar If Materia and it was super easy and fun. If you have some Solar Adept Primaries I don't see an issue here.

Those two weapons (Halo CE Assault Rifle and Halo 2 SMG) felt different to me and the Halo 2 Battle Rifle was a 3 shot burst weapon compared to the true legendary nature/feel of the Halo CE pistol. Similar weapons indeed but I prefer the CE ones/counterparts.

I'm fine with the burn, I was just requesting they mix up other modifiers up a bit so it feels like some variety.

NF, on the other hand, I'm probably not gonna bother.

Went ahead and placed my pre-order for D2, and looking forward to the first look this week. My hype is contained currently, but come beta time...

I like the PS4 theme it comes with too.
 
So hyped for the reveal. The question is do I sell my 1 and go ps4 pro, or get a scorpio? I'm most likely switching over from Halo 5. I like to get super immersed in one or two games for long periods.

or make the decision after E3, sony has very strong exclusive IPs to announce! God of War, TLOU2, Days Gone, Death Stranding, Detroit: Become Human...

Was on Store looking at Pre-Order, hit description

68GB file save
Goddamn!

This is before Expansions, guessing within 2 years till Destiny 3 this will be 100+GB easily
Move over DOOM file size.

If you have 1TB, this game might take 1/8th of the space 👀

With USB storage easily available for both consoles it's a non-issue.

Only one more day. I'm really looking forward to hearing the heavily influenced reactions from impressionable young youtubers and streamers.

I'm not even planning on watching any youtubers give their impressions. All I need is the main presentation itself.

I'm also switching platforms and going to buy D2 for PS4, but I didn't sell my Xbox.

PS4 will probably have the biggest community on gaf, even though it's also coming to PC.

It's pretty safe to sell a xbone for PS4 at this point, and get a PC or Scorpio later on if you got the funds

I think I'm going to watch My Name is Byf. I like his lore vids. It will be interesting to see what he thinks. Since he is going to be there.

Byf's lore videos and any videos with larger production values are fine, but Byf himself as a person is awful. He is annoying and arrogant, self-indulgent and narcissistic.

Aside the Bungie stream, I'd like to see impressions from some of the calmer streamers out there - Syntax maybe.

Mine was left sitting at 2:01:00 for a month. Imagine how annoying that became.

The only thing that I haven't completed from the Triumph book are the heavy kills in Crucible. I think I'm missing three now. Every other single item in the book - done.

Triplewreck is probably the only streamer I'd be interested in tomorrow. He's always critical of Bungie's PVP balancing and design decisions. With that said, only interested in the presentation itself.

Lord have mercy on the souls of those watching Broman/Gothalion etc. tomorrow.

Mayhem Clash is great for that because of the frequent heavy spawns during the match.

I always like Planet Destiny's videos. Them and JustJason are the only two Destiny related channels I subscribe too and Jason's are just him playing PvP.

Edit: Oh and SirDimetrious is the other one.

I don't mind Gothalion from time to time. He's not going to the reveal, though. He was invited, but there were other more important things he needed to do.

I literally have no idea where the Destiny streamers all came from and I don't watch any of them. Annoying talking, videos that are 70% ad/punch subscribe button/whatupnation , etc.

The only other players I care to follow and listen to the opinion of are the DBO (formerly HBO) folk.

I'll wait for any video Claude grabs for the post-event play.
