Destiny

[Continental Op 3934]

Early returns from hopping back in:

1. I hate the fact that a ton of shadowkeep "missions" are an NPC telling you to go do bounties and public events and find helium filaments.  

2.  Looks like there is a ton of shit to do after finishing the campaign but I have no clue where to start.

[Dutchrudder 11133]

Destiny 1 or 2? I haven't played either in forever...

D2

The Grind is real on the solstice armor pieces. I was able to get from 750 to 1000 pretty easily but now it is such a slog. 

[jofus 2266]

60 & 120hz with the series x update is amazing.

Was playing Destiny 2 the other day and spotted a guardian in the tower with the gamer tag: FAT_ASH_KETCHUM

Guardian left the tower before I thought to grab a screenshot.

Anyone going to check out Witch Queen in two weeks?

I haven't really played in over two years. I picked up Beyond Light for $20 the other day to check out the campaign and new subclasses. Haven't actually unlocked Stasis yet, just knocked out a handful of missions on my Titan.

I re-read my rant from a couple pages (and years) back. Looks like Bungie is continuing to lean into MMO element. They're adding a weapon crafting system. As well as a leveling system for crafted weapons.

Last Thursday Bungie dropped a 6,000 word TWAB with details about new stuff, changes to old stuff, etc: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/50995

 

 

 

[bernorange 8359]

Yeah, I'm in for Witch Queen.

[Fudbelty 2787]

I couldn’t tell you how many hours I put in on OG Destiny. I’m really curious if I’d enjoy playing again. Is there still a decent Surly group for playing? No clue what the status of the game is now.

[jofus 2266]

Had a ton of fun with our surly crew, but it’s not as fun without a consistent group to play with.

Spent an embarrassing amount of time on 1 & OG2

[CurlyDumps 4466]

Doubt there are any active crews, but with crossplay all us grizzled old fucks can roll together. I'm on PC now.

Those were actually really fun sessions. My wife would get pissed because I’d wake her up laughing or talking too loud at 3am.

I remember carrying you guys.  My back still hurts to this day…

IIRC, you were really good at this part.

[Radical Larry 28539]

Our success was due to Creed music videos.

[hornfan785 555]

Those were good times. Still proud of our clutch completion of the Siege Engine.

My wife and I still consistently play D2. We’re on PC and play with our original group from D1. Looking forward to witch queen.

[Dutchrudder 11133]

D1 was some good times, lots of fun teamwork, puzzles and raids. I just couldn't get into D2 and start over from scratch. Plus I moved on to PC primarily. MS will probably push for a D3 cross platform game in 2024/25, and I'll be up to dive in on PC at that time.

[bernorange 8359]

D2 is cross platform right now.  PC, xbox and PS4/5 can all play together.

[jofus 2266]

That is pretty great praise. Tempted to jump back in. 1/2 the fun is playing with a group though

[TXSG8R 3362]

It’s pretty damn good. Bosses are brutal on legendary though. 

[Radical Larry 28539]

I haven’t played in a few years. May have to check this out soon.

[Waterboarder 343]

Got through legendary after several days. Really enjoyed the main story, and I’m curious to see where it goes from here.  It seems they may be running with some of the early theories about the traveler not being as benevolent as assumed. 

[Dutchrudder 11133]

I started playing D2 on PC a week ago, pretty fun game. I need to get the DLCs with it though, tons of content is locked behind them.  Anyone still play?  The Shaggy clan is pretty inactive from what I saw.

[Radical Larry 28539]

I played through the latest expansion and enjoyed it. Didn’t see a single person from the Shaggy clan.

[bernorange 8359]

I'm playing.  Duality is a pretty cool dungeon.

[Dutchrudder 11133]

Dutchrudder2007#3237  on D2 if anyone wants to play sometime.  I'm on most nights for a couple hours. 

[Dutchrudder 11133]

Lightfall expansion and the beginning of Year 6 of D2 is today. Huge update that will reset light levels, soft and hard caps, completely reworking a ton of the classes and exotics, plus adding a new subclass that looks awesome. Should be fun if anyone else is still playing!

Anyone down for VOG or Crota?

[jofus 2266]

Only if everyone has gjallarhorn

[Radical Larry 28539]

Someone will have to stream some Creed while we’re raiding.

Both have been re-made into Destiny 2 and are available for raids

[bernorange 8359]

D2 revamped Crota raid dropped recently and the added Chalice mechanic to all encounters means everyone has pull their weight.  No "add clear" specialists for this one.

That said, it seems like D2 is nearing end of life.  Bungie is too busy working on new IP.

[Fudbelty 2787]

I’m more of a VOG guy myself.

[hornfan785 555]

Man, I miss those D1 raids and Iron Banner matches with y'all. Good times.

[pearlandhorn 3269]

I still play frequently with the wife and a group I've played with since D1.

[Fudbelty 2787]

I don’t remember who all we had but the late nights were fun.

[Dr.J 31]

Hey strangers. Came to gloat about the ags and drifted over here. Damn I miss playing D1 raids with yall.

[bernorange 8359]

Lulz... Game breaking crafting bug is getting exploited right now.  You can craft an Ammit auto rifle with an aggressive shotgun frame and it does stupid damage to everything.  Trials, Comp and regular crucible are all "momentum" right now with glitched Ammits one shotting everybody from across the map.  Bungie says they will fix things shortly, but it's thunderdome at the moment.

[jofus 2266]

Yeah, d1 and og d2 late nights are some of my favorite gaming memories.

[Radical Larry 28539]

Yeah those were good times. Fucking jumping puzzles.

Alright, who leaked our secret to the Texas Rangers?

 

[jofus 2266]

Anyone planning to get the final shape?

Sony just allowed a massive leak of the entire expansion, so be careful of that if you care.
