Destiny: The Taken King. Like The Lion King, but with less regicide.

    Oh, right those are helpful. If you're short on marks, you can get 15 per day from the first public event you do on each character.

    I bought a MG from the vanguard quarter master just now actually. I'm mostly just bummed that drop rates on large upgrades seems so much lower this whole expansion. I keep popping open engrams and getting motes or low level artifacts and when I do get an upgrade it is one of two LL higher.

    Also 15 legendary marks a day might help. I really only play my titan so I can't do much in the way of all three characters.

    You can get 100 legendary marks per week just from playing the heroic story missions, which are going to be a struggle at your light level but if you can play with someone else who can carry you through that'd help.

    Also I know you said that you don't like the Archon's forge but if you can get a group going in there it's a really good way to farm engrams and gear.

    I'm kinda happy with no carry over. I want a fresh start.

    People who played the fuck out of Destiny shouldn't get some sort of advantage in Destiny 2 other than familiarity.

    And I say this as someone who played the fuck out of Destiny 1.

    My big hope was that not being tied to Destiny 1 stuff would allow them to go a little wilder with their changes

    That hasn't seemed to bear out, unfortunately

    Yeah if this is how the game looks now, there's absolutely no reason my character should have forgotten how to do the Thriller

    If you aren't connected to the light you can't do the Thriller, you aren't worthy.

    Control is very different with four players instead of six

    I'm so awful with hand cannons now, fuck

    The Last Word and Hawkmoon and a weird purple one with Hawkmoon's luck in the chamber but with five shots were my go to guns back in the day

    It feels good to be back

    I got a PS4 a couple days ago with a few games, then found Destiny 1 for $10 at Half Price Books so figured why not.

    This game plays pretty well you guys. I don't mean to be dropping hot takes left and right but I think it's kinda fun.

    I hate that there's no "always off" helmet option though. Fuck verisimilitude I don't care i'm on the moon or that i'm mostly in first person.


    E: Also when I was wandering around whatever the base is called I heard Shooreh Aghdashloo off in the distance and hunted around until I located the character. That alone gives it a big :+1:

    I like how pvp in destiny 2 isn't going to be dominated by snipers and shotguns

    I mean, I really liked running around with shotguns but I understand it drove people crazy. The all snipers all the time meta actually made me stop playing destiny though.

    Two primaries + power weapon is a good system

    Severely limiting your power weapon ammo and ability use makes sense in PvP and is really unsatisfying in PvE.

    They've already said there'll be more power ammo in pve in the full game-



    Also there'll be gear and mods to reduce cooldowns for abilities

    I really hope

    the campaign part of the game isn't you getting your light powers back til the final mission

    it would be kind of weird to just be shooter guy for most of the game

    from the official synopsis
    "Scattered and powerless, the Guardians must acquire new powers to face Ghaul and the Red Legion, and venture to new worlds in the Destiny universe."

    There's going to be some other source of power you learn to draw from I'll bet
    this will likely have consequences

    The consequences will be incredible new powers. See the Penny Arcade from Monday.

    You lose your light, but somehow you manage to get it back, I think. Off the top of my head I know I've seen a trailer that had Zavala remarking that since you got your light back, other guardians might be able to as well.

    Uuuuugh. So I guess if I want to see the rest of the story on Earth I have to group up with people. That kinda sucks.

    There is matchmaking but the one time it matched me with one person they showed up after I had already started it and just stood at the entrance doing nothing.

    It's not the next mission in the story, it's a strike later in the game. I think the normal MMO term for what it is would be a dungeon? It's not really main story content, but it is fun, and you don't have to coordinate too much with the other people and odds are they won't have mics.

    Strikes are just as important as missions to the story, especially in Taken King. You'll be grouped with a team, but it's basically just more guns to help you out. No need to talk or use incredible team work. Just revive them if they die and they'll do the same for you.

    Did more missions on the moon because there's no one doing the Earth strike and I can't do it on my own.

    This game plays really, really well. It's kind of a ton of fun. I think I can understand why people were so disappointed with the lack of a story, since the gameplay is brilliant.

    Kind of curious why our undead space sociopaths don't just, you know, drop like a puppet with cut strings when the necromantic space magic animating their husks is pulled from them.

    Presumably once the light restores us to life, all our bits are in the right places and working properly on their own.
