    I cant wait for Destiny 2 Trials with no sniper rifles, possibility to interrupt revives and a lot more primary fire in general.

    Good grief, should have refreshed the page before Jay's post.

    Trials is bad but I want the loots, it's the only stuff I don't have!

    Although ElementWrath tonight would be good for PoE also...

    I feel their response to the criticisms of the grimoire to actually remove it wholesale instead of tweak how it's accessed reminded me of how Nintendo took criticisms of Metroid Other M as "Holy shit people hate Metroid!"

    @EriktheVikingGamer I put myself on reserve for now because 10pm working tomorrow might be too late for me. If we are planning to keep it 2-3 hours I might stick around then.

    Private matches also aren't in at launch, but re-adding things you removed is a real easy way to add "free support" to a game over the long term, isn't that right, Halo 5?

    Dreg's Promise is actually really fun

    Despite it being pretty powerful after the buffs, it still feels like a 'haha got you', when you get kills with it

  • Zombie GandhiZombie Gandhi Registered User regular
    Dreg's is way underrated. You can pump out rounds quickly, and the tracking helps alleviate weaker aim. Headshots drop people quickly. The main issue is that since it is a projectile you sometimes wind up trading in engagements you would otherwise win. That said Postmortems feel good in a different way, and trading sometimes is worthwhile when you just spawn with more Dregs and they lose their shotty/fusion.

    With it being a sidearm world I'm pretty excited to take it for a spin today.

    I wish Destiny would/could do dumb end of life MMO stuff, like have a mode where you can equip as many exotics as you want. I think warlock has the strongest pvp all exotic armor set, with the ram/Ophidian aspects/voidfang vestments. I'm not sure about pve, feels like probably Titans, but I'm also sure there are combinations I haven't thought of.

    FINISHED! All classes all specs pvp quests! Which clears all my class pages in the book. I mean I already have the shirt unlocked, but still it was fun to get done. Honestly it seemed harder to get sunsinger multi kills than void bomb. Could be because I had to do it in rift as opposed to control.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Unless you find yourself dying alot I dont think Voidfang is that great, Nothing Manacles however are pretty dangerous if you can aim the Scatter Grenades right, especially on smaller maps.

    I was thinking about voidwalker synergy between the pieces there, and I'm not sure any of the other exotic Warlock robes are that great in this imaginary silly scenario?

    I do love Nothing Manacles on a smaller map, scatter grenades are the devil in tight spaces.

  • PreacherPreacher Registered User regular
    Void fang is nasty because it adds the extra bolt to the grenade. And with felwinter relic you start with a grenade and have the back up charging. Like using that set up I finished my twenty nade kills in 4 maps and was able to swap halfway through number 4.

    Looking at Destiny 2 SKUs on PSN now. Looks like...
    -Base game - $60
    -Base game and expansion - $90 (do we know what this includes yet? Is it just whatever the first expansion pack will be?)
    -Digital Deluxe: base game, expansion, emote, shader, sword - $100

    So if I don't really care about the emote and whatever, but I'm pretty confident that I'm going to pick up the expansion, I guess I should go for the $90 one. Hm. Or I could just get the base game and get the expansion on its own... but Taken King was $40, so maybe you save $10 by preordering it in this way?

    The Expansion Pass is for the first two expansions, which have logos already. Presumably they are more like Dark Below + House of Wolves, which I think were $20 each? So you should still be saving $10.

    Shout out to the dude who offered me $900, then $1500, and finally $2500 for my Bungie account so he could link it to his to get an emblem last night.

    I said no.

    That's a decent chunk of change for a monetarily worthless online account.

    Yeah, I know, I didnt think anyone priced rare emblems and shaders at more than, I dont know? 50 bucks? Personally I wouldnt pay a dime for any emblem though.

    I would however pay 50$ to get my Grasp of Malok back and if I could keep it for Destiny 2, that gun is ingrained into my muscle memory.

    I think if we pooled up we could get a whole lot more than that to roll back the special ammo change. Hell, roll it back for everything except shotguns, at least let me have my fusion rifles back and let sniper weirdos have their fun.

    Yeah, this is not the way to get my money, excepting sniper rifles on the other hand... Trials would be so much more fun without fucking snipers.

    I'm not talking about camping snipers that just pick a point and sit there forever, I'm talking about the ones we see in Trials where some snipers can turn around and dome you instantly while strafing, aim assist shouldnt be a thing on sniper rifles.

    Eh, seems like every single team we meet has 1-3 Ice Breakers, it says something about Snipers in general if even a supposedly bad one is used to this degree.

    A bad sniper rifle with infinite ammo is better than the best sniper rifle with no ammo.

    Yeah, Aim Assist shouldn't a thing on sniper rifles for sure, or it should be toned down.

    I think that Ice Breaker has some more help to it than is documented as well, outside of the infinite ammo piece.

    Most (really) good snipers seems like they are just abusing the generous aim assist something fierce.

    Never understood why Destiny doesnt have any noticeable scope sway when snipers strafe or jump either, I mean every other PvP game has that, for good reasons too.

    Looking forward to try out the hopefully improved PvP experience in the Destiny 2 beta.

    I think on snipers it just sticks longer. Scope sway is def a thing that should be in there.

    But, a lot of Destiny's "smooth shooting" can be attributed to how generous it can be with its AA and hitboxes, which I think actually get slightly larger with the higher AA.

    Icebreaker isn't really even bad, it has good scope and can rezsnipe. They simply broke the ammo economy and made a huge number of guns useless in Trials and most Crucible. The first round in Trials is the only fun one because you spawn with ammo. I'd rather spawn with one full clip and have no boxes than the current set up.

    Aim assist isn't going anywhere. On consoles it's important to make the often imprecise movements of analog sticks feel right. I think they should have the Overwatch options to turn it off or lessen sensitivity of assist. Overwatch really has progressive control options for a console shooter.

    Just pre-ordered Destiny 2 with the expansion pass.

    Looking forward to playing with a connection that's somewhat decent now (though I'm still in the process of getting them to fix that because it's still less than half of what it should be)

    Did for a minor moment look at the Digital Deluxe, but £10 extra for a sword, dance and emblem? Who are they kidding with that deal.

    Scope sway is the devil and should not exist in any game ever. It's the most infuriating and un-fun thing in any game in which it exists.

    Aim-punch (where your aim is affected as you take damage) is fine and a valid counter to sniping. (Edit: Bungie added this to PvE because of PvP concerns, and it sucks there, but whatever)

    I don't PvP much (if it all), so insert the usual disclaimer about "personal opinion" or "grain of salt" here.
