What makes a Guardian… a Guardian? We take our first breath with no memory of who we were before – yet we are inexorably drawn to the Light. We fight, we die… and we live again. We know that we were chosen for a reason by something greater than ourselves. For as deep and wide as humanity’s rivers have run, it has now been reduced to a precious few, needing something to believe in… and a place to call home. This is what we have been called to – the future that we fight for. The future we will protect.
Shaped by the fires of each new battle, we are forged and sharpened into what we must become for the fight ahead.
What we have built is only the beginning – a symbol of what we can achieve, of who we are and our great purpose here. But the day may come when we will be tested. When all we hold dear is threatened. And then, we will see what each of us is truly made of.
Destiny 2: Penny Arcade G&T Saves the Universe and Everything in It, No, Seriously, I Know It Looks like We’re Losing but Everything Is Under Control, We Promise is an online multiplayer action role-playing sci-fi-fantasy first-person shooter for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC and the second title in Bungie and Activision’s ten-year, zillion-dollar Destiny franchise. It’s MMO-like – think gear collection (and dress-up), skill trees and specs, party play, raiding, and PvP – with rock-solid gunplay and wondrous, gorgeous worlds to explore. Beyond all of that, it’s also home to the best damn community in gaming: Pax Arcadia, our systems-spanning network of clans.
A Little History: Our Story So Far
In Year One of Destiny, the Wise and Noble Guardians of PA traveled through space and time in defense of Human, Awoken, and Exo, rising to meet every challenge and ultimately emerging from a year's worth of adventures bearing the spoils of war and the bounty of exotic weapons, sturdy and stylish armor, fortune, and fame. Through our bravery and dedication, we defended The Tower from all who would see it leveled to the ground. Our legend reached the farthest battlefields of the Crucible. We earned the favor of the Queen and protected her Reef from enemies seeking to tear it apart.
At times, our successes seemed inevitable, almost routine. We traveled backward and forward through time; we crushed our foes underfoot in encounter after encounter; we destroyed the heart of a god - more than once. We plumbed the depths of the Dark Below, face-to-hideous-face with Crota, Hive Prince and Son of Oryx. In time, he fell like the rest. We took his wretched, cursed husk and held it aloft as a trophy.
In Year Two, we braved the Dreadnaught, a terrifying frontier, and we beat back the Taken, a twisted menace. We competed against our fellow Guardians in brutal bloodsport, sharpening ourselves into efficient, highly coordinated soldiers of the Light. We returned to the Prison of Elders and tore through its denizens, leaving our mark on its every arena. We remained relentless, undeterred, in the face of overwhelming odds, and together we struck down Oryx, the Taken King. He refused to tolerate our insolence; we refused to tolerate his existence.
In Year Three, Fallen mutants, scavenging the tombs of the Golden Age, unleashed a plague of unimaginable corruption on our world. Grotesque new foes bore down upon the walls of the Last City, challenging us to adapt or perish. Lord Saladin called us to take up the mantle of the Iron Lords, and we obliged. We honored their legacy by rediscovering their history and celebrating a noble, long-buried tradition.
Now, as we enter a new era, our greatest-ever threat emerges from the Darkness to meet us: Dominus Ghaul, leader of the Cabal’s Red Legion. Ghaul believes that the Traveler erred in bestowing the Light upon us; as we begin our journey in Destiny 2, he and his forces will assail the Tower, corrupt the Traveler, and scatter us to the wilds, beyond the relative safety of our city’s walls. For the first time ever, we will enter a world without Light.
But we will enter it together, Guardians. And it will not be dark for long.

Shot some things, had the ever intrusive triumph banner obscure half my screen, then got hit with the Anteater + Weasel 1-hit Combo.
Sigh.
More waiting, it looks like.

yeah i bounced of that boss. think i'm ready to head back in for another go but damn it really kills to momentum to have to step away from the campaign to gear up.
check in the 'Legacy' section, press down then at Triumphs, seems there's a legacy and current version of the seal.
But the removal of generic heavy weapon and special ammo finders sucks baaaaallllllllssss. What a terrible decision. It'd feel less shitty if the game wasn't so stingy with it.
And be very careful. There's at least one triumph for having a bunch of exotics that gives you one. If you already have one in inventory or the vault, it just vanishes because fuck you.
i haven't been able to pop that Triumph because i have a cipher in my inventory.
Same. Though I just spent my other one from the memorial mission on heir apparent, I was hoping I could use that triumph as storage.
yeah think the first thing i'll pick up is Jotun, so that the next time someone says "just use Jotun" i can post i video of me scrapping it.
Fuck Jotun forever.
I took a few weeks off, between work and that general distraction that was the election, so it feels good to log in again.
Tooling around the Cosmodrome made me so happy. It's also gorgeous.

3 expansions, each is entirely separate. They each have their own story campaign, exotic gear, and side quests, plus a raid. The exotic weapons and armor and the raids, are relevant, but i think the campaigns are cool too. Also, buying Forsaken or Shadowkeep unlicks the third ability tree for each subclass, giving you new supers and abilities.
Forsaken is expensive because its big, with one of the best Destiny campaigns and one of the best raids, though they really should drop the price now that a bunch of content from it got vaulted.
Shadowkeep is not worth $40.
Jury is still out on Beyond Light, but since it comes with a 4th subclass for each class signs point to "buy this." You actually just missed a big sale on Steam, Forsaken was $15 and Shadowkeep was $17.50.
Any big story beats in the campaign?

Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
Yeah.
Beeg spoilers inside
It's got some good Fallen/Vex lore, the Stranger finally has time to explain, and Zavala seems cool with it as long as we don't stay out past 10
My pet theory is the "bad" timeline is actually the original scrapped story for D1, since a lot of stuff from that scrapped script has since made its way back into the game.
