Destiny 2 |OT| Guardians Make Their Own Fate

- Start date
Do people actually read non US ign stuff? Maybe besides UK and AUS. Idk this is probably really dumb but ign India? And the dude didn't even play the game? Some of those points may seem fair but 5 reasons why articles are just vomit
Anyways, not long until we can play now.
Anyways, not long until we can play now.
So with the expansion releasing tomorrow I'm wondering how we'll get to 25 (335). Will it just work the same as before or are there new ways to level up? I assume the story will get us to lvl 25 and boost our power beyond 305 and then we go back to milestones to get to 330 and use mods to hit 335? Is there any word on new exotic quests to help boost our lvl?
I just want to get to max lvl quickly. I stopped playing on PC for a couple weeks because of performance so as a result I'm only lvl 303 right now.

I'm pretty excited to explore a new planet if honest. I've watched nothing so I'm going in Dark.
Yeah they were supposed to show off new armor and weapons in a PvP setting
IGN India is the equivalent of a salty teen in his mom's basement.
New planet lol
1 patrol zone, pseudo social space and the endless forest is the whole planet.
Basically, keep your expectations in check.
I don't think they released it at all, cause it was very bad timing with all the negativity.
Started playing the PC version a couple of days ago, I'm right in saying that the shader system is still rubbish right?
I have all these nice shaders, Dawn & Dusk being a personal fav, but I don't want to use them on my gear because I know I'll have to eventually scarp said gear

Pretty much, yep.
I think Bungie tried to justify it by saying that people would be able to go and do specific activities to 'grind' for their favourite shaders but I don't think anyone was convinced.
I kind of see it as a necessary evil that comes as a consequence for being able to put different shaders on specific armour pieces/weapons.
So anything we should do before the expansion comes out in game? Will anything be no longer obtainable for example? Aside from maybe bright dust purchases.
Besides exotic emotes you are all good. All the old raid/trials/ib/fr gear is staying in the pool but you will just be able to grind out ornaments for them to change looks.
How much we betting that the review score from IGN for CoO will be
"7.6.34324 out of 10
REVIEW IN PROGRESS"
"7.6.34324 out of 10
REVIEW IN PROGRESS"
You never have to scrap gear. Keep your favourite legendaries relevant with infusion.
My warlock is wearing a 305 robe I've had since launch day :D
Article is trash but Mercury was scrapped from Destiny 1, that is known.
Doesn't D2 use a new engine though? No doubt loads of concept work was done for Mercury in D1, but I don't think they had a zone all ready to drop into D2.
I mean the general consensus seems to be pretty on par with that ign article from most streamers and journalists so Idk why that ign article is getting attacked. If it was an outlier sure but I'm setting my expectations to be pretty much dark below, if not worse. I haven't read a single preview that's been posotive about it.
If you haven't read up on the development issues and the whole chapter on Destiny in PSF's book, you won't know how much of the game was cut and edited to be used for later. Osiris was originally planned to be a part of Destiny 1.
IGN themselves has 3 articles with actual impressions of the DLC though that isn't as negative as the IGN India article (although yeah, they don't read as massively positive and hype building either). For instance the IGN guy who actually played it liked the new crucible maps.
I really liked The Dark Below although that was more for the changes made to the game systems than for the actual content (Eris was cool though) so if they can match or beat that I'll be satisfied.
The other articles are a nicer way of saying more or less what that article said, sprinkled in with some things they actually liked. I just don't see what the big deal is over it I guess.
IGN India's article makes statements about content no one has seen and presents it as fact multiple times which is why I find it a bit trash.
For instance here is Destin from IGN:
Compared to IGN India which acts as if it knows more:
Notice how he lists all the things we know are in, including the adventures which we haven't seen, and then just trashed them without knowing what they are or what areas are opened up by them?
Edit: anyway no real need to say more on this because we will all find out tomorrow how right IGN India was :)
Is there any more room in a UK / EU based discord + clan? I've been wanting to do the raid for ages but none of my regulars play anymore!
I think they said they're going to reveal it after launch, but I'd guess it'll be open by the end of next week at the latest. Perhaps this coming Friday or next reset.
Didn't play Destiny 1.
Looking at the Destiny wikis, there's mention of "Year 1" and "Year 3" versions of weapons.
What's up with that? Did the Year 1 versions get deleted out of the game at some point, and make a comeback in Year 3?

No, Year 1 guns meant Year 1 power levels. For example, Fatebringer. It was brought back to Year 3 level with Age of Triumph.
Guns weren't "deleted" but they were phased out of loot pools. Guns like Shadow Price which also came back with Age of Triumph.
Year 3 guns also had different perks afaik that you couldn't get on Year 1. For example, the Year 1 Matador 64 which could be re-rolled something nasty, and the Year 3 Matador 64 which was brought back.

I highly doubt either Wardcliff glitches or the raid cheese will ever be patched, especially the latter. Unless they get rid of the reset count down after a wipe, I don't see it going away. Best thing to do is prevent loot drops for those who do it. I'm not a programmer, but I guess they could make it so if the game doesn't detect enemies spawning, it could then stop the reward chest from spawning when the encounter is finished.
Also, if you care about raid completions or completion percentage, do not kill ANY enemies or watchers in the underbelly or start any encounters. I believe you can load in, open regular chests (Ventilator, Aqueduct or Irrigation) and leave without messing up your stats. If you decide to get the others (Conduit, Transfer, Engine, ect), you'll have to beat Calus to not mess up your completions.
Also, apparently Bungie is deleting underbelly keys once CoO is out. So today is your last day to farm exotics, assuming that is true.

As a squishy Hunter, I could not disagree more :)
As a side note, when do we typically learn what buffs/de-buffs are coming? Before release, with patch notes or discovered later on?
So when the Taken King launched it increased the level cap to 40 and the power level to 320 (later 335 w/ the April update). They also introduced the infusion mechanic but it was limited to the new weapons and armour in the Taken King. Everything from vanilla Destiny, Crota's End and House of Wolves was "re-leveled" (for lack of better words) to a max light of 170. It was a soft reset of sorts for all weapons and gear, so tons of stuff was essentially left behind.
With the launch of Age of Triumph almost everything was brought up to 400 LL (a few early vanilla weapons and exotics didn't make the jump though). We also had a bunch of 'new' adept versions of the raid weapons.

Titans have some utilitly above that, but I love (double) pulse grenades. They are a bit broken though - I wonder how many stacks on the dogs you'd need to just be able to throw those two grenades and do nothing else? Not much more than 36 I wouldn't think.
EDIT: Boo, posted after the new OT is up. :'(
Typically? They usually go over some changes in a stream... like the infamous(?) "we dont know how to fix firebolts, sorry" quote lul
But it sounds like we all get to find out when they drop patch notes to comb over.
I'm confused. So the Y1 weapons didn't get the infusion mechanic? That seems strange.
Also, Y1 and Y3 weapons of the same name co-existed? That also seems strange.
Why not just update the Y1 weapons? Was it to gate out players who didn't purchase the expansions?
Thanks, I skipped D1 and hopped in with D2 on PC last month so I am still learning about the way this stuff is handled.
I think it was to stop people from using the same loadout. Year 1 was pretty much Fatebringer, VoC, Gjallahorn, IceBreaker... maybe a couple others
Stuff like infusion and re-rolling was them doing new things but everyone had to complain about it in some fashion so it was dropped or re-worked.
