Is there anyway way I could get a Discord invite?
And I joined the Xbox DestinyEra clan, if you guys don't mind.

Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris |OT| Guaranteed Lighthouse Run, $19.99
- Thread starter JohnOfMars
- Start date
OK, question time.
I stopped playing this right around the time the first expansion came out. Never bought it. I was getting bored with having to do nothing but run the raid over and over for POSSIBLE upgrades to my loot.
Has this changed? Can you get good stuff from Strikes or quests? Any info on the Trials stuff? I kind of just want to know if there's a good resource of info on what's changed and what to expect if I decided to buy the expansion and dive back in as they prepare for new stuff.

Besides the new campaign the dlc added a new raid lair(smaller 6 person raid that takes less time) and a variety of weapon forge quests where you grind out strikes, PEs, and crucible for mats. They also added in an exclusive drop for each NF to grind for.
The new dlc is adding a horde mode event which has rotating weekly drops for each boss and they are adding ranks to competitive crucible with a gun stuck on one of the higher tiers if pvp is your thing.
Jumping in now is a good idea because clearing the new campaign and getting up to the new light cap will keep you very busy until the new dlc drops.
Not better gear, just similar gear that looks different. Hopefully that changes in September.
Ultimately I don't think it really matters how easy or difficult the loot is to acquire when it's boring.
In a great player's hands the new perk on it will make them a monster. If you reload after a kill, it allows the gun to shoot at the maximum fire rate for Pulse rifles, without losing damage.
So it just makes it a legendary that can compete with exotics in the time to kill department
It wont be unbeatable. Lots of guns will be ridiculous in the expansion
A Legendary that performs as well as a good Exotic free's up another slot for an Exotic.
As for lots of guns being rediculous... that's a wait and see situation. I don't think folks should be "raging" over it but I also don't think there's anything worth raging over in general in D2. People having concerns is perfectly natural though.
Having guns that are too powerful is definitely an upgrade from the past 8 months where everything was nerfed to fucking hell and back. How about giving us back the ability to have more than one rocket in the tube and the ability to track an enemy with it.
This might be the most relevant post that speaks to me. I hate Destiny 2 in almost every way compared to 1. It breaks my heart.
If anyone who has any influence at Bungie visits this website
Console FOV is the absolute worst , it effects my enjoyment completely. It make my eyes strain, and I feel discombobulated.
You'll never see an improvement concerning FOV even if there was some performance headroom with the Pro and X due to the idea of competitive balance in PvP. It's just not going to happen.
I've played at super ultra-wide resolutions (3840x1440, etc) with max FOV on PC and it's just absurd in how much faster the game feels combined with 60+ FPS. Seeing your character in the Tower with these settings in third-person is a strange experience as well (so small in the middle with such a wide view). It's simply a sublime experience visually and gameplay wise.

So with warmind release almost upon us and info coming out, does anyone have good ideas for the new OT subtitle?
Look. If I don't get Redrix's Claymore within the first week, I'm going to be pissed. I paid for this game and I should be able to earn every weapon and armor piece without having to play PvP. I'm going to be looking into getting a refund if this is the case.
Also, I don't know why things are so easy to get in this game. I wish some items were harder to get and really expanded the grind in the game. I don't want to be given everything so easily; make me struggle for it. If they continue to give out gear like candy, then I won't be playing for much longer. I might even begin looking for a refund. I paid money for this game and I expect to get my money out of it.

I just want D1 levels of FOV, its jarring how pulled in it is in D2, I really lose my sense of direction it heated moments.
Why can Bf1 have a fully customizable FOV?

Us oldies know that shit, lol.

Oh, in other news, I have a new clan spot to open up if anyone needs to drop off their old dead clan and join a good one finally.
Just remember, once S3 starts, your ass is mine for 6 weeks until we max clan XP.
That is all; ping me here or on Discord to get an invite.
There's a marked distinction between hard to obtain loot and loot that's built on bad design. The Pulse Rifle isn't hard to obtain at all.
Throughout Destiny 1 and 2 almost every milestone or bounty that required victories has been reworked. That style of design promoted bad gameplay. Trials of Osiris is a special case. That requires both teams to be pre-formed. Dumping the victory requirement into matchmaking (again) is questionable. Hopefully they are really aggressive with tweaking the matchmaking formula because the glacial balance pacing for everything else means monotonous pub-stomping will be the best way to go well into year 3.
Regrettably it's the same design as the current Nightfall reward system. Grinding fast runs on normal or minimal prestige makes more sense than actually engaging with challenging -45 content. Again not hard just effortless time consuming content.

How would you feel if they added loot that was locked out of the pool unless you were doing prestige with a high modifier?
My initial take on the new NF system was very positive but I am starting to lean towards your pov where the whole thing has been devalued and relegated to a speed run until you get a drop. They really need to add back the modifiers they took away and give some incentive for actually engaging with them.
Throw these together and it still works (either order)
Yeah I was thinking Vigilance Wing is only going to get better with Full Auto and Graviton is looking pretty crazy.
Loving some of these OT subtitles. :)
I actually feel like I liked the system better when emblem drops were the only reward, once they released the weapons it feels like the community no longer recognizes much connection between higher scores and the drop percent chance (with the emblems it did feel much stronger), which means people want to speedrun normal NF rather than do prestige.
I don't think it would go up till a day before release per the guidelines? Just figured it might be a good idea to gather some titles while the stream etc is still fresh in everyone's mind :)

Locking shit into the Competitive playlist is bad for me. I will never earn that because Competitive is the internet equivalent of a colostomy bag.

^I bought the Deluxe (or whatever) Editions for both Xbox and PC, what do I get?
On a serious note, I'm not that disappointed with the game to think I should get a major expansion for free.
Edit: Don't mind me I read that wrong, still I don't expect any kind of content for free as good will of any sort.
