Destiny 2: Forsaken |OT2| How's your sister?
- Thread starter Stalker

I took such a large break between D1 and D2 that none of that stuff bothers me because I honestly don't remember things like character jumping sounds or menu poses. In fact, going from console Destiny 1 to PC Destiny 2 felt like a huge jump in quality just due to the more capable hardware. It still shocks me everytime I see a Youtube video of someone opening their inventory screen on the console and there's a little bit of load time before the character model and gear pops into place so overall being a PC Destiny player has been a much nicer experience than being a console Destiny player in my opinion.
But I understand that everyone has preferences and different tastes and what bothers me may not even get noticed by someone else.
I'm sure 60+ frames and 105 FOV makes the game feel pretty great, but comparing D1/D2 console to D2 PC is apples to oranges and not really fair.
Titan skating on PC is pure cancer especially in comp. It's ridiculous when a enemy titan reach the chokepoint/position/objective faster than anybody else or fly across maps doing drive by shotgunning. i'm glad PC players can now sigh a relief that early march update will nerf titan skating and OEM especially OEM.
Yeah I discovered that last night too. Nice synergy of that effect when using LM & Oathkeeper. Draw, aim, slowly walk into field, and it plinks blood cleaver with a void explosion and DoT.
You know I'm talking about D1 console skating and not D2 PC macro skating, right?
It really wouldn't though. Most of the population playing grinded that content for 3 years. Now, if they used the environments but redid all AI and made new missions, etc. then absolutely. But simply porting d1 back into d2 the way it was wouldn't accomplish much except for the super small percentage of people that didn't play d1.
I'd recommend not getting onto a Destiny-focused website or thread until you go see it. :)
There's the lore drop, but yeah that's it.
I'm not sure how it isn't. You were pointing out the things that you saw as downgrades whereas I don't remember most of those things and feel like I got a giant upgrade just because of the platform change. I'm not belittling your opinion but I am pointing out that perspective matters a lot and to me much of what you are mentioning seems nitpicky in the face of all the good changes, especially as a PC player.
But I will agree that I hope D3 is an improvement over D2 and fixes a lot of these little gripes.
My complaints weren't about frames or FOV. I was asked a question about D1 to D2 and I answered it. All of my opinions are based on the console versions of each.
Actually, I think I'm behind one the lore. What instalment are they up to? I'm only at part 6.
That would be awesome, will check when I play tonight.
I'm assuming that any loot from Frosaken will not be available in collections and would need to stay in my vault if I hope top upgrade it down the line?
Pretty much. If it's a weapon form Forsaken on (the icon in the corner can tell you) and it's a roll you like, hold onto it for upgrading via infusion.
Me too! Time to do a Powerful Handcannon frame and see what happens.
Wait, these come with lore drops? Have I been missing them this whole time?
Surely, there's some youtube video out there that collects all of the scenes with Mara and her dialogue.
How? All I'm seeing is the completely inevitable "now that Anthem is actually out, we realize it's riddled with flaws and not actually perfect" phase. Which basically all games go through...

The Division 2 IMO isn't even a threat, because The Division series gameplay just isn't good and fundamentally never can be. That's just my opinion. Dont @ me.
But I guess yeah, a lot of heavy hitters are sucking people out of Destiny currently. Apex Legends, Anthem, soon Division 2, even big recent single player games like Metro Exodus and Crackdown 3.
I think Anthem not turning out great means D2 will maintain the core looter shooter audience, but sure, each competitor saps some players for a time at least.
And I guess, the bigger concern is how well Bungie is financially equipped to churn out the content post Activision. That seems unknown. Not sure how well the idea of constant smaller updates (like forges) vs fewer actual full expansions is going for D2 either. It feels a bit like a content drought.
Destiny needs the next major expansion to rebound, people like taking turns with games, Destiny's turn will come back around. Fall?
This post didn't really congeal into a point., I just like discussing video game business a lot!
the issue with the annual pass is that its too end game focused for the casual gamer to just jump back in
with stuff like curse of osiris and warmind, its a signal to return from your break away from destiny and enjoy some new singleplayer content and see if you can be lured into a new end game
season pass so far is just annoying, complete grind from jumpstreet--they'll have to change their approach sooner rather than later

Drops like warmind and curse would only keep the casuals busy for a week at best.
BA was a good lesson for everyone, Bungie included. Keen to see how Joker'sWild turns out but I've always thought you have a better chance of turning a casual into a hardcore player than the other way round
Two questions.
The first: are there any secret triumphs for Iron Banner like Crimson Days had?
The second: does anyone who has no clan or doesn't care about their own feel like joining my clan for two weeks and helping out with the weekly Clan bounties, hopefully on all three characters?
It's going to be tight but I'm hoping to hit rank 6. This was such a slow season.

It's specifically designed to be content played after Forsaken. If the casual player needs to jump back in, they have Forsaken to start with (or finish), and then the season pass afterwards. Forsaken is some of the best content in the series' history and it should be savored. No reason for a player to try to rush it to catch up to where the current endgame is.
I'm super excited to jump back in on the 5th. People being sucked out of Destiny is inevitable - even Bungie has said that getting sucked into whatever other game is going to happen. The key thing is ensuring your players had a great time so that when you do have new things, they will want to check in & come back.
On the hardcore side, I think most players have wrapped up chasing as much stuff as they can, and there are some obvious questions as to where this is all going this year. Will Bungie adhere to their release schedule and drop something in Sept/Oct?
I wish they had a pinnacle weekend PvP mode that got me grinding like Trials used to, but im sure they do too.

I am trying my attempt currently for the LUNA in competitive but do I only have till the end of season 5 to finish the quest or will it carry over with season 6?

Just for curiosity sake anpit that crucible orb-eye boss that opens up a special quest to get a weapon. Did they increase the chances on it showing up? I just logged into Destiny for the first time since like last december and found it on my second encounter.
I know I'm miles behind everyone and even worse since I don't have the Annual Pass but I got pumped up at this lol.

Apparently, he can only spawn on rounds 2 or 3 and even then it's a 1/9 chance.
