Well there that goes. Gearing up for Destiny 2 production, I guess.

Racing pretty fun, tho. Two tracks is a fucked up low ball. Need more tracks.

Mars track is pretty fun. Came close to 1st a few times. Venus, not so much. That one's the harder of the 2.

New set of microtransactions were added, this time being level boosts.

Quote:
Starting today, players will be able to buy "Class Packs" from Xbox Live and PSN (A North American PSN page is not available as of the time of this writing.) For $30, players will be able to instantly boost one character to level 25, max out one subclass, and speed up weapon leveling with a set of telemetries.

Payment for the level boost is bullshit. I guess the Kinderguardians don't wanna play through the story and level up that way.



Still got my freebie from launch. Just, haven't gotten around to putting it on my titan yet.

The kicker is the subclass boosts which I'm half and half about. It reminds me of the class shortcuts Battlefield had. You unlock a class' gun set but you still have to unlock the mods thru play.

On one hand somebody wanting a shortcut to their subclass actions doesn't do anything against me really. On the other hand I sometimes think what is the worth of a game if you're offering or buying your way to certain goals. I like to think the experience was kinda the point.

I'm a fan of content unlock keys for a game's sandbox items; like WWE or Naruto games. I want toys for more multiplayer options and I don't have the patience to play Naruto's story or WWE Wrestlemania whatever. I don't mind since the value of the game is the multiplayer and I wanna enhance that asap.

I guess it comes down to what you value about a game. Maybe. But one thing's for sure; Bungie is edging ever so close to something that will interfere with Legendary Marks and Legendary/Exotic drops - which is when things will go p2w and things may go to shit.

But if I may play Akuma's advocate - how about we look at Xur. Setting aside that Marks are earned thru play, he offers you exotics you would otherwise need to do quests for. Honestly I mostly wait for him to sell something I want. There's some self impressed kids in the official forums that actually look down on people who Xur their way to exotics and skip quests. I find this analogous to the p2w model. Looking at that comparison... I don't care if somebody buys or quests for an exotic. End of the day, nobody hows how you got what. So I'm contemplating a scenario where Bungie does offer purple and yellow engrams or at least 3oCs for real money (the most likely if CoD's any hint).

Would that destroy whatever economy is in effect? Would that interfere with my experience? Years ago I'd rally against any such thing but nowadays I just don't have the moxie to care how somebody actually gets their shit. All the money in the world won't make them any better at playing the game. You can't 'pay' to beat me.

I dunno... I think I'm shifting on the matter.

It's for social pressure. Come on bro, play with us, just buy the thing to get up to 25, it'll be fine.

Destiny has proven to be a pain in the arse to actually play with the people I would play with. Loot games need to get over their preciousness. Diablo 3 just fudges the numbers so that people can just get on with playing with someone else regardless. Destiny runs it too rigid like an MMO, which doesn't work for me. I can't cyber in Destiny so it's the work of an MMO without the perks.

Destiny has turned many an e-friend sour. Seriously, I stopped playing with a good amount of people on XB1 because either A) they were Destiny elitist (aka dicks who talked down to you during raid instead of helping you understand the goal) or B) "friends" would start favoring whoever is playing over playing with actual friends.

Cant tell you how often some of my close buddies IRL would talk shit about a guy they played with on Destiny, but when I set up a time I could be on to raid with the crew, surprise surprise, my spot was taken by that same guy so long as they could get their loot.

I haven't even done a raid yet.

Afraid of joining one through an LFG site and then getting called an R-tard cause I don't know what to do.

Yeah. I fall into category B here. Had a group of guys I used to play with. The majority stopped played. 2 guys took a break but will probably be back on. But I got one guy who pretty much defected to another guy's clan and didn't even bother to ask me to come along.

SRL is fun. Keep leveling up and you get some 300 helmets to bring you over Light 300 threshold. Then you can (hopefully) start getting the 300 engrams to drop.


Only have done the Oryx fight on King's Fall. This was when everybody was getting their feet wet and the average completion time was about 2 hours. Now, you can probably blast through it in under an hour if you're lucky.

Best bet is to jump onto the Destiny Reddit and find yourself a Sherpa. I hear they're a good bunch of guys.

The fuck don't they just put in matchmaking? People already doing raids with randoms through all these sites. Why not cut out the middleman, and just add it.

Because the raids are long drawn out affairs and you need the guilt of obligation to your party to get through it?

When you get the 5 guys who have never done the raid, and you're the one guy who has multiple times, you better have some time set aside and play teacher.

What I would like to see is some sort of a lobby system set up in the tower. It's as close to matchmaking as you're gonna get, but you get to set up/create rooms with tee times and a list of activites and you can pick and choose.

SOCOM had it right.

Bungie crafted an incentive for Destiny players to log on after a long winter break, and it's as easy as logging in and completing one activity (a PVP skirmish, for example). As of today you can pick up rewards, which includes 15 Strange Coins and 15 Motes of Light. The former can be used to buy Exotic items from the peddler Xur, and the latter levels up your weapons and armor.

If you complete that event before the end of January 10, you'll net a special Emblem, to be delivered around the 12th.

How about increasing the drop rate on the strike specific gear, Bungie. Been trying to get my hands on a flayer cloak for a while now. No luck.

I really don't need more motes or strange coins.

Bungie currently denying rumors of future updates for Destiny will be adding non-cosmetic premium ammo packs to the game's micro-transaction system.

http://www.destructoid.com/rumor-bun...y-336546.phtml


According to a report from Kotaku, Destiny 2 is currently rumored to have been delayed from its planned late 2016 release date.
Quote:
“Just last week higher-ups at Bungie delayed ‘Destiny 2‘ out of this September, according to people familiar with goings-on at the studio,” read the report. “From what I hear, as of [Thursday, January 21st,] not everyone at Bungie even knew about the Destiny 2 delay.”

Game's online match-making system is getting overhauled starting tomorrow.

Quote:
According to a post from Bungie, "more emphasis" will be placed on connection quality, which will in turn reduce the amount of lag you typically experience in PVP. Apparently there will be "some consideration" in terms of matching you with other players, as connection speed takes precedent.

The change will happen tomorrow at 10AM PT, and before that, Iron Banner (set to go live today at 10AM PT), will function with the old system. So if you want the new hotness, play tomorrow.

Bungie admitted they made a mistake with the recent special event in regards to drop rates being too low so as an apology they are giving away free Ghost shells to players.

Quote:
People, of course, will do anything to game a system, but the Destiny community generally agrees the drop rate for this special event is too low, as does the development staff at Bungie.

"We took a look at the data, and the number of Ghosts awarded has not been what we expected," wrote community manager David Dague via studio's official website on Friday.

To remedy this, Bungie plans to give away Ghost shells to players who have completed more than seven Crimson Doubles matches, so long as those matches aren't of the suicide pact variety.

Once you've done that, a shell should appear in the Postmaster's box sometime before February 23. For an opportunity to earn one, you'll need to participate before February 16's weekly reset.

Yeah, not happening.

They need to get rid of his RNG business. Nothing but a complete nightmare for players wanting to get to 320 and want to put the game down.

Yeah the RNG has to be less random and more investment based.

Lol

How about Year 2 started great with TTK and fizzled out with no significant expansions like TDB or HoW all damn year. The holiday event thing is cute but Year 1's expansion every three months was clearly superior. The microtransaction supported event thing didn't pan out. And things are really dying now that D2 is being developed.

They should put those last two planned expansions together as their last big chapter (likely their big Fall update) and release it earlier. Bring back and expand sparrow racing. And update ALL of their strikes to the highest light level.

Quote:
Bungie will be applying anti-lag measures across all Crucible playlists in Destiny from next week.

Initially the settings were trialed in Iron Banner and Control, but from March 8, 2016, you’ll find it rolling across all other modes, too.

“For the past several weeks, our matchmaking team has been dedicated to striking a better balance between “worthy” opponents and the sort of opponents with Internet connections that go well with yours. It’s not an exact science, but they’ve been experimenting nonetheless,” writes community manager DeeJ on this week’s Bungie.net update.

“Our goal for matchmaking continues to be fostering a competitive ecosystem that works for everyone,” adds senior designer Derek Carroll. “First and foremost, that means we attempt to find matches with the lowest latency (read: lag) possible. As a secondary concern, we want to insulate players at each extreme of the skill curve from each other. That said, we do not prioritize skill over latency under any circumstances.

“The newest settings are more aggressive about keeping latency low than we’ve ever had in Destiny. Regardless of the playlist you prefer, you should be seeing high-quality matches.”

Damage Referee will also be applied “across the board” to assist the developer to “mitigate the effects that low-quality connections have on combat.”

Pre-ordered. Gonna get back into this.

I hope Bungie paid attention to The Division's matchmaking system and will incorporate something similar to Rise of Iron.

Jumped back into this with drave yesterday. Got my shit pushed in doing a heroic strike at only 239 light level. I'm at 259 now tho.

Also some guy joined the party and talked about blowjobs for 20 minutes and then left. Very strange.

Anyway any tpww people that want to join up with us would be great because I'd really like to do the raids. I'm usually on between 11pm and 3am MST

That must've been one of my nephew's friends. Still unsure why I cannot hear them.

Plan on doing this some more tonight and playing with my Hunter this time. Haven't touched that character in a very long time. We should start going through the Prison of Elders. It is the good kind of chaotic and you get some really decent gear.
