You know the bright engrams thing seemed okay to me. A little slimey to put mods in them and not just cosmetic stuff, but whatever. Not like you can get exotic armor or weapons or anything.
But that shader bullshit is just blatant greed. No reason to change how it was before, other than to force people to buy the bright engrams. |

Xbox One version currently dealing with a bug involving the game's matchmaking system.
Unfortunately if it happens while your playing, there is no quick fix for it and need to wait till Bungie fixes the system. They did say it shouldn't take long for them to fix the matchmaking system though. Quote:

And this is why the game is delayed on the PC.

In regards to the shaders controversy, Bungie isn't budging on changing or tweaking the new shader system.
The game's director downplayed the complaints and even tried to spin this as being good for players since they should be wanting to replay missions and events as many times as possible. Quote:

That reasoning for the shaders is fucking retarded. It's a loot grind game. People are going to replay events regardless of whether shaders are involved.
Secondly, Even well past level 20, you get better shit enough that you can't keep a full set of armor with the same shader for more than 10 minutes. Making shaders consumables wouldn't have been so bad if the shader altered colors for the entire set like the first game. As it is, separating it into each armor part borks it all up. End of the day, I'm glad the one bullshit Destiny 1 type decision they made was for something that's only cosmetic. |

Besides the shader blunder, I'm really enjoying the game.
Campaign was much better than the first. Nothing groundbreaking, but it does a good job getting you more invested in the universe and it's characters. SPOILER: show One reason that I came back to the original so much is the art design. The game is gorgeous to look at. Not just because of the graphics although those have notably improved. There's just so much sci fi scenery porn here. The zones of each planet are more unique, and also offer more verticality. Hell of a lot more to do in this game as well. In addition to strikes, and patrols, there are also Adventures, which serve as side missions to the main story. They're kind of like mini strikes. There's also lost sectors which are semi hidden areas with a loot chest guarded by a bunch of enemies and a boss. Public events were in the first game, but now you can see on your map where they are and how long til they happen, and the rewards are better. Also, challenges in each planet that Ikora rewards you for completing. I actually had to unlock patrols through a post campaign mission, and there's a couple more of these available. So there might be another activity or two that I don't know about yet. Tried 3 of the 5 strikes, and they were a lot of fun. The boss fights seem to have a gimmick to them that adds a bit of depth, so it's not just a bullet sponge fight. If you skipped the first one, or got bored with it quick like I did, I'd give the series a second chance. This is a much better experience imo, even if the dress up portion is wonky right now. |

Someone is currently in the process of beating the game using bananas as a controller for the PS4 (via a PC controller mod).

Now that I'm into the post game content, the shaders stuff isn't so bad. Main thing thats turned me around is the legendary drop rate. Game practically drops them lkke candy, so if you put together a set of armor you like, you can put a shader on all of it, and just infuse stuff to keep it leveled. I'm sitting on 80 legendary shards and have been infusing stuff right along.

So who here has this? Because from what I understand, being in a clan nets you quite a lot of rewards. If there are enough people here with the game, I'll start a tpww clan.

What about someone like me who couldn't be bothered with getting Taken King, so my playtime dropped to zero because I couldn't do shit anymore and even regular patrol mooks were giving me hassle because level cap?

If this guided games idea works, I may grab this on a Black Friday deal, as it solves the BIG problem in the first game. But as I've been harping about in the thread, not digging a lot of the changes Bungie made. |

I changed my main colors maybe four times ever in D1, so the changes hurt me the most. I like having a main shader. Forever. Not this thing where on top of RNG changes I have to hop I get the same shader basically everytime. How does the game know which shader I prefer? |

Say there's a shader called Sexy Violet. I love it. I want it all over me like a seductive cheese dip.
Am I getting that 2-4 times at once? Or are you saying the drop rate theoretically gives me more chances to get that shader? |

2-4 times at once, so you'll be able to put it on several pieces of armor right off the bat. Can't control which shaders randomly drop. You can see which shaders the factions give out in their legendary engrams, and you can just grind out tokens to get more of the ones you want, but outside of that you don't have any control over what shaders drop.
I'm at 263 light right now and I'm sitting on a ton of shaders. Many of which I've gotten more than once, including legendaries. Shaders are attached to the specific armor piece its equipped to, so if you're the type who likes to just equip more powerful armor instead of infusing what you like, then the new system is going to suck for you. Like I said, best thing to do is hold onto your shaders until you find a set of armor you like, apply the shader, and then infuse it with more powerful gear as you come across it. It actually makes for an interesting way to collect gear. I'm going to put together different sets of armor that buff the different hunter classes, and then swap out armor when I switch sub classes. Another cool thing is that you can now apply shaders to weapons, ships, and sparrows. |

Only big downer is that the factions from D1 aren't in this.
Absolutely loved FWC's color scheme and armor rewards. My LED helmet was fucking tits. |

But I will be one of those waiting a bit on this. My main curiosities and actual financial obligations lie elsewhere. Will be picking up Cuphead and Ghost of a Tale, as well as re-upping my Live this month. My grindy itch is and has been being scratched by Destiny's unintentional competition, so not on pins and needles of *having* to jump in right now like I was on the first. |

Recommended power level for the raid is 260-280. I'm at 277 right now, so I'm good to go.

Game managed to top the sales charts in Japan for its debut although only sold 50k copies and 5k more than 2nd place Splatoon 2.
Around 45% lower than what Destiny 1 did for its PS4 launch in Japan (91,277). https://www.destructoid.com/destiny-...s-460735.phtml |

Trials of the Nine is pretty hardcore. Need a weapon with range, as there are lots of long sight lines.
Also, FUCK the Midas Multi Tool |

Me and Khuntry ran crucible last night and whatever streamlining they tried for the kiddies won't prevent the new team composition meta that's gonna explode in a few weeks once people figure the 'characters' Bungie made with each sub-class.
Hit level 20 and I don't know if I'm gonna finish campaign sense so much stuff opened up. When I get back home I dunno if I'll get this immediately since Marvel will be out that night. I'll see what Deadwingz thinks. Mull it over. |

The timer gimmick was fun in that Black Spindle challenge but I can't imagine why they'd make that a Nightfall thing. So many odd decisions with this game.

I knew that if your clan beat the raid you'd get an engram, but I didn't know it contained actual raid gear. Logged on and got the full auto Scout Rifle exclusive to the raid. Thing is fucking sick.

Amazon had this for 25 dollars so I bought it. Kind of skeptical since i heard it is my the best but figured it should be fun to play for a little bit at least.
