At least last I read, I thought seperate PC/PS4/XBN threads were the idea we were talking. If the OP let the mods nuke his thread, someone would have to do it. I was content to just use that one after you guys pointed out that a Destiny 2 thread would be better than a magical single thread for different systems and games. 
OP's thread went away even after I retracted my statements and asked it to stay. So despite changing my mind and saying that the OP's thread should stay, it got nuked anyhow. Hell, I left a note to the mods not to delete the thread as I was going to try to get OP to keep it, since you guys had a point. |

The story mission was great. Lots of fun, good dialog, good story. I have high hopes for the PVE part of the fame. Bungie knows how to tell a good story, so I'm really looking forward to the D2 campaign. |

I thought the story mission was done much better than anything from Destiny 1. I didn't get to play very long, just the story mission and 1 game of crucible. In the Crucible I felt like 1) the increased time to kill is going to punish me hard until I get better at aiming, and 2) that Nightshade pulse rifle or whatever it's called is filthy. Even when I landed my shots I was consistently getting outgunned by the people in the lobby who were using that.

I enjoyed the game play last night. My only complaint is the Shoulder Charge is pretty much useless now. I don't use it much but tried to use it last night since the Supers and Nades take so long to charge.

Campaign looks like it will be outstanding if the first mission sets the tone. My biggest complaint is that it seems PVP changes have dictated everything across the board. It's still awkward running 2 primaries. I still feel like I just stick with one 99% of the time. In the Crucible if you come around a corner and run into multiple opponents you better bail. With high TTK in this game you will be punished for choosing poor engagements. I notice that recovery times seem to be long so I guess this was designed with the ability to tracked a wounded enemy down and take them out. Ability recharge times are painfully slow. We had Arfcommers last night ripping off 10+ kill streaks and still not have a super. If some games were lopsided then there were no supers used. Teamshots are for real and any of the objective based games are going to be hard to solo queue and expect to do well. I don't care for the Control changes where only one person caps and there is no neutralizing. You also get no super energy for capping a flag which is stupid IMO. Game felt "clunkier" than it's predecessor.
I just hope D2 isn't based solely around a competitive Esport atmosphere. As a Hunter only player I'm extremely underwhelmed. Arcstrider is fun in PVE but it is awful in PVP. Gunslinger is much better in the Crucible but GG last only a few seconds. The dodge ability is useful but Titans and Warlocks still have more utility. Crucible meta: -Nightshade pulse rifle is outstanding. -Minuet hand cannon for your 2nd primary or whatever is quite good as well. -Retrofuturist shotgun and Main Ingredient fusion rifle are amazing heavies. Voop 20 Kill Streak (skip to 1 min mark) |

After playing a few games I love PvP at the moment. All about gunskill and not abilities and supers. Power ammo is done right where only one person gets it. Played 2 games with persinger last night and we each had 20+ kill games. I love the dual primary play. Hand Canon and either a smg or the Titan exotic auto rifle. After playing Titan last night I'm in love with it. As it stands right now I think bungo is nailing it.

I played hunter last night and agree with Outrider's overall assessment of the class and the crucible in general.
Team shots are super real. There's no getting in a 2v1 and at least killing one guy and getting away like you can in D1. 2v1s or more are almost guaranteed instant death. Ability and super charge is sloooooooooooow. Which is a good thing and a bad thing I guess. It's good not to get pummeled by wombo combos, lightning grenades or stickies (sticks do not one shot anymore either, that alone nominates D2 beta for game of the year). But yeah, I went on a 12 or 13 kill streak and was like two thirds of the way to a super when I finally got killed. You get little to no progress towards your super for capping flags and arming/disarming bomb sites either. Arc strider is a weird class. It's like a bladedancer with even worse maneuverability, if you can believe that. It's like a fat drunk guy dancing at a party before he slips, falls and hits his head on the corner of the bar. It is pretty good at clearing packs in PVE, but the hit detection for the staff for PVP feels really weird and floaty. Like at times you gotta hit someone directly for it to register and kill someone, and other times you can kinda wave it in their general direction and get a kill. Probably a beta thing, at least I hope it is. Golden gun is still golden gun. I wish the other talent tree was unlocked so I could slow the timer of the super, even if I had to give up the other three shots. Crucible is 4v4, I don't really need six fast shots, three shots that I can run around with for a bit while I'm looking for someone to blast would be better. Tonight is gonna be Titan Thursday. I'm looking forward to trying out Captain America. I was on the receiving end of it last night and it seems pretty monsterous. |

One bad teammate can sink you where 6v6 might be able to cover for it. Hunter is the worst class by far right now. Arcstrider is lackluster (maybe getting better with the combos will help?) and 6-shot Golden Gun is a PVE ability. Dodge is the most useless ability; the reload is a joke next to Titan's barrier reload. Warlock is in the middle. Dawnblade is meh, but Voidwalker is pretty cool. Dropping a healing pool is amazing. Titan is a beast. Both Striker and Captain America are awesome. Both small and large barrier are great. I played all 3 classes in D1, but considered Hunter my "main", so I'm disappointed with what I'm seeing in the beta. I may end up primarily as a Warlock because a couple of my real-life friends want to play Titan and Hunter. |

http://i.imgur.com/TX7vtAF.jpg This is supposed to be a class based around being speedy and maneuverable, and it just feels like anything but. Especially with arc strider. I had a moment last night where there were like three guys in front of me, I jumped up in the air towards them, popped my super and starting swinging the staff thinking it would kinda lunge or blade towards them and close the distance where I could actually do some work, but instead I did some little pirouettes or twirls or something in the air without any real forward movement as I got team shot down. Hell, a few times, I just ran away from arc striders in their super, just turn the other way and run and there was nothing they could do to close the gap and get me. It was far harder to escape Captain America titans or dawnblade warlocks. Also I don't have any other armor sets with different perks, but the movement trait or perk doesn't seem to do shit either. Hunters have 10 in this stat by default and maybe it's because I don't have anything else to compare it to, but I don't really notice any difference. |

I feel like in the crucible, we ran into a lot of new players who have never played Destiny 1, they're preordered D2 and have no clue whatsoever what's going on. I think we had a string of at least 8-10 games where we stomped the other team by at least 30-40 tickets, and mercy ruled them three or four times.
Hell, Outrider got a Running Out Of Medals medal with a damn fusion rifle. I think our average K/D for the session was like 7-8 if not higher. |

Something to point out though. This is a technical beta that they wanted to test gunplay in, so abilities and the like were shorted. Mostly it was to see what weapons were used more and generally make sure backend stuff worked under system stress. Not a gameplay beta.

I'd love to get a group together to explore Nessus on the strike though. Reddit is finding a ton of stuff and you can apparently explore a lot on there. Just need a group of 3 to do it, because if someone is running the strike and dies, you all get sucked to where they kicked the bucket.
I was fighting a vex/fallen/cabal war near the spawn zone about 10 minutes after the strike started, although they were orange bar and killed the crap out of me pretty easily. |

Quick question since I only really use the xbox for 4k streaming/blurays and rocket league with the wife... If I have a 3.5mm headphone/mic splitter and run a separate mic/headphone combo can I just plug that into the xbox controller and go? It's one of the newer-ish controllers with the 3.5mm jack. I know I could do this on my ps4 without a hassle. I don't have a splitter anymore since I lost it in a move otherwise I'd just go and try. If not, what is the absolute dirt cheapest method to get voice going? I mean, worst case I have a bluetooth headset and I could just fire up the xbox app on my pc and join a party that way right? Seems convoluted but could work I guess. Can't check that method either because no bluetooth on my pc until tomorrow when I get my new motherboard running. |

Titan Thursday. Sentinel is very real. Striker too with roaming Fist of Havoc.
I'm still not a huge fan of such simplified perk and talent trees in the subclass. Granted, in D1, for all subclasses there's one or two setups that most everyone uses for everything, but having the option is nice. Next up, Floofin' Friday with the warlock tomorrow night. |
