    I gotta be honest some of these weapons seem OP.... but if I'm the one using them I'm going to enjoy them.

     

    Also I cant believe they brought back that piece of crap looking helmet again @mo1518

     

    Bungie is taking the “Syndrome” approach to exotics this time around. If every gun is OP, then no one will be!

    Welcome to destiny 2. Heroics with randoms is the nightmare landscape people envisioned if they opened up nightfalls to matchmaking. The modifiers have been toned down a bit last patch, thankfully, but I can't run them without clan mates anymore. It's nice to have challenging content, but the bulk of the challenge shouldn't be down to whether your randos are drooling simpletons or not :lol:

     

    Perfect example was the worm god strike last night. We were STRUGGLING against the boss. Would get close a few times but the adds would get to be too much with Mr. 27 on the team. Add to that that nobody but me would try for the javelin. Probably wiped 7 or 8 times because I’d be on the opposite side of the Valkyrie and the other two would ignore it. Finally on a run we get him down to a sliver of health. Everything is on ?, adds everywhere. Valkyrie spawns, I run to grab it. I do and two knights are breathing down my neck. Two javelin hits will end him. I throw one. miss. throw a second, hit!I heave the third and final throw just as I am killed. 

     

    Now, Imagine a quarterback heaving a Hail Mary at the last second as he’d getting sacked by two defenders. Well that was me as I heaved the last javelin towards the worm god just as two knights slammed their swords into my skull. That’s was it, I would rage quit if we wiped another time. 

     

    As I was about to give into despair and rage, Just then I see the beast go still and the adds dissipate. It had hit! We emerge victorious. My teammates revive me, I throw out the fireworks emote until it is cliche, loot and tokens rain upon us. We had done it!

     

    That will be the story I tell when my kids ask, “Daddy where did you get that 337 blue sniper?”

    On a different note....I know it's the wrong time to ask, as i'm assuming people aren't playing pvp at this time, but after the recent update does matchmaking (at least in quickplay) seem better  for anyone else? In terms of the people you are facing? Doesn't seem like you are facing try hards every other game and getting stomped. Even if you are loosing and you are a decent player you are getting a lot of kills and ending up with a high K/D kinda making you feel alright even if you lost. 

    I can’t compare it to before but I played about 10 matches between Pc and PS4 yesterday and felt it was pretty even. Sure we’d lose a few by a semi large margin but it never felt unfair. 

     

    Im glad it is back to 6v6 but the maps are not very well designed for that though. Too many corridors imo.

    So Heroic Strikes with randos was an interesting experience. I did 4 in about 2 hours. I felt kind of bad because they recommend 350 and I was 347/348. Well that was unnecessary because there were guys who were lvl 25-27 etc running it. I never checked their PL but no way it could be even close to 350. Inevitably we'd struggle against the boss each time because only 2 were doing any damage. Thankfully we cleared them all though.  

     

    On a related note...what is up with "strikes" just being modified story missions?

    Also if you haven't gotten the whisper (black spindle) make sure you get it next time it comes back around. Apparently it's going to be a beast with the catalyst(see below quote). My understanding is that in order to get the catalyst completed you need to do the heroic version of the whisper around 4 times but it only counts once a week. So assuming the strike comes back every other week it will take 8 weeks to complete? Great for those raid bosses!

     

    "4 shots from the Whisper will do more damage than a Celestial Nighthawk Golden Gun once we have the catalyst "

    Realistically, what PL should I be to finish that? Seems like 345 isn't going to cut it at all.

    PS4 Collector's Edition is $53.57 @ Amazon. Almost pulled the trigger myself just for the bag, but in the end I know I don't need it. Also this made me remember that I had an extra copy of D2 for @Anzo if he ever came back that I had totally forgotten about! Sorry you had to spend money on your copy!

    You had an extra digital copy of the PS4 version? Why I oughta! No worries though I got it on sale for $30 with expansions so it would have cost the same in the end.

    I remember the game being a little hard to get into.

     

    Does anyone know if any of the updates made the intro more user friendly? Either way, I'll probably be starting from scratch, too.

     

    (About 2.5GB to go.....)

    They completely redid the intro with this update to make it easier to understand systems and also give you tools you didn’t used to get until much later in the game. There is also some semblance of a story now. This is a perfect time to restart.

    If that "since 2013" bit is true this may not be relevant, but Ars Technica just had a piece on how the slow ramp-up of production on the part of Tesla has had the effect of extending the full $7,500 federal EV credit through the end of 2018, and there's been speculation that Tesla was intentionally delaying delivery of vehicles to get as many customers as possible the full $7,500 federal EV credit.

    That has been an open secret for a while now. My sales rep mentioned this to me when I bought my car over a year ago.

    Hopefully someone helped you out Anzo!

    @NeoJoe and Thom showed me the ways of the D2 Nightfall for my first completion. And a thanks to Bru for the info on how to get Valkyrie kills and where to find those blasted armory codes. 

     

    I also got got a very small taste of the raid last night. I jumped into the opening part to farm orange bars for the Nascent Dawn quest. So much gold! Trump would be proud of Calus’ decorating tastes. ?

    Having been on both sides now, it just moved to another game as my “addiction game”. In my case it was Hearthstone. Sure there was a little more time for the backlog but that game became the one nagging for my attention. I quit that 2 months ago and look where I am now! ?

     

    Being back has been nice so far because I’ve mostly been playing solo and progressing at a steady pace. We will see how this holds up once I hit the 340 wall and can only progress through the weekly stuff. Playing solo I can play in the mornings before the kids get up or as late as I want after they are in bed. No need to coordinate schedules to raid or piss my wife off by playing for the entire night, as much as I’d like to do Leviathan at least once before Forsaken. Most of my nights are chalk full nowadays vs the D1 days however.
