    I agree with this

    More, and more rewarding, strikes.
    More PvP maps and more control over modes.
    A ranking system in PvP.
    A more interesting Raid.
    A differing and more rewarding hard mode raid.
    A better loot system.

    If D2 had those things, I reckon it would be holding peoples interest better.

    A poor raid, 6 unrewarding strikes (and an utter lack of strike modifiers to make them more interesting/fun), the change up to 4vs4 and only two playlists, and a general lack of end game content to grind are design choices they made - which are part of the reason it is not holding the interest D1 did.

    Stupid lucky Warlock got to 305 before my wonderful Titan :mad:

    I do think people are remembering D1 with rose tinted glasses tbh. On reddit acting like the player base was solid for months. It wasn't, I was there. It dropped like a stone after 2-3 weeks tbh.

    I'm not defending D2. I just think a lot of the Reddit circle-jerk is hyperbolic

    The Raid is utter cr@p though. I said that the 1st time we killed Calus and for like 2 hours later I couldn't sleep cause I soooooo disgustingly underwhelmend

    Anyone know what has changed for the prestige raid?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,870 ✭✭✭✭Generic Dreadhead


    Yes, apparently
    New changes:

    Dying loses your revive token

    Gauntlet
    A player cannot run twice in the Gauntlet (everyone must run once)
    Psionic projections spawn during the running phase
    3 Psionic Charges spawn in the walls during final 6-man running phase (down from 4 in NM)

    Pleasure Gardens
    There are now 8 dogs (2 extra, Rocks/Cave and L2)

    Baths
    Bathers are renamed Oiled Ceremonial Bathers (not a major change)
    More bathers spawn during DPS phase
    Burden of Worthiness buff after damage phase
    4 people will see symbols above Sun plate, they will have to go to the corresponding plate

    are you comparing it to Destiny 1 vanilla or a later version of Destiny 1?

    Surely we should be comparing Destiny 2 to what Destiny 1 became, not the broken game we got at first?

    Should we not have been able to view Destiny 1 TTK/RoI as the foundation for Destiny 2? Not Vanilla Destiny?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,870 ✭✭✭✭Generic Dreadhead


    I'm NOT comparing it. I'm pointing out people that ARE comparing D2 to D1 (here, reddit, whatever) are often doing it through rose tinted glasses.
    And I think Adams point about it being a totally new experience is valid, the WOW factor was there then as it was all sooooo new, now, we kind of knew what to expect with D2 to an extent yanno?

    Yeah, the wow factor was definitely there. Still remember my first strike against sepkis prime, and later doing a 6 man raid. I had never played anything like it.

    Think I'm just about done with season 1. One chest away from having all characters max ranked (of course it's my primary character) and have all the meta guns. Don't feel the need to max rank individual pieces of gear (although I'll probably do a bit) as once the dlc drops they become obsolete and max rank isn't necessary for anything.
    Six weeks of fairly solid gaming is a fair return imo. There is no end game/spoon.


    Already purchased Wolfenstein II and Darksiders Collection and finishing off some games that fell by the wayside thanks to D1, such as Doom, TitanFall 2, Far Cry 4 (this will be the 3rd or 4th restart) and several more. Will look to finish Infamous Second Son and start First Light again. Dishonoured 2 demo .... there's a lot of stuff to do that isn't d2.

    titan fall 2 is solid, haven't played in a while but might throw it on later for a bit of craic!

    something similar happened to me in terms of games building up.

    I have the last of us, god of war 3, shadow of mordor GOTY, Dragon age inquisition GOTY, lords of the fallen, tomb raider and a few more id say...

    so tempted to buy the witcher 3 GOTY at 20euro... even though I know itll probably just sit there :rolleyes:

    Free shipping. Thank f*ck.

    I read "Don't buy from here contact me and we'll work something out" and all I thought was "this isn't going to end well"

    If you were seriously thinking of buying something like that you really shouldn't be playing the game..........or allowed anywhere near the internet

    100% positive feedback though must be legit

    I haven't logged in all week. Just have no interest anymore.

    I played last night and completed a raid with some people who hadn't done it before. Was fun.

    In terms of mechanics, the raid gets a bit dull after a while, but I still think the leviathan looks fantastic.

    Nice chassis, terrible engine.

    Because of the mechanics.

    Gimli, you're really not missing out by not finishing Far Cry 4. The latter half of the game is not as good as the 1st few hours and overall it's not a patch on 3. Put that one right to the back of the queue, it's disappointing imho.

    At the start of the game after you are kidnapped and you are told to wait and finish the crab rangoon, don't leave the room.. sit there for exactly 5 mins and watch... best video game Easter egg ever!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,870 ✭✭✭✭Generic Dreadhead


    It's funny but It's not really an Easter Egg though

    Bungie: Were gonne release the prestiege raid glitch and all,but we have a way to detect if its used so the team that get that first completion wont have a tarnished/questioned result as they wont be counted if usimg the glitch

    Clan that finishes raid first: We used a heavy ammo glitch

    Bungie: There still the champs and its ok cause we have no way to detect the heavy ammo glitch and cant verify if glitch used.

    Even though the clan themselves said they used the glitch to do the raid. Good job bungie

    MEH - to be honest.

    Its an exploit, technically cheating, but meh - its a heavy ammo glitch. We've all used them before at Crota. Sure, we weren't going for Worlds First but we did it, loads.

    I would probably look at using this glitch myself next time I run Calus cause running out of ammo all the time is a massive PitA.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,617 ✭✭✭Revoker88


    Personally makes no odds to me,just thought it was funny considering they made a song and dance about being able to catch the glitch they thought people were going to use but then say they dont care when a different glitch is used amd award the clan a worlds first.

    They can't track it - so they can't say if any other team used it at any other point in the raid. They could 'disqualify' the winning clan, but whose to say (and prove) none of the other teams used it.

    Taking out all ads from the encounter is a much bigger exploit imo - and it is the one they could track.

    They are still awarding it to a team that admitted using a glitch. If your going to release the raid with glitches maybe dont make a big song and dance about world first.

    I never expected them to release a raid without glitches, or to not make a deal out of Worlds First. It isn't even something they provide an award for - just an aknowledgement. It is the community that makes it a thing. It is also the community that will decide if it is legit or not.

    They called out a massive exploit they were aware of, and could track, a said that was a no-go.

    There are probably a load of other glitches that could be exploited too.

    They admitted to doing the raid using tactics outside what Bungie would have intended. THEY ADMITTED IT.

    And yes most of us have used a similar glitch but we we're not competing to be worlds first.

    In order to qualify, every member of the team should have to live broadcast and save their full run, it would save **** like this.

    Give it to team 2.
