Official Destiny 2 Thread

[DaTT]

I figured I would start a new non-Beta Destiny 2 thread now that the game has launched.

Battletag for me is DaTT#1997, add for fun.

Just about to launch for the first time.

Any clans yet?

I just picked it up in the Humble Monthly. Got to the farm, and into the actual multiplayer portion.

As expected from Bungie, it's a great feeling shooter. I don't see myself currently getting super invested in the end-game, so I don't have any complaints yet. That might change. Runs really well on my near min-spec GPU at 1080p med/low and still looks pretty great.

Yeah it's good up until you finish the story and get your gear to max. Then it takes a dive off a cliff because of lack of variety. Repetitive activities only for what amounts to cosmetic changes.

Yeah, I've read plenty of the flak. I think it's deserved to a point. But for me, if you got your 1 hr/$ out of the game, you were sufficiently entertained by the product. Video games have nearly the best entertainment value out there for consumable media.

When Diablo 3 got stale, I didn't complain. I switched games. It managed to entertain me for hundreds of hours. I'll very likely do the same here.

Yeah I played this on PS4 for over 100 hours easily because I wanted all of the exotics for both classes I play and to max my gear levels. I did not go back and farm for masterworks. I didn’t feel that was worth the time. Still as you said I got my money’s worth.

So you can't chat with anyone who's not in some kind of group is that right? I think the rules say local chat is for those in an activity. But I wanted to be clear about it, there's no open chat for everyone on a map like in Guild Wars?

Correct. On pc I think some clans use something like teamspeak for outside chat. Not too sure what options exist on pc.

Everyone uses discord.
