the difficulty curve is insane in this game, instead of a curve, we get a 90 degree
Personally I love challenges, but it is a bit too much atm. And they recommend 300+ power level lol
The update can still drop before Friday, it will be there on the 22 for the final release, but it should be up before that day.
Someone posted earlier that the changes to the GM levels Bioware said that they implemented didn't actually make it into the Feb 15th launch. So GM3 still has the 3000% or whatever it used to have. Currently GM1 is supposed to be as difficult as GM3 was intended to be after the change. Something is seriously way off when I can basically hover in Hard while taking fire for maybe thirty seconds, but I can't even take two shots without it depleting my shields entirely on GM1.
Did they just do it? Because three hours ago I got two of them.
edit: LMAO, no they did not. Or if they did, it was comically broken before. Right after posting this, I got my first Legendary.

It doesn't force matchmaking, it's just the default. You can do any mission solo if you wish. (Not sure about Strongholds).
I don't understand this line of thinking. People for years have been clamoring for matchmaking in Destiny raids. Yet, some take issue doing puzzles with randoms. So which is it?
... don't include puzzles in your game? That's my line of thinking anyways.
Why not? They force cooperation and communication.
It is one of my favorite parts of doing Destiny raids, especially when doing the blind run. Granted this is done with friends.
didnt even bungie themself didnt implement some lesson learn from destiny 1 into destiny 2? i was one of the group that droped destiny2 after beating the story at release. now after few expansion, got the postgame content right again. but i wish they put in back faction rep/gear to gear up to a certain lightlevel again :(
spoilers ? biggest community is gonna be on xbox and ps4 and people do not want to spoil the whole game
I logged in for the first time probably since I registered just to say BRAVO! to the title of this thread lol.
It is above Far Cry New Dawn and Metro whenever I look...always is close to top 10 whenever I look...seems fine to me.....
There were 32k people watching when I looked into the channel last night, which seems pretty decent.
What am I looking for here?
So I should still do some chest runs today when I get home in few hours?
Now we have this "but Twitch viewer count is low yadda yadda" every single thread, as if this is a real representation of a game's popularity. 100K viewers or burst, am I right?
It almost feels like there isn't a 100 M+ console and PC install base combined.

So after the "fix", I got this:
If only those +Speed inscriptions were working on your Black Ice. That's a lot of cooldown reduction.
I don't understand that either, you land for a second and fly again, you just lose some time, you arent at risk when you land or anything. Overheat should just be an in combat mechanic.
Spoilers weren't a problem with other looter shooters.
Well, that's my point, do the numbers show a lack of interest in the game and will they reflect on sales?
Eh, I don't think those games are any good comparisons, one is a spinoff and the other is a sequel to a game that wasn't any big.
Flying was supposed to be a fundamental aspect of this game and currently, it's just a limited movement option.
Man, they never looked at a single other game like this, huh? It kinda feels like Destiny 1 launch all over again. Lots of potential and lots of weird decisions.
I mean Twitch isn't the end of it all but it's an importantly metric in this day and age, I can't really remember the last huge AAA game that wasn't pulling big numbers after release.
There are enough mechanics in the game to alleviate this, from using water when it's around to diving to help cool the engines. I didn't have a problem with it at all in the demo - the only time you have to land abruptly is if you're under fire which massively adds to the heat.
They are games releasing in the same window....if anthem is in trouble based on twitch numbers then both of those must be dead.
Maybe it'll improve after the 22nd? I think the issue with it is that it may not stream well.
Fly to fight. Have a ton of particle effects. Mission complete. Load screen. Get loot/rewards. Load screen. Use forge. Load screen. Fort Tarsis "stuff." Load screen. Start new mission. Repeat.
maybe that would be the reason too for the short distance between you and your group before you trigger a load screen
This is true, but also unless you preordered the game isn't actually "out" yet. A lot of streamers may not be streaming yet, and so their audience isn't watching.
Having to find water is too restrictive and not particularly fun. I should just be able to fly perpetually.
Mostly true, but again, the vast majority of people don't have the game yet.
If you know how to manage it you can fly a very long distance with no issues.
- Fly low over water sources
- Waterfalls resets and reduces heat for a good while ( you can fly over the edge of the start of the waterfall too).
- Flying in a steep angle reduces heat
I have less of an issue with the mechanic in traversal flight than I do with it during fighting. Fighting could be crazy dynamic if it didn't take one hit to overheat you.
We'll have to agree to disagree on this point, I find it an enjoyable mechanic - trying to see how long I can sustain flight is a little meta-game that I enjoyed in the demo.
So you want to remove penalty for getting hit? Over-heating means you messed up really.
Or if you are fighting Titan you may just get hit by its laggy attacks that can deal damage to you even after dodging out of the way.
To each their own. A side-effect of having to find water is keeping the environment restricted to certain biomes.
No, I want to lessen the penalty and have it not be as restrictive so as to open up the combat. Right now, the combat is a combination of priming/detonation with some bits of gunplay interspersed but not a ton of aerial techniques beyond storms hovering like locusts. I think there can be so much more here if you were able to fly just a bit more frequently in battle.
Perhaps lessening the time spent overheated or the amount of enemy hits necessary to overheat. These things are built for flying; if one hit overheats them that's a big time design flaw IMO.
Maybe I'm missing something, but all of the pictures of people's javelins all look the same on twitter. With the exception being the colors they chose. Is the javelin customization that limited/shallow aside from choosing the color?
The thirst for new skins will be big and you know they did it just to create that thirst for when they release them all via the shop. Easiest way for them to rake in that extra cash from people. EA will EA.
i mean when you get too far away from your group, you get the loading screen
We call that the plight of the colossus smh.
Yes. It's incredibly disappointing. Apparently additional cosmetics are in a feature to be discussed this week but likely won't make wide release?
Currently yes, there is really no alternative armor parts to get. You have pre-order set and sets from demo.
