Destiny 2: Season Of The Chosen |OT| Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal.
- Thread starter Stalker
- Start date
I agree with this.
I don't think anything else gets vaulted in the immediate future - install size is currently at 60GB (according to my PC) - I wonder what their internal target is before vaulting must begin again (80GB? 100GB?) Seems we're more likely to hit whatever threshold that is right around Lightfall than in a few seasons.
My position on vaulting is the same as it was when they announced it the first time. Removing story content from the game sucks. It's such a disservice to the incredible work they've done with this game to make the majority of it unplayable. I don't care if they remove public/patrol areas from the game or anything like that. I loved playing Red War and Warmind and those are just gone now, possibly forever.
I imagine Forsaken will be made free either sometime this year or when Witch Queen launches and be the next thing vaulted with Lightfall. Ideally they'd work on better file compression or something to trim down the size but that's probably unlikely.
I think they've previously said anything vaulted would be F2P for at least a year, so you're probably right.
I don't know how they'd do that unless they say something like, "surprise, we fully repaired the old Tower that was destroyed during the Red War!"
I would totally be in favour of them reshuffling the NPC Vendors in the current Tower since Hawthorne and The Drifter feel kind of marooned — that side (the Bazaar?) of the Tower doesn't feel necessary anymore and the Hangar has tonnes of empty space. There's also a mannequin that looks and sounds exactly like Ikora hanging around but she doesn't do anything?
WALKING LESSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAARRRRGGHHHHHH
(new tower too big, obviously they tried to do more than 16 but couldn't)
The removal of faction vendors and the lack of a travel point in the hanger. Makes venturing around the Tower a chore.
I was beyond positive we would go back to the old Tower at the start of the season, now though? I think we may never go back, lol.
Don't think we'll ever go back unless there's a narrative reason. It'd take work to get it working with all of the new Vendors, Kiosks, and so on. Materials, textures, and lighting might also need an upgrade if they were to consider this too.
Patrol spaces in general are lacking long term, not just places like Tangled Shore and Dreaming City. The only times I ever go to them now is to either get to a vendor like Xur or to get to a legendary lost sector, which is an instanced off location anyway that could be selectable on the map. Ripping it out of the game, including the bits that are fun to explore for a new player isn't going to fix that problem.
Yes its mindblowing they added a half-baked cosmodrome and Europa design felt like wasted potential because it was so big but most of it was wasted space.
I am pretty sure that is going to be the plan going forward; to make the HELM as a sort of NPC staging area for whoever is prominent in the current Season. Maybe also a raid staging area instead of just meeting in orbit.
Bungie should listen but not too intently, "gen pop" simply aren't on board with what Destiny is. It's as simple as that.
They want this, they want that, they want a sequel because that will solve all the game's ills.
Yet they're they're the first ones to bail and troll all subsequent threads about they will never return again..... Not until the next set of demands are met.
We've been in this cycle for 7 years now.

The API Bungie have created is quite robust. They literally can track everything. They know exactly how much time we put into this game vs New Lights. They see what content New Lights actually purchase and what we spend on the game. They'll cater the game to whom ever they know will invest short term and long. So far, we've seen a shift over the life of D2 from the casual FPS COD player back to those that are more focused on the grind.
The population of the game is constantly around 1M on a daily basis across all 3 main (stadia too?) platforms which is pretty healthy regardless of who is playing.

I definitely had a Guardian Games tab in my store tonight and then it went away when I left and came back.
It's interesting how the Anarchy has become the low key Gjallerhorn of D2. It seems to break alot of tougher encounters. I wonder how much longer Bungie will let it's reign continue.
Not really. It's actually pretty low damage and really shines because you get to do damage with your other weapons.
Yeah it breaks encounters. I didn't say it was damage king. While Gjallerhorn just brute forced it, this allows you to be more creative. It eats up champions with the sustained damage locking them. Other bosses as you stated you can apply other damage at the same time. It really is in my opinion pretty much the top tier exotic right now. Followed probably by Lament.
I think you explained exactly why it's fine the way it is. It forces you to create avenues for DPS and use team work to get heavies/bosses down opposed to brute forcing DPS like traditional heavies. It doesn't stun lock Bosses, usually majors/yellow bars. It doesn't tick damage on barrier champs or during Immune phases.
It's the top tier exotic because of it's utility. I don't think it's broken in any way.
I hope the catalyst gives it auto-loading. I just want a kill counter on the damn thing.
It was stun locking champions for me yesterday. Or so I though it was.
Catalyst? Is there going to be a catalyst?
Nerfing the amount of super energy you can conserve by cancelling the super early. It's a very minor tweak I think.
It's a raid exotic and it isn't a big problem for PVP so I don't think they have a big reason to nerf it. I can't think of many other raid exotics that got nerfed besides Mythoclast and that one was mostly because it destroyed crucible.

I think it can stun Unstoppables and Overload champs, but not Barriers once they have a barrier up. We'll definitely get a look at whether it does or not with GMs. In most of my NFs and Raids, I just Lament everything.
I believe the catalyst is in the database as per datamining, no clue when they'll release it.
Ah ok cool I wasn't aware of the catalyst. Good to know it's coming hopefully.
Quick questions:
Is the Presage quest's Pinnacle +1 or +2?
Is the Nightfall 100k Pinnacle +1 or +2?
Thanks in advance!

I have 3 Extraordinary Rendition. Which one is the best?
The second one. I personally like Frenzy more, but there have been arguments here for OFA
2nd one because of Surplus. I got one with Frenzy instead and it's a joy to use.I have 3 Extraordinary Rendition. Which one is the best?
3rd one if you wanna mess with it on PVP
You need to run it on Master. You'll get it every one or two runs.
On the matchmade difficulty none of the Nightfall weapons have ever dropped for me.
