It seems very strange to still have Shaders work as consumables, especially after the Shadowkeep QoL changes.

Yup just played this dude running around hogging truth ammo and diving everywhere killing everybody, look and he's unbroken. At 1100 glory...
Heh and I lost 14 points I think. Dat grading on a curve.
Bungie didnt say it but really they just made glory super easy, at least so far at lower levels.
Also played that nostalgia mission. Cool and all, but Bungie never gives us a chance to breath and look around. So many nagging trash ads. And we get it, you can make a lot of grass and brush now. I prefer the spartan original aesthetic.
Alsoooo wtf is with those weird voices in that corner spawn on widows court? For some reason they annoy me so bad. They make me want to throw something.
LOLZ I just lost 4 glory on a loss. And these dudes were VERY barely better than us.
Edits: I just realized Bungie did this partly to stop matchmaking taking an hour at higher comp. You may face monsters, but you wont lose any glory anyway,
Did the ordeal nightfall at 920, at 909. That WAS an ordeal, but fun as hell. I loved it.

You CAN access the moon as a patrol zone. You can even play the intro mission as taster :)
Really sucks that exotics in our inventory weren't upgraded to Armor 2.0. Still not sure if I'll ever get rid of my Insurmountable Skullfort with Hand's On and Heavy Ammo finder.
And again, you pay 35 bucks for Shadowkeep and 1 season.
You can twist it as hard as you can, there are no cases where you don't get the bundle. You can't buy Shadowkeep without a season. Meaning that if you don't take into account the season, your whole argumentation is flawed.
They just straight up get rid of the Flashpoint? Seems lame, was nice to have a focal point once a week for a bunch of players to congregate.
Its still there. You need to reach 900 first. And you can get armor 2.0 exotics from collection.
I knew Shadowkeep wasn't going to be anywhere near the level of Forsaken without all the help Activision was giving Bungie, but it feels like we got a HoW/Warmind/CoO type DLC except more expensive. Really letdown so far, I'm just hoping things get released over time to fill out the content.
Its also extremely shady how they partially killed game sharing with this DLC without warning people in advance. If you have multiple people sharing an xbox/ps4 its even more expensive than before.

I used to buy stuff on my ps4 and let my son use his account on my primary console, he could play everything there and I could play everything on another ps4. Now, he has shadowkeep, but I had to buy the season pass for him with silver, as it's tied to your bungie account, not psn account.
Basically shadowkeep itself can be game shared but anything tied into the season pass stuff can't, so certain quests or activities, or the premium track of seasons.
As someone who game shares it sucks, but can't really blame Bungie for people exploiting the systems for free games.
I don't think its exploiting the system to expect the game you bought to fully function for multiple profiles on the same console.
Does "Gateway Between Worlds" no longer exist? I thought you picked it up from Petra then did a certain amount of Blind Well for your Oracle offering.
EDIT: Just checked again and it was there. It has been moved to the section with the bounties. My bad.

Well except actual cut-scenes.
And new levels.
And voiced characters.
And actually being good.
The campaign felt about on par with Warmind for me which isn't bad per say (I really enjoyed Warmind) but it does feel a bit short for an expansion. I get it though I can't imagine it was easy for Bungie splitting off from Activision and still having to put out an expansion for this year without support from other studios.
Not just that, it's long form storytelling that you will expand through the raid, the vex offensive the dungeon and upcoming seasons. The days of blowing your load in one and done 8 hour campaign are over especially if you want to keep an engaged audience see the Mara sov vignettes from Forsaken and invitations of the nine for drifter.
I think D3 will wrap up the Pyramid bois.
I think whatever expansion we get will wrap up Queen/Savuthon.
Yeah, with the introduction of the pyramid bois it's hard to think of what they could do to make a bigger threat than them. They've been teased as the Darkness' version of Guardians for so long it would be a total ass pull to try to one up then with a new race, or an existing race rising up again or some shit. Red Legion is done, the Fallen are as sparse as ever, Hive lost one of their big bads and after Savathun that'll be two. Vex just doing what they do. The pyramid ships are set up for the big bads, so yeah probably for D3. Even then though, it's hard to imagine them supporting D3 as long as D2 while keeping the story and lore interesting.
Played a game of gambit prime, no idea wtf is going on... aren't there like tutorials or some shit for this?
Man when I'm just a little bit away from getting a new season pass reward my brain just devolves and gives in to the skinner box.
Yeah same here. This game doesn't tell you squat.
I just started playing this game yesterday and have no idea what I'm doing.
It all seems so strange and unfocused.
Pretty much,
Seems they've delegated the responsibility of onboarding to tubers and streamers.
It's essentially a Firefight vs. game. Two teams of four spawn on identical, but separate maps. The main objective is to kill as many enemies as fast as possible, enemies will drop motes(the bright triangles that pop out), pick those up. You put motes in the bank(which is the glowy capsule/tower near where you spawned) to gain progress. Die and you lose any motes you are holding if you haven't put them in the bank. Bank 100 motes and you summon a primeval, the boss of the round. Kill your primeval first to win. That's the basics.
The next layer is the PvP aspect. The motes you bank will summon enemies to the the other team's side to stop them from banking their motes. 5 is a little enemy(easy), 10 is a medium enemy, 15 is a large enemy(difficult). There are also invasions, starting at 25 motes in the bank, a portal will open up to spawn 1 player at a time to the other side, to kill the enemy team. It's similar to Dark Souls invasions in a way. Invader's get wall hack and an over shield. You invade and can get invaded. During the primeval phase, if an Invader kills you or one of your team, the primeval will heal some health.
It's one of my favorite game modes, sucks to hear that it doesn't properly introduce new light players(tbh it never did, I just follow the game's news). Hope this helps.
Watch a video. Yeah the game sucks at telling you enough to really know what youre doing. It only takes a few rounds to get the hang of it though.
Basically you go kill bad guys. Bad guys drop motes. You pick up the motes and put them (bank them) into the contraption in the center area. Once your team puts in enough, a boss comes. Youre racing against another team to bank those motes then kill the boss. Theres a little more to it but thats the gist.
Did they mention that Shadowkeep was a smaller content in the ViDocs or anything? I don't recall.
So far the campaign seems like busy work with a very minimal story connecting it.
I'm hoping the new activity of the Vex thing is fun...
With my luck it will not have matchmaking or something.
EDIT: Also, even after playing Forsaken and the Gambit Season the Onboarding of the new stuff was abysmal. Just a little blimp saying to go to the moon and that's it. Not a great experience.

There are few greater joys D2 gave me than the Queenbreaker meta in Gambit. I was a god among men in those days.
Eriana's Vow seems promising though.
Yes, in many many press releases and blogs. Rise of Iron+ was the moniker used.
Agreed on the onboarding, very poor.
Seems to be on the youtubers.
Do tier 1 Powerful Gear soft cap at 905? Did the new Nightfall one and it dropped 5 levels lower than my rank.
Speaking of the new Nightfalls, they seem really good for getting Catalysts, got 2 in 5. They can drop Nightfall exclusive loot too.

Same. I still have a shitload of content to do, both in Shadowkeep and some of the Y2 expansions. that'll keep me busy for a long while.
Okay, but not on the ViDocs?
I'm thinking if I missed it on the material I did watch regarding this because I had no idea it was supposed to be smaller.
I wonder if next year we will get a big expansion then. With gear refresh and stuff.
They'll all be getting Raid ready. Shadowkeep has just the campaign and a couple other new modes up currently, none of which are super good for 900+ Light Leveling.
A lot of the new content has not been released yet.
Destiny 2 has had 3 years worth of content amassed.
On top of this, they are fucking streamers, the outstrip content for a living and probably grinding to get raid ready.
