??lol
>>140799314
At what? Boss DPS? That's what sleeper is for.
>>140799314
Sunsinger has a killer PvE neutral game with Brimstone and Sunburst though. Plus you can still throw tons of grenades without the extended the duration and kill quite a few things, they did buff Radiance.
When are we going to get shaders that don't make me look like a fucking clown.
>>140799362
>Using fucking Tialoc instead of Sword or Sleeper.
>>140799375
And I can throw 15+ fusion before switching back to the Sleeper.
>>140799401
You need max Dis for that. Int/Str won't let you throw that much grenades.
>>140799479
As soon as you stop playing a hunter.
>>140799520
>implying
>>140799515
>wasting your radiance on grenades
Sunburst orbs don't count against your super cap.
>>140799628
Your melee can't do anything against most of the shielded enemies.
By all means, enjoy getting ram by the major Minatours when you try to melee them without the Flame shield.
>>140799680
Hi [Insert shitposter who is false flagging some namefag]
>>140799596
>implying it isn't true
Titan and warlock armor have mostly continuous areas of color. Meanwhile hunters have bits of cloth strapped on everywhere that make them look like motley fools.
>>140799680
whelp better uninstall destiny then
>>140799789
>I'm too retarded to toss two fusions at the really dangerous enemies before I finish with a melee
You can use grenades in between melees dude.
>>140799680
What about black canadians?
Do they still count as niggers?
>>140799901
That has nothing to do with the shitty over saturated color combinations they come up with.
>>140800062
I'm with him, fuck stacking STR
5/5/2 a best
Why are you punching things so often? It's like you don't embrace MIDA/'sniper' in Crucible
And PvE is piss ez; you can effectively do whatever you want build-wise and still get the activity done
>>140800062
Might as well just do an uppercut from the Razelighter dude. Why do you care so much about an extra orb anyway? This is not Crota's End. Just kill everything as fast as you could and move on to the next strike so you can grab the next 330 class item from the Vanguard.
>>140800062
What are you talking about? Strike or Raid?
In strike, i don't care about your orbs as long as you're not holding your Radiant like 99% of the retarded Sunsinger out there. Kill or run past everything, kill the boss with your Sleeper and move the fuck on.
For raid? Who the fuck want to melee in raid?
>>140800397
>Who the fuck want to melee in raid?

>>140800589
>Being a fucking tryhard for no reasons that making yourself feel good.
Sure, go ahead and jump into Golgoroth pit and melee dem thralls man.
>>140800397
CoE.
I'm just playing devils advocate really. I prefer stormcaller. Maybe it's not optimal, but with the damage buff from radiance letting you hit like a truck being usable more than twice now, str sunsingers are fun for a change of pace.
>>140800676
Punching things are overrated anyway, this week CoE is annoying for the same reason. Even with brawler on, you can't even oneshot most of the enmies.
Not to mention
>Melee hit detection
>Good
>>140800653

>>140800741
what is pre shooting
>>140800852
I can do it just fine with my hand cannon but it's not fun. Comparing it to the previous week
>Oneshotting everything with your primary.
>Oneshotting everything with your grenades that charge up super fast.
Wow, this week sure is fun.
>>140800850
That's because it's trickle exposure.
>titans can't read
I guess it's true.
>>140800980
>trickle
Does it matter much? Even a charged melee can't oneshot most thing in this CoE, you still need to preshoot and finish with a melee.
>>140801085
if you jump punch you can one shot them thralls
>>140801085
Most melees don't do extra damage. The point was that brawler isn't a modifier this week.
>>140801169

I am pretty sure at that point in the animation it does exist as an actual damaging projectile.

When you stop being a fucking clown, you clown.
>>140800245
Yes it does, a bit. Good of war makes my titan look like a metal devil, or at worst iron man. On my Hunter he looks like tomatoes and custard.
I think we can all agree that warlocks got the biggest portion of the shaft when it comes to looks. They'd like two items that don't make you look like a gibbering nignog in a dress covered in bones and feathers and shit.
>>140804498
So they are just straight up stealing titanfall?
First the gameplay, then the story.
>that shitty ass rock remake of major tom
Man, fucking activision.
>>140804436
Sunsingers are strong regardless whatever setup they use. Don't be a bitter cunt because you play with exclusive shitters. I play sunsinger i probably will do way better than you in any kind of activity.

Let me tell you a secret, PVE in this game is ezpz. Use whatever you want to and you can be success with it. Getting riled up over someone preferred build in fucking PVE is retarded.

Destiny 2 better be damn pretty and bring some actual content.
Destiny was made to be able to run on dedgen, and with as little content as we have gotten I really hope they have been doing work on destiny two.
Imagine what a non dedgen bungie game could look like.
>>140802398
>>140801514
>that titans emblem
man I want that shit
But it never fucking drops
>>140807265
>Damn pretty
I'm sure it will be
>content
I dunno. Maybe a new toolset will let them make maps faster. I'm hoping, but not holding my breath.
>>140804498
>Killzone + Titanfall + Long Night of Solace
this'll be better
>>140807646
One can only hope.
Taking hours to decompile a map on hardware good enough to make a game this technically intense seem kind of excessive.
I don't do much videogame map work, but what I have done usually only took a couple minutes for not as big as destiny maps to decompile and open up and accept changes and shit.
Which would also speed up making maps.
Making a new PvP map must take fucking forever with their old ass engine they are using now.
>>140807265
I had high hopes until that article came out talking about how difficult the engine can be to work with, and how they had to outsource work for expansions. And then the outsourced work wasn't progressing as planned, so it's gone from being part of a Year 1/2 expansion to part of the sequel.
>>140808007
Supposedly they're reworking those tools for D2. I fully expect y3 expansion to be anemic. I mean, what can we get that was as significant as new subclasses? We'll get a couple of new foundries, a new patrol area, and those 7 unreleased exotics. Space combat maybe?
>>140807758
>titanfall 2
I don't know if I can get hype for this. Titanfall was great, but the game loop got old fast.
>>140808007
So they originally planned on having Destiny 2 being a full expansion to Destiny? That seems pretty close to their original idea for the game, but they killed it by releasing on 360/PS3. Also article link?
>>140808534
>space combat
A crucible mode that rewarded Faction ships would be awesome, imagine a whole game mode that played like the best part of Reach. But, at best it'll come around once and never show up again like SRL.
I wouldn't mind more patrol areas though. Even if they got copy pastey, it would break the monotony, and would be nest if implemented the right way.
>>140808640
My biggest problem was getting it late and buying it for $40 right before they made the dlc free and inculded it with ea access.
>>140808808
Ha that sucks
>>140808640
I know they have bigger plans for the game, they were probably banking on selling the game with marketing alone and using most of that money for TF2. All the goodwill they showed what was left of the player base was really neat, and TFIL mode they added was tons of fun.
>>140808943
I was confused as to what the devs for titanfall were going to do with team fortress 2.
What would be a better acronym for titanfall 2?
>>140808534
Yeah, I doubt the expansions will be able to "expand" on anything.
>>140808669
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-10-20-report-sheds-new-light-on-destinys-troubled-development
I've just realised the original report is from Kotaku, but this should give enough information to form an idea of how development unfolded.
I'm predicting Bungie will already be rehashing Destiny 1 content by Year 4:
>Sepiks Prime returns!
>Daughter of Oryx!
>Cayde is back, and he's got a very special mission for you *wink* *wink*
And we'll have to pay for it.
>>140809084
Na, Destiny 2 ought to be be fresh.
>>140808943
Yeah, it was kind of strange for an EA title to be so generous.
However, I'm not sure they can fix the problem I had with the game: pilots are too powerful and titans are too common. It was a mostly successful fusion of old pc shoot her like quake and the more modern cod stuff, but I'd prefer a more battlefield pace. I see why the AI bots are a thing, but it doesn't compare to mowing down 30 guys in a single tank when those 30 are human players.
>>140809313
By fresh that better mean conquering the Jovian planets.

>>140810110
>conquering gas giants
There probably won't be anything on the planet's themselves.
As far as beyond the solar system, that probably won't be until d3.
Cabal is rumored for nex expansion. We won't fight worm gods before oryx's systers. I expect the D2 raid will finally be a fallen raid.
>>140810110

That reminds me, Oryx had/has two siblings, right? Wouldn't they be coming in to fill the power vacuum that the guardians opened up?

>>140809802
Larger maps would help, Reba lancing weapons and more interior spaces, maybe with destructible sections would add to the dynamic between Titans and Pilots, while keeping it balanced. But I expect more tight overgrown cyber punk cities.
>>140809084
No, I believe we'll get updated Raids and the rest of the strikes before 2.
>>140810593
Good thing I still have this
>>140810545
And another son
>>140810643
can we please just get a strike playlist that includes all the strikes
>>140810643
Yeah, I suppose more balance could help. Shit like esmoke doing damage to titans was ridiculous, as was spawning with 11 magazines of anti-titan rockets. I still don't know how they're going to have a more dynamic game though. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
>>140810110
>Enemies
What ever happened to that race from the concept art. The pyramid people? Will we ever see them?Probably not
>>140810776
I forgot about that one. He is only mentioned by that one statue in the last story mission, right?
>>140810643
>updated raids
I hope so. I want those sweet VoG armor sets to be viable to wear again.
>>140811029
Weren't those concepts for Hive Tomb Ships?
>>140811158
>>140810936
Yea he's next to Crota's statue before the door to Oryx's pleasure lounge.
I would love a classic strike playlist, I hate that they're going about overwriting stuff and Taken this and that. It gets old. The only thing is that they've brought back some of the VoG and CE armor weapon skins over as blues and shit.

But thank you for reminding me to study up on measurements :^)
I just want the fucking DoP. Every godamn weekend I get cucked and watch LFG friends get it.
Nightfall anyone?
>>140812781
Why did you wait until Monday?
>>140810545
Where are you going? No, wait, listen.
I was right, at first. In the ever-expanding Blighted-place, even Light must obey the sword-logic. Even you Guardians, you best and brightest of the dying dawn, you drew blood in honor of the Taken King. The Warpriest did his duty, and you did yours. Oryx was challenged, yes, but challenged in the way of the Hive, which is to say that challenge is worship — is challenge — is power. Sword-logic. You played your part well.
You were not supposed to touch the Light.
How did you find your way into the King’s Cellars? How did you even recognize that benighted draught for what it was? Do you not know that the Hive pursue Light precisely for the purpose of devouring it with slavering jaws and slick greedy gulping throats? How did you take (or rather, un-Take) the Blighted Light that Oryx gathered to offer in sacrifice to Akka, and ignite it so that it burned and burned the Darkness?
It was barely Light anymore. But you took it. And when you took it, you did not keep it. You set it free.
You fools! You disastrous, bumbling squanderers! It’s not right! Who now shall be First Navigator, Lord of Shapes, harrowed god, Taken King? Not you! You might have been Kings and Queens of the Deep! But you have toppled Oryx and you have not replaced him!
There must be a strongest one. It is the architecture of these spaces.
Why are you leaving?
>>140812781
What system?
>>140813065
I always wait til Monday, gives me something to look forward to Monday night, if no one wants to over the weekend.

>>140812407

>>140813260
Yeah. Toland didn't actually die when he faced the DeathSinger, his soul transcended into Hive Limbo or something similar.
>>140813356

>>140812781
yes please
>>140813348
It's "King's Fall"
>>140813260
It's probably Tolan, but it could be Eris.

>There must be a strongest one. It is the architecture of these spaces.
We dun fucked up.
>>140813480
That's what I thought, I think he survives in the ascendant realm. Or sealed his soul with Hive magic.
>>140813541
No, Eris' grimoires read differently. It's either Toland or some sentient Hive creature.
>>140813772
Don't worry, we'll be able to take him.
>>140812407
Damn, that's a perfect roll in PVE.
Too bad the inventory stat of the Longbow is shit
>>140813772
Like when we killed Crota, Oryx filled the power vacuum. I wonder if he is speaking of Hive magic or the Darkness.
Eris or the Queen will step up to fill the gap. Or they'll be corrupted by the Darkness. Eris survives because of the Hive magic, and we know she was working in concert with the Queen to set this all up. Somebody has to do something with the Dreadnought, though we know we can't destroy it. I was hoping the Vanguard were going to take control of it and that would lead to our extrastellar sequels, but I guess not.
>>140812642
>Not having both Doctrine and Arminius with CB and BF :^)
>>140813779
I think the first Grimoire you get from the Raid outright says it's Toland.

>>140804498
People are such children about new call of duty games holy shit.
I wonder when it wont be trendy to irrationally hate CoD
split screen destiny when
>>140814142
Do you think that Mara Sov set up her own "death", so that the Vanguard will send their Gurdians after Oryx? The she can take (hue hue hue) the Taken Power when Oryx is dead?
>>140814271
You know, that actually sounds fun, but there's double room for error when it comes to shitters fucking things up.
How would you like a 12-man raid, /dg/? Matchmaking would be available of course
Raid or COE anyone?
>>140814654
No
>>140814595
It's possible, but Eris is still loyal to the Vanguard, she wouldn't directly subvert their power. And she came to the Queen, beseeching her for assistance. Maybe the Queen is using her?
>>140814654
With so many people it would be best to make the mechanics enemies based. Like PoE Important Target, but like say there are three Psion Flayers with diffrent abilities. Or killing the Ogre using Cursed Thrall. Also Bullet Spinges will be rampant, but you got 12 people.
>>140814958
I want more of a reenactment type thing, take 12 Guardians and reenact Twilight Gap, or the loss of the Moon.

We can go for a 30k. Join up.

>>140813779
I don't think it's Toland either. As a (former?) guardian I don't think he'd not know the nature of the light. Guardians would never be "kings and queens of the deep."
>>140816408
you can still join the party, then join the game through the party
you dumb fuck.
>>140816426
Eris and her crew had to seek out Toland, he has long been separated from the Vanguard. He seeped himself in Hive magics, it's how he survived, like Eris. It wouldn't be too much of a leap to assume the destruction caused by the Guardians would panic him/his ascendant soul that now relies on the Realm being stable.
>>140816684
I was stating the fact that my headset was dead nothing else
>>140816748
I guess that's a good point. He would have a vested interest in the ascendent realm collapsing whereas we don't give a shit.
Question is, why can't he just become the First Navigator. It is a place of rebirth from death.
>>140816884
Play nice Guardians.
More important issue though, why are Sony headsets always breaking? My X1 controller and headset have been through hell and are still in one piece. But my Dual shock whatever for PS4 is busted and cracked.
It's mostly drops cause I'm a clumsy idiot, but still, pretty low quality.
>>140817052
There's no blighted light to power such a being.
>>140817167
They're literal shit, I had to tape up my PS headset because the headband started cracking in multiple areas, thank god I didn't pay full price
>>140817279
You don't need a worm to be the strongest. He could fight his way to the top of the chain via sword logic just like anyone else. We had alak cool and moloc as players, I'm sure there are others left.
>>140816426
Toland is a former guardian who lost his ghost and became obsessed with Hive Magic. Sort of how Osiris was the former Warlock Vanguard but became obsessed with the Vex to try and use their own weapons against them. to
>>140817052
Sword Logic doesn't work that way.
Holder of power is killed by the killer -> Killer now has original owner'should power.
By Sword Logic.. logic; the Guardians inside the Raid had an opportunity to become the next King, but instead left. This is why the Grimoire reads
>Why are you leaving?
Whomever is talking to us is upset. They either wanted or needed us to take the throne. Because of this we don't know who will receive Oryx's power, or if anyone will.
>>140817862
I think it's Toland. We could become the next Taken King after we kill Oryx but we decided to go home and admire our shitty raid loots.
3/6 for fresh raid.
>>140817862
Oh, but we did take his power: touch of malice.
>>140818134
m-muh ravenous heart
>>140817967
That may be the case, but you would think Eris, with her infinite Hive knowledge, would have told us about the repercussions of not taking Oryx's power.
It's not like we went in there lore-wise for the loot. It was to see the King fall.
The more I read into this, the more I believe us being used. Somebody wants the throne.
>>140818134
Touch of Malice, for all intended purposes, is literally only a touch of Taken power.
You can't equate that gun to the power to mold will.

I have made preparations.
If I am defeated I know it will be because my understanding of the universe was incomplete. I failed to anticipate some strategy, some nemesis. (Perhaps Taox, if she still lives.)
If I am defeated, I know that I will fall to something mighty. Something that craves might, something that loves what I love, which is the Deep, a principle and a power, the versatile, protean need to adapt and endure, to reach out and shape the universe entirely for that purpose, to mutate and redesign and test and iterate so that it can prevail, can seize existence and hold it, certain that this is everything, that there is nothing to life except living. And it has two faces, yet it is one shape. One face is the objective, which is obvious, and the other face is that will to sacrifice things and ideas for a single mission, the mission of becoming the shape, a shape that will not relent, the utter commitment to survival, to draw the right sword and choose where to cut: to allow this hunger to become your weapon.
So I will prepare a book, which is a map to a weapon. And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going. And then they will take up my weapon, and they will use it, they will use that weapon, which is all that I am.
And armed thus with my past, and my future, and my present (which is a weapon, a weapon that takes whatever is available, a weapon bound to malice), they will mantle me, Oryx, the Taken King.
They will become me and I will become them, each of us defeating the other, correcting the other, alloying ourselves into one omnipotent philosophy. Thus I will live forever.
I’ll make sure.
>>140818285
I sort of hope it's Mara Sov who takes Oryx's power to make Taken. It'd make sense why the Prison of Elders can hold Taken despite their ability to pass through and show literally anywhere they want.
>>140817539
But every hive has a worm.
>>140818713
If the guardians could have assumed the throne, then it follows that a worm isn't necessary.
Anyone want to help me get sleeper?
>>140818987
Platform and ID?
>>140818987
Is it the seventh already?
If you have extra runes and want sublime engrams i highly recommend Court of Oryx. Using ~20 antiquated runes got me 4 sublime engrams
>>140819036
Psn Seasnan
>>140818876
I think the Worm is just their means of attaining power, allowing them to devour light, like the Fallen devour Ether. And the strongest get the largest share, and devote it to Akka for power bestowed to them. For anyone to become First Navigator or part of the Hive Pantheon, would require knowledge of their rituals and practices.
>>140819059
I still haven't completed the strike for it
>>140819184
>Akka is dead
>Oryx is still making offerings
I wonder if this is a writing flub or if he worships an undead god?
And the worms offered the hive immortality, something the guardians already have.
>>140818554
>the Deep
Fucking Bungie ripping off Dark Souls yet again!
Destiny lore is great, wish I was here more often when discourse is going on.
>>140818876
Ah yeah, I think I misunderstood the context.
>>140819184
Their worm is what keeps them alive actually.
Without their worms, the Hive only live a few, weak, years. It's why the Hive devoure, they have to.
Ether for the Fallen is what keeps them alive. It's their blood so-to-say. It's why when you dome the fuckers, their head bursts.
>>140818694
I would love an explanation why the Vex and The Taken are imprisoned. I know the Vex have a pseudo reason but it's dumb.
>>140819364
Our immortality is based on the presence of the Light. And I think Akka, though dead, still exerts power on the universe. Or maybe the blighted light it's devoured has created a kind of unlife that sustains it.
>>140819635
The more Worms a Hive being consumes, the more powerful they become. The largest Fallen, the Captains and Kells, consume the most Ether. I'm not saying they're the same but they operate similarly. Especially since we know the Traveler once existed over the Fallen home world.
>her fury never
>>140819362
Oh. That sucks man, the Fallen Saber is a bitch. When I did it I got paired with two Hunters with Claws of Ahamkara. I put the gauntlets on as well and we just all huddled together and threw invisibility grenades at each other for the Warsat part of the strike.
Who up for crucru?

If they include that as a multiplayer mode I'll buy it just for that.

Good Ol' Rasputin.
>>140821227
>crediting rasputin
Na, rasputin's a dick.
>>140821362
The grimoire strongly implies that Rasputin turned the Golden Age weapons on the Traveller to cripple it and keep it here on Earth so that Humanity would survive in the longterm.

>>140821547
You just reinforced what he said.
Even if it was to save us, that was a dick move.
>>140821362
No he totally saved us. But we still don't know what The Traveler or Rasputin's current motives are.

>>140804665
>So they are just straight up stealing titanfall?
They've been doing that since Advanced Warfare?
>>140822142
Yes or no questions usually require yes or no answers
>>140822068
The alternative being we are left without a home, fighting each other over ships, sustenance. That time line has been witnessed and Rasputin is what prevented it.
>>140822068
anon never said Rasputin wasn't a dick
>>140804498
>cod4 remake
hmm
>>140821547
He threatened to, but I don't think he did. Rasputin fought the darkness and failed. He admitted the traveler was stronger and that it did not cast off it's burden of protecting humanity. I don't see why he would have then crippled it. I think if the traveller was going to run, that card wouldn't read the way it does.
>>140822596
No Rasputin cast off his in order to actually save humanity in the long run. The traveler has shown nothing but intent to run when threatened, if you look at its past.
>>140822909
Yes but
>IT is alone and IT is strong and IT won. Even over the gardener and she held power beyond me but the gardener did not shrug and make herself alone. IT always wins
>>the gardener did not shrug and make herself alone. IT always wins
This right here doesn't read like
>the gardener tried to run away but I hamstrung that bitch to ensure I could run faster
I feel like he threatened to blow up the traveler at the beginning of the collapse, then shat his harddrives when he failed utterly to stop the darkness and ran away. The threat to stop her from running is actually ironic in such a context.
Iron Banner anyone?
>>140823691
"No"
