With that whole instant gratification discussion I agree. The witch queen legend campaign took me 12 hours to beat solo on day 1. I felt like i was back playing cod memorizing the enemy spawns and conserving ammo. It was a hell of a fun time doing it because i was invested in the story heavily but finishing that campaign was one of the best feelings.
YESSS THIS WAS IT.
Grandmasterz have the same effect
@@xd3m0nxx25 no they don’t lmao
@@xd3m0nxx25 no they don't lmaoooo
@@xd3m0nxx25 gms can be speedran super easily. Unless it’s proving grounds or glassway, they aren’t that hard
It's honestly impressive that Bungie managed to create a game we all adore while also making it so hard to recommend to new people...
I feel like 90% of this game are filled with OGs that are in delima with their nostalgic feeling , that they can’t get over their feeling with the fact that this game is just plainly shlt . I’ve seen polls over and over and over again , and all of them always have like 90% of them played before D1 and only like 5% played recently (after Risen)
@@mediumsurmoon6283 Or maybe the gameplay is good, but the choices they make in design are shit?
It's cool if you don't like the game, but I never played D1 and played D2 since the start. I'm easy-going. I take my breaks and play other games, but it's still a really good game. It just has its big issues as does every single game
@@GuzzlingDuck gameplay is mediocre at best there's no difficulty or satisfaction unless you are underlight ar which point yhe difficulty is that you need to magdump even red bars and everything oneshots.
Pvp is inexcusable period lol, even as a decent player I can't remember a single game I didn't get shot behind walls.
@@fotis3v480 I wouldn’t say mediocre. PvP is pretty hot ass. I love spawning in the enemy spawn alone having all 6 players turn around and eat my ass. PvE is definitely better than most games out there. There’s a reason destiny has out lived so many “ destiny killers “

My biggest issue so far as a returning player has got to be the whole “raffle system” nonsense you have to play with ADA-1 in the tower for gear mods. I don’t understand why something so integral to build-crafting is being gatekept by the game itself instead of being more accessible to players by dropping in game like everything else. I can’t go a single RUclips build video without someone saying something along the lines of “you need WELLS to make this work” it’s extremely frustrating. New or returning, the accessibility of gear mods needs to be addressed. no one wants to wait months at a time to get mods that they need just for FUN endgame build-crafting
I completely agree with this.
Destiny actually has very solid depth to its buildcrafting now, between subclass/aspects/fragments/stats/exotic weapon/exotic armor/weapon perks/combat style mods.
Therefore, someone who hasn't played Destiny before, but has played a lot of other hyper-complex buildcrafting games, get pretty excited when they see the build options that Destiny 2 has right now.
However, when they find out that there's a RANDOM TIMEGATE, with a timescale of MONTHS OR YEARS, on completing their option set for the most interesting part (combat style mods), it's an instant turn-off.
If they discover this before they've invested a cent in the game, it's often an uninstall moment.
Literally September 12th she sold a well mod that makes them MOVE towards players. I missed it because I was doing Beyond Light on a new character and a raid and didn't bother going today because she wouldn't sell anything decent or at least that I don't have.
Then lo and behold I hop off and check my phone and Zavalr made a video about it. I'm not getting a chance for that mod in months, and new players wouldn't have known about it at all. Honestly buff the prices to 15k and have the selection all there to just pick and choose what you want.
@@vexcine I just realized what the worst part was when a dude asked me what Combat Style mods I'm still looking for a while ago (cos he's waiting for Ada to sell a few important ones)...
I absently answered without thinking that I already had all the mods.
He asked how long it took to get them from Ada, but I've actually never bought a mod from Ada before.
At that point I realized how fucked up the system is. It's almost as if they DESIGNED it for newer players to get pissed and wonder if they should quit the game.
The point is, players who have already been here just got it from the season that they dropped, you didn't even have to complete any PvE or PvP achievement to get all of them early.
Then as for new players, there's no reason for bungie to goad them that way. It's not like they can go back in time 2-3 years and decide to start Destiny earlier.
Daily mod sale does NOT increase "player engagement" by encouraging logon every day.. if your game is good, people would do this already.
So.. what's the point of the slow-ass Ada/Banshee mod sale system?!
@@cykeok3525 I don't mind day to day exclusive purchases, but we have Xur.
Big point on that, all exotics he can sell you can get as a random drop already, except for DMT and Hawkmoon which have random rolls, but is there EVERY week for 4 DAYS GUARANTEED.
Also sells a set of sunset armor for rolls and cosmetic appeal, as well as random guns for fun or the occasional God roll.
We do not need 2 more vendors that sell day to day exclusives that won't appear for months. If they had a catalog where I can just buy them for 15-20k each and every week 30-50 of them go for 5-10k each then I'd be okay with that. Or just keep the current system, but let me obtain them buy playing and dismantling stuff. And yes, you can get reloader mods and scavengers and basic stuff. But I'm not getting that well mod for months, and that's ridiculous.
Mods are an important part of Destiny and its build crafting and shouldn't be gatekept to "8 a day, Goodluck with the raffle!"
@@vexcine Yeah that's what I was thinking, just sell all of them at once.
Even if they want to make it random, it should be something like 20+ at once, so that the max wait for any particular mod is only 2-3 weeks at most, not MONTHS of waiting.
Selling all of them at once is better though definitely
If they don't want to do Glimmer, then just add some basic quest or bounty (that people can finish through normal gameplay) to get tokens to buy the mods, or something (since Bungie has a perpetual hard-on for "player engagement").
The present method is the worst. An indeterminate RNG time gate that may last for months is unforgivable, because no one can do anything about it except pointlessly, helplessly wait.
What i noticed from many new lights complaining is that they don't know who Cayde-6 was and everything what has happened to this day "The Red War and Forsaken". It would be much better when you get to the tower and you have interacted with every vendor etc in the tower, Zavala summons you to meet him, then he just says "you might not know as a new guardian what has happened, let me tell you" and then the game shows you a brief cut scene on everything what has happened. The cabal invasion and the red war, firsaken etc. They have done this with Lord Saladin, Saint-14 and Zavala. Why can't they just do this? I know there is the timeline thing in destinations but im sure most of the new lights dont know about this and if they read it they still will be confused af.
Who’s Gayde-6?
@@SantiagoGT15 A dead hunter that led the hunters of the vanguard, died in forsaken like a total badass.
Was a comedy relief character, took risks but paid off.
Uldron sov killed him and the we kill Uldron who is resurrected into a character known as crow
they made a cinematic, of everything that happened in the story. they showed it in the lightfall reveal stream. that would be a good thing to put in there
I Played D1 on release date, beat the Vault of Glass the second week after the Raid became playable. Quit after first expansion, didn't want to pay 40 for another DLC that let me down.
Came back D2 launch date, expecting better, was the same. I played the game, and I played through Last Wish (actively played until first DLC after I heard it was absolute garbage and affirmed my worst fears of the game).
This all said, I jumped back on after seeing the new trailer. Keep in mind, I'm no fool to the magic trickery of bungie's trailers.....
I have no idea what anything means, where anything is, what the heck happened to my stuff, items unusable, no way to upgrade my stuff (because im missing something I've never heard of, that never used to be required), and I barely could beat the first step of the quest for Gjallarhorn (which is yet another sold-back to us exotic).
All this said, this game is probably the best game designed CONCEPTIONALLY and absolutely the worst letdown in execution and re-playability after stepping away.
“The enemies fall like paper.”
WHICH IS WHY WE NEED harder enemies that have more health, BUT ALSO do not one tap Guardians on said tougher content. There needs to be an escalation on enemy difficulty on just adds. Bosses can just be as tough as they are, but make the minions be a legitimate threat. The challenge of an encounter is not just the boss, but the room as a whole. To this day, I still consider the Prophecy dungeon one of the best and the Duality because the enemies were a constant threat. And if they just made some of the red bars an orange, hell yes, give me that challenge that fits the reward at the end of it.
But they should also bring back Heroic Strikes as the default at a certain power level as a nice medium of the two of strikes and nightfalls.
Heck, gambit adds are more of a threat than raids. I believe vanilla d1 nightfalls were harder than GM’s today, even when taking into account of Ghorn/Icebreaker. Arc burn on Omnigul was brutal
@@anunusualname5344 arc burn omnigul was hell don't make me relive that memory
I am Just gonna leave my opinion here, for a casual weekend Player, minor adds are real dangwr to them. Bungie is not gonna make enemys harder to kill Just because part of comunity is crying about it, same Goes for divinity. (also most People enjoy playing this game while being able to onehit everyting, pressing W and not carying to much about the game it self)
What we need are enemies that are INTELLIGENT. Sorry but I’m tired of enemy difficulty in this game being “everything is a tank and one shots you.”
I actually don’t even mind enemies being lethal, but ammo dumping into red bars built like bricks is annoying as hell.
Wait ur saying we need harder enemies? Oh boy ur getting canceled by the Casuals
I have a friend who just got into destiny. Completely new to the game and destiny universe and he gets easily confused by what he needs to do next multiple times. I've played destiny 2 for years and had no idea new lights had to even buy the other 2 subclases for 50k (not sure about that amount but its what i was told by multiple people) glimmer which is a lot for a person new to the game.
And he has all the expansións bought btw
buy the other subclasses???
@@supermaneuverable yes dude. New lights have to finish a long as intro mission and then they still have to BUY the other clases for 50k glimmer each.
buy the other subclasses???? and then pay more for the full 3.0???? AND THEN grind more and lay more for focused armor??? what the fuck im never recommending this game to new lights again, thats just unfair to them to have them dump time into a game that doesnt want them
@@jonathansalinas2224 yeah this is a new thing, pretty sure you had to do quests to get the other subclasses, or maybe you still can but gives you the option to buy idk
I've tried multiple times to get my friends to give this game an honest try, I really have. But the new player experience is one of, if not the worst experience I have EVER seen in a video game. I'm a long time fan, I own all the content releases, I've played every expansion so far, of both D1 and D2. This game has made such a fantastic impact on my life, I've made so many friends and made even more memories. But not being able to play with my friends who've never played because they don't know what to do, have no story to understand what to do, have to grind to get the new subclasses fragments and aspects, mods, etc. I can't, in good conscience, recommend this game to any new players.
There needs to be something to keep people on track. Remake the vanilla D2 campaign if you have to, just make it playable for people. And cut the glimmer costs to like 2,500, not 25,000. No new player wants to grind gLiMmEr for hours.
Yeah my biggest problem with Destiny is how hard it is to get into like imagine trying to get your friends to buy one new expansion instead of one new and three semi-dead expansions.
Absolutely I'm in the same situation, It's my dream to do raids with my friends but that will most likely not happen.
Bro the red war was so good man, really fun, great at introducing new players, prob my favorite campaign besides witch queen.
17:05 hit so different. The journey is the true reward, not the destination. I had this realisation when I was 14 and playing Clash of Clans of all things. I remember being a free to play player and wanting the Barbarian King so bad. One day I ended up taking the shortcut and buying it. I then played with it a couple of times and was met with the hollow feeling of “now what”. Its a super lame and cringe example but it was at that moment playing that stupid game that I realized the quest for power is what makes things fun, not necessarily the power itself.
Very much this. I grinded Vow to get enough red borders to craft a cataclysmic... to use in raids lmao. But it was fun and felt rewarding, and now I have a new gun to use while I move onto the next objective.
Gemmer
I brought a new friend into the game, we've been playing the last 3 days straight and 8 hours plus a session and honestly it still feels like there is still a mountain of things hes yet to understand or learn, the new light experience for newer players must be a living nightmare given they are on their own at the start
The only way to really get into the game as a new light is the way you and your friend are doing it, imho.
@@Sin526 i had and still have 0 friends that even know destiny *exists* , i had to get into d2 with 0 knowledge and friends and im doing fine now, grindin grandmasters and ib farming
I wasn’t on my own I started playing with my uncle who also just came back to destiny but he was still a lot of help he made my beginner experience sooooo goood! He was actually able to play with me almost 100% of the time which is amazing
Not to mention the hours upon hours of grind required to get and then charge up Exotic Ciphers, along with the amassing of requisite materials in order to buy all the old exotic weapons.
@@DongFangShuo master rahool exists? Exotic ciphers is just a bunch of legendary shards and an hour of strikes to get
16:55, this perfectly sums up about how I feel about the game, I’ve always been wondering why I haven’t been having nearly as much fun in the game as I used to. Sweat literally just spoke my mind, grinding the game for weapons like recluse and mountaintop, or 21% delirium and wendigo, when I was noticeably worse at the game, made actually getting those weapons SO much more rewarding. Now that I’ve done many clears of raids, dungeons, gm’s, flawless trials cards, etc. I feel like I’m not chasing anything anymore. I’m honestly just playing dares of eternity just to try and get red border weapons. Playing with new lights, and sort of guiding them through the various activities that destiny holds has almost filled that void for me though. Taking my little brother and a few of my friends through has been a really fun time. And watching them go through the exact same things I went through during dungeons and raids, has honestly made me feel better about playing the game. Just food for thought lol
Yeah now that I realize it, there hasn’t been any long hauler quests that you have to grind for that feels rewarding in a long time. Like I remember the feeling of finally getting mountaintop with my friends and it was the best thing ever. What I think bungo could’ve done was make the Kings Fall exotic an exotic quest and do something with secret puzzles like in GoS
@@covetingbread5851 EXACTLY! I remember the thorn and last word quests being pretty long, but it was so memorable when I got them, I remember the Savathun’s Song strike variation being pretty damn hard for thorn, but once I got it done, I never took it off for like 3 months, same thing with last word. I feel like exotics are just given out now, especially with the season pass exotics. I don’t necessarily have a problem with it, I would just prefer longer and more memorable quests to get them. I remember the bastion quest pissing me off, because I spent like an hour and a half going through the corridors of time to get the gun with a really interesting ending with saint-14. And then the next Tuesday, they gave it to everybody with a really easy quest 🤣
Even outside of those playlist weapons, there's also things like Whisper, Outbreak, Wish-Ender, etc. Even Divinity where you had to do puzzles throughout the raid. We need stuff like that again, weapons and catalysts we can chase after and challenge ourselves to get, and maybe get some story and lore along the way, not just running through five minute content each week.
I was a solo player for a very long time, english being my second language made it very hard to build up courage to talk in parties (I'm an introvert btw). Last year I decided to go for it and so I got my first raid done (dsc). It was the best experience in gaming. My irl friends never shared my hobbies so playing with online friends was sooo fun. My skill skyrocketted over time, the journey through it is the true reward.
Now, I have a day 1 raid completion, trio flawless full last wish, every obtainable seal and almost maximum active triumph score (gotta wait for seasonal triumphs). I have done pretty much everything the game has to offer, and it's nice taking a break sometimes, but I want to try and help as many people experience raids.
I met the group that took me through dsc while doing gms during season of arrivals, it was so cool of them to keep in touch and introducing me to raiding. I want to be that person for others. Best part of this journey was all the people I met along the way, some of them I'm lucky to call friends and our friendship transcended Destiny.
sry for wall of text, I felt inspired by your comment
I'm in the same boat. I occupy myself by chasing the seasonal seals and doing it before the deadline to buy the physical seals for my collection. It's actually pretty satisfying to look at the seals framed on my wall.
I'm one of the few who are actually invested into the lore and enjoy reading the grimoire and such, and even then if I don't want to I just listen to a Byf video. I like the way they're telling the story, added with the initial campaigns, but I totally get why most people don't like the way Bungie tells the story.
preach
Story's not the problem, it's actually fairly good. But it needs to be in the game
@@bubalfred260 honestly man, I've been playing since season 9 and I love the game but it's somewhat annoying when some story parts aren't mentioned in the in game story missions and it's in the lore tabs. I wanna play n learn the story like sweat said, the story sticks to you better when you actually play it yourself and learn that way
I wanna play the game not read a book
Destiny 2 at this current point is so difficult for new players. When it first came out, it was so simple, it worked. The more they’ve added, the more difficult the game has been to understand. It was probably too simplistic but they’ve completely changed what the game was from when it initially came out.
I was thinking about how much in the past I’ve taken a few months and then immediately become obsessed with the game again but there’s just not that feeling anymore because there’s too much difficulty ramped up.
The gap between casually playing the game and being an absolute sweat is crazy, there’s so much grinding to even be at a normal level without falling so far behind and falling behind just saps the motivation to keep playing and keep on track.
you ever think that people who play the game scream the game is too ez and boring so bungie have to make it harder ?
and now when bungie make it harder another half players base scream the game is too hard and they dont understand anything ?
so what are they gonna do now ?
@@minhnguyen-fs2iv I understand that you can never make both sides happy, but don’t make the base game so ridiculously difficult to understand. The point that the Reddit OP was making is that once you’ve gone past the initial stage where you’re babied through it all, it’s up to you to effectively adapt or die. You have to learn everything on your own from the ground up or you’re behind. Like you’ve got all these currencies, you have to buy everything to get up to a decent point and it takes a long time and a lot of it is just kinda bumbling through it without gaining any useful knowledge.
@@connor6360 but, yt and other external resources exist.
@@masonwillms2542 you shouldn’t need external resources to be able to play a game without issues.
I mean harder is better in my opinion i dont want a game i can just pick up and go and everything falls into place, as a returning player i enjoy the added level of difficulty and hope it keeps coming in my opinion, i'd rather have a reason to keep playing "grinding" rather than oh everything was handed to me and im the strongest i can be now im bored let me go play a different game till a new expansion comes out or something.
In my perfect world, the new light experience is a dozen hour combination of cutscenes and missions that covers the entire story from D1 to current. Think about being able to have a new Guardian actually experience killing Crota, fighting SIVA, killing Oryx(Kind of), watching Cayde die, etc. I think the whole thing could be done in 20-30ish strike-like missions, scaled to be doable by a blueberry, with the gaps filled by high quality cinematics.
Like I said, this is my perfect world, and I am sure there are tons of issues with this idea that i dont see, not being a game dev myself. But it would be awesome. Instead of having to tell my friends joining the game "if you are interested in the lore go watch a 3 hour lore guide by this guy named MyNameisByf", I could just say "Click on the "start your journey" tab, and go live it, Guardian." Good lord, so much better.
I really like the d1 idea
This would be badass, ngl, but this could make the game massive in storage, but let's be real that's not an issue.
really good idea, i don’t see any issues but size, but if it makes the game better so be it
I feel like you could lean into making Shadowkeep free and making it so new lights have to kill the nightmares of all your big D1 bosses.
@@bmkbigpapi i mean warzone + modern warfare is like 200 gigs and its a horrible game
As someone who came to the game about a year ago, I can say that originally the game was hard to navigate, as I had little experience. The extent of my Destiny knowledge was pretty much the controls and some of the story, as I had played D1 more casually. I think that the New Light quests definitely put me headed in the right direction, but I definitely needed to consult RUclips videos, as well as the Destiny discord for help to get me to the point where I was able to confidently get through endgame content. I think that the current New Light is good, but you definitely need outside resources if you want to get to the point where I am at now, being able to plow through easy things likes strikes, low level Nightfalls, etc. As well as be able to hold my own in things like raids, Grandmasters, and other end game content. I think that with the in-game LFG, commendations, and guardian ranks coming in Lightfall. The days of needing to watch guides and other things to get to the end game will be no more.
14:37 Final Fantasy XIV in my opinion does this perfectly. You work and learn the class and role you are in. You learn how to optimize everything and can go into dungeons and even raids base. You can run into a raid with others but it won't go too well and there might be problems if you go in without knowing or learning how to play/ know the encounters. But if you go through and take the time you get better at playing and weaving your abilities and encounters together to do the very best you and your job can do. Today people want instant gratification and it hurts to see everything being tailored to this mindset.
Well said. I'm a huge fan of slow building RPG games with great stories. In fact I still currently play final fantasy XIV online so I have the patience to get through destiny. I just recently tried destiny today after not playing it for almost 4 years and I absolutely hated the experience. The game tries so hard to rush through so much and then it's constantly hitting you with pop-ups to buy expansion and to buy currency. I played it for 2 days and uninstalled it after I logged in the second day and it was showing me the cut scene to the witch expansion. I had no idea who any of the characters were on screen, I have no idea what the f*** was going on. At that point I was like "if you're not willing to let me go through your story and experience it and get attached to these characters why should I care."
The comment you made about the best part of the game being that journey of becoming a better player rings so true. I just recently posted in a discord server that one of my favorite things about this game is taking all the things I've learned, and showing/teaching new players these things, especially when it comes to raid sherpas.
I think it's so cool that I've grown from a newbie raider to having 100+ total sherpas
My friend and I bought Destiny 2 when it was released, played through the Red War campaign and reached level 20, and promptly quit because we got bored. I returned when Forsaken launched, and it's only during the last week that I've convinced my friend to give the game a go again. So far, he's really enjoying it, but guiding my friend through the game I have to say that last post hit the nail on the head for a lot of issues the New Light experience has.
I've been letting my friend try to discover as much of the game as he can by himself - such as by letting him take the lead on what quest or activities we do. One issue we encountered was the Transmog intro quest has you go to Europa, but my friend couldn't because there were no selectable landing zones, and no clear way to start the Beyond Light campaign to unlock them (as I suspected was required). We tried having me as the fireteam lead to take us there, but once we got to where the quest told him to go, there was nothing there to interact with and the quest appeared to be bugged. That's just one example, but there's been a plethora of confusing quests and lack of direction for what he should do.
All that said, I took him through a run of Prophecy and he thoroughly enjoyed it and has kept him coming back for more, which just goes to show that the dungeon/raid content is hands down the best content to experience in the game (imo).
I had the exact same thing with my friend and the transmog. I was so confused as to why it wouldn’t update further than “scan the console”. When they eventually bought the DLC it was fixed. Transmog shouldn’t be synonymous with BL. It’s meant to be a free feature for all players
Coming back to this video, I started destiny about a month ago. If it wasnt for my friends I NEVER would have stuck with the game. Nothing was explained.
Whilst I enjoyed the first 15 mins of this video, I noted the poor streamer defence that I see often. The goal of a game is to enjoy your time with it, not be mandated to improve your skill at it to validate your playtime/enjoyment of it. Skill level will come naturally yes, but people have different levels and different tolerances and casual players who you and I probably don't relate much to don't view games the same way. I follow someone called JoshStrifeHays and he speaks about something that I agree with, with strife comes accomplishment and self-reward. Possibly said better "To overcome something that is challenging for the player" This creates the most memorable moments and satisfaction for players. Streams and Hardcore endgame players push that content to it's limits hence day one raids the difficulty they are, because Bungie know who they're catering to the most and those players know they need whatever advantage they can get (Div) to overcome the challenge taking into account what weapons and gear players have to pull from. The new content coming out isn't easy if you've only picked up the game in the past 1 or 2 seasons, if it is, Master mode exists for those players looking to push a Guardian and fireteam. If it's too hard you can get carried with good teams as you bring up your mechanical skills and understanding however that Is much harder to get as unless you're lucky to have friends, you have to KTWD vs an already established endgame player just doing Master raids. As a endgame player myself, I respectfully think you need to revaluate your stance on the existence of games outside of hardcore players.
The feeling of beating a Raid that you've spent hours and hours working on is just a glorious video game experience. When you finally get that weapon to drop, that you thought you would never get, from the end of that Raid you've done 25 times is such a great gaming experience. Destiny has given me some of the most fantastic, memorable, video game experiences of my 58 years of life.
I hear you. At the same time doing a raid for the 108th time and the exotic still hasn't dropped has killed it for me
@@wagonweel4200 Yes I get that as well...I was in the forever 29 club in vanilla D1 and almost threw in the towel way back then. It was very discouraging.
I miss the heroic strike playlist with strike specific loot where enemy's didn't fall over and it was a bit of a challenge...
Have to agree on the glimmer wall behind subclasses. I've only been playing for about 3 weeks now and have already grinded out all three of my characters high enough to do end game content, but even on my main character, hunter I only have 1 subclass with 4 fragments because that's all I can afford
What in Destiny do you like doing the most? I can try to throw out a couple ways on getting glimmer without going out of your way. Strikes, Crucible, Gambit, Raids/Dungeons.
Also if you play on Xbox I'd be happy to bring you along with my group
The issue is the glimmer cap we’ve had for years. There’s a lot more stuff we can get that needs glimmer so double or triple the current limit
Yeah I wish it would go back to xp if they’re gonna have an unlock system like this
I feel that Destiny could really benefit from some sort of Activity Adviser for new players. It could help them through the game, stuff like "go do this campaign, go do this dungeon, go try out a nightfall, go do the seasonal stuff." This would also really benefit from the in game LFG we're getting in Lightfall.
Also, I feel like they should make a F2P campaign that introduces you to all the enemy factions, gives you all the subclass stuff, and generally, helps you understand what's going on. (This is assuming Bungie doesn't want to unvault old stuff. Unvaulting old stuff would be a better solution, and new players could be pushed towards the Red War as an introduction.)
I completely agree with you about reading books vs playing video games. I do enjoy reading just not when I'm looking for action in a video game. They are two completely separate activities that I enjoy.
Interested to see what these Guardian Ranks are fully, cause from the sounds of it from the showcase, the whole point of the Guardian ranks is like a bunch of challenges, that sort of build up to eventually running a raid, so it could be good for new lights? I really hope. I also really hope since they're for everyone they're retroactive cause otherwise that'd be really dumb lmaoo
Guardian ranks is basically to show off your knowledge I'm guessing is kinda like a title where you need to complete triumphs in order to get one and then you can equip it and show it off same concept for guardian ranks but instead of a title you get well a rank
@@SenSnpz Yea but the whole point of it is to show new players "Hey this guy's been around for a while, he knows what he's doing" so it would only make sense for it to be retroactive otherwise it defeats the whole purpose of it
That last post resonates with me a lot. Plus having no access to previous seasonal content and no way to buy it. Like the Crown of Sarrow just sitting in the Helm taunting me. I can't access anything on it nor grind for weapons. I managed to toy around on the Leviathan enough to level up the vendor of the Crown, and I can't even pick up the engram. Like, why is this stuff not unlocked for the new season or along with the new season Pass??
I can guarantee that the people saying "challenge is for elitists" have never played D1. It's why TTK will always be mine, and many others, favourite Destiny DLC ever.
Destiny 1 was challenging but fair, and it avoided the problem of instant gratification. If you wanted something, you had to work for it. One example I use is exotic quests, especially raid exotics. Going through the slog of getting 45 Calcified Fragments, doing King's Fall multiple times, and doing the final secret quest to finally get Touch of Malice is a feeling I wouldn't have traded for the world. Now you get it from a chest at the end of the raid.
I also hate the fact that you have to do legend and master lost sectors *solo* for a *chance* at getting a *random* piece of exotic armour. There was nothing better in D1 than randomly doing a Crucible match and getting an exotic, mainly because they were rare. Now you're stuck grinding the same thing over and over again for the chance to get an exotic.
It sounds hypocritical at first, but things like the Touch of Malice were few and far between. Now, all new exotic armour pieces are locked behind these lost sectors, adding unnecessary grind.
And, all the seasonal exotics are locked behind _2_ paywalls, instead of just getting the season pass
Kinda miss how rare exotics were in d1
your whole "being bad was fun" is the realest thing ever. I remember when It was around season of arrivals when I really wanted to play all the content offered to me. I recall finding a group of guys to basically play all of destiny with, from scourge to prophecy when that came out. we lost touch but i can look back fondly as it was the most fun i had with this game to date.
Just started playing d1 and the difference in the difficulty was amazing instead of rushing through everything I had to take my time and slowly go through the mission as it is required
I started playing D2 again during the free week at the beginning of Season of Plunder. Left during season of armory because it was just me and 1 other friend. Managed to convince him and another to get on and try it out.
The new guy had all the same troubles as the New Light post. As did me and my veteran friend (started at launch/beta, whatever).
I was broke (in game) before, now I'm barely scraping by. Everytime I get on, I have to beg the Cryptarch for 10,000 glimmer- being careful not to trade all of my diminishing planetary resources.
What little I earn back in activities immediately goes to something to buy, upgrade, just whatever. Sometimes I can't even afford Bounties.
My other two friends just stopped after free week was up, since none of us had the fortune to buy all the DLCs. I absolutely do not blame them, especially the New Light. He didn't understand what was going on, but he liked the gameplay. Sadly, none of us have ever done a D2 Raid. I really wanted them to do one, but they didn't like the idea of putting up a group post only for some Elitists to come in. Also, the popups for DLCs and whatever else are a little excessive.
I had to re-buy Forsaken for some reason. Had it 2 years ago. I can't get Season of Risen stuff without buying the Deluxe Witch Queen. I have the DLC, but not the Deluxe. If only there were an upgrade I could get.
I've been having fun, nonetheless. I joined a clan with my brother after he started playing again, and the first raid I've ever done in D2 was Vault. Yeah, great. Since then I've done Kings Fall, Graden (got Div) and Vow. Still haven't done Last Wish, but I really want to. Don't have Beyond Light for DSC, but Stasis sucks anyway.
19:10 This is why we need a better way to get people in the clan aspect of the game. I feel like if we had a good way to get people in a clan and like have an advertisement system for clans. I truly believe that new lights are gonna love the game and not be so tempted to leave off the bat. I say love the game, but I mean they will have "experienced" players to explain what destiny is about and how the game works, and the story behind the game as well.
I think part of that issue is the community. I remember back in d1 sitting in the tour and getting about 2-3 messages per hour asking if I wanna go run crota or if I wanna do trials or even just hang out for a couple hours. That never happens now
@@nyalan8385 this is very true not gonna lie. and now the state of the game i honestly have no clue anymore.
About the content issue, the main problem people always skip over is D2s engine. The engine they made the game on is too big. So big, that you need 10x the amount of devs to make new content. When you work with a small engine, like world of warcraft, final fantasy or elder scrolls online, you can put out a bunch of content in a small amount of time, even with a small team.
Sure the game will look worse, but bugs will be non-existent and functionality will be stable.
Bungie chose to make their game on a massive engine, which is great for a single player game that's only made for a few missions. But for an MMO??? That is torture. Big engine's should only be used for small games, not for an MMO or an RPG that you regularly have to update and maintain.
The expunge missions was the most fun solo missions they’ve ever made
I used to speedrun Tartarus and always tried to beat my personal best of 2.50
@@Randomperson462 Delphi was my fravorite . Just the essence of the activity and it being so fun to speedrun
That part about “process is a reward” so true, the best times for me were when me and my friend were grinding dreaming city and all raids after reset each week, learning mechanics, better communication and call outs, even skating techs. 🤔
1:30 titans got touch of thunder because that means each class gets one “touch of…” aspect. Hunters got touch of winter with stasis, Warlocks got touch of flame with solar.
We can discuss why specifically solar was chosen for warlocks or arc for titans but you cannot argue that warlocks should’ve gotten touch of thunder without also arguing that someone else should’ve gotten touch of flame.
I knew every class had a way to get better grenades (I forgot about hunter stasis)
People complaining about Titans getting boosted Storm Grenades are complaining about the wrong thing.
The thing that needs to be added is for the Warlocks' Touch of Flame to buff Thermite Grenades.
Storm Grenades aren't "Warlock's grenades" anymore, and they're having trouble accepting that. Thermite Grenades aren't "Titan grenades" anymore, so just give them some sort of buff in Touch of Flame, and that should be it.
The really reason Titans got storm grenade augmented was because magnetic grenade was augmented to be handheld supernova for chaos accelerant which was a titan grenade although it’s still not fair at one is far more useful then the other
In my opinion titan shouldn’t have gotten a roaming storm grenade it should have been a single very powerful lightning strike which suits them far better
@@LancePeebles > should have been a single very powerful lightning strike which suits them far better
Flavor is a very subjective matter of opinion, but personally, I agree with you here! One big booming lightning strike seems more.. "more Titan"!
As someone who sunk 3000 hours into csgo, grinded faceit, hit global etc, your point about “it’s the journey not the destination” is so true. It was really fun learning smokes, tricks, adapting your play style through every rank, and crisping out your aim in bot servers etc. After I’d learnt everything I could and hit the highest of skill, it was so boring. I wasn’t having any fun anymore because it felt as if there was nowhere else to go, no climb, no grind, it was done. And so I stopped playing seriously and then just dropped the game all together
Mom wake up new sweatcicle vid dropped
Funny thing about finding a group of people that are willing to learn and improve. I was doing kings fall today where we brought a new person in (sadly got stuck at warpriest) but during totem encounters after the first 2 runs of him learning. We switched up what we were doing "16 is the one to beat" saying how much death singers gaze we had which made him join on the fun. We wiped another 6-7 times laughing at our counts made the raid enjoyable competing against each other in damage
The take on challenge is so true. One of my favorite experiences ever was when I was terrible and had to spend 20hours over 2 days to beat last wish under level. I sucked but it was a fun and great learning experience. When I did my first solo dungeon I sucked but it was so fun to learn how to play well
Him talking about how longer missions weekly would be better and talking about how season of arivials was the best makes me miss season of the lost even more because those weekly missions were awesome and had plenty of hidden things around the place and was just much more content in general, but I guess the reason why we have the longer story content and why I love those 2 seasons so much is because they were the long 6 month seasons before the dlcs and obviously needed bigger content because a small season like this season so far and others like season of the hunt just wouldn't be enough for 6 months.
It just was strange that the titans got the enhanced storm grenade instead of the warlocks knew for being *stormcallers* and their strength in ability use in general
Yea sweat is right a few years ago when i started playing d2 and i even tho i was familiar with the movement of the game and didn't kill myself too often the ads were still sometimes a problem for me ,had to actually take cover from time to time and actually think "what am i going to do " or "how do i get out of this mess" that was the feeling that i miss since beyond light.
When we got stasis it's just been optimising your build for highest boss dps cause nothing else really mattered, ads stopped being a problem and you could just play d2 while checking your email or watching tutorials on youtube on how to optimise your build for dps , now it's even worse with resilience being brought up to 40% resist you can play the game while making dinner in the other room. When i started playing d2 when red war was the only fun thing to do (before forsaken came out) those were the feels, it was like you were actually playing a story mode game and not a fancy fps shooter in space.I know it's supposed to be a mmo but well i just kinda liked it being more about the story and not whatever the fuck is going on now, it's just grinding pinnacles and red borders in raid lfg and master activities for best loot, kinda sad.
Sweat needs to realize that celestial nighthawk gets completely negated by star eater scales ONCE you have that skill set. It's not even that hard to pull off considering how easy it is to generate orbs now. If orb generation is an issue it's the power creep that we guardians have. TLDR, Exotic power creep feels bad.
Faxx..
Sweat was really preaching fr
I felt that “I enjoyed destiny more when I was bad” and is kinda why I enjoy helping new players bc it kinda sparks that inside of me again
Oh boy another streamer with 1000s of hours complaining about difficulty again... Lol
I will always argue that season 14 was the best season we had since beyond light. 15 wasn't bad but 14 had 2 different weekly things with completely new areas, awesome music and aesthetic, with amazing weapons.
About the whole "nighthawk vs star eaters" bit, in boss encounters there will be ads, you wouldnt need a whole bunch to make orbs, a well drops 3 orbs on cast so you would just need 1 more for star eaters. Nighthawks super regens like 30% on a kill so it leans more into what some would consider it a champion execution tool. Issue is the damage is like 2/3 of a champions hp on master difficulty, and even then (and currently now with these modifiers that give arc and stasis recharge out the ass) enemies literally fall over.
It still boggles my mind that people think Destiny's storytelling is good. Most of the great lore is in lore books and critical moments of the story are separated into Destiny 1 and now sunset content. The fact that new players will not know who Cayde-6 was is just a failure of storytelling.
It's a great story it's just poorly told.
You are missing context in that statement. When people say the story telling is good now, they mean compared to the garbled scenes that were called story in D1 and D2 launch. Basically except Taken and Forsaken. The seasons now have coherent stories compared to stuff like Undying.
@@mirasolovklose3888 It's good now because there's more of a cohesive story being told but that's only if you were here from the beginning. Like how many people went into Season of the Haunted without knowing who Ghaul or Calus was?
I do think Destiny has a good story it's just the hoops you have to jump through to understand it are way too many.
I think that content where enemies have the health of a grandmaster, but maybe the damage output of a raid or dungeon, so you don’t just totally fall over in one sniper shot, but a new group of ads spawning is a threat that needs to be handled, instead of a big ‘throw grenade here’ sign. It’d feel a lot more satisfying to clear ads when ads have are more of a presence.
I'm not really interested in getting involved in the "class wars" however, I must admit that I was a bit puzzled by the Titans getting that enhanced Storm grenade.
Titans are pretty much king in PvP. Overshields, barrier, insane roaming supers. They have the ability to ape way harder than warlock or hunter its nuts lol
Yea I was as well, storm grenade use to be mainly advertised for warlocks back when it first got released in ttk it would only make sense if they kept it that way
I felt the same way when I saw the Warlock slide melee aspect, like Bungie literally just did a switcheroo.

I personally say make dlc free after it’s been out for 2 years to make the base game for new lights better and reduces the total cost for new players
7:18 I think this is why Byf has long been one of the most popular destiny content creators becasue he gives you the lore for the game in a mostly engaging way, with cool art and other visuals to back it up and show what it couldve looked like. For me Byf is really the only reason I know any lore outside of whats in game
Edit: immediately realized someone mentioned this right after but point still stands
The only time I need to worry about add clear is for solo'ing GMs, and lately not even so when ability spam covers that.
I agree with the story of Destiny being told in a terrible way and should appear in-game. One of the biggest complaints people have always had about Destiny is that the cool story moments were happening in text we had to go out of our way to read and not in-game where we were getting the lamer stories. And then you add ON TOP of that the stories of the seasons needing to be paid for and played within a small window of time for you to even have any understanding of the next big yearly expansion where you're already paying full price for that. It has never not been terrible that the seasons aren't just free with the expansions. How tf is this game supposed to be "free-to-play" when you're forced to buy every little thing individually for such a high price and then be told "you have to do it within this amount of time and then it's gone forever." How is anybody in the future ever gonna even be able to come back through the Destiny series and play it when more than half of the game isn't even able to be played, so you're jumping in and out of moments you CAN play wiht no context to what's going on in them.
I think they could make thundercrash have falling star damage intrinsically but make falling star only give you the over-shield and refund super energy based on the amount of enemies killed up to 50%.
Make it make thundercrash last longer so we can FLY!
Totally agree with the story being longer but not every week, at the moment I’m more excited to pick up an acendant alloy on Tuesday than the story.
In regards to 17:25, I totally agree. I used to play destiny a lot and my favourite experiences have always been things like figuring out spire of stars, whisper of the worm and doing all the secrets hidden around on planets. Its a lot of fun jumping into things that are really hard and slowly figuring out how to accomplish them. Even more, it's fun when it's still a challenge even when you know.
I didnt opt to continue with destiny when witchqueen came out, as I was waning in interest since beyond light. A friend did end up buying it for me so I've jumped in here and there. As a kind of disconnected player, destiny feels like it's put all the cards on the table, and they've been there for awhile now. There's been some cool things in the campaign but anytime I venture out of it, I'm quickly reminded why I left. I think destiny shines in moments where theres pressure on the player to use their power to the fullest to get through hard situations. Thinking specifically of how my friends and I went through so many variations on our builds to squeak enough damage out for WOTW. I've kinda felt it again, coming back to the new subclasses. but not to the extent that I feel a compulsion to return.
I also think the instant gratification discussion is really interesting to me since I'm studying concept art atm. Any sort of creative field is bound to give very little in the way of instant gratification. It tends to orient you more to see the value of the journey. Being "bad" is only just an opportunity to reflect and grow but destiny, to me, feels like it doesnt really afford a comfortable space to be bad in. I havent dont much high end content since I'm exclusively a solo player now but just from watching and hear others, it feels like there isnt really a progression of difficulty that reflects your knowledge of the mechanics. Rather, just making things have more health or more champions.
Granted, take everything I say with a grain of salt. I dont really play the game much anymore so I could just be kinda out of touch with it XD
1st time around the channel. Needed to hear this. Trying to get back into Destiny and need to get a group/pool of people happy to chill and learn and improve!
Your talking points on instant gratification and the comparisons to TikTok were eye opening to me. I have heard those talking points before in substance abuse training and looking at it from the perspective of TikTok and video games has opened my eyes to gamers that are in the generation behind mine.
I think the best way to fix a part of the New Light problem would be to make a campaign where you play through key missions from past campaigns and seasons (D1 and D2 both) and see important cutscenes. This could all be guided by master Rahool or something cause he’s a historian of sorts. This would help catch people up on the story. I don’t know what to do for the gameplay.
Like a cadet school that has the new lights play through a simulation of the past events.
Me and my brother both started D1 at launch and played it till RoI, when D2 rolled around he stayed back but I played it off n on till forsaken (that’s when I became more dedicated to the game and have since) and he recently tried D2 on my Xbox. The new experience is horrendous, I had to sit in the literal same room to tell him where to go and what to do since the game drops you in the tower and gives you scraps of info. It’s absolutely mind boggling that they don’t teach about mods (especially Champ and well mods) since those are integral to gameplay. Even in MM NF’s I’m lucky to see any of my teammates running a single champion mod. They need to backtrack and have missions that teach about those mods, teach about champs, and give good non redundant tips like “if you press R/X/square you reload :D”
This is the reason i watch you, a truly good destiny youtuber, i have invited a friend to play destiny because myself love it, however he constanlty dont know what to do, what quest to begin, etc. When i tried to get him into a f2p dungeon prohehcy I COULDNT EVEN FIND THE NODE FOR THE DUNGEON for five minutes until i finally found it in the legends node. And that is after having invested 3000 hours into the game, think like that but for a new light
There's a guy in my clan who just started playing 2 or 3 seasons ago, who plays quite a bit, and we've gotten up to speed to the point of raiding with us and stuff. But he was asking what exotic to buy from the kiosk, and I had him discord stream his screen to me. He had almost NO EXOTICS. There's definitely a problem with the new exotics being hidden behind lost sectors, and for new players it seems like the chance to randomly get old exotics is super low.
I still think that there should be a quest for new lights after Shaw Han tells you to meet with Zavala, where Zavala then puts you on a quest to meet with each Destination Vendor and they all have a mission where you fight along side them (minus failsafe she can run tactical) and in that mission they explain some of the history in des2 going from the red war to Forsaken leading into the moon and beyond dlcs.
The grind to unlock stasis aspects and fragments is a nightmare for new and newly returning players. Post is spot on and Bungie made a huge oversight for new lights
Worlds first vog gives me memories jeez carried 2 randoms to the end in like 13 hrs couldn't beat final boss. They were pretty new to do it but they got to final boss. Just takes experience and dedication to get better
I remember starting as a new light in Forsaken and ending up only being able to pick up 3-4 bounties because of the amount of quests I'd picked up.. not knowing about the limit, not knowing what was important.. It was pretty bad..
you can get so much glimmer from turning in destination materials. I spent like 6 hours running around in the dreaming city farming Baryon Bough and earned enough glimmer trading it in to buy all the fragments for warlock and finish the half of the fragments I was missing on hunter. People don't spend much time running around in open world collecting materials because we get funneled into activities, which doesn't get as much glimmer.
The weekly stasis fragments lockout is still one of the most annoying things when you’re new like the class is so fun but with none of the fragments or the lockout every week and stasis doesn’t transfer between characters nor do fragments and it takes a minimum of 7 weeks to get all the stasis fragments
I remember when I started playing d2 in 2020 in season 10 and how fun it was to learn about so many things, I played destiny all day to ''get good'' and had so much fun leveling up and getting the god tier loot, 2.5 years later i don't have anything else to do because I already have completed all content and nothing feels new or hard to do for example the whisper mission which was really hard and fun back when I just started playing
Been sayin this for years, one thing i always loved about destiny and always kept me coming back, was restarting my character and grinding back to the top, every season, ill put my good weapons and exotics in the vault, delete every character, then regain all of my stuff like im brand new, i end up not using any of my weapons i stored and delete em, the journey to the top is definitely the real reward of destiny, bc once youre at the top, you have nothing else to do
@16:00 I dont like raids because it takes 2 - 4 hours and by the end I get no gratification all I get is the "thank god thats over" feeling
I like the dare it just need more loot and maybe another map
I agree with the instant gratification and that it’s more fun getting good than it is being good. I had the most fun in this game when I was really bad, and doing the final thorn quest mission with two of my friends, and also when I was just doing all of the exotic quests, just putting in time and getting the rewards was fun, even if I wasn’t gonna use the exotics, the missions were fun.
13:29 , 40% resilience has made raids go by much easier. which is not always a bad thing bc sometiems you have a bad group and bad players could REALLY use that buff, but 6 man 100 resilience and just like 3+ raid clears, that 4th clear is gonna be easier than any other high end content. that should not be the case.
I hope one day we can get to the point where we can mix and match subclasses like a void/arc golden gun, solar/arc bubble, solar/void chaos reach with some tuning of course
I just wish celestial nighthawk still did its original damage numbers because it is getting absolutely smashed by melee abilities
Dang that self gratification segment really hit hard. Even outside of video games ur point still is extremely valid. love u sweat
A perfect example of what could help new players is what outriders did. The whole tab dedicated to enemies and players with brief summaries of them could also be done with past expansion.
One of the reasons why i play loads of games at once so i get the bad to good thing a bunch as i forget about the mechanics and mindset so i have to relearn it
Does anyone remember the one off story missions with sunbreaker, nightstaker, and stormcaller? I remember it gave lore and gave you a new subclass
I came back to D2 for season of the plunder after leaving during the Armory. I worked so hard for my Lunas Howl, Not Forgotten, Recluse, Revoker, and some other solid legendary weapons. Now they're stuck at 1350 and not usable in Trials Of Osiris.... On top of that, anyone can just craft it.
I am currently 30 runs on dates and I've gotten 3 red border pulses and that's the thing I've been hunting since the start of the seasons
The main issue I've found with getting people into destiny is the fact that if they haven't been keeping up with it then they have to pay for up to 3 expansions, potentially 4 season passes and extra DLC (30th anniversary & Dungeon pass) all before they have access to the same activities that I do. Like I get that they need to pay for the things I've already paid for but nothing takes the wind out of a new players sails more than getting ready for an activity only to see that red text box pop up saying "requires *insert DLC here*".
I started on witch queen release. meaning i luckily got arc 3.0 fragments for free, but the rest is more or less explained in the post
Sweat is a phycological genius, I 100% agree with his instant gratification standpoint and I deal with this in my life with “comfort and laziness” being too comfortable for too long my brain expects me to be comfortable and it’s hard sometimes to work hard and it overwhelms me and stresses me out when I try to make my downtime scarce, but I’m working on it. Sweat is very smart and he has taken the best away from gaming and I want to do the same. “Learning and the chase to be better is the fun of the game” it can’t be put better than this
When I started playing d2(right after beyond light) I was so bad I didn’t know anything about mods armpit stats nothing and now I am able to almost solo grasp and have done more dungeons and raids and it’s so satisfying to be able to do that and the process of getting to this point has been so satisfying
Instant gratification is just our version of the Sword Logic.
my best memory in destiny was my first week one raid not my first day one, my first week one was crown of sorrow and i remember staying up until the last night of the last day and SCREAMING when i FINALLY got it and i still wear that jacket proud :). though recently, my first day one kings fall felt meaningless because sure it took a while but it became easy after warpriest, we beat nearly every other encounter first try and it felt sad. im happy i got a day one but it just felt unearned i wish i could have gotten a week one done on last wish legit or something that took more effort
100% agree with mods. theres like 5 different hunter builds I want to try but I cant because im missing 1 or 2 important armor mods, so im stuck with my hunter build which is basically just "use sweet business with this armor and abilities so you can shoot for a minuet straight"
They should add something where you can have any of the lore books read to you (audio book style) while you're doing any other activities.
I 100% agree w the take of enjoying the game more when you were bad at it. When i could barely hit shots on Xbox, clearing a raid or getting something like the black spindle was so fulfilling.
I really liked the story back when I used to play, which was season of gambit and everything before that. Now that I’m coming back it is a struggle to get into that story, and I really don’t like just watching a RUclipsr like byf explain it all to me. You can’t go through any of the previous seasons content to get that story and we’re missing everything pre shadowkeep. I’d really like for all of that content to come in with optional downloads so I can delete what I am done with/don’t want to play. Hell I’d even pay for the passes that I never got to play and also level up their season passes that I missed, kinda like the system Halo has where I can still level up those old passes but I choose what one I’m working towards.
Reading that comment on the post of the new light player kinda cracked me up when he said he got izanagis burden catalyst from a random crucible match when I had to fully level my chalice from the menagerie.
Great video, started watching a few other youtubers aside from the normal Destiny ones I watch with all the Div drama that happened, gonna add yours to my rotation. You make good points
I hadn't played destiny since 3 years ago. I tried it out yesterday and I could only stand it for 2 days. The shooting mechanics are great, I even liked the way they updated the classes. My problem was that I had no idea what the hell was going on. The game feels like if tries so hard to make you buy the expansions and rush you through it that I was completely lost. The following day when I booted the game up to give it a second try it opened with a cutscene for the witch expansion. I was done. Who were these characters they were showing me, what was this magic the girl was using, who was the villain in the ship showing up? I hadn't even finished the starting area the previous day and here it was already trying to get me into the next part of the story.
As I sat there confused it only gave me two options to start the expansion on hard or normal mode. Didn't have an option to go back to my ship and continue where I left off or maybe a library so I can read up on the characters, just write to it.
If the game didn't care about presenting its story to me in a coherent fashion so I can get attached to these characters and want to continue then why the f*** should I care?
At that point I uninstalled it and just went back to playing final fantasy XIV.
This is the reason I cherish day 1 raids so much, because they give me that feeling of gratification. It feels like I accomplished something that challenged me in new ways.
Its true that titans always had the double pulse nades with double duration, and it was our turn lol
They should make Ada’s mods buyable just like transmog. Get a limited amount of quest per season, finish quest, get material, use material to purchase a single mod from a menu of all previous mods, repeat till you get 5 mods per character for example.
Lfg is a cesspool when it come to finding players. My biggest pet peeve is hopping on to kwtd post expecting an easy quick raid, when oh wait someone can’t do x position and needs to be taught, someone only watched a video, someone doesn’t put on optimal damage for no reason, someone only knows how to do ad clear, etc. The term kwtd has lost all meaning and I have to get toxic to people that ignore it now because they are blatantly disrespecting me and the other players when they join a kwtd post when not knowing.
1 minute in Sweat coming out with the "Well *my* student loans weren't paid off so why should theirs!" argument. I farmed for the Forerunner catalyst, and I think it's cool they gave us red borders and an updated perk pool at all and will have no problem farming for them when I want to. As it is I already have a bunch of good rolls and trying to farm other weapons so it's a nice long-term investment considering I paid for the 30th anniversary.
