Destiny (2) 3.4: ...And The Horse With No Name You Rode In On

i will be tuning in anytime there’s a new thing to do, but i don’t foresee myself grinding anything like as hard as i have in the last year - there’s literally no advantage to doing so, since they cannot possibly deliver a stream of novelties to keep up

if they bring back the less bad matchmaking i’m bound to change my tune though, i’m not special

oh, i’ve been at this exact place many times

see you down the road :smiley:

yeah i guess i should be amazed it took me as long to get here, since i gather this isn’t an uncommon experience!

It’ll be easy to dip in and out since they’re cutting the level cap increases down to 10/20

true! also no sunsetting of gear any more
speaking of gear i’ve just realised i haven’t won the new titan exotic chest yet, so there remains at least a thing to do presently

see, destiny never lets go. we’re here for life sorry

so what was World of Warcraft at this point in its lifespan? 6 years on, fall of 2010; challengers come and challengers bested, its genre dying under its shadow, its playerbase holding on, much reduced from its height but still alive and full

i’m so sick of fucking survival. why bother even having matchmaking if you’re gonna just pit me against cheaters and people 100 combat rating higher than me lmao. i just need one legend for unbroken and i literally can’t get a good streak going.

given they’re in the longer haul for this game now, i do hope they find some way to fix matchmaking but i have basically zero confidence there
still, can’t say i’m sad about the upcoming quickdraw nerfs

Me too! Quickdraw Aggressive meta is aggressively annoying, rewards players with shitty game sense.

here for this tron bullshit, but i won’t stop playing this 'til they stop making it
i am compromised

Glad it’s not a SIVA nostalgia trip and picks up the BL story

One of my clanmates is mad we aren’t going onto a pyramid again and I’m just happy there’s Mithrax and baby Eliksni.

Very happy about the direction they’ve gone with the Cabal and Eliksni recently, and the game’s attempts to reconcile the “mortal sci-fi” factions existing in the same universe as the “supernatural god alien” factions.

make torobatl a destination next expansion, cowards

Finally doing the Beyond Light campaign because I bought it for PC at release.

Being back at the cosmodrome is weird.

I signed in got invited to particpate in the Guardian Games and immediatley got a reward for the Guardian Games.

Why does the tower keep telling me to go to the exotics warehouse thing? I can’t do anything except look at guns that remind me I don’t care about this game enough.

it’s really annoying. I think basically if you have whatever the “get exotics” token is in your inventory, it will remind you to go there until you spend it.

I just tried the Override mission for the first time and oh boy. I didn’t check the light requirement and I was 150 light below what I was supposed to be. Every enemy was immune to every one of my attacks haha why the fuck did it let me join the activity?? That was atrocious, I just hung back and alibi shot at stuff so nobody would notice I’m an imposter. Finished with 0 kills

I heard last season was really good! So I’m down for trying this season.

How does all this battlepass and beyond light shit even work, can I play the content from last season? I bought the current battlepass because 10 bucks seems fair. Do I need beyond light to catch up to wherever I’m supposed to be in light level because that price tag is kinda hefty

You don’t need Beyond Light to catch up - just do “powerful” and “pinnacle” rewards on the director marked by the gold circle icon.

The only way to get past seasons AFAIK is to buy Beyond Light Deluxe unfortunately. But you’re not missing much in my opinion.

Thanks! I’m trying to do that now. There aren’t many of those markers on my map but they’ll do I guess.

I have to say, since Shadowkeep they really increased the amount of stuff to do. I don’t see myself getting bored soon. Guess I just had to take a long ass break for them to fill out the game. I really appreciate the matchmaking content because this way I can finally play more of the game (I have no friends to do the group content with)

Ikora said something like it’s not the pain you go through that makes you grow, it’s the risks you took. Destiny has always had these philosophical takes and most of the time they’re gibberish but this one really hit home and I’ve been thinking about that sentiment for the last couple of days. It inspired some interesting thoughts in me.

I still can’t get into the lore of the game but I feel like the writing improved a lot
