Multiplat Destiny 2

[Shaxx Attaxx]

How you fellas finding the campaign and gameplay so far?

Anyone keen on the raid? If there's enough keen, I'll hold off for a few days/weeks.

3 missions down. 3rd one was fine but it was the least enjoyable. I’m finding I’m trying to rush through the story instead of actually enjoying the journey. Classic D2 mindset.

I’d give a raid a go but I’m going at such a slow pace I’m not sure when I’d be able to. Maybe a couple hours on a weekend.

Finding all the mini bosses frustrating. The mechanics of needing to do some long winded side fights just to get to get another damage phase is driving me batty.

Got up to the last fight with the witness last night. Tried for about an hour so on legendary and gave up. Will try again today. Might drop it to normal just do get it done.

The story has been quite good though. Feels like the writing improved. No surfer dude helps a lot with that.

Yeah I hear ya.

Not sure I'll be much help, but I'm 1964 now, so happy to help along with the campaign if anyone is on at the same time. Only done Normal campaign.

Streamers blacking out screens for the raid race (still going at around 15.5 hours). Really highlights the worst aspects of Destiny.

Yeah saw that. Bizarre. Only one not blacked out is Kackis since he’s behind everyone else.

 

[manureid]

Was flicking between a few streamers watching earlier. So is that right, they aren't streaming anymore? Are they on the last challenge and don't want anyone seeing strats or something?

 

[dwwaino]

As long as Saltloser doesn't win again.

 

[Burningleviathan]

Finally finished the main campaign on legendary. Got up to the last phase way too many times.

Now enjoying exploring all the extra stuff to find.

I dunno how people raid for that long. I guess there is some rep for your twitch streaming if you are first?

Sheer willpower lol. When I did contest RoN it was easily 20+ hours split over two sittings. The second was like 14 or 15 hours straight and I was absolutely spent by the end.

Good lord.
Everything must have hurt after that

 

[Ry009]

Sounds like it's been done. Just a little over Last Wish. Very mechanic heavy. Can see it being as toxic and elitist as that raid was.

None of the main streamers got it.

Can launch a 12 player activity now for it.

Spoiler

No surprise it was very End Game-esque got massive vibes from that from the campaign

 

[Ry009]

Ok the post raid story mission is pretty good although very short. For a game with not much story, did very well at the end.

 

[Kickpuncher]

I thought I was out.....
and now after watching the raid ive been pulled back in.

 

[dwwaino]

I just watched the post raid cut scene. I feel like it's over now and no more pull back to game. The seasons for this expansion would feel like filler IMO and that raid should have been left for the final season. Comparing it to WoW, the Ice Crown Citadel raid wasn't until the final patch of the WotLK expansion and it was a full stop on the story we were following since the WC3 days. Destiny feels like it has that full stop now. A "power vacuum" Bungie say which future content will be built around. Again, as a WoW veteran, the following big bads like Deathwing didn't hit the same way. It's baddie of the week. Xivu Arath should have been dealt with already or IMO should have been the first raid of Final Shape.

 

[Burningleviathan]

Yeah, agree.
Story feels over.
I'm not sure why I should keep grinding away in the pale heart now.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Jeez the end of the second last mission is rough

Spoiler: Spoiler

that tormentor

I’m hearing the end of the final mission is a nightmare. Can’t wait

OMG that wasn’t even the last bit. Might be time for normal mode

I'm a wuss, tried a bit of the first and went back to Normal.

Are you playing it solo?

Yeah I’m soloing. Probably half way through the final mission on heroic

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Seems like I’m a climb away from the final boss. Have to admit the final mission hasn’t been too difficult. So far…

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

How’s everyone going with it? I finished the story last week. Has to be my favourite in all of Destiny. The last mission wasn’t too bad on heroic tbh

 

[Burningleviathan]

Yeah enjoying it. Lots more to do than other expansions.
Not done the class item thing. Sounds like a pain in the butt to even start it.

Ugh I gave it a go last night. Such a bitch to finish all 3 in a row.

It's a timed activity for the duo as well?
Seems harsh to make people spend all that time to start it just to give them a time limit

 

[Ry009]

Hit the powerful cap and at 2000 now, but I don't remember pinnacles being hid behind so much of the LFG content.

Add to the fact with dungeons as well, that the price for keys in the long run is probably ok value, but hiding content behind an additional 30 buck outlay upfront on the DLC itself is pretty rough IMO.

Hard to find anyone in Aus at the same time I'm on, and most of the other Discord LFG are overseas so the time difference doesn't work out.

Would be fine with most of the above, but they recycle a tonne of content that unless you're an uber addicted no life player - ain't enough value in the long run.

Wait to see how the remaining episodes go, but think I enjoyed combination of Witch Queen/Lightfall more (although I jumped back in a month before launch of Final Shape)
