tomorrow during the weekly update they might drop the new October roadmap, which should give us a preview of the Halloween Event/Iron Banner stuff.

or I'm wrong and they won't give us shit. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

I feel like they would have already released an October roadmap given we're at the first week after the last roadmap already. Probably too late.

My hope is this:

Tuesday, 10/10 - Iron Banner
Wednesday, 10/18 - Leviathan Prestige Difficulty
Tuesday, 10/24 - Festival of the Lost

That would pretty much line up with what they did in October 2017.

The crashing bug is completely unacceptable at this point. It has been in the game since launch and has only gotten worse.

Three people in my raid party had their game crash last night, which trigger ANOTHER bug that prevents people from spawning into a Fireteam. It crashed twice for me going to the tower.

And today, it's crashed three times going to the tower in an hour.

Tower is all fucked right now. Seems like the update made it worse for me tbh.

i've managed to get to the tower now but it's just stuck on a black screen but i can still edit my character

 

[Kaiken]

That NF though. Every anomaly counts. We finished it with 10 second to spare. Wished I did the Rat King two weeks ago with the anomaly cheese.

 

[psychotron]

Game felt off to me last night. Felt like the game was literally pulling my gun to auto aim at enemies. I’ve never felt it so heavy before. Has this been there and I just didn’t notice?

Strangely enough I too felt AA was super strong yesterday. Althought I think its just been there all along and the weapon I was using had more AA than i’m used to.

By AA i mean aim assistance. All the weapons have their own AA value.

these anomalies also have a cheese.

 

[Subtervotion]

I have to say going through the campaign a second time is a total slog. It's soooooo boring. It's going to be tough to work up to even starting my Hunter.

I cheesed that fucker and still didn't do it with 5 minutes to spare because of the stupid disappearing boss bollocks. Literally never doing that strike again.

Definitely. I kept myself amused by seeing how much I could just run past.

Noice!

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Don't waste your time doing this on Prestige. You will eventually hit the cap of anomalies you can destroy and not have enough time to complete the NF.

Works on normal NF just fine.

Edit: Just do Prestige as is and you should get to the boss room with 7-8 minutes. Boss takes about 4-6 mins to down.

Don't start a hunter, they are useless. Coming from a hunter main.

Titan is so much more fun, Warlock so much more useful.

 

[JTran2003]

That's an understatement IMO. I am dreading starting my third character. I'm contemplating not even doing it just cause of how much I did not care for it the second time.

 

[Saint9806]

I have to say going through the campaign a second time is a total slog. It's soooooo boring. It's going to be tough to work up to even starting my Hunter.

I just finished my 3rd character yesterday. Took me 7 hours and did every single mission on my own. It's annoying as hell but it feels good to have all 3 characters leveled up now. I did it in 3 sessions of 2 hours, 1.5 hour, 3.5 hours.. It was torture but worth it in the end.

 

[Giriath_89]

Do drop level calculations count all your highest exotic gear? Not just your highest armor piece and weapon?

 

[Chris_Rivera]

I’m not adding another alt until PC release. One was a pita already.

 

[EL CUCO]

I have to say going through the campaign a second time is a total slog. It's soooooo boring. It's going to be tough to work up to even starting my Hunter.

I'm dreading just having to do it again on PC. This coming from someone that made like 6 or 7 total characters in D1. I didn't mind it there for some reason, but cant stomach it here.

 

[Subtervotion]

Definitely. I kept myself amused by seeing how much I could just run past.

Problem with that is you have to be level 11 and 15 to do IO and tank mission. I was 7 and 12 and had to grind Public events since I ran past everything. It's just really shitty.

Energy:
Last Perdition
Sunshot
Hard Light

Power:
Curtain Call

I just got a 290 Daedalus Code that looks pretty badass. How is it?

Is there anything different with Prestige other than the shorter time limit?

Enemies hit harder, and your equipment is locked.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Anyone down for prestige nightfall ps4?

 

[all of my hate]

Enemies hit harder

I see. Thats probably gonna be a "nope" from me then.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Agreed. I wish they'd just give you access to all the areas and end game stuff once you've unlocked them with one character. Let people level up extra characters for class points the way they want. Drop level restrictions for weapons and gear.

 

[GhaleonEB]

So in the hour and a half I've been in the EDZ, I've found three servitors, all of the "high value target" variety. I need two more for the daily challenge. Are there any regular servitors out there? I've done multiple laps through the EDZ, done several lost sectors and a half dozen public events and can't find any. It's blind luck when I spot one.

 

[goonie]

And here I am considering depositing all of one character's items and deleting them so I can go through the story a fourth time.

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

Am I the only dissapointed in the meager variety of armor in this game?

From a Titan perspective, I'm not interested in the contrast look of medieval sci-fi knight of Devastation complex, or Kerak and the lesser degree Gensym.

Exodus Down is "alright", Vanguard/Retrograde and Ikora's set all have those giant shoulders, which look kind of ridiculous, and Terra Concord, the only real upgrade from D1's Gwalior basic Halo-esque template also looks like a Buzz Lightyear action figure (apparently a really rough translation from concept art to 3D assets).

Is it realistic to expect more unique and truly sci fi/space warrior cosmetics in the future?

IIRC there were a lot more armor types in D1. Gwalior, Firebreak, Vanir, Knight (the character creator one).

Cause even the exotics look like ass, barring Lion Rampant and Dunemarchers (which make me wish for exotic shaders to match).

Ether-eater Public event in Outskirts and Firebase Hades will spawn at least 4 servitors for you to kill.

IMO D2 is very much "holding back" on purpose in many ways.

Everything feels very basic, almost dialled back or toned down.

It´s the starting point for another 3 years and the entry point for a lot of new players.

I expect the systems to become more complex and fleshed out over the years and I expect the gear to get more crazy along the way.

 

[ocean]

Less time, tougher enemies, locked load out, higher Power level, cheese doesn't work.

Anybody raiding BTW?

Me and a friend of mine a looking for a fresh raid.

Firebase hades and outskirts have the ether supply PE (the big servitor). A HVT servitor spawns in winding cove.

Eh I killed literally every single enemy the first time through the story and I think I ended up at like 8.5 and 13, there's no getting around having to grind a bit at those parts. I think it was more a forced tutorial for "there's all this other stuff to do, pick some of it and try it out!". I usually just do the adventures that award Skill Points so I have them ready for when I unlock my other subclasses and that gets me basically to 11/15 even running past everything. Maybe have to do a public event or two.

Last week sucked though with Flashpoint being Io, so for the grind to 11 no one was doing public events anywhere else hah.

In addition to that, the armor set you like may be stuck with a stat investment you don't like. Why they tied those to specific armor instead of mods boggles the mind.

Ewww. No.

Titans bore me to tears this go around. Warlocks are easy mode...Its Da Hunters that are the most fun to run. Gospel according to Raven.

Im curious to see this as well. Guess we will know in December.

I enjoyed the second and third playthroughs, but only because it's a great podcast/audiobook game.

The public events with the big servitor.

I had that in mind, but it never came up in the entire time I was in the EDZ. I'll try again. Thanks.

Bad challenge is bad.

Same with the Pike challenge, you have to just be lucky and find a pack of pikes roaming.

 

[Hamoody]

Anybody try out the new Nightfall strike? If so, how is it?

 

[SmartWaffles]

Same with the Pike challenge, you have to just be lucky and find a pack of pikes roaming.

The Winding Cove flight point has a pretty high chance of spawning a pike group.

I do the public event in the zone beside the starting area it spawns the big one with the little ones that come out. Makes it easy.

Edit beaten badly lol
