Coop is pretty much required if you want to make any progress, but it's not as enjoyable as Destiny, imho. I actually feel like I'm part of a party and I have a connection in Destiny, while in the Division I just feel like I'm playing a coop game.

You guys probably discussed this already but I haven't kept up, did anyone notice the white lines to the far right of the weapon stats? See the Impact stat in the screenshot below. This was on a few of the weapons in some of the videos I saw (Not just on the impact stat, and occasionally multiple per gun). Not sure if it's a weird graphical bug or an indicator of some sort (Maybe an indicator that the stat can be increased from it's current point via upgrades).
Also don't get why we can't get static numbers for stats. Once again, having to rely on external programs.

Destiny folks: I bought two digital copies of the $99 Destiny 2 game. Where should I enter those codes(bought from Stop Game as I had credit left to use)? Do we redeem our individual codes on our seperate PS4 PSN accounts or is it our Bungie Account? Thanks and cheers!

PS store of your PSN account for the game.
Beta code will be redeemed on bungie.net.

The codes on the reciept get entered on Bungie.net. Bungie will email you when it comes time to get the specific code for your platform.

Ruthless and Jest-thank you so much! Cheers! 
Awesome!

Hey, wo/mayne!
What console are you on? I logged back on to Destiny last night after deciding to take some time off from Over○atch. I'll probably be playing both this and FFXIV.
I'm still pre-RoI and sitting at about 300 Light, but will probably pick it up some time this week. Ideally, I'd like to finish TTK first before everything gets obsolete--gather calc frags, finish the raids / strikes, etc., but probably not going to happen now.
I'm on PS4!

Most of it is from folks that played once and want to shitpost. I read a few pages and bailed after posting once.
U4 does this. It isn't jarring.
For the OLED, I have the 65 B6, and there is no real difference for the 2017 models. If you want something different, look at the Sony, it handles motion better.
Everyone should just stay on ps4
My biggest disappointment from the stream is that we didn't get a fourth race. I really wanted a playable fallen character with 3 new subclasses.
To be completely honest, when they announced pvp was going 4v4, I thought they would announce pve going 4-player-coop for story+strikes and patrol+raids getting upgraded to 8. Now that would have shut all the "mimimi it looks like dlc"-people up.
Other than that, I'm just excited for new content. Don't care if it looks like DLC (what does that even mean?) or if it looks like a completely new game, all I want is fun stuff to do. If the strikes and raid are good and we have a healthy amount of rotating content to do each week and cool stuff to chase I'm good.
Pretty much. I still want 4 players, but thats basically it.
Day one.
Agreed.
I was whelmed by the reveal.
Nothing special, but nothing catastrophic.
Can't pass final judgement from here, but the weapon changes look like something that puts PvP over PvE.
The movement changes definitely sound like something that put PvP over PvE. Hauling ass through strikes was fun. I don't want to move slower without skill options like skating and sword floofing.
Bomb mode in PvP doesn't feel like something that capitalizes on Destiny's unique character. We'll see.
For me it comes down to how encounters play out differently with differentiated weapon and power sets. MOBAs are typically built around 1 static map that never changes, but the class you choose changes your strategy dramatically every time. Similarly, I can replay the hell out of ME3 and somewhat MEA co-op because all of the classes are so different. Was sort of hoping Destiny 2 would push the classes further away from each other and move farther away from melee/grenade/super.
I certainly never would have played as much as I have if I was always limited to only warlock, hunter or titan. The small changes kept things fresh especially during events that emphasized certain supers or ability burns.

Wait did you buy two digital copies for you and your lady? Cause if its for some one that games in your same household you can actually game share one copy.

Sup. I'm on PS4. My playtime (I live in Japan so timezone is bit wonky) is pretty sporadic on weekdays due to work but weekends are usually fine. My PSN is Aki-Rouscelia. If you see me online on a Saturday or Sunday US time I can more than likely help out/run content.
In other news, ran 390 Crota last night. Changed quite a bit since the old d/c cheese days haha.
Can I get an invite to discord?
Some pretty cool frame grabs from the event media. Lots of stuff that I'd missed:

Yeah, I'm on JST too, so most weekday / weekend nights after the kids are in bed (10 pm以降 JST) is pretty good for me.
Your name looks familiar. Were you in the FFXIV thread as well at some point? Or maybe FFXI?

Amazing!! So many cool things I missed too, props to whoever made it: thanks for sharing.
Not at launch.
Which means all the Streamers can bitch and whine about it not being there, and then never use the feature when it does get implemented - just like what happened in D1.

Im a completionist. The grimoire has points for all 3 classes. The books have nodes for all 3 classes. Exotic armor is locked to classes. There is a lot of extra content, bars to fill, and things to collect if you have all 3 classes. There's also the fact that running a raid as a hunter is different that titan, imo, etc.
To me, alts give you almost 3x more stuff to do.

Whats the minimun light level for the playlist raid
definitely interested in this, not sure how our schedules line up though. free time's rough lately.

Ah ok. That makes sense.
390 but you can be a bit lower if the group is higher, on average

bungie changing the way you choose perk packs is weird compared to the first game.
Eh, I get it. Like, I never changed my perk setup for Striker Titan that much. Mostly alternated between grenade types and shoulder charge/headstrong. Defender was pretty much the same way, either WoL or BoL were the only changes I made on the reg.
If that sort of experience was consistent across most users the streamlining of perks makes sense; however, I will agree that taking away customization feels like a step back from D1.
Just sent out a few discord invites, sorry about the late turnaround!
I'm down
Looks like Mesa Sean is making videos again about things posted before and making out that he figured it out. I know someone posted about a raid strat that he pretty much copied and claimed he figured it out which is why I found this amusing.
He's "calling it" that the beta release is what has been discussed for a day or so over on Reddit and by various other YouTubers.
When someone calls him out on it, his response is: "Too bad I was away playing Destiny 2 to watch if someone else made a video on it."
What a cock.

I'm hoping it helps Bungie balance the subclasses better than they did in D1

If they do not support HDR, I would be very disappointed.
Nah no way they don't support it, sony would almost demand it at this point.

So whats the damn secret to getting the new raid shaders to drop? I haven't been able to get a single one to drop since the 390 raids hit.
