Destiny 2: Out with the New..In with the Old?

So I’ve been a hardcore Destiny fan since its release and I will be the first to tell you it works best in bursts.

Throughout the entire franchise Bungie had always done a poor job at the simpler aspects of communication. They promised things, that depending on your interpretation of their words, were very feasible or too ambitious. At best their words came across as nebulous to much of the diehard and casual community.

In D1, The Taken King brought new life into the game when it needed it most. Now in D2 it looks like we’ve hit the same point.

A lot of players, myself included, have been running on empty trying to care about the expansions D2 delivered in the first year. Curse of Osiris had much to be desired and I’ll finish Warmind when I have the time. But after spending so much time maxing 3 characters on 2 systems I really needed a reason to do so.

So let’s talk about FORSAKEN.

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN.

Quite literally we are going backwards and that’s a great thing. When D2 came out and the most devoted players had run out of content to actively do, the critiques and complaints started pouring in. If you lurked on the DestinytheGame subreddit you could see that most of the comments made comparisons to between D1 and D2 in regards to features, activities, and general quality of life changes to the franchise. Many players felt that D2 offered a more simplistic and streamlined experience in relation to D1, which left the hardcore players with little to do week after week. With Forsaken, Bungie is trying to take that criticism and run with it.

So what’s coming back? Over the course of the summer Bungie will be updating the game to reintroduce older modes and pother changes that all players (not just those who purchase Forsaken) will be able to take advantage of.

In general we can see that they will be tweaking some of the D2 systems to make them work better for players, while the roadmap doesn’t give us all the exact details. As of now the first two columns are already live, modifying players options in the Crucible, adding space to the Vault, and expanding the Masterwork system are probably the most notable changes there.

Between now and then with update 1.2.3, we will be getting 6v6 Quickplay and Permanent Rumble, two Crucible options that players have been asking for since the first couple months of the game. In addition to that we’ll be rounding out Year 1 with Prestige Raids and Triumphs, both returning systems from D1 and an event called Solstice of Heroes, which will probably be further detailed during Bungie’s E3 event.

In the final column we have a list of the smaller additions Forsaken will be bringing. Some of these changes we examined a little more deeply than others during Bungie’s ViDoc, so for now we are gonna stay focused on those.

The first guy on the list is Gear Collections. Separate from the Vault and the Tower Kiosks, the game will now allow you to track what Weapons, Armor, and Items you have obtained during your D2 tenure.

The categories tell you how many of the items you have collected, how many there are in total, and what you need to do in order to get the ones you’re missing.

Then with Exotics (maybe more but we’ll have to wait and see) you can purchase exotic items you have unlocked, but may have dismantled during your gameplay. With the exotics and you haven’t discovered the Collection will let you know if you have top complete a particular quest or objective in order to discover it.

Other additions that weren’t individually pictured, but are interesting nonetheless are Weapon Slot Changes, Weapon Randomization, and an update to the Mod System.

With the weapon slots, Bungie is looking to bridge the gap between new and old players.

D1′s weapon setup had 3 slots, Primary (Assault Rifles, Hand Cannons, Scout Rifles, Pulse Rifles), Secondary (Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, Fusion Rifles, Sidearms), and Heavy (Machine Guns, Rocket Launchers, Swords).

D2′s set was a tad different with their slots being Kinetic and Energy which shared all weapon types, with the exception of Grenade Launchers, Rocket Launchers, Swords, Trace Rifles, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, Fusion Rifles, and Linear Fusion Rifles. whew

Players felt that D2′s changes made players weaker all around, by sticking the game’s more powerful and situational weapon types into the weapon slot that would have the least amount of ammo drops and overall use.

With Forsaken, you can move weapons to any of the 3 slots you want, which means things are gonna get a whole lot crazier, but its gonna be a great ride for both PvE and PvP environments.

To add to that insanity, we’re getting back Radmon Rolls (Weapon Randomization), meaning that not every gun of the same make and model is identical. Bringing more of the Borderlands style of gun drops to the game. Some gun/perk combinations will work really well, some will be useless and do nothing, and others will (this is may personal favorite), will cause players to janky, different things with their loadouts

NEW STUFF INCOMING

So what do we have on the way?

New WEAPONS

New ENEMIES

New PLACES

New MODES

New RAID

NEW SUPERRRRRS

So considering this is our first look at all this content, there may not be too much to say at this point, but the visuals give us enough to be excited about.

So it’s no surprise that we’re getting new weapons, I mean that happens all the time right? But new weapon types? Not so much. But Bungie’s taking us back to 2013, when Bows were dominating the video game ecosystem.

So Bungie didn’t go into the specs of the Bow weapon type, but this is what we know or can infer right now:

Different Bows are designed for different types of engagements, most likely close range, midrange, and long distance.

Some bows have energy related abilities.

Time-to-Kill is balanced to make up for the act of drawing the bow.

Now Enemies. Because Bungie will be exploring more of the story during their E3 slot, we only know a bit about who were are gonna be fighting in Forsaken.

But if you guessed Fallen

YOU’D BE RIGHT

I bet you’re all wondering why I’ve gathered you here today.

So what they have said so far is that there has been a jail break at the Prison of Elders in The Reef, so it stands to reason that all the enemies we’ll be fighting are some topnotch Fallen.

We will be getting new Fallen enemy types and a sizeable number of Baron boss fights.

The major Barons are said to each operate in their own way, providing different types of engagements, instead of just a simply Kill List.

So where is all this going down? So obviously we’re going back to The Reef, the section of the Solar System that has appropriated the asteroid belt in Jovians (the Jupiter/Saturn area).

More specifically we have a new area to explore!

The Tangled Shore is a network of terrestrial platforms floating in the Reef, that are linked together through cables and wires. The idea itself is reminiscent of Fallen architecture, but I think it’s safe to assume the Awoken are responsible for its creation.

I would appear to be very open from the shots delivered in the ViDoc, but these could be imagine captured from cutscenes or early builds of the game that haven’t been populated. So there’s definitely more questions than answers here.

There is definitely an overwhelming Western theme in play here so maybe it just empty???

With the new Raid Bungie confirmed that there will be a new location that will house the Raid itself, which is slightly different than the previous raids, which were typically connected to the general overworld. How exactly they plan to section all that out has not been discussed, but I’m sure we’ll get more information on that moving forward.

The new raid is takes place in the Dreaming City. This is the birthplace of the Awoken, who are descendants of humans that escaped Earth’s orbit during the Collapse. As it stands we don’t have a real sense of the general timeline of those events, but it seem reasonable that the Dreaming City may provide some answers.

Bungie has said that the new raid with offer new puzzles to solve and mysteries to uncover. But that’s nothing new. What’s new: The raid will CHANGE. Bungie says that as people continue to play the raid, the environments will change so that over the course of weeks and months the raid will not be the same as it was when it premieres.

Definitely gets points for being pretty.

Time will tell what the scope of these alterations and changes will be. Players at least remember that the Infinite Garden from the Curse of Osiris expansion didn’t live up to the hype. Hopefully, the Dreaming City can.

So we’ve hit some PvE content, some PvP content, so now let’s talk about some content for PvEvP???

So at first glance this takes me back to Archon’s Forge from D1′s Rise of Iron expansion. Not surprisingly considering some of Bungie staff have looked to RoI for some inspiration, but we’ll get to that in a second.

For starters, Gambit is a mode for some PvE arena goodness. You kill enemies for motes of light which your team collects to deposit in your bank.

When you do that you end up sending a stronger enemy over to the opposing team’s arena. While that enemy is alive the other team will be unable to deposit motes, so you can gain a lead. After that you can fill up your bank, which summons an enemy for you and your team to take down, called a Primeval. Once you defeat it, you win the the round. Simple right?

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE!

You can also use motes to jump over to the other teams arena to kill their guardians or just generally prevent them from advancing. Bungie didn’t say what limitations there are in doing this, but I’d bet there’s a once per round limit.

Hmmmm? Is that everything? I felt like there was something I was really excited about, but after getting this far Ican’t seem to remember what...it...was...

OHYEAH

NEW SUPERS

But now I’m sad because I just remembered. Bungie didn’t show us too much on this front. But what they did say give us enough to work with I think.

So, first thing, these are not really new classes. Big difference there. And I really think what they’re doing here is more reasonable. They are creating new perk paths.

In D1, each class at a suite where you could choose what perks you wanted to pair together, but you were limited to one perk from each column (i.e. you couldn’t use two grenade type perks at the same time). The downside to that system was that you typically wouldn’t alter your perks much. At best you found the right combination for your playstyle and kinda left it at that. You couldn’t go full RPG and style your perks for different engagements as much as you might’ve wanted.

But in D2, the classes were steamlined as well. You choose from a jump type, grenade type, and melee type. Then you chose your path, which contained perks that would affect your playstyle. With a new super getting added to check class, it would be unreasonable for them to not introduce new perks, or a new path to augment it.

From what we’ve seen older supers look like they could have new abilities and new supers may be lifting parts from the super we lost going into D2. Gunslinger seems to be pairing its Throwing Knife mechanic with the old melee Super Bladedancer.

Warlocks seem to have a flashier teleport during Stormtrance and beam super not unlike what Moira from Overwatch has. And Titans get a Warhammer, which seems to blend together abilities from the new and old Sunbreaker.

GEEZ, that was more stuff than I thought to have before E3. But we got through it and I’m definitely excited to get back into one of my favorite game addictions!

the cafe is pretty quiet and the perfect place to study bc wow it’s so cozy and the coffee is so good!!!

also the barista is pretty cute but you’re too shy to actually approach him and yknow, hit him up

hoseok makes the most intricate latte art in your cup

they’re always either extremely cute or just straight up impressive

latte art designs range from cat to rainbow swan

when you get your coffee to go, he writes cute lil messages on it!!!

draws loads of :D and 6v6 in the messages

yoongi almost convinced him to write his number once

keyword: almost

when you come to the cafe, hoseok just lights up

when there aren’t any customers ordering drinks, he just looks at you from across the cafe

he thinks you with your studying face is extra adorable

and when you’re not studying, you stare at him too 👀👀👀

he just looks so cute n passionate :”))))

tbh yoongi has to deal with this staring back and forth and one day he almost screamed “for gOD’S SAKE JUST START DATING ALREADY”

but hoseok moved fast and he clapped his hand over yoongi’s mouth and dragged him off to the kitchen

once, you accidentally stayed past the cafe’s closing time because you were trying to get an assignment done and got carried away

you’re alone in the cafe with hoseok n yoongi

yoongi: perfect opportunity!!!!! go for it dude!!!!!! i’ll finish locking up!!! he’s been rooting for you secretly and needs you guys to actually get together before he loses his shit

hoseok puts down the rag he was cleaning with walks over to you

he taps you on the shoulder and you’re startled

you realise what time it is and start going sorrysorrysorrysorry as you scramble to pack up

“would you want to go out or something?? i mean you don’t want to it’s ok kjsjfjDHSHSJD”

he’s all blushy and shy??? honestly it’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen???

doesn’t help that he is wearing a christmas hat bc of christmas~~~~

you just get super flustered bc wow you just kind of embarrassed yourself

but also your coffeeshop crush asking you out??? h e l l y e s

so you two just stand there, both blushing messes

“uh yea sure!! and why would i not want to???”

but you guys go out for your date and it’s just a casual dinner followed by a stroll in the park

you end up at the gazebo and it’s all decorated for christmas with the pretty fairy lights hung on the pillars

hoseok looked so great with the soft glow of the lights casted on his face

“wow he looks so nice,” you thought

hoseok: jsjfjaKKFNA

wAIT DID U SAY THAT OUT LOUD I THINK U DID

“i- i think you look nice too”

tBH you guys just keep getting flustered around each other and can’t look the other person in the eye

it’s getting pretty late so hoseok offers to accompany you back home

as you walk back to your apartment together, he just slips his hand into yours

you just look over at him and he has the biggest smile plastered on his face

before he leaves, you give him a peck on the cheek

his face just turns beet red and he lets out a small “see you soon” and scurries off

#this is the first time i did a bullet point scenario #jdjwjrs i hope that it isn't too bad!!!!#txt: writing #j-hope #hoseok #bts #bts scenarios #bts imagines

D?as Update »Live Fire« für den Shooter Titanfall 2 lässt noch etwas auf sich warten. ?

Zum Thema Titanfall 2 ab 43,98 € bei Amazon.de Titanfall 2 für 54,99 € bei GamesPlanet.com Ursprünglich war geplant, dass das Update »Live Fire« für den Shooter Titanfall 2 noch im Verlauf des Februars 2017 erscheinen soll. Doch wir müssen uns wohl etwas länger gedulden.

Wie der Entwickler Respawn Entertainment jetzt auf der offiziellen Webseite bekannt gegeben hat, verzögert sich der Release noch etwas. Zwar gibt es auch weiterhin keinen konkreten Veröffentlichungstermin, doch immerhin hat das Team die vorläufigen Patch-Notes preisgegeben.

Kernstück des Updates ist der gleichnamige Spielmodus »Live Fire«. Bisher bekannten Informationen zufolge handelt es sich dabei um einen 6vs6-Piloten-Modus mit aufregenden Nahkämpfen an vorderster Front. Währen der Matches gibt es reichlich Zeitdruck: Nur eine Minute bleibt den Teams, um ihre Gegner zu besiegen und die Runde zu gewinnen.

If the maximum supersampled resolution exceeds 16K in either dimension (e.g. when running at Eyefinity/Surround resolutions), this option will be unavailable.

Added Very High to the Model Quality tiers.

General stability improvements.

Added Model Draw Distance to allow pushing draw distances further out.

Added description for Triple Buffered in the VSync description text.

In an effort to reduce hitches from texture streaming, the "Texture Quality" setting has been renamed to "Texture Streaming Budget" to more accurately reflect the setting's function, and the tiers have been renamed to indicate the VRAM amount needed. A warning has also been added when the game detects that the chosen tier uses more memory than currently detected. The goal is to only use about ~75-80% of the VRAM when the game is running to avoid GPU memory management hitches.

Spun D3D texture creates off onto a dedicated thread to avoid driver stalls and added throttling to the number of textures that are made live by the streaming system every frame. The throttling mechanism is simplistic and can be improved, but we want to get this out earlier to see if we're on the right track in reducing texture streaming stutter before investing more engineering effort. If you were previously experiencing stutter, please provide feedback on whether stuttering has noticeably improved after this patch.

Adaptive Resolution FPS Target is no longer capped by max monitor refresh rate and instead caps to maximum supported FPS (144).

Improve VRAM detection accuracy.

Improved SLI/Crossfire compatibility. Players are recommended to not use TSAA when running in multi-GPU mode because TSAA can negatively affect performance scaling.

Improved frame rate stutter detection tools.

Enabling adaptive resolution while VSync is set to Double Buffered should now reliably force VSync to Triple Buffered.

The game now prevents the screensaver/lock screen from coming up due to idling while the game is running.

Added additional info to rare startup error "Failed to CreateGameWindow. Resolution Unsupported?" and a speculative fix for it.

Fixed adaptive res FPS target incorrectly resetting to 60.

Fixed texture streaming being disabled on GPUs with < 2GB of detected VRAM.

Fixed the game crashing on startup if a user has AMD GPU drivers installed, but is no longer using an AMD GPU as the primary adapter.

Fixed memory leak experienced on Crossfire setups.

Fixed various UI scaling issues when running in Eyefinity/Surround ultrawide resolution.

Added text clarifying "Invite friends" functionality doesn't work while the Origin overlay is disabled.
