RIPPA Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 They also said they will be revealing more details about the next raid next week (aka which D1 Raid is being brought forward) Betting favorite is still King's Fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) God, I hope not, but Bungie loves grind and King's Road takes for-fucking-ever. Between the raid and finishing Touch of Malice, I lived on the Leviathan for nearly eight months. I miss the days where you could run Crota in like two hours and be done with it.

RIPPA Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 It could technically be any of them but King's Fall is the one that probably makes the most sense narratively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 Oh I know it isn't the reason - but IF they wanted a reason, it is the one that fits best But yeah - there is still a large section of the community that is all DESTINY IS BETTER THAN D2! BRING EVERYTHING BACK!!! Of course the irony is that most of them could still be playing the OG Destiny, they just choose not to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 As a reminder that technology is always monitoring us and will kill us all. This morning in my Youtube Recommendations - part of Datto's Raid Guide for King's Fall Literally the only place I have mentioned King's Fall is here (I mean I am pretty sure I know why it showed up but I am not dumb enough to rule out Black Mirror shit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just happen to still like some of the old shit, and refurbishing said shit for D2 gives Bungie more time for the major expansions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 The returning Raid will launch on Aug 26 They are doing it the same way as they did Vault of Glass Need to beat the raid once and then beat all the challenges Contest Mode for 24 hours with 1560 Power Cap EDIT - the official reveal of the raid will be during the Showcase on August 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 Also from the TWAB - starting with Season 18, a quasi skill based matchmaking is coming to Control (basically they say it will be a wider pool that what you currently get in Survival) SBMM will expand to some (but not all) modes afterwards They also (starting in Season 19) start using some sort of system of matching based on fireteam size but there was almost no details about that. It sorta sound like there will be some playlists where you have to be in a fireteam to enter. The one thing they said is that they are trying to replicate the Freelance playlist without splitting the population Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 They are calling it all Loose SBMM. I'm happy to see it return in some form. The whole splitting the player base complaint is such bs that is basically pushed by the higher tier PvP players who want easy wins at least half the time. They are not wrong in that it does split the population, but its also kind of the exact damn point. Lower skilled players shouldn't be forced to match up against guys and gals who will fucking slaughter them with ease 99/100 times so often. Its a moronic complaint that should be ignored on some level, but Bungie wants to keep those higher tier players who are regulars happy to some extent since they represent the PvP player base.

RIPPA Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 Per new TWAB Rift will return as regular Crucible playlist next season but it will not be the IB game mode (they didn't announce the exact IB mode for next season) New game mode - Eruption "Eruption is Clash with energy boosts based on kill streaks. It was affectionately called Streak Mayhem internally before we gave it a real name." The Eruption part comes from if you get 5 kills in a row (what they called Primed), you get a 15 second timer and at the end of timer you blow up. You are then marked and the opposing team gets 3 points for killing you (its unclear if that is for the rest of the match or not) Eruption will be introduced in Control Labs and assuming it doesn't break things, it will the IB mode later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 The community will hate it. They will not like a game mode that appears to penalize you for getting killstreaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 Just now, J.T. said: The community will hate it. They will not like a game mode that appears to penalize you for getting killstreaks. You can extend the streak by getting more kills so technically you would never blow up You also earn more points the higher your streak is (there were a lot of more things that I didn't post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case, then they will love it because it encourages you to get killstreaks and rewards the player that brings the killstreaker down. Edited August 4, 2022 by J.T.

Eivion Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I'm surprisingly closer to the Conqueror title than expected. Apparently I just need to run a GM on arc, but I am definitely not bothering with that shit until next season with 3.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 Since I finished the Solstice stuff on my Warlock and I not bringing my Hunter forward to try and complete everything in 48 hours I am just in killing time mode. Being doing the rest of the Shadowkeep story on my Warlock since, as mentioned, I hadn't finished it. I am mainly doing it just to unlock the Dreambane armor. Lord there are so many places that we used to go to all the time that are never touched now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I still have two more solstice things to do to finish up the glow for armors. I think any area that isn't recently story based is mostly only touched now when something like a lost sector or seasonal bounty comes into play. The only stuff I might see people at in decent numbers at random times are things like Altars of Sorrow and Blind Well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 I mean I guess people might still being doing Nightmare Hunts - I sure am not but they at least take you to these areas for the Moon I am in now. Heck, I am only currently going to Europa because they just dropped a seasonal challenge for doing Europa activities (that is another thing I still need to do with my Warlock - all the stuff around Clovis Bray). Now to be fair - they also eliminated the weekly rewards from Variks and Elise so its just another planet now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
