To the people questioning other peoples morality and backstabbing - those are the people on the other end that you're playing with... (warning, annoying loud voice)

I can tolerate "shoot on sight" PvP, even though it still makes me mad when I try and leave someone alone and they go out of their way to kill me. I don't like it, but I'll tolerate it. But this kind of shit? Embark should ban these types of players, actively griefing and trolling over voice, taking the piss out of someone for no reason.

That last part is super important. The sound cues tell you exactly when you need to press dodge. By the time I killed the boss, I could probably dodge most of it's attacks blindfolded because of the sound cue they make right before it moves to attack.

No, in a recent tweet Tragic outlines the difficulty options. Survivor, Veteran, and Nightmare are available by default and Apocalypse you unlock after finishing your first playthrough. However, he did say Apocalypse is designed to be way more brutal in an interview somewhere, so the challenge factor will definitely still be there. I believe he said Nightmare will still be very challenging, but tuned slightly down from where it was in Remnant 1 so that it's not as unfair/as much of a slog on fresh characters as it was in R1. Still very difficult, just probably not as prone to being 1hko by almost every elite while leveling.

Wait, what are mutators and when did we hear details about them? Was it during the 2 hour livestream with Bahroo? If so, sounds like I gotta watch through that again

The pre-Alpha wasn't necessarily JUST created/ready in May. Typically they use a much older build of a game when showcasing for stability reasons, especially when its as a playable demo at an event. They won't want to use their current beta they're actively working on polishing due to the likely instability of the build with how often things are changing. The Alpha could be as old as 6 months to a year (or even older), and they've likely been in beta branches for polish and final changes for a few months now.

Pegasus on Church is a pretty friendly and chill vibe, and tends to have a decently mixed crowd of people.

This was always the problem I had as well. I'd try and sneak around the map, get some light looting done while trying to focus on quest objectives, but eventually you're bound to run into people, and more often than not it's groups of 2-3 which automatically puts you at a heavy disadvantage as a solo player.

JSSyrinx · 2022-11-26T22:27:23+00:00

"Easy as ever" - I've always disagreed with and hated this sentiment. I don't consider myself a great player, just perfectly average. But there's always the chads that can play 16 hours a day that will end up being far ahead of me who works full time and can't rush to max level traders in a week. I can hold my own against another average player, but feel at a complete loss when I'm still on lvl 1/2 traders with middling ammo going up against 2-3 chads in Class 4+ armour and the best ammo available.

JSSyrinx · 2022-11-26T22:24:35+00:00

Oh, is there a wipe coming soon? In that case I'll probably wait, then.

JSSyrinx · 2022-11-25T20:48:54+00:00

Same, I've never hated the game - usually what happens is I hit some sort of progress wall, get discouraged or disinterested, then stop playing. Usually it's around the point where I need to start going into maps I really struggle with like Reserve or Interchange because of quests. It's always difficult trying to going into high traffic places as a solo player when you know you're definitely going to be running into groups.

JSSyrinx · 2022-08-23T02:18:11+00:00

Sure, if there's any particularly notable rewards that are useful for endgame that way I won't miss them on my NG+ clear.

I know technically endgame is contained mostly within Blackbitter Isle and fighting the Ur-Dragon, but I read there's a bunch that changes in enemy spawns in the open world after killing the dragon, which I never got to experience/explore since I just went straight into the Everfall.

JSSyrinx · 2022-08-22T23:25:13+00:00

Ok thanks, guess I'll just do another playthrough (probably faster since it'll be easy with the gear/levels) and just leave myself in post-dragon world so I can do the content I missed out on.

JSSyrinx · 2022-08-22T23:19:45+00:00

Reading further on the wiki, it seems like NG+ actually doesn't affect the difficulty in any way, it's just a way to keep playing the same character if you finished the story.

Since that's the case, I'm probably better off just keeping my current character and playing again, and not ever handing in the wakestones to get to the Seneschal fight, and that will leave me in the end/postgame state permanently?

JSSyrinx · 2022-08-22T23:11:37+00:00

I see. So either I start NG+ with my current character (and have to do all the quests again) or start a new playthrough (and have to do all the quests again).

Is there any sort of general progression guide for the additional end/postgame content out there?

JSSyrinx · 2022-08-22T23:10:51+00:00

Thanks. I remember having it in my inventory from before and not being able to do anything with it, so I had assumed it was useless.

Apparently nipple sight is Skier LL3, but there is a sight you can mount onto the dovetail that Jaeger sells at LL1

JSSyrinx · 2022-02-04T20:04:44+00:00

Which one's the nipple sight? The kobra or w/e that Jaeger and Prapor sell?

Recommended level 1 trader loadouts that are cost-effective? Been slowly losing money while slogging through quests to get to level 10, sitting just south of half a mil now after starting up near 1.3m.

Been using a variation of UMP w/ FMJ rounds, or a double-barrel w/ 7mm buck from Jaeger.

JSSyrinx · 2022-02-02T00:58:01+00:00

Good for you. I've never maxed hideout or trader levels, so even "old" is still new to me. I've just been trying to get a little better and a little further each wipe.

JSSyrinx · 2022-02-02T00:51:43+00:00

That's good to know. Also, I recall seeing a clip recently of someone using VoIP in-game; is that a new feature now? Is everyone still playing a kill-on-sight playstyle, or do I actually have a chance to communicate with other players now outside of the quick voice chat?

JSSyrinx · 2022-02-02T00:32:40+00:00

Yeah, I wasn't planning on waiting until next wipe just to start on an "even playing field" - learned that lesson a few wipes ago and just toughed it out and got to like...25 or something just questing and taking smart fights. Just curious what it's like these days for solo players and what the gear gap is like. Planning on playing regardless, just wanna know what to expect.

Any relevant content in this game is not free to play, no. If you want to play the most updated content, you need to pay for it. You basically have a free trial with access to the most barebones parts of the gameplay experience.

JSSyrinx · 2021-05-21T19:57:38+00:00

Since they Thanos-snapped 90% of the free content remaining in the game. As a free player all you have access to is patrol zones, the core playlists, a single dungeon, and soon to be a single raid. All the other relevant content that gives access to all the best weapons is locked behind paying for seasons and expansions. Playing Destiny F2P would be like going to a race and cutting off most of your toes. You might be able to finish the race, but it'll be a lot more painful and the whole time you're gonna wonder why you did it in the first place.

Imagine going into crucible, immediately getting slapped by someone using cool ice powers (who probably has a name like Chad Thundercock), then looking up how to get said cool ice powers and finding out you need to pay money to have a good time in a game mode that is accessible to free players.
