Well, bagging might be less common (still there though)...but emotes, especially dancing/taunting emotes (like that odd "chicken" dance Marko mentioned) have kind of taken it's place.
I mean for me, I've been danced on much more often than I've been bagged.

I have been T-bagged, but it has been really rare, even in trials. I got bagged in my second game of Trials in D2. I guess I made the person sweat for my kill because it took him four shotgun shots and a Stormtrance to kill me. While he or she might have done it because I didn't push around the corner I was waiting for confirmation from teammates if my opponent had a Super but it fell on deaf ears. I couldn't tell because I was previously fleeing and trying to find an engagement to tip the favour on my side while waiting for my health to regenerate (I didn't know how to eat a grenade with Devour back then) as I had defeated one opponent and got the other to a sliver of health by myself. Yes, such amazing play to scrape a 1v2 having four shotgun shots and a Super against someone without heavy and a Super who might as well be deaf because my then teammates don't appreciate how much communication and teamshots eliminates individual gunskill and positional sense. And people wonder why I don't seem interested in Trials. I had enough sweat fests carrying randoms in IB in D1.

I’ll keep logging in to do my milestones until I get a 300/305 helmet to cap me out, but otherwise I’m done with this game. I don’t care if Jesus Christ, Buddha, and Obi Wan Kenobi fly in from outer space on the fucking Millennium Falcon just to tell me Destiny 3 is the best game ever, I’m never purchasing another fucking Bungie game again.

Given that old Ben Kenobi is an actual space wizard, i would trust his take on Destiny 3

See you when the DLC drops I didn’t come back for Destiny 1 DLC, why would I come back for it in Destiny 2? I didn’t even want to buy this game, but I got talked into it. I won’t get fooled again.

So...anyone still getting this for PC? Launch today! I'm pretty sure Pegasus Actual was. And it should mark the return of Fatso and Protoss to the Destiny world (even if it is a different universe than ours). I've been waffling on it, but not jumping in on day 1. I'll have to think about it some more. I still need a new graphics card...

I was too lazy to try to cancel my pre-order. In for game plus season pass. On Xbox it was just the game impulse purchase style. Not sure how much I'm going to play today... I'm in a very bad spot with sleep at the moment. I mean it's morning here. But I didn't sleep at night. So that leaves "soon" as my time to sleep. Which is also when D2 launches. Sad!
Going forward if they make the game better. Which I have to assume they will. At some point. Eventually. Maybe Fall 2018. But it should get t here. Anyway, going forward I'll be all PC I think. I'm still down for an Xbox Raid for achievement purposes. Though I think the Crucible achievements on Xbox will have to be sacrificed because I'm not doing that shit. Maybe I'll give PC Crucible a try at some point. Competitive 30fps makes me want to kill myself. But I think Destiny PVP gameplay in general also makes me want to kill myself. So I'll discover how much self-killing comes from column A, and how much comes from column B.

Heh. My download got interrupted overnight apparently so I've got 2/3s of the damn thing left to go, which given the load being placed on those servers now I imagine may take a while. Meant to check it this morning but forgot. Oh well. I guess that prevented me from spending my whole lunch break staring at a login screen so that's a plus.

A couple of restarts sorted it out. Boy stumbling around MW1 Nuke style for the fourth time is... just as unexciting as the first. It seems to have remembered my key bindings from the beta... but oddly not my sensitivity? Maybe they just saw my awesome keybinds and decided they needed to be the default.
Anyway game runs great. I still need to hook up my XIM and try the comedy show of aim assist. But need to nap first. And then some work. I'll add you from your posted info in the clan thread.

So why get Destiny on the PC? Is it that much better?
or it is all about using the XIM &/or mouse/keyboard?

But otherwise it’s the same game with the same shortcomings. I expect the PC wank will stop after about 2 weeks.

Why would it be better? 60 fps? Uncapped frame rate, much larger field of view, better graphics, superior aiming and turning precision with m&kb (although I'm just using an XBOX controller for now). It's still the same game with the same shortcomings, but it undoubtedly feels and plays a ton better on the PC, IMO.

So the already ghosttown on XB1 is suddenly going to get even more lonely with some of you moving to the PC?

Heh. XBOX will still be my main platform as long as THebb is there (assuming he's ever actually playing Destiny...hint hint). I'm already in for both DLCs there, but only bought the standalone game for PC. I can't speak for anybody else.

I’ve been watching PvP footage from the PC release, and TTK seems much faster. This is almost certainly due to aiming precision.

I don't see myself ever upgrading and doing the home PC gaming system ever again. Two systems is just to much effort and work.

I'm actually going to retract what I previously said. PC isn't the same game. There's no bloom on hand cannons when using m&kb (still exists with a controller though apparently), which means no ghost bullet BS, which means hand cannons are going to be top tier. Also apparently the Arcstrider super is fairly decent cuz it's kind of hard to shoot an Arcstrider who's dodging around like a madman without any aim assist. Interesting.
