So the already ghosttown on XB1 is suddenly going to get even more lonely with some of you moving to the PC? I do recall several of us telling you to buy a PS4 instead of XB1. Not that it would help you right now, as none of us are regularly playing D2 on the PS4.

That'll have a good run for 3-4 weeks.

That's what's happening. 10 maps only for base game,probably all SMG hip-fire fests.

That's what's happening. 10 maps only for base game,probably all SMG hip-fire fests. That's what early reports are saying. I was REALLY hoping we would see some different throwbacks to the old days. Like some wide open maps, like WaW's SeeLow. Or MW2's Wasteland. Or maybe a horribly unbalanced map for Dom, where map control became important again. Or maybe something like one of the best maps of all time, 'Interchange'. Various playstyles all being valid, and all being used. Instead, we are going to get all types of terrain formatted/bottlenecked into tight restricted corriders and lanes, ...heavily favored to smgs, just like you said. smg'fest.

CoD board is up a bit, gents. That being said, from what I can gather (i.e. the one YouTube vid I watched earlier) they’re going more of the MW:R route where you can get scrap or whatever and use it to craft stuff you want if you don’t get it to drop. So less stupid than only being able to get stuff directly from loot crates, but still fairly stupid.

For anyone wondering, here's a comparison of the field of view difference between console and PC. It's an enormous difference.

I guess nightstalker is also crap tier on PC. Since invis removes aim assist (not a thing) and with tweaking on the visual side the "invisibility" part could also be quite bad.
Honestly, I feel this game was obviously tweaked on pc. Console balance was an after thought. I am fine with that, as long as they apply some things they learned on PC to console.
Could hand cannons have been even more dominant on console without bloom than they are now on PC? I mean, there should be a reason they introduced bloom whenever aim assist was applied?
Honestly it makes kind of sense. Aim assist reduces the "skill factor", therefore weapons rewarding precision should be less rewarding with aim assist enabled? But why they introduced bloom instead of reducing damage or range baffles me. It just feels stupid. You don't know if it is lag or bloom or if you missed. There is no feedback. That sucks

Yeah, I think hand cannons are almost assuredly going to get readjusted on console based on the overwhelmingly positive reaction to how much better they feel on PC. Whether that means bloom is removed or toned down, or aim assist is reduced, or damage falloff happens quicker I don’t know, but I’d be really surprised if we don’t see something changed with the first seasonal sandbox tuning.

Looks awesome tbh.... too bad you'll get banned for running Winamp at the same time as D2 though.....

Pegasus Actual Are The Fatman and Protoss playing on PC? Will there be a viable group on that side? Do I really want to buy a new graphics card? These are all important questions.

Pr00toss seems to have a couple of characters going, his main one like power level 230 or so. No clue on the fat man. I think he is done with the horse. Is there a viable group? Probably not. Then again, is there one on Xbox?
Do you need a new video card? Well of course you do but hey they're your finances.

There would be viable groups if everyone asking whether there are viable groups stopped asking if there were viable groups and started playing the game again. Not that I blame anybody for not playing given the current state of the game, but me and Stone are the only Xboxers I ever see on anymore. 50,000 people used to live here, now it’s a ghost town.

Agree. There were 32 on the board in the last 24 hours, so some people are still signing onto this place. But in terms of Destiny 2 playing, it's getting bad. I looked at the clan stuff yesterday when I played in the evening, no one around. I realize there isn't much to play for in terms of PvE, and the Crucible isn't exactly the best FPS around as it has issues....but after checking out the Destiny Tracker stat section, with it's ELO system and all, there's a fun reason to keep playing. Group up, see how far one can get their ELO rating up!

In case PC gamers were wondering why they don't have social features in the game. Here is why....

I’m still paying D2 every night but, I guess, it’s because I have 3x toons @304. Once the weekly milestones are done, I’m struggling to keep at it. There’s a lot wrong with the endgame for sure. I don’t need to farm for god rolls- they don’t exist. I don’t see the need to farm for guns. I have what I like. There are some exotic armours I’m missing but they’ll come. I haven’t raided for the same old reasons as d1 and nightfall’s are dependant on who’s around in my daily window. As for lost sectors and strikes - why bother? I’m not even spending the hundreds of tokens I’m sitting on. There needs to be a big change before/with the incoming DLC.

I've only completed the raid twice, but I can't find any current reason to do it again. There are no rewards to be chased.

Personally:
I haven't done the raid yet, so that's motivation for me I still have 3 exotics that I haven't earned yet (Rat King, the grenade launcher and the scout rifle that shoots through shields)
TBH... I'm suffering from Siva-itis... where I'm max light in several setups, yet haven't touched the raid.
That being said, I might start raid PUGing again, like I did in KF... my in game 3 page friend list is down to 5 players (I did get rid of 20 whom I haven't interacted with in 6 months though)

It's a great feeling to finish. The above said, I don't think this raid is as good as the prior ones. Bad loot. No raid centric perks needed. And the Raid itself...it just doesn't have that epic feel of prior ones. It's also not as scary/spooky, with no build up and flow. Like the gauntlet thing, running around a wheel like a hamster, just doesnt' create that epic feel feeling.
