Destiny 2 - Place your bets on how many $40 DLC packs we'll get this time.

Are there any preservation efforts to play D2 offline privately? I've had it lying around forever at this point.

not really no, people barely cracked D1 but the wonder if it's pure spaghetti code or how the layering shit works.
also i just noticed that a good chunk of my inventory is useless now, lol.

I stopped playing D1 og with none of the dlc's, (i got traumatized with the barebones game), so that means if you buy the game rn, you're thrown into basically the last 2/3rds of the 2nd game and you can't understand none of the story up at that point without having to watch some fag on yt summarizing it in 2 hours?

Yes, they removed the first 4 campaigns from Destiny 2. They have an ingame storyline screen but it offers like 1-2 sentences summarizing every DLC and season. I haven't made new characters but from what I've heard it's really bad. It starts you out doing the original Destiny 1 first mission now that the original starting campaign was removed, and after that is done you're thrown into the tower with little direction. Destiny has a simlar problem to Warframe where it's got shitty player onboarding which makes it harder to get into.

What could go wrong with Bungie it was the future for soynys live service, no ones know...

dumb question, if this ends on sale for 90% on steam or some shit, you think its worth to play? would there be a good kiwi base to play this? i don't think this would be fun single player.

I’m going to just for old times. The new update does have me interested, but after like, a year? Nah. D1 has better bones and replay value. It may be console only, 75 FOV, and 30 fps, but it feels better in its MM mode than I think D2 will.

lol no.
i just went back to check my shit again and the game desperately wants me to waste dosh on it, lol no get fucked faggots, i also need to check the game with my epic account as well because of the "free" anniversary pack they gave in there.

there is this weird thing going on with my D2 that the fps counter says 60fps but the gameplay seems to be on 15-25 frames out of nowhere

although on cinematics the count is at 30 fps no matter.

i guess it's related to asset streaming? my vsync is off but my frame limiter is at 60fps because ultra settings and all with a RadeonVII, altough i disabled film grain and blur, fuck that shit.

'dit
did all of the promotional dungeon and shieet, didn't even get my armor piece and got slapped with the pay up to play shit

lol no, get fucked bungie, eat shit and die.

i don't get what's with epic, i copied all of my steam files to epic install location and the fucking launcher straight up deleted the 100GB's of files to redownload it, like what the fuck timmy tencent? it's the same fucking game.

both of these items were sunsetted a long time ago when i stopped playing/carin

Exotics were not sunsetted, you mixing it with Destiny 1.

Datto's first video after the unsunsetting announcement was pretty much a minor meltdown about all of the vault cleaning videos he did

I believe he said that he is not going to apologize after destroying countless legacy guns since most of them were powercrept years ago. Which is true since adding tier loot, crafting, enchanted and innate perks etc. which is basically their way of hidden and soft sunsetting.

I had weird tism around the Vault as well. Not sure why, but I kept all high-stats Battlepass armor which like 50-60 items across 3 characters and never deleted them even though I never used them.

Are there any preservation efforts to play D2 offline privately? I've had it lying around forever at this point.

When Warhammer Online shut down, some people managed to make server emulator for very short period of the time which resulted in the Return of Reckoning private server. Maybe Destiny 2 is different, but there is small hope that someone would make server emulator and maybe even for older clients (pre-Beyond Light). I believe it is slow and boring process, but maybe with AI could be done in the faster way.

If you have group of friends and price is not big for you then it is worth for dungeons/raids. Dungeons are for group of 3 players (could be done solo, there are special emblems for doing it) and raids are for 6 player group (I think most encounters could be done with 4-5 players, some could be done even solo although it is super hardcore content). If you are not sure one dungeon and 3 raids are free, IMO for 0 dollars it is perfect content although you have to gear up a bit so have to interact with main game.

I would recommend to go through raids/dungeons without guides (unless you stuck) if you are going to play with friends. Most of them not super convoluted and figuring out the mechanics could be fun.

Exotic missions are quite good as well.
