Destiny 2

[LowPolyOWG]

Soo, Bungie launched the D2 beta this week. After a helpful tip from

from r/DestinyTheGame

to add D2 as a non-Steam game, I could take some screenies It only includes access to two PvP modes and a Strike. Performance wise = Stable 60-70 fps max settings on my rig, even thought it's a beta

There are 3 types of characters with their own unique abilities/attributes. My class is a Hunter. The other classes are Titans and Warlocks.

A mini-boss. Usually a high tier enemy, they are marked with golden health bars. Bullet spongy...

The main boss of a strike. Extremely bullet spongy and difficult to fight. Regular enemies spawns as well, so coordinate your team and yourself.

Respawning in a strike is restricted in certain areas. You need to wait 30 seconds to respawn or wait for a teammate to revive you. If you all die, restart on the last checkpoint.

When your team and you die...

When you defeat the bullet sponge, you earn loot and glimmer (in-game currency). Glimmer is disabled in beta. You can dismantle gear for glimmer or various other components to enchant gear etc in the full release.

Looks cool GKID! Really an interesting game 

[LowPolyOWG]

Indeed. Just need to hold off until 24th October



The netcode in D2

[Art Blade]

nice

[LowPolyOWG]

Yeah, it's an interesting solution, but dedicated servers are the best. Problem are locations, since there are many rural areas in the world with limited access to internet. Which means there are less people available to connect to a datacentre in a large city. In other words, it's not cost efficient for the publisher to buy unused servers.

[LowPolyOWG]

Definitely an improvement over its predecessor when it comes to story telling and patrolling aspect. Need to wait until the 24th October as a PC gamer

The official PC launch trailer. Turn on 1080p/60 for the fluidity

PC: "exclusively on Blizzard battle.net" -- uhm.. err... well. So many online gaming platforms. Steam, UBI*bleep*, MS, Blizzard.. great.

[LowPolyOWG]

Blizzard runs MMOs and it's directly tied to Activision, they are parent companies. With Destiny 2 being a MMO, it kind of makes sense. The WoW/Overwatch/Starcraft and HoTS community are a little divided. Some of them speculates if that means CoD will no longer be available on Steam in the future. Compared to Valve, Blizzard doesn't tolerate broken *bleep* on their store. Also, Activision don't have to pay Valve 30% of D2 sales either. The PC version was godly optimized during the beta. No bugs and I could run it at 60 fps/maxed settings, 1080p. Heck, 4K was possible on a steady-ish 30, maxed out on my Radeon RX 480
