>taking a screenshot on PC
That's a banning.

So I'm a few hours in and want to know: when does the game gets bad? I'm pretty casual so maybe my standards are too low, but this game is fun so far and the biggest contributor to that is how good all the weapons feel and sound when shooting. I replayed Borderlands 2 before this and the difference is night and day when it comes to the technical side of gun play.

Anyone else having trouble with crashing? I'm on a nvidia card and every 40 minutes or so my game just locks up and i have to restart my computer to interact with anything

What specific card? My old 670 is still going strong even with Destiny 2 at a mix of high and medium settings.

give it a week

You know whats funny? The fact that most active players probably probably have 3 characters and we have so many purple damn mods means whatever the DLC is, people will hit the ceiling even faster causing more outrage

Hundreds to thousands of people with bans for no reasons or AMD chips that can't play the game, and no response from Bungie at all. Is this normal for Bungie to just clamp up and not say a word?

What processor do you have?
Some AMD ones are busted af.

Guy please, the last thread was pretty toxic. Lets keep the toxicity down for this one.

Is there a size limit to clans?

It's only 6:30 in the morning for Bungie. Let them get their coffee and supplements before they start working, please. Thank you.

GTX 980

it drops off when you finish the incredibly ahort campaign
the endgame is nearly nonexistent and there's no real incentive to do anything but weekly activities
it's perfect if you're the kind of person that just comes home and plays for an hour or so though

What tree should I spec into for voidwalker? Devour or chaos? Which one is better

intel core i5-4690k

Would you, /dg/?

100 people.

These problems started midday yesterday. They could at least acknowledge the problem.

ENTITLED! TOXIC!

No. I'd rather gobble ten cocks.

--The Five Stages of Grief--
Denial - "NOT SO FAST! This account has been banned."
"Wait? Is this some silly login error? How could I been banned? I wasn't hacking or gaining any unfair advantage (besides having a balla rig ;D).
*restarts Battle.net and tries logging in again*
"NOT SO FAST! This account has been banned."
Anger - What?! No! How is this happening right now? Destiny has been my favorite game since the D1 Alpha! I took off work for Destiny 2! I drove out of town for a D2 gaming party! How could this possibly be happening?! Ahhh!
Bargaining - Bungie! Please un-ban us! There's been a mistake! I'll do anything you ask. I'll buy all the Silvers! I'll pay for two copies of the game! Just un-ban me! Please! D;
Depression - It's been 6 hours.. All my friends are level 12 and tearing up the Crucible.. I've used up one of my off days for work.. Am I truly permanently banned? Along with all these other people.. Should I buy a 2nd copy of Destiny in hopes I can get refunded $110? But that means I would lose my BETA participation perks and Preorder bonuses.. Wow.. this really blows. What even is Life....
Acceptance I guess I'm banned. Bungie hasn't responded to people banned since the beta. Forum mods are saying all bans are permanent and that Bungie does not discuss bans under any circumstances. Time to start over on a 2nd game and hope my other account will be un-banned soon.

It is definitely not just you, don't worry. I was complaining about it in a previous thread. Considered overheating as a cause but a long time ago I realized it couldn't be because it could work fine on a blazing hot day and crash constantly on a cool night. Then it disappears for a long, long time until one day the video driver stops working again.

It has to be some weird driver problem which only affects certain parts combinations on certain games at certain times, and they all mysteriously go away after a while.

Also a 670 but not in the best condition nowadays. Crashing only a few minutes into the game or even cutscenes, so gave up yesterday and only going to try again in a short while.

Why? Seriously why? Will they be punished if they don't?

PORN WHEN?

The game has been out for less than 24 hours, and this is bungie. What are you expecting.
Brace for them high-fiving themselves on an awesome PC launch in the TWAB as well. Maybe they'll drop a word about all the issues in some le funny interview with deej's bro "literal who tech guy".

this is the only thing i cared about with the pc release

How does anything I say entail that I think they should be punished? Is it so wrong to want them to at least say it's being looked at at least? If you drop your car off to be worked on, you wouldn't be okay with the mechanic just letting it sit around and not telling you what's being done with it, would you?

>high-fiving themselves on an awesome PC launch in the TWAB as well.
wew boi i’m already laughing

I haven't played a Bungie game since Halo 3, and this is not the same Bungie that made that game so I really don't know what to expect from them. That's why I'm asking you fine folk.

No i'm trying to make a point. This fanbase is so garbage and cuck'd, and sites like Kotaku are so in their pocket that they won't get shit on for doing this and ignoring consumers.

So I want to just do campaign missions and avoid the side quests so I can reach 20 fast and go back and get higher end rewards?

Buddy also mentioned I would want to make my other 2 characters and get them to 20 asap as well. Any reason why?

>and get higher end rewards?
LOL. Laugh at him everyone.

No clue, strange he would suggest you to do that

Oh alright. So let me tell you how this pans out
>bungie twitter: we know there's some issues we're working on it
>nothing until thursday's This Week At Bungie
>TWAB: Hey gguardians we've had a great start
>thanks for the overwhelming interest in PC blah blah
>I love cozmo let's have cozmo talk about some shit no one cares about
>so despite an overall good start, there were some minimal hiccups, lets talk to this literal who
>"uhh things didn't go perfect we're trying to fix it"
>awesome. stay frosty guardians, deej out
*meme of the week video playing*
And then Xur kicks in your door and starts shoving campaign exotics and dupes down your throat.

the only thing you want to hold off doing is exotic quests and the powerful gear shit
everything else is free game

Once you're 265, milestones and exotic quests are your only way to increase power, and they're limited each week. Since max light and thus possible drop level is shared across characters, you want to do those on all of your chars.

I would like to place an alpha team raid carry for this Friday please.

I don't think people get the gravity of the situation regarding problem cunts like this. As someone who used to work as a gaming dev but switched because it's unforgiving work, these cunts are everywhere and have way too much power regarding game development and will make dev's lives a nightmare just to avoid doing toxic things. Like reading up on this cunt, she will probably force the devs to fuck around with their match making algorithm to get around single queues fighting groups and probably break shit badly instead of letting everyone talk by default which is an easy fix. The other problem is these cunts NEVER got fired. That Bioware office went under thanks to cunts like her and they would rather fold then risk shitting on their diversity. Gaming is going to get a lot worse I suggest you all get a new fucking hobby. Start learning how to survive innawoods and take up bee keeping thats what I have been doing fuck video games.

Devour makes you nigh unkillable in pve, and is pretty fun being a melee class. I use a kinetic AR for some range to deal with troublesome enemies, then I close the gap and use SMGs or sidearms and shotguns with melee.

I-I did it bros
after being stuck at level 304 for a month the gods have finally given me 300 arms from call to arms
Im free...I can finally stop ;_;

I will admit, the adventures are a lot better done than patrols were in D1, at least there is some story beyond "Go. Hunt. Kill skulls." And lost sectors are a nice little diversion. 17 now, haven't been to Io yet.

Are there any open Veeky Forums clans for PC?

Hey guys I haven't played the first game. But I like loot based first person shooters. Is this game worth the $$

Anyone up for nightfall on pc?

That sounds great. Guess I will wait till the weekend to refund if nothing happens.

>I can stop now
Good news for you, Guardian! The PC version just released yesterday, why not try it and see how you like our customization details?

Should I collect all the region chests and kill all the elites before I go to Titan?

>Devour makes you nigh unkillable in pve
This doesn't work in nightfall or the raid though

I was freed from the scourge of PC gaming when a power surge nuked my hard drive
since 2014 Ive been using a laptop I got for $150 at walmart. Screen isn't even 720p and it can't stream any faster than 30fps

Anybody down for Nightfall on ps4?

So I ran beta on my pc (AMD Athlon processor) and now when loading in it just crashes my game.

Time to get onto blizzard for a refund or any word of them looking to change this?

same here
finally fucking got 300 arms to get 305 on my last character
it kind of upset me though since i just gave up and then logged in randomly to collect my clan engrams and got it after so long
fuck rng

>any word of them looking to change this?
no, your CPU lacks required instructions

sure I guess so

what actually gets you banned on pc

Well that's lame as fuck. I wonder what the logic behind that is, it ran fine for me in beta.

Oh well hopefully they'll take pity and refund

>blizzard returning their shekels

buying the game

Just bought the game and played all day with my friends yesterday. Hit level 20. Now what do I do?

thank goodness for smart loot™

now you play the real game that is getting to 265 and then 300

After launch they said that the FX series is not just the power requirement but some functionality earlier AMDs don't have. So even if you OCd your Processor to be better than the FX 4350 they set as minimum, you're fucked. Get a refund, because chances are they ain't fixing this.

I got a refund on my months old pre-order. Just tell them you're using a CPU that ran the beta but can't run the game, so a Athlon or Phenom. I'd do it fast, because maybe they'll stop handing those refunds out. They already addressed the issue by saying "it's an issue with processors not having SSSE3 that we'll look into", but already stating that those are below minimum requirements. Despite not having stated a SSSE3 requirement beforehand and having the game run without it during beta.

>i7 processors that are a bit above the minimum req for D2
>Everything else is at the minimum
>Game crashes on launch every time

What the fuck

>tfw no Veeky Forums clan open due to all of them being full

I have 100% on my subclass relic but I cannot go to the shard, wtf is up with that?

Is Nameless Midnight any good?

Is there any reason to use the sentinels supressor grenade in PvE?

Yes, one of the best scout rifles in game at the moment.

if you can't use mida because your exotic is something else, you use that one

Yeah I'll do it asap. I was skeptical my rig would run it anyway but having the system requirements go from playable to unusable since the beta is really unusual

Best scout for PVE. For PVP if you aren't using MIDA, then you should be using the Pleb Corrector.

NM is a good choice for PvP as well though.

What are the best grenades for warlocks?

I’m not mad, just disappointed.

How could they not learn from Destiny 1’S mistakes?

Daily reminder that you're playing a garbage-tier, dumbed down, casual as fuck version of a once great game (Destiny 1).

You morons are the literal definition of the word cucked.

>join clan
>game is laggy and the list of players never loads

hmmm??

Reddit got a high thread advicing to not pick abilities Six-Shooter on Gunslinger, Quiver on Nightstalker and Cataclysm on Voidwalker.
Are they really bad or is reddit just sperging out?
Are there other 'better-to-avoid' upgrades?

Come back to D1 with me and lets do Kings Fall Challenge Mode.

They are correct. Six shooter lowers your GG damage, Quiver stops you being an orb machine when using the orpheus rig exotic. Not sure about cataclysm

I think that's about it, desu I doubt people here have more knowledge than the average redditor. In fact judging how many screen grabs etc people keep posting from there I'd say the average person here IS the average redditor

Cata is fine for Voidwalker. It slows down your super and cuts its range, but if you're going top attunement the extra damage and projectiles are well worth it.You just have to blink at niggas before firing your load

>the fucking Cabal shield have BIG GLOWING WEAK POINTS on them now
I mean
Holy fuck. It was NOT hard to simply flank, or aim for the hand or feet. Despite this, in D1, I think I only ever saw one other person doing this in my whole playtime from vanilla to final expac. The rest of the brainlets would just repeatedly shoot at their shields in hopes that they would drop them while they were shooting. I fucking hate video games. People are so fucking stupid that it hurts.

What other casualizations have occurred?

pulse

Can't pick and choose perks for subclasses, it's all or nothing skill trees

>judging how many screen grabs etc
I just used ShareX to take a screenshot - used it out of force of habit, and now I'm a bit afraid to log back in to game and see if I'm banned.

Oh, wow. Fucking wow.

Buff to grenades other than pulse when

Can’t wait for them to try and backtrack in Destiny 3.
>w-a-we’re sorry for casualizing the game so much! Here, look, you can pick skills again! Look you actually need some skill to beat the raid again!
And then things that should be fucking givens are suddenly praised as WOW AMAZING, BASED BUNGIE
