Destiny 2

The whole soundtrack dropped on streaming services earlier apparently. Hopefully servers are somewhat stable by the time I settle down to play later this evening.

Or maybe I'll just play some horizon instead like a sensible person and wait until the weekend.

First mission was fine at 1350. It was a banger of a mission too. Servers have been fine too, shaping up very nicely.

That was fun. Glad it gave me the 101 on the Hive too.

I HIGHLY recommend doing the new campaign on legend. it's excellent so far

OK, that was not near the end of the mission at all. Quite meaty missions, I like it.

Legendary missions aren't playing around. They remind me of the old Solstice missions in Y1, perhaps a little less annoying (no match game so far). But it seems they get worse: the first two missions capped me at 1350 against a mission level of 1360, and the third one capped me at 1355 against a recommended level of 1370. We gonna get in Grandmaster territory by the final mission? Shame I couldn't finish it because a weasel error kicked me out.

I wish I had more time to get into the surrounding stuff. As it goes, I really can't be bothered with the grind. It will be enough if I can finish the campaign before I have to move out.

That said, I ended up splurging a little on a laptop with a GTX 1650 (it was basically the cheapest gaming-level laptop around), maybe that will let me play a bit in the next months too. If time allows.

Fucking electro-moths, man

DMT is pretty damn fun! Need to dig my subsistence roll out next for the lols on casual campaign mode.

Loving this from a lore perspective up to now. Curtain is finally being pulled back in certain areas more and more.

Is it just me or have they fixed the hdr and improved the graphics in this?

It all looks a lot better and sharper however I may have just made that up

Am I OK to... use an Upgrade Module to bump up my 'old' armour with good stats with 'new' powerful armour with shitty stats? Or should I be saving these until I hit the power cap?

Unless I've missed something obvious they've announced I'd bin the stuff with poor stats to upgrade your current gear.

I usually only start looking at a piece seriously if it has a base of 62 and half decent recovery.

It does absolutely vomit higher level gear at you though so be careful not to throw upgrade modules at everything if you're in fear of running out of them. Keep the piece you were going to trash in your inventory and before long that will work to have something drop that's even higher to use.

Had a quick go last night with the boy and it seemed great to us! We stuck it on Legendary, but it already seemed quite tough so hopefully we won't get too overwhelmed by it.

Need to get my head around the new void system, might take a look at that at lunchtime. Any tips?

Playing on legendary gives you lots of upgrade modules during a mission, so that helps too.

That said, it looks like I might have to grind other activities a bit. Already at the fourth mission, my power level is not enough to tackle it.
