DecemberReview: Destiny 2: Beyond Light
Thanks to a recent Bungie blog post , players received confirmation that plenty of new items will be incorporated into the loot pool in early July. This follows immediately after the next week of Iron Banner, taking place from June 29 to July 6. In addition to the Moon weapons, the blog post also confirmed that the remaining Dreaming City weapons will be returning to the loot p
Once the Templar spawns it will immediately begin to summon the Oracles. All six Guardians will die if the Oracles are not defeated quickly enough and in order, resulting in a team wipe and a restart of the encounter. The Templar will also detain a couple of Guardians, surrounding them in an impenetrable field that can only be destroyed by Guardian outside of
Additionally, while inside the portal the three Guardians are Marked by the Void. Their screens will slowly turn black unless cleansed by the Relic holder's shield. They will die if this is not done, and the team will be wi
Nine Cat Statues are spread across the Dreaming City. Giving one of these statues a "Small Gift" will grant a Dreaming City item before despawning. Much like Corrupted Eggs, these cats are account locked and will not resp
Beyond Light's story ends up somewhat superfluous, with the campaign falling into familiar destiny 2 edge of fate Expansion storytelling problems. Eramis could have been an interesting villain had the campaign built more empathy towards her. In the end, she's just another generic, mustache-twirling Destiny villain. Beyond Light's campaign boils down to defeating her lieutenants and defeating her, similar to what we already did in Forsaken , except a lot fewer lieutenants and personality. Less interesting describes other elements of the story. After a six-year absence, the Exo-Stranger finally returns, but anything interesting we learn about her lies outside the main campaign. Drifter and Eris Morn are also along for the ride, but ultimately, their presence is negligible. Rather than being active members in the campaign, they're mostly used as set decoration you can interact with every now and again. It also doesn't help just how short the story is, lasting 5-6 hours depending on how fast you can get quality gear. The quest to destroy Eramis doesn't do much to get players invested, but it also doesn't overstay its welcome. It also helps that Bungie learned from Shadowkeep's campaign by cutting out the grinding missions, instead focusing more on narrative missions. It makes for a more entertaining romp than Shadowkeep.
To get those CWL stacks, Guardians slot a Taking Charge mod into their armor and pick up Orbs of Power, which they can generate with multikills from a Masterworked weapon or by other Guardians. Moreover, the Firepower mod restores a chunk of grenade ability energy upon use, and the Distribution mod restores all abilities’ energy when dodg
What is interesting lies outside the campaign when Europa properly opens up. The mysterious moon of Jupiter holds many secrets within the Clovis Bray facilities and discovering what the infamous Golden Age scientist was up to leads to genuine fantastic revelations that manage to push the story of Destiny further. All the intrigue and interesting lore bits surrounding Clovis Bray might have ultimately made for a better campaign than what Beyond Light does offer. Outside of its use in the story, Europa functions like any other patrol zone. Players load in, fly their Sparrows around, participate in Public Events, loot some Lost Sectors and complete quests. Europa distinguishes itself from other locales with its random snowstorms, that while impressive the first few times, get old the more you play. The Bray facilities' glossy white internals are unique enough compared to other locations, but wandering around Europa doesn't feel any different from any other location.
One teammate should be designated as the Relic holder. That player can use the Relic to attack enemies, jump and aim down sight to slam the Relic down, block to create a shield around the user and allies, and the user's Super is replaced with a projectile that shoots from the Relic its
Combined, these mods mean grenades have a negligible cooldown and that Golden Gun super can be regained in less than 45 seconds. Plenty of time to use two or three times on Taniks if he is not defeated in less than three phases. Naturally, the build is not worth using without Celestial Nighthawk for that massive precision hit, but once acquired, it is devastating in boss fig
Sword & Board, _ as reported by _Dicebreaker , is a hack of a small, freeform, Star Trek -inspired RPG called Lasers & Feelings _ , __ in which the two primary character attributes are "Lasers" and "Feelings." As a dark fantasy RPG explicitly modeled on FromSoftware's _Dark Souls trilogy , the two main attributes of Sword & Board _ characters are "Sword," the ability to inflict destruction and violence, and "Board," the ability to shield oneself and avoid harm. One unique touch of _Sword & Board _ is the randomized dice tables in its ruleset, which allow players to randomly generate narrative goals, discover loot for their PCs, and create Boss enemies with the overly dramatic titles _Dark Souls bosses are famed
