Must be a good player.
Good for him.
See that guys?

That's called being nice

Take Notes

blackout3477d ago

Wow, is this game really that easy? Come on Bungie.

ShowGun9013477d ago

haha! no its not, that things wiped my team alot of times... note the "incredibly skilled" part... seriously, 25 kills for a kem strike isn't easy, but ive seen people do it plenty, some people are just bad ass lol!

ICANPLAYGAMES23477d ago

That looked easy to you? Every time he is attack he only has 2-3 seconds to do damage and pick the relic back up before being insta-killed (though it must be nice not having to worry about other players, having to cleanse, and whatnot). Gotta admit that was pretty badass.

GetSomeLoGiK3477d ago

It seemed easy because it was only one person. It works the same way Monster Hunter works, the more people you have, the more difficult the enemies are.

kneon3477d ago

I can't comment on the raid as I've not done it, but just about every other mission is fairly easy once you find the safe spots where you can stand and pick off enemies without them really bothering you.

I've completed every mission and strike including nightfall strikes solo on the hardest levels. It's not that hard, just time consuming sometimes.

ITPython3476d ago

Have you done this weeks nightfall solo yet? I know of safe spots throughout the entire strike except the main boss, and I assume staying in the entrance doorway will spawn anti-cheat enemies right on top of you, but I haven't tried yet. The rest of the strike can be done with patience and a bit of time if you have the Ice Breaker.

Although the dang captains with the regenerating shields in the first part of the strike are pretty annoying trying to take down solo, as once you finally knock their shields down, they just teleport out of your view and regenerate again in a few seconds.

kneon3476d ago

I've not done it as a nightfall strike yet, but I have done it as a level 28 strike solo. When I did that there were no enemies coming from behind if you stayed at the door.

But I found a better spot was up the stairs on the right. There is some cover there and enemies never seem to come up, except for the occasional shank. You take more damage but you can deal more damage as well. The damage may be too severe to take on nightfall though.

Also I find a good fusion rifle seems to be the best weapon to take down Sepics Prime.

One does not simply walk into the Vault Of Glass, its corridors are an abomination, foul shadows of the fallen lurk deep in the dark, not with 10000 men would you make it alive.

Sorry off topic, too much LOTR for me, you get the point tho

vikingland13477d ago

You get a funny bubble from me.

"skilled player" aka player with nothing else to do in the real world and has all of the right gear that "non-skilled" players cant get unless they quit their jobs. I could embarrass this chump in the crucible.

Neonridr3477d ago

I am a father and husband, so I get to play Destiny all of like an hour a night if I try hard enough.

I am level 28.5 and have the equivalent gear as this guy does in the video.

I wouldn't say I am "skilled" - I can hold my own, I guess.

But anytime you want to post a video of you soloing the Templar on Hard by yourself in less time, I will gladly watch it.

averagejoe263477d ago

It's ok buddy you can just admit you're not that skilled... We won't judge

ThatOneGuyThere3477d ago

:-(

I just have a life-ish. I WISH i could play this game non-stop. I finally have all purple armor, and I've had this game since launch.

BuckyBarnes3477d ago

Find it hard to believe, where are all the other enemies that spawn? Sure wasn't that barren when I did the raid, even on normal, waaay more enemies than that.

ICANPLAYGAMES23477d ago

Of course there were more enemies, you probably had a full crew of 6.

vikingland13477d ago

The bigger your fire team is the harder/more enemies spawn.

BuckyBarnes3477d ago

Oh, didn't know that. Makes sense. Now I feel like a dumbtard.

one2thr3477d ago

Now I regret not buying the "Ice Breaker", thats what I get for trying to save my strange coins for that day'um Exotic auto rifle....

Phuck You Xur! lol

On topic- Now Im encouraged, to try this.

Neonridr3477d ago

Ice Breaker is nice because you never need to worry about ammo again. But it's respawn rate for bullets once you use all 6 is nothing to write home about.

I had a fully upgrdaded Queen's Rifle (Supremacy) that is fantastic. Once I finally get my Ice Breaker up in terms of damage upgrades I will be much happier with it. But right now it does nowhere near as much damage as my other one.

I always carry that one around still just in case I need the extra damage boost.

Booyah3477d ago

What about Praedyth's Revenge ? Is it good ? I didn't buy Ice breaker 'cause I got that sniper in the raid.

Neonridr3477d ago

I have no clue how good Praedyth's Revenge is, sorry.

Don't have it, so I can't comment. But if you got a sniper rifle in the raid, then you can be sure it's going to be pretty darn good too.

buttclown3477d ago (Edited 3477d ago )

The Ice Breaker is great in any of the pve content. I can't stand it when it comes to pvp though. I was happy when they started selling it for strange coins, I got lucky and found mine, because I knew that everyone would be able to deal more damage in the strikes/raid.

Edit: Didn't see the other comments, I have the raid sniper and the best perk of it is the precision kill causes an explosion. The other is that it deals more damage to oracles in the raid. Still like the ice breaker more right now

Rhaigun3477d ago

Praedyths Revenge is basically a reskinned Final Boss sniper with added Oracle damage. Its Not a bad sniper. It doesn't have the same punch as Icebreaker though. Also, the spontaneous combustion perk is just awesome.

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter330d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell329d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig330d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast330d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g330d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka330d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai481d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface480d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard478d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
