Sure, let’s dive into the wonderful mess that is my headspace while trying to write about this Destiny 2 madness. Buckle up, because this ride is gonna get bumpy.
Alright, so. Destiny 2, right? They’ve got these raids… like The Desert Perpetual (what does that even mean, really?) which just launched—or did at some point—on July 19th at the crack of 10 a.m. PDT. And people were hyped. I mean, really hyped, teaming up with, well, anyone who’d have them, eager to face off against these terrifying bosses. But here’s the kicker: the whole "World First" race turned into a bit of a scandal. Picture it—70% of the teams were caught cheating. Seriously, 70%! Bungie (probably with a huge sigh) had to step in, acknowledge the chaos, and scrap a bunch of results.
This makes me think of a time my brother tried to cheat at Monopoly. He ended up flipping the board. Anyway—wait, where was I? Ah, yes—cheaters never win, right? So, now, things are settling, and folks might want to head back into The Desert Perpetual. Grab a buddy or some random internet friend and dive in, because why not?
So there’s this Redditor, StableSalto (amazing name if you ask me), who says a Twitch bot cluster is where it’s at for raid checkpoints. I can almost imagine it—a team of checkpoint sheriffs wrangling Twitch streams. You know, just a few names to follow: LuckBot9, D2Checkpoints, DestinyCheckpoints, and D2Chests. It’s all about queuing up, contacting players, and, I guess, hoping for the best.
There’s also this thing called LFG—Looking For Group. It’s like speed dating for gamers, where you may or may not find "the one." But fair warning, you might end up waiting if the game’s not buzzing with players.
Anyway, back to the juicy loot. Destiny 2’s raids drop some of the most coveted gear. They used to be the end-all, but now with The Final Shape out, players are chasing down Tier 5 armor. Grandmaster difficulty is the new black, apparently, with a required power level of a staggering 390. Meanwhile, limited-time events like Arms Week are around to help players gear up, and maybe not crumble to pieces in the next wild chase.
Oh, and there’s some artistic eye-candy—like album covers—from when Destiny 2 hit the scene back in, uh, 2017… August 28th, if we’re getting specific. Can you imagine all that time passed since then? Wild.
And hey, fun fact, they use something called the Tiger Engine. Makes me think of exotic cars or something. Anyway, that’s all I’ve got on that front. Now, go forth and create chaos in Destiny 2. Just maybe leave the cheating behind, alright?
