MetalCaveman Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Destiny on PC works for me. Fortnite too, though I hope the Switch supports USB headsets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 None of you have a standard phone headset with in-line mic? Any who downloading Destiny 2 atm, because turns out I own it on PS4. Also it's not a Battle.net thing anymore so I had to find out where it is now (it's on Steam). I can't remember if you can do the start as several people or play it through to a set point before joining up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you this was back in Season 1(?) or whenever it became free-to-play. My other headset is toast, and the phone ones I have have crappy audio and even worse mics.

deanb Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Cools. well I might be ready in time Also done the character transfer. Will be starting fresh but handy to shunt things over. What voice chat people want to use? (I haven't voice chatted on PC in a long while and all my recent stuff has been MS Teams or Google Meets which are highly inappropriate gaming platforms). I guess there's always Discord. I know there's the PXoD chat, which in retrospect I should have been into these past few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Discord could work, doesn't Steam also have something built-in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 The game has built-in voice for your party, or we could make a Steam chat. Discord could be good too though, so other people can hop in even if they're not playing the game. I *think* my headset will let me use the Switch properly, I've just never actually tried it. I know it works with Xbox and PS4 for the chat audio, but on both of those the chat audio is separate from the game audio, I've never actually used it on something where it's all one plug like the Switch.

I think with the new F2P version you can join others immediately, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Well shit, if all y'all are gonna jump on the F2P version of Destiny 2, I might as well. Still a little sour that expansions can't transfer unless you had the Battle.net version. (Though you would have had to done that before Oct. 1).

MetalCaveman Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 How many people can a fireteam have? I remember being capped at 3, don't know if they've changed that since. Side note, how was my mic audio? First time using the headset mic, usually have a separate one, but it gets in the way with my current setup.

TheMightyEthan Posted April 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Mic quality was fine, it was a little quiet but I was able to fix that by upping your volume. As far as fireteams, I believe it's 6 except for strikes which are 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalCaveman Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Something that I kinda overlooked, sorry about that, is classes, I only have a Titan, but can start a new whatever if others want to play Titan. Anyone got any favourite class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Unless you're doing a Raid, it doesn't hurt to have multiple Titans (or Warlocks and Hunters) on a Fireteam. Play whatever feels right (and fun) for you. Sure variety is the spice of life, but doing a Striker with 3 Striker Titans can be a blast.

deanb Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 I now have one of each (there's three slots so might as well). My main is a Warlock cos..well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 I did that in the original Destiny, but in 2 I just want interested in running through all the stuff to level all the different characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Dean and I are gonna play at 7:30 UK, 1:30 Central, 3 hours from when I'm posting this. @MetalCaveman & @CorgiShinobi, you guys and whoever else wants to join are welcome to. We've been using the discord for voice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 I may be able to join. I'm going to use controller at first because, after 5+ of Destiny combined, it's just pure muscle memory. I hope to swap to kb+m eventually, but it's gonna take some time and tuning key bindings. I played a little to get my bearings and then I instantly realized my original DS4 was broken from playing so much Destiny 2 years ago! Luckily it's only R3 and with the Back Button attachment, it's resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Been playing on kb+m, surprisingly comfortable given I'm not used to it, usually play with controller. I hope it's not too loud, mechanical keyboards tend to be annoying like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 I haven't heard your keyboard at all. If we could get up to six so we have two full fireteams, and just group chat together, that would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 I made the switch over to kb+m. The only way to make the touchpad on the DS4 work was plugging it in by USB rather than wireless over Bluetooth. At that point it wasn't as comfortable, even for muscle memory. Running around Mars I got use to most of the key bindings. I don't know how I would fair in Crucible, but that would allow for 6 of us to play together. I also got Borderlands 3 recently as it's cheap on Green Man Gaming. If anyone was looking into that, I'm willing to play with them. Also, Dean was mentioning Jackbox games earlier in this thread. I have Party Pack 4 and 6, Drawful 2, and Quiplash 2 on Steam. The way I've been playing remotely with friends and family is by screen sharing in Discord. The nice thing is that only one person needs the game as everyone will be playing at jackbox.tv on either their smartphone, tablet, or even PC browser.

deanb Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 I could run some Jackbox if it's as simple as jamming it up on Discord. I have Jackbox 1 through 4 on Steam, and they obviously scale quite well. tbh on the Borderlands 3 front even cheap I'd rather not divert funds to Gearbox until Pitchford is gone.
