Positive Vibes thread?

So, per the general hubbub (and the fact that Government Shutdowns, however temporary leave me with time otherwise unplanned) I have decided to look through my screenshots, etc. to share some thing that others may have missed that still give me a chuckle. P sure most people probably read these if they did all the Dawning stuff. I think I may have missed some.

If you ever wondered how Shaxx can keep going with his ruckus of crucible announcements:

Or how about the lore behind fixing one particular hawk's seizures?

Or dealing with Cayde being the "funny Vanguard"?

Revenge?

Umm...

Because I know a lot of folk don't like him:

Makes me wonder if the character model colors ever change (sadly unlikely):

BONUS: "Color Theory" My favorite UI oddity of D2.

Please, take a moment to chuckle. And/or share. Or just discuss things you actually like about the game or good stories you've had?

This was the best one of them all. The dialogue was amazing. Whenever people say they didn't like the dawning I keep thinking and pointing (in my head) but, but!! THIS!!

I LOVED these. Lots of little flavor added to the characters.

Some things I'm loving in D2:

New Telesto is the Besto: I know a lot of people don't like the changes, but I absolutely love it. The fact that the explosives last a lot longer and explode on proximity make it so much fun to use.
Acrius: This gun will probably always be on this list. Getting a double or triple kill with one shotgun blast is too much fun. Nevermind the fact that it one shots ANY super in range (unless a Sentinel is blocking).
Strikes in general: Been playing a lot solo, and I gotta say I'm enjoying running the strike playlists a lot more than in D1. The strikes are just more interesting and varied. Not to mention almost none of the bosses just feel tanky.

Coordinating triple golden gun shots was a lot of fun :D

That was you right?

Telesto

The longer duration bomblets are both a blessing and a curse. Next time you're playing with someone you don't like stick some to their face. They last a long time and "friendlies" can't see through them.

Acrius

The way everyone describes this (I do not have a group for raiding on PC and haven't been back to the Xbox since shortly after CoO) it feels more and more like that is what most shotguns should feel like now that they're in the power category. But it's the only one.

The strikes are just more interesting and varied. Not to mention almost none of the bosses just feel tanky.

All of the bosses feel really quite different. Whether behavior differences from their regular versions of encounter phases. They all seem to have a distinct attack/action (Cloaking and disengaging for Thaviks; blinding shot for Protheon; flame circle for Bracus Zahn; seeker bombs from Savathûn's Song; void fire with Brakion; darkness blast on Dendron; and concussion gun for Valus Thuun) which also keeps them from feeling boring. Thaviks is the worst, though.

Thaviks is the worst, though.

I used to get really annoyed with the way he'd sometimes throw me off the platform, but he seems pretty tolerable ever since Valus Thuun showed up :P

Those 4 Minotaurs on the platform with Dendron are by far the worst for my experience. I got used to where I needed to be to not get knocked of by Thaviks quick and Thuun just knocks me into lasers, so I just run to the back. But if you aren't paying attention to those Minotaurs at the top of the tree with Dendron? I think I got stomped off the platform 5 times in one strike. They caused at least two wipes.

Physics impulses are by far the most difficult enemies in D2.

I'm so dumb that I didn't realize what any of these were during the event. There was even multiple people here trying to explain to me how to see these and I still didn't understand, I felt so stupid I abandoned the thread. SO THANK YOU for posting these, they are great.

My favorite D2 things are Caydes treasure maps. It's fun finding them and going into places I wouldn't normally go to. I used to host a forum treasure hunt in Halo 2, it was freaking hard AF to put together but still really fun. I might have to bust another out in D2, the open worlds make it a perfect setting.

Sunshot is pretty cool. Splody bad guys is always fun.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing a few of them, too. At the very least I know I didn't screen Zavala's. Which was definitely appropriate, and if anyone wants to continue the Zavala romantic fan fiction from a lower thread, please ensure that the Dominus Ghaul stress ball is included.

And I definitely go places I normally wouldn't when it comes to the Treasure maps. While I would have loved them to be more like the maps in some game (a hint and a scrawl detailing a piece of scenery) I'm still happy to chase them down. The text is definitely good. Also the things you get out of the chests.

I would like to submit for your consideration "Vanguard Vacations" as a topic for your writing challenges. What do the NPCs do during their R&R time.

I mean, now that the Traveler has awoken, surely there is some time for R&R,

Promising me blue and giving me purple is a horrible, horrible thing.

Try patrolling the EDZ, grab the "Getting Your Hands Dirty" adventure from Devrim, and go to The Sludge and activate it. Don't melee the Taken, just let them stick around, and get public events or other enemy movements. Tons of action and enemy faction battles.

Disregard the frame counter and minor bits of overlay in some of them. I'm actually still quite delighted with just looking around the destinations. Or every time I notice something new that I hadn't seen before in an area.

Thanks for sharing, I missed those as playing D2 wasn't a priority over "The Holidays" and into January. I'm a software developer for a tax preparation & e-filing website & this time of year ends up being really busy, so I missed the Dawning. (Just finished ToO story missions last night).
