STALKER

In Destiny 2, the way you build your character significantly influences whether you’ll triumph in activities or repeatedly fail or even give up, especially for tough challenges like Trials of Osiris and Grandmaster Nightfalls. So far, Hunters have enjoyed a winning streak thanks to great Exotics, innovative features, and redesigns. The array of Prismatic Aspects and abilities they’ve gained is incredibly potent, and Gifted Conviction, an Exotic, has been added as well. However, the cloaked Guardians could certainly benefit from some fresh ideas in their Void subclass.

The Nightstalker subclass has taken a back seat in Destiny 2, with its melee abilities appearing more like an outdated skill than a strong asset for Guardians. Since Void 3.0 was introduced, players who specialize as Nightstalkers have been eagerly anticipating a powerful melee option that could compete with the abilities of other subclasses. The current melee choice, mainly the smoke bomb, restricts interactions and doesn’t always fit well into Destiny 2’s fast-paced gameplay dynamics. In a comment, a user expressed, “I’d trade anything for an aspect that isn’t just another way to become invisible,” reflecting a widespread sentiment that Nightstalker needs a revamp. The foundation is in place; players are simply hoping Bungie will take the leap and give Nightstalker the attention it requires.

I, Fenom, am quite recognized on Twitch, a platform where more than 20,000 gamers eagerly catch my live Counter-Strike sessions, not just for the gameplay, but also for the intense showdowns I engage in with fellow players.

Despite not experiencing major battles since the initial phase of the conflict, this city has endured repeated assaults through drone attacks, missiles, and airstrikes. The team at GSC Game World has diverse reasons for remaining, but their resilience echoes that of Ukraine – Russia’s attempts to advance on the capital were halted early in the invasion, and Ukraine has persisted in fighting back for over three years now.

2023 saw a fire erupt in the server room of an office building in Prague, affecting one floor significantly. Thankfully, no injuries were reported. Pictures taken after the incident reveal charred areas and ash scattered on the ground. GSC Game World CEO Ievgen Grygorovych appears to see this event as a hidden opportunity, as he shared his thoughts during the latest TopMob Insider documentary.

TopMob journeyed to the fresh GSC Game World headquarters in Prague for a face-to-face chat with the developers about the challenging journey of releasing Stalker 2. In the enlightening 40-minute documentary, the developers recount harrowing experiences from the game’s production, such as how a fire added another obstacle to the project’s path. The documentary reveals that around 200 GSC employees fled Ukraine due to the conflict and set up a new office in Prague, but over 200 chose to stay in Kyiv.
