Destiny 2 (PC and other things)

[Kalyx triaD]

Russian bot.

[ClockShot]

I'd figure by now some reviews would have made their way to the internet. Metacritic will probably get bombarded at midnight tonight.

[Kalyx triaD]

"If you like Destiny you'll like this expansion. If not; won't."

[My Final Heaven]

Welllll, I won't be able to play it until tonight, it's another 8gb update for the game today. I thought that was what... last weeks update was for? :wtf:

[Kalyx triaD]

Last week's update was for last week's general sandbox changes. This update address things specific to Forsaken, like the new tabs in the start menu.

[My Final Heaven]

I guess things need to be done this way, if they want to keep any secrets from dataminers. Just have to order the pizza a little later :heart:

[Fignuts]

Just bought it. Gonna murder some barons tonight.

[Kalyx triaD]

Until the standalone option is fixed we're sitting this one out.

[ClockShot]

Holding off until the "we're addressing the solo player" promise/quote/statement holds true.

[Fignuts]

Holding off until the "we're addressing the solo player" promise/quote/statement holds true.

Hasn't it? By all accounts, this adds a shit ton for solo players and increases weekly activities.

[Fignuts]

Until the standalone option is fixed we're sitting this one out.

What is that?

[ClockShot]

Hasn't it? By all accounts, this adds a shit ton for solo players and increases weekly activities.

Endgame, dude.

Wanna hear reports that there's a lot of stuff to do in the Dreaming City solo so that players aren't forced to do the raid to acquire the endgame gear and upping your light level. Like Bungie said so.

Hit max light without with doing the raid, finally circumventing the invisible wall, you have my attention.

[Kalyx triaD]

The $40 option is impossible to purchase. The only options are the collection and deluxe packages from $60 to $100. The in-game link is busted and it doesn't exist on XBL or PS4 marketplaces. They said they're gonna loik into it.

I brought this up in the Bungie forums and some uncle tom ass fuckboy actually suggested that I can get around it by buying the deluxe edition. Nigga please.

[Fignuts]

Well I bought the $40 version this morning so they must have fixed it.

[Kalyx triaD]

I check every hour or so. I'm not getting it.

[Fignuts]

Several missions in, and I'm already really enjoying it. New enemies are different enough that they feel like a completely new species.

When I first got my hands on a bow, it felt a bit awkward. But after about 10 minutes I got the hang of it, and started chaining headshots, and hooooooooly shit I fucking love it. I mean, I'm a bit biased in the first place, as I love using bows in videogames for some reason, but still.....feels really good man. Can't wait to get an exotic bow.

Only real gripe is that I'm stuck in boring looking blue armor again. Kayfabe, it makes no sense. Why would this peasant armor be more powerful than my GLORIOUS EP armor with Leviathan raid shaders?

[Fignuts]

One of the biggest complaints around Forsaken is the expensive Infusion cost. I was playing around with Collections earlier this morning and realized we can largely bypass most of the cost:

Let's imagine you have a 300 Better Devils and you are currently 490. You could infuse another weapon into the Better Devils and spend the materials/cores OR you can simply pull a Better Devils out of your Collection. It will pull out at around your current power level (or slightly under) and then you can infuse that into your Better Devils (if you don't care about saving your old 300 one, you could just use the new one you pull out of the Collection but many people prefer to save their old one since it retains its Kill Count if it's Masterworked).

As long as you infuse something with the same name, it only costs Glimmer/Materials - it does not cost any Masterwork Cores.

This also works for Y2 versions of Y1 weapons. Maybe you got a Y2 Better Devils at 415 Power when you started doing campaign but now you're 490. Pull out a Y1 Better Devils and infuse it into the Y2 Better Devils and it's now at a higher power and you didn't spend any cores

This is an alternate way to infuse up your favorite gear from Y1 without spending all the cores

[Fryza]

Work around or not, the infusion system just doesn't feel good to me. Feels a bit too grindy for everything.

Wife and I finished the campaign and got into the Dreaming City last night and? Eh? I really wasn't too impressed with the story and idea. I dunno, maybe I'm finally getting full Destiny fatigue, but the tale just took a lot out of me.

Gameplay feels spot on again. Goofed and didn't get the new Sunbreaker super, so that's a shame. Gonna run it through on Hunter over the next couple days and see if that changes my tune.

[Fignuts]

Endgame, dude.

Wanna hear reports that there's a lot of stuff to do in the Dreaming City solo so that players aren't forced to do the raid to acquire the endgame gear and upping your light level. Like Bungie said so.

Hit max light without with doing the raid, finally circumventing the invisible wall, you have my attention.

I haven't gotten to the dreaming city but already there much more opportunity for powerful rewards with the addition of daily challenges.

[Fignuts]

Got to the dreaming city and I have to disagree with Fryza. Place is huge, and is one of the most gorgeous enviornments they've produced.

@clockshot, having now finished the campaign and started the end game, I can confirm there is a lot more opportunity to level up now.

So to give you an example without taking into account raid gear....

Before you had your weekly milestones which got you powerful gear
Flashpoint
5 Crucible Matches
3 Strikes
Nightfall
Nightfall Prestige
Clan XP

Now you have two types of refreshes. Weekly, like the old ones, and Daily, which you can do every 4 days.

Weekly
3 Strikes
3 Gambit matches
5 Crucible matches
Clan XP
Bounties for Ikora
Nightfall
Nightfall with score above 100,000
Complete 3 bounties for Petra
In addition, several of Petra's bounties provide Powerful gear themselves.
The Spider has a list of targets and the last and most difficult offers powerful gear.

Daily milestones which refresh every 4 days
Flashpoint
1 strike
1 crucible match
1 gambit match
Heroic Story mission


So yeah, 17 powerful engrams as opposed to 6

There is also a new buff called Prime Attunement. If you get a random Prime Engram drop (Prime Engram is what they are calling powerful gear engrams now) you get this buff which offers a chance to get more Prime Engram drops from Yellow Bar eneies and Crucible matches.

[ClockShot]

So?

Any of you guinea pigs try the raid yet?

[Fignuts]

Didn't have much time to play last week so I'm way under leveled.

Also, thought you didn't raid.

[ClockShot]

Don't unless the band gets back together. Which is extremely unlikely.

Judging from what I'm reading/watching, Bungie went back to the King's Fall way of things. Really long, a lot of bosses.

[Fignuts]

Should join my group on the 100. A good 200+ people in it, so its easy to get people together for stuff, and everyone is a mature, chill adult. Even runs where we had to stop after multiple wipes, no one gets mad or starts throwing blame. Its all for fun.

They've got quite a few Sherpas and experienced players to help with running end game activities.

https://www.the100.io/groups/125

[Fignuts]

The first raid completion has unlocked a new mission and strike for the dreaming city.

Speaking of strikes, Warden of Nothing is the best strike they've ever made.

Are people still unable to buy the standard edition?

[Kalyx triaD]

No. Not in the store.

[Fignuts]

You think it would be bigger news but I haven't seen anything outside of some reddit posts

[Kalyx triaD]

I brought it up in the forums and fanboys were telling 'they'll fix it they aren't trying to push the expensive bundles' and here we are two weeks later, in game link still didn't work last I checked and inexplicably there's still no standalone in BOTH console platforms. It's fucking absurd.

I'm straight. I'm not spending a dime over $40 until it is in the store as standalone.

[Fignuts]

I don't get why its only for some people. So weird.

[Fignuts]

The Corrupted strike that unlocked after the raid completion is also really good. The boss fight in particular is excellent.

[Fignuts]

Harder to find a shader that DOESN'T look amazing on the new Iron Banner armor. Didn't take much grinding to get it done either. Probably around a dozen matches.

[Fignuts]

Big news update

Bungie will soon be rolling out more ways to get masterwork cores, so that infusing is easier.

Exotic drop rates won't change, but they will implement changes that make it far less likely that you'll get a duplicate. This is a good change imo. I think the new drop rate is good. Makes exotics feel special again. Problem is, a lot of people , myself included have only gotten Y1 dupes. This should hopefully fix that.

New Crucible mode called breakdown, with 3 new maps

Each bounty in Iron banner will now grant powerful gear. On top of that, the next time it arrives, the requirements for said bounties will be halved, making it less grindy.

Private matches for gambit are in development

Festival of the Lost event returning in October.

[Kalyx triaD]

Hope they buff Thorn Jr by the time I arrive.

[Fignuts]

Still no updates on your issue? I tweeted bungie support but fuck if they ever even see it.

[Kalyx triaD]

I stopped checking. With some big stuff coming in two weeks I'll hold off D2 for another while. Just more to do whenever I get back.

[ClockShot]

New add-on content "Black Armory" goes live in a few weeks.

Gonna focus on some of the old weapon foundries such as Tex Mechanica, Krux/Lomar, etc. from what I've been reading. New raid comes along, too.

Bigger question, any of 'yall still playing this?

[Kalyx triaD]

They refused to add the $40 base option in the shop last I checked so I uninstalled.

[Fignuts]

depends on how engrossed I get in RDR2 Online. But I'll probably check it out. Took a break from Destiny when Fire Pro New Japan stuff dropped, and I've been distracted by other stuff ever since. Mainly getting that money in GTA Online.

Still need to get my Whisper. Fuck, I still haven't gotten my Sleeper Stimulant or a full set of EP armor.

[Fignuts]

The the only new gameplay content in black armory is the Forges. And the LL requirement for that is 640.

Since they didn’t increase the soft cap, it’s going to be quite some time before solo players even sniff that content.

I’m getting close to where I need to be to do the raid, but even with those rewards it will be a while before I hit the requirement for forges.

[My Final Heaven]

They've dropped the Light requirements by 5 for the forge today. kotaku.com (https://kotaku.com/bungie-already-tweaks-newest-expansion-to-reduce-grind-1830893114)

They also added some new weapons to some of the vendors, currently grinding out 1000 Arc kills in strikes for the Loaded Question :heart:

[Fignuts]

The Loaded Question definitely looks like a must have. I love the strikes in this game, so grinding out the 40 completions for it won't be so bad.

That 5 LL reduction on forges isn't really going to help much, but they also said thats just what they're doing right now. They have other plans and ideas on how to improve it which they will reveal in tomorrows "This week at Bungie"

All in all it's not that bad. Could of been handled better, but it's not the end of the world. People were going to grind to 650 anyway, so they'll eventually play it. Where Bungie really screwed up in this case was their lack of communication. If they would have announced the light level of the content a few weeks ahead of time, there still would have been people upset about it but the backlash wouldn't have been nearly as bad as it is. Sitting down to play newly released PAID content just to find you cant access any of it yet is pretty rough.

[Fignuts]

They announced that starting with the Dec 11 update the increased drop rate of Prime Engrams will extend to Level 600 instead of the current cut off at 550. This will actually help a lot. I jumped from 530 to 550 the last few days in large part due to the amount of Prime Engrams that dropped for me, which all dropped at 10 levels above my current LL.

[Fignuts]

Ended this week just shy of 560. With the Prime Engram drop rate increasing to 600, I should be good to try the raid by the weekend.
By the way, if you've never tried raiding or end game stuff, I reccomend joining my group on the 100

https://www.the100.io/groups/125

A lot of people in the group. Enough for two seperate clans with over 80 players each. Best part is everyone is cool. Mostly older players, who just want to have fun playing the game. No one taking things too seriously or getting toxic after wipes. Just good people. You can even get on the discord to get impromptu partners for nightfall or gambit. Lots of people on there willing to take new people through raids or help get rwards from difficult quests like The Whisper or Shattered Throne.

I definitely urge solo players to find a group like this. When I did, it opened the game up so much more, and made it a much more enjoyable experience. And that was before forsaken and all the stuff that adds.

[Fignuts]

Pretty huge plot development after this week’s shattered throne

Uldren is reborn as a guardian. Likely going to be the new hunter vanguard, as the stipulation of Cayde’s vanguard dare was that whoever finally kills him has to assume the mantle. Kind of a stupid dare considering it could have been anything from a fallen to a hive wizard that could have ended up killing him. lol

[Shadow]

A Fallen as Hunter Vanguard would've been amazing.

[ClockShot]

Is that supposed to be the hook to bring players back?

[Fignuts]

lol no.

Nothing but Destiny 3 being a true sequel and knocking it out of the park is going to bring players back.

[ClockShot]

I didn't think so.

I saw that video and I saw sitting here going "Really? They're going that direction?"

I'm totally down with Shadow's suggestion of a Fallen leading the Hunters. Bring back Variks, DAMN IT!

[Fignuts]

I think destiny 3 will involve humanity trying to ally with the other species, or at least factions within the other species to fight the darkness. We’re already loosely allied with Calus’ empire. An alliance that will probably strengthen with Penumbra.

None of the races are inherently evil. Not even the hive, despite looking like they were born from satan’s rectum. They became the way they are through encounters with the darkness.

Honestly, I really wish there was a Destiny comic series. Something that retells all the stories from the grimoire and lore books. Like Oryx is a very complex individual, but you’d never know that just from playing the game. The rise of Oryx and formation of the hive would make for a great mini series comic

[Kalyx triaD]

Pretty sure the 'Darkness' was written out as a collective evil.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, but it’s still something. Possibly those triangle ships.

[Fignuts]

Also, Ophidia Spathe + Play With Fire perk equals this

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8pjVnV1pPcY

Bungie ain't fucking around

[My Final Heaven]

Dude, we're goin' back to the fuckin' mooooon

This has just made my day, preordering at the earliest possible opportunity :love:

[Fignuts]

Maybe bungie will let you buy this one, Kalyx.

[Kalyx triaD]

Nah I'm holding out for Destiny 3. Jumping back in at year 3 would be a hard sell to my usual buds.

[Kalyx triaD]

- Original goth Eris Morn is the lead character of the new expansion. Getting out of retirement and will fight baddies on the Moon.

- Expansion is smaller than Forsaken, more similar to Rise of Iron (also a Year 3 expansion).

- Old bosses return on the moon.

- Moon is twice as large as old moon. Old areas will return, including the Dark Below.

- Armor function and progression reworked.

- F2P Destiny 2 version includes everything of Year 1.

- Instead of Annual Pass, Bungie will pursue Battle Pass style purchased seasons.

- Cross Saves; across XB1, PS4, and PC. Sony had to have their arm twisted.

- Sony exclusive content will be no more after honoring Year 2 exclusivity.

[Fignuts]

- Bungie intends for this updated version of the Moon to be more dreadful and horror themed.

- Players will be able to slot armor perks from one armor set into another set they like; based on aesthetics.

- Bungie teased a new artifact system that offers new perks, with the highest tier of these perks being "close to that of an exotic".

- New kill animations have been added for each character. Titans get a powerful punch, Hunters perform a flurry of dagger strikes, and Warlocks do a force push.

[Fignuts]

FUCK YES @ slotting armor perks. I’ve got so many badass looking Y1 armor sets that are pretty useless without the random rolls introduced in Y2.

[Fignuts]

Also, annual pass isn’t going away. They’ve changed it so you can buy each piece of it separately.

[Kalyx triaD]

This MIGHT bring me back. I dunno.

[Fignuts]

I’ll probably jump back in now since I have the annual pass and Oppulance just dropped. Skipped the last one because I just don’t give a shit about Gambit.

[Kalyx triaD]

Recently Eververse is said to have dropped RNG and you just get exactly what you want.

[Fignuts]

That’s nice I guess. I mean there was always stuff available to buy with bright dust which is easy to come buy.

Eververse never really bothered me because it’s such a small portion of the loot pool.

[Fignuts]

Tried out the Menagerie. Might be one of the most fun activities in the game's history.

It's basically a mini raid. You and 5 others go from encounter to encounter, each with it's own mechanics. None of them are as complex as a raid encounter and you can get by without communication, but playing with randoms is still gonna be rough.

Gonna want a nightstalker with Orpheus Rig, cause there are ads fucking everywhere, all the time. And they're fucking strong.

Definitely feel like this is a game mode made for people who don't raid but still want that experience. Having done a few raids now, I totally get why they don't do matchmaking for them, as it would be a shit show, and a waste of most people's time. This seems like a good compromise.

[Byrge]

Tried out these world famous rangefinders for hunting (https://www.villagevoice.com/best-rangefinders-for-hunting/) and the Menagerie. Might be one of the most fun activities in the game's history.

Sounds like they possibly want this type of content to be a gateway to raid content. Something to get your feet wet, so to speak. And then if you like it, you start raiding for real.

[Fignuts]

New details on finishing moves

* Just like other games the move is activated by hitting a promp when the enemy is at a health threshold.

* Finishing move costs super energy to use (they are still deciding on how much)

* There will be mods to add extra benefits to using finishing moves such as making the enemy drop ammo packs for the whole team.

* At launch players can only have one finisher equipped but post launch bungie plans to add a multi finisher system and even a optional randomise system.

[Kalyx triaD]

Fucking cool.

[Fignuts]

Hall of Triumphs is gonna keep me pretty busy through the next month. I'mma get that Bad Juju.

[Fignuts]

Moon looks fucking good.

[Fignuts]

Solstice of Heroes event goes the whole month. Adds a new mode called Aerial Dead Zone which is kind of like the EDZ but floating in the sky. Uses assets from that area but the layout is completely original. Point of the mode is to find and kill mini bosses before the main boss shows up. The more mini bosses you kill, the more chests you get after killing the boss.

Also adds a new set of armor.

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/6iKHZI3I6WCtpWQyGbGLLJP7Cfw=/1000x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/18332547/Solstice.gif

[Kalyx triaD]

Nice.

[Fignuts]

* Shadowkeep and New Light delayed until 10/1/2019
* Moments of Triumph extended until 9/17/2019
* Another Iron Banner 9/17/2019
* New raid race for world first is Saturday 10/5/2019
* Cross save is coming before Shadowkeep, but no date listed, just "later this summer)

[Kalyx triaD]

That right there validates breaking up with Activision. They'd never allow that.

[Fignuts]

Was thinking the exact same thing. I was skeptical of how much of an impact the split would make when it was announced, but Bungie has been killing it ever since.

[Fignuts]

[Kalyx triaD]

All good changes, but I know it's gonna be hell getting the mods I want.

[Fignuts]

It's hell.

[rez]

The servers are down. I want to try out Destiny 2 on Stadia.

[Kalyx triaD]

Dunno what's going on.

Also good luck with that.

[Kalyx triaD]

Cross platform and such now. I'm easy to find.

[Shadow]

I've always been easy to find. Just look for the Hunter in hilariously Neo-Pop shader.

[Kalyx triaD]

Figures you're a Hunter.

[Shadow]

I'm also a Yeet Titan but yeah I main Blade Barrage Hunter.

[Kalyx triaD]

We'll dance soon.

[Kalyx triaD]

These niggas doing seasonals.

[Fignuts]

Seasonal what?

[drave]

Seasonal seasons.

[Kalyx triaD]

The overly long Astral arena thing is a seasonal activity, helps you get the newer, targeted gear. Every season has some kind of mode like that.

[Fignuts]

Oh, well yeah.

Did you mean the blueberries you're paired with suck at it?

Not sure how you could suck at Astral alignment. It's one of the most self explanatory activities they've made.

[Kalyx triaD]

It's a bit long tho.

[Shadow]

Almost as long as Sundial. With the same stages too. It's fun but yeah, sometimes the Blueberries aren't the best at it.

[Fignuts]

Izanagi Burden catalyst just dropped from iron banner. 500 kills to activate it. Oof.

[Kalyx triaD]

Catalyst that just want kills are not bad. Go to the Moon and just loiter about with the public Knightmare Hunts. I go there to wipe away weapon bounties quick. Tons of enemies all the time on that part of the Moon.

[Fignuts]

Slogged through Iron banner at 1305 for the pinnacles and faceless hunter mask. Ended up getting the last enhancement prism I needed to get an ascendant shard. Now I gotta decide which past exotic to buy. Leaning heavily towards Sleeper.

[Kalyx triaD]

Sleeper's not so hot anymore but that could be community hysterics again.

[Fignuts]

It wasn't hot anymore, but with this seasons mods it's shredding again.

[Kalyx triaD]

Seasonal mods are kinda tacky but I need to grind a legendary lost sector to get these exotic gauntlets.

[Fignuts]

Heard the Prophecy weapons are pretty good. We should team up soon to take it on.

[Kalyx triaD]

I haven't done any of the dungeons yet. I have been curious and never looked at playthroughs as to not spoil myself. We could team up, maybe bring that Drave with us. Battlefield beta is in two days so I'll be mostly consumed by that this week, fair warning.

[drave]

yeah we stepped into a hive dungeon a few nights ago and lol'd through a lil bit of it before going "WTF". It was MASSIVE with no real good indicator of what to do.


There was this lil white circle it looks like someone was supposed to stand in, but nothing worked.

[drave]

I was FINALLY able to get a ticket in with a MS Engineer for the shit I've been experiencing lately. They told me on the phone it was something to do with the "live service" on my account. Great.... wonderful.




You know..... angry old man shaking fist at cloud might actually make sense in the future when our data is stuck there without a reliable way to retrieve it.

[Fignuts]

Ok, definitely want to do dungeons now.

Any takers?

[drave]

Gotta log back on to see if I still have the shit I was playing through or not. I don't recall buying Witch Queen......




I might tho. The new expansion looks incredible.




You talking strikes or raids?

[Fignuts]

Raids would be cool but you need 6 for that. Dungeons are like lite raids with 3 people. I think I recall you and I trying one, but there were mechanics we couldnt figure out right from the start.

[drave]

OOOh yeah, the undead place. Ill hop on today and see whats up

[Shadow]

Did someone say....dungos? Still need to complete Duality at some point.

Also what made you come back Fignuts?

[Fignuts]

I'll be on. The campaign can be done co-op, and you can do it on legendary if you want to level up faster.

[Fignuts]

Did someone say....dungos? Still need to complete Duality at some point.

Also what made you come back Fignuts?

People saying witch queen was their best campaign yet, combined with my love of the hive lore. That and just the general itch to come back and shoot aliens in the face.

Then you probably haven't seen this video eh? Byf does a wonderful job summing up everything Hive up to Witch Queen.

[ClockShot]

Ok, definitely want to do dungeons now.

Any takers?

I'm down. Not ready yet cause I'm still playing catch up. Need to do some dungeons for exotics when the time comes.

Did Shadowkeep stuff. Currently splitting between Forsaken and Beyond Light. Haven't played Pirates yet.

[Fignuts]

Actually enjoying crucible a lot more, now that they added skill based matchmaking. Reeeaaallly enjoying the Le Monarque + Hand Cannon combo. Its very good but not S tier so I don't feel as dirty as when I used Lord of Wolves.

[drave]

I did buy Witch Queen yesterday :D


Only done the intro and one other mission, just met the ghost dude.

[Kalyx triaD]

Play Witch Queen campaign on legendary, btw. Stopped halfway to do target grinding for builds.

[Shadow]

I never thought I'd have as much fun on any other Titan as I did on Yeet. Then I got Loreley's. Holy crap I only die when I'm not paying attention to where my sunspots are.

[Kalyx triaD]

Play Witch Queen on hard. You'll die.

[Shadow]

Already done that. I don't. Voidlock go boom.

[drave]

Play Witch Queen on hard. You'll die.




That was some hard shit for sure. I was just along for the ride while you melted shit.


Sorry for the quick exit. My kids have their friends over all weekend, had to go tend to them for a bit.

[drave]

Oh yeah...... whats the top light level now??


Not sure how, but I was given a set of shit that is 1540..... seems like if that's tops without going to raids, then I ruined things for myself. Still not sure how I got that stuff.


SO much new stuff in the game. Gotta start paying attention to stats on armor, never used to.

[ClockShot]

You're in a good spot right now at 1540. I'm at 1550. Power caps out at 1580. But you gotta do your raids, nigthfalls, dungeons, and whatever else offers pinnacle gear as rewards to get there.

[drave]

Yeah.... this shit was given to me at the beginning of Witch Queen. Was like a 200 point light jump from when I last played.

[Fignuts]

Soft cap is 1540, powerful cap is 1570, and hard cap is 1580. Though your overall light level can be even higher with the artifact bonus.

[Kalyx triaD]

That was some hard shit for sure. I was just along for the ride while you melted shit.


Sorry for the quick exit. My kids have their friends over all weekend, had to go tend to them for a bit.

You can melt too. Given time to build.

Destiny is the most build craft happy it's ever been. But if you've been gone you missed out on a lot of armor mods and weapon rolls that help with builds. Or get lucky. Figs was just collecting exotics on our playthru.

[Fignuts]

Since I got back in, hero nightfalls have been handing out exotic catalysts like candy as well. I even got two at once.

[ClockShot]

Jumped in a public event on Europa and a exotic engram dropped from a dreg.

I was like "Damn. That's new."

[Fignuts]

Got 3 new chest exotics from the legend lost sector today. Burn was the same as sheilds which is rare, and it was an easy sector too. The one with all the robot buddies.

[ClockShot]

I gotta re-read or watch a video on how that works. Tried it yesterday and that first shielded enemy kicked my ass. I thought I had the right weapons on to knock down the shield. But nothing.

[Fignuts]

That enemy was a champion. Having the right element for sheilds isnt enough. You also need the right seasonal mods on your arms. It was an overload champion so you needed an overload mod and the appropriate weapon which this season is a bow or machine gun.

[Shadow]

If you have a Le Monarch or a Thunderlord, they have perks on them which means you don't have to have those mods equipped. Which, like has been said, makes building so very very fun.

Currently been having fun as an Arc Strider again. Gathering Storm has to be the most fun Super ever. And this is coming from a Blade Barrage main.

[Kalyx triaD]

Iron Banner will be tomorrow. It's no longer based on light level and the reward structure is different. Also rep gain is double for PvP so if you grind Shaxx's reward pass go for it.

wat




Is there a "guide" for this shit?

[Kalyx triaD]

Examine any exotic you have and some have been updated to have one of the champion mods built in. Bungie adds them to some old exotics every season.

Champion mods have either box, square, or circle symbols and mission screens tell you which Champs you'll deal with.

Champions can be killed without mods, but it takes a combo of super, heavy ammo weapons, buffs, a lot of resources. Champion mods are annoying but you'll need them.

[Fignuts]

wat




Is there a "guide" for this shit?

I can explain it better next time play. You probably wont encounter them much with the content you have right now. Unless you bought the season pass.

[ClockShot]

I figured it out. I didn't have the mods slotted into the armor/gun.

I thought when I just unlocked it, it was just an automatic thing.

Still learning here.

[Shadow]

Yep. Gotta slap on mods to your armor in order for it to do anything. It's annoying but...is what it is.

[ClockShot]

Finished Beyond Light and joined the Dark Side. I don't know how the Titans and Warlocks made out, but the Hunter stasis is kinda lame at the moment. Hopefully when the 2nd action rolls around it's better. But I'll stick with it for a bit and build it up.

Probably stay on Europa for a bit and do some collecting. Seems like the easiest of the bunch to fill out the triumphs page. Then I'll move on to Nessus and see what's up there.

[Kalyx triaD]

Nessus is pretty much irrelevant.

[Shadow]

Save for the fact it's the site of the third expedition arena. The most action it's gotten since....Season of Arrivals? Whichever season gave us Caitil, Zavala's girlfriend.

[Kalyx triaD]

Zavala's girl is dead. He hasn't had a sandwich in like 300yrs.

[Shadow]

Hence why Bungie gave us the Empress of the Cabal as Zavala's new girlfriend.

[Fignuts]

She definitly wants his gjallerhorn.

[Fignuts]

Completed my first King's Fall. Such a fun raid. Sooooooo much more fun than the Leviathan raids.

RNG didnt like me. 3 of the same pulse rifle, which isnt even one of the better weapons of the set.

[drave]

yeaaaaaah...... i 100% unexpectedly got sucked into Battlefield. Haven't been able to play it for nearly a year.



My son though, he went on to finish the campaign, and is leveling up the Exotic SMG that shoots lil living things that poison shit. PrettyCool.

[Fignuts]

Osteo Striga

Definitely one of the most fun exotics they've come up with in a while.

Also looks like it was carved from cthulu's dick.

[Kalyx triaD]

FINALLY got Claws of Ahamkara back. Never should have deleted it a year ago. I knew I'd need it back when Arc 3.0 came around and sure enough my 2nd Warlock is a lightning maniac.

[Shadow]

I've been having fun with Liar's Handshake and Arcstrider. Wading into a bunch of enemies and pressing the melee button never felt so fun.

[ClockShot]

Almost ready. Still on Europa doing stasis stuff and errands for my buddy Varriks.

Hopped into the strike playlist to advance a quest. Nice to know those are straightforward still.

Tried to get the Xenophage from the Pit of Heresy. Nope. Probably need to drag a team along for that.

[Shadow]

Xeno isn't hard to get but make sure you get someone who'll actually show you the way....and not kill you for a bit.

[Fignuts]

After all these years I finally complete a raid in destiny within its first month and bungie is selling some stupid goth looking ring instead of a cool raid jacket.

[Fignuts]

Cleared grasp of avarice. Very tedious, but worth it for the gjallerhorn and cool armor.

Kalyx, you get one more person I could take y'all through it. Think we've lost drave to the dark abyss of battlefield. He's a hive wizard now.

[Kalyx triaD]

Internet use is very limited right now due to moving. Just when I got my Arc PvE build fine tuned.

[ClockShot]

I can run with you guys if you need an extra.

Almost ready. Probably starting Witch Queen stuff when I get home from work today. Bulk of my quests currently are Crucible/Gambit based now with strikes and dungeons mixed in.

[drave]

I can jump in and play for sure. Still have to go kill Savathun in my campaign after helping my son rip through it. He's on a freakin tear man, been playing every day.


I'll finish up campaign today, see what's left. Need to take a break from Battlefield, it started popping up in my dreams. The last game that did that was Tetrisphere, and that was terrible.

[Fignuts]

You'll need the 30th anniversary pack to run grasp of avarice. Plenty of other stuff to do though, if you dont want to fork over for it.

[Shadow]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....Dares of Eternity.

[Fignuts]

I don't think you need the pack to do dares of eternity. You just need for the rewards in xur's treasure hoard.

[drave]

Finished up the main campaign, I think. Have the SMG and Parasite rocket launcher now.




pew pew

[drave]

sorry for the quick dip, Fig. Kids asked to play Switch right as that run ended :(




Fuckin smashed that Nightfall tho.

[ClockShot]

Aye aye aye.

Finished the 2nd mission in witch Queen and got sent into PsiOps.

2-Tailed Fox dropped for me yesterday. Gotta take that and Deathbringer for a spin.

[Kalyx triaD]

PsiOps would be the seasonal story track from two seasons ago. After that you don't have to continue that particular story, unless you wanna catch up on 'episodes' of the seasons leading up to now.

Witch Queen (this year's main campaign)
- Season 1 "Risen" (PsiOps mode)
- Season 2 "Haunted" (Containment missions, Public Events on Laviathan)
- Season 3 "Plunder" (Expedition mode, Ketchcrash mode, Relic Hunt missions)

You must buy the battle pass of a given season to play thru weekly episodes and grind that seasons gear, but some of the modes are free for all.

Seasonal gear is pretty damn good too. Particularly Season of the Risen stuff.

[Shadow]

I got the Deathbringer Caty. The damage on that is amazing. It was also my exotic of choice through Witch Queen as it did amazing damage against everything.

Yeah. I got the whole shabang when they had that sale. So I got access to everything.

I just, totally underestimated how much still is still available. I figured after x amount of time, they'd just shut it down and lock it away.

Probably going forgo a good chunk of it that's not really necessary or mission related.

[Kalyx triaD]

They did vault a lot, but usually places irrelevant to the story and especially as far as gear is concerned (though the questline legendaries were very dubious to 'sunset').

Shadowkeep brought the Moon back with a new progressing public event that is perfect for farming kills for gunsmith bounties and catalyst grinds. Beyond Light's campaign is the only way to get ice powers but unlocking the aspects and fragments is very tedious and not worth it since it got hella nerfed (but for completionists sake go for it). Dreaming City is the survivor of Forsaken's vaulting and still has an interesting public event activities to do.

Peep the Collections tab, look up weapons and see where they may drop. Avoid sunset stuff obviously. I've wanted a raid weapon from Vow, and a void sword from the Duality dungeon. Other than that gear wise I have everything I want.

[Fignuts]

Got the Scout AND the Hand Cannon from King's Fall tonight. Scout is a god roll for sure. Not quite with the HC, but it's close.

Got the helmet, so just need the chest to complete the set.

No malice yet.

[drave]

Aight....




what's the deal with "red border" weapons. I know they have a pattern or whatever, that can be extracted.


That shit worth it? I've done it a few times and got some materials...... yeah. God man, feel like this going f2p really brought in "too much shit" and it feels like a f2p model now.

[Shadow]

God yes they're so worth it. Get the pattern, craft the weapon, level it up to the point where you can get the rolls you want on it, go to town with your now god-roll weapon. I've got a few crafted weapons that have the perks I want on them and my god, they feel so good. I just with the drop rate for some of them were...a bit better.

[drave]

Whoopsie, I guess....




I've been scrapping the fook outta them. They aren't as good as the shit I do use, so I've not bothered with them.


Seems like a lot of shit for 1 weapon. Sometimes, when I'm away from Destiny I forget how fucking grindy it is. To be expected on looter shooters, but the Destiny grind always seems.... worse.

[Fignuts]

Scrapping them progresses the pattern as well, so you're good. Also, not everything with a red border has pattern that can be extracted. It will tell you at the bottom of the item info.

You should get a quest at some point to craft the Taipan Linear Fusion rifle. You should do that, and then level it up all the way. With the right perks its one of the best dps guns in the game.

[drave]

ugh.... linear fusion rifles.




hate them

[Fignuts]

Well you don't have to. The big thing is its legendary, so it frees space for an exotic in the other slots, which is where I typically like to use them. Although Gjallerhorn and Thunderlord are a lot of fun.

[drave]

Thunderlord is insane man. I've kept that with me the entire time because it has absolutely obliterated ANYTHING I've come across thus far.




Tried playing yesterday and kept going to a black screen when matchmaking for anything. Tried a few times with the same results so gave up :(




Ugh - kinda also getting the itch to play FO76 again. Felt defeated as I went through bunker on my own, having NO fucking clue what I was getting into, and essentially wiped out my inventory. Gotta go collecting//scrapping//gathering for a long time.

[Shadow]

Yeah the changes to red boarders are great. I just wish the drop rates weren't....crap.

At least for this season anyways.

[Fignuts]

I think the drop rates could be a bit better, but in my opinion the bigger problem is the amount of patterns required for some of the weapons. 3 is fine. 5 is artificial grind bullshit.

[Kalyx triaD]

For anybody versed in the lore, how many Weapons of Sorrow have been uncovered? I know of only two. The poison exotic gauntlets seem like it's in that set but don't think so.

[Fignuts]

Thorn
Nercochasm
Touch of Malice
Osteo Striga

[Kalyx triaD]

Forgot about Necro. And I didn't know Malice was a WoS to begin with.

[Fignuts]

We built it, but it's construction was all planned by Oryx.

[ClockShot]

Gave Gambit a go to advance a couple quests.

Neat concept. But probably better with friends so you all can coordinate. A usual game with randoms everyone is off doing their own thing when something happens.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, definitely better to have a team so you can assign roles. One person to ad clear, one person to gather motes, one to invade, etc.

[Kalyx triaD]

I play Gambit a lot and what I learned is to just assume others with will play as simplistic as possible. Kill a bunch of grunts and let the blueberries get the motes and cash in. Take care of blockers yourself, they won't do it. In the boss phase quickly deal with the Wizards, they won't do it. Hunt down the invader, they won't do it.

[Kalyx triaD]

After avoiding it this whole time I crafted a rocket launcher that has no patience for bullshit. Looked at what my preferred perks need level wise and just grinded it on the moon up to lvl16. Probably do this more often if the pattern unlock wasn't obnoxious and way more weapons converted to this system.

[Fignuts]

Ran Duality for the first time yesterday. It's a really cool dungeon. Being a weekly, I got several pinnacles from it. Got Stormchaser, which is a highly sought after LFR that has 3 round burst. Feels so good.

Also got Heartshadow. On the first try. I'm not used to this kind of affection from the rng.

[drave]

Bro, my son was trying to explain all this shit to me yesterday, lol.


He's up to 1579//1580 depending what gear he equips. He did say they don't have a "save loadout" feature. Seems like a pretty big oversight in a game that allows different builds..... and is a fucking pain to switch around all the time. Guess that's coming in Lightfall.

[ClockShot]

Started doing Ketchcrash and Expeditions.

It's fun. But I'd wish they'd switch up Ketchcrash just a bit. Maybe do a bit of a defensive minded type in tandem with an attack/boarding.

Also had to do Nightfall for a mission. FINALLY they matchmake it........at the lower levels. Which I'm cool with.

[Fignuts]

Depending on which nightfall it is, you might be able to get 100k on matchmaking difficulty. Just make sure you beat all the champions.

Yeah, that and the in game lfg are features that should have been there from day one.

[Fignuts]

Got Kings Fall done with all Arc sub classes tonight. Surprised at how smooth it went. Just have to the void triumph next.

[Kalyx triaD]

I want Heartshadow. Collector of void things.

[Shadow]

It's such a ridiculous sword.

[Fignuts]

Its pretty damn fun, yeah. Duality is fun, but damn its a tough one. A lot harder than Grasp of Avarice.

Theres a lot of cool gear you can get from it though.

[ClockShot]

Putting doing the missions for the Parasite. After THAT, I should finally be available to do fun stuff. Take on the Dungeons, Ketchcrash, other exotic quests, etc.

[ClockShot]

Okay. I've hit the ceiling. Now just a never ending quest to do missions for Pinnacle gear.

I guess I could go back and do the Witch Queen missions of Legendary. I stopped after the first two because I just wanted it over and done with.

[Kalyx triaD]

There some missions (on Legendary) that will make you lose your mind. But they're double solo.

[Shadow]

With the right build, they're beyond easy.

[Shadow]

Did Duality with a bud and his clanmate. Walked out with Heartshadow. You may now hate me.

[ClockShot]

Played Dares of Eternity.

Giving Xur something to do and a personality blended of Tina Tiny with her horse and a deranged Bob Barker is just weird.

[Fignuts]

I think silly and over the top was the theme of 30th anniversary pack as a whole.

Grasp of Avarice is whacky.

[Kalyx triaD]

Starhorse can solo the Witness. No prep time.

[Fignuts]

A lot of the people in my clan are hardcore destiny players. They've completed these activities so many times, they started adding extra elements to group ups.

Today we ran master ketchcrash while another group was doing trials, all on the same chat. And while playing the new Taylor Swift album.

Tuesday we'll be running two groups of kingsfall in the same chat while playing spooky halloween sounds.

Anarchy

[Shadow]

That got nerfed awhile ago.

[ClockShot]

:lol:

Backend of the Forerunner quest line was fun.

Anybody spring for the robot ornaments for the festival? Titans and Warlocks made out alright with the Gundam and what looks like a Beetleborg.

[Kalyx triaD]

Got the Warlock set.

[ClockShot]

Season of the Seraph looks neat.

Won't be jumping in for a while. Got God of War and Evil West to play.

[Shadow]

Thank god I finished up WoW content for now.

[Kalyx triaD]

Comp Crucible is very nerve wrecking.

[Fignuts]

Fucking season of reused assets.

Starting to think leaving activision was a mistake. Really showing how much those other teams under the activision umbrella really helped with content. And it's not like bungie's monetization has been any less greedy. If anything it's gotten worse.

I'm honestly not even sure if I'm buying Lightfall at this point. From January to March, theres a lot of stuff coming out that looks way more interesting.

[drave]

Starting the Witch Queen on Legend. I want my Titan helmet god damnit.


Also, not as hard as it used to be because I have stuff and things. My son started on his titan (not leveled) and we were doing pretty damn well together. Has his Warlock at 1590 (I think?).


This game is good, when you pay.

[Shadow]

Which Titan Helmet you going for?

Cause my Titan's a Sweet War Rig Titan.

[drave]

Loreley Splendor.

[Shadow]

Oh that's a great helmet. Even with the nerfs to it it's still pretty much Solar Titan never dies. Just gotta keep throwing hammers.

[drave]

Bungie kinda pissed me off.......


Bought the Deluxe edition of Witch Queen so my son and I would have the past seasonal stuff....... only to find out they are the ONLY feature not supported across linked accounts. He has his Xbox as the home one so he gets my GamePass Ultimate, etc.


Never, even once has this been a problem with past purchases. He even received the Exotic bonuses (vehicles, emotes, whatever). He does NOT get dungeon keys (whatever) nor does he get any prior season passes.


Their reply was that we do "not support linked accounts" - but nowhere in their EULA or whatever, does it explicitly state this.


Fuckers.

[drave]

We did the dungeon and he got his bow :)

[Shadow]

Oh congrats. It seems like a fun exotic from what I've seen.

Need to get my hat.

[Kalyx triaD]

Build changes coming in Lightfall is... interesting.

[Shadow]

It's a way to streamline buildcrafting as the current system is adequate but...messy. Having to hunt down and masterwork several sets of armor in order to have the build you want hasn't been ideal. This way you can go after that one set of armor you really want and just plug and play mods. Gonna be interesting.

[ClockShot]

Haven't gotten too deep into Lightfall. But Bungie FINALLY got around to creating gear load outs. You can make up to 10.

[drave]

That was announced long ago tho.




Also, secret mission is out and pretty damn good.

[Shadow]

It's been kicking my ass.

[ClockShot]

Yeah. I tried it with the power boost bump. Got overwhelmed. Might just do it with some randoms when I get some stronger gear and deeper into the campaign.

[Kalyx triaD]

Nightfall is pretty difficult on it's new base difficulty. Pretty cool.

[ClockShot]

Don't know if Bungie had it planned or if it was just absolute bad timing. But Amanda Holliday got killed off today with today's reset in the Defiance questline. And with Lance Reddick sadly gone, who knows what's gonna happen with Zavala. :'(
