It’s the versions of the Brave guns that have the hideous golden sheen on the front third.

The forbearance roll that you get from doing the shax quest is really loving good for like no effort. Just go to shuro chi and do it five times with the hive GL from that season a bit ago

Look, all I'm saying is it should have been the whole weapon or the base Brave shader should be different colors/pattern cause it just doesn't work with the gold gradient.

It's kind of a bummer you can't toss a shader under the GOLDEN GODS to be honest

I dunno about that, the way Destiny's code is maybe the UI elements for power level are tied to matchmaking code somehow.

I notice they matchmake roughly by power level. Whenever I have under level armor on I always get put with newbies. Sometimes I spend sessions just under light doing stuff to help newbies out.

Non-legend onslaught just showers you with guns. It's pretty good, chill way to get like 8-10 seasonal guns for less than an hour of playing. Plus all the tokens to turn in as well.

I still like bounties, they've made them significantly less grindy so you can load up on all of them quickly from the app and either alter your kit slightly while doing quick fun stuff to knock as many out as you can or just do whatever you normally do and get some extra xp and bright dust by coincidence.

Are the psion-model enemies like literally psions that have joined the dread faction? Or are they a different species ?

They never resolved the whole chief/super/whatever psion guy going rogue during WQ right? Forget his name but presumably they’re Rhulked up psions.

The story didn't support fallen saber or sepiks prime getting ported either but they did it anyway

If they're going to pad out the strike playlist I'd rather they bring back strikes that were already in D2, like savathun's song (why wasn't this in season of the deep dammit)

Yirix is still out there, yeah. Everything around Nez (full stop but) and his relationship with the Psions is unresolved, and Lakshmi-as-maybe-msund12 is a wrinkle that has obviously come back up a couple of times this year.

Is there any aspect of D1 Mars in the game? The D2 Mars sandbox/tileset are pretty distinct. It's probably a lot more work to add a strike to D2 when its underlying planet isn't a part of D2.

Apparently Vox Obscura used some D1 Mars? That's just something i've heard.

Vox Obscura is a modified version of the D1 mars map, yeah. The outdoor parts are inherited with some exits cut off, the underground part is new. I'm not sure if the unused parts of the outdoors are present, someone's probably gone OOB exploring though

Just a few of the Cabal placeables they’ve continued to use AFAIK.

I want to play the Phogoth Strike again, easily most memorable Strike for me.

Wish regular Strikes gave better rewards, gets kind of boring after doing the weekly nightfall a few times. I wouldn't mind doing a bunch of random ones though.

What if they just put all the vaulted Strikes and Crucible Maps into the game? Would that be good?


I reject the notion of "D1 Content = vaulted" so I mean specifically the stuff that was in D2 until they removed it from D2

Strikes are fun I'd love more. Hell give me strikes that are literally just unrelated stand alone missions. Just make up scenarios that the guardians got up to one time that wasn't even super important. We just raided a Red Legion armory, or cleared out a hive infestation on Nessus or something. gently caress it, whatever.

Edit: I think the only argument against "add more maps for a game mode" is "I don't play that game mode and therefore it wastes time on things I, me, personally, want" which is always a dead end argument.

Go for it, honestly.

Not that I think they ever will but I wouldn’t mind the D1 strikes back either for the most part.
