I shot the giant Servitor for the entire duration of the public even at 295 Light and got him to 15% HP before time ran out.

Probably could've done it with a purpose-built loadout, though. I had a Shotgun in the power slot.

That one I find pretty simple, I have an exotic Sniper and I just hit it a bunch in the eye then switch to my Scathelocke. Always get him.

Swords are fuckin' gross in pvp, any time i see someone who's good with them they usually end up with some insane efficiency score.

Do they not need power ammo or something? I swear some people are able to go the entire round using them, and seem to be using them right away even after they get killed.

They need power ammo to work but it only consumes a single unit per swipe. In terms of ammo per kill they are very efficient.

The raid sword has both the "Damage increases on consecutive swipes" and "gain ammo" perks. It's disgusting.

Also: spent a few hours today on raid boss. Fuuuuuck. It's not that hard, mechanically speaking, but the extremely low margin for error is really getting to me. Literally one mistake is a wipe, guaranteed, and once you've done the adds/DPS circuit twice it gets extremely irritating to mess up ONE TIME and have to restart. Plus, you get the all-too-eventual stupid death from the physics being weird, or something going wrong that you can't exactly control.

I can't get anyone to play against me. Last night I was kicking the ball around and someone finally came over, the first time he kicks the ball he gets it wedged against the tractor and fence next to the field and it took me a couple minutes to get it out and by that time he had left.

Also pro-tip, if you jump and land on the edge of the ball you can shoot it on a line instead of a big slow arch shot.

To be honest that seems like it applies to every encounter of this raid except for Baths maybe.

It's really a "The team is as experienced as the weakest member" raid. 6 people doing it on repeat can probably bang it out in 90 minutes. 5 pros and 1 newbie? Four, five hours, easy.

Someone was saying that a cool way to do Calus is only send two guys out of the shadow realm and get your skulls sky high. One team one-phased him in four plates. It also means the shadow realm crew gets the easiest version to maximize room for error. I definitely want to try that with my group.

Oh wow this is a dope idea if the team has good enough base DPS.

Took it into Quickplay. Got a few difficult kills, switched back to Vigilance Wing for easy breezy 3 bursts. It feels solid in pve, and maybe I need to give it more time in pvp to get a better grip on it, but I don't think this is a meta maker. Slow fart.

I updated my weapon browsing tool for Destiny 2 today:

https://xzzy.org/projects/weapontoy/

It's a revision one, all the cool color highlighting I used to have isn't working because I had to do all that manually and haven't done it yet for destiny 2 stats.

The gun list seems small, but by eyeballing the database, about a third of the manifest is still "classified" so there's probably a lot more Bungie will trickle out to us over time.

Rules.

Also, my FWC The Number auto is Classified so I think at least some of that may be Faction weapons we may get during the "Rally."

I can't stop playing this game. It's great and will be even better on pc soon.

My biggest complaint though is that the story is total non-sense garbo. And it stands out a lot more given how great the world building is in the game. I wouldn't be surprised if it is this way co's some big dick management had a genius idea over happy hour and no one had the balls to raise their hands and point that it makes zero sense. That or they have no one with a big picture view of the project with any clue.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

The last step of that is rough to solo, no doubt. If you didn't realize it's literally just sending you into the Nessus strike. I soloed it earlier today at 275, it's possible if you go carefully. It's also worth noting that you complete the quest in the room before the final boss of the strike, but the only indication is on the quest item in your kinetic weapon inventory, you don't get booted or anything.

I learned this the hard way and fought the strike boss solo for 2 hours until eventually beating it as Stormcaller with Arc Soul. Partway through I asked bone crew if I needed to beat the strike to get Strum, they said no and I proceeded to contiune soloing the strike boss just to see if I could.
Lessons learned: Never solo a strike boss, dont do the aformentioned boss by using the legendary gun thats tied to Strum.
