True. That's my biggest issue, but mostly because I'm spoiled from better devils.

Looking forward to finishing mida so I can feed it to nameless tonight.

Weapon commentary:

A TIER

Nameless: good against trash mobs, players and boss. weakness: low ammo.
Origin Story: good against trash mobs, players and boss. weakness: need kills.
Sunshot: great agains trash mobs, so-so against players or boss. weakness: none
Play of the Game: good against yellow mobs and trash. weakness: low ammo, no love for grenade launchers
Uriel, Solemn Hymn, The Number: good against trash mobs, players and boss. weakness: none
Wardclick: excellent against yellow enemies, so-so against hordes, kind of bad against boss (YMMV). weakness: most rockets never hit anything and the ones that hit do poor damage
Better Devils: I have not played much with it. weakness: It don't paint people screen green while slowly deleting them like a good handcanon
Last Hope: good against trash mobs, yellow mobs... many bullets weakness: lower damage than alternatives, kind of situational

I am sure theres better weapons out there. Excited to find them now that faction are unlocked.

B TIER

Coldheart: lazers!, weakness: low ammo
Rat king: mostly subaverage damage and perk that rarelly do anything, could be some random hunter best friend... somewhere. weakenss: low damage
Fighting lion: fun idea unpractical in actual use, weakness: 1 grenade in the mag, low damage
The Prospector: yay!, weakness: Play of the Game already do most of what the Prospector do, withouth taking a exotic slot. The problem with grenade launchers is the grenade hitbox is too small, the bounces to big, don't seems to have proximity explosion.
Halfdan-D: good damage, good mag, good punch. weakness: low damage (I know I said good damage, but is a low rate of fire weapon so is both good damage per bullet and low DPS overall).

What AR do you guys prefer for shadow realm? I've been using the raid AR as it has good stability and ammo reserves, and it leaves me free to use coldheart in my energy slot.

Is it intentional to spawn into the Tower by Ikora? It's happened like 3 times in a row now. :)

I had this happen to me! And also this weird thing where I'd get teleported to the Bazaar entrance if I talked to Suraya while she had more than one Clan Engram backlogged for me after backing out of her screen.

In my humble opinion Origin story / Coldheart kind of make sense. Maybe Uriel /Numbers /Solem.

I never go to the shadow realm because is full of holes and jumps,and I die very quickly.

I was just thinking about origin story for quickly downing skulls. My last run I used nameless midnight and it seemed to be surprisingly good, but I ran with a great group so I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't performing.

I did it a couple times with both and favour scathelock. Almost identical statwise but with a bunch of quality of life improvements like HCR, better recoil pattern and the option of more zoom.

A bug obviously. I think when you finish a meditation you're supposed to teleport right back to Ikora, but it feels like Bungie's matchmaking can't make sure an incoming player owns a spawn point, so the game gives it to someone else sometimes.

My thought was that it's some kind of spawnpoint overflow. Sometimes I spawn into the tower with like 10 other people at the same time.

There are lots of times in the shadow realm where you get a few seconds where nothing in particular is happening, use this time to look downfield and align yourself so there's nothing between you and the next place you get sucked to.

I think my rat King quest is bugged. It is saying Completed 2/3 which should mean that I need to do Crucible with a fireteam of at least 1 other player. I did a bunch with a friend last night who is also on the quest still though he only needs the Nightfall under 5 minutes part. I am seeing other people complain about this happening to them but no solution. Anyone have this happen to them and know how to fix it?

got the Pliades scout rifle from FWC and drat it's stylish. Not only does it look sweet as gently caress but Rampage on a scout rifle....loving yes please. Unfortunately now I have to choose between this, 756, Nameless Midnight, Tone Patrol, and Skyburner's Oath lol. Can't help but think I've been lucky to get showered with the best scout rifles over everything else. Helps that some are kinetic and some aren't so I guess I'll just distribute them among the 3 classes.

Still kind of lean towards Nameless Midnight being the best due to those explosive bullets having such a bigger aoe. Now I can be lazier when aiming.

Nameless midnight has been replaced for me by the Manannan SR4 energy scout rifle. It's the same archetype as the FWC scout but has explosive bullets and lightweight frame for better mobility.

Theres even a map on the internet, and the "maze" is not complex at all. And is always the same.

The real problem is that I am bad at videogames, so I stay in the real world where theres more room for mistakes.

Rat King steps are 3 patrols, 2 public events, 2 crucible, NF with 5 mins remaining

If you're 2/3 done, it looks like you're still on the patrols step.

I could happily eat this reason/narrative. "Destiny 2 is having so much success, is generating more trafic/load than the server structure can cope for". That would explain about 60% of what I see. For the other 40% I don't think explain it.

I hopped on for half an hour this morning (UK time, which would have been very early morning in most of the US ) when things should in theory have been fairly quiet and still had the tower jank (noone appearing for a while), so yeah didn't seem like it was server load. My favourite tower glitch is fast travelling back to the spawn in the tower and most of the time, for a couple of seconds, my camera starts following a random character as if it were me, before I transmat in. Also I had a glitchy vibrating hawk, but I treat that as a feature rather than a bug. That said, tower jank since the last update aside it's been really stable for me since launch.

I use the raid AR in my primary slot (hits the Psions just fine), Prosecutor in my energy slot, and Merciless. I also run War Rig on my Titan, so my DPS is kinda crazy, without Coldheart!

When you hit 280 you can start rolling the dice on legendary mods, and that will eat up your glimmer fast. Applying shaders to ships and sparrows is pretty costly too.

I think you have to be on the same step of the quest. So if he's on NF but you need public events it doesn't count. When I got RK (from doing week 1 NF and not Enemy of My Enemy :psyduck: ) I did patrols w/buddies but they didn't tick.

It costs a little when you apply mods and shaders and some of the NPCs sell some odds and ends (who and what could be considered spoilers I guess) but beyond that it doesn't seem to do much and there's no need to save it up or anything.

Edit: ^^^ didn't know the legendary mods cost that much as I'm not 280 yet :( But you go from 0 to the cap fairly fast just running around doing stuff so still probably never much of an issue.
