You get like 8-12 per purple shader depending on the rarity. Although some purple shaders give you glimmer, like the iron banner shaders.

So I really like the design style of all the Veist guns but they all seem real bad, anyone found one that is remotely good?

https://www.destinypedia.com/Veist


Fast search shows quickfang is surprisingly a veist knife. which is most heralded sword in game.

Gun wise:

Rattler is at least comparable sort of to last hope/stand (11th hour is ranged variant if you signed up dead orbit or got one to drop) if you tap em close and fast.

Death Adder straight up owns as smg goes.

Scorpion scout model looks cool.

Widows bite sniper I thought was a Banner gun- still sold it. Scope on it sucks.

So basically no, besides one smg standout Veist isn't good from what I've seen. But that smg is super legit.

The auto veist guns are bad and look bad on your screen too.

Seen man o war posted about a few times in this thread but I can't comment. Never seen it.

E: tarantula is also not good.

It was sorta fun to punch a psion and then just go full auto on some triangles and Psions, though. Triangle Man is a much less boring role now.

100% this, the game had a lovely sheen on it at release and the only stand out rough spot was 4vs4. Then as we finished the campaign and found end game to be nothing but terrible loving rng duplicate spamming slot machine token system smeared in the stink of our worst fears about pvp coming true. gently caress how lazy Bungie are because now we have to wait for the expansions to hopefully fix what should have never been broken in the first place.

It's because aside from the pvp and the changes in PvE as a result, which are divisive at best and bad as hell imho, Bungie made a lot of good decisions. The problem is they didn't make the next level decisions based on those.

Ex:

Good: ensuring a smooth light level progression for both casuals and hardcore players via weekly milestones
Bad: not supplementing this with meaningful activities for hardcore players to engage in throughout the week that "progresses" a character cosmetically

Good: guns, the primary means of interacting with enemies and players, aren't hidden behind activities that could snowball a skill advantage (like say, an adept blind perdition)
Bad: replaced by cosmetics, which are for all we have seen less dynamic and interesting than D1 cosmetics

The good decision shine, and then the second kewl bad decision creep up on you as you keep playing.


The icing on the cake is the interface and QoL stuff that's a step back from D1, and even if it wasn't a step back is just embarrassing in an AAA title. That's just a "gently caress you" from Bungie lol.

Like, where's the loving quest log? Why can't I replay quests? Why can't I see how many steps in I am? Why do exotic quests act like loving vanilla exotic bounties again? Why did they go out of their way to add that poo poo a year into D1 and then go "nah" this time?

Edit: it reminds me of Dark Souls. DS2 added a ton of cool new poo poo, like Y2/3 of Destiny. Then DS3 rolls around and you're like okay, where's that cool poo poo? Oh this is built on the DS1 code base so all of that poo poo is gone.

Yeah me and a bunch of workmates got 2 together, hoping to all get hooked again just like we were in Taken King. We played the poo poo out of that most nights for 2-3 months solid, whereas this one, me and one other guy still jump on once a week or so to do a few milestones and chat but just can't be arsed to do much more. Everyone else has drifted off a bit. Personally I hated the raid as well, which definitely didn't help in terms of retention. I can't even be bothered to finish it off one more time to get my Legend of Acrius upgrade quest done. By the way, does getting that fully completed let you put it in the vault/swap it to other characters or do I have to do the whole questline again on my hunter to ever use it on him in multi?

Isn't that just story missions?

You can replay story missions through Ikora (but on a rotation), Adventures through the planet vendors, but you can't replay each planet's post-campaign quest chain.

Not that they were particularly worth replaying.

Once you complete it, it gets added to your collection like every other exotic. You can swap it around or just make more.

Supposedly the first DLC is December based on some leaked marketing materials. They won't have the time for meaningful changes. In all likelihood major overhauls will be next September when a major expansion will presumedly drop.
