so like dismantle some purples. If you're not level 20 and not getting purples then I dunno. Don't sweat it he'll be back.

unless this ends up being a g-horn type situation...

I have two purples and three exotics... Should be able to finish the campaign today, but I work weekends. :(

I missed out on the icebreaker and ghorn last game... Didn't get either until well past RoI.

What Do Guardians Do When They're Not Saving the Solar System? by Ember Hadad, Senior Editor at the City Herald When I started my research for this piece, I expected to find that Guardians, when not waging war against alien invaders with mysterious paracausal powers, were not too different from their fellow citizens of the Last City. Readers, I was wrong. Guardians dance a lot more than we do. "That's pretty much all they do, when I see them," says Park Soo-Yin, a maintenance worker in the Guardian headquarters. "Just dance. Sometimes in groups, sometimes all alone." "Sometimes they kind of dance 'at' each other, if you know what I mean," Vanguard technician Kweku Aglah confirms. "I feel like I'm watching the nature channel."

looks cool

boss has some neat mechanics, great visuals, cool arena

spoiler stuff:

I didn't see the start so I dunno lol

there's a platforming section. Platforms pop up one at a time, but you can only have one person on at a time or they'll fall. You gotta conga line your way, not taking too long because the ones at the end will fall eventually.

a bunch of adds. I dunno if there's more to that.

A sweet man-cannon turbo launcher ride into a bunch of floating rocks and vex architecture.

Boss' first phase kind of reminds me of Axis phase 1. The area is a circle around a central point. There are three charge points in a triangle- arc solar void. "vex craniums" spawn randomly around, take them to the charge up point to get a laser in that colour. Crystals in random elements spawn on the middle structure- you gotta call out what kind to know what guns to charge, then break them. If you're not fast enough it's a wipe. Do that a few times to win. Lots of adds and movement.

Second phase is similar. 3 orbs of random elements will spawn. There will be a... hole? near to one of the charge stations. Shooting the orbs with the lasers moves them to the hole. Get all three in at once to make an opening in the boss' shields to DPS.

Occasionally the boss will drop his shields and start charging up a big wipe attack. There are glowing weak spots on him- I think you gotta destroy matching pairs- so like left and right arms or w/e to stop the attack. You can also damage the boss here if you have time? I missed the ending so I dunno if there's more to it


Seems very hectic and fun.

On the plus side, I see PvP laser tag matches completing quicker, so that means more tokens earned faster.

I don't know about you guy's but now that Xur gave it to everyone this new Lens PVP meta is the most fun I've ever had with D2. Everything is complete chaos and it is glorious. I weep knowing this won't survive through next week. It's hilarious that the only way Bungie could save their dead game by destroying it.

Gotta say, not ripping it out of Xur's inventory this week was a good move. It's too late to deal with it before Trials and canceling Trials again is a bad idea. If there's something this busted in the game and you plan to fix it, you may as well sell it to everyone so you don't have teams of 4x Lens ripping new cone holes in teams that don't have any.

It's basically a mayhem mode gun with the way it behaves currently. If everyone has one, it's a fun way to blow off some steam and enjoy a different vibe for a bit. It can't be the only way PvP plays, but it's a release valve that is sorely missing from D2.

Ok guys, I asked on Monday and you told me to come back Tuesday,

Beat the campaign and got my level up to 270 a month ago and haven't played since.

What's new?

Heard the new DLC sucks, but maybe reddit is being crybabies, I dunno. I got the Season Pass so I don't give a fuuuck

Reddit is definitely a bunch of crybabies and the dlc probably isn't the worst one in a vacuum (I'd put it 3rd out of 5 so far between Destiny 1/2). There's a few issues with D2's endgame grind once you've beaten all the content but since you're not even at that point yet I couldn't really say why you shouldn't continue - raiding is cool and fun.

Agreed, this was really cool and they need to do more of this and less 5 paragraph expositions on the nature of interpersonal relationships in destiny. Hope the big trials uptick does some good.

Still cant be bothered to even patch tbh but thats more about my issues with the game that are unlikely to ever be solved.
