Eh for raid gear I couldn’t care less, same with powerful gear, but making it so people could get trials guns without playing a single match was an enormous mistake

For it to have been a mistake it would have needed to make the game worse or unbalanced.

Who cares if thumbless timmy gets a kickass trials gun. :shrug:

i think removing activity specific items from the clan rewards was a bad idea but i think there should be "tiers" of activity guns so wellfare engrams don't have access to the full pool. it kinda incentivizes people to go "got this neato raid AR maybe if i participate in a raid i can get more stuff!"

Yeah, that's good design.

I'd be fine with messing with perks too like they did in D1. Scrub tier gets a decent gun that does good work, lighthouse tier one operator dudes get a god roll setup.

I should've specified that I don't even care about the gear, it's more that if you make people actually play it for the gear there might actually be some population to speak of. That also brings in a lot of lower skill players that refused to play because their clan got them the gun and they never had to play a match. It absolutely did make the game worse.

I am a lower skill player and I avoid trials because it's not fun, not because I got the guns. :v:

Q. If I stash an Arc, Solar and Void Uriel’s Gift now I can keep it going into Forsaken and wint be forced into (as an example) 3 of them all having Arc?

Assuming everything works as intended (and that no one forgot to update me upon my glorious return from vacation)

Greg: For Uriel’s yes. But not for the guns we make Kinetic. And don’t get too attached to your EP weapon damage types...

Q. Does this also apply to Y2 guns? So if Rahool drops me a solar Clever Reference, all future Clever Reference drops will also be solar?

All weapons, starting September 4th, will be locked to a specific damage type and there will be no way to change them moving forward. Exotic behaviors found on things like Borealis and Hard Light will remain unchanged.

Hi I'm back playing this terrible game again.

Pubbies still real bad at pvp, came off a year long break and a break in my thumb and killed lots. If you aren't playing this game with a super scuf, bone elite or m/kb you doin it wrong.

Looking forward to random loot from Destiny 2: Bungie has Forsaken Destiny 2 for Destiny 1.

Or alternately, Destiny 2: Cayde-6 died for Bungie's sins.

Was talking about PVP. Warlocks are totally fine in PVE.
I stand by my statement that Warlock Supers are subpar in the Crucible. Going Palpatine can't be beat in PVE but the second you use it in crucible your a slowly wafting target whose main gimmick doesn't exist. Killing dudes in and enclosed area is done way better by Fisting or Staffing where you can jump around like a rabbit on speed tanking or dodging. The Nova Bomb is inferior for Super/Heavy canceling than the Golden Gun (Which gets multiple shots) or Tethers (Which create a long lasting no-go zone) and neither of which require you to kill yourself to get of a good shot. Dawnblades projectiles homing are nice, but it's impossible to miss with the hammer unless your one handed even if it didn't leave a big bonfire and putting yourself in the air just makes you an easy target while the hammer gives you a bajillion armor.

what does that last one mean? i can't tell if that means 'all uriels gifts as well as all y2 weapons will be arc or whatever' or whatever or 'there will be no way to get different elements for y1 weapons come y2'

It sounds like he's saying there are 3 possible things that could happen:

-If you have an energy weapon in your vault, and it's still an energy weapon in Y2, it will become locked to the element that is currently installed. You will not be able to change the element because mods don't do that any more but it will stay at what it was the moment they transitioned the game to Y2.

-If you pull a new copy of a Y1 energy weapon out of the collection, it will always come with the same element. They're going through all the weapons and assigning elements to each of them so for example all new Uriel's will be arc. Again, you will not be able to change this.

-If you have an energy weapon in the vault, and as part of the Y2 gear redesign it has been changed to a kinetic weapon, then it no longer has any element and just does kinetic damage.

Two tokens and a blue make a lot more sense for Clan Engrams, unlike everything they're used for now. One token for the given activity, one rando token, and a blue engram. Not rewarding, but it helps the low rungs flesh out their thin library of gear.

I took the last comment to be a hint that Ikelos shotgun will be kinetic, which means it will actually do even more damage to unshielded enemies but sadly won’t boop. Melting point shotgun unload will still slaughter though so that’s something.

It means what you have now if its remaining energy will remain the element it is when it resets.

All future versions will be pulled as a locked element.

If ikelos shotgun is remaining elemental I would advise everyone to make theirs void. If they lock future ones to something else it'll be dps king with a boop for gambit.

I thought that too but they showed in the preview a mans using ikelos and a better devils.

Unless I'm wrong on the slot changes but i thought it was still

Kinetic
Energy
Heavy

With shotguns, breech nades and snipers falling into all thred at various points ?

it's kind of confusing. i think i saw weapons in slot 1 with elements that also used special ammo, and elemental weapons in slot 2 that used kinetic.
