Found my first ever bow while wandering around Io doing public events and poo poo to hit the weekly challenge. Now I'm just one-shotting all these enemies. This owns.

I personally vouch for any bow with firefly. And if you get it with firefly and explosive arrows, even better. Firefly in bows is like the original Fatebringer firefly, and not like the lame raid automatic rifle version.

I've been playing Destiny 2 without any of the DLC. Is matchmaking for the Nightfall strike only introduced if you buy any of the DLC? I tried Nightfall but it dropped me solo, I did not survive :S

Nightfalls are endgame activities so they don't have matchmaking.

You can use external lfg sites to find warm bodies to help you complete them, or join one of the many goon guilds.

We use to complete nightfalls by hidding below some stairs (or any other hole) while somebody was sniping mobs with a infinite ammo sniper. The current state of nightfalls are whatever, so you can ignore them. Nightfalls use to always give you a light upgrade and a good chance at a exotic weapon or armour. On the current state the name "nightfall" remains, but they are watered down to pure whatever.

Nothing is clear at the moment, what the lore people is posting is too open ended.

But I think theres the possibility that Savathun is not a enemy. Savathun aims not at devouring the universe, but to a economy of secrets.
Not a enemy and not a friend. A figure like Loki.

Unlike Loki, Savathun have a very definitive source of power, and is secrets. Problem is, hoarding secrets turn you into a target, has you quickly find hard to store secrets safely. So Savathun explored the possibility of using black holes to store them. Black holes affect time, slowing down time near the horizont of events. You can accumulate a lot of information in a black hole. Savathun urge to find solutions of these problems is based on the hunger of her internal worm, always growing and the cause of her downfall. Savathun basically needs vex technology to survive. And then, she received Quria.
And from that point, things get weird, because when you start using simulated universes, is a waste to ask what is real or not. That kind of kill any narrative you can build.

I think that the team that was harvesting people for space energy to power their nightmare engines is pretty firmly in the "shoot for loot" category

Unrelatedly I like how a lot of the little mini-stories are about Fallen integrating with guardians and the Awoken forming fireteams together. Maybe we can go through the Queensfall raid as a Fallen. :v:

e: I feel really dumb for not realizing until right now when I'm pretending to be working that I should be using my long-range shotgun that's almost perfectly stable with grave robber and threat detector with Skullfort and Storm Fist so I can get around it's shitawful reload times.

Why people don't masterwork their weapons? playing withouth masterworks weapons in Gambit is like you want to handicap yourself and your team. Ligh orbs = supers, most people don't understand that.

Because some us didn't start forsaken with a giant scrooge mcduck pile of orbs, they made it where you only can get a handful a day, and you constantly need them if you want to keep any of the weapons you like?

You can keep three weapons at your highest light without a ton of stress. Buy a ten mark shard from spider every day, then stock up on destination resources and get rankups on the Y1 planets. It's totally a stupid grind but you can offset the cores lost somewhat quickly.

Masterworking stuff sucks rear end though.

Do you coordinate via slack? I usually solo queue and got matched into 4 5-stacks in a row with lunas last night and it was miserable. Would love to hop in on crucible parties, as I'm trying for the broadsword this season.

It was a huge problem in D1 too and Forsaken is basically D1: Redux so you gotta take the bad with the good.

D1 only had tower and reef, and generally the reef bounties were right before you did a specific 3 person activity. I think they also had the bounty bot duped in the reef.

This is by far the worst it's ever been and it's retarded.

It takes 20 minutes just to grab everything when you log on for the day

Guests in the tower don't fare well, did you see what happened to Eris' nook when the red legion bombed the place?

Or there was that time where they forced her to stand next to her ship on that platform above (what would be come) Tess' kiosk.

Having to go to each destination for unique bounties is a cool idea that completely ignores the painful reality of a five minute loading screen for every area.

The loading wouldn't be that bad if the performance didn't also tank with Forsaken. There's also more graphical issues my group has noticed, like that texture stretching yesterday.

Wasting people time in a MMO is not a bug, is a feature.
More time walking long corridors, is the longer you will be in the game buying stuff.

But the load times on consoles... thats actually something they need to work to optimize. It don't looks like intended wasted time, but unintended one.
Loading the inventory of my character in a PS4 Pro should not take the time it takes now.
