Its satisfying when my erentil bolts do 55 damage each

It's also satisfying when they do 35 and the poopsocking rear end in a top hat I'm shooting still gets vaporized.

I got that dumb quest done in 18 matches or aboit 3 hours. The hardest part was finding a match and not getting booted to orbit.

The last iron banner quest was wayyyyy loving worse

Yeah this one honestly isn’t bad at all. The last one though...

Strikes are my second least favorite activity in the game, barely beating out the horror that is gambit.
Gambit weapons have probably my favorite aesthetic of all the activity rewards, and I've resigned myself to never getting any of them because of how tedious I find actually playing Gambit.

The near elimination of eververse engrams is pretty funny. They went hardcore on wanting people to buy silver. One every five levels is a huge reduction over last season.

I can't get mad about it though. It's all ugly cosmetic poo poo and without confident strut being a possibility there's nothing to get excited about.

I just wish dismantling all the garbage still gave you some bright dust.

IDGAF how the overall numbers for dismantling for bright dust vs. bounties for bright dust compare, but opening a one-every-5-levels Engram, getting pure garbage, and only getting a few shards back is just boring. At least when it was a crap exotic sparrow I got the joy of “sweet, an extra 500 dust!”

I mean seriously why do people do strikes, you do 15 minutes of a tedious repetitive badly designed mission to maybe earn a purple that won’t be better than what you’ve already got equipped and tokens to get another purple every so often that definitely won’t be better than what you already have and with crucible ten minutes win or lose have a shitload of purples and two different currencies for really good gear

Destiny doesn't feel like much of a PvP thing for me! Maybe once in a while, you know.
Also I gotta do strikes to get paradox amplifiers duh

It's a smart system. Pvp gives Power and excellent loot for Pve. Pve gives materials and excellent loot for pvp. And also gambit exists

I’ve got too many open quests to keep up with the main story at this point. Is there something in the campaign after handing over the wiffle ball to Eris in “Beyond”? She took it and told me to go away, so I did.

In the narrative, the next step there was someone doing the raid. That led to the vex invading the moon, which Ikora responded to by starting construction on whatever is next to her in the Tower. Eris is continuing to analyze the artifact, it’s supposedly the source of her weekly lore cards. But the initial setup campaign is over, now it’s weekly stuff and waiting for a new twist.

I like that they have manpower to dedicate to ikora's crazy plan that probably could have been implemented on all the existing vex gates we have access to on Venus, Mars, or Nessus.

But they don't have manpower to send up to the old tower and repair it.

Also they don't give these workers any safety equipment, they're just out there welding beams with nothing but their balance keeping them from splattering into the city 1000 meters below.

I think it’s great and not stupid as poo poo that I can get a moon bounty to kill Hive in the Hellmouth, an area that’s supposedly a hole full of Hive, and then spawn like, five total in the area so I get to run around ineffectively for half hour. Feels like Destiny 1 with the absolute refusal to spawn enemies.

There's some over by where the wizard public event spawns and if you go down into the tunnel towards the circle of bones there's a bunch and they still count. You don't have to just be at surface level.

My highlights

Striker Nerf -
Tuned the amount of Super energy returned per kill
Reduced amount returned possible per kill from 15% to 13% (before diminishing returns)
Reduced the low end of the diminishing returns from 5% to 3.25%
Changed the kills for the diminishing returns by splitting them out between players and combatants
Previously it was 15 kills. Now it is 14 combatant kills or 7 player kills (players count for 2X towards diminishing returns)
Cost of light attack in super increased by 50% from 2% to 3%
Regeneration on kill no longer procs on super kills

Shoulder Charge
We’ve removed a bug that allowed players to shoot immediately before activating shoulder charge, which allowed players to apply the 1-2 Punch damage buff to shoulder charge.

"We have our eye on One Eyed Mask – expect a change in a future update."

Fixed a bug that increased loading times for gear preview while in space flight.

Phantasmal Core stack cap raised from 3 to 999

:siren: at the start of next season there will be broad-category mods for both the ammo finder and ammo scavenger categories, and they will be automatically unlocked for all players (no need to hunt them down!). This should help round out your builds more easily, and give you more options for tinkering with your ammo no matter what armor energy type you use. We’re also working on some broad category ammo capacity mods, but those need some more work before they’re ready for primetime.

We’re also going to be lowering the energy costs of some of the armor mods to better reflect the value of an enhanced mod.
outstanding

In the 2.6.1 patch, coming later this month, armor mods will be visible in your Collections, allowing you to browse through all the possibilities and see which ones you have already collected. Additionally, starting next season, the armor mod Collections will get a UI upgrade, allowing them to display armor energy type and cost on the icon, just like they do in your armor socket.
