Going Home.

Games Idiot Court Jester

So what's the actual new user flow now? Is it just Guardian Rises and Cosmodrome and straight to Europa and embracing the Darkness? Not much of a big choice for them if they've been up for like twenty minutes lol

Do levels still exist or is it all just light now? Not that it maters.

hosed up that when something negatively affects the players it goes unaddressed for who knows how long but when players find ways to bypass the grind the devs swoop in as soon as possible.
I see this complaint time and time again across various games and various forums as if different bugs are equally difficult to address. Fixing bugs can take minutes or months depending on the complexity/severity, and things like drop tables and enabling/disabling weapons may not even require actual code changes.

Can't Lose


Is Traveler's Chosen gone-gone or would I be able to obtain it from the exotic vendor thing in BL?

I played D2Y3 less with each passing season and did barely anything in Arrivals. Have not purchased the expansion yet but did the first intro quest on Europa tonight and was reminded of how beautiful this game is, but then got a little depressed at how onerous the grind felt with those seasonal journeys in Shadowkeep and the reviews on Steam/Reddit are not doing a lot to help me feel like that part of the game that drove me away is going to be any better in Year 4.

Is there a reason I found an insanely fast vandal tagged as a boss in the cosmodrome? Took forever to kill at 1210 and didn't drop anything. Found them in the like, north east area, kinda near the hive lost sector. Destiny 1 thing?

Put the exotic ak back in Bungie

I saw someone speculate maybe we'll get a whisper/zero hour style mission this season since those two are gone, and there's no dungeon this season, particularly given that we only know of 2 seasonal exotics.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.


I have t even started playing this expansion yet and yeah that looks completely broken. Especially the tracking on the ice trails that freeze people nearby. And that’s a melee ability? Serious there’s no way they could’ve play tested this.

Their actual goal was probably to follow a strat they often use at the beginning of new expansions, where they first introduce just way, way off-balance powers so players fee “op” and once players fall for that and get hooked they roll it all back two months later. Player retention remains high because we’re all invested in the grind game by then so we just learn to live w it. It’s just likely that they went too overboard with it this time.

You can actually make gear look like other gear of the same type in that game. Hopefully Bungie's transmog system will be halfway decent when it comes out.

There's typically been a delay of 1 season before they've shown up otherwise for the last couple of seasons, so I'd assume TC will show up next season on the tower exotic vendor, Heir Apparent and 4th Horsie being the addition to the Shadowkeep options that werren't available in Arrivals as they were the exotics from Worthy.

Stasis is fine in PvP. It's no more broken then spectral or nova warp imo

I was in that 6 stack running stasis, and it was loving absurd. We mercied every game.

It's not balanced... but that's whatever. I don't play destiny pvp to sweat and tryhard. I guess just roll around with OP poo poo for a while like the lord of wolves thing or the broken Prometheus Lens.

Haven't had time to video game lately so I only did the first auto-loading story mission of the new content.

I'm going to ignore the new content and bum around on EDZ & the centaur doing whatever content until I hit softcap. Then I'll pick up the new stuff. Which I preordered on day 1 I don't know how long ago lol

Don't know where I'm going with this. Thanks for listening / putting up with me.

yeah i hit 1200 on main by doing campaign, a few public events as I found them, the post-campaign missions and some general exploring and loving around especially the golden chests

It sounds like a lot but like, it's stuff you're doing anyway? and then when I was all done I moved on to gambit/strikes/crucible for the powerfuls

awake in parking car (solo mission), then a few tutorial-y missions based on the awake rasputin quest, then the cosmodrome give you the bike, then you can visit the tower.

most of the missions are simple and
designed to learn one thing

also are simple and a bit boring if you are vet but well done - we get to see a witch kill a guardian

~~~~~~~~~

about stasis
only two things are universal in gaming:
- players hate to lost control of his character
- gamers like to see numbers go up

stasis is going to be nerfed in pvp, but people will only be satisfied when is removed - even 0.5 seconds will be too much for many people

With all that refugee stuff we had over the last few years, I got a mild chuckle out of the fact that after the "Season of Arrivals", in which something resembling an oven gave us missions to "eradicate the darkness" (unsuccessfully as it seems), the new mission is to "Reclaim Europa"...

So Europa Enforcer 3 isn’t counting power weapon kills for me for some reason (the purple variks mission).

Also it’s really funny to me that they changed the prestige leviathan achievement but not the seal triumph achievement that still only includes the Forsaken seals.

I have a quest to kill 10 Nightfall Champions with Stasis Damage. How da gently caress am I supposed to do that lol

All 3 of us were staring at each champion, waiting for a teammate to do the Stun so we could be the one to pop super and kill it

There really isn't any good source of Stasis Damage other than the super, is there? For dropping a big fat champion in a hurry?

You could use the Stasis Grenade Launcher...lol, that does basically no damage at all. I just got that quest, considered it for a minute and then abandoned it. Figured she might give me another one instead. Nope. Wait till next week idiot.

From the corner of my eye it looked like a glove or something, could be totally wrong though.

Any idea where to check if i accidently got some "triumph reward" or something like that?
