Heads up on this nightfall specifically, you get your real rewards a solid 30 seconds after the Chest opens Once you see "Platinum Rewards" in the activity feed, you've completed the mission. If you're going to orbit right after picking up the blue that comes out of the dead boss chest, you're not getting your rewards. Rewards are also poo poo for anything below a 1250

here's a question i've been pondering: why does season of the hunt exist? europa has a ton of repeatable questing and endgame grinding to do. season of the hunt is one (1) activity that sucks that requires grinding playlists, which only lost content this expansion. why the gently caress didn't they just give europa 3 months to breathe without season of the hunt, then launch that alongside a new pvp map or two (by new i mean probably from d1) and maybe even another returning strike and (gasp) a gambit map? 3 months probably not enough time but hell i'd even take a longer wait beyond light is totally worth $40. you'd have to pay me to engage with season of the hunt, and i am mad i got the dumb collectors edition (normally i'd say "greed and fomo-based engagement" except the fomo part is supposed to go away this year, isn't it?)

Because Hunt is the "season" content and BL is the annual expansion. Next season, Hunt is gone but BL will stick around forever (or until it gets Vaulted). They probably should have pushed Hunt to next season and just made BL bigger, but it's a little late for that. They did the same thing with SK last year and whatever the Undying season was called.

yeah, Season of the Undying is what went alongside Shadowkeep, it was Vex invasions + Vex Offensive. Season of the Hunt feels like it's basically just supposed to be post Europa story/the segue into events that will follow through the other seasons? Sort of how like blowing up the vex mind in Undying kicked off stuff on Mercury with the Sundial / Infinite Forest? Content-wise, it really feels like they should have done more with it. Given they did all the sunsetting, you really think they could have done a little better then like, 5 guns attached to the seasonal activity. (Particularly given they have a cool aesthetic) but there is certainly more to come - probably not as much as we want, but there's clearly going to be a Hunt Scanner 2 or whatever that lets us track Cabal hunts on EDZ or something, and it's all building to hunting down Xivu Arath or whatever so that will probably be it's own mission or something.

There's still a decent chance Season of the Hunt gets more content added to it as the season goes on, it's been going for less than a week.

I can't think of one thing I didn't like about Season of Arrivals. Events, guns, armor, exotics, story, everything was good. It's the bar every Season should aim for from now on.

Oxyclean posted:yeah, Season of the Undying is what went alongside Shadowkeep, it was Vex invasions + Vex Offensive. You don't aim to grind lures to go do hunts to get gear in a single isolated area, participating in the seasonal activity is extra grease for having done other stuff you were doing for fun anyways. "I did some nightfalls to unlock this aspect for my hunter, oh look, I earned two lures from the process, guess I'll turn those into items." If you weren't a complete nerd like me and didn't already hit the 1250 power cap, hunts could be used to fill in slots that were behind, power-wise. The items themselves aren't bad, either. Friction Fire, Deafening Whisper, and Blast Butt are all weapons I'd see myself using, while the scout is unique (the only non-sunset void scout rifle) and the linear fusion is, well, the only linear fusion that survives sunsetting past this season. I can't say much about the armor rolls - not sure if they've fixed the mod system yet, or if it hits high statroll armor.

As far as I'm aware they have backtracked on this since Y3. Seasonal activities will remain in some fashion throughout the entire year. I would expect this to mean that while the plot might move on like it did in Y3 you will always have the lure for hunts this year and can get gear from hunts the entire time.

I thought "Contact" was kind of weak. Better then Seraph Towers but i didn't really stick with it beyond what I was forced to do for weeklys/triumphs? I also wasn't hot on the weekly mission - I felt like the motivation to do it dropped off quick and there was some nuisances with it (stupid spongey shrieker boss) Grimegrams were an okay system, but a seriously annoying if you procrastinated sorting out what you should roll with them. I would really love a season where I just accrue a special, uncapped currency and then spend that at my leisure. The fact the lure caps at three charges this season is a similar annoyance. The second I hit 3, I feel like I need to drop what I'm doing and go spend one.

I’m under the impression that seasonal activities are sticking around this time around and will only be vaulted with Taken Queen. That said, Season of the Hunt leaves me with the impression seasons will be even more barebones this time around...hence why they’ll stick around.

Strobe posted:There's still a decent chance Season of the Hunt gets more content added to it as the season goes on, it's been going for less than a week. It's more than a decent chance... there absolutely will be more content. We saw, in marketing, that scene with Zavala, Osiris, and 2 Cabal Blood Guards. We know there is at least one additional quest, and we know Hawkmoon is coming. Datamining wise, there is a ton of content that is missing strings... Quests, Activities, and even parts of zones that exist in the game data and the data shows an entry into the string table for that content, but the entry in the string table doesn't exist. This is an extremely common way for bungie to protect future content from datamining. Bungie releases a patch to add these strings generally a few weeks before they go live. We know there is going to be a patch on Tuesday, and we know there will be a mid-season patch on Dec 15th, as most of the Dawning stuff is missing strings. Hawkmoon is also missing strings, so it probably wont be out before Dawning. Anyway, there is absolutely more coming, even before the upcoming patch. There are 2 more Exo Challenges, there are increased difficulty things, and there is atleast one more cutscene (although no guarantees when it plays, and I do not know what it is).

I'm actually pleasantly surprised with the two new scouts- royal chase the seasonal one, and the raid one. my royal chase rolled with full auto and and multi-kill clip, and seems pretty ok! though I haven't used it in tougher content. It's also got this wonderful meaty firing sound. my raid one rolled with opening shot and the new perk reconstruction- it slowly refills ammo, up to double (or was it 1.5?) the original capacity. It's also a rapid fire frame and feels nice to shoot. So basically I guess I like scouts that are secretly autos

Soooo if I’ve got all the world drop exotics now, dupe protection would mean I can delete one piece of exotic armour and buy an engram from Xur each week and be guaranteed it’s that one missing piece, right? As a returning player I’ve got plenty of ‘legacy’ exotics for which I need to farm moddable replacements with decent rolls!

That's not how it works, the dupe protection is only on exotics you haven't unlocked in collections. It doesn't care about your vault. It will stop giving you guns though.

No, as far as I know, dupe protection is about if you have it unlocked (in collection) or not. If you need an exotic you've gotten before you can just pull it from collection. If you need on with good rolls, well, get lucky.

After about 7 runs I got a Cloudstrike. It's a fun little gun, but I don't think anything is going to be replacing the Lament soon. That sword is just so loving brutal. I also realized that the block meter equates directly to the length you can have it revved and it only re-energizes when you have the sword out. Wish there was a mob that had enough HP so I can do a DPS check, because that time it takes to re-charge, while not terribly long, is long enough to chill out your DPS for a few. The guillotine might edge it out in a long term fight due to the ammo conservation and keeping whirlwind up, but in terms of burst damage nothing can match the lament right now.
