Getting bounties through the app is genuinely surprising, because the bounty acquisition grind seemed like an obvious design decision to inflate player engagement numbers/hours.

If that was never the case, then it's even crazier the type of stuff that Bungie focuses on instead of Quality of Life improvements like that.

Although, if remote bounty collection is only possible through the Bungie companion app (and not DIM, Braytech, etc.), maybe it's a push to move the player base towards using their app instead of 3rd party tools.

This is correct! Only using their app, and the functionality is locked unless you are Offline, in Orbit, or in the Tower (same parameters as using 3rd party tools to swap loadout)

It will save you a trip to the tower when you're all in Orbit and someone realizes they want bounties for the new activity, and/or when you want to pick up bounties at 8:59 right before reset but can't fire up the game

Just a heads up that Tresh is literally inactive in PvP. Killing wind slays though!

Recently Bungie decided that the term "Combatants" only means PvE. They had similar systems in D1 where some perks were only active against "Minions of the Darkness" but it's 2020 baby so stuff gotta be more confusing

They should have Minions of the Darkness again and have things apply to Dark Guardians and just not tell anyone that

It will be interesting to see if they release Prophecy at the same power level as before. Prophecy will drop Powerfuls and a Pinnacle upon completion, but if it's still at ~1050 LL then it will be as (relatively) trivial as Pit of Heresy, which Bungie removed Powerfuls/Pinnacles from.

This perk only works in PVE and that perk only works in PVP but we're going to balance the whole archetype based off who can do the most shots in the office on a Friday evening.

Don’t you have to be good at PVP to qualify something as good in PVP?

Legit can’t believe they actually did this.

There were tons of times last season where I literally didn’t play destiny because I didn’t want waste 15 minutes running around the tower to play PVP for 60.

It sucks it’s not available in DIM, but I’m positive it’s to prevent automation of bounty collection.

Having done Prophecy at power cap last season honestly it'd be fine give it's manual group activity that takes some semblance of coordination/communication. Much easier poo poo gives powerfuls and pinnacles already.

I'm really liking Sunshot, it's just all around a fun gun to use. Doesn't hurt that it's really good in both PvE and PvP.

I don't really have a good kinetic weapon to pair it with though.

I've actually found myself reverting to an old PVE loadout - Cerberus +1, the Ikelos sniper and a sword. This is kind of the "bad habit" loadout because the Cerberus +1 (once you've unlocked alt fire mode) sort of makes anything other than a sniper irrelevant while simultanously removing any aiming skill you may have developed.

Both sunshot and graviton are excellent second slot early D2 guns that should get used more because how fun they make clearing rooms.

They don't need much of a god roll to pair with. Keep an eye for an auto loading kinetic shotgun I guess or a nice smg for when stuff gets hairy up close.

It really is. Also worth running MG finder/scavenger mods since if you get plenty of ammo it's also great for emergency blocker deleting and general mob/boss damage.

Also it trivializes boss damage in wraithborn hunts. I know swords (particularly Lament) out damage it, but the bosses have really aggressive stomps so it's best to stay at range.

They said that Prophecy was not being vaulted, that was just taking a break due to a technical issue (they rewrote their scripting layer). They also promised that it would be back this (calendar) year in the exact same announcement where they said it was going away.

Normally I don't get on people for not reading tea leaves with dozens of TWABs about random bullshit, but this one was extremely clear as to why it was going away and when it was coming back. I do appreciate that it's going to be a Pinnacle activity.

yeah, personally, I thought they meant "year of content" not "calendar year," and figured we wouldn't see it until a couple seasons from now. happy they brought it back so quickly. does make up for the lack of a dungeon in this expansion (and, to be fair, you really can't fault that given the amount of other content they stuffed into Europa)

So what is Prophecy anyway, I missed the last several seasons. Is it one of the "Dungeons" I heard about at one point?

Let’s not forget we’re talking about a dev that released a new patch with an intentional 5 second stun in PVP, on a minute cool down.

It amazes me that Bungie is able to release anything at all with the decisions they often make.
