Oh god you just made me realize the Wyvern battleground will be in the strike playlist. The last thing we needed was another disaster of a Nessus mission in there, Exodus Crash is enough already.

Yeah Nessus is becoming excessively featured in playlists (four strikes, 50% of battlegrounds, 25% of gambit maps, two crucible maps) relative to how boring and completely irrelevant to the story it is

That dastardly Xur is selling the previewed weapons from Tuesday, but the rolls are now substantially worse. Punishment from Bungie for being early looky-loos!

If Xur's fated engram just gave me a dupe armor piece, does that mean I have every single random-drop exotic available to me? Or could I still have unobtained weapons?
The exotics collection page is useless for figuring this out if you don't own all the dlc since it doesn't say which ones are unobtainable for you.

Xur will never drop dlc-only exotics that you don’t already have. Which pieces are you missing/hoping to get?

Exotic armors from this year have to be obtained from LLSs before they'll be in the random drop pool.

I wasn't sure if weapon-dupe and armor-dupe were on separate pools or the same one.
I'll start cracking those open on a different class now I guess.

This, or at least us give us a Sagira pack, so we can have a sassy Ghost who is far superior to the nervous thing we are stuck with now.

I believe they killed off Sagira entirely because of voice actor availability issues.

Morena Baccarin is in the big leagues now

It's a mistake some studios keep on making over and over and over, they make these big tentpole games, hire some ludicrous VA talent, then wonder why they can't keep them on tap. Bungie keeps learning this lesson the hard way. They have re-voiced multiple main characters now.

It is an absolute wonder they have managed to keep hold onto Lance Reddick for so long. I actually think Zavala dies soon, the budget is probably pretty massive.

Lance Reddick loves the role he'll never quit. Everyone else they've replaced is basically an actor they brought on because whoever was in charge of voice direction wanted to make a game with the cast of Firefly and had the unlimited budget of one of the biggest game publishers in the industry backing them.

I want more abilities, more magic powers and more flashy poo poo in my Destiny, not less. The abilities are fun as hell. I feel like this focus on the guns is a bad idea. Just because a couple has been overpowered in the past (looking at you rally barricade & shatterdive) doesn't mean you have to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I don't get the Shatterdive hate, honestly. Like, if that had been a number of other grenades, you'd be just as dead, and the Shatterdive took an extra cooldown (admittedly not much of one) but also the Hunter to be close to you.

So you better go back to your bars, your temples
Your massage parlors!

It reminds me of when Handheld Supernova was broken in crucible but at least that was a stylish kill. Shatterdive is imbecilic. it doesn't feel great to kill with it. and it sucks having a standoff with a stasis hunter who may or may not have it off cd.

my body is a temple to an idiot god
It is funny to throw an arc grenade on the ice as you jump backwards out of the way tho.

95% of the time I get dived because I wasn't paying attention to a leaping hunter when I know full well what's going to happen. Oddly enough time to go ffs idiot and yet not enough to stop it happening!

Throwing stasis grenades in gravlifts is also one of the few bits of fun left in strikes.

Those nerfs had better be PvP only, doing broken things with abilities in PvE is the best part of the game.

Without changing anything in PvE, just make every weapon and ability deal 1 damage in PvP.

It can one shot supers (like basically every Titan super), it gives you damage reduction when you use it, it regens its own energy, it makes it very difficult to challenge a hunter close range because they can do it to you without LoS and also most grenades don't one shot you.

Even without shatterdive, the freeze CC effect from stasis grenades is a de facto oneshot in pvp since the grenade's owner can just click you to death while you can't move.

Freeze shouldn't exist in pvp. Losing control of your character is the most unfun thing to put in a pvp mode and it's silly Bungie has gone over a year letting it stay in.

Freeze in pvp should all be delayed effects like duskfield grenades currently are. Your screen starts turning blue and you have X seconds to shoot the enemy gamer dead before you stop moving.
Supers can instant freeze i guess, it's not like that's any stronger than every other super instakilling you

Shatterdive is definitely OP because it lets me get like 10 kills per game instead of 2. I’ll continue to abuse it until it’s worthless.
