I mean, LL could be a problem in later missions if you're trying to go through with a 1350 set? But it's not hard to stay steadily ahead of what you get synced down to. E: Legend Campaign was great - I was a little worried going in since they were hyping up the difficulty in the vidoc, alluding to the days of Halo Legendary, but I think they might have also been talking about master mode?

Legendary Campaign kicked my keister solo but was deeply rewarding. The final bossfight against Big Moth Mommy was fuckin hard as gently caress!

I'm still in, I guess, Chapter 2 of the campaign just cleared the shrine to Oryx but this is the poo poo that brought me to Destiny in the first place. This is the kinda stuff that made me fall in love with the franchise. I will say that I stopped playing as Captain America and started being Bubble Bro in my solo legendary campaign and just having the bubble has saved my rear end a few times now. Weapons of Light being part of the bubble and getting void melee punches inside of it is nice, and running Heart of Inmost Light means that I am always getting grenade and throwing-shield back because I just pop my barrier at whatever direction I'm being shot at and suddenly I can toss a shield again. Flipped between a few weapons at this point but I seem to be pretty happy with my exotic being Graviton Lance with the catalyst. It hits hard with the revamp of numbers on pulse rifles, and when enemies die they end up exploding into void orbs that can take out other enemies. I did end up using Le Monarque and Hard Light on a few attempts at an earlier mission's ending; mostly was looking for things that were void and might pack a punch but also have infinite ammo so I wasn't scrounging.

I’m rocking Elemental Ordnance and Explosive Wellmaker, Elemental Time Dilation, Well of Tenacity, and Bountiful Wells. Bomber x2, 100 Discipline, Nezarec’s Sin and a Grenade Kickstart mod mean 100% Grenade uptime. Just endlessly chaining explosions together as 2-4 elemental wells pop out of every other enemy while they explode, daisy chaining all the red bars in the room. I’m unclear what benefit my Axion Bolts gets from the fragment that boosts their duration. The bolts already chase forever, nothing in the game runs fast enough for me to need them longer…

Do you get the exotic armor choice only at the end of the legendary campaign or do you get it no matter what just at a lower level? Can't find the info at all and I completed it on legendary.

My build: Heart of Inmost Light Super: Ward of Dawn Aspects: Offensive Bulwark and Bastion Fragments: Echo of Persistence, Echo of Exchange, Echo of Undermining Elemental Time Dilation, 2x Well of Tenacity, Melee Wellmaker, Elemental Ordnance Monte Carlo Empty Vessel (Blinding Grenades, Auto-Loading Holster, Vorpal Weapon) Adept Hothead (Ensemble, Clown Cartridge) Monte Carlo means I always have throwing shields which means I always have access to overshield and grenade energy. Suppressing grenade and blinding grenades means my enemies are always weakened and not attacking me plus echo of exchange gives me more melee energy on top of the Monte Carlo. Heart of Inmost Light means spamming abilities buff each other and regen each other. Echo of Undermining plus Ward of Dawn plus Hothead means I can make my own DPS phases, I wish my Hothead roll was better but it has Clown Cartridge and that's what's important. Currently halfway through Solo Legendary with this. You could swap out Elemental Time Dilation and one of the Well of Tenacities for Explosive Wellmaker and Well of Life if you'd like, but I found only five seconds in Well of Tenacity to be too paltry, and while both the Empty Vessel and your Suppressor Grenade will qualify for making Solar wells, the debuffs on each are more important than the splash damage. Crank up Recovery and Resilience as far as your armor will let you, in that order, followed by Discipline, then Strength. Try to aim for 30 Intellect. Thinking of typing this up as CAPS LOCK SENTINEL in honor of my Dota 2 days. Here is my Dresstiny.

The new Hakke kinetic aggressive shotgun, Ragnhild, uniquely has 16 zoom while every other shotgun in the game has 12. Maybe it's a display error (like Matador's 80 Impact), but it appears that Ragnhild has overwhelmingly better OHK performance than even the most godly rolled Timelost Found Verdict

Unfortunately I haven't had the time to do more than nibble at this expansion yet but so far everything is good. The story, the characters, the loot, etc. The myriad of new stasis legendary weapons is very welcome. So are all the improved void builds.

Bust Rodd could you add the Euro Goon Squad discord to the OP? https://discord.gg/X8gxQ9gN We had a healthy active playerbase all throughout last season (running new and old raids, both scheduled and impromptu, as well as trials on the weekend) and looks like a lot of folks are coming back for WQ. If you're in a EU timezone (or adjacent) then join us for fun times in voice and shitposting in the discord!

I didn’t know you had to go talk to Ikora for more void grenades. That was so dumb. They clearly planned on making you do a bunch of poo poo to unlock each and every bit of void, and then bailed at the last second. Picking through that menu to verify that everything came unlocked except a few items from a random sub menu? WHY Like seriously, why make us unlock them at all, what on earth, that’s such a weird decision. I’m just so completely baffled by that.

New players get them unlocked gradually over the course of the intro quests, is why. I don’t know what defines an “old player” but they get everything unlocked from the get-go except for the grenades that weren’t originally for their class.

This is the first time I played D2 while a new expansion dropped (and bought it) and wow! This is so much fun! I don't have much time to play until about 10 days after now, but the 30 minutes I can play here and there are amazing. It's so much fun to play actual *new* stuff. However, as a smashy Arc Titan, it looks like I need to completely re-evaluate my build.

This quest to craft throne world weapons is a pain in the rear end - I'm on a step to craft the AR and HGL - but they only drop from Wellspring, and rotate depending attack and defend, and then you also need 2 to drop with resonance so you can get a full pattern. A friend said seeing a drop from wellspring will add it to other drop pools but I haven't seen them from anything else yet. Also I just noticed, the raid drops need 5 patterns to craft. Oof.

The story, the characters, the loot, etc. Only thing that throws me off is the weird dichotomy between the campaign missions and the patrol zones. I admit I am only at the beginning of chapter 2, but all the missions have been this super important, grave consequences thing and the patrol zone has (talking about the zone vendor and other things)wacky ghost antics, Like Immaru et al just decided yeah, let's give the light to the hive, those neon nerds won't stop us etc etc and Fynch acting like a weird conspiracy therocist. "I always wanted to work with the vanguard." So instead you decided to give the light to humanity's enemy? Maybe it is explained more later. Campaign is amazing though and having chests and upgrade cores is great (along w/ raid banner spots on normal at least). Also impressed w/ server uptime / login queues Also I don't entirely get the popping ghosts thing. Why hasn't anyone done that to us before? Or is it only a human guardian that can do that? Because if I was a hive guardian i'd be popping vanguard ghosts left and right.

And don't bother farming Wellspring yet. Keep upgrading your reputation with David Fynch and you'll eventually unlock higher difficulty Wellspring. Tarnation/Come to Pass will go from Uncommon to Guaranteed drops which will mean farming it for an hour instead of a day.

If new lights open Shawn Ham's chest that costs 20k glimmer to open, they get... A legacy legendary helmet that can't be infused and lists it's max light as 1260, even though it has a PL of 1350.

And it's implied that Ghost's don't just sit staring blankly for 5/30 seconds when you die, they cloak and hide nearby until they power up enough Light juice to res you. Ghosts and Guardians do die all the time and it's sad which is lol lmao fuckl off ill permakill ever ghost and guardin i come across theiyr probably an idiot or an aasshole

PERMACAV 50 posted:Ghosts get killed all the time. It just doesn’t happen to you because you’re The Guardian who is Built Different. I mean from a gameplay perspective that makes sense. From a narrative perspective it always struck me odd how all of those idiot guardians got killed. I mean the Cabal had to use some weird thing to suppress Targe and we needed a special gun to destroy Sundance but somehow these other guardians drop like flies. I'm a bit torn that we're personally destroying ghosts. At least they didn't give them voice lines during the finishing moves. I should play the rest of the narrative to see how things play out, I'm sure my impression of guardians being the heroes and the bastion of all that is good under the light of the Traveler is flawed.

Just finished the campaign on legendary and I gotta say that doing it solo felt fair. Then again I was using lighting exploding rocket launcher titan which is kinda broken but still. When I was doing it on my hunter with my friends the enemies had WAY too much HP, so I do hope they tune it down a tad. So my take away from it is/was the Traveler is kind of a selfish dick, the Witness is straight from Hellraiser, Mara is batshit crazy, we need more Crow and no one knows what is going on still. Just made the SMG but didn't get a chance to use it yet. Grand Overture kinda sucks poo poo, not sure if the catalyst will make it any better but I kind of doubt it. Not a fan of the glaives, they don't really fit my playstyle. Still pissed there is no catalyst for the Thorn  , this would have been the perfect time for it.Overall, really liked the campaign! It was fun, enjoyable and most importantly it was interesting. Edit: The ornament for the Deathbringer is

It seems way more like they've just made an inconsistency for gameplay sake - or maybe Hive ghosts are just particularly careless and focus on rezzing their hive above self-preservation? Something I'm not clear on after finishing the campaign: Why did the ghost that revived Savathun already look all hivey? I'm honestly still a bit confused what exactly is the deal with hive ghosts - Fynch makes it sound like they were a bunch of ghosts that were convinced to help the hive. But it almost feels like if ghosts can just choose to make anyone a risen, it's surprising we haven't seen Fallen guardians.

What is the base game campaign these days anyway? The red war from Vanilla D2? If I'm starting on a fresh account should I finish that up before deciding on whether to pick up Witch Queen and or Beyond Light? Did Bungie go back on removing content?

AFAICT, a ghost is just a composite of Light given sentience by Travis, and its shell seems to be purely cosmetic based on the Ghost’s preference. For the same reason that some people prefer the art of Todd McFarlane over the art of Jhonen Vasquez, it’s easy to imagine some ghosts would think chitin and spiked carapaces are more stylish than scrap metal or funny cat ears.
