if you have good enough aim to proc outlaw regularly then sloppy pulses are probably wasted on you anyhow. rapid hit is the poor aimer's boon

Does anyone know of a website that keeps up to date information as to what content is available to free players? The official site still makes reference to the tangled shore. I knew the NPE was lacking but not even stating what a player can and can't do on your own official website. My best friend's decided to try dip his toe again after only dabbling for a few weeks in y1. He remembered he was part way through the campaign on "the water world" and even trying to explain what happend there took far too many words. He's asked for a guide this time round but I haven't the faintest idea what's available to him without asking 20 questions.

He can do any of the main playlists (not trials), the first mission of every campaign, all patrol zones, vault of glass is the only raid, and prophecy is the only dungeon iirc. So not much. Imo the play if you want to get him hooked is run him through prophecy with you and another buddy. Dungeons are the best destiny content.

Prophecy is a good non-matchmade activity for beginners; the mechanics are easy and basically the same for all the major encounters, the loot is good and unique looking, and rainbow road has a great “oh wow” factor the first time you see it

This is a draft post for the OP ----------------------------------------------- How to Use Destiny Item Manager Keep in mind I'm also a novice, so there are probably way better ways of doing things. This is just what I've picked up by fooling around with it. Inventory Management
So let's walk through an example.

xzzy posted:The worst part of being the new guy on the raid is someone giving a 15 minute explanation of the fight describing a bunch of very important minutiae to a person that has no idea what’s going on. Normalize doing it live, commit to a couple ‘learning wipes’ so the new player can witness the chaos and use it as a teaching experience. The wipes are gonna happen anyways, might as well help build a context for the incoming instructions. Yesssssss Give me the super high level objective, some very basic instructions, and then let’s wipe a few times.

Vendors shows you your current rank of Vanguard/Crucible/Gambit and all mods, armour, weapons, bounties and other things available from all the vendors that offer those. You can Xûr's offerings from there, see what mods Banshee and Ada-1 have which is important because Ada-1 now has previously season pass only mods, see what Rahools exchange rates are and the entire current Eververse availability. It's nice because it puts all of that on a single page.

I just need twenty more intel for this next Psi-Ops mission, but I can't get it from anywhere. Crucible, Gambit, Public Events, not even tiny drops from enemies. What the hell gives?

You can either delete the stack or do a psi ops which will 'spend' a chunk unlocking the chest.

Finally got around to doing Vow with the gang. Entrance encounter: Seems unnecessarily long. We're all going to be really sick and tired of this in a few weeks, aren't we. Acquisition: Decent introductory encounter. Caretaker: Pretty good encounter, but his health seems too low. Jumping puzzle: Dreadful. After how good the jumping part was in DSC, this one is a disappointment and a massive pain in the rear end. Exhibition: This is going to break so many pick up groups, holy poo poo. Good encounter, though. Rhulk: Holy poo poo this encounter is so cool. Probably my favorite boss in the game. All in all... 9/10 for a first run, will probably be really annoying to farm without a static group though.

I got the exotic pulse on my first run and a PvP god roll of the legendary pulse. 20+ runs of VOG and no vex though.

I enjoyed playing one of the weekly campaign missions on matchmade Hero when I had previously only played it on Legendary solo and just blasting through the mission in a matter of minutes.

lol caretaker was definitely one of those 'this poo poo is hard on contest but certainly seems like it would be easy on normal mode' encounters. I remember atraks being similar.

checking out shattered throne for the first time. In the rafter room with the ogres and blights, there's an orb you can dunk. Did I miss any dunkables before that? e: oh i see that's for the wish ender quest muike fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Mar 13, 2022 |

There are 3 in total, one in the first area and one in the ogre boss fight I don’t think they do anything any more, they were part of the Wish-Ender quest that was retired when Tangled Shore was removed

Caretaker is a Mechanics encounter pretending to be a Boss Fight It's good but it was dumb on contest

I appreciated the big brain strat of having everyone swap to Outbreak right at the end of contest mode Caretaker since your whole team was gonna be 100% tapped out of purple and probably green ammo by the time they got to final stand. If I'm being honest I really didn't like the inclusion of these significant final stand sections in Vow's raid encounters. I get what a final stand mechanic is asking of me, but I just... don't like it. It feels cheap to me, that you can display mastery of a provided mechanical challenge and deal enough damage to meet a set DPS requirement overall but then there's this last check to make sure you left a little in the tank and invalidate literally everything you've done before that point if you didn't. It's their game and they can design the fights the way they want but drat, just make the mechanics a bit harder or something if you need a greater challenge.

Ask me about the time when we got to Oryx's last stand and I went full stupid with my super. Turns out I had ward of dawn and all my bros were inside it doing no damage.

For voidlocks is the weakening from echo of undermining worth the -20 discipline hit? I don't have that much high stat armour, so without it I can jiggle some mods around to end up 50:100:100 for resilience:recovery:discipline

I think the weaken grenade fragment is bad for most content, since most things you grenade will be dead or close enough that 15% weaken doesn’t matter. It will be good for sublight content like GMs.

Rank 30 for Throne World rep and still only 2/3 for the forensic nightmare pattern. I've fully masterworked the seasonal exotic SMG in the meantime so don't really need forensic nightmare anymore anyway. Game design!

Potsticker posted:Once you tag an item, what do you do from there? Can you see the tags in-game somehow? You can’t see it in-game but it makes management easier since you can filter on them. I didn’t read the whole DIM post but filtering is where it shines for me. The tagging lets me decide what to trash while at a computer, then next time I have the game fired up it’s as simple as filtering on tag:junk and dismantling everything that shows up. For me, something having a tag means I’ve thought about an item so I don’t need to keep revisiting it/spending cycles thinking about it. Works especially well from the compare function. Like if I have six of something, hit compare (old timey balance scale icon). All six show up in a row where you can sort by stats and directly compare them. Down in that row I’ll tag keepers and junk the rest. On the other hand, you can filter on tag:none to see everything you haven’t tagged. I use tag:none and is:new constantly now just to manage the influx of trash.

It’s overwhelming at first but your searches will get more complex (and helpful) as time goes on. Well now I feel less certain than I was. Are we talking about filtering via tag in-game? If I still need to locate the item in-game myself based on it's name/icon/stats to figure which one it is, that's way less helpful than I was imagining, because then I'm doing the work I don't want to do (identifying the item) twice. It's fine if that's how it works and it's not as useful to me, I just want to be clear on what's being done in DIM and what's being done in-game.
