Having to get stasis super kills in Gambit when most games don’t even last long enough to build one up is egregious bullshit that makes me pull my teeth out, yes. There’s also a “get stasis kills in PvP” step that felt basically impossible as a warlock until they started releasing actual good stasis weapons.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:GM nightfall not starting until July is bullshit I need so many golf balls. I've been grinding Master NF's with the rep glitch and have gotten both my golf ball and prism stacks back to healthy levels. I farmed for about 5 or 6 total hours between sat and sun and got 7 golfballs and cappd prisms. I also got a ton of exotics and the gear drops at level so I have enough 1570's to upgrade my thundershirt, aeons, void 3.0 and loreli builds while still being flexible enough for GM purposes which is nice. Average run time was right around 15mins and that was being a bit messy. Unsure if it this weeks master will be as fast or if the rep gets patched but its an option!

Bobby Deluxe posted:My wife is having great fun on her titan this season, mostly because I've been clearing the stasis stuff for her. She had fun doing it once on her warlock but just the thought of doing the entire campaign again had her fully resigned to just not using stasis on that character. It doesn't help that the Europa campaign involves a long rear end sparrow ride to the start of basically every step.

Fallout just threw a video up breaking down the whole AE shitshow for idiots like me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmrmsdlKwFg tl;dr: you need 60 ae to make PRIMARIES have no cone penalty in the air while you need exactly 100 ae to have no penalty with special weapons. The video of the heat rise sniper (which fallout shows) had an AE of 85 at the time of the shot which translates to a 0.3 cone penalty which for a sniper means lol good luck landing a long shot ever again.

Might just be because Europa is so boring and empty, or because they'd send you across two zones and deep into one of the side zones that weren't designed for sparrows before you got to the actual mission start.

This week was 2x vanguard rep bonus, and the difficulty of the nightfall also gives more (for both base and the streak bonus). Looked on reddit, no one's saying anything, just that Warden is fast and easy.

"bugged" or not, running the same strike 12+ times in a week is madness and I only got to 89% of a reset before my brain turned to mushy mush A great thing Bungie has done recently is basically remove the "gotta do the campaign!" requirement for alts, and give a huge whole ton of sources of high stat armor for alts. My warlock and hunter have done exactly one WQ mission apiece and aren't missing out on anything. I do raids, weekly story mission, Preservation etc on them just fine. Also a sneaky secret - Getting your Main to 1570 literally takes Less time and effort if you use 2 or 3 characters, compared to just grinding on your one guy Like fewer minutes and hours, and less destiny played. Having three characters is the Casual's Delight Lastly I would say that classes are nearly a superfluous concept at this point and we basically just have 12 Subclasses separated by how their Jump works

Light fall will probably do something dumb like that with merging or twisting the current subclasses. Final shape will merge the clases themselves when everyone becomes pyramids.

The narrative seems to be pushing us the theme that "good" is somewhere in the middle between light and dark. So we're all gonna turn into grey or twilight guardians by the end.

The whole multi-year arc is about how the darkness and the light don't have innate morality, they are wielded by minds that do. The conflict is being driven by the witness and the traveler and their respective subordinates and allies, not the light and the darkness I'm just glad they aren't going with "actually the traveler was evil all along!!!!!" like people have been predicting for literally a decade

I have my Hunter main and a Warlock second. I don't play my Titan as fun as that class is because apparently my brain can't process juggling that many characters. Even switching between Hunter and Warlock fucks with my head with what I expect the movement to be. I don't feel like I'm missing out. I also don't have the dang time for more characters. I'm also interested in more darkness subclasses. Give me Toxic or Radiation or something.

The Traveler is the Tony Stark of Destiny, in that while it is the cause of the Golden Age of science and technology, it’s also unambiguously the cause of massive loss-of-life events surrounding it as a resource or a tactical asset, and it has routinely made choices that exclusively make the lives of its symbiotic counterparts more dangerous and difficult. Witch Queen is about as unambiguous as the game gets: we don’t know anything about the Traveler or what it wants, and every notion of morality or goodness is projection to justify our stranglehold over this galaxy-warping power source

Looked on reddit, no one's saying anything, just that Warden is fast and easy. Getting 1,100+ rep for Hero difficulty was pretty good...knocked out a zavala reset from 0 in a few hours. Pretty sure it was closer to 4x boost with a full streak bonus that didn't go away? I hit up the leviathan for an hour or two and my vanguard streak was still at 5.

Streaks no longer get cleared when you do a different activity. There is now only one permanent streak that gets traded between strikes, crucible, and gambit as you play each of them*. Activities that are not any of these do not affect streak at all I'm actually not sure how to make your streak go away at this point, it seems to persist across game sessions too *as in: You play 5 strikes. Your vanguard streak is now 5. You play 2 crucible matches. Your crucible streak is now 2 and your vanguard streak is now 3. You play a strike. Your vanguard streak is now 4 and your crucible streak is now 1 haveblue fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Jun 14, 2022 |

I lost my Crucible streak during Iron Banner week by resetting my rank. I have no idea how that would interact with a streak of different kinds.

I thought your account was literally flagged with like, "1x Pinnacle per (Source) for HUNTER" per week, so even if you had 3 hunters or kept deleting your Hunter you could only Raid for pinnacles once

Pretty sure it was closer to 4x boost with a full streak bonus that didn't go away? I hit up the leviathan for an hour or two and my vanguard streak was still at 5. Speaking of resets, there's a tip going around Reddit about how to get the best possible perk selections on playlist weapons (one of the best updates from this season, IMO): "Don't reset the 3rd time. Get 2 resets and stay at 10k for your third go round. Being at 10k counts as a reset, so you'll have the best drops with 3 perks in column one and 2 perks in column two. But if you're on your fourth rotation, weapons will drop with 1 perk in column one, and 3 perks in column two." So, basically, do the reset accompanying the machine gun ornament, and then just let it ride.

Little known fact, the number of perks your gun drops with is based on the same sine wave they use for weapon stability. Gotta get a value that ends in 5 for best drops.
