This is the actual truth. If you’re terrified of being NON OPTIMAL mayhaps you should try and have some different kinds of fun and branch out.

DARCI is fun though, especially if you have trash aim like me. Whisper if you can aim, DARCI if you can't.

Like I wouldn't run it in high level content but it'd be fun for mucking about in seasonal stuff or strikes.

Being able to jolt something at any range at any time is neat but not sure it's worth having a heavy ammo sniper that does barely more damage per shot than an unbuffed aggressive sniper. Why can't they just make it do more damage?

The problem with Whisper and DARCI and Sleeper too is that their whole identiy is being The Biggest Gun that Does the Most Damage, but if they actually did notably more damage than anything else no one would use anything else. So they get nerfed or just power crept into irrelevance.

Jolt is a good idea to buff DARCI by giving it some unique identity, I just doubt it's going to get anyone using a heavy sniper.

Almost done with max saved bounties, just need to hit a few more pinnacles and I'm good enough to piss off until Tuesday. I might even have part of that day off, not that the servers will be up or the game playable if every dlc has been borked. Hoping the new warlock exotic is stasis, or just general purpose and warmind themed.

jolt on hit doesn't solve DARCI's biggest problem: it feels like complete poo poo to shoot. if i'm gonna run an off-meta loadout (which I usually do!) it's because the guns are fun.

The next season is just 8 glorious weeks of cutscenes of Saint-14 and Osiris kissing to enrage chuds. Cutscenes when you log in. Cutscenes when you decrypt an engram. Cutscenes when you reload. Every time you try to summon your sparrow, it instead summons a hologram of them being adorable.

You'll still be able to exchange them for glimmer at the Cryptarch after the new season starts, although at half the rate you used to get. They're still a useful stockpile of glimmer-convertibles, you just can't earn any more.

If you’re really desperate to clear inventory, you can make 2 types of material per day evaporate at the donation chest. There is no reward for doing this at this point, they just go away

Also if you’re lucky the cryptarch will convert them to legendary shards today or tomorrow

Oh, I thought they were gonna be completely worthless in the new season. Using them as a glimmer stash is good enough!

Yeah, I want to try some Deep Stone Creamery this season (my first time!) and get some play in. I'm casual as gently caress so I don't need a Raid as a carrot to entice me. I just wanna load up the game, click some heads, get some loots, and enjoy some relaxation.

At least Season of Rasputin is confirmed now

I honestly don't care about getting hyped weeks in advance, it's already a foregone conclusion that I'm going to play it so I may as well discover things when I can launch the game and go check them out

syntaxfunction
Oct 27, 2010

Yeah I am always curious about what's coming next (in general) but I don't really care. Whatever the season is isn't going to be a deal breaker for me. I just play, and if I don't vibe as much I play less and do other things.

Also I barely touched the seasonal content for Plunder outside of the story and I have all the seasonal patterns, that's messed up. They just sort of fell into my lap without trying.

you will now collect rusted armor bits (with a 10% drop rate) from doing public activities. Turn in 4 rusted bits for one shiny bit. You need 4 shiny bits to create an exotic locked engram. Talk to Banshee 44 to get a quest that can get you a piece of key.

You need 3 key pieces to convert to a key that can unlock the engram.

The engram is still random.
