I can confidently say that the Artifact should just be 100% unlockable

I can't see any issues with having all 25 of these unlocked, since a lot of the juicy ones require you to have specific weapons or subclasses equipped, and you won't be stacking too many crazy things.

This would also solve the problem of needing to reset artifact when you want to swap from void to solar to strand etc

That thresher circling there is a trap, there's platforms off to the side. I did spend the 5 minutes necessary to kill that stupid thing while it circled after it popped me one time while I was on the second platform

Yeah, I figured that out, but it seems like an extraordinarily poor design choice, even by Bungo's standards.

i did really like the scene where you take command of the situation and get like five whole lines of dialogue in a row, there's an unspoken thing of "you are now actually in control of what's going on" which destiny so rarely has

(which of course makes your character not asking "hey tell me what the gently caress this veil is" more annoying :argh:)

they tried to make "the Young Wolf" a thing for a minute and then realized it sounded stupid as gently caress

You were only called Young Wolf if you had D1 or Rise of Iron, they dropped it after the red war.

Everyone gets referred to as The Young Wolf here. It's in the last entry.

I remember it because it was so weird to hear when I have no connection to D1.

I think maybe they overcorrected on open world difficulty in Neomunda because even at 1765 everything is super spongey and also nobody is around doing things, which tells me everybody else thinks it’s a pain in the rear end too.

Love the seasonal void disruptor rounds on orb pickup just stops working every once in a while

i think it has something to do with both the fragments you have equipped and the guns--i was able to get volatile rounds with doom of chelchis, the new void sidearm, and le monarque, but not funnelweb, gnawing hunger, hero's burden, or shayura's, and only if i had an empty fragment socket. i have no loving clue what could possibly cause that because it is loving wild

its a super baffling decision to make all that stuff 1770+, i can only imagine maybe they didn't want players coming out of the legendary campaign immediately demolishing things but it really fucks over players who came out of normal at 1750 (let alone out there doing the earlier side quests)

I suffered as you did.

Although, yesterday someone mentioned in discord VC that the trick is to keep your focus on the connection point. If you look away, it apparently breaks the grapple. Looking forward to some interesting grapple vids in the future.

Yeah this seems like a fear-based design decision rather than actually playing with it. And even if there are some powerful combinations, they just have to take notes and apply it to the next series because it's not going to last.

I've gotten volatile rounds with Funnelweb very reliably. unless the original complaint was the rounds weren't stunning champs, which may be one of those cases of already having Overload on SMG? That whole overriding cases thing is still confusing.

I was just using a wave secondary and a heavy GL, and was getting it fine with the new strand sidearm as my primary. I switched to quicksilver to take out an overload champ and it stopped me from getting volitile. I switched back to the sidearm and it worked again. Something is definitely going sideways based on loadout.

I have anti barrier sidearm and overload AR active, so it’s not that, and they are both exotics, so who the loving hell knows

Is there some trick to volatile round workout gin barriers? Pretty sure everything I tried last night just bounced off shields while I had volatile rounds on.

A whole bunch of random triumphs completed for me when I first logged in after the update, including a bunch of triumphs for upcoming stuff in the season and raids/activities I've never done. I haven't checked to see if any of those completions stuck or if it was just a momentary glitch in the system.

The heist battlegrounds in the vanguard playlist still have the stuff that interacted with the exo frame upgrades, which are no longer available. So on the plus side you get the third laser core for free when opening the door, but on the minus side, the deathtraps are still there and you can't just walk through them now. Good luck with those GMs
