That part was awesome, and more people should be talking about it.

Saw that the warlock arm that gives an extra melee attack doesn't work for Strand and according to some googling, it's known and won't be fixed until...Next season? How is that acceptable lol

Destiny lately seems to have fallen to a trend I see increasing among a lot of new media, that is, writers who don't seem to know very much about or even actually like the property they're writing for and just use it as a stepping stone to do what they actually like.

I mean, I know it's just a job and people aren't obliged to be passionate about a job, but ideally as a company you would try to find people who are both good writers and also love the world and lore of your property

Weird how you blame the writers instead of the meddling management ghouls who are almost always the source of bad everything.

Are my in-game Builds just given a name and icon at random? Is there any way to re-roll the name and icon? I saved my Strand PvE Loadout that has Void Weapons, six times, and the six loadouts were like "Arc" and "Crucible" and "Epsilon"

On PC when you highlight a loadout is pops out with the details and at the top right of that there are hotkeys for how to change the name, colour and icon.

Have fun figuring out the terrible UI of THAT if it exists.

And yes, I think it just gives a random selection for each new loadout you make.

Additionally, is there a way to delete loadouts that I haven't found yet?

It's obvious management is ultimately at fault, but the different teams at Bungie seem to have a lot of freedom and independence (up to a point). The teams that handle gameplay and landscape design are still doing a stellar job, but the team doing the writing isn't. Somebody wrote this expansion and it wasn't management but I agree they should have stepped in

On console if you hover over the loadout you can change its name, icon, and color with the dpad. Not sure if there is a UI callout for this, I learned it from Reddit

On PC < is left arrow key and > is right arrow key. I can't remember the color change key if there is one. Yes, you can change the name and icon, but only from a specific list. The initial setting appears random.

Doing a flawless LLS unlocks additional load out slots, and the unlock more mods requires rank 7. The mods are all the armour charge mods but at a cost of one, not whatever they were. Yes, that includes stacks on stacks.

Makes me wonder why they have costs at that point tho, it does remove the cost limitations entirely.

Cool, just need to get high enough level to do solo LLS without dying and grind commendations like a dumbass.

Stacks on stacks is definitely not 1 cost for me, and I have that part of the "journey" unlocked. Ashes to assets went from 1 to 3 cost overnight though :shrug:

Are you at rank 7 as well? Like you've completed all the rank 6 requirements? This is stuff in the APi so I could be wrong, but you "unlock" it in rank 6 but doesn't take effect until you get to rank 7, it looks like. For some reason.

Nah not level 7 yet, that's pretty silly if so. I feel like I've seen someone talking about having 8 load out slots already though? Maybe?

Just remember you can give each person a commendation, just not the same commendation for...reasons.

(The important bit is to normalize giving both other people in a strike or whatever a commendation of some kind.)

Good Hunter, what... what is this post?
at first I was peeved that they increased the number of strikes needed for the powerful from 3 to 5, but it turns out nightfalls now count (and for more, based on difficulty).

I'm pretty sure hero nightfall gives 40% so you can run two nightfalls and a single strike and get everything. Maybe two strikes.

I like how many people leave strikes and activities immediately so you can't give them commendations lol. Just hurting themselves.

Also it feels satisfying the afk person who does nothing but grab rewards often gets no commendations. It's a good system hth.

So if you want to max out commendations you would want to do 6 man pvp content and hope that all your teammates will give you commendations.

Different loadouts require an artifact reset so they couldn't do this.

Except if you get the “everybody and your guns are invisible” bug which doesn’t load the commendation screen so you have to give them on the final score screen. Also you have to restart the game because that shits annoying. Also people forget to give out commendations or don’t care.

It’s a bad system and should be scrapped entirely.

Hard agree. I dunno why anyone thought it was a good idea. Even if it wasn't tied to any progress it's an obnoxious extra step in leaving a finished activity.

Nobody seems to have mentioned the fact that there's a weekly pinnacle for giving 20 commendations. So the whole thing is meaningless.
