RocketRaygun posted:Strand is bad in the campaign. The aspects and fragments they give you do loving nothing. Max threadling warlock also very funny, but yeah Suspend makes Strand right now, Titans get the most of it but Warlocks aren't far behind with eating their bola grenade (when there's not enough of a power delta that you can actually get a decent murder on afterwards at least, otherwise just throw it)

Logged into my Titan for the first time since the first day of Destiny 2. Almost tempted to go to a random zone and see how instantly I die/how many shots it takes to kill anything. e: lol

Mazerunner posted:yeah hunter dodge -> grapple -> grapple -> probably another hunter dodge by that point means you can poop out a lot of rockets really fast There seems to be some hidden cooldown, at least on Two-Tailed Fox, that limits how fast it can be fired again when you're skipping reloads, at least that's what it looked like in an Aztecross damage test video I saw today.

I like fighting Tormentors generally, it’s just there’s a time and place for them like all good encounter design and maybe “two Tormentors in an arena made of suspended platforms over death pits” was not it. I like the two-tormentor fight in that enclosed room at the end of mission… 4?

There's a tormentor fight at the end of one of the exotic quests but it's in a big open flat area and by the end it was just me taking a sliver of his health off with an SMG, easily dodging his leap attack, and then repeat for what felt like ten minutes

Tormentors kinda suck unless you're using specials or heavy weapons that excel at precision damage. Spamming wendigo grenades at them felt pretty useless but an LMG made them mincemeat during the legendary campaign

I saw my first not guardian rank 6 today. Duder was in a strike with me, at level 3, and kept getting annihilated. Didn't give up though so I hope the dumbass commendation card I gave em means something. Lol bungie Power level delta continues to be poo poo on hairy nutsack.

I really love pyramid ship aesthetics, even the new jolly rancher bits. I hope we get proper pyramid tech armor for the final shape because the raid armor wasn't it. Also I really like the color and effects of the orange darkness energy and it would be cool to use it as the last dark power

This campaign has SO many more cheap deaths. This is what they think "hard" is? poo poo just spawning all around you or on top of you isn't "hard" or "fun". Have they not looked at the past 10 years of FPSs? Witch Queen was way better and more balanced. Why is this such a regression.

Mr Hootington posted:Should I do anything with my yellow weapons and armor? Is there a way to upgrade them or see if they are worth using still? Any weapon with a grey corner such as the one on the left here can be safely discarded, those guns have been sunset and can't be raised above the power floor.  As for armor, I didn't play during the pre-Armor 2.0 days, but was armor ever sunset or was it just converted to Armor 2.0? Nowadays armor has 6 different stats like your typical MMO. Max total stats is 68, with a max of 30 in any one stat. Until you've found your footing again, just wear whatever you have that has the highest Resilience.

On that same topic, it looks like I have some green-bordered armour from way back in the day. Is that worth holding on to or should I just throw it in the bammer?

Item quality goes on a scale of worst to best based on color: White Green Blue Purple You will very quickly be drowning in purple quality gear as you progress, so you definitely don't need to hold on to green gear.

also late but I feel like people aren't giving grapple enough credit. It's not going to be a GM thing but any endgame activities where you can play aggressively it shreds, I love running it in raids cause it can nuke single targets or clear out groups of ads with the same ease, or just let me move quickly at weird angles

throw tangle grapple to tangle grapple melee explode next group repeat, because grappling tangles refreshes your grapple it absolutely owns

Collateral Damage posted:Yellow background (exotic) guns and armor are still fine. If you mean yellow border (masterworked) it depends on if they're sunset or not. Yeah I was talking about exotics. I guess I just smash higher leveled same items into it and that raises the stats. I would like to use my lion rampant. I remember being able to zoom around with those.

victrix posted:throw tangle Throw assassin’s cowl and stack up on orb of power mods. Bing bong melee hunter is back so simple. Save your suspend dive for a big hitter. Only thing I gotta get better at is placing that first tangle in a good spot I can keep chaining grapple melees from. Also this is a pain in the rear end to do in controller.

They really ought to undo the red bar crit changes from Shadowkeep now. Between power differential being more common, enemies getting health and stagger boosts, and the 40% exotic primary boost most legendary primaries feel awful to use. And given how good legendary specials and power weapons are, I'm really not seeing a reason to run a legendary primary over double special or exotic primary.

Collateral Damage posted:Yeah exotics were never sunset (though some of them have been somewhat left behind by power creep) so you can still use your favorite year 1 exotics and just need to infuse them to bring the power level up. I have some year 1 armor in my vault and while it can be infused up, it doesn't have any energy level or mod slots so it's pretty useless for anything beyond casual strikes or bounties etc. Guns are fine though.

I gotta tell you - maybe they should have just learned to love the power creep instead of trying to ramp up the “challenge” as they have. A lot of the stuff in the patrol space is just kind of obnoxious to play now (lost sectors) and having the legendary versions of stuff being 70 LL above the soft cap fuckin sucks. It feels mean to the player in a way Destiny hasn’t in a while, and I’m not sure how making the treadmill feel quite this steep actually helps the game. edit: like, is there a reason to make the Strand grind character-based, rather than account? Other than just nakedly trying to drive MAU and "engagement"? I like to play multiple characters (which actually does keep me engaged), but I have no desire to grind out all these aspects again on my warlock...so I probably just won't!
