I really liked the exotic machine gun mission even if it was just the raid. I'm a real sucker for everything Black Garden related. I know they're never going to explain anything about it but my headcanon is that it's some kind of super reality akin to the aboriginal dreamtime, and our universe is just a degraded hologram of it

per our own General Battuta’s Books of Sorrow the Traveler famously left a Gift Mast for the Harmony a bazillion years ago. Oryx fed on its Light and destroyed it and of course the Hive genocided the Harmony who lived in its radiance. my sense is the Radial Mast is a shittier weaker replica (or otherwise reference to that) since the Witness needed a Light device to connect to the Veil, and there happens to be an existing Light Mast in the lore already. maybe they explain this somewhere but I haven’t had the time to pause my power grind and read all my lore tabs yet—need a free weekend

I'm crashin bad on terminal overrides and that new exotic mission, I have actually otherwise been enjoying playing recently as the narrative blunders of recent times matter to me as much as the narrative blunders of yore. But we have to keep our complaints evergreen: the new Astrotracts ornament for warlocks is designed to go with the ugliest exotic in the game, and lights up like a magic item from morrowind? Why is this here?

My read of Calus not expecting Strand was more of a "he thinks the shadow legion are the only ones that can use Strand energy" then we come in grappling and slicing and "lol, lmao"img Has Severance Enclosure always been a great exotic chest or did it get a big buff with LF? It's absolutely demolishing stuff on my void titan

As a Warlock on normal non-legendary mode, how do you keep Calus from yeeting you out of the arena during Phase 2? And how do you dodge his seemingly undodgeable lunge attack? If you try to hide behind something, he just lunges around/over it. If you try to run away, he's... faster. I love how Warlocks do not have access to Suspend until AFTER beating the campaign (because Bungie clearly planned this so loving well). I have found Strand to be a straight downgrade from Void 3.0 and will not be using it on Warlock, at least until I get access to Aspects and Fragments that might, possibly make it marginally less clearly inferior compared to Void 3.0 for Warlocks. And a hearty gently caress YOU to whoever decided to not add a checkpoint after the first phase.

You can stay ahead of him by grappling in a big circle around the arena, it's the fastest way to move. Not very far ahead of him, but enough that he isn't punching you in the rear end and you can turn around and shoot him a bitLib and let die posted:Has Severance Enclosure always been a great exotic chest or did it get a big buff with LF?

Why yes, I would like yo stand motionless looking at nothing for 30-60 minutes for a thing to spawn in a very out of the way place while it exists for what says 30 seconds but is very much maybe 10. Twice.

Witherhoard, autoloading rocket, and never stop running around the outside of the center ring in phase 2 on the far side of the little columns. I had a shitload of trouble not getting booped off the map in phase one, but when I just decided to focus on Calus and mostly ignore everything else including tormenters and just keep running, I one shot him.

Kesper North posted:It most definitely does not one-shot him. It takes off less than 1/4 of his health. - use quicksilver storm, its grenades are considered strand - use osteo striga+necrotic grips, poison spread is mega op - you can "lightblade" the tormentors by jumping from catwalk->platform->catwalk (they'll be constantly stuck in the jumping animation to chase you and won't be able to dps); bring rockets and witherhoard and plink away at calus if you use this strategy - if you use stasis turrets or bring a friend using stasis turrets they will completely lock down the tormentors and you can ignore them the entire fight - if you get booped don't panic, the grapple length to tangle is huge as long as it is close in your sights. try to only tangle grapple to keep the ability up for emergency melee or escape - the back of the platforms are solid and you cannot fall off them - technically if you rotate and kill the incendiors you never have to jump on the catwalks at all. just try to ignore the tormentors, avoid jumping/grappling and plink calus when you can. Again. Poison and DoTs help a ton with this - in phase 2 it's just a dps race. try to save a super use before you take off the last bit of health to enter phase 2, then immediately super and heavy good luck! you got this guardian

I've never successfully gotten Necrotic Grips to drop. I eventually just straight up quit doing solo Legendary Lost Sectors because it was one of the least fun ways to spend my time I've ever found. Mega stressful and time consuming with low or, in my case, no return. I've given up on ever getting a new Bungie exotic until they stop gating them behind Legendary content, which seems to be entirely beyond me as a player.  I did succeed in killing Calus. I hid under the stairs to kill the Tormentors and get through phase 1. I then hit him with the Strand super (doing roughly 1/4 of his health, or slightly less, in damage). Finally, I finished him off with a void LMG. The kicker for me was always the eternally long and easily interrupted load time for the LMG, which needs two magazines to kill one Calus after he eats a super. Whoever pointed out the ample grapple points in the arena had the key: it's clear the encouter was specifically designed to force you to use those grapple points to evade Calus. With them, I was able to kill him fairly easily. Thanks for all the help folks! A Buffer Gay Dude posted:Yeah I dunno what’s going on there. I tested it 3 times. The amount of damage done by Warlock super was consistent each time!

They're extremely doable with the right load outs imo. With the aforementioned osteo and necro grips I did a master lost sector at 1795. Wasn't fun but did it. Legendary is also ezpz with em. The shackle grenade is ridiculous and locks down any champ type. You don't even need mods

Bobby Deluxe posted:Bunker E15 on Europa used to be the go-to because its shields were the same element as the burn and the robits would distract the adds. As long as you take Le Monarque to deal with the overload champs I found it farmable, and I definitely struggle in most difficult content. That's the one that I burned out on trying I'll probably try them again with the new content but everything I've found says they've doubled down and made the fuckers harder, not easier. ...Did Ikora just accuse me of disloyalty?

Disconnected in the middle of the enter codes part of the exotic quest, so now I have to start that over and god do I not want to. Every single loving encounter in Lightfall is made "engaging" by infinite spawns and excruciatingly long no-respawn sections. Whoever designed these missions is a total hack who's out of ideas and it's really loving grating.
