if you have retrofit escapade from last season you can basically just use it instead of your primary weapon.

Retrofit feels SO good this season. Even with the volatile rounds nerf/fix, this thing still melts enemies.

Why Hierarchy of Needs?

using circles created by other players makes you deal significantly higher damage, so it's kinda like outbreak perfected except way stronger

Vex Strike Force in theory can give you an LSE as well but you have to camp the zone for hours, it doesn't guarantee you an exotic period, and there's no weighting toward LSE vs generic, already-unlocked-exotic

Also VSF hard-crashes the game most of the time (known issue)
VSF shows up as an upcoming public event on the Neptune map, so you shouldn't need to hang around waiting for it. Haven't had it crash on me, but the problem I did have with it the first couple times was just not enough people showing up. Not even people leaving mid-event, just nobody even entering the zone at all during it; my first try at it was just me and one other poor guy only managing to take down one of the 6 before time ran out.

That does seem to have improved the last few days though, with a couple successful events now (2 for 2 for exotics from it so far, but that could just be luck) so maybe it was just a matter of enough people getting their LL high enough.

Hit it until it's not a problem anymore

I think it actually IS a nerf, because it was doing hidden damage that wasn't counted in the results screen but moved the health bar and would kill the thing. It was doing like over a million before a debuff.

What are you using?

Strand at first, but I’m 1765~ and switched to my main Ashen Wake build.

I just finished the campaign on my warlock, went to buy the Strand stuff and all the Fragments say “locked until 3/7” or “requires purchase of aspects and fragments used during the Lightfall campaign”. I’m guessing it’s bugged out?

Season of the Deep actually refers to how deep Osiris wants you to study strand. Endless hours of him talking as you scream for him to just shut up and go away.

I still made more sense than the campaign but I apologise for not saying radial mast enough to accurately capture the experience.

I’m thinking Legendary campaign isn’t for me. I’ve been fighting this Supply Master on mission 2 for over an hour.

is this the one with the drop pods? I made a really lovely diagram for someone stuck on this mission and it seemed to help them.



Basically, the drop pods only come down in phases, and those phases are governed by the boss's health bar. Stand near the start and go counter clockwise around the room. Once the pods come down in a section, they wont drop in that section again so you can move up. Once you see drop pods, stop shooting the boss and deal with the adds. Stay safe, you have plenty of time during this encounter.

Nothing has been so bad since then, except maybe the LF campaign storyline

You can still visit Niobe Labs in the EDZ, but it doesn’t have anything (not even enemies) and you can’t get into Bergusia Forge

That’s the one! I’ll probably go back and try on my warlock, but thanks for the tips! And diagram.

I think it says you have to buy "the fragments and aspects used in the campaign" before you can do the rest but it's not entirely clear, I think that might be what have happened

Also today I farting around with a Stasis NTTE build and I was shocked, shocked at how little damage it did.

Final Warning does, no hyperbole, at least 6 times the DPS (including NTTE's :evilbuddy:).

Solar still feels good though. Polaris is great for builds where you just wanna plink from afar as your teammates swing in to medium range. It's a chill Nightfall build.

wait what the fuck??

been playin destiny off and on since the game 1 alpha, never got into 2 to the same degree but im putting some time into it for the first time since before forsaken, picked up everything but lightfall on sale. sweet mother of macaroni this game has become bewildering. looks like the forsaken campaign got vaulted, which is a shame since i heard it was good, but i just started beyond light's. if i'm just trying to build up my arsenal and uhh, 'systems knowledge', what are activities worth doing? does it make any sense to ride around patrol zones doing events? does it make sense to run strikes for equipment? and which of the bajillion different vendors is it important to actually level or pay attention to?
basically i would like to get back into raiding eventually like i used to do in 1, but i'm not really sure what i ought to be doing to get there. i know the WQ campaign is supposed to be good so i plan to blitz beyond light pretty fast
i have precisely jack and poo poo when it comes to exotics but no idea where/how those drop nowadays either

The only real “core loop” is to do all the yellow dot activities on the map each week, and it’s also the way to get raid ready

one thing I like is how they tied an insane number of a stupid new kudos system to rank advancement and then made it so that if you lag some you wont even get the chance to give or get them before the "next activity begins" timer runs out

I really like a lot of what they did or I wouldn't still be playing but the cracks are really showing I think this time

isn't it fixed power delta?

i soloed it with strand titan relying on the leg mods that heal you when you pick up an orb of power, but if you have a warlock i suspect that it's basically free to a contraverse devourlock, the eight million respawning adds would just be an early birthday present to a devourlock.
