I’ve barely unequipped Gnawing Hunger once this season. Only to use an incandescent solar primary on solar builds.

RocketRaygun posted:gnawing hunger is cracked with this artifact. lots of void shields to make orbs that give volatile rounds and orange/yellow bar enemies that drop heavy ammo. In all seriousness, yeah, I was using Arc as a carryover from last season (Star Eater + Gathering Storm is so loving great), but I gotta go over into the Void/Solar stuff. Wonder if Caliban's Hand is any good right now.

The Variable deletion encounter on legendary is really too much, and it's not just the combat difficulty, it's the chaos and glitches. Vexcalibur doesn't give me an overshield when it should and the adds burn me down. The wyverns can shoot through the force field over the safe hole until a moment after it's fully formed, that's if they don't boop you across the area on the way into the hole. I'm not even sure how being at power parity would improve this, it's just uncontrollable stuff happening constantly caused by the new philosophy that difficulty means you're not allowed get below a dozen enemies shooting at you at once Legendary seraph shield last season was at a good point, this isn't it

The third symbol being shootable/a shortcut, some of the mysterious Immune panes opening shortcuts, etc

Decided to delete it rarely-played Hunter and make a new one to play all the campaigns though with a hand cannon and Lucky Pants. It seems like Hawkmoon doesn’t benefit from them? Or does it just not gain a benefit from the final round with Paracausal Charge stacks? I like it, Ace of Spades, and Crimson, but quick googling seems like hawkmoon doesn’t get much of a boost from the pants.

I took a chance on Partition Backdoor even though I'm way under-LL for it. (It calls for 1790, and I'm at 1767). I actually managed to get to the final encounter, then used the LFG app to get one more person in my fireteam, and we were able to complete it together. Somewhat amazed. It actually didn't feel like I was under-leveled for most of the encounter.

There's what, two darkness zones in that one? Both did have unlimited adds, but I dunno, I just feel like there wasn't the same pressure.

It's capped at -5 but that was the same as the actual Heists anyway, and it also feels like the enemy density is actually lower? Congrats that it didn't suck for you, but that ain't stopping it from sucking poo poo for a bunch of other people.

Yeah no, sorry, gently caress this vexcaliber mission. Awful check pointing and endless waves of poo poo as “challenge”. This lackluster expansion has done more to gate off chunks of this game as, apparently, just not for me than anything in D2 has in quite some time. I completed operation seraph and a bunch of hard solo poo poo in Witch Queen and had a great time but Lightfall is just one kick in the dick after another. I’m honestly at a loss for who finds some of this poo poo “fun”. I guess if they’re really just all in on catering to a bunch of hardcores to the exclusion of every actual human being playing this game then I wish them well with it.

I mean fair but I am just putting out my personal anecdotal experience just like everyone else? "Okay it sucks for you, but a bunch of other people don't have issues" is the same sentiment ya know? I get that people are having issues, but I also think Nightfalls are meant to be difficult. Again, it's no harder than it was as a seasonal activity and it's a Nightfall. Strikes still exist too. They're fun. Right now the data provided has shown a large influx of new players along with good player retention, so I dunno, most people are still playing according to the player numbers. It's a lot of anecdotes vs anecdotes (and all my comments are personal anecdotes, not data points) but I'll be curious how the player numbers pan out in a month or so. If player retention is reasonably high then I guess it isn't really a problem?

I didn't mind the nightfall too much last week, but I was really not hot on this weeks. IMO it feels a good deal harder then the seasonal activity and feels like kind of one of those things that was just not put together with care - having to rush down the deathsinger without the boost is annoying and harder - the last boss having bonus melee damage makes him peak garbage design as he just annihlates you with cheap one shots and then vanishes into the ether the second you want to start laying damage into him. It's a huge mercy and I will give some credit for not making that boss room a darkness zone. Broadly, I feel like I'm getting clapped harder then I was during Seraph. It also just leads to a feeling that my build is once again quite restricted, so that limits a lot of fun I can have. Reward-wise, "some currency and maaaaaybe a nightfall gun" just does not feel like an enticing reward. Compare that seasonal activity being able to spend a key for a guaranteed engram deepsight/highstat armor. Granted, the value of seasonal activities is going to fall off sharply once you get all your patterns. Strikes might still exist, but they're even less rewarding. I feel like maybe they should be rewarding vanguard engrams more often then just on rank up or something, and then at least you might have a good method to chase some rolls? Will have to see how rank grind feels on 2x rep week. I'll be curious to see what happens since I feel like the feedback has been pretty largely negative. I don't think raising the baseline difficulty was an entirely bad thing, but I do feel like I've found myself a lot more frustrated by situations of enemy density making me feeling like cover might as well not exist, or just getting gibbed in a blink of an eye despite running 10 resil.

I'm not even interested in trying this week's NF at any difficulty, I found the Seraph heists to be one of the least enjoyable grinds, from the 15 second death lasers in the opening run to the possibility of a hive clamshell motherfucker as a boss, they just weren't enjoyable.

Mars Nightfall can be very unfun, but I guess it's balanced by the fact that you can't wipe at any point. I assume that's a first?

There's a Darkness zone for the door hacking (i think? I remember seeing the icon during it but it may have disappeared), so there's still a theoretical point of failure but its a pretty nothing fight until the last 15 seconds when it drops like 5 spawns at once.

I’ve played this game forever and been conked and gilded or whatever and I’ve done a few hero runs this season. Some have been fairly smooth and some have been anything but, seems like it’s highly dependent on whether your teammates also go hard in the paint. The one constant this season has been that poo poo is way less fun and is way more tedious. I have a real job where I get to slam my dick in a drawer all day, so I’m not sure why they are tuning a 7 year old live service game to turn my hobby into a second one! If I ever felt like the game should be work I could always do master raids or whatever. Now everything feels like it has PvE SBMM.

Finally pounded through a few legendary lost sectors at 1810 with artifact and man, the difficulty scaling is just all out of whack in this game now. I have to hit red bar shitters three times with my hammer to kill them, meanwhile in a dungeon hammer donks almost one-shot everything but the bosses. Why is the hard content easy and the medium content so ball-crushingly slow?

Destiny 2 uses a "most powerful buff of X type" system to prevent stacking - for example, if you have two buffs of Type A that give +10% and +20%, you'll only get +20%. The damage modifier for Hawkmoon and Lucky Pants are of the same type, so the game just uses the highest available modifier. Lucky Pants work incredibly well with The Last Word, so you might want to try giving that a shot if you happen to have it!

Turned The Variable down to normal, instantly got a solo flawless (well, second try, since on the first I got killed by a physics glitch). Just barely over 30 minutes, too Here's a clip from my face cam during the second encounter:

I thought it was difficult but doable and fun once I focused and played well. It was a good challenge and required a little bit of thinking with what build to use at certain points. Even felt a little disappointed when I finished because i just used a chill clip fusion on the last phase of the boss to chain stuns while also running around the arena in a panic trying to scrounge up more special ammo because I was really bad at aiming the wendigo at longer ranges. IDK how it's considered hardcore when it's just a stupid optional weapon with a difficult challenge that you could do in a group. Edit: I was also at 1810 with artifact power included.
