Insanely disappointed that they scrapped the original model for The Explicator and just used a standard Colossus? It was especially jarring after all that setup for 'Psions worshipped Nez'? and the fact that a Smart Guy Job would never be given to a Colossus lol



I wonder what was causing issues with it.

It was the Buff Psion size from the Psi Ops Battlegrounds. Bigger than standard but much smaller than Kargen.

His immunity shield was literally the planets spinning around him which was going to be cool as hell and also make it much easier to see whether it's light or dark plate time :smith:

they should’ve delayed Lightfall.. I’m really digging it, it kicks rear end insanely, but an extra few months would’ve allowed them to shore a lot of stuff up

I think they’ve just got The Pokémon Problem atm where so much is reliant on a given release that the number-crunchers wouldn’t allow it, which is a bummer, but probably an easier resolution for a Western company (and a live game) than it will be for TPC

I mean LF is like the first expansion they don’t delay in forever so it’s not like they don’t if things on their end are really bad.

As with so many games, I'd love to hear a bit of a "behind the scenes" deal with what the original plan for WQ/LF/FS expansions were - Strand getting pushed to LF and the connections to Deepsight seem obvious, but I'd love to have the speculation confirmed, and to hear what sort of stuff was actually planned/not done for LF, what corners had to be cut, etc. etc.

Cause we can speculate and assume, but it's never really gonna be the same as hearing it from the (star)horse's mouth.

It’s possible—even likely—we eventually get a postmortem presentation at GDC, but not as long as there are still YouTube content creators to misinterpret devspeak and stir up death threats over things like the difference between a live game and a boxed product

I mean, is there anything confirming that was the Explicator's original model? We still have one more defiant battleground, one Neomuna Partition, and presumably an end of season mission to go yet where a Large Psion could show up.

I doubt they'd use such an unique model for any of those activities, and the orbs just scream "planets" but I also have no idea where the model came from, like if it was specifically ripped from the LF files or something.

Seems like it'd be a pretty easy fight.

Then I realized: Sparrow run/escape.

Today's LLS is so much easier than the other two I thought it must have been a mistake. You can exhaust the adds! You can retreat! You can move between cover points without being obliterated! It's like it fell out of a time portal from January 2023!

Hero or Legend? I ran it a few times on Hero, and while I did die a lot there aren't many darkness zones so you can wipe at the boss and just keep going and get it eventually.

A bad team can make or break it as well, if nobody's clearing adds. I would say go for adds first, and then if you discover your team mates are also going for the adds, switch to fulfilling the objective. But yeah, if your team mates are bad at the game it's going to be rough.

Hero, but I made the horrible mistake of trying to use this week's nightfall to grind out the stupid Beyond Light quest to get access to a second Stasis aspect, since I did not have it unlocked on my Warlock yet.

Oh ouch. Ironically it's a lot easier with the stasis turret, which you probably haven't got yet.

What LS is it?

E) is Parasite worm launcher good for anything or basically just as novelty as it seems?

if you know what you’re doing and have time to prep Parasite is insane single-target damage but I don’t think it’s the meta anywhere at this time. great set of missions to unlock it though

The final mission for it is super fun, and the weapon is cool & useful

It only has one current role as Meta Pick (Atraks-1 in Deep Stone Crypt raid) but it's a powerful weapon and a great pick for activities with flexible loadouts.
