Love when I carry a team a new lights in dares only to get an ant eater right when the boss dies, get no loot or commendations. Especially after struggling to do one lost sector for almost an hour because somehow those are loving GM level now.

Kith posted:To summarize what everyone else said: Honestly yeah, this is the big take away. The season has been rad. A lot of changes have been rad. The game is rad. There are definitely some issues, but there always is, but the real issue is the campaign fell flat for a whole lotta people. I think it didn't really hit me because honestly I sped through to unlock Strand and all the bobbits, and then called it good. I can dig that people have some issues with the story and campaign, totally fair. But game is fun. To add in with the extra difficulty I like they're bumping primary damage mid-season. That will go a good way to helping it feel like you aren't using pea-shooters, and ultimately smooth the curve of damage/health. It was also pretty inevitable, just happening sooner than I figured. I have my own gripes with the game, but nothing I don't expect to be addressed. Some of them are fun to think about tho.

Congrats! It's honestly the hardest PvE Content in the game. I think Duo might be the easiest way to go, because a death isn't a wipe, and you don't have the insane number of adds and ungodly Boss HP from a trio It's bizarre that this is supposed to be comparable to Legendary Seraph Shield?

Legendary Seraph Shield was a leisurely stroll (apart from a couple sweaty boss fights) in an interesting venue. The vexcalibur mission was an experience I have no plans to repeat. Got all the way to the final phase of the boss, died in the final phase panic room, was reset back to the start of the encounter. Took a few minutes as break, ruminated a bit. "gently caress this, nothing about this is fun" and back to orbit. Shame I won't get the latest gimmick exotic but I can live without it. Even if I got it, repeating that mission to do all the catalyst stuff is a "hell no". What a non-fun slog.

Died once last phase then finally cleared it. Not gonna do legendary for the catalyst because it would be painful. No checkpoint sucks for that mission.

i had a pretty easy time with solo legendary avalon once i realized i needed to prioritize wyverns. i was very nearly flawless in my most recent run, but died once to an easily preventable mistake: not prioritizing wyverns and getting (literally) kicked out of the safe zone. e: i was too busy setting up my dumb-rear end music to actually press the correct button to make it legendary so it was actually a normal mode run. i am very smart.

Grave robber is available, but I honestly have no idea how the unlock works at this point. I did my first run of legendary this week and got it, not the first catalyst from last week. But like I said the other day, my glaive unlock is bugged all to gently caress because I cannot unlock the other perks even though I did the mission "correctly" for those when they were released. It's annoying, but I really only wanted them for the handling and shield duration buffs but I'm happy just being able to not have to do that long rear end reload so long as I'm getting melee kills. Haven't seen bungie mention it at all, so I'll just try it all again after weekly reset and see what happens I guess.

This appears to be a Normal Mode difficulty run! Just to double check, have you noticed that the difficulty is selectable when you launch it? The catalysts, some cosmetics, and the season title are locked behind Legendary runs

This week's Partition mission has got to be one of the worst missions I've ever played in the history of this game, saved only by the fact that at least it's fairly easy. The gently caress was Bungie thinking on this one?

Just to make it extra complicated, the base difficulty for the activity is named with the activity name (“NODE.OVRD.AVALON”) instead of Hero for whatever reason. Nothing else in the game does that so I also didn’t realize it was a difficulty picker at first

just stay ahead of or behind him and only pass through in an emergency, like the big spinning wall in the Headlong mission. except unlike that he will even bounce some of the red bars to death for you

Anyone who says he moves on a set track or anything is a big liar, the ball is always right behind you at the worst possible time.

One last Trials match. If I don't get even a doo-doo unusable 0/5 straight rear end roll of that loving smg I wont use then I will put myself in the destiny content vault. the ball is in your court bungie.... EDIT: Went 0/5 and got nothing.

Although in my opinion Bunker is not a good day for farming since it takes a long time compared to the DC, EDZ and Nessus ones in the rotation this season. The robot friends will make for nice easy 10 minute flawless runs if you need the triumph still!

Rather than actually fix this, Bungie removing Umbral engrams had a side effect of making it a lot harder to pull off filling your engrams inventory. I guess when you outlevel prime engrams you can just let them sit. Currently regretting turning in all my old umbrals.

There are like 30 eververse engrams in the season pass track, leave em there till you need to stuff engrams a couple times during the season.

Yeah the Season Track Bright Engrams are a great way to fill it up. Also if you play Trials you get Engrams deposited directly into the tray still, for some reason.

What's the purpose of filling up on engrams?

Even doing three games of Trials is enough to remind me why I don’t play Trials. It is the most dumb gently caress game design in all of Destiny and considering the ground that covers, thats pretty impressive. The Pinnacle PVP mode at its core, relies on high skill players getting to farm low skill players. By setting the requirement of 7 wins with no losses, it means that if you use SBMM, going to the Lighthouse would actually be a top tier achievement, but there would be far less farming of Adept rolls for the hard cores, no carries and other sub farming methods for the streamers, so that cannot stand. As a result we have a mode where its all determined by random matchups on the same record, it’d be like if a NFL team got to the Super Bowl by beating an army reserve team, three womens teams, two high school teams and 2 rugby league teams. If you proposed this for a CCG or wargame tournament, you’d get laughed out of the industry. The hard cores farming bad players like me will claim its an opportunity to git gud, but frankly the skill/reaction time gulfs you encounter are outside the zone of proximal development, I die too fast to even parse what happened, let along learn from the experience. The actual fix is to make going to the Lighthouse require going 5-2 and put in strict SBMM.

Spanish Manlove posted:What's the purpose of filling up on engrams? Lost sector exotic rewards are wonky in that if your engrams are full they go to the postmaster and they won’t become a proper exotic until you make space and claim there. Here’s the kicker, they will turn into whatever exotic part the day’s lost sector is. So you can (using today as an example) farm the lost sectors for exotic engrams, have them go to the postmaster, wait for a helmet/leg/arms day, then claim them when what you’re after is up.

The main advantage of doing this is saving time by farming an "easy" Lost Sector and opening the engrams on the correct day. By losing the quickest way to fill your inventory with low-ish value engrams like umbrals, its harder take advantage of. Imagine spending hours doing unfun content to save a modest amount of time doing other unfun content.

Spanish Manlove posted:Ah ok that makes sense now. It's really nice to be able to pre-earn the New Exotics on your own terms. No need to log on if you're busy on Leg Day, or you really don't want to do a specific tedious Lost Sector or whatever. And when a new season rolls around, you don't have to grind up a bunch of Artifact Power & Mods before you can comfortably handle 1830 content. You simply wait until Correct Slot Day and harvest your ripe fruits from the postmaster! It's by far the most universally recommended 'cheese' in the game. Nobody likes grinding those lost sectors, so anything that makes it easier, faster, and more rewarding is a real good plan.

Just claim a handful of those Season Track Bright Engrams & get farming. The benefit is also enormous. If you're one of the few 'no postmaster exotic cheese for me' holdouts, you don't know what you're missing! Using the new exotics right out of the gate for the Legendary Campaign was great fun & really helped Strand shine. GoGoGadgetChris fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Mar 20, 2023 |
