I ground out 10 LLS to try to get my hunter star eater scales and did not get a single exotic drop. Usually everytime I do a couple lost sectors i'll at least get one exotic. I don't understand this system.

I just did three of them this evening and no exotic drops yet either

On a happy note I'm finally able to run LLS with a ll of 815

I was told to kick it up to Master instead of Legend, and I got my Assembler Boots
And if there were ever a LLS to do on Master, it's Aphelion's Rest.
You should never die in there, unless you're just running around all the cover, directly slamming your mouth into enemy fire.

Tried using the god mode cheese on the weekly story mission and ground it out to the end only to have the part where the room...zooms? (never could really tell what was supposed to be happening there) bug out and stick me in the ceiling with no way to get out

Sorry, I was hogging all the LLS luck today, got three exotics in the first four runs. (And then had a run of 7 or 8 without one...)

In the Tassi article he mentions that "Reaper and Firepower don't work" and that's just not true? First thing I did after the patch was use my Void Loadout, dodge, throw grenade, and shoot a dude. Two orbs, as intended.

Now, my personal gribe with the way orbs are made is that it's dumb that they just trigger once. As in, throw a grenade, kill five guys? One orb. Throw a Stasis frisbee, kill three doods? One orb. Now I get that they don't want people to throw one grenade and get a billion orbs that recharge grenades (which is :sad: honestly) but like, let us stack mods to increase how many can come off the trigger at least?

I would love to see the wacky hijinx of a Stasis frisbee build with three slots used for Heavy Handed to generate (up to) three orbs per frisbee. Because it would require three friggin slots.

The one orb per source thing is weird to me, and will continue to be.

Yes. Confirmed by self earlier today. Got a helm on Titan I had not otherwise unlocked (and in fact gave up on grinding for just hours beforehand).

If you can beat a LLS without a huge amount of struggling, don't be afraid to switch to Master mode. It's a very minor increase in difficulty, and the exotic drop rates are much better.

The exotic effect far outweighs the stats, just don’t masterwork around that piece for now I guess. Technically it’s an exotic that gets benefit from super so you can glass-half-full it by saying you get your super faster?

Cybernetic Crumb
If you're willing to grapple into an enemy's face and punch them to death in high end PvE, getting rewarded with two orbs and a bit more super is a valid tradeoff. I don't agree with this change.

However 100% uptime woven mail from triple grenade kickstart hitting grapple points with Facade was probably a bit much. Same with infinite grapple flight.

Firepower is definitely hosed right now. It'll say on the feed that you spawned an orb and the orb just won't appear. Reaper and Heavy Handed appear to be working just fine.

good points all around. I'm still building my repository of high point armor so I'm not close to masterworking anything atm

I've never used star eater scales before but I hear they're good for high damage. I'll give them a try and if I like them I'll try to farm better versions (I'm still waiting to get back my beloved gryfalcons :sigh:)

I think broadly he’s quite well-liked tbh, lots of citing his articles across all the different Destiny fan spaces.

I have beef with him for acting like playing the stupid Harry Potter game was an incredibly important and necessary act even though it was mid and immediately left public consciousness lol and he’s also just wrong about everything in Destiny that isn’t a matter of opinion—there was a very funny post once on a dev’s personal account that was an affectionate subtweet about how dumb one of his suggestions for a bug fix was, though I’m not sure I could find it again

but yeah I don’t think he’s a designated community enemy or anything, not like Darkside Royalty or Verlisify in Pokémon are

Dude isn't a professional gamer, which sounds miserable, but a professional poster, and to that end sometimes says things that are bad and wrong, but then still gets paid.

So, uh, aspirations honestly. If y'all wanna send me a buck or two each for my posts I think that's fair.

Has Bungie posted anything about if vendor engrams are going to persist across seasons?

Windows 11 gets a security fix – but it has broken some PC games

quote:

As Windows Latest(opens in new tab) reports, after the latest update for Microsoft Defender – one that’s pushed automatically to the app – affected users are seeing a confusing warning that states: “Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection is off. Your device may be vulnerable.”

Kernel-mode what now? In a nutshell, this is a freshly updated Windows 11 security feature (which was introduced with 22H2) that uses the processor to give software or games additional security (protecting the memory stack, and preventing a would-be attacker from leveraging an opportunity to run malicious code).

The warning from the Windows Security app gives the user the opportunity to toggle stack protection back on, but the problem is that if this is done, it fails to work (in some instances, anyway) – and the warning persists.

The underlying issue is an apparent driver conflict, although it would seem that in many cases, it’s anti-cheat features that are throwing a serious spanner in the works with Windows 11.

...
It’s not just old titles like PSO2 that are hit by this problem, but newer games including Destiny 2 and Valorant which also employ anti-cheat systems that can be hooked deeply into the OS.

TLDR: Bungie has been too lazy to update BattlEye, and now it's broken with the latest version of Windows 10 and 11. :allears:
