I know it SAYS you can get nightfall and exotic stuff from the GG playlist, but has it actually happened for anyone? I know did at least 15 of them last week cause I did the thing for the seal, but I sure as poo poo didn't get any militias. I think I got an exotic exactly once, but I'm pretty certain it was from the pinnacle reward.

Over the last week I got Nezarec's Sin, Boots of the Assember, and Eye of Another World. There might have been one more I forgot

I'm a Hunter main and yes, that tracks, I am really not motivated to win. Titans can win, they can also be dorks who are like, *trying* to win. Gross. Imagine being, or getting, good. Disgusting.

Edit: also I accidentally wandered into a Vex Incursion event when I was playing with my girls today and got Star Eater Scales, which I had yet to pull, but on a sweet roll of 59, hell yeah.

Actually, upgrade my bullshit claims from earlier, because tbh I haven't seen Titans lose a round in a week now.

Just watched four Thundercrashes all occur, and Blade Barrage isn't even at 30%.

supremacy has a (hidden? not sure if it's actually mentioned in game) mechanic where getting a 'crest spree' by picking lots of them up gives a whole bunch of ability regen, including super.

why yes, this DOES mean the game mode is even more a stompfest than usual

Oh is that so? Played a group of hunters yesterday and I swear one guy cast golden gun at least 8 times.

Playing that playlist as titan, I've only played against hunters...which is really bad when your team has barely 1 k/d and the other team is all 4+ k/d. The other mixed class mode is way less sweaty with people having fun instead of 6 trials hunters with Immortals.

I'm confident the artifact will focus on Strand & Arc next season, but curious if they'll bother with a third!

They gotta get Stasis in there, especially after giving it basically nothing through the subclass or exotic updates.

I think the latter is intentional and a good sign they won't get stasis in there. Strand is a $$$$ product for sale right now, and they don't want Stasis-Havers to think, "eh why bother opening up the ol checkbook when Blue Strand is just as good!"

Plus they probably want to throw a bone to the F2P crowd and avoid having two paid subclasses & only 1 free subclass in the artifact

I bet we get Stasis for the 3rd season of the year though.

Fun Shoe
if you're a stasis enjoyer, verglas curve on stasis warlock is amazing fun, in any content where a bow headshot can kill red bars. the stasis warlock kit is absolutely not balanced around access to on-demand crystals to break for fragment of shards; bungie deliberately made them the only class without easy access to them for a very good reason.

They could just have Strand be the third option much like it is now (maybe with different effects?) while also supporting Arc/Stasis.

They could, but that's exactly what I think is UNlikely, for the reasons I posted in that post.

I miss Stasis so I very much HOPE it gets some love, I just don't see it happening in next season's artifact

Athrys' Embrace just gives bonus Strength? Boo. The original leak looked like it was precision kills recharge melee. Maybe they decided that was too powerful. Either way, guess I'm still not bothering with them.

Also I still don't understand Strand being Better Stasis. They play so very differently. It's the same as saying Void with Volatile and Arc with Jolt make them the same thing, but right now Void is better. Also lol at the idea that they're just giving up on Stasis, that doesn't make any sense at all.

Oathkeeper sounds fun tho. Bonus damage for a few seconds should make the usual suspects even more bonkers. Raiju's Harness adds a blind effect, yay! But also removes one of the main things it does...

Mask of Bakris plus an Arc Special Weapon seems fun as hell tho. Stasis primary and Arc secondary seem like they'll be awesome given you don't (can't) waste any slots on Arc surge mods.

They should make Whisper of Rending keep the big (43%?) Primary damage buff to frozen enemies but pop a lil 25% bonus against slowed enemies in there too. As a treat :3:

Edit: a one or two second delay because you can't stop fiddling with your poo poo is fine, suck it up nerds :smug:

This is a consistent weird logic of theirs. Many years and sandboxes ago, they once said that Shoulder Charge was rarely used for Combat because of how weak it is, and as a result people only use it for Movement

Bungie: So we are nerfing the Movement element

If there's one thing Bungie has consistently shown it's that, despite everyone on Reddit claiming otherwise, they really want to have their engagement numbers as high as they can. If they were willing to just ditch Stasis then why even revamp other subclasses to the extent they have? Yes, Strand is the new hotness, and the whole subclass team thing is limited. And also the whole Stasis isn't actually useless and bad and just Blue Strand is a factor tbh. Stasis could use some buffs and tweaks, but not so desperately as people think.

"Stasis bad, bungie just giving up on it" smells like the same sort of thing as "omg warlocks/titans/hunters are so bad right now, Bungie has just given up on them and no longer care." Like, Bungie makes dumb design decisions, but they aren't guilty of making specifically spiteful decisions despite what everyone who feels specifically targeted by a nerf says.

If they wanted to show players that they still gave a gently caress about Stasis, they would unfuck the entire process you have to take to get all your aspects and poo poo.
They haven't and likely won't until fuckin whenever(maybe) so as it st(r)ands, they've given up on it.

Some of the posters in this thread make up a thing and then fixate on that thing like it's undeniable truth. Like Bungie makes a lot of mistakes, more than a developer that size and experience should, but some of these assumptions are just insane. Destiny makes a ton of money, Bungie probably wants it to continue making money. Alienating your players by doing acts of hand-wringing evil does the opposite of that.
