I’m sure once the main story wraps up and the game everyone left to work on launches things will finally pick up around here.

Dungeon down. Cool environment and really cool concept. Most of the mechanics are fun individually but the middle encounter piles on a few too many (I think there are more steps to get a DPS phase than for the final boss) and the boss shield mechanic and health pools are a big gently caress you to solo players who are now required to run arbalest to get sizable DPS windows

For that matter, arbalest being an OHK on a shield that appears to have about several hundred thousand health seems unintentional and I wonder if that will change in the future

A video of an MMO streamer who plays VOG blind for the first time.
https://youtu.be/kU1JPtlU7FI

Highlights:
- No in-game LFG for an MMO is insane and bad.
- The beginning takes far too long
- Jumping puzzles are bad
- The bosses are all very fun and well designed
- The environments are fantastic and well designed
- The Gorgon Labyrinth is utter bullshit for new players
- Nimbus is an awful character.
- He still hasn't finished the new campaign because it's incredibly boring.

I have to assume this is some kind of company wide directive to avoid reusing levels assets after people made fun of them for reusing so many levels in Halo CE.

It's the only way to get Divinity so it's probably ticked up recently

It (the black garden) also an artifact from D1Y1 so it probably doesn't fit into the newest story design very well

there are people who do basically nothing but farm it. here's a link to a reddit AMA by one of them with a link to their GoS discord

so the new titan exotic chest is completely useless?

you have to do a pretty long animation, and then you... get to throw your barricade

it will apply stuff like the strand suspend blast and void overshield... so the most optimal thing I can think of is to save your teammates, maybe

I tried using it aggressively in pvp because barricades do a lot of damage if people walk through them, but the hitbox is pretty slim so it's hard to connect and guess what? I ended up just saving them since they used it for cover

Legendary lost sectors are absolutely terrible slogs until some magical light level threshold where they become totally fine. Overall it really sucks, but people keep talking about light level going away so maybe that's the way it will get fixed

they're fine, ran them yesterday and today, just have a good loadout and a plan,

and actually be levelled up a bit- although they didn't raise the powercap this season (good) they still reset the artifact power, so this first week you're probably 15 below at minimum, most likely much more.

also never ever farm them for exotics, it's not worth that. just do them for the new exotic and then forget about em.

Yep. I got a red frame Transfiguration and someone else got a Supremacy so it wasn't just a fluke/glitch.

The downside is it can also drop armor. Either way, it's definitely worth nabbing on all three characters every week just for the chance.

there was literally a mission there in lightfall. It was pretty good.

It (the black garden) also an artifact from D1Y1 so it probably doesn't fit into the newest story design very well

it is extremely relevant nowadays. lightfall spoilers i guess: the vex were trying to recreate the veil in there. that's what the black heart was. it's also got a lot of poo poo going on in there with it being the point of creation of the universe. The mesa is the original tree of silver wings, cut down... and that's still incredibly relevant.

We'll probably hear a bit more about the black garden, but I dont know if we'll see new areas of it.

I fully anticipate we’re not gonna be getting many answers about the Vex until the “Light and Darkness Saga” is over. They’ve got a lot of really awesome lore that makes them intimidating in their own right, maybe enough to be the new main antagonists of the franchise.

Imo it's an amazing trials exotic, being able to cut off lines with barricade is huge. Everywhere else there's no use for it

Is that in an activity you've done a ton of this week, and does it persist across activities?

I don't know what happened with the season change but I can't get through anything it seems. End of last season I was doing alright did some heroic nightfalls was holding my own with solar bonk titan. I'm now at the point where I have gotten stuck on both the operation thunderbolt boss and the tormentor for the new strand thing. I've tried arc titan with hoil but the abilities don't seem to come back fast enough. I just have no idea what to do now.

I swear things were hitting me harder in the nightfalls. I assume it's just some weird early seasons power/confirmation bias thing but I feel you.

It may be partly that and it may be that this week is a particularly dangerous nightfall- Fallen plus arc threat means almost everything is doing 25% more damage

The corrupted is the next NF in rotation right? Goddamn I hate that one.

I was on a team that one-shorted Sedia somehow in the first phase. Maybe a Cuirass of the Falling Star ult? I know I could do that on the one at the Cabal Drill site, but I don’t remember if that was nightfall or normal.
