I've had my commendations screen be broken like that for the past week or so, and I can confirm that the 'load into a raid and leave' trick worked to fix me.

Did they fix the Callus cheese? I can't do it anymore. That mission sucks I kind of hate being forced to use strand.

Get a pal to run strand titan and spam Calus with the shackle grenade. With the Strand boost you can get them back by the time his stun wears off and just do it over and over. I helped a buddy this way and didn’t realize we did it on legendary. It was MUCH harder before that.

Use all of the free grapple points to abuse the gently caress out of the grapple melee. If you're on Hunter, use Assassin's Cowl, if you're on Warlock, use Karnstein, if you're on Titan, uhhhhhhhhhhh I dunno, I haven't found a super broken combo there yet. Paracelsus posted:Forcing people to test their patience with an underpowered version of the kit in order get access to the good version was a dubious decision. At the time, I loving hated this. I hated how my carefully curated loadout just kept getting shoved down a pile of stairs to use this half-baked thing that I couldn't customize at all and I just couldn't beat the Osiris training mission against the Vex to save my loving life, but it eventually forced me to rethink how I was doing it, and then I found the Assassin's Cowl combo and everything kinda clicked. I still think they could've done it more elegantly (letting me actually look at the poo poo I had equipped would've been a nice start), but forcing me to use Strand forced me to think about building around what Strand could do.

As far as I can tell it’s only required to grapple to the platform with the AA guns in the Calus mission. Otherwise it’d be nice to be able to switch back to whatever you started with instead of forcing the gimped setup. I have quite a few of the strand powers purchased, and even then you can’t adjust your build from what they offer after you “look within.”

Campaign Strand was so OP. Mayhem cooldowns and something like 3x damage against calus? 5x or more maybe? I kept thinking Osiris was just adding flavor by saying stuff like "strand is the only thing calus won't have seen coming" but he was trying to say to the player, "Strand deals hyper super mega bonus damage. Use often!" All that silly talk of calus boss cheese when you could just pop super to get him in last stand, kill a few mooks to get another super, and one shot him right out of his thunderdome

Yeah there's a path of wreckage and stuff if you go to the back of the area and jump around. They probably put it in for people like me who hadn't mastered grappling yet and kept falling off

There is a path and I absolutely take it every time rather than fall to my death when the grapple whips me too far from the ship and loses binding. Edit: ^^^^lol

i hate the lightfall campaign because i hate using strand "but kith, strand is good!" so is my other stuff. i do not need strand. i do not want strand. i want my "oh poo poo" button and volatile rounds. any other campaign mission i'll gladly replay, but i'm tired of destiny shoving what i'm "supposed to do" in my face instead of letting me do my own thing. the death of Match Game was celebrated for a reason

That said, it definitely is not fun to feel overly restricted or to be force into using a single thing.

It was a bad idea to both increase the challenge and also force a new thing at the same time. When stuff gets hard of course you want to use your most comfortable, most tweaked, most effective loadout. Not the brand new thing you just got the base unlock for If they really wanted you to use Strand on Calus, he should have been immune to all other damage types at least temporarily

Grappling to the threshers is possible but extremely inconsistent, I was so relieved when I found the alternate path.

Bungie doesn't seem to understand why a particular carrot or stick works. This is why fishing is fun this season (completely optional, decent loot for the effort you put in) and why they'll gently caress up whatever minigame they go for next, by making it required for X / giving it another layer of in-game currency that you need to spend at another location for no reason / limited loot per week / etc etc

idk I feel like fishing is already kind of hosed up because every 10-15 minutes bungie kicks down the door and goes "okay, time to do a PE, fucker" and I just go to orbit since everyone seems to scatter to the wind after the PE is done anyways

Both are puzzles, but I've already agreed they're different kinds of puzzles. Sometimes the raid puzzle is very much "dont use your preferred build and loadout because div and well make a world of difference" But I do agree, I enjoy puzzles involving coordination and mechanics over "have the right counters" - I just think the latter *can* open up players to trying things they normally might not - there's some value to that.

There is no reason to do Master Raids at all apart from titles (Epeen), love of the game or personal achievement. The armor stats suck, the adept perks are minusculely better than normal and the juice is most def not worth the squeeze. You do master raids mostly because you love the game and you're chasing the type of difficulty, engagement, fun and sense of accomplishment you got out of Contest mode imo. Its fun to do hard things with your friends. Most normal mode raids are total AFK/Auto-pilot fests at this point. Running with a competent crew is basically akin to 6 nerds grunting at each other as you one bang every encounter if you don't know each other. There is rarely a reason to convene ~ the crew ~ in order to tackle a piece of engaging, challenging content and I think Destiny is worse off for it. You never need to really load up on guns and bring your friends and I'd love for them to bring back or refresh alot of the older seasonals or expansion activities with Master level options, especially the six man space. We get a master raid (only 4 master raids in the game boooooooo refresh all the old ones with master), wellspring.....legendares?kinda? as "difficult" or engaging6 man content outside of the Master Raid space and it makes me sad. Master Wellspring is a great little espresso shot of more difficult than average 6 man content. I'd kill for a Master version of Splicer's Override with Master Ketchcrash and Master Salvage in a little node to bang out for some crafting mats or golfballs or something. I really hope they keep this sort of like optional difficulty thing in the seasonals and various activties a-la deep dive because the seasonals could actually be engaging to play now instead of just dicking around. Salvage needs like 3x the adds. MASTER DEEPDIVE/SALVAGE WHEN!? It makes me sad that my vault is an absolute arsenal of weapons and armors of all shapes and sizes and the only time any of it really matters is Contest, Master, Lowman or a few GM's because the rest of the game is so easy. re: Well Bungie has to continue to design encounters around well until they rip it out of the game because it is by far the best skill in the game. They could make solar warlocks trade their powered meele and grenade for well and it would still be the best thing in the game.
