How hard are legend-difficulty weekly campaign missions? I need to do three to finish rank 8 and I should just ask goons anyway but I'm curious what level of effort Id be getting myself into

They are not difficult, maybe regular nightfall? Calus at the end is a bit of a slog.

Hmm, in the TWID it looks like the redbar pattern drop rate change was under the Neomuna weapon section. Did it apply only to those or all potential craftables?

It's separate bullet points.

The Neomuna change is specific to that planet's reward loop, and the same change was made to the Throne World's reward loop:

quote:

The Neomuna vendor engram upgrade will increase the drop chance of Deepsight Neomuna weapons. This is retroactive if you have already claimed the vendor upgrade.

The Throne World vendor engram upgrade will also receive the same behavior for the Throne World Deepsight weapons, and again this will be retroactive.

The bug fix is a different item and only mentions Neomuna as a place where it was particularly painful:

quote:

Season 22 will also include a bug fix in the underlying Deepsight drop system that manifested from the major overhaul we did for Lightfall. This bug could decrease the Deepsight drop rate as you neared the completion of a pattern set. Although this Deepsight bug on its own would normally have a low impact on Deepsight behavior, the problem was exacerbated when coupled with the lack of deterministic Deepsight sources for Neomuna weapons.

So yes, I would expect the raid red bar rate to increase after the patch

have you tried doing the quest where you complete the raid? :v:

But I assume you mean rando drops, but I didn't really notice anything funny happen with my drops. Some weeks were luckier then others, and that kind of remained true across my runs / it didn't feel like it got any worse as I went.

e: I"m tempted to assume the intention of whatever it was, was to make it so your patterns would spread out a bit, so rather then RNG giving like 5 patterns of one gun in a row and no others, you'd be more likely to finish them all out at the same time.

Legend missions or legendary missions?

The latter are a bit harder and will have champions, but are also matchmade, so if you aren't a complete potato you can press the button and muddle through with two meat shields

It’s the latter, yeah. Still lol that they haven’t come up with a better name (although I get the appeal of sticking to Legend given the “Become Legend” tagline. still, c’mon!!!)

Isn't Legendary the Campaign modifier, with no champions, and Legend is one of the End Game Difficulty settings (Hero, Legend, Master) that does have Champions?

Man they need to unfuck their naming conventions

yes! and Legendary is also the purple weapons and armor, though it’s not as bad there since we mostly talk about them by name after the first like 10 hours of gameplay

When I am become President of Video Games, I will also ensure that all games follow a standard coloring convention for rarity

It will go White -> Blue -> Yellow -> Purple -> Green and it will lead to widespread nuclear warfare

That feel when I just sharded by vorpal Cantata last night i've had since it came out.

Wicked Implement was already one of my favs, and headstone makes it literally do everything a stasis primary weapon needs to do.

I wish I got it, but my friends and I gave it one attempt, got about 1/4 of bosses HP down in one phase and said "Eh, gently caress it. Let's go do literally anything else."

But at the same time, I am kind of lukewarm on Destiny 2 right now so I don't feel too bad I didn't get it.

Headstone plus its perk will activate off of shattering stasis crystals. That's gonna make it pretty darn consistent at producing slow, crystals and shards. Plus with Chill Clip getting a bit of a sack tap....lot to like about Wicked Implement going forward.

I do not look forward to 12 weeks of figuring out why we can't res savathun, and then 12 weeks of figuring out why savathun cannot open a door. However, I do look forward to Fred Tatasciore being a dick to us. He's fuckin great in everything he's in and Immaru is no exception

EDIT: oh, looks like Immaru was David Shaughnessy, not Fred Tatasciore. Dang. Oh well, I will still enjoy it.

I mean it's not a difficult excuse to imagine. Group A still hates Guardians (probably because we killed a bunch of their friends), Group B is fanatically loyal to Savathun/Immaru and will fall in line. Minor groups are "we don't trust anything that's not Hive" and "honestly the Last City seems kind of nice because it's not Constant Sacrifice Deathpit"

Not sure if it's a reflection of the state of pvp, something broken on the backend or what, but I turned crossplay off at 9PST to see how long it would take to find a control match on PS5.

I turned it back on after 5 full minutes and the matchmaking still sitting at 1 found

Mainly I have been getting a sense lately that even casual pvp is stale and awful and I'm not sure what happened. With TTK seeming to trend down due to powercreep and FEELING like there are people using hacks in crossplay (anecdotally, I have no proof of this), the game feels like it's moving towards CoD which doesn't fit its maps or how I think the game should be thematically.

Idk. Maybe I'm just getting old :corsair:

Some of their ghosts convince them to join the Vanguard and everyone has wacky fish out of water adventures. A few of them google "New Monarchy" and get exciting ideas about Zavala and tribute

Unrelated but I like the lore tab on the one weapon with a captured Hive wizard chatting with a guardian. It's trying to get the guardian to kill it because it's really putting a hamper on the sword logic and the guardian's being a real baby about it (ie; doing their job and not shooting the prisoner).
