All Legendary and Exotic Sparrows will have two speed selection options moving forward: one matching AoT's speed and one matching the older highest speed that was available to offer a choice in handling and speed control. Upon login, players will (in most cases) default to the fastest option immediately and see the speed update to 190. All Legendary and Exotic Sparrows will also move from 100 to 150 health to be more durable to match AoT's health pool.

AoT will continue to retain a few unique benefits, including slightly better fuel economy, slightly lowered enemy aggression, and slightly better side-to-side boost. We're hopeful that these changes will improve player comfort in swapping off of AoT to use their favorite Sparrow in most play sessions, but that their investment in AoT remains valuable.

Good to know existing sparrow will get more durable. I thought the whole "reduced aggro" thing for AoT was one of those things that was listed on the sparrow, but wasn't real (and the extra health was the secret to why it survived more)

Did you do a Haunted Lost Sector yet?

Did you put your manifested pages in the tome next to Eva?

Do you have empty slots in your Inventory?

Are you sure you have any "Spectral" Pages (green sheets of paper) that drop from activities? Killing a HEADLESS ONE! will convert a Spectral Page into a Manifested Page (brown sheet of paper)

Also the AA has never been great but I feel like it's been getting worse, especially in the inventory. There's still a weird purple artifacting to the aliasing a lot of the time too I haven't been able to resolve (and only in the inventory and menus, it's weird). You can see it on the Synthoceps and around the CD on Clovis Bray's mask here.

People keep wanting, thinking or claiming that they'll be Meta for top tier dps but their problem is always gonna be that your total damage from reserves is insanely low!!

Heavy GLs are a pvp treat if you ask me

Their reserves are too low for the damage they offer. There are already so many great heavy weapons, why pick a GL?

C) Having no private matchmaking option.

Yeah, it's an odd choice. There's an intermission, either at the beginning of a fresh run, or right after you fill up the bar and get your chest, where you should have enough time to run to a side and grab them.

I honestly don't think of Anarchy as an HGL, it works fundamentally differently from them. You can't go "if you don't have anarchy just use a legendary instead" the way you could with Prospector.

Heavy GLs need to have at least twice their current base reserves to be in any form viable for higher level PVE. They don't do enough total damage to be a boss dps option, and they don't have the reserves to compete with machine guns for trash killing in bossless encounters.

Lmao, cleared the GM NF a couple times with buds and we felt like going for a master GOTD clear for funsies because someone had a checkpoint at the final boss. We decided not to use Arbalest and just see what happens. After goofing off a little we get to the first damage phase.

We decided to stop doing the master GOTD final boss after the first damage phase. It's not even hard, it's a lot of fun with how much poo poo you get swarmed with (esp as a strand titan! Holy poo poo everything you have is always up it owns), but like hell were we going to sit there another hour

Cool to see Oryx again though. Would've been more fun to have him respawn and do Kingsfall 2 though lmao. Maybe convince him to be a guardian instead :v:

One of the interesting contradictions in lore is that the Hive really don't like necromancy which is why Nokris got banished and yet in what's basically the Hive Bible they blithely give both Xivu and Savathun proper True Deaths and then bring them both back to life. Like, the specific chapter in the books of sorrow even takes a moment to explicitly state "and they died in their Throne World which means this is a real permanent death" and then a couple chapters later it turns out Oryx can bring them back to life just by killing really hard or being clever.

That strikes me as No Resurrections being a real Rules For Thee But Not For Me kind of law as far as the hive are concerned. Oryx would find some way to rationalize it and all the rank and file would probably be too busy being relieved they have a proper king to follow to complain that hard.

I've always enjoyed that the Hive are basically 3 things

1. Space demons
2. A huge mlm scam
3. Led by a loving* family

When the writers forget one of those they get real boring real quick. Even back in D1 it's great how the setup for Taken King is "Oryx found out what you did and he turned the car around"

You can argue that because he did it with killing and because the three of them push each other to be stronger by constantly testing each other, that Oryx bringing them back is still in line with the sword logic, but, you could apply the same thing to Nokris - if the test of existence is too exist, then necromancy is a valid answer to that. If something exists because of necromancy, it exists, period. That means you didn't kill it hard enough. That means your killing is not as perfect as you think it is. Oryx should've seen Nokris' necromancy as a test in the same way he and Savathun and Xivu test each other, instead, he saw it as a slight.

Savathun, on the other hand, always questioned the sword logic and eventually, evolved beyond it. I just don't think Oryx would be capable of the same thing. I think if he came back and got his memories, he would stick around just long enough to kill everybody who brought him back, then he'd smash his own ghost.
