https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTGTbWqooZQ I know some people were unhappy with the artifact's champion options, here's a very quick, simple way to have a gun that singlehandedly handles both Barriers and Unstoppables completely out of the box. It's slow, but it works.

i haven't played since forsaken and thought it would be fun to re-run the campaign and maybe check out season of the wish. well, there is no campaign anymore. i also don't know how to access season of the wish, though the director tells me its "active". returning players spawn in the tower (at least, i do). there's lot of random stuff in the director. do i actually have to play all the intervening content? do i just guess the order? i'm sorry to ask this dumbshit question in the thread but i legit spent close to 2 hours trying to figure it out myself last night by bouncing between the game and google. i gave up and started a new character to see what happens (i believe its running me through the Destiny 1 intro mission, which i've never played) anyone return to the game recently and have any insight?

Forsaken Campaign is gone, although Ikora has a curtailed version of the first mission that will also roughly summarize everything that happened between Forsaken and now if you talk to her. I would recommend making Ikora your first stop. She'll also have some quests to get you up to speed with the new subclass 3.0 system. If you'd like to play Season of the Wish, you should be able to buy it in the store. I dunno if it'll automatically start the mission after that, I assume it would be in the Dreaming City if not. If you want, you can go to orbit, hold L2 (or whatever the equivalent would be), and tell us all of the stuff that's there or tell us all the stuff your director and quest tab is shoving in your face and we can help you parse through it.

I appreciated Verdant Forest for being an activity you could do theoretically infinitely. It was fun to see just how far you could get. I'm pretty sure I prefer Haunted Forest to Haunted Sectors. Either way, it was nice to see Bungie get some mileage and make some actual fun activities out of what was probably one of the worst areas they ever put into the game.

You've found the new light quest which is as near as new players get for onboarding, and after that I guess the idea is you're so impressed by the game that you buy all the dungeon keys and xpacks. The general consensus seems to be that if the legacy pack is on sale (which it is at the moment), it's good value because it includes the Witch Queen, then if you still like the game go get Lightfall so you can get strand.

haunted forest loving ruled and i desperately want them to do more poo poo like it "fight through random hallways full of dudes to fight big scary dudes in large rooms for decent rewards" is a very simple formula and it's honestly baffling to me that destiny has come so close to a codified version thereof so many times and yet always fell short of adapting it into the game proper

that's honestly the greatest failing of the seasonal model. re-inventing the treadmill only works so many times.

I always wonder what would've happened if they'd taken one specific super popular seasonal activity like Menagerie and just iterated on it instead of coming up with a new activity entirely. Especially considering how many activities just wound up being Menagerie-lites anyway.

It'd probably be both very good and also have a lot of people mad about re-used content they've already played.

This is funnier when yeah you realise 90% of seasonal activities are classified by the game as either nightfall or menagerie. At least Spire last season and Coil now mostly have enough enemy density to keep things interesting - a couple of the coil rooms could stand to up the spawn rate a bit though still.

Lair is fully randomized, but it's also short and easy Coil is supposed to be hard enough that you have to strategize and build for it, which also means it has to be on some level predictable On the other hand, it also doesn't have locked loadout, so you could in theory let players respond to learning what the next challenge is, but everyone messing with their build after every segment would kill the momentum

I haven’t heard strike dialogue after the first run in like four years the audio is just an example, the actual point i was making was that strikes are the same poo poo from start to finish. if you're on europa, you immediately know that you're going to be loving around in the guts of the coldamidion killing some fallen until you get to a big room where you fight a big hydra and also another smaller hydra. load into savathun's throne world and you're going to be running around in a mind palace and then mucking about in a swamp and then fighting THE LIGHTBLADE once again. pop into the EDZ and you know you're going to be escorting a shard a couple times and then hopping around a dam until you fight a big man who's just desperate to show you his rear end.  it's not the dialogue that's the problem, it's that there's no variety in the sets. the playlist itself may be random, but that's just shuffling what wrote memorization you're calling upon for the next while, not providing any meaningful discovery or reaction within the activity itself. Meiteron posted:Fwiw having done a couple full runs of Coil now this is a 100% accurate description of what Coil is yes, and it rules. however, coil is not here to stay, and that's the issue. bungie is acting like a loving saturday morning cartoon villain with new plans every episode instead of taking the plan that almost worked (or in this case, did work) and improving upon it until it's perfect.

Complaint: Hawkmoon is way too drat expensive at Xur if you haven't unlocked it from the old quest. A new player I know is having difficulty playing because the frontload of unlockables is a gobsmacking grind to approach, and she is a diehard grind-capable.
