Eva let me pick up the Festival of the Lost quest from her, so she's just aggressively pushing capitalist guardian holiday celebrations at the behest of her corporate overlords

The rocket sidearm from the dungeon is amazing, it feels great to casually swat down the boomer knights in the Crota fight from the other side of the arena while barely even aiming.

Lol I threw like six hundred shards at Eva to buy the Dawning stuff I missed. The one sparrow is tuned to 160 instead of 190

Also lol I got a reconstruction + precision instrument Doomed Petitioner so boss dps problems solved forever

It's borderline busted, you can stagger some enemies forever with it, I love it. It can roll with homing rounds!

e: Lol so the Dawning sucks huh, especially with the weekly missions. The season's kind of a fart so far outside the very good Dungeon

RIP Harbingers btw, and also lol how Crow Regrets Nothing

The quest for the Dawning Memento is SUPER easy. Looks like they took the complaints about the FotL one being an utter pain to heart, because the Dawning one is basically just "get a bunch of snowball kills and then give Eva some cookies" and you get your memento.

The Epic Games Store is giving away a bunch of free stuff for Christmas, and one of the items is the Destiny 2 Legacy Collection- Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, and Witch Queen (basically all the fully intact non-seasonal content prior to Lightfall)

Reminder that Epic is considered a separate platform than Steam so you’d need to have a separate whole Destiny 2 install on epic to use the content from those expansions. You can keep/use the weapons and armor but classes (Stasis) and locations/dungeons are locked to the platform you own the content in.

(Seasons are cross-platform)

I really wish I enjoyed the solar warlock playstyle more, because Dawn Chorus is just ridiculous with the mods right now. I am having a lot of fun with a stasis Osiomancy glove build, though, especially when paired with the new strand fusion and a solar exotic primary. Everything in my general proximity is perpetually frozen, on fire, and/or being eaten alive by bugs.

Yeah I agree, I detest playing solar lock; I usually main voidlock. Solar titan feels way different, and burning maul makes nova bomb look like a chump super. Titans just feel incredibly strong with all the overshields and since Restoration and Cure are available everywhere having a rift feels much less important in pve and pvp.

I do love my lock but feel like they're in desperate need of an overhaul that will never come at the end of the game's lifespan.

Nor Riven now she's easier to get to. I remember earlier today feeling like they haven't updated it for this year, because neither of the two seasonal activities drop snowballs or progress the dawning quests.

The solar HC you get from the Unveiling mission (Epochal Integration) is great as well. Anything with incandescent alongside this season's artifact feels like just explosion after explosion.

Cookies for Nimbus would have RAD or EXTREME in the name. Riven cookies are Ghostberry Cookies.

Hand Cannons have had such a great glow up. They went from never use to being one of my favourite PvE weapon types. As mentioned before Epochal Integration is really good, as is Zaouli's Bane from King's Fall. But outside of solar there's just a tonne of great ones. Like Waking Vigil and Cantata are both great Arc HCs.

I do rather like the Dreaming City refreshed weapons. Some banger perks on them now.

Hey the Coil is pretty cool, I hope that one poster who didn’t like the spike trap figured out what the jump key is. It’s a great source of materials and since this week doesn’t have togetherness it’s extremely easy to get plat.

Regarding the Coil I've actually been enjoying running it solo. I'm a trash player who is easily distracted (and has a new kitty who loves distracting me) but I can still reliably get to three runs of the Coil solo, especially with the artifact perk allowing for way more solo damage. I'm sure if I actually practiced and paid more attention to things that 4 runs for plat wouldn't be out of the question. There's a tonne of enemies, but in terms of power level it's similar to a Master Lost Sector. It's getting swarmed that really sucks lol

But also if you go solo or with a team you don't have to worry about other randos using 7 lives on the same spike trap mimic chest! :v:

I still hate spike traps, but I got two platinum runs by setting them up with in-game LFG so yay.

Matchmade Coil is still a trash fire, at least in OCE TZ, but I did stumble into a plat run by joining someone who was on the last boss.

For a chaser, editor went on to continue their meltdown in the Serious Overchill discord and got banned there as well.

And yes it is. I didn't like Duality at first, but I've grown to appreciate it. I didn't like Ghosts and still don't. But Warlord I liked right from the start.

The bosses are still huge blobs of hitpoints, but the balance between time spent doing mechanics and time allowed for damage is much better.

Seconding Epochal Integration. It's amazing and then leaves me able to use Dragon's Breath or Forerunner (which is super for shield piercing/barrier champs if using the pistol artifact mod).
I forgot how I got it, though, so thanks for the reminder on that mission so my friend can get it, too.

I've done all of the dungeons blind with the same team since Grasp -- this time, we had to wait like two weeks because one of us was on a honeymoon, and it was totally worth it. Stumbling around in the jail cells for like 15 minutes before we finally figured it out was probably one of my favorite moments in a decade of playing this game.

I have like eight friends playing now so we had two groups doing it blind (some weren't online lol rip them) - my group got stuck there for like 30 minutes because we didn't realize the skeleton wasn't just a gag. The other group got stuck on the final boss for an hour because they don't play Titans and don't instinctively punch everything in the face and we all were lmao

The best thing about it though is the traversal sections aren't too long and are also very fun
