I've gone flawless a handful of times and not thanks to my skills. the trick is to have a couple of cracked friends to carry your rear end on a saturday morning when all the sweats are asleep. That's the magic hour of trials.

Couldn't even get there on the morning of The Craftening before anyone figured it out? Shameful lmao

Yeah due to dumb licensing stuff the expansions are locked to the platform while the seasons/dungeon are account wide. I think you don't even have access to strand which is super dumb.

When you control the mail, you control information!

Does the seasonal content work regardless of what platform you’re on? Or do you need to be it on every platform like the expansions?

IIRC season content is cross-platform as long as you buy it on the platform you have cross save activated

Speaking of Gambit, I've been beating my head against the wall for Breaknecks and man not getting a gambit engram after a match hurts.

I might just settle for my Subsistence/Adagio roll.

Make an Adagio variant where it just gets slower and more powerful until your AR is a scout and then a sniper IMO

Anything purchasable with Silver is cross-platform. Anything exclusively purchasable with real human money has its own SKU or whatever and platform licensing means it can’t be cross-platform

Obviously the primary reason for the dungeon key was revenue, but another reason it became its own separately available purchase is so that they could get around platform locking.

(Similarly, Silver itself isn’t cross-platform because you buy it on Steam or PSN or Xbox, etc)

hey guys I focused my first gambit engram of the season today

syntaxfunction

Yeah I've been getting engrams for every vendor like they're candy at Halloween. Also I became weirdly attached to the first Breakneck that dropped for me, Smallbore, Appended, Eye of the Storm and Onslaught. It just feels very nice.

I can see how speciality vendors like Saint and Lord Salty make three engrams a bit of a hassle to focus, and dropping them to either 1 for current weapons and 2 for legacy weapons or just a flat two across the board would be good. Other vendors like Zavala or Banshee I think it's more than fine. People freaking out about focusing at Banshee but I keep accidentally getting so many friggin engrams.

Also consider once you have the roll that's it, you won't want more. So as you knock off the ones you want you'll find more and more that engrams will, once again, just pile the gently caress up. Just like the old days.

The trials trace took only 1 engram for me. Focused like 5 and I got a PVP god roll and a middling pve roll. The gunsmith engrams are a real loving miss. Don't even drop world loot. Why is world loot the rarest loot?

That exotic strand bow seems really good. 50% bonus damage and shortened draw time against Suspended targets?

Also, interesting 'bug' or maybe intentional design - Artifact mods that give anti-champ traits to a weapon will not 'Overcharge' certain exotics that have an inherent anti-champ trait. The mod has to successfully grant the anti-champ trait in order to grant the Overcharge effect.

Or in clearer words, say you're running the artifact mod Anti-Unstoppable Bow. If you put on a Ticuu's or a Trinity Ghoul, they will be granted anti-unstoppable and will gain the 25% damage bonus from Overcharged. If you put on a Wish-Ender or a Monarque, they will not be granted anti-unstoppable and they will not gain the 25% bonus damage from Overcharged.
