I'm sure there were additional nerfs after sun setting, but I know they announced the big mountaintop nerf before it was sunset. I've been beating the drum of "sunsetting is to help them make new loot, not to nerf existing loot" for as long as sunsetting has been a concept so I remember digging into the TWAB timeline a bit. If you care to look it up it's probably like October 2020 that they went over the mountaintop nerf and then beyond light / sunsetting was a couple months later

Goddammit this post just made me realize there has been more Destiny 2 content since Covid started than came before it.

I can offer a single solution that fixes every problem in Destiny 2: turn off the servers. Bam, can't say that doesn't change the entire gameplan.

They really need to start putting up TFS videos in March. Cayde can only sell so much.

Though I’m thinking that new event leading up to TFS will probably help.

I have regretted every expansion I've preordered or got the deluxe edition of, and the few times I haven't (Forsaken and Witch Queen) they were actually for reals good campaigns, which is what I primarily play for. So I am manifesting a good finale by not preordering.

The annual light climb is fine, but having to deal with getting those final-slot pinnacle drops on three characters every three months was a pain point that could result in long stretches of game time feeling like a waste due to bad RNG.

I might end up getting TFS, but they're going to have to convince me rather than relying on momentum.

A build I just had a random inspiration for after remembering the Epochal exist. When I get off of work I am going to replace one of the solar siphons with that mod that gives you super energy on melee kills. Really fun build from the 30 minutes I played with it :unsmith:.

There's a new kind of personal vehicle (alternative to sparrow) that lets you do tricks

New event weapon is an arc wave frame heavy grenade launcher

New red and gold memento, looks kinda like the old New Monarchy shaders

A bunch of scoring and point earning changes

I kind of want the hoverboard we should have had from lightfall,* but also I logged in the other day and it's been so long since I played I've completely lost my ability to aim.

* Which reminds me of another weird disconnect. This whole year, none of the seasons have even referred to Neomuna, have they?

A while back (I think Beyond Light / Season of the Hunt) someone suggested that this is because of the glacial timescales the seasonal teams work on, but... Maybe don't do that? Look at fixing that? It makes the expansions feel weird and disconnected from the universe for the entire first year they exist.

I thought of this because I thought it would be a bit cool to have a mini quest where you get the board from our new best friend Nimbus, and then I remembered they couldn't even be arsed to add a gift for them to the dawning.

The board is going to be locked behind the premium card isn't it?

All the Neomuna story stuff has been those dumb lore dump "missions" with the pods that people only went through once to get Epochal Integration.

I think it's less glacial timescales and more that the season and expansion teams don't seem to talk to each other that much. Most years the seasons are only vaguely related to the expansion content and maybe at best have an activity or two on the expansion planet. This year is kinda unique in that no one even mentioned Neomuna by name, ever, yeah

According to the weekly update the skimmer is a reward for doing all the Guardian Games quests, which have never been behind the card before. There is a second skimmer that will probably cost silver

Mill Village
Jul 27, 2007

The new Skimmer is called the Allstar Vector and will be available for everyone to earn during Guardian Games All-Stars. Just pick it up from Eva Levante after completing the onboarding quest, and if you want to keep it permanently after the event finishes (spoiler alert: you do!), complete the Drop In quest and the Allstar Vector will be yours to keep forever.

Another Skimmer, this one inspired by a beloved Destiny weapon, will be available in the in-game Eververse as well. Whichever style of Skimmer you prefer, you’ll be able to start grinding those space rails next week!

The expansion destination is being designed at the same time the seasons are being designed. That's why we spent so much time on europa in year 5 and finally went back to SavathunTown in year 6

Unsure if we'll go to Neomuna for year 7 though, on account of it sucks and nobody wants to go there ever again

idk, I think Neomuna a pretty cool setting visually and i'd love to see a season that uses it's aesthetic or explores it further. It's just the balance of the patrol space that sucks rear end.

Like, Sav's throne world is pretty mid outside some of the aesthetics that aren't "drab swamp," but Season of the Witch was pretty cool cause it explored stuff tangential to the throne world.

I think the written description of Neomuna is cool but I think they completely failed to portray a neon cyber scape with what they put in game. Like the opening encounter of SotP does a better job of megalopolis than neomuna. It was out of necessity no doubt, but using all the Braytech modular buildings and greebles just made it look like Europa in the Summer
