It's okay, you can always grind for the normal one. It just requires *checks notes*

1,200 medal score, 3 Focus Activity package openings, or a Top 10% Nightfall score. And a single Plat gives a whopping 8 medallion score :smithicide:

I got 205k in a nightfall and didn't even break top 20% yet

I'm honestly not entirely sure. I think the Focused Activity is on a rotator and also staggered because the next one doesn't even start for another hour and a half and i missed the last one so i have zero clue how that bit works.
How do you tell what's a focus activity? I've tried a couple of the playlists across the top of the tower and made no progress. How do you know it starts in an hour and a half?

There's a tiny icon in the Tower map screen, just above the row of Guardian Games Playlist activities. Hover over that.

gently caress, wait an hour for an activity where you might win one of three packages you need?

They're so loving bad at this. If they wanted to prevent people rushing it, just make it 'win once a day for the duration of GG' and add a catch up mechanic like in iron banner for if someone misses a day.

With the NF score getting min maxed to hell looks like the best way to get the board now is to game the focused activity thing. You need 3 winner packages to complete the quest. One of the 4 GG activities gets tagged as the focused activity for X hours and you pledge by playing it with a class. So you could theoretically wait til a clear winner shows and then pledge with that class to get the win

Please, someone tell me the hoverboard isn't actually worth engaging with yet another of Bungie's pointlessly overcomplicated systems. Please.

It’s insanely cool and good and is going to be used to do all sorts of skips for as long as they let it be.

Additionally: last year GG’s ornament for the class item counts for medallion collection in activities so you can keep your artificed class item.

If poo poo is too much in Destiny 2 just hit da bricks imo. Like nothing in this game is *worth* doing poo poo you don't want to do, and I say this as someone who still enjoys playing the game.

Everything they have now will be either reissued or powercrept soon, that is the way it goes. The hoverboard is neat, but you better believe it's a new thing they're gonna run into the ground with tonnes of versions of. If you don't want to grind then just wait like a month, you'll be fine.

Hunters just won the current focused activity so that’s 1/3. There’s now a 4 hour cooldown before the next activity is chosen.

Highest score requires insult to injury every champion and major (there are a few captains that count in Hero Glassway.). It has unfortunately been that way since bungie started the scoring thing for guardian games.

I have one, Volatile, High Velocity Rounds, Envious Assassin and One For All. It is fun as hell. It's a double fire frame, and with EA loaded you get 3 shots, which is six nades. And usually on shot one you've proc'd O4A, so the next four nades end up with the bonus damage.

I have no idea how practical in hard content it will be, but gently caress it's a fun time.

Hunters won the 1st one as well, so it seems like if you want to keep the board, switch to your hunter and just participate in a nightfall playlist and you'll get a winners pack (there's also a participation pack if your class didn't win).

I'm not sure if they think all of the warlocks are in a big group chat, but it is funny how the text of the activity seems to imply that they want the classes to co-ordinate... somehow?

If they add a catchup mechanic for the other classes so that you just have to hope your class happens to win, peak Bungie.

1200 is way, way too many. I played a few hours this evening and only got about 70, so I think the absolute psycho who came up with those numbers is seemingly expecting players to run the same nightfall multiple times a night for each week of the (3 week?) event? That's deranged behaviour.

Okay. Trying to get back in the swing of things. But, uh, this game is making it tough.

-Every time I log in I'm thrown into a new campaign starting mission
-First cutscene says Osiris was actually Savathun since he came back. Okay.
-Next cutscene I'm following Osiris on a ship to stop the Herald from reaching the surface of...Neptune, I think? So is this actually Osiris or before the big reveal?
-Next time I log in I'm back in the Dreaming City doing something with Mara and Riven.
-The Riven wish mission is the only one I've been able to complete. Every other mission has ended with my being disconnected from the servers.
-How many kinds of drat Engrams are there now?

I've done the mission with Osiris and the Strand power like 3 times now. Every time I get to the end and meet the Neptune guys, the game disconnects. Tried a couple of other Timeline and Legacy missions, same deal. Every time the mission should be ending, the game disconnects or outright crashes. I'm on a wired connection and no other game is giving me trouble, just D2.

But I ran around the EDZ and Cosmodrome and shot stuff and numbers went up so I'll keep playing.

I don't get how the Focused Activity winner packages work. I see Hunters won the last one, and I definitely pledged Hunter/participated, but didn't get any kind of winners engram in my inventory? If I actually have to be online when the "winning" happens, that's BS

I picked up the diamond raid card on the wrong dude. If I abandon it and try to pick it up on my other dude, is it going to let me reacquire it, or is it going to do what I assume it will do and just screw me out of the diamond card for the week?

According to reddit you have to log out and back in after the timer runs out for it to drop.

Don't open it yet because some people are saying the quest is bugged and doesn't count it yet.

I abandoned it and it looks buyable again in the menu on the same character (I didn't try). So it's probably not going to screw you out of the quest?
