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.

The winners engram finally showed up after I logged in via steam instead of ps5, and I was able to claim it for progress.

I wonder if there's a coordinated effort to get people to just go hunter so everyone can unlock the permanent hover board faster.

Some of the reward guns have double perks, so keep an eye out.

I have a tarraxipos from last year with a choice of explosive rounds or kill clip, so I'm very happy with that.

Is something wrong with class matchmaking for nightfalls? the third player consistently gets dropped

RBA Starblade posted:

Matchmaking in general seems nonfunctional

Bungie hosed it

I tried the class-based one last night; stayed in orbit at 1/3 forever and then got dropped in solo.

I somehow escaped all these bugs last night but since Titans are the worst in PVP I'm not going to get winner packages and I'm not sweaty enough to do a maximum score nightfall so roll on those 1200 medal points :negative:

You just need to find two people willing to emote finish every Champion and Major. Don’t bother trying to do it with pubbies.

It seems like the diamond medallion for watching Twitch streamers counts as 300 medal points, so if you're willing to do that for all three weeks, it should only require actually gathering the final 300 medal points from events.

You don't have to actually sit there doing nothing but consuming the content, you can have it muted in a background tab and close it after 2 hours

But I agree that engaging with that whole ecosystem feels bad and I'm not gonna do it either

I had Twitch up on my PS4 while I played. Never actually watched the streamer, just got the loot then turned it off.

That's nice for other classes, but Destablizing Rounds is redundant on Gyrfalcon's, and the origin trait giving you your class ability back is what makes it so good on Gyrfalcon's.

Just literally do three (3) of the focus activity with the class that’s winning. I didn’t even pay attention while breezing through a strike this morning and a nightfall last night and I’m 2/3. Your pledge isn’t for the whole event, it’s per focused activity 2 hour window.

Right now it’s currently class vs class gambit with Hunters taking a healthy lead. Play a game (with hunter), win or lose, then collect your reward in 90 minutes.

Got the diamond medalion for leaving my phone charging while streaming luckyy10p (given that he was the first name on the list I recognised and I don't hate the opinions of) and have gone from 70 odd score to 400ish, so yay?

I had to log out and back in to get it to appear in-game, then logged into my hunter to pledge the focus activity. They are, as usual, sitting on double the points of the nearest class (warlocks).

Still think the points for just playing normally should be tuned way up, and the threshold for unlocking should be tuned way down, as always.

Okay. Trying to get back in the swing of things. But, uh, this game is making it tough.
The new/returning player experience in D2 has always been miserable and it's no wonder the game is constantly setting new low scores in peak active players when Bungie seems hellbent on driving existing players away while simultaneously making it near impossible to get started as a new player or even get back in.

I think last years Competitive playlist featured Inverted Spire, so they might be just using that rotation.

I think they deprioritized that strike from showing up in general because they want to update it like Arms Dealer or Lake of Shadows. Who knows if they will actually do it though.

Randomly thought about the "We'll be adding the whole Cosmodrome eventually! actually nevermind" fake out from however many years ago.

The Drake has been there since year 1; it's just had a super tiny chance to ever spawn. Same thing for the original Arms Dealer, in the open area before you enter the big ship (no clue if the new version of the strike can still spawn it).
