As a late comer to the game it's really frustrating learning the mechanics of all the different game modes. There's pretty much no in game documentation of anything and half the poo poo I Google ends up being based on what the game was at launch.

It’s real bad

it's round, like always

I've had a grand total of one Corrupted strike where pubbies knew to toss the relic to another player before breaking shields. I don't think it tells you at any point that doing this grants a damage bonus but still :argh:

After playing a comp game two dudes on my team invited me and are welfare carrying me to luna. Up to 1900 now.

I got a better devils with rangefinder and opening shot. This is the best possible pvp roll correct?

I keep getting sick smuggler’s word rolls. Opening shot, quick draw, ricochet, and a range masterwork; or full auto, zen moment, extended mag with a reload masterwork

The very first time you do it, there's a tooltip that tells you that passing increases the damage.
After that though, nothing in game tells you.

I recommend putting as much range as possible on you Chattering Bone. Helps the hit reg out a lot.

The one i have has Corkscrew, Opening Shot, Headseeker, High Cal and Range MW.

I like it even more than the curated roll for PvP.

The extra agility from lightweight and the high handling make it feel snappy as gently caress. Love that gun.

Where did it say as often? I read "more often"

I mean, they can try to make it easier but there's a ton of actual poo poo to still do if you get the spawn>kill>drop

All I know is I have two loadouts now, for gambit and general/gambit purposes. The pure gambit one has me pretty pretty space barbieing everything to be as taken influenced as gently caress. That part of the game is always good.

E: I'm close to getting the title, I just need to actually focus on a step or two. The lore entry you get for malfeasance between drifter and renegade is loving awesome. I can't wait to find out the rest and whatever comes in Joker's Wild

I thought the bonus to spawn rate was only one of every 3 weeks during the super-corrupted dreaming city cycle, and even then just a bonus and not "as often as other bosses" -- did I miss an update post?

Eh, that doesn't seem bad to me, honestly. The hordes of thumbless pubbies aren't going to get the weapon without actually working for it and getting good. The ones who don't suck poo poo have a good chance of the quest drop and will earn the thing. It'll still be a grind for the weapon, and some of the title requirements will still be out of reach for the vast majority.

I played a game today, saw a teammate drop a ward on B. Called him an idiot in my head. Then a bit later I saw someone on the opposing team drop one. I ended up in a game full of idiots.

I’m working the Mars exotic missions and I’m at the point where I need to open 15 sleeper nodes. This seems really tedious. Is the quickest way just to do patrols to get the drops I need?

It also blows that I can do all 7 levels of Escalation Protocol and still be unable to open the chest because I don’t have whatever macguffin is necessary. I assumed one of the keys would eventually be loot of EP, but no dice. How do I score one of those?

Edit: The final level of Escalation Protocol is one of the most balls to the wall insane events I’ve ever seen. 6 guardians, all just making GBS threads orbs everywhere, super after super flying, things exploding. I loved it.

You probably have some Rasputin key fragments in your inventory, which drop from strikes and heroic missions on mars. Bring 7 to Ana to get a key and then beat 7 waves of EP to unlock the key.

Before you start grinding away just know that this only gets you armor, the weapons are just random drops from the boss that anyone can get

1) I stacked patrols (kill and drop ones only) with lost sectors when I did it. Took a few painful hours.

2) the chest is just lovely y1 armor. Unless you care about the wayfarer title it's pointless. Wraps are always just engram drops off the boss.

I'm ashamed to admit that I check the destiny thread on reddit every day, mostly to see what the nerds have figured out.

But loving hell, the suggestions they make are just the most stupid, game running suggestions possible. And Bungie loving listens to them. No community can ruin something as quickly as reddit can. What a garbage webpage.

they have no internal vision for the game at all. just look at launch destiny 2, take everythign you learned from d1 and what made it good and just throw it away

Ask any random person how to "Fix Gambit" if you want to really explore the endless bad ideas the player base has to offer.

It makes me think (with zero evidence, this is just arm-chair game dev) they chased analytics and formed extremely bad/lovely conclusions.
