Decrypted 2 exotic engrams on my 392 titan and they both had less light than my equipped items. Is that normal now, because gently caress that

Weird rounding error poo poo. Drop your LL to 391 and they should decrypt at 392 or 393. Awesome!

If your overall light was 392 but you had something that was 395 and something that was 387 and had an engram for the 395 item, it's working as intended.

Source? My experience is that exotic engrams, if the character LL exceeds 390, decrypt at either +0 or +1, with a notable exception of character LL 392 in which they (almost?) always decrypt at 391.

EDIT: Also,

as proof of the "rounding error" thing, you can infuse that 391 year that you got into anything else and it'll end up as 392. As in, use the 391 as the fuel, and the thing you infused will be 392.

Nope. And people endlessly bitch about it even though it makes sense from a class balance perspective. They are nimble scouts not front line titans or warlocks literally capable of pulling ammo out of their rear end

Stillpiercer is on the list of best rifles in the game, and anyone can get it with no fuss. Anyone who doesn't have a god roll of some other gun should be using it as a hunter.

Sure, but FS is still broken on an HMG. It's like being back in Year 1 when heavy boxes dropped a truck of ammo. If they'd had more HP you "only" would've gotten 7 or 8 kills instead of 9.

That having been said, I fully approve of using a FS HMG. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

PvP is like shooting fish in a barrel right now. Yeah I know my ELO is bad blah blah blah. But either I'm getting better (I'm not) or skilled people are really dropping out of this game.

The final gently caress you from Bungie is parking this dead gay game for a week, coming back to gamble marks on a primary and getting this:



Truesight, Icarus (or outlaw for PvE), Rifled and Hidden Hand.

I can't even find a full lobby, let alone one without red bars, to use this literal god roll in.

:suicide:

In the few brief moments I could shoot at a non teleporting poo poo bag I can confirm just how savage this roll is. Holy gently caress.

Google is all over the place with this question and I refuse to delve into loving Reddit - Are they "done" with Destiny and moving to Destiny two officially? I'm curious if it's "finished" outside of some holiday events.

Pretty much everyone except the Live Team (read: interns) is working on Destiny 2.

There's supposed to be some other update coming (not Crimson Days which is cancelled), but no details yet. If anything there will probably be one more April Update size thing before everyone moves on to the sequel.

Because if so, I missed it and would love a link or 2.

Not directly from Bungie, but last year's equivalent to the upcoming event had a Destiny full sequel (distinguished from "a large new expansion" which turned out to be Rise of Iron) listed for a 2017 release. So unless someone feels it's been delayed again- not unreasonable- that's as good a proof as any.

No one talks about this.
There's approximately 0 chance we get a Destiny 2 for the holiday season this year. When have you ever heard of a AAA video game from a AAA publisher not having at least a year of hype? Hell, most games announce two years in advance now. The fact that they haven't even made a teaser yet is sign that they are not even close to it.

Perhaps they're holding out to take more advantage of the PS4Pro and Xbone Scropio hardware but I doubt it. If I had to guess they probably gutted their custom game engine from halo 2 and had to start over with frostbite or something

Destiny 2 is being delayed by rewrites because they realized the first game was about making Earth great again by first building a walk to keep aliens out and then going out to shoot them. Plus with New Monarchy's color being red, they had some cognitive dissonance to overcome.
