gently caress it, I'm going to play this dumb good game because the original Destiny was dumb and good and I want more of it.

Both BDSM groups say they're full, where do I find goonfriends to shoot with?

Eye of Another World is amazing (improves grenade, Rift and melee ability cooldowns), and it looks like a space-rococo Daft Punk helmet. Never taking it off.

Also the weapon progression system is so much better now. I do not miss harvesting shrubs and rocks.

Is it me or is Devour completely, utterly broken?

Once you pop it, you either drain grenade energy and immediately restore your health, or melee an enemy and immediately restore your health. From there on out it's a 9-second persistent timer during which anything else you kill in any fashion restores your health. Oh, and the timer resets on kill.

In a PvE situation it's hard NOT to kill something on the order of once every nine seconds once major engagements start.

Definitely the best-looking gun so far is Fighting Lion. Not the best in-combat (despite the name and lore snippet, it hits like a goddamn wet rag) but holy crap it's gorgeous.

What counts as a Powerful enemy? Yellow bar, or orange bar? I'm doing the Drang/Golden Age Relic quest.

EDIT: it's yellow. Any good places to find reliable Despoiler Captain or other yellow Fallen spawns?

Beat the Nightfall, got Wings of Sacred Dawn from a drop in said nightfall in addition to a heckin bunch of other good stuff including TWO Wicked Sisters from Zavala afterward from all the coins.

I'm struggling to think of where to get my gear to 270 from. I'm about 265 at the moment and the Nightfall has definitely dropped the best gear, but below that is a large gap in power.

Jesus Christ, I got a second Wings of Sacred Dawn drop in two days. This one was 280 power. Fuuuuuuuuuuck I look good.

Also, I have Nameless Midnight and it's outstanding. I just got a more powerful Frontier Justice - if you were me, infuse the latter to make NM better, or keep the Frontier and scrap the Midnight?

One of the swords also has a "Gain 1 Ammo on kill" perk, too!

The raid sword has both the "Damage increases on consecutive swipes" and "gain ammo" perks. It's disgusting.

Also: spent a few hours today on raid boss. Fuuuuuck. It's not that hard, mechanically speaking, but the extremely low margin for error is really getting to me. Literally one mistake is a wipe, guaranteed, and once you've done the adds/DPS circuit twice it gets extremely irritating to mess up ONE TIME and have to restart. Plus, you get the all-too-eventual stupid death from the physics being weird, or something going wrong that you can't exactly control.

Someone was saying that a cool way to do Calus is only send two guys out of the shadow realm and get your skulls sky high. One team one-phased him in four plates. It also means the shadow realm crew gets the easiest version to maximize room for error. I definitely want to try that with my group.

Oh wow this is a dope idea if the team has good enough base DPS.

Another big long crack at the raid boss today.

gently caress psions, and gently caress their instant purple launch attack. Forever. Even with an established left-centre-right kill on sight proposition, members of our group were getting flung all over the place, ending otherwise perfect runs with great work from the throne room team. It's essentially boiling the success of a run down to RNG: will the Psion in front of me instantly flame? Or not?

Man I got the Long Walk and levelled it up and it RULES. The tiny mag is a little bit of a bummer however.


Also if I hear Calus' cup go ping on the floor one more time, I think I am going to go full Pavlovian.

What activities are you guys doing for purples? I get a decent rate of exotics it seems as far as rarity goes for them, but I'm starved otherwise.

Doing the raid will literally shower you in purples, to the point that you will feel that ammo is more valuable than Engrams. Other than that the easiest thing is to do Public Events and either get them from drops or trade for coins with the coin vendor folks. All the various rep/token vendors, including Gunsmith which you should aaaalllllways have a constant source of tokens for from breaking down trash drops, have been my most reliable source for them.

Prestige raid thoughts:


We know from some leaked screens that the Prestige armours are likenesses of Calus' three Shadows who he sent to kill Ghaul, but failed - one for each character class. If they're adding additional boss content, would it make sense for the Shadows make an appearance?

I think the SMG is extremely good?!!!

The SMG is super super good, as is the sword. The AR, I'm not as hot about but it's still pretty solid.
