So I got Beyond Light last week and went through the campaign of it on one character, there's no real reason for me to try and smash out any more of it before the new thing comes out tomorrow is there? All the power level of everything on all my characters is going to go up to 1350 or whatever anyway and most of what is worth caring about is still going to be around to do in any case? Doing the campaign on the other two character to even unlock stasis is going to be a bit of a pain in the rear end if those subclasses are really powerful and it seems like to make them fully featured I'll have to do a really long questline on each character. I guess void will be the focus though so maybe I can go without stasis in the immediate future and work on it slowly in conjunction with new stuff if I really get in deep with this expansion and the season. Also, I got an exotic cipher and it says you can only have one at a time but to spend it at the various places I looked (on an old exotic is what they seem to be for) I have to have two ascendant shards and buying those seems to be very expensive. If I get another exotic cipher will it just hang in my postmaster or are they things you have to claim so it just won't let me claim it until the one I have now is gone? thebardyspoon fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Feb 21, 2022 |

Hot take: in terms of content added Curse of Osiris was honestly not bad, it just had to follow launch Destiny 2 and no amount of effort in the span of four months could make up for its shortcomings.

Forcing us to wander through the infinite forest a thousand times was honestly really bad. Also the no sparrows issue in the patrol zone that took them around three years to fix. Also only a single public event during an era of the game where one actually did public events a lot.

Anything related to light levels or vendor reputation will be a waste due to the reset tomorrow, and you won't miss out on anything if you log off now. However if you want to play, there's still a ton of things you can do right now which will have value. You can progress exotic quests (like The Lament), do your weeklies for Stasis Fragments if you haven't unlocked all of them (from the Exo Stranger), do a bunch of bounties and hold them until tomorrow to turn them in for XP then, just clean your vault and ready your inventory, and much more. Oh yeah, do the Cocoon quest (season of the lost introduction) and then the Exorcism quest (season of the lost conclusion) if you haven't already. They are both going away tomorrow and set the scene for Witch Queen. You could theoretically also do the entire Forsaken campaign since it is going away tomorrow, but that's like 5 hours.

There shouldn't be any surprise ciphers from anywhere -- it'll show up on the season pass for next season, and you can leave it there until you wanna take it out. Or you can get one from Xur every / every other weekend by completing a quest, but again it won't really be a surprise. Buying ascendant shards with other resources isn't very cost-effective, you can get them from higher difficulty activities (master/grandmaster nightfalls, master raids/dungeons, flawless trials of osiris). I used to think "wow I'm never going to get very many of them" and now it's more like "oh I guess I'll spend an hour running some master nightfalls to get a few golf balls" and IMO spend 'em if you got 'em. Unless you have an exotic piece of armor you desperately love and want to masterwork, which is 1) probably not super necessary for you at this stage and 2) is the most costly ascendant shard thing to do.

Anniversary Pack has some nice cool weapons and a good dungeon (that rewards Artifice armor with extra slot at Master difficulty), but remains to be seen if these weapons are gonna get Origin Traits like all weapons in WQ are gonna get Beyond Light has Stasis class that can be pretty fun, and also a really cool raid. But I guess you could wait a bit since they're doing Void 3.0, and as the year goes by they'll do Solar 3.0 and Arc 3.0

Kinda wish I had dropped back in a week or two earlier so I could have done VoG before the expansion drop. I guess all it means is once we finish the new raid I’ll need to do the new one + VoG + DSC so I’ll still have some rad content to go.

Wisdom We'd be lucky to get a season with 2 strikes, a raid, several story missions, a new planet, three adventures, more than a dozen new exotics, and a large handful of new Crucible maps The year 1 sandbox was just so darn bad that none of the content mattered!

^^^ That is fantastic. haveblue posted:I’m gonna shoot the mans Collateral Damage posted:The main drawback of DMT is the glacially slow reload, so I like Outlaw, Subsistence or Fourth Time's The Charm, depending on how you use it. But I keep a Vorpal roll as well. This shows you the most popular rolls & combos. It kind of already has Feeding Frenzy built in which is crazy good for scouts in PvE, but I understand outlaw is better for PvP. AP and high impact rounds are also really nice. E: I wonder how they're going to implement DMT and Hawkmoon at Xûr. Like is it just 'you can buy a reroll' or is it going to be the same roll for everyone, in which case you're going to have people mad they were away or busy with trials the week sqûidface had a smallbore / high-cal / outlaw DMT.

Cool, that's what I figured but googling stuff for this game is kinda weird these days since they've changed some stuff and it's hard to tell what's what so cheers for that. I'll just jump in tomorrow or whenever the servers start working and start in the new stuff, if I'm ever at a loose end I'll work on the stasis stuff I guess. It seems alright for the titan which was just the class I chose to go through Beyond Light on. I remember enjoying all the void classes roughly equally so maybe I'll pick which class I'll do WQ on first randomly and see how the unlock process is.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:Wisdom I think what annoyed people even though there was content was the no sparrow and 1 public event thing, but also that the 2 strikes were basically re-works of the story mission and the Panopeles fight was the most basic poo poo in history. The world engine lair was kind of cool and it did give us Wormhaven, Pacifica and Radiant Cliffs, even if Wormhaven is a terrible map. The infinite forge was actually kind of cool though despite most of the weapons being kind of useless and at least gave players something to do after everyone on their friends list left to go and play fortnite. It amounted to mostly having to go and fetch planetary materials but my JQK3 is still in my vault.

"Let us replay the campaign" is like the top Destiny request so it's a no brainer to put 'em in as strikes. But I gotta check my biases here, I'm not a big campaign & strikes guy, and I literally never, EVER log on to crush patrols or bang out lost sectors so it really didn't bother me that Mercury was a lame place to explore.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:"Let us replay the campaign" is like the top Destiny request so it's a no brainer to put 'em in as strikes. The campaigns not being replayable is a little strange for tyool 2022 I'll grant you, and I agree sometimes going back through campaign areas in a strike isn't bad because it does have that "oh yeah I remember that" recipe but at the time, I think people were annoyed at playing through the campaign in a few hours and then running the strikes featuring the same PITA area in both of them. Campaign is usually something I'll do day one with a friend of two and I look forward to them for nothing else other than a chance to relax on a wednesday and have a few afternoon beers instead of working and I'll do strikes occasionally for the weekly power or doing some bounties but by about week 3 of an expansion I won't touch them again - so I get it. I think their biggest development mistake has been a distinct lack of maps in PVP in a long, long time and their best foot forward is to drip feed 2 reworked maps that everyone hates. I get with the speed of play now they can't just bring back some d1 maps and that's fair enough too, but the PVP in the game despite the hate and criticism it gets really does carry their player numbers in the dog days. The sand box is in a better place compared to some iterations of destiny, the match making has been OK for the most part and despite them loving with a good recipe they have trials on an OK path (they really should just stick with the week one recipe they had this season though. I now their devs are demonstrably bad when it comes to PVP but they really could garner a lot of goodwill and retention with some minor things like a couple of new maps.

With how much effort they're giving to the sandbox as a whole it seems like they should be dropping 1-4 new and returning maps per season... Also new modes that don't suck a fat one. Bring back Rift, bring back Supremacy, don't make me choose between Survival and Control all the time (I suspect Countdown is coming back next season)
