lol the ultimate reward will be the superblack shader

e: System to attune to a weapon to make it more likely to drop, so just going to assume no crafting for this series of weapons lmao

100 more vault slots in TFS. Nice.

All the overpowered pinnacle weapons have been reworked, it sounds like. Good, because being overpowered is why they were sunset

It's a lot easier to add extra vault space than spend the time making the vault UI usable enough for players to actually be able to find anything in it. You still can't sort by weapon type, or do literally any amount of filtering, so sure, throw a bandaid on the pile of bandaids that is the vault.

Boo, the "limited edition" ornament is locked to the weapon it drops on, so it's not just something you need to unlock.

I believe the answer to this is "ui is too hard so just use the app" lol

Battuta, are you still lurking? I think you said Bungie didn't hire you to write anything for Final Shape, so I'm not optimistic on the story at atll.

Apparently the collectors edition lore is good, so I suspect that (a) they paid him to unfuck it and (b) is probably under some kind of NDA.

Wasn't he hired to do the Ikora booklet that came with Witch Queen? I'm going mostly on that and the praise from BYF's video, which gives off similar kind of vibes.

Not saying he's 'the only good writer' by far, but this does sound like his sort of subject and it's something he's done and has been well recieved before.

If I'm being honest I'm not crazy about the weapon set having two pulse rifles, two handcannons, and two variants of currently available raid weapons. Feel almost like they could have made more interesting choices? Like Trophy Hunter instead of Succession.

e: Hung Jury is also another weird choice given it's been available for a good while now.

I never played Black Armory and don't have the time or motivation to raid (yet?) so being able to get Forbearance and any unsuspecting friends into the game with the free powerful cap chest seems extremely good to me

As a returning/casual player I am most definitely the target demographic. Hard to sympathise for complaints about a sizeable and entirely free content drop though

Forbearance dropped from Vow of the Disciple (and still does). Hammerhead and Blast Furnace are the ones from the Black Armory set

Yeah sorry I didn't word that very well. There are a lot of complaints about it just being returning weapons and then weapons that people can already get (Forbearance & Succession), so it's a bad content drop. I was trying to say I wasn't around for some of the older content, plus I don't raid and thus don't have Succ and Forbearance, so I'm pretty happy about the available weapons overall.

It's funny that "Exotic" was originally a penalty on a weapon (ie you can't equip two of them), but now that Exotic Primaries are the only thing that can cut through those big fat red bars, "Exotic" is the single most important perk on a PvE Primary

Also it's weird that there are like 15 legendary high impact scouts and none of 'em are solar

The big problem with "always run an exotic primary" is it also means "never run exotic special or heavy" and that sucks cause a lot of those are very fun and good. And double special got nerfed so that isn't a thing.
