I prefer Souldrinker to the abiltiy regen traits but this change to chain reaction might make the waveframes feel pretty weak Chain Reaction is being reworked to accommodate it being added to other weapons (like Glaives in the future) - these changes are coming in TFS Special-ammo weapons: 15% smaller detonation radius 20% reduced damage Heavy-ammo weapons: Keeps the current detonation radius sandbox values 30% increased damage "Heavy GLs will be significantly better at add-clear than Special GLs" Seems like they're trying to rein in how easy add clear is with Forbearance in particular Waroduce fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Mar 28, 2024 |

quote:We still have more news to share next week about Destiny 2: Into the Light! Our dev team will gather for a third livestream on April 2 at 10 AM PT to finish the series with a bang. Here's the quick summary of the topics we will touch on: Any guesses on what exotic missions we'll be getting? I assume Hawkmoon is probably likely since it's more recent and probably doesn't need much tweaking/rebalancing, but the other could be a return of Zero Hour or Whisper - though Ive heard someone also suggest Bad Juju could also get the same treatment?

One would think Harbinger is definitely one of them. I'm having a hard time thinking of if there's anything else besides Zero Hour or Whisper. Bad Juju is a good shout.

API activity and ornament sales would suggest that the whisper mission is coming back, which makes sense since it's still in the game file Man, I feel like Bungie analytics revealed That Special ammo grenade launchers were used a lot, and purple ammo grenade launchers were not used much. And they misinterpreted the data to mean they should Nerf Special ammo grenade launchers

One of the returning missions is whisper, no contest. They had the whisper of the worm rifle always on display behind the devs seat. That's not subtle. But still this timegating bullshit definitely has taken a bit of wind out of my sails for the update. They literally cannot help themselves for always tripping at the finish line.

I'd like to see Thorn go back to having an exotic mission, its reputation was so hyped in previous versions because there was a story to getting it, whereas now its just the gun that's a worse version of Osteo Striga in every way. E: Probably Hawkmoon since they can recycle EDZ assets and Zero Hour since they're working on tower / city assets anyway. .

There aren't actually all that many exotic quests that take the form of a single one-and-done mission where you get your hands on it at the end. Other than Avalon and Starcrossed, both of which are shoo-ins when their seasons get vaulted, and the 4 that have already been named, the pickings are pretty slim. Thorn, maybe? The Last Word? Both of them have some public space tasks that could get cut. Bastion? I'm not sure that mission would make any sense at all removed from context. Then you get to the question of how you would make those weapons craftable without making them totally broken. And bringing back those seasons' other weapons to pad out the loot table

I'm pretty sure the missions lined up/expected for the exotic mission rotator is just the ones that were formally treated as missions unto themselves - not open world faffing. Whisper, Zero, Hawkmoon and maybe Bad Juju and Ager's Scepter - they all had actual named missions attached to them that had some unique space/encounter/challenge. It also dawns on me that part of the use of the exotic rotator was to offer a way to get old gun patterns - Presage got the weapons from Haunted rather then Chosen. But, Plunder is the only season that's currently unavailable. So either they stick world pool/non craftable guns on the new missions, Stick Plunder guns on one of them, or Deep/Witch guns on them. (Defiance and Wish will probably get associated with their associated exotic missions once TFS drops and the season get phased out) I suppose Season of the Deep guns could actually fit with Whisper - there'd be an overlap in availability cause they're dropping them now though.

Pre patch Avalon was probably the most fun and one of the most challenging destiny pve experiences I've ever had apart from Master Exhibition I cleared twice, one in a duo wo wishender cheese bc we didn't know about it and than in a trio with wishender

It's why I cleared duo first and than a trio just cause I like playing w others. I also don't think it was much easier. The scaling was better but you still need to deal with the stupid fuckin codes and the wyvrens and the wyvern and the other wyverns and the traversal and than the final boss arena with the God drat turrets and the God drat wyverns

Avalon was pretty fun with the season artifact cause there was a lot of void synergy, and lots of void shields, and it was really satisfying rolling in with a Commeration and popping shields causing chain explosions and having poo poo loads of heavy ammo.

Void Titans with devour and volatile rounds and a Commemoration with repulsor brace and demolitionist  It was probably a lot harder on any other class or subclass

Yeah I'm not really into the RP part of this RPG, but I know a few people who really don't like how similar all 3 classes have become. It makes sense that they want everyone to be able to swap between DPS, Tank, Healer, Add Clear etc without needing to have more than one character, but at some point it's like, why not just let you swap between 15 subclasses! Exotic armor balancing, I guess

a nice thing about having a bazillion subclass options is that boring people like me can basically just self-identity as void or stasis hunters and only swap subclasses when they need to match a nightfall surge or something

a big part of why i don't run devour is because i like having 100x3 and also because controlled demolition provides plenty of healing as-is. volatile rounds lets me facetank a hydra, there's not much more that i need

I run devour because I run Gyrfalcon and tbh there's not a lot else I can do that isn't already in the loop, so might as well eat some orbs and life forces I guess. If I could swap out devour for easier ways to suppress or weaken enemies I absolutely would, that would be hilarious. Gimme the ability to suppress on void special weapon hits or something lol

hard refuse. titans, despite being the originators of the volatile status, do not have a volatility exotic. if mask gets reworked, it should give volatile rounds or make volatile explosions more gooder or SOMETHING.

Waroduce posted:I prefer Souldrinker to the abiltiy regen traits but this change to chain reaction might make the waveframes feel pretty weak I'm far from an expert on Destiny 2 theorycrafting, but sounds like my unrelenting/golden tricorn forbearance will be just fine. Chain Reaction isn't absolutely necessary for good add clear, imho. And the heavy wave frame kinda sucks, since the wave is wider, but much shorter (from what I can tell), heavily limiting it's utility, again imho. Maybe with more damage, it will help, but since special ammo is going to remain more prevalent (unless they unwind the double-special nerf) I don't see a strong reason to trash my old forbearance rolls just yet.

Wave-frame special gls in general are great for add clear. Its just Chain Reaction is what really sets Forebearance apart. I have a couple Memory Interdicts with Chain Reaction and pre-buff those things were very strong. Combine the ammo buffs with the upcoming Heavy GL CR buff and that thing is going to be insane for add clear.

the brave forbearance will be better for grenade spam if you're on a light class since demo and the origin trait will be giving varying amounts of grenade energy per kill

Maybe something with Spark of Discharge and Spark of Beacons? Actually maybe Undercurrent would be better for that because Undercurrent can do Demo/Voltshot. Then you can add in Spark of Ions and just have an asinine amount of grenade uptime from Demo and the Ionic Traces.

The new Iron Banner Strand wave frame looks cool tho. Chain Reaction is near, but with changes to the hatchling perk it's gonna make so many threadlings and tangles :3 And tangles explode! Tbh I can see a *lot* coming from the wave frame for add-clear.
