Also man, I really want to replay Destiny 1

Or like, some big curated thing to go through the major beats from D1 to what'll be the end of the plot or whatever the next expansion is going to do

When did you last play? The stasis subclass in Beyond Light was the first aspect-and-fragment subclass and that was two years ago, then they migrated all the existing classes over to that system over the course of last year

Also, 'buffed to the loving stratosphere and no sign of it ever coming down' is what they did to Arc Titan.

lmao I noticed, though Fist of Havoc seems fiddly or something? I got two punches then it farted out. Thundercrash is insane though. I kind of juts slapped whatever together that seemed vaguely good and I appear to blind everyone all the time whenever I do anything and instant reload and heal on everything and everything's always online? Also the juggernaut shield that actually just works now? Amazing lol

Should've stuck with the idea that the Vex always win each iteration of Everything and the light/dark stuff is an "attempt" to screw with that/not screw with that or whatever with the end being to tell the Traveler and the Darkness itself or whatever to gently caress off and win anyway by shooting Atheon 2.0 out of the universe with the Tractor Cannon

If you go by the lore available to us there are only a handful of situations where the Traveler attempts to communicate with people, and even one of those cases is pretty iffy. The Speaker, who is that dude who was important in D1 and literally no one knows about now in D2, was the last in a long line of people who could pick up emotions or impressions from the Traveller and tried to convert those into concepts for regular people. It was almost always a creative exercise, but the last Speaker (the only one we as players knew) probably got the closest - the mask he wore was an actual piece of technology designed to amplify certain signals from the Traveller and he was picking up something. Unfortunately most of what he was picking up near the end was "oh poo poo oh god the red legion is coming I gotta loving get out of here" and he intentionally did not share that information to avoid impacting morale, not that it helped.

The only explicit case of the Traveller actually speaking to someone is, hilariously, Clovis Bray. I put that in a black box because I bet no one guesses the name under it unless they've already read the lore, but essentially: Our boy Clovis has some strange dreams and interprets them as messages from the Darkness and it's only near the very end where they get one final dream and the actual for-real Traveller shows up as the Alpha Lupi in said dream and more or less explicitly says "NO, you colossal moron, I was sending those dreams as WARNINGS and you misinterpreted them all".

Not /that/ bad - you can probably just hit up the LFG tool and pug it, I was doing it regularly when chasing red borders. Just go in with a somewhat serious loadout/build - I think all 3 champion types can pop up so the more you can counter, the better.

Alternative hit up the discord and you might be able to drag in some goons to help you and it will probably be a breeze.

Cool, I figured something like that but wanted to make sure

So far only really annoying snag has been exactly zero lightning rounds showing up lmao, but I'm sure I'll get em sooner or later. Also am I right that the DoE ship is just the Marathon? It sure looks like it and that's rad

Just the standard ol arc punch it used to have. I just see shoulder charge, buttslam, and the kamehameha now unless I'm missing something super obvious. I've bought everything from Ikora as well

Looks like before arc 3.0 the third titan melee was "frontal assault", with the description "Strike an enemy with this melee ability to reload your weapon and increase both your weapon stability and weapon damage."

Lol I think I called it storm fist the entire time I played anyway

Anyway I'd like that back also please thanks, I don't like things that are new and different even if it's objectively better
