[devout void]

dont know any name where are luminosity48, nkuch or poshy

[true mauve]

They NA/LATAM you would have to disco look for them. If you trying to get NA in your server though they house over 100 PvPrs between them all iirc

[little lotus]

I used to play with them all the time.

I was Invigorate too.

[true mauve]

They also the top names in SG leaderboard

[little lotus]

D1 we had all the best PVE and PVP players.

[twilit thistle]

The top of the competitive side would be jordan, thats my pack. Alot of those are just good, @remote pelican <--- The most skilled player I have met in pvp, and likely will ever meet. Was #1 in sg before the exploits.

[true mauve]

I squashed em, all the pros play on NA 😜

[devout void]

yea good time, trav is playing rising now

[little lotus]

Look up MLG Destiny Bounties on YouTube. You will see me, Lumi, and other players there.

Typhoon Trav is on?!

No way.

[true mauve]

Yes I group with him for Crota race

[devout void]

haha yea

[little lotus]

Funnyyy.

I used to play with him.

[devout void]

its always very funny to see old name we used to match on D1/D2

[little lotus]

It’s been a long time though.

That’s crazy.

If I was in NA right now I would have seen them.

Just been traveling through Asia for a while now.

[devout void]

#1449535008459984916 message you can find him here i give him a good NA pack he was alone

[little lotus]

Sure.

[devout void]

its ok at server merge we can all play together, im also stuck on emea/apac

[little lotus]

That’s awesome. 😂

Add me up Clife.

[devout void]

sure

playing against invigorate was torture on D1, we all had red bar ping from europe

[little lotus]

Yeah, we were pretty OP for a while.

[true mauve]

Is he famous guy?

[devout void]

he do a lot of trials carries with luminosity yea, a funny and good duo on twitch

[little lotus]

I stopped playing during D1 after signing on with MLG.

Used to stream.

[devout void]

i sign with Vitality on D1 then the game die

[little lotus]

Very cool.

[true mauve]

I had no idea, bro was humble no ego

[devout void]

i wish we had an esport scene, but not much money

[little lotus]

Lumi is not still on is he?

[devout void]

i mean still a lot of cash prize but more for NA

[devout void]

i dont think, wish

[little lotus]

I seen him have “problems”.

[devout void]

i want see gabriel play kabr

[little lotus]

Well thanks for letting me know.

So funny to see Trav trying to find a group to run with.

[devout void]

we need titan skate on rising

[little lotus]

Bring back blink shotty.

[devout void]

yea crazy time

[little lotus]

And skip grenades.

[devout void]

poshy prob the best blink, with mgir

shesmynerd on last word jarren

[little lotus]

If you run into Trav again, let him know I’m around.

[devout void]

i have a lot of old video on my channel, it was really the peak of destiny

[little lotus]

Was #1 worldwide for Gates during Season 1.

Back when it was actually PVP.

[little lotus]

Yeah, that’s awesome man! I never did the YouTube thing for Destiny but I was a front page streamer for Playstation and Twitch.

Signing with MLG and them going bankrupt 3 months later was kinda it for me.

[errant narwhal]

thorn and self rez spotted, truly peak D1 pvp

[devout void]

rip

[little lotus]

Fun times though.

[devout void]

yea we need thorn lol

[devout void]

now we just washed player on a mobile game

[errant narwhal]

Hopefully we get Thorn and Dredgen, that would be insane

[little lotus]

Yup.

Washed and casuals now. 😂

[errant narwhal]

Id T6 Dredgen instantly if they dropped him

[devout void]

casual pve

[errant narwhal]

My peak in gaming was being top 500 in OW back in 2017

[little lotus]

@devout void

I just looked you up on Youtube.

[karmic chasm]

My peak was titanfall 2

[twilit thistle]

tbh i think pvp would be 1000x times better if it were actually fair. What i found is that people are actually cheating. Ontop of that, being on touch is a significant disadvantage compared to a controller, if tuned correctly (and with muscle memory for it). The cheating part is the bigger concern.

[little lotus]

I used to see some of your D1 videos man.

[true mauve]

I played against Faker in 2013 world champs

[devout void]

its impressive gg, now top 500 OW mean less

[little lotus]

Very cool. Chills. 😂

[devout void]

hahaha thanks, even if most are private french joke

[little lotus]

Na, it’s cool. Awesome to see some of the OG’s still around on Destiny.

[true mauve]

Tell killothy Furkan destroys on touch

[little lotus]

Added.

[errant narwhal]

It seems a lot more about time investment than skill now, same with Marvel Rivals

[devout void]

mostly play with Globality my pack, kin kin_91, obsidian-uroboros

[devout void]

oh yea, rivals you just need a 50% winrate to reach C1 or even eternity if lucky, many player spam 1000 games each season for high ranks

the game is very casual, they have a GM rank but no Master rank

[errant narwhal]

Yeah its a dumb system, whenever I try to play I just curb stomp in Plat/Diamond but don’t play enough to rank up lol

[potent inlet]

Still pissed at exploiters btw

[devout void]

its very frustrating to solo Q i will become crazy with all the elo t3rrorist, guanguang agent that ruined your lobby, only can play 3 players and its still annoying to be 3v6

[little lotus]

I was Top 1 Pharah for kills in a match. I imagine that lasted only a few weeks. That was my peak. 😂

[little lotus]

Lol

[devout void]

overwatch need much more skill than destiny, i could only play support and watch the god dps carry me

[errant narwhal]

I was top spm on hardpoint on BO3 during its prime lol

[errant narwhal]

I mained genji in the early days but now hitscan with a little bit of genji if the comp lets me

[devout void]

i enjoy watching necross genji

[true mauve]

We doin those cal ops? @karmic chasm

[errant narwhal]

he was fun to watch, i feel like genji gameplay was more fun than flankers on rivals

[karmic chasm]

The wut

[errant narwhal]

i can play some cal ops after I take my dogs out maybe

[devout void]

yea its more fun and people die, rivals you can match 3 healers and feel useless as flankers

[karmic chasm]

If you let me run Rossi 🥺
We just need a t6 helhest

[true mauve]

Bet, lemme do some dishes while you do that

[errant narwhal]

hello i am here

[true mauve]

Oryon got us fr 🙏

[karmic chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/bornskywalker-dap-me-up-woody-woody-handshake-woody-toy-story-gif-26021440

I’ll try to be ready in time but if I don’t hop on, don’t wait up

[errant narwhal]

i got 12 attempts so you’re good

[true mauve]

Oh we waitin up all night like a parent when you past curfew

Later you is more madder we get

[karmic chasm]

I’m also doing dishes

[dusty spire]

Don’t get me started with rivals

[errant narwhal]

gonna scold him when he finally gets on

[true mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-we-one-gif-18212100

Real Rossis do dishes together fr

[errant narwhal]

Bucky is my only lord in 400 hours of rivals

[dusty spire]

You don’t want to see mine lol

To competitive :/

[twilit thistle]

Id gladly have done it but bc I was #1 umeko at one point it appears I cant.

[devout void]

just instant match SG in 0,01 seconds weird

prob 100% bot

its 2am here

[karmic chasm]

Where in the world are you??
Oh you’re EMEA ok

[errant narwhal]

I’m on whenever you’re both ready

[devout void]

netease save the game gg

[errant narwhal]

they’re all real ong

[devout void]

ikora bot are better than most of the top player i know

[errant narwhal]

gets nova bombed in the face

[white fossil]

real i encountered one like 2 weeks ago and was decimated immediately, was not expecting it 🤣

[twilit thistle]

Wish this game had a real firing range. Apex one is so much nicer, tbh im thinking about meticulously syncing my settings so that they match.

[oblique quiver]

Lfg calamity master 1

[karmic chasm]

Ping me when he gets in ig lol

[errant narwhal]

alright lol

[karmic chasm]

I was messing around in the firing range. Finally got oob

[errant narwhal]

not rossi smh

[karmic chasm]

Well I was damage testing as Rossi. Unfortunately Rossi can’t slam and dash twice to avoid kill zones 😭

[errant narwhal]

he needs to evolve

[karmic chasm]

5 star Rossi should drop as the undisputed best character in the game.

[twilit thistle]

Im telling u if rossi shoots an arrow into the confine, it should ricochet. Ez way to fix tg, too.

[karmic chasm]

Generates heavy ammo upon every orange bar kill sounds fair

[karmic chasm]

That would be cool

[errant narwhal]

Helhest damage with just his mastery and 2 movement abilities that also cc

[karmic chasm]

Peak

[errant narwhal]

Also refunds every precision hit, would be balanced I think

[karmic chasm]

Definitely!

And he uses scouts and fusions like Kabr so he’s literally just better Kabr

[white fossil]

his super should also be able to 1shot all shinkas 🙏

[karmic chasm]

Even though he’s close to already being that

[errant narwhal]

Having a super go through shinka shields is actually a cool idea if balanced

[karmic chasm]

Hot take but all supers should be able to down shinkas through stage 40. Supers do bunz damage in this game

[white fossil]

fr it would be pretty cool

[white fossil]

real they do nothing to shinka shields fr

[errant narwhal]

At least let them damage the shinka shield

[karmic chasm]

And shinkas legit can eat two supers after their shield breaks without dying in expanse 40

[twilit thistle]

Wait for the sequel to expanse 40. Expanse 50.

[obtuse turret]

What turret combo will be good for reset tomorrow?

[karmic chasm]

I might quit the game

[twilit thistle]

Blame @shadow ocean if it happens. Zombie has been doing it on ning to raise the difficulty manually. (I would support it as long as it did not scale power further, and lead to stg 60.)

[devout void]

they patch band emote oob

cant make it work since maintenance, wednesday was fine

[twilit thistle]

Tbh i enjoy doing the expanse to stg 40 on characters that are not properly built or are not for speed running (like estella) more than I do speed running. It gives me something to do throughout the 2 week cycle. Feels so good when you finally beat it.

[true mauve]

Im here now @errant narwhal was alot of dishes sorrry

[surreal berry]

@devout void
#off-topic
Noice summer Destiny Rising Images you got chosen for the discord Profile.

[errant narwhal]

all good, ill be on a min

[surreal berry]

“Not properly built”…
But they are at the power level requirement to deal dmg?…

[errant narwhal]

@karmic chasm corndogs gettin on

We’re both on @true mauve

[snow light]

Anybody get past 19 on bulwark ops?

[shadow ocean]

hi

[mint tendon]

Done for now ☠️

[errant narwhal]

@true mauve can you pop both impacts once we get in the ball room and I’ll solo the first one

[soft bobcat]

Afk or not afk? Sure Past 19 while active is still pretty easy

19 is the farthest I've gotten full afk tho

[snow light]

Not afk

Still using supers and the big weapon

I use the hoof, anesthesia, understatement, muskrat and slag launcher

[soft bobcat]

Well actually I should say it's not afk either. I'm using the towers that produce more Polymer to pick up on the ground. So I'm running around picking up etc. But otherwise I'm doing Z damage.

[snow light]

I don’t really need to but at 19 it’s like the big fellas hardly take any damage

I pop supers and everything on them

[soft bobcat]

Yeah 18 to 19 is like a 33% jump in HP I believe

[snow light]

It’s insane. Everything is maxed at that point and I barely get them below half hp

Should I be using something else 6*?

[soft bobcat]

I use hoof, anesthesia, understatement, muskrat as well, but the most important one I use different is Muqam. And that's what I use first in the opening waves to get more polymer

[snow light]

I don’t use them and still get everything maxed. Don’t let any minions through until around round 15 or 16

[soft bobcat]

Yeah that's fine then. No reason going past 15 at all really unless you're trying to have fun with it or flex with it.

[snow light]

I’m just trying to go further lol. I didn’t start until after the hoof nerf

[quaint orbit]

Are these the weekly rewards or is there something I'm missing?

I haven't finished the weekly challenges but I have 5 weekly challenges so 3/3 doesn't make any sense

[soft bobcat]

Yeah post Hoof nerf this one is what we're going for. If you want to push wave 20 and beyond

[snow light]

Yeah my gungnir is only 2*

[soft bobcat]

There are also 3x weekly Rewards for Team normal

[quaint orbit]

Ah okay I have only done endless this week. Thank you

[soft bobcat]

I was confused as well. I did it 3x and I'm not sure if it's worht it or not tbh

Didn't get extra Caches or anything

Extra xp.. but I was already capped

Gotta try to remember to do those first next week for the 1000xp I suppose

[indigo solar]

Only Muqam to my knowledge, the other polymer generators are either time-based or gain significant generation advantages by upgrading

[quaint orbit]

It also drops occultation essence for artificact upgrades past 80 which is a valuable item

Just finished one

[soft bobcat]

Ooh yea I forgot about that. Good call. Glad I did it then

[soft bobcat]

Bruh it's not that deep 😭

[fervent crater]

destiny rising>the other game

[errant narwhal]

Ggs again @true mauve @karmic chasm

[true mauve]

Fr ggs!

[errant narwhal]

Gotta c3 that arby, my damage was a bit lower but that utility is too good

[karmic chasm]

Ggs! Thanks for letting me run Helhest lol. I needed that speed to keep up. Also super helped clear room 3

[errant narwhal]

Hitting a piercing shinka for 950k in one shot felt so good

[devout void]

gg

[soft bobcat]

Agreed. Still c2 Arby and I love it, but the damage isn't there yet.

[errant narwhal]

Yeah if its not a shielded/shinka enemy it struggles lol

[spark hill]

I am almost high enough level to join a guild

[tidal island]

Is there an LFG for the new raid?

[topaz mason]

I wonder in season 4 we are getting a raid playlist

[true mauve]

#lfg-great-hunt

[urban quail]

It is for me 😔😔😔

[spare meteor]

Hi guys

[karmic chasm]

What a perfect response oml lol

The speech at the end of that film is peak writing

[true mauve]

Was a good movie, peak Marvel writing

[cursive pier]

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to downgrade a tower in BulkOps or choose the non upgraded variant? I have a tower that I desperately need for a specific level, but it's upgraded to 3-starts. The cost of placing that tower is 5000 because it's upgraded, which eats all my budget
Any insights how to use the basic version instead?

[visual wharf]

the cost of towers doesnt go up with higher star level

[snow light]

What is the tower?

If it’s to get to endless you don’t need any towers worth 5000

[true mauve]

Put on about 300 more pounds

[rain condor]

Too many Ikoras 🫩

[true mauve]

If only they all had TTF equipped

[rain condor]

Elemental balls and clusters are such a bottle neck for relic ability upgrades & character progression

[errant narwhal]

the balls havent been a problem for me in a while

[sharp talon]

ive also been accumulating a lot lately after putting most of my pinnacle into chaos

[urban quail]

Legit I have over 400 of each in my inventory now. I can’t even upgrade character guildings to burn them anymore

Clusters are the real bottleneck now

hi

Just ran into a Ning running all over crotas first encounter

Hopefully I can get T4 towers and start gliding

[tight talon]

[bitter estuary]

solo is fun but wow 3 man is gonna be stress inducing (bulwark)

[west basalt]

Yall know if the symmetry is better then Polaris?

[errant narwhal]

you heard me

[bitter estuary]

both exists for different coverage, is what i can conclude with,

otherwise unless you can get behind of the timegated mats (infusion cores and photons), i'd rather build the fang of ir yut if you already have the rc

[errant narwhal]

Neither are BIS, I think Symmetry is better tho

Well Symmetry might be BIS on Umeko and Tan but I’m not too sure

[bitter estuary]

symmetry is bis for scout on kabyr if you have a eol built

otherwise fang/TL/lassi+rc/arby is a better choice

i feel like you can't go wrong with any of the scouts, plus mods are easily obtainable without pinnacle

[errant narwhal]

I dont think symmetry over RC or Arbalest makes sense, I don’t have sym built but I do have an EOL built and its not really comparable

The damage difference might not be extraordinary tho

[bitter estuary]

symmetry is for hordes, where heavy is scarce, i assume it'd come in handy in the upcoming condor ops mode

[errant narwhal]

Once we get more ad focused gamemodes vs big enemies it’ll definitely start to shine

[bitter estuary]

true

[random steeple]

wanna look at your symmetry run in current expanse for time on kabr
It would be insane funny

[bitter estuary]

@random steeple

[errant narwhal]

I really hope tg gets a time to shine eventually

[random steeple]

which one mode? bulwark ops or calamity ops? they both ops

[bitter estuary]

upcoming

[random steeple]

Oh ... so symmetry bis but in game mode what we does't have? nice resource advices!

[bitter estuary]

i think tg w/ rossi would be nice in condor ops

[twilit thistle]

6 hours and 35 minutes. Acceptable.

[tight talon]

NA nerd

[bitter estuary]

as i said it's better in hordes it might also be good in morgrans hunt, though we might need to see what's the modifiers and wishes are

while yes arbalest/rc is the better pick, i don't think symmetry is that much of a bait exotic as much as the riskrunner and borealis

[random steeple]

It would never be better in morgan hunts, like morgan run is 90% of the time till the end you using heavies, bcs morgan is still more about killing elites fast

[bitter estuary]

fair

[random steeple]

i mean kabr overall would be bad for morgan, but good heavy would be anyway better

[bitter estuary]

i just though i'd bring up 80/30 buff he has w/ his barriers

80% for scouts, 30% for lfr's

[twilit thistle]

This nerd is global. It says you are offline 🤔

[random steeple]

while yes arbalest/rc is the better pick, i don't think symmetry is that much of a bait exotic as much as the riskrunner and borealis

Well that's not bad like borealis, but still not a good investment from current perspective, and that's diffently not a BIS right now

Also, pretty sure new game mode would be same to current modes in the game, Like most important targets still would be elites or big enemies

[tight talon]

Gotta have coffee before i start tis

[tight talon]

Any free exotic that syncs and has better damage output with character kit is already better

Kabr deals more damage with Scouts than LFR. So any LFR loses the argument instantly

No matter if it's exotic or mythic

[true mauve]

Rossi is bad, TG is even worse. Only 2/3 arrows land 💀

[simple plank]

A Kabr with Polaris/EoL got leaderboard in Expanse

[tight talon]

^

[simple plank]

That seems promising

[sinful totem]

Why is that that?

[tight talon]

His weapon mastery

[bitter estuary]

i assume they had a maxed out polaris

[twilit thistle]

Did you see what zombie did

[cursive pier]

It is Vengence tower and Endless mode. It's 3 stars tower and cost 5000 to place it

[simple plank]

yea

[simple plank]

with ning? who cares

[true mauve]

Jaren with Octant sits top10 😭

[simple plank]

ok thats funny, they 12 tho

[bitter estuary]

also i feel like scouts are "bad" really because ppl look at burst dps more than sustained but that's just me

[simple plank]

I guess they used that one blessing that gives you bodyshot precision dmg using octant?

[bitter estuary]

that being said i do think polaris has a nice implementation of it's scorched effect

[tight talon]

Nah, anyone defending BP weapon suffers from sunken cost fallacy. It happened with Furies, happened with TG and now Arbalest

[bitter estuary]

i can finally cat 3 ts 🙏

[simple plank]

Arby's still really good, highest kabr on the leaderboard used Arby

[bitter estuary]

yes im using ikora so i live up to my name

[simple plank]

I'm on leaderboard with arby too, low tho

[sharp talon]

which mythic primary is best for jaren with octant?

[sinful totem]

Wdym

[bitter estuary]

except arbalest is genuinely broken on anyone BUT kabyr

[bitter estuary]

that being said i have a near maxed eol and maxed rc

so i don't get the argument you're tryna bring to the table rn

[bitter estuary]

i wanna say depending on the element ngl

i just use simit which is wack for other elements but i have attal built so i use it

[simple plank]

Guys Jolder's on Calamity leaderboard!!!

The Jolder:

[bitter estuary]

i'd go for parole personally

[true mauve]

You on EMEA?

[simple plank]

I should be NA

also the finnala

[bitter estuary]

ofc its the pro helhest t6 user with maxed arby 😔

[bitter estuary]

i saw the vid from tangibility

[simple plank]

lol they're proving a point with this doing it on Ikora too

[scenic wigeon]

I think I've seen like 2 finnala users total in this game

[bitter estuary]

6969

[simple plank]

its HH all the way down

[bitter estuary]

finnala is good there's no DoT dmg artefacts yet

[simple plank]

MY GOAT KABR THO

[bitter estuary]

it wont happen for years ig

[simple plank]

HE AINT NO 10%

[sharp talon]

can you post the na arc leaderboard im curious

[bitter estuary]

60%

wow that helhest feeding the kabyr well

[sinful totem]

I don’t get it

[bitter estuary]

helhest carries

[tight talon]

Yeah, but that still doesn't warrant investment.

A person who built HH with Cata 3 RC ain't gonna start from 0 to Cata 3 Arby. Same with Attal

[true mauve]

They are basically 2 manning cal ops

[sinful totem]

She’s amazing

[sinful totem]

Ah ok

[sharp talon]

they shouldve reran helhest if they were gonna buff her this month 😭 i need her

[tight talon]

💀 when did they buff her excuse me

[sharp talon]

arbalest?

[sinful totem]

Yeah how did helhest get buffed?

Isn’t royal contravene still better

[bitter estuary]

considering the amount of 2 man carries in the lb rn with hh+arby and jaren it's a different situation as the last few bp guns

[bitter estuary]

rc does more iirc, but you can deal with impact shinkas and all elements with arby

[sinful totem]

Ah ok

[bitter estuary]

i think arby will be in the meta for.. a while, til they "bug fix" arby

[sharp talon]

at least rn, i see arby users do much more damage than rc users in master calamity

[bitter estuary]

it's why i haven't put much mats onto it

[tight talon]

I mean a high leaderboard is just... People who can dump their life savings and still afford rent at the end of the month.

For us tho

[sinful totem]

Fax

[bitter estuary]

oh that's fair

i'm no way a good player

[simple plank]

its more than money up there. There's knowledge

[tight talon]

Just be an entrepreneur bro

[simple plank]

maybe not the most fair knowledge, enough to be ingroup about it tho

[tight talon]

An average player should aim for Master I Relegation and should be fine every reset. That is too achievable by playing fairly and having movement.

definitely not having a T6 HH oomfie innit @violet sonnet

[bitter estuary]

i just wanna collect weapons really

sad i can't treat the game like warframe, since to max out crap i have to suffer through calops, well atleast i can just clear expanse and get the mats but calops is like being held a gun point until you get to master 1/2 and then finally be able to build the "crappier" units

[sharp talon]

ive found randoms in calamity ops to be fine for the most part. maybe im getting very lucky lol. there usually isn't much suffering for me in matchmaking

[bitter estuary]

true, knowledge about the modifiers and the map itself is important

but then again lynsi helped us so idk

[bitter estuary]

i would rather suffacate myself in sand for a minute than to play w/ randoms

like wdym you leave the moment we didn't do well on zone 1/4

[violet sonnet]

[bitter estuary]

hi balls

@violet sonnet what if we calops and forsaken uses attal

[violet sonnet]

i am currenty in a unskippable cutscene known as work

also he can next cycle cause i still need full arc and solar clear

[remote pelican]

🤞

Rank 1 everything in PvP hehe, total kills, average kills per game, data deposited, rank 1 shifting gates. Trying to put together some fun scrims next weekend if anyone’s down. Point system and all

[viral shale]

Can anyone help with a question about cross progression?

[tight talon]

what cross progression

[twilit thistle]

@little lotus

[remote pelican]

Absolutely

[viral shale]

I started playing on ios and just downloaded the android emulator version and I’ve connected my account and all but it’s still making me do the tutorial and making me create a character name for wolf.

[little lotus]

Lets do it.

[twilit thistle]

[viral shale]

I’m just lost if that’s what’s supposed to happen or not

[tight talon]

You need to bind your ios account with new Google Account

Ingame

[viral shale]

Ahhh gotcha

Thank you

[tight talon]

Through logging into iOS first

[little lotus]

What server?

[remote pelican]

NA/LAT

[errant narwhal]

trying to compete with hh for damage is not it

fact that hes within 5% of the jaren is impressive

[little lotus]

Let’s link up.

I am trying to fix PVP for everyone.

[errant narwhal]

the only fix for pvp is a revival for the game and make the rewards worth it tbh

[sharp talon]

s4 🙏

[errant narwhal]

iron bar needs a rework bad

[little lotus]

Created bots for matchmaking and I am down to help with PVP events.

[sharp talon]

besides iron medley i hvaent gotten into an iron bar match once since i started playing at the start of november

[errant narwhal]

sg at least has a shop with some okay rewards, if they added a couple monthly incan clusters itd help a little bit

or add a low chance of incan clusters or piss bottles to both modes for no pinnacle, easy fix

or the galaxies, idr the name

[little lotus]

I was Rank 1 worldwide during Season 1.

Was so far ahead I stopped to start building alerts for everybody.

[errant narwhal]

They’ve just been horrible with endless grinds

Let people slowly advance without using pinnacle and they’ll see a lot more players

chaos is the only endless grind we got other than crota and thats a solo gamemode

[scenic wigeon]

Playing the beyond light campaign on d2, nice learning what stasis is

[errant narwhal]

Strand is cool too, sucks lightfall was kinda mid

TFS was peak tho

[twilit thistle]

is it mid? I played beyond lights campaign. That one felt short and horrible.

[bitter estuary]

i would play iron bar if it had snowball showdawn rewards atleast with weeklies/dailies like iron medley

like i'd imagine iron bar having rewards like these

[scenic wigeon]

Tbh all rising needs for me to absolutely love it is a character with triple jump and pulse x minigun loadout, till then estela will do

[errant narwhal]

The only good thing about it was strand, the dungeons were okay

[errant narwhal]

They really didn’t try with iron bar’s rewards at all, its a bit sad

[twilit thistle]

They didnt try with many things. But in all fairness, balancing for pvp is much harder than pve.

[visual wharf]

they should add some new artifacts and lock them behind iron bar

[scenic wigeon]

Rising is so much more pve focused

[bitter estuary]

so... it's just shifting gate's talent deck

[visual wharf]

no i mean like actual expanse drop artifacts but the only way to get them is iron bar

[twilit thistle]

The reason they aren't doing this, is because it would mean they have to finish it. The logic behind their reward system points you to content that they have finished. To give iron bar rewards means polishing it. Likely adding new maps, giving it an actuall annoucner, balancing the feel of it. Etc.

[scenic wigeon]

Bru it was free in d1 for doing the story, now its behind a dlc pay wall in d2 :(

[bitter estuary]

girl they haven't even added loudouts yet like we prolly need to convince netease to make customizable loudouts first idk

[bitter estuary]

sounds like it won't happen until the next 2~3 years

[scenic wigeon]

Honestly, a customizable character for pvp would be dope

Like in lego games when you beat the story you get custom characters

[visual wharf]

at least that dlc paywall is like 2 usd

[twilit thistle]

I bet its on the agenda actually. It would be much easier at this point, when they are celarly going to have to budget (and likely suffer budget cuts), to simply focus on making use of what you already have instead of developing something from scratch.

[bitter estuary]

maybe netease NEEDS to make a trello, like to know what we're gonna see in the future

like this

[sharp talon]

which one do you guys like more? red sea rift or jiangshi metro

[tight talon]

Old City

[sharp talon]

yeah i would really like that. environments are cool

[tight talon]

Can't wait for Edge of Fate and Renegades to go on sale so i can buy the whole thing and get archived pass

[bitter estuary]

i wonder why we haven't got the outskirts of haven be playable as a stage/map ?? like i've only seen it in story/character quest

[scenic wigeon]

Tbh, old city would be great as a patrol... like d2 EDZ

[urban quail]

who is that?

[scenic wigeon]

Cayde 6 from the mainline games, idk why it auto corrects to cayden

[lofty gale]

One of the most famous guardians of the OG Destiny

A exo gunslinger

[urban quail]

I thought it was a youtuber, I know cayde 6

[lofty gale]

Oh

[karmic chasm]

Master Calamity is no joke.
Was running with some Helhests and I was Jaren.. bro we were getting obliterated.

[sharp talon]

what happened? you all died?

[bitter estuary]

guys should i cat 3 chappy or octant bc idk

[sharp talon]

octant i think?

[urban quail]

can someone help me reach Expert Calamity ops? One more game and I reach it

[sharp talon]

if youre emea/apac id be down to queue for 1

[bitter estuary]

idk why im having a crisis whenever i upgrade exotics

anyways ill prolly do octant

[urban quail]

Im NA unfortunately

[sharp talon]

oh unfortunate

i havent felt the need to upgrade any more exotics since wolf/jaren right now cover everything for me i think

[karmic chasm]

Mostly getting sniped at random. All of us had no more than a T1 helhest. Best thing I had to bring was T4 Kabr, but they wanted me to run Jaren. I was doing ok but after like 2 deaths it’s just time to call the run. Happened because we kept matching with eachother lol

The one guy apologized and said his HH was just not good. I should have used mine as I feel she’s decent even at T1

[urban quail]

cant do Chaos cuz i need Jaren smh

[rain condor]

DSC was mid too if I’m being honest

[little lotus]

What character are you running?

I can help you.

Oh sorry, I read that wrong. Rawr is EMEA. You’re in NA.

[urban quail]

i ran Kabr, i need him 72k no problem, but the other part of chaos requires Finnala and Jaren

Expanse***

not chaos

[karmic chasm]

Or just Helhest with Arby 😭

[little lotus]

Yeah, I was going to help you with Calamity Ops.

[karmic chasm]

Bc apparently she can do that

[urban quail]

oh bet, i got kabr

only need 1 more

[little lotus]

I’m in APAC.

[urban quail]

im NA

[little lotus]

I got you and Rawrs servers mixed up while reading.

After the global server merge I am down to help whomever.

[urban quail]

merge?

[vapid ibex]

Bullsheet

[karmic chasm]

Anyway @sharp talon I want to reach Master 1 unchanged before the cycle ends so I can have a chance of pushing 2 next cycle. Problem is, my options are limited. T1 Helhest, T1 Jaren, or T4 Kabr. Kabr is not bad, especially for the boss section, but I found him to be so slow.

[sharp talon]

i think if u queue with a good t6 helhest, they can carry you completely on any character basically lol

[little lotus]

Yeah, before Netease merged servers they mentioned APAC/EMEA and LATAM/NA would be merged first. After that, they would merge all servers to a global server.

[sharp talon]

its very helhest reliant this meta

[little lotus]

Glad I have Helhest. 😅

[urban quail]

this means Raid Race titles will be even harder to get lmao

[karmic chasm]

Tbh yes. I have clanmates who are willing, and actually they got me into Expert 2 before me and some friends pushed for Master 1.

T6 helhest is a free ride at times lol

[little lotus]

Yes, which is good though.

[urban quail]

i like competition

why merge tho?

[bitter estuary]

you got nearly 5 pulls for free ig

[sharp talon]

oh you get 60 fortuna crystals after t6?

[karmic chasm]

Bc the player base is relatively small, especially APAC and EMEA

[sharp talon]

i didnt know that before

[urban quail]

i see, i think it is better to merge for sure

[sharp talon]

anyway, they dont remove physical servers when they merge servers. so ping wont be bad

[bitter estuary]

i think netease is trying to implement a way to seperate rankings by individual ranks PER SERVER not fireteam ranks as of recent, before merging all servers at once

like emea has its own lb and apac has its own lb

[urban quail]

After merging, I think it’ll be top 200 fireteams

And remove individual rankings

[bitter estuary]

top 300 individual per region (1200 total)

[karmic chasm]

They tried that the first time and it resulted in tons of repeated people on the board due to carries

[urban quail]

Oh damn, so it’ll be easier then

[bitter estuary]

isn't it like that rn

top 600 for na/latam and top 600 for apac/emea

[urban quail]

Yea they gotta fix that tho

[urban quail]

Fused Together it would be different

[bitter estuary]

i guess it should be top 300 per server, instead of making it top 1200

[karmic chasm]

The way to fix it was by individually ranking people within their fireteam. This meant that even if a fireteam reruns to carry someone, it doesn’t take up 5 more spaces on the leaderboard. It only takes up 1, the person being carried

[cursive pier]

not sure how it will help with Iron Banner. Cannot find matches for the last 5 days in neother of these regions 🙁

[little lotus]

Matchmaking can be an issue.

[karmic chasm]

But then exploits and oob lol and it all went to crap

[karmic chasm]

Yep. It’s a bit better here in NA but not a lot

[vapid ibex]

Beautiful god rolls

[karmic chasm]

Hell yea

We lost so many fun people. So many have quit this game

[bitter estuary]

i kinda regret being in emea/apac bc while it's easier to get titles there's like

no one... literally

[little lotus]

I made alerts for each server and device if interested.

[karmic chasm]

I saw a few pop back up recently

[cursive pier]

what alerts?

[cursive pier]

do we have any stats how many players are online per day?

[karmic chasm]

I’m still cursing the #1 Rossi in NA. He’s a fraud (Ning artis)

[little lotus]

I created them. You can use buttons and auto-mated roles I built into bots.

[urban quail]

“After clearing with the same fireteam, any extra clears without the same fireteam will not result in a leaderboard ranking, this is to prevent repeat/duplicate runs, this gives a fair chance for other fireteams getting their placements. The same fireteam can clear multiple times to improve their time in Leaderboard Rush Phase”.

Very simple fix

[karmic chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/mad-gif-17291530843075000352

[sharp talon]

i think the individual leaderboard is a fine approach already

[karmic chasm]

But then every single person who wants to participate has to find 5 others who haven’t yet competed. We don’t have the players for that

[little lotus]

Made this before they made changes to Shifting Gates.

[urban quail]

https://tenor.com/view/druski-shrug-idk-iono-hands-up-gif-7122581203490458147

[bitter estuary]

good in theory, bad in practice

this will kill emea/apac lb's, like no rlly like imagine we have top 300 for each region and barely over 100 ppl did it

[karmic chasm]

I get the approach. Tbh I’m just happy I got doomsday patrol. Pulled that off with randoms and no mics 😭

[urban quail]

Oh I see what u mean, yea then Individual rankings is fine as is

[little lotus]

You can view my profile and join for next weekends Iron Bar Matchmaking Alerts. Easy to use, sends and recieves Discord notifications for the amount of players matchmaking. You can always toggle them ON or OFF.

[scenic wigeon]

Just got hardlight in d2 just now, can change elements on the fly, that'll be useful

[urban quail]

https://tenor.com/view/matrix-the-agents-know-dont-gif-18536773

[karmic chasm]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but as I recall, elemental shields in D2 felt less durable against the wrong element type vs DR

[urban quail]

Yup. DR punishes you a ton. Only time D2 shields are strong is grandmaster nightfalls or contest modes

Anyone wanna help me in shifting gates? I’m cracked at that game mode but I get trash teams

[karmic chasm]

DR buffed elemental shields too. They didn’t used to be so beefy against the wrong element.

This was not specifically/only for Mahamayuri, but it was one of THREE PVE nerfs they have dished out to that weapon, on top of a PVP nerf.

[scenic wigeon]

I mean... I was running monte carlo on a grenade focused build

[karmic chasm]

Meanwhile it’s still one of the best exotics

[urban quail]

I meant it as in Hardlight just isn’t good, falls off quickly

But even then it still useful

[karmic chasm]

Particularly on Ning, but also Rossi.
I wish it had never received the nerf to piercing. I think that was unnecessary. The others were essentially but fixes tho. Ning’s chain lightning shouldn’t break spread

[scenic wigeon]

Eh, its fun, overpen, and ricochet plus elemental changing

Seems solid

Better or worse than the monte carlo???

[karmic chasm]

My solar warlock used it for the splash melee

[urban quail]

Only like 5 exotics are good in D2 Lowkey, Bungie doesn’t know how to balance their game

[urban quail]

Way worse

[karmic chasm]

Ace is good bc it’s cool

[scenic wigeon]

Hm, so... grenade spaming it is

[urban quail]

The whole D2 meta is ability spams, weapons are almost hardly used unless it’s hard content ofc

[scenic wigeon]

142 grenade stat plus monte carlo mean 1 mag = 1 nade

[urban quail]

There’s a warlock exotic that you literally just spam grenade and clear rooms

[scenic wigeon]

Nah, hunter 4 life

[urban quail]

Necrochasm on steroids

[karmic chasm]

My Hunter was built (with help from a friend) around spamming grenades, dodges, and punching for a billion damage. It was so peak.

I think I occasionally fired like his shotgun or something

[urban quail]

Arc?

[scenic wigeon]

Clusterbomb spam in pvp >:3

[urban quail]

I stopped playin D2 a long long time ago

July 21st, 2024

[scenic wigeon]

I started like 2 days before the dawning this year on d2

[urban quail]

I’m like an old head for D2, I hate that game cuz how Bungie be treating it

[scenic wigeon]

Tbh rising had a batter dawning

[urban quail]

Yup

[karmic chasm]

Yep. My guardian was fairly mediocre, and yet I think he would absolutely MOG any of the current cast of Destiny Rising. Dodge punch punch dodge punch punch they dead

[scenic wigeon]

Monte carlo in rising would go crazy, speeding up ability charge rate

[urban quail]

Used to be an Arc main Hunter, I was clearing rooms

[karmic chasm]

Wolf would become the most busted character in the game 🔥

[urban quail]

That’d be sick

[scenic wigeon]

Tbh the sword dash kinda is op to chain

[karmic chasm]

I just dragged people through VoG or prophecy and punched Wyverns

[urban quail]

Yall making me wanting to download D2 just to show my builds smh

[scenic wigeon]

Have fun with the 160gb files

:|

[urban quail]

🤣

For a game with no content that’s a lot of Gigs

[karmic chasm]

I did it and immediately regretted it again

[urban quail]

Yea I ain’t downloading

Bungie destroyed D2 to unrecognizable levels

[sharp talon]

do you guys use the snowman/pumpkin helmets?

helmets in this game look really cool to me. never really want to use those

i play in third person tho, you cant really tell in first person i guess

[karmic chasm]

Can’t find me D2 guardian so here’s my DS3 uh “guardian”

He was tuff

[serene ingot]

I use pumpkin on rossi and gwynn, makes rossi cooler and gwynns helmet is ugly

But i use decals to hide the 3rd eye because it looks goofy

[karmic chasm]

I took it off Rossi after finishing my decal setup

[serene ingot]

Smh 😔

[karmic chasm]

Smh (super metal hard)

[serene ingot]

Ok i forgive you he look pretty cool

[karmic chasm]

I just need the green ghost

[cursive pier]

True, as a Destiny 2 veteran with over 7000 hours I couldn't keep play it once we defeated the Witness. The game lost its meaning

[spare bronze]

Heeellllooooo

[urban quail]

Facts bro, so depressing seeing a game u loved so much being mistreated by the creators of said game 🥀🥀

[rocky spruce]

anyone know how to beat the bulwark shielded ops level without the shielded turrent unlocked i feel soft locked lmfao

[karmic chasm]

Wassup

[cursive pier]

Level 4?

@rocky spruce cannot share links here. so DMed you the build if it's level 4

[rocky spruce]

its for level 7

[vapid vine]

[magic furnace]

test

[rain condor]

Tractor cannon go brr

[magic furnace]

LFG any fireteam that can help me beat calamity crotas end before it ends!?

[silent magnet]

They broke bulwark ops? I used to get to round 50 no problem now round 9 is hell.

[stark forge]

but it already ended

[raw glade]

remember when we were all begging for clusters?

[cursive pier]

there were some changes, but i dont remember what exactly

[raw glade]

I'm honestly in a good spot to already get another t6, possibly next banner, without spending a dime. This game has too many lulls where we can save currency lol

[simple plank]

That was me with Kabr

I’ve spent on 3 BPs but that’s it

Got him t6 with what I saved

[thin valve]

I had a dream that they did a helhest rerun

[sharp talon]

Same

[neat valley]

helhest banner had so many rewards too, i think they gave you like over 300 artifact essence for t6 her

[sharp talon]

Wth

[stark forge]

We are proud to introduce mythic attal

[neat valley]

it was pay to win for sure

[raw glade]

was he worth it?

[raw glade]

This should be a thing for every single banner. Disappointed that I got nothing when I maxed Jaren

[simple plank]

Absolutely

[unkempt moat]

where did the another calamity event tab go??????

[violet sonnet]

Pretty sure Another Calamity is over

[neat valley]

i think it was only temp

it had a timer on it

[sharp talon]

no its till 3/26. crota week one event is up to 1/11

[neat valley]

yesterday was the last day to get the emblem

[fleet owl]

Anyone know when any of the older mythics are coming back?

[neat valley]

let me double check

[violet sonnet]

Week 1 Event is Another Calamity

[neat valley]

regular crota is staying but not the Another Calamity

[sharp talon]

bruh

[tight talon]

lmaoo

[neat valley]

it says its done in about 3 hours for me

they lied on the roadmap i guess

[sharp talon]

thats the week one event

bro

[neat valley]

if im wrong its cool, i relly dont care, im never playing crota again anyways

theres no point

[sharp talon]

also it matches in game

[neat valley]

thats for regular crota

i said it was staying earlier

theres 2 dif versions

the emblem is def gone in 3 hours tho

[sharp talon]

emblem is gone be cause of the week one event ending

[neat valley]

thats only the week 1 thing

[sharp talon]

yeah, both are gonna end together based on the roadmap

[neat valley]

theres no reason to play the hard one if you dont get a emblem

just farm the easy one

its so weird what they are doing

[sharp talon]

not really. people have complained about removing the hard raid for a while now

[neat valley]

i see people complaining they took it away

i guess we see dif things

[violet sonnet]

dont care what the roadmap says when contest goes by another calamity ingame

[sharp talon]

even if its not as hard as it was in the rush event, it is still harder. it's a compromise by them of sorts

they didnt remove the mode entirely which people were complaining about beforehand

[sharp talon]

ok we'll see in 3 hours and 32 minutes then

[neat valley]

last raid they took away the event one, they only had it going for like 2 weeks like this one

i doubt they keep it, only the normal version

but if they do W

[balmy raft]

Nothing ever happens

[dusty spire]

Everyone get your pools prepared for the cordon

Have atleast 1 class type of each ready

And try to have different heroes with different weapon load outs so you go options for modifiers

[dusty spire]

Every bit, he’s absolutely amazing

[violet sonnet]

ye we'll see then im just going off last raids pattern

[tight talon]

its gonna be 4 days and dont think anything more than Umeko/HH will be required to make it trivial

[indigo solar]

@buoyant orbit 🙃

[prisma nest]

Jade rabbit?

wabbit

[indigo solar]

@south bridge 👋

[south bridge]

Hey

[south bridge]

That 1Guy?

[indigo solar]

Indeed

[south bridge]

Where do I go to find the tech?

[indigo solar]

Just search for vids from me, unless there's something in particular like an activity or smth you're curious about

[bold thunder]

Honestly taniks' post history is better than a wiki

[indigo solar]

Lmao

At least a wiki is organised

[bold thunder]

organization is for the weak minded

Ty for the bulwark tips btw

[tight talon]

gg ez

whoohoo

[indigo solar]

Okay it's 3:45am I think it's time for me to sleep

[tight talon]

jesus

[dry stump]

hello, are there any gift codes available?

[tight talon]

oo forgot. Thanks for this

[naive ingot]

Morning lightbearers

[native sentinel]

Where can i complain about HP inflation in Bulwark Ops. The mode is unplayable now

[tight talon]

idk man just did wave 15 solo

check your tower placements

or level your towers and pick correct decryptions

[short locust]

It is pretty lame how there's just a tower grind to make it anywhere but ig it's not much different then the rest of the game

[dusty spire]

Play over time upgrade turrets, your overall card collection is probably low

[thin valve]

gimme ur layout, im lazy to figure out

[dusty spire]

Gatcha collector games all progression over time

I do like how you need to utilise tower combos for better output

Not just place and kill everything

[short locust]

Im just already bored of Bulwark ops

Which is a rough position to be in, because I need to play a lot of it to get the towers to start getting rewards from deeper waves, which makes it even less fun

[tranquil cargo]

does the clamity version of crotas end have different mechanics? or is it just a beefed up version of the normal version

[sharp talon]

it used to have different mechanics during the leaderboard rush phase. now it is just a beefier version

[tranquil cargo]

ah i see then thanks

[little lotus]

I still need to try Bulwark Ops.

How is it?

[little lotus]

Lol oh no.

[dusty spire]

It’s fun once you get the concept, it will take a lot of fail attempts to understand how to play with towers. But stick to it and keep growing your card collection

[tight talon]

^ too many people try to snowball it and cry once a tower gets nerfed

[sharp talon]

its more fun now than before i think. it was just stone hoof before basically

[short locust]

I didn't even have Stone Hoof before it got nerfed

RNG be fickle

[sharp talon]

unlucky

it was so easy 🤣

[versed scroll]

Still don't have the Ghost Shell. 🥹

[short locust]

The whole "Bloons TD but you have to grind for your towers for all these runs" is uhhh definitely a design choice

It's a loose puzzle but you don't get all the pieces

[sharp talon]

btd6 u kinda still have to do that (xp to unlock tower upgrades)

its more fun in btd6 though

[violet sonnet]

"Endless"
Looks inside
Repeats the same Wave after 15 while slowly bloating HP each Wave and ends at 99

[short locust]

I didn't know there were 6 of em

[violet sonnet]

Does not give Rewards past 15

[short locust]

Yeah the whole game mode is kind of a miss

[violet sonnet]

Like i get why it doesnt stop at 15

But then also why dont 3 man and solo endless share rewards lmao

like there is no point going 30 in solo for weekly when you still need 15 in 3 man to get all your chests

[sharp talon]

you get xp past 15 right?

[violet sonnet]

Yes but thats pointless unless your late to Season

Doing your 3 normals and your 15 waves on endless solo & 3 man caps you

[short locust]

I'm getting to like 6 LMAO

[sharp talon]

i dont play it that much, so i can still benefit from the extra xp. is the cap 45 now? im at 40

[violet sonnet]

Increases by 15 each Week so 45 this Week

ima just do 3 man normal and endless when i get home

wont use pinnacle on endless anymore

and then i dumb the rest into raid ig

[dusty spire]

The game mode has alot it can build on, but for foundations I really like the tower defence

[sharp talon]

it is fast to level up anyway i guess. i was at 25 (or 29 i don't remember) before playing bulwark today, so i guess the extra xp from round 15+ doesn't really matter

[little lotus]

I see.

[thin valve]

Bring me back sh meta lol. Im stuck at wave 9

[wide dagger]

they nerfed my boi

[native sentinel]

Every blue gun is 3 * every purple and mythic is 2* . I know what im talking about I've hit level 35 before the nerfs and inflation happened

[cursive pier]

a quick question - does the middle chest provide the highest chance for the exotic artefact or all have the same chances (Expanse) ?

[deft mist]

Real ones pick the left chest first

[cyan tide]

Same chance

[cursive pier]

why are they visually different then?

[young solstice]

middle is to show you the chest for picking the highest difficulty...it's not about chance

[cursive pier]

so the highest difficulty has no benefits for the better chances?

[young solstice]

i believe it awards you the additional chest in the middle no? Even if you don't use pinnacle...that increases your chance since you open one additional chest?

[cursive pier]

I've been farming the exotic artefacts in Expanse, and very subjectively, it appears that the middle one gives me and exotic artefact each 2-3 rounds. the side one - never
Got like 5 exotics from the middle only.

im not sure if it's an outliner or not

[tight talon]

That's just bias. All chests have the same chance

I have consecutively gotten 3 exotic artifacts back to back to back from all those chest atleast 2-3 times by now

[cursive pier]

if I got an exotic, does it make sense to open other chests if I need just a specific exotic? I wonder if chances got lower if you got it already?

doing a targetted wish run

[bitter estuary]

god when will people learn to use tower in bulwark

[cursive pier]

they nerfed them a bit recently, so probably old build fail

[knotty vigil]

Anyone got a picture of the gilding for the providence triumph? I'm only missing the 4* tower on bulwark one

[tight talon]

I don't have all but which one are you worried about?

[tight talon]

This ones were not done for me. Rest were done

[knotty vigil]

Just want to see if I need to save my challenge keys or anything else for the gilding

[bitter estuary]

ok finally got a good combo ig

[cursive pier]

now do it without stone 😄

[bitter estuary]

i could use the solar mythic, but before this it was 1 star

i did get a lot of copies so its 3* now so idk if i wanna use it

[knotty vigil]

Does the exotic mods one stack when the season started or it only starts after getting gilding?

[bitter estuary]

it's the bouncing death

[cursive pier]

btw, a genuine question - do you know how to downgrade a specific tower to use lower levels? I had a few 3-star ones but their level placement is 5000 and it run out of money 🙁

[cyan tide]

Level doesn't increase their cost, it's based on rarity

[stark forge]

destroy it

[bitter estuary]

just run muqam, and then slowly build the towers you need

[knotty vigil]

I feel like the only hard ones to do here are the bulwark ones if the balance changes are anything to go by

[cyan tide]

If it's retroactive then most people probably got it already

[cursive pier]

really? didn't know. Yesterday i had to use Vengence and it's 3 star for me. Each placement cost me 5000 🙁

[knotty vigil]

I hope it is. I already reached level 86 solo then 30 on co-op

[sharp talon]

@violet sonnet @neat valley you guys were right about it. not sure why the roadmap uses "another calamity" there lol

[violet sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/south-park-its-gone-gif-4104229

[violet sonnet]

i mean tbh it be pointless without the extra clear rewards

and not having matchmaking

[sharp talon]

people still wanted to play it i think

[violet sonnet]

ye but prob minority

they need to incentivize reruns more post leaderboard

[bitter estuary]

omg yes!!!!!!!

i will not get random ahh invites anymore 😭

[stark forge]

make this calamity raid a weekly thing is not a bad idea

[sharp talon]

what would the rewards be?

[violet sonnet]

2x loot chances or smth

[stark forge]

mythic parameter

[violet sonnet]

id rerun even with the added mechanics if odds were better

[mint tendon]

Morning

[sharp talon]

5 mythic parameter for full clear

[stark forge]

this raid shows that sword/symbol looter is the biggest enemy, not crota

[dusty spire]

Quick question for anyone tech savvy, will this run on a Mac book 2022 m2 model?

I got an offer for £200 clean condition I think it’s a grab but I don’t need it other than maybe playing this?

[stark forge]

yeah it can run

[white fossil]

considering my 2021 samsung galaxy a72 can run it i think that should definitely yes

[dusty spire]

Ok ima go for it and take the gamble

[stark forge]

might as well burn the mac with cyberpunk

[bitter estuary]

M2 is like 2050m level (it has rt cores) so sure

Game's min requirements literally a flagship from nearly a decade ago

[dusty spire]

So this is a yes? lol

[fallow mirage]

How come I received the animated crota emblem despite finishing outside of the top 600 ladder? What was up with the “fair play” exploit or whatever?

[bitter estuary]

I said yes

[verbal sluice]

How can you get third arbalest catalyst (where you need 2 arbalests). Is the only way to get it from the season egg shop?

[bitter estuary]

It was damage control, to put it simply

[dusty spire]

Netease playing retention

[fallow mirage]

So ppl just got salty again that they didn’t make the cut and Netease folded this time?

[violet sonnet]

People got rightfully upset and Netease chose to just hand out more Emblems instead of Punishments

[dusty spire]

Seems so, I’m a strong believer in design integrity however fundamentally it shows they care what the current community has to say.

[violet sonnet]

Aka if you didnt exploit but missed Leaderboard you got Emblem

[fallow mirage]

What were they rightfully upset about? What did they exploit?

[dusty spire]

Anyways this should help them make better arrangement for the next event of such magnitude

The raid was well done the execution with neteas was short again…..

[violet sonnet]

Ima keep it real if it happens again they prob just hand out more Emblems again

[dusty spire]

I swear they need a test department, even got a player base probably happy with testing things on alt servers for qol.

[violet sonnet]

Game isnt doing well enough where they are gona punish People i feel like

[vague brook]

So anyway I got my Red Crystal for my Praxic blade today.

[tight talon]

It counts previously gotten ones. All exotic weapons, mods and artifacts

[vague brook]

My warlock is dripped out like a sith lord now.

[stark forge]

the triumph counts occultation essence too

[devout void]

Good idea but they cant even pay voice actor now

[neat valley]

Lmfao

And it’s gone

[ornate smelt]

I beat Another Calamity earlier today but i didn’t get the standard emblem?

[dusty spire]

I’ve noticed this I think it’s more deliberate cost cutting and trying to make use of ai, although I feel you lose a drastic quality in creative design when not using humans.

I’ve also noticed netease has had a lot of staff cuts so I’m not sure if this is a direct correlation.

I do know it not in netease interest to produce low quality designs deliberately.

[knotty vigil]

Iirc they already have test servers that some content creators have access to when a new update is approaching

[dusty spire]

3 more and all none BP weapons are max Cat 🤓😬

[devout void]

Pretty sad

[dusty spire]

True but instead of it being for balances and checks it for marketing/sales :/

[knotty vigil]

They should fr have a test server for people that wan't to actually test new builds of the game

[dusty spire]

Facts so I think the least our community speakers could do is pass the message on and see if we can cook. Depends what netease is looking for in the long term

[cursive pier]

Any Expanse Experts?! I'm on Wave 40. are there any specific Triumphs/challenges that require to get to Wave 50 or 100?

[vapid ibex]

Idk but I love seeing the peeps with 1 hour 20 minute clears 🤣

[fallow mirage]

lol my clear was 44 minutes, so I’m not much better. Tho tbf, I didn’t try for a better time. I just cleared once and called it a day

[sharp talon]

wym? the max expanse stage is 40

[vapid ibex]

44 minutes first clear is good bro 💪 with no exploits of course

[cursive pier]

I might have been confusing with Singularity then

[scenic wigeon]

Took us (a team of 1st timers and like 2 guys that understood what to do) a total of 2 and a half hours to do it on normal mode during the leader order rush event...

[sharp talon]

i havent gotten anything from going to 50/100/250. i don't think there is anything like that for chaos

[scenic wigeon]

We did 1 phase deathsinger tho

[devout void]

Even the poorest game in my country have beta test server before big update

[short locust]

Same here. Got a clear with a bunch of different players, then they wanted to clear the whole thing in 1 shot for a time out of curiosity. Got a 42 min and just left it as is

[south bridge]

So Salvo doesn’t proc bellicose planetismal? 0.o

[devout void]

Its ok use hawkeye or axion

[split wing]

What’s with bulwark now? Does everything but thralls have boss level HP!?

[tight talon]

no?

heavily depends on using varied towers and having some star levels on them

you cant just place all stonehoofs and clear it

[white fossil]

got my 1920 bright dust engram from bp AND im done with acclaim for now in the same day 🙏

[dusty spire]

And combo matching towers like the bleed procs

Damage + of tower (a) in play
Tbf some good tower combos

Took so many wave 5 loses though to figure out :/

[devout void]

some people share youtube here but i cant find a way

ok similar than before (3 muqam at first before Anesthesia btw to farm money, need +1 beam at third upgrade)

[ember elk]

Weighing Hyperaemia vs Glutton on Wolfpack. Does anyone else lean towards Glutton since the bonus lasts until the stage is clear?

[verbal sluice]

How tf do i get more arbalests…. Is the only way through the egg shop thing?

[wide dagger]

It works ?

Bec my all stone hoof build stopped working

[devout void]

It doesn't matter, you don't want to shoot with that weapon. The only time we had to use Wolfpack, we needed the Black Body to Stack perk to kill the Minotaurs in calamity. Kulfi is so much better, except for running sometimes.

[devout void]

yes it worked yesterday and today also ive seen people go lvl 15 with that

[gaunt gust]

Yes indeed you have to pay money to buy more egg or wait and buy next season pass

[wide dagger]

Okie thank u imma try it now

[ember elk]

Working on a Kulfi too. But wanted a Wolfpack in case I need anti-void shields

[devout void]

helhest make it easy but i only have estella, every boss fight i throw the ball when boss and 2 big guy are together in front of the portal, then i go in the back with estella + ult, the point is to focus small guy because your tower need to focus big boss more

[devout void]

you use ning ? but yea if its only to shield whatever, you want more use your heavy and run its the job of ning fei, your friend can send you heavy and if you play an activity with void shield, someone will bring Maru, Ikora

[gaunt gust]

Can someone share a goof kabr resolute build, i’m building simmilar to top 1 in APAC server can u point the pros and cons of this build

[mint tendon]

Good*

[dusty spire]

Check recommended he has 3 builds

[gaunt gust]

Yeah but in the top 100 their is tons of different build and in top 10 no one build like the game recommended

[ember elk]

I haven't tried him yet. Only looking at Jolder since some activities have void shields and impact at the same time.

Ignoring weapons and characters for a moment and focusing on perks, do you have an opinion on glutton vs hyperaemia (aka stage-end vs 10s)?

[gaunt gust]

Top 1 put ring of abundance in slot 1 and slot 2 he use ring of conversion do u guy think that artifact choices is good?

[dusty spire]

Alot of these builds will be quick equips for the leaderboard just use 1 of the 3

[dusty spire]

This is his ranged damage

[mint tendon]

OP build

[gaunt gust]

The 2 slot 1 and 2 not quite do any damage so what if i switch them for another option?

[dusty spire]

Survival and balanced

It’s that simple

[twilit thistle]

I wonder if netease will ever fix the power leaderboards.

[mint tendon]

I'd do the damage build for expanse ngl

[dusty spire]

So easy to overlook

[dusty spire]

Yup damage or balance build

[gaunt gust]

Yeah i know this but they usually use different artifact for slot 1 and 2

[mint tendon]

Who's they?

[dusty spire]

Survival might be better for things like cordon or FairPlay raids difficult damage content

[gaunt gust]

Those guy in top 10 and all the youtuber also

[dusty spire]

Try avoid this unless it’s a unique offering that actually works

These arts sets are build to work with hero play styles

[devout void]

well jolder have ability for that, but i prefer hyperaemia, the damage are so bad anyway, on jolder i rather use kulfi fraternity syncopation, and exotic sword to bypass spread shinkla also, even if its not the best sword, for pure damage there is some good mythic sword

[mint tendon]

Sometimes top 10 on power lb don't even showcase the character they #1 or whatever for

[dusty spire]

Very input out put out but also effects how ability 1 and 2 can be used

[gaunt gust]

Thank you very much i have been confused all day trying to find a suitable build

[dusty spire]

Anytime, anything titan I’ll have answers for

[ember elk]

okay thanks. I'll hold onto my hyperaemia for now

[mint tendon]

What about hunter 👀

[dusty spire]

Don’t collect them

Only the free ones

[gaunt gust]

So can i see your wolf build

[devout void]

mine that I used only 1 time in calam Nexus

exotic was only for power i shoot 0 bullet

[gaunt gust]

I often see wolf main build their atifact to max out weapon damage with inverted fury and explosive shell

[devout void]

but very fun to use wolf strike reset again and again

https://tenor.com/view/marvel-rivals-winter-soldier-bucky-rivals-marvel-rivals-meme-gif-10228106860877527916

[cursive pier]

you just reminded me of my noob mistake when I was farming exotic artefacts but didn't realise that I can choose all 4 for the targeted farm. Instead I farm 1 by 1 😄
the good thing I got TONs of useless artefacts to dismantle

[devout void]

inverted fury work also yes it depend what you want to do

[mint tendon]

And that's probably all you will see

[devout void]

i cant even clear expanse with this wolf, but you can more easily with exotic arc launcher and good artifact

[gaunt gust]

So what if i switch the second artifact of your build to the healing veil for more healinh when spaming the wolf strike

Is that good

[mint tendon]

#1 wolf for NA has the same build you probably see

[dusty spire]

Shield pop wolf is what you want right now.

2 piece spread
Weapon needs to have shield pop combo

For void use the rotation combo no reload if using SB

[cursive pier]

what is his Janen artefacts?

[gaunt gust]

Thanks guy i will start grinding right away

Should have been here sooner

[dusty spire]

Your good game still early days got plenty of time until we hit 1st ani

[gaunt gust]

Yeah this game is rock

I think this is honey money phase before they release more content and lock it behind paywall like d2:))

[dusty spire]

+1 to team rising

[mint tendon]

Well... #1 Jaren for NA got something different 🤣

[gaunt gust]

Hopefully that’s not happen anytime soon

[mint tendon]

This dude is #1 for Jaren in NA

[devout void]

safeguarding is so good i could not die in calam on a low power wolf

[devout void]

perfect

[neat valley]

I wish they would up the limit on artifacts , I nearly have 500 exotic ones, I really don’t wanna dismantle them

[mint tendon]

Yep, it must be

[mint tendon]

That's a lot

[true mauve]

Never know when you will need that combo of stats and arti

[neat valley]

That’s what farming chaos for the last 3 months does

[mint tendon]

True

[karmic chasm]

Anyone wanna push into Master 1 unchanged

[cursive pier]

I wonder why those artefacts when almost everyone recommends the following for Jaren

1. Chiaroscuro - Damage reduction for aggression
2. Talisman of Luxuriance - ​Overshield and healing sustain
3. Valiant Perturbation - 25% damage on buffs
4. Sympathetic Evolution - +7% damage per DR stack

[mint tendon]

One time someone's build was all the artifacts he came with

[cursive pier]

just go and farm the right ones :_)

[mint tendon]

The right one's who 🤣

It's working for him I think 🤔

[neat valley]

I mean every character will feel strong with tier 10 sub stats

[mint tendon]

True

Should they do a character redux draw like codm does?

[white fossil]

debating if i should just blow all my energy this week on doing ikoras acclaim and finishing it completely

[mint tendon]

Ikora main?

[white fossil]

no i dont use her

but i have everyone elses gold medal already now

[mint tendon]

Oh might as well

[white fossil]

finished attal and jolder today so

[neat valley]

I mean acclaim is useless at high levels

[mint tendon]

^

[white fossil]

yeah i think i might just so i have them all done ig

yeah i know, useless past 25

[neat valley]

I’m keeping mine at level 69

[white fossil]

still something to do though

[sharp talon]

a little satisfying to see everything complete though?

[mint tendon]

I thought useless past 60

[white fossil]

idk the boosts are kinda mid but i suppose so

[mint tendon]

Mid but it's a little something

[neat valley]

If acclaim is end game they need to step it up

[white fossil]

fr the only reason ive been pushing it lately is cuz idk what else to focus on 🤣

[mint tendon]

I focus on artifacts and bulwark. Waiting for new expanse.

[white fossil]

i guess i could do 30 to 40 expanse but thats another singular thing every 2 weeks for way less rewards than 20 to 30

[mint tendon]

Sadly...

They need to up those rewards

[dusty spire]

I think it’s time lol

[white fossil]

bulwark bores me tbh i havent played it in over a week, i need to as well to get the 4 star turret for the damn triumph 🥀

[mint tendon]

Time to use xuan wei?

[neat valley]

To dismantle ?

[short locust]

Feels like everyone is using different artifacts on Jaren with success

[dusty spire]

I got him up but i genuinely believe it’s for a solar titan

Fusion impact / spread rocket launcher or machine gun

[mint tendon]

Facts cause this is working

[neat valley]

It’s because there’s not 1 way to play the game , as long as you have matching tier 10 anyone character will feel strong

[dusty spire]

For the collection, I’m working getting everything cat maxed got a couple to go and weapons for this release have been done

[sharp talon]

is that from the power leaderboards?

[mint tendon]

Yep #1 in NA

[neat valley]

All power means is he is upgrading his same artifacts

[sharp talon]

oh i think i would look at expanse leaderboard artifact builds for a better build

[neat valley]

Doesn’t mean his set up is good

[short locust]

Nah most units have very clear BiS, but Jaren feels like they're all close enough to each other that there's actually variety surprisingly enough

[cursive pier]

no, lol

[gaunt gust]

I learned this the hard way

Now i have to find all wolf god roll artifact again

[neat valley]

Anyone can get number 1 power if you keep the first exotic artifacts you get , and upgrade them max right away

[mint tendon]

Yeah

[karmic chasm]

Bc he’s literally just “yeehaw mf” and then you win

[dusty spire]

I believe each character has 3 builds

Dmg
Survival
Control

And I believe that they are all pre mapped to work best for certain activities

It’s not a true statement building game

[sharp talon]

im using inverted fury and obstructing perturbation for jaren because that's the only ones i have decent rolls with. it's not great at all but i can kinda compete with god rolls in expanse times a bit

[short locust]

Yeah if the Artifact farming system wasn't the 7th circle of hell I'd believe you lmaoo

[neat valley]

I believe it was supposed to be that deep but this game doesn’t go that deep where we need dmg survival and control players lol

[mint tendon]

7th circle of hell 😂

[white fossil]

idek what artifacts my jaren has off the top of my head but i know he rules everything he does 🤣

[dusty spire]

Once I’ve done my weapons I can just do chaos to farm set pieces. Thats the next goal since I won’t need so much lemons lol

[gaunt gust]

Yeah but i think sometime that recommended load out not so strong, take wolf for example his popular build nothing match with the game recommendation

[dusty spire]

My biggest recommendation is to get your photons from BM anytime you get enough coins

And be ahead of the drop rate progression

[neat valley]

Yeah photons are the rarest item

[white fossil]

that reminds me i didnt get my weekly bounty coins

[dusty spire]

Quick flex lol

[gaunt gust]

Yeah i’m stacking up like 4 photon waiting for the next battle pass to max out the arbalest

[karmic chasm]

I thought I had gotten a lot from LC tbh

[neat valley]

What level is your black market @dusty spire mine is level 27

[dusty spire]

That too what ever you get from LC is an additional bonus but I don’t depend on LC as the main source it’s the black
Market for progression

[dusty spire]

22 now I think

[gaunt gust]

Photon shark:))this thing litterally never drop from the legendary activity

[dusty spire]

I haven’t had 1 drop in the last 2 weeks I think

[twilit thistle]

@indigo solar 😭 fiinally

[dusty spire]

And all my pinnacle go on LC since I’m weapon scaling atm

[neat valley]

All my pinnacle goes to chaos for the last 3 months

I just buy the piss jars from the black market

[dusty spire]

I get them something like this then move on, just leave the last two upgrades until you want to commit for the full potential.

Almost done everything but some Bp weopons I don’t use

[warm hinge]

Has everyone got all 30 turrents yet?

[karmic chasm]

I’ve been having to use BM for bp tokens soooo

[dusty spire]

Now I move onto my next batch

[still jetty]

lol the bulwark ops now become so extremely hard ah the combatants are to way stronger lol i cant even get to 10 waves now

[dusty spire]

Once weapons are done I’m free to spend all in chaos for set pieces

[neat valley]

I just made it to round 16 ez on the trio

[gaunt gust]

When do u start playing this game and how many character of you had reached above 70k

[dusty spire]

Everyday until we get another round of weapons to the collection

[neat valley]

We literally had to throw the match so we could stop playing

[dusty spire]

Day 1 I only focus on Titan banners

[dusty spire]

My pool so far each character has it’s unique weapon type

I could tier 6 jolder and tan any time but I play very reserved lol
