[twilit thistle]

Its cursed. I want the decals that arent seasonal. Specifically, the realm of the 9 one.

[signal spade]

you cant post billibilli links in here

[twilit thistle]

Its dropped once for me. I think ill run outa inventory room from all the ones I have. i dont even think i can dismantle them bc netease has no logic for inventory apparently.

[bitter estuary]

oh

[bitter estuary]

t a p t a p is somehow banned

[signal spade]

the video of ikora shooting 6 truth rockets in one mag blinking and shooting 5 more makes me think its a truth angle

[bitter estuary]

wtf

thats insane

[bitter estuary]

whats the vid code

[cyan tide]

There's a trailer?

[leaden epoch]

Someone posted videos on bilibili

[signal spade]

/video/BV1h2ctzUEii/ put that after billibili dot com

reminds me of tf2 soldier lmao

[bitter estuary]

holy crap thats insane

[cyan tide]

That's definitely T6 or something lol, she did like 4 blinks in a row

[signal spade]

def looks more juiced than maru at first glance

[bitter estuary]

do i need to get bp premium+ again i feel like game is gonna rob me but i want the p2w advantage

[cyan tide]

Also Truth has a 3 round mag confirmed, I feel like it's gonna be way better than other alternatives just for that alone

[bitter estuary]

no new mythic lgl right?

im gonna put all my mats on the arc lgl

[cyan tide]

We need a mythic rl with tripod so I can run drill

[twilit thistle]

the fact that there isnt a void lgl essentially makes truth still questionably unusable tho, for expanse. That is a significant oversight, bc maru will likely handle it better.

[mental dagger]

If ikora wont be able to nuke through stuff with rl and abilities she will be a brick outside of being a spread runner (if she will be good enough for that)

[cyan tide]

Truth seems to have insane ad clear potential and in expanse you get a lot of heavy
You can probably use it like a primary

[mental dagger]

Most you'd primary on maru in expanse would be random acolytes

[cyan tide]

It could just be that the video didn't make a good job showing it but her blink seemed kinda slow

[mental dagger]

Or chipping at the enemies while capping a zone

[cyan tide]

Idk if she's gonna be good as a runner

[mental dagger]

If its similar to gwyn its gg

[bitter estuary]

this is JUST ikora+

[signal spade]

google translate of the 2 skills and passive tree descriptions

[mental dagger]

If you are accelerated its probably a timeloss to blink on gwyn

If she wont be a good runner she'll just be maru 1.5

Void spread stick with an actual runner in the comp and 1 hh
If she wont outdmg maru and wont be a good runner she will be doa straight up

[radiant anchor]

In the billibilli vid, the guy says truth is prob best choice because of the 3 mag

[mental dagger]

As in outdamaging while still having comparable ammo econ

[signal spade]

yea the like 11 rockets in a row is crazy

[cyan tide]

Yeah, every other rocket will only be able to hold 2 shots max

[mental dagger]

She will need both good abilities and mastery for rockets

If she doesnt run that well

[signal spade]

'if this character isnt better than maru it wont be better than maru'

[twilit thistle]

watch her fail to out dmg ikora 1.0 in some situations (especially initially, when the sweaty ikora 1.0's get mad and take over the expanse leaderboards)

[bitter estuary]

praying next month i accumulate 150k bm tokens so i can just get the bp premium+ and get ikora H maxed out

[radiant anchor]

also he says T1 is very good, T3-5 is straight number increase, and T6 makes the laser come back so 4 instances of dmg in total but only at 60% dmg

[south cargo]

Yeah truth or two tailed the more rocket hits the more the passives will activate

[radiant anchor]

T1 allows the laser ability to apply the debuff

[south cargo]

Two tailed with max

[mental dagger]

Not the point
If she will just have similar damage without being good at running she will be a worse maru because a lot of her job is void elites and gls are better than rockets for that

[cyan tide]

So it seems she's kinda like Jaren, shots with weapons give her stacks and at max stacks she can do up to 3 abilities for free

[bitter estuary]

buts only 2x9?

plus idk if this is element locked or not idk

[south cargo]

Two tailed max is 3 rockets from 1 rocket

Arc solar void

[twilit thistle]

considering they are just recycling expanses, I kinda wonder if she wont struggle on some of the ones that were specifically balanced for maru.

[empty kettle]

So she can dash 3 consecutive times

[mental dagger]

If its like a dodge thats good
If its like gwyn blinks it sucks

[south cargo]

Spread will be less of a pain on Estela for me this week compared to impact

[signal spade]

the week it was maru expanse i swear gallows was target nerfed in that content

[bitter estuary]

no? it only shoots 2 rockets, 1 is void+solar, 2 is arc

[signal spade]

it shoots 3

[mental dagger]

Shinkas were chopped to break in general

[south cargo]

Counts as 3

[bitter estuary]

ill test it out after ikora releases in 6 hours

[cyan tide]

That's assuming each rocket will trigger the effect, she could very well have something like Jaren's stack cd that makes it not useable

[cyan tide]

4 if you time it well

[south cargo]

Only annoying thing is each rock has its own damage so they won’t all get the benefit of elemental damage increases

[last ravine]

Not even a character trailer on release day. Man... what sort of budget do they have?

[south cargo]

If you have extra arc damage the arc rocket will have increased damage

Vice versa

[cyan tide]

Has anyone showed the new artifacts?

[mental dagger]

Gwyn and estella were le the only chars with some sort of attempt at hype💀

[last ravine]

dude. Even Mythic Kabr got a trailer...

[cyan tide]

Every character except Ikora

[radiant anchor]

it has to do with jumping, the bili vid guy said its really good on new ikora and easy to apply

[south cargo]

Gotta make the characters attractive to build hype, people are like that

[cyan tide]

Airborne effects? Sounds like it could be fun

[south cargo]

They wanted the goth

[twilit thistle]

Lmao and i think bungie is vetoing it for "lore purposes" so they can divert the attention to marathon.

[signal spade]

looks like thats the one artifact

[south cargo]

Maybe

[cyan tide]

Isn't that confined axion? lol

[tight talon]

No new artifacts with Ikora 5*?

Mid

[south cargo]

If ikora had a sun bathing outfit the sales and player gain would be alot higher

[tight talon]

Sales be 200% if it was HH and Umeko

[last ravine]

I really hope they are pretending to drop us ikora with no hype and suddenly a trailer showing a surprise additional character we least expected just before the maintenance ends. That would be a good marketing move.

[south cargo]

Umeko gimme

[empty kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-meme-trying-not-to-laugh-laugh-homeless-gif-9458928528704746136

[twilit thistle]

If marathon flops and we get mara sov, yall gotta admit that I told u so.

[tight talon]

That's like copium ngl

[south cargo]

People acting like a trailer is gonna do something

[tight talon]

I'll be the first one to hand you the medal 🥇

[south cargo]

Why is a trailer this important

[tight talon]

So we know how she functions or atleast looks in combat

[twilit thistle]

as soon as u get off of work. Not during.

[signal spade]

talent nodes

[tight talon]

No work to do till Monday

[bitter estuary]

holy crap 74k helhest is great

(i spend all refactors on her)

[twilit thistle]

I wonder if 5 star finalla is next or something else cursed. I still cant believe they gave ikora hair like that.

[radiant anchor]

1. Floating Rift
   When you gain the [Radiance] effect while airborne, you gain 25% damage reduction for 10 seconds.
2. Firm Rift
   Radiance maximum stacks increased by 30%, and while airborne, the effectiveness of gaining Radiance through your own skills is increased by 50%.
3. Agile Assault
   After using a movement skill in midair, your damage is increased by 25% for 10 seconds.
4. Fearless Assault
   After applying a potion to yourself through a skill, your damage is increased by 25% for 10 seconds.

[tight talon]

Spend all refactors, the character does 15% more damage.

[last ravine]

Its not really because of the trailer. Its just something to show that at least netease still cares. A character showcase trailer is something often seen in gacha games... if netease cant even bother to do that. Thats just sad tbh.

[tight talon]

Jeez most boring ahh arti

This the 3rd time we got movement to damage artifacts

And i am guessing Radiance is going to be Overshields again

[twilit thistle]

This again fails to acknowledge that d2 is in the exact same boat, the silence boat, with an extended season, and a playerbase just as angry.

[radiant anchor]

Yea I think it means overshield

[tight talon]

There's playerbase in D2?

where's the steam chart proving me wrong

[radiant anchor]

Catalyst 2 and 3 of truth, basically increases dmg dealt to same target

[lost sierra]

alright, place bets, how they planning to prevent people from running maru?

[south cargo]

Works well with ikoras traits

[limber pine]

Plot twist ikora is solar warlock now

[twilit thistle]

The same way as helhest, put in a warning but dont follow up on it. Recycle the same content, that was balanced for maru, and watch ikora get melted.

[south cargo]

Seen her use chaos reach

[bitter estuary]

doing good deeds even though i only have a t0 helhest

[radiant anchor]

bilibil dot com
/video/BV14RctzVEnF/

around 1:10 he shows Truth, then shows twin tails

[south cargo]

Average kabr

[bitter estuary]

bro felt like he was doing damage but my helhest shreds through anything

[lost sierra]

if not using contravene or arbalest it's basically throwing

[bitter estuary]

tg = sucks

[south cargo]

Never played with a kabr that was useful

Always playing slow as possible, only use scout rifle

[bitter estuary]

unironically

the jolder was shredding through the spread shinkas, wow an actual useful jolder for ONCE

[lost sierra]

I'm still convinced the best characters are those with more than one shinka weapon archetype unless you are helhest

[rotund flame]

I feel like I'm the only kabr that plays him somewhat decent lol

[karmic chasm]

Oml. Even scrolling on discord is faster @twilit thistle

[rotund flame]

Here is me doing okay with 2 t6 players in my game

[south cargo]

I think it’s whatever characters have the best heavy

[karmic chasm]

Rising is gonna feel like a new game when I come back

[cyan tide]

That's why Finnala is the best character in the game

[twilit thistle]

i did that about 20 times. if anyone needs help on ur server, be sure and help them tonight. I helped thatdonfc to get 100% of the rewards. Every time u solo q, 2 ppl are less likely to quit.

[twilit thistle]

Having a partial seizure, bout to hop off too.

[karmic chasm]

Huh… I upgraded phones

lol what did you think

[lost sierra]

my current void/solar/arc characters for most content is just t6 jaren with a different flavor of shotgun.

[rotund flame]

When we getting another rapid character? Felt like ages since the last one

[bitter estuary]

i bring a helhest -> everyone stays
i bring a kabr R -> everyone quits

is this because i have the animated emblem?

idk why

[lost sierra]

instructions unclear, new precision character soonTM

[empty kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-meme-stan-twt-suspicious-suspicious-cat-buckspendragon-gif-310094932943837255

[bitter estuary]

what did you get

im gonna upgrade soon™

[compact stream]

Why , bufff food exist if we can't use anyoff food other than normal gameplay....

[rotund flame]

Actually forgot that was a thing lol

[compact stream]

, ohhhhhh does anyone knows buff food exist...

[bitter estuary]

because characters are alr powerful enough lol

[compact stream]

That's my question .... Lol

[scenic wigeon]

Wouldn't buff food work in the expanse?

[bitter estuary]

if she's the best then where's her dot damage artifacts 🥀

[scenic wigeon]

I donte remember it saying anything about it not working there

[cyan tide]

There isn't any because she'd be too broken frfr

[compact stream]

Atleast if we could use in all modes , ...

[bitter estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/oceanmam-bird-staring-gif-21593664

[compact stream]

[tight talon]

They don't need to. Ikora got movement and ammo overfill. She's Void Jaren

[sinful totem]

Do those exist???

[bitter estuary]

not yet, it's why finnala has been the worse character in the game since launch

[sinful totem]

I thought that was Xuan Wei

[lost sierra]

But does she have standard character level balancing? Will she actually do damage?

[karmic chasm]

17 pro. Honestly fairly impressed so far since I was on a normal 13 before

[bitter estuary]

damn also btw that thing has 120fps

so it's gonna be smooth

[karmic chasm]

That’s why I’m so excited! Might make rising a lot more enjoyable

[sinful totem]

You think she’s worse than Xuan Wei?

[bitter estuary]

cons: it runs on a lower res because of 120fps (it's also the case on android apparently)

[karmic chasm]

It’s definitely a bit hotter than my old phone but everyone that has a 17 has made note of this

[karmic chasm]

Rip. I wasn’t at max anyway tho so maybe it will be ok

[lost sierra]

I stg there was a xuan wei that did more than some kabr in op cordon.

[bitter estuary]

that 75k xuan wei?

[karmic chasm]

Reminds me of some of my Rossi runs with people

[lost sierra]

Not sure who, but whoever they are they were based af.

[karmic chasm]

In like GMs or occasionally calamity

[rotund flame]

Don't think i seen a xuan or finnala since release of the game lol

[karmic chasm]

Kinda can’t wait to hop back on now, but I don’t look forward to grinding Trinity. I’m essentially stopping my Rossi power grind until I max Trinity tho

Which is fine, I’m probably 2 weeks of pinnacle off max power anyway

[sinful totem]

Right but which do you think is worse like objectively speaking

I’m thinking Xuan cus fusions are horrendous and his ability gameplay loop is very lackluster

[rotund flame]

Honestly no clue, I never used them and know very little about there kits

[sinful totem]

Finalla at least has range with her auto rifles and Patridge can be another ranged option + pop spread shinkas

[raw glade]

Hey everyone, remember to use your occultation essence

It goes away at the end of the season, but the level ups on artifacts last forever. Level anything you think you might use one day

[bitter estuary]

which ends in... 42 days?

[raw glade]

in a few hours...

homie's drunk

[bitter estuary]

?

[sinful totem]

Do they go away tomorrow or not

[bitter estuary]

no

[sinful totem]

Does the extra level increase actually stay forever

[bitter estuary]

yes

[sinful totem]

I hate misinformation

[scenic wigeon]

Pt 1 of season ends soon... he got mixed up

[sinful totem]

So at the end of act 2

[scenic wigeon]

Yeah

[sinful totem]

The level increase does still stay - correct

[scenic wigeon]

For about 40 more days

Even then, they give you a good chunk at the start of the season to get it back up there

[sinful totem]

Hmmm

[scenic wigeon]

Or however long, I dont look at it

[raw glade]

ohhhh, my fault. For some reason I thought season pass = season

I'm drunk

but I suppose it's called "battle pass"

[raw glade]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-rfk-jr-rfk-politics-lol-gif-18340038467810313720

[bitter estuary]

guys why am i dealing more damage with arby consistently i hope i'm not delusional bc ppl have been yapping that it's only good on a t6 hh 😭

[raw glade]

If I remember correctly, don't you play below Master/Expanse 40?

If so, it doesn't really show at lower level activities

[bitter estuary]

i still use arby for shielded ads/shinkas because i die a lot and im a noob

[stiff breach]

would the best weapons for ikora be drill and mythic RL?

[karmic chasm]

Very likely. I know people have done some crazy stuff with the mythic rls

[solar narwhal]

Does he know

[bitter estuary]

ikora or ikora H

[karmic chasm]

What

[solar narwhal]

He doesn’t know

[karmic chasm]

Dog

[stiff breach]

both

lol

[karmic chasm]

I have a feeling I do know but context is being restricted

[empty kettle]

5*

[karmic chasm]

Yea I’ve been on hiatus not UNDER A ROCK 😭

[sinful totem]

Pretty much

Drill is a safe bet

We don’t know yet how good truth will be or if it will even be good at all

[bitter estuary]

idk yet

better save

[stiff breach]

ill save my shards for now

[flint aurora]

Have to see how the abilities interact

[cyan tide]

Truth has a 3 round mag and Ikora can overflow it to 6, it's probably gonna be BiS just for that since she can shoot up to 15 rockets without reloading

With other options you only get 5 rockets

[flint aurora]

Damage per rocket is also going to matter. Good thing it’s void

[sinful totem]

Confirmed?

[flint aurora]

If they finally add the cluster mod, four horn is going to be a good competition even if it’s arc

[cyan tide]

There's videos showing her gameplay with Truth, I don't think they'll change anything drastically so close to the update so it's like 90% confirmed

[bitter estuary]

if they add the perk upgrade i'll grind crota deathsingers till i rot and finally get the mod idga damn i just want the mod

[cyan tide]

I'm excited for Ikora but I don't like that Truth seems to be far and away BiS, I'm hoping we get a mythic RL with tripod so drill becomes a more competitive option

[hidden carbon]

They need to sell that battle pass

[flint aurora]

I got all my Ikoras gear maxed out. I wish build crafting was better in this game

Artifacts are practically set in stone and it’s sad

No creativity to the players

[stiff breach]

how easy is this to get?

[bitter estuary]

true

why do you need a total of 60 mobius to max out a mythic weapon

[bitter estuary]

insanely easy

like so easy it's laughable

[cyan tide]

Pretty easy, most low rank matches are against bots so mvp is pretty much guaranteed

[stiff breach]

just need to play whenever there are actually players lol

[bitter estuary]

would help but you're in na 😔

[stiff breach]

im in na lol

[flint aurora]

If I played more than three characters, I’d probably have the same issue. I used all my clustors on all three of Ikoras rockets

[cyan tide]

Server merge when

[stiff breach]

sitting in queue atm 17/18

for 30 mins

[bitter estuary]

this would solve crota lfg so bad like i only duo deathsingers when someone in my friendlist is on

[bitter estuary]

its fake, only 2/18

netease deliberately faked it

[stiff breach]

thats stupid

they should just let us play with bots for most stuff if no server merge

[bitter estuary]

crota's end is so crap because pls queue everyone i need my MODS

[flint aurora]

Man, I haven’t even touched crota

[stiff breach]

i hate most people in crotas end cause they dont know what to do for either bridge or crota lol

[flint aurora]

Just leg campaign every week because I honestly don’t care anymore

[bitter estuary]

if it wasn't about non-pinnacle mythic/exotic mod farm i wouldn't do this

[stiff breach]

im trying to get my friend the ghost shell but he barely gets on to farm lol

is first and 3rd encounter the only ones you can 2 man?

[bitter estuary]

yeah

bridge 3 man, crota 3~4 man

[karmic chasm]

Bridge is fun bc you get to teach people the secret part

[oak kettle]

They do, just not as teammates cus damn would they be frustrating as teammates. Still should be an option, but eh, finding 2 people for shifting gates isnt the worst. You only need to find em once cus they will stick around for the 3 games to get lumina once you get em too

[bitter estuary]

oh true

[stiff breach]

ill just wait till i get home tomorrow lol

[oak kettle]

Honestly I crack open the shifting gates Q the moment I log in each day. If I find a match b4 I do my daily commissions and tower stuff then there’s that week’s set done

Cus again, it’s so dead that if you manage to find a team you will get to do all 3 games with them

[stiff breach]

im just trying to get the season title done its the last thing i need

[oak kettle]

Ah, I’ve got some challenger ops and 7 min bridge left personally

There is just nobody queuing bridge anymore tho which is pain

[stiff breach]

i did the bridge when a streamer was doing community helps

[oak kettle]

I’ll probably just put a post in the lfg channel at some point soon and hope for people that way

Or hope that people come back for a few days for Ikora 2

[stiff breach]

you can save some time if the first person with the sword swings across before the bridge is built

[oak kettle]

Classic manoeuvre

[sinful totem]

Hardest encounter in crota is abyss or bridge

Mfs can’t handle mechanics for the life of them

[oak kettle]

Abyss is easy af, you just need 1 person who kwtd

[sinful totem]

Isn’t there cooldown on relic? Or is that only in d2

[oak kettle]

Bridge low man Strats are not as simple so you can’t just hope for a couple competent randoms and carry the rest, it is all or nothing

[oak kettle]

D2 only

[sinful totem]

Ah ok, good to know

I need one more symmetry copy and then I can stop farming that raid

Well, I guess I should get all the god roll mythic too but

A lot of the guns aren’t so appealing

[oak kettle]

I need 2 personally and triumph stuff

[oak kettle]

Nah, just make engrams for em. Far faster and easier

[elder wing]

Rapid arc void spread

[oak kettle]

And yeah the Crota weapons are just kinda mid. The pulse is alright but thats about it afaik

[oak kettle]

Void spread yeah but it’ll be arc precision

[sinful totem]

What about the bulwark guns

[oak kettle]

It’s always New Character + Last Character as the 2 sets

[oak kettle]

Stryker’s is good. Dunno about the rest tbh

[elder wing]

Yeah but I feel like that won’t be the case this time

[elfin drum]

does anyone know what the best RL is for ikora rn, since i imagine it'll be the same for the mythic version

[sinful totem]

What roll

[sinful totem]

The arc one with auto loading? Maybe

[oak kettle]

Giga heavies against under half targets and light gives heavy energy

Dunno the perk names off the top of my head but that’s what they do

[oak kettle]

Wouldn’t know for mythics but don’t be surprised if the battle pass exotic would be her best in slot

[elfin drum]

it's just that i already have maru's GL maxed out so i think it would be a waste to build an exotic RL

[oak kettle]

Also Ikora 2’s kit might influence the wanted rolls a fair bit

[elfin drum]

i'm also sick of needing so many tokens to max out a bp weapon, like i want to save them up a little

[sinful totem]

Not gonna change

[elfin drum]

i know but if i skip maxing it out this time i'll have enough without needing to use black market tokens for the next one

[raw glade]

Should I even try to do some Operation Cordon before reset? I never touched the activity, it looked boring and unrewarding.

[misty halo]

ok who watered and futurized Ikora's head?

[fervent nexus]

its just a mirage we must save everyone now

[sinful totem]

Has clusters what do you mean

[raw glade]

Veteran players aren’t really needing clusters anymore

[empty kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-cat-gif-27161395

[sinful totem]

You have all characters maxed out?

[raw glade]

No, and I really have no desire to do so

[sinful totem]

And enough stocked up to max out the next 2-3 characters? Goddamn

[raw glade]

yes

[sinful totem]

You’re rich

[raw glade]

These things just accumulate fast

I have a maxed Jaren, Jolder, Ning, Finalla, Umeko, Tan, and 4 star Kabr

I tend to skip a lot of limited heroes as it is

[oak temple]

It's become so much easier when you have 40days plus to grind without actual spending

[sinful totem]

I mean I still find that pinnacle energy limits my grinding capabilities

Maybe I just wasn’t as efficient with my grinding tho

[oak temple]

It's just legendary campaign and expanse

[hidden carbon]

Probably good for the next 2-3 characters at least

Artifact essence is the main bottleneck in the game for maxing a character

[regal gulch]

Bro same need artifact essence like crazy but to lazy to farm it have over 3.2k energy to use on it but way to lazy to

[waxen jetty]

Is there any gameplay leaks for Ikora 2

[wheat ferry]

Apparently on bilibili. TLDR truth has 3 rockets per mag

[waxen jetty]

Ok thanks you’re a peach

[bitter estuary]

The truth has 3 mag, ikora H can essentially double the mag to 6 based on cn snapshots

[wheat ferry]

Oh apparently she can dash up to 4 times as well

[waxen jetty]

Ah okie thank yall

[dusty spire]

Filler event ends after ikora, we move into -> S4 reruns -> S5 new heroes introduction

Est coming back :/

[tight talon]

We getting another Solar Impact

It is indeed Finnala 5*

[dusty spire]

If you think netease is continuing the event ok

[hidden carbon]

Should be rapidfire 🤔

[dusty spire]

But this even is an 84 day

[tight talon]

Finnala is both Rapidfire and Impact

[dusty spire]

And ends on ikora last day

[hidden carbon]

[dusty spire]

This ain’t a 120 day event of remade characters

[hidden carbon]

Nothing can make me run finalla. She boring af

[tight talon]

A 5* version, she just burns everyone and everything by spinning 24/7

[hidden carbon]

Id rather a spin to win hammer of sol or axe like saladin

[hidden carbon]

She can spin straight into the trash bin

[tight talon]

we were saying that about Ikora 5* pre kit leak

Look how tables have turned since then

[hidden carbon]

She looks fun at least from the bilibili vid

Basically void jaren with rockets

[wheat ferry]

Ohhh the event to get 60 free draws ends 2 weeks before the banner ends too. Interesting

[dusty spire]

The filler vents are done

Everyone thinks we are going full circle into character reworks lol

S4 hero reruns coming

[wheat ferry]

They also put morgrans in the patch notes like 2 weeks before it drops💀

[livid sable]

Season 4 ready to put fresh paint on old content let's gooooo

[hidden carbon]

It’s a filler for the filler act

[dusty spire]

Advanced notices that was really off right

[livid sable]

Fillerminator!

The Filler Pit!

[hidden carbon]

It’s going to be fulminator for calamity again isn’t it

[dusty spire]

Niceee void CC

[wheat ferry]

"Ikora used rock slide"

"It's super effective"

[hidden carbon]

Are the new artifacts worth running?

[wheat ferry]

Kabrs ones?

[tight talon]

For activity reasons.

[wheat ferry]

But what's the recolour like?

[hidden carbon]

She has new artifacts

Just wanted to know if they sound any good

[wheat ferry]

I'd wait until we get the english translation before deciding or hope someone can read Chinese because the translations are hit and miss

[frail fractal]

Servers down?

[elder wing]

That skill looks cool af lol ngl

[naive ingot]

No, servers up for 2 hours..then it's maintenance

As I'm logged in atm

[elder wing]

So is it maru or ikora? Who’d yall pick?

[naive ingot]

Ikora.

[elder wing]

Wow really??

[tight talon]

Maru is slow as hell

And the game incentives people who move fast

[elder wing]

Yeah true. But is new ikora any faster?

[tight talon]

If Cordon was actually king of the hill, Maru and others would be really good

[devout void]

Gold and other is like pink purple

[tight talon]

She gets movement tech like Jaren

[elder wing]

No way lol wtf

[tight talon]

Why do you think everyone's suddenly glazing her lol

Maru isn't even in the ball park now

[elder wing]

Wait is that dash confirmed is a movement tech aka speed?

[tight talon]

And people who say Maru don't know about her kit and presume 4* Ikora

[tight talon]

Yeah

I'd still wait for full release to be sure about it

[elder wing]

Well. That changes things then…

[tight talon]

• it overfills her weapons as well

Like Jaren (he full reloads, she overfills mag)

[elder wing]

Yeah basically 2 jaren

[frail fractal]

Its mythic ikora right??

[rotund raptor]

Is this only for the new launcher or it can work with any

[tight talon]

Any, her kit overfills the mag. By how much we don't know

Someone was saying you could use Truth 15 times with her

[rotund raptor]

Ahh ok thanks

[tight talon]

Without reloading at all

[hidden carbon]

Wonder how it stacks with autoloading holster

[elder wing]

Ohh dmn just saw the dash. So it’s basically jaren and gwenn combined

That Truth looks sick too

Her super looks cool af

[dusk hemlock]

more booms

[violet minnow]

Lmao this ikora sign2 basically copy and paste viktor's E skill from lol 😂 and her T6 is basically viktors empowered E

I'm stick with Maru this time

[dusk hemlock]

maru is pretty solid

[toxic socket]

What does her Talents and weapon skills give?

[dusk hemlock]

more stuffy stuff and damage

[sharp pelican]

rip chinese better rewards

[sharp pelican]

my girlfriend is chinese i can ask if you want something translated

but atp it’s like 4 hours away almost no point

[tight talon]

Gonna expect Leaderboards to be T6 Ikora x2 and T6 HH

Don't think next Cal Ops gonna have more Precisions than Spread

[thin valve]

new char when

[tight talon]

Maintenance in like 1 hour 20 mins

[naive ingot]

I prefer warlocks...

[naive ingot]

[tight talon]

[naive ingot]

So hard not cashing in my bounties till after maintenance 😂

[pulsar coral]

i mean if you’re anything like me you’ll hit level 100 on the pass anyways, not sure if saving them is really going to do all that much

[tight talon]

Bounties give BP exp?

i didn't know that

[naive ingot]

Yep. As it resets after maintenance. And probably need them to do daily stuff to get boats for ikora draw (like Kabr2)

[dusty spire]

So if I just leave these they end up in my messages ?

[dusty spire]

Warlock 😎

[unborn turtle]

Just checking to see whether it was all a joke and Ikora is in fact not another double spread character?

[dusty spire]

See I only know crayons and titans what’s warlocks?

@naive ingot

[dusty spire]

Facts

[wheat ferry]

She seems like a good double spread at least...

[dusty spire]

I forgot to complete it 😩😩😩😩

[sharp talon]

did you save at least?

oh wait maintenance starts in under an hour

[unborn turtle]

sigh

[dusty spire]

Urgh I don’t think so, my fingers always does the quick restart input

[sharp talon]

bruh i was tied for first on solar expanse. hopefully i can get a run in before maintenance

[dusty spire]

Actually I think I did

[dusty spire]

I can’t complete it even with finnala atm 🥹

So annoyed because that sweet business buff is all I needed

Also I wanted to say, if ikora is your thing and you want her at what ever min-max potential go for her!

Remember it’s your game and most importantly to enjoy it, don’t go chasing things that in the long run you won’t enjoy.

Ikora warlock mains collectors how ever you wanna identify….carry me please 🙂

[sharp talon]

i didnt realize it was posted above

[dusty spire]

Flashy

Very flashy

Great void mob damage so shield breaking looks absolutely amazing

Direct damage looks like her weakest joint like most CC based damage.

Multi shot exotic goes great for CC weopon damage build (blast damage radius ect)

If not that build your working into ability based damage.

She don’t look hybrid more so
One or the other

[tight talon]

TTF is multishot

So we still fine

[naive ingot]

The tears of hunters 😂😂😂

[upper bronze]

Maintenance Notice!

The Destiny: Rising servers will be brought offline for scheduled maintenance on <t:1766055600> in your timezone.

During this time, the Destiny: Rising server will be down, and Lightbearers will be unable to log in to the game. Please plan your game time accordingly.

We anticipate the downtime to last up to 3 hours and will keep you posted on any unexpected delays."

[worn jolt]

Huh

[dusty spire]

Almost complete s1-s4 catalyst 😬

Few left to go and I’m done. 😭

Think I can complete in 40 days

But not the Bp weapons screw those until I really need em

[plush void]

Hi

The Arabic language should be added, along with a 5v5 mode that includes rankings, valuable prizes, and a unique hashtag.

[dusty spire]

Finally :/

[sharp talon]

rip 😢 i couldn't get a good run before maintenance

[raw glade]

She's going to be so good.

I wonder if she can renew my interest in the game and get me to spend my currency.

It'll be interesting to see if Truth can deal with rapid fire shields. 3 rockets per shot, 6 shots in a row is what I heard?

[sharp talon]

i really want her when she releases but im saving for helhest 😢

[raw glade]

Nah, it'll be too slow.

better than nothing I guess.

[sharp talon]

i hope im patient enough to get enough free pulls

[raw glade]

I never pulled on the Kabr banner

[sharp talon]

oh you just waited for them to turn into blue boats?

[raw glade]

so all of those boats are converting to permanent for me. I might do that again tbh.

Yeah

[sharp talon]

that would be the most prudent thing to do but im impulsive lol. i was very patient with jaren

[raw glade]

I don't see the value in spending any extra limited boats or leaves on a character that will be moved to the permanent banner with this new system

definitely wait for them to shift to permanent, and rack up those selections

[sharp talon]

she seems really fun and good though. i love jaren and now she seems like a spread jaren 😂

[raw glade]

Yeah, she's going to be meta for sure.

I can actually really use her, considering I didn't pull Maru.

[rotund raptor]

But wouldnt pulling for her from begining help with the activities of the act

[raw glade]

But I'm just not super interested in the game anymore, I don't really care about going beyond Expert II or Master. So I could continue improvising with Jolder on spread content.

[autumn bough]

i hope they release her trailer just right at the end of the maintenance, Kabr had 1.5M views on his

[sharp talon]

its confusing why they did zero marketing when she seems much more fun than kabr 😂

[wheat ferry]

And like 8k legitimate views😂

[wheat ferry]

All the marketing budget went on viewbotting

[dusty spire]

I just want copy’s of Umeko

[sharp talon]

maybe if ikora came first before kabr, people would've been more interested

[dusty spire]

Two different play styles

[raw glade]

her talents aren't that good

I have her 6 star and it's no different than like 2 star

[dusty spire]

Ah it’s from the collection pov

[sharp talon]

kabr is good but i think jaren style play is more popular

[finite yew]

Umeko is the most fun character in game rn

[dusty spire]

She part of my core collection outside of my titan always pulls. So I need to max her T6

Or ocd kicks in

[sharp talon]

i guess people would be even more upset if ikora came out right after jaren because maru was just before jaren

[dusty spire]

2 legendary left

[raw glade]

My love for Jaren was destroyed with the Old Prefect nerf

that gun felt so satisfying for those two weeks

[wheat ferry]

That's getting a buff too

[sharp talon]

they buffed old prefect in this patch btw

[dusty spire]

It’s buffed

[sharp talon]

and crimson

[raw glade]

yeah, but the stag generation was what Jaren needs

[dusty spire]

And sweet business buffed

[raw glade]

the 50% explosion damage won't really do anything tbh

[wheat ferry]

Logically Ikora before kabr would have fit the theme of the season way more

[raw glade]

imagine that WITH the stag generation....

Maybe they'll stealth reimplement the stag gen?

[sharp talon]

yeah but maru was right before jaren

[raw glade]

or it'll happen accidentally again

[modest mortar]

wait is ikora banner gonna have its own pity?

[raw glade]

yes

[modest mortar]

I stopped at 7 away from guarantee on purpose ffs

[raw glade]

wait

I'd have to guess the Kabr pity carries over?

because it can't carry over to permanent

[sharp talon]

meta for these special banners is always doing single pulls i think if you're using their charms

[wheat ferry]

We don't know yet. If ikora is going in the Genpool like kabr then the chances are it'll be another event banner

[raw glade]

because the Kabr banner accepted limited boats and leaves, it really has to carry over.

It would be awful practice if it didn't.

[modest mortar]

but pity from jaren banner carried over into kabr banner no

[cyan tide]

No

[raw glade]

Jaren pity will probably carry over into the next true limited?

[cyan tide]

Yep

[raw glade]

They better be keeping track of this stuff.

[modest mortar]

oh I thought it did

i jus remember i got a jaren copy on the last day so I was still on 60 guarantee lol

[raw glade]

I also pulled my T6 on a single

so fresh for me as well

[modest mortar]

yea same

[sharp talon]

how many pulls did it take you?

[modest mortar]

t6 on last day 🔥🔥

[raw glade]

many

[modest mortar]

about 150 max for me lol

[sharp talon]

wth ur really lucky

[modest mortar]

jaren was my banner 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[sharp talon]

it took 346 draws for me 😭

[dusk elbow]

hey there game is offline ?

[wheat ferry]

Mines 59 away from pity so we'll see at reset

[modest mortar]

yes

[dusk elbow]

ty

[raw glade]

what did you pull with that one single lol

[thin valve]

Is ikora : the trash gonna be free?

[pulsar coral]

pitty better carry, literally says when you click on the question mark beside kabr that it carries over

[wheat ferry]

I done it for science

[sharp talon]

yup

[wheat ferry]

Already had a T6 kabr

[sharp talon]

did you see gameplay? she seems good

[thin valve]

I hope they cooking a good limited banner cus im hoarding my draws for a reason

[thin valve]

Nah did they post it on official dr yt?

[modest mortar]

cold

[wheat ferry]

Technically the wording says "limited draws" so it could not include event banners like kabrs

[sharp talon]

no its weird they did zero marketing but its on chinese server already. its like a spread jaren

[thin valve]

Where can i see

@indigo solar u definitely have a gameplay

[pulsar coral]

don’t let me pull using limited banner pulls if they wanna be slimy like that lol

[thin valve]

thats cus no marketing saves ikora

[raw glade]

GL and RL with autoloading dashes is really, really good. I'm going to be tempted to dump my months of savings.

[modest mortar]

auto loading dash just sold me

top tier features

[sharp talon]

clife posted a bilibili video above somewhere ill link you to it if i can find it

[raw glade]

I just know that butterfly hero is coming.....and with it, maybe my baby Le Monarque.....I need to be ready.

[pulsar coral]

My love for Jaren will never die

[gritty rune]

The most exciting thing this patch is kabr going standard

Time to T3 him

[thin valve]

.

[thin valve]

ty

[raw glade]

wait for Ikora to go standard, so it improves your chances of getting either of the two new heroes. I know you don't want Jolder or Tan

[gritty rune]

I’m using the boxes and crystals

[raw glade]

ah, gotcha.

[thin valve]

No way im using any exotic over my drill for a spread char

[raw glade]

I think drill will be the way to go, spamming Truth rockets sounds good in theory. But the ammo economy will be killer.

[pulsar coral]

I’m starting to think you play on Chinese servers 😂

[gritty rune]

It’s probably like jaren where octant synergises really well with him and TLW is kinda … ehh, but you just run out of ammo so fast

[raw glade]

and drill is just a lot better than TLW

[gritty rune]

Like even in a GM LC run I run into ammo issues spamming octant

[sharp talon]

in b4 2 hh and 1 jaren with octant in calamity 🤣

[gritty rune]

Yeah it’s CO, runs go by fast and you have 3 players

And HH makes ammo

[devout void]

Yes i have an account

[gritty rune]

But in solo content you just constantly run out of ammo on octant

[sharp talon]

octant i think is fine in expanse

[raw glade]

Everyone, pray that there's a stealth Prefect Buff that brings back stag gen. On top of the 50% damage boost.

[thin valve]

Hope this calamity will be jaren. Have not gotten a jaren calam for a while

and expanse

[gritty rune]

Maybe 21-30 but idk, anything that’s too long and octant runs out of ammo if you use it as your primary source of shooting

[gritty rune]

I really hope they give HH some love in CO

[sharp talon]

i think in the previous arc expanse 40 i was using niaantiks on jaren. i could not get close at all to the boss and had a lot of heavy ammo

would've been better to use octant volley i think

[raw glade]

how many new primary weapons are we getting with this update, if any?

[pulsar coral]

it will be piercing and spread, it follows the last two characters

[gritty rune]

In expanse 21-30 you barely shoot

Everything gets wiped by blazing shot

[sharp talon]

oh yeah 21-30 is not difficult

was talking about 40 for some reason lol

[raw glade]

the furies upgrade seems really strong. Maybe 4 star Kabr will be cooking more than 5 star lol

[sharp talon]

wondering if arbalest can one shot the void mobs, if so jaren w octant might be decent in calamity

[pulsar coral]

What are you running on Jaren this season for cal ops??

[sharp talon]

i think only option is parole (i think that's the void hc?) and octant

[pulsar coral]

That’s what I’m thinking too

[cyan tide]

None, they don't drop new weapons in act 2

[raw glade]

the crimson critical damage buff might be nice

I already enjoy crimson on Jaren

[pulsar coral]

Sounds fun to try a new build. I’ve been running the same weapons on him for 2 months lol

[sharp talon]

i really liked using niaantiks and swordbreaker to spice things up

swordbreaker has been my go to for a while now except in expanse

[gritty rune]

The HC with searing shot perk sounds really nice in theory on Jaren but bloody hell the recoil on it

[thin valve]

Exactly. She seems outdated for now

[cyan tide]

HH buffs when

[thin valve]

Well, one is void spread for sure. Second if pierc arc = helhest again, if pierc solar = jaren again

[pulsar coral]

you’d assume arc void

just like expanse will be

[raw glade]

It really seems like people are sleeping on how huge the 1.5x to 1.8x critical multiplier buff for crimson is. That's 20%...on a burst fire gun.

[sharp talon]

ikora expanse will be solar impact

[pulsar coral]

imagine

[thin valve]

My maru gonna shine

[thin valve]

Which ofc can be done with hh

[sharp talon]

truee

anyways, i will have to clear expanse with wolf until i make a decision on what to invest

[valid ether]

How is ikora going to beat Maru man I think not

[tight talon]

Not much

[valid ether]

Not sure if I will pull for this

[pulsar coral]

it’s free, you’ll pull

[tight talon]

It's catalyst literally gives third bullet on burst a damage bonus

[valid ether]

I mean rank her u-

[tight talon]

So gonna be mid

[sharp talon]

maru has no dash, ikora has 2. ikora instantly wins 🤣

[raw glade]

Nah, it adds up quickly. Because Jaren's entire kit revolves around crit multipliers. At T6, he already gets a ton of extra crit multiplier.

There's a lot more math involved than meets the eye.

[valid ether]

And yet her weapons suck

[sharp talon]

maru has to reload, ikora has auto reload and overflow ammo

[pulsar coral]

truth is probably busted, the bp weapon always is

[tight talon]

I like defining guns by general use cases. Something that's solely good for 0.01% people ain't good for all

[short locust]

No there really isn't. You said it yourself, it's a 20% buff. Just 1.2x what it is rn and you got it

[raw glade]

20% buff to the base mutiplier, times the multipliers you get from having extra talent levels.

[sharp talon]

trinity ghoul?

[gritty rune]

For CO sure, but tbh I don’t find CO fun and just settle in expert 1

[obtuse folio]

MY BODY IS READY

[pulsar coral]

don’t quote me lol, tg some buns but besides that and furries

[valid ether]

I am glad cordon. Is gone co 2.0

[gritty rune]

I don’t think TLW is exactly ‘busted’ either

[sharp talon]

tlw is good for stack economy

[gritty rune]

Busted BP weapons is just drill and Arbalest

[short locust]

That's how multiplication works. It's called the communative property lol still 20%

[pulsar coral]

last word is dope wdym

[sharp talon]

empty fort is decent but is bad for stacks

[tight talon]

Y'all are sleeping on Pulse that can deal Scorch or Damage over time. Even if we get No Time to Explain/Loose or whatever it's called it's gonna be a banger Estela pick by a long shot

[gritty rune]

It’s a mid gun that’s specifically good on Jaren cos he wants the fire rate

[short locust]

TLW is sweet if you can manage good uptime on both of its buffs

[raw glade]

It is. But 20% is extremely good on a rapid fire gun for Jaren.

[obtuse folio]

is the last catalyst still bugged for last word?

[raw glade]

It'll build stag quickly and output more all around.

[pulsar coral]

too early to be debating guns im out lol

[short locust]

Yeah 20% is dope. Ijs it's nothing complex is all

[raw glade]

It might be the meta for him.

[gritty rune]

I mean, you’d do similar damage with mythic HCs as TLW

[gritty rune]

Can’t. Stag has a global CD

So only 1 of the shots gets stag

[raw glade]

It's still fast, right now. It's the only gun that generates on par with TLW

[gritty rune]

Meanwhile, it’ll just dump all his welling stacks so idk if it’s worth it

[raw glade]

the damage is what it needed.

Nothing will ever compare to what we had with Old Prefect for two weeks.

I'm hoping they break it again.

[sharp talon]

man i wish i tried old prefect back then lol

you make it sound so awesome

[raw glade]

It was extremely satisfying. Fastest stag gen and hit like a truck with Welling

[gritty rune]

Give Sunshot

[tight talon]

I told yah

[raw glade]

The thing is, that was an unintended effect. It broke with the update. So with them buffing the gun, it's entirely possible it could break again.

And it's also possible they just decide to put that back in.

[gritty rune]

But anyhow. I really wouldn’t say TLW is busted

[raw glade]

I hate TLW.

I wanted to like it. Feels like a wet noodle half the time

[short locust]

It really was. You could build stacks really quickly with shotgun swaps, but the Prefect blast was kinda pathetic

[gritty rune]

It’s basically made for Jaren, otherwise you may as well just use a mythic HCs and use a better exotic

[raw glade]

I'm just imaging this 50% buff with that old generation....

Man.

[pulsar coral]

usually bp weapons are made for the characters who they drop with, kind of how that works lol

[tight talon]

I mean Octant is pretty much Goat for him. No other weapon comes close considering he can just empty the whole thing with the damage bonus.

Except it's Arc so gonna be mid until we get Arc Impact

[gritty rune]

Drill and Arbalest were made for their characters but was just busted on everyone

[gritty rune]

He does, the issue is ammo economy

[rough sedge]

I may be crazy, but my fire rate on old prefect didn’t increase by 450 with the catalyst that said it would. Am I crazy?

[sharp talon]

isnt that on crimson? or am i misremembering it

[tight talon]

Yes yes you are.

Old Perfect they are increasing blast damage from 50 to 100%

[raw glade]

It's funny that they're basically admitting Jaren's primaries kind of suck with these buffs to crimson and prefect.

[gritty rune]

I don’t think that matters much outside of expanse 40.

21-30 is a joke and in CO HHs running with Arbalest just one shots every shield

[short locust]

I mean, 2x almost 0 is still close to 0. I don't think the Prefect change will do much of anything. If it triggered the blast on landing all pellets, THAT would be interesting

[rough sedge]

Sorry I meant crimson. Crimson fire rate didn’t seem to increase

[raw glade]

Maybe there's more baked into this buff than meets the eye.

[tight talon]

It increases on hitting something, if i remember correctly

[rough sedge]

Ah, so my accuracy is junk, that’s all lol

[raw glade]

You know what would be dope....if they scrapped Void/Solar/Arc increase on artifacts, and just bundled it into Elemental Damage increase.

Would make buildcrafting so much more satisfying

[short locust]

Been saying this since launch

[raw glade]

It almost decentivizes using certain guns, it's lame

[short locust]

Why you can get void on an arc artifact baffles me

[raw glade]

And honestly, they need to do stuff like that now. The game is dying.

They have to win players over through any means necessary.

[sharp talon]

it can make sense if a good weapon you need is void. (i'm not sure if that exists though) like having solar boost on an arc artifact for arbalest

[raw glade]

so who here has decided to go all in on Ikora

[rough sedge]

Nope

[zenith ridge]

Is she out already is game live

[raw glade]

soon

[sharp talon]

she seems good but im not gonna go all in 😂 im gonna save for hh

[rough sedge]

6 star HH incoming, lol

[raw glade]

I refuse. That's so boring. She's amazing but who the hell wants to go all in on a stale hero 🙁

there's enough Helhests out there

[zenith ridge]

I’ll get one copy of her for sure. I skipped void girl bazooka tank… maru

[tight talon]

Destiny Player's first gacha

[raw glade]

You are very, very mistaken....unfortunately.

[tight talon]

Not defending it, but that's there for whole reason to make you come back and farm again

[thin valve]

Me having a maru gives me a reason to not gaf about this Ikora

[tight talon]

Much as I'd like it gone as well

[raw glade]

I don't even know how much I spent on Treasure Cruise and Dokkan back in the day

[zenith ridge]

You wanna know something hilarious? I was almost gonna go all in on 4* ikora

[elder wing]

Soo weird devs skipping rapid for this looong

[rough sedge]

My take on rapid. Rapid shinka should have a band all the way around it, not a stupid circle that can turn away

[short locust]

Ppl complained about Ning so much they said ok

[raw glade]

Current rapid roster is strong. Wolf, Jolder, and Ning are all really good. And Jaren can go rapid with Crimson if you're into that sort of thing.

[eager gazelle]

Ikora what weapons?

[sharp talon]

lgl and rocket

ning deletes rapid fire shinkas and is fast af. i dont know what they can do with another rapid fire character

[zenith ridge]

Its a lose lose situation. If ikora suddenly powecreeps maru

[rough sedge]

I’ll get the new RL, but won’t use hard earned and paid pulls on superkora

[raw glade]

Maru is toast after this update, it seems

[celest sleet]

Anyone else wish they did shotty for the new ikora? Lore wise invective was ikoras specialty weapon when she was younger.

[raw glade]

No, shotties suck in this game. Unless it's invective with generating ammo.

[rotund raptor]

Would the normal ikora be enough tonget through the content

[raw glade]

I think Ikora with a sword would have been sick as hell.

[eager gazelle]

Not complaining for another maru season

[zenith ridge]

Watch rising pull a quick one and ikora’s suddenly on scout rifle and sword

[rough sedge]

Not really, I’d rather a lot of other things than a rocket

[rough sedge]

That’d be quite the shake up

[eager gazelle]

What time downtime ends

[raw glade]

any hero that will be able to use Gally one day has a good future outlook.

[rotund raptor]

3 pm but usually it ends earlier

[short locust]

I'm a certified Gjally hater

[celest sleet]

I feel like they dropped the ball on giving us truth. imo

[brave basin]

Bungie had to have said no

[raw glade]

I'm very curious to see what Ikora's light link ability is. That's always exciting for me, I actually really enjoy OP light links as they can be used on other heroes and could be huge buffs.

[cyan tide]

Said no to what?

[raw glade]

Jaren's light link was hella OP

[brave basin]

Gjally

[tight talon]

I played Rising first, then went back to D2. I feel Gally will be pointless cause enemy density is nowhere near D2 levels. But good for Munitions on teammate rockets

[brave basin]

And gave us truth instead

[tight talon]

Provided there's enough rocket users aside from Ikora

[raw glade]

clusters do crazy single target damage too.

[brave basin]

Just my guess

[cyan tide]

Why would they say no? Gjally is solar, it wouldn't make sense to release it for a void character

[brave basin]

As shown with the exotic lgl

Great weapon

[raw glade]

just ask atheon about that single target damage.

[finite gazelle]

Arby(solar) came with 5* kabr(arc)

[celest sleet]

Mythic kabr and arbalest?? Lol

[cyan tide]

Arby is solar in name only, it's good against all elements

[brave basin]

Arby is more than solar, even though it has the emblem

[finite gazelle]

Ok but the point still stands

It's not like they can't

[brave basin]

Kabr has the shield that adds the arc damage. Good pair up

[cyan tide]

It doesn't because Arby is a generalist weapon

[raw glade]

it's always fun when these new updates launch and the discord is active.

this game is fun once per month

[tight talon]

For 6 days

And when maintenance is active

[brave basin]

Ugh, and s3 is extra long

[gentle hinge]

game goes end of service after s4 trust

[dusty spire]

Maru could never be toast

[brave basin]

That nuke super from ikora looks fun

[raw glade]

I don't think so. I think there's more to this than $, because Sony is heavily involved with the IP.

[brave basin]

The ball laser thing alittle weird

[raw glade]

It's bad PR if a destiny game fails.

[gentle hinge]

yes and no

[short locust]

Deathbringer would've been a cooler rocket tbh

But they used it's gimmick for her super

[tight talon]

Unfortunately. She's probably cooked. Ikora 's only wager us she can overfill the worst weapons and blink to cover distances

[cyan tide]

True but I think they chose Truth because it has tripod and that synergizes well with Ikora's kit

[dusty spire]

Honestly I don’t work of theory lol

She’s fine

[short locust]

For sure

[dusty spire]

Trust me

[tight talon]

that's no theory

[raw glade]

Ikora being able to speed run is going to completely alter the meta. We've never had anyone that can get ahead of the pack and demolish spread shinkas.

[brave basin]

Need more options for lgls

[tight talon]

The game rewards movement

[dusty spire]

Ok 👍🏾

[brave basin]

Failed to give us any in bulwark and crota

[dusty spire]

Theory

[sharp talon]

wolf can kind of do that. and jaren ofc

[cyan tide]

Saying she's able to speedrun is a bit of a reach, her blink has a 15s cd

[tight talon]

yikes

[minor holly]

Imagine the rework the jump to be blink as well

[raw glade]

that's true actually, you're right. But do we know her talents?

[tight talon]

Nvm then

[raw glade]

I assume a talent will give her an extra charge.

[brave basin]

Came out in China 8hrs ago

[cyan tide]

Nothing that boosts her blink afaik, not even a second charge

[raw glade]

oh wow.

[tight talon]

rip indeed

[raw glade]

and no CD reduction either?

[sharp talon]

a vid i watched has ikora having multiple dashes

[cyan tide]

She gets 3 free blinks once she gets full stacks but you kinda want to save that for dps

[pulsar coral]

Johnnyhottakes lol

[brave basin]

She's not a runner, helps her keep up. My thoughts is Ning comes back for calamity. And Ning is part of the reason they didn't go void rapid-fire

[raw glade]

If they made Ning's clone ability reload his weapons...maybe I'd actually be excited to play him again. It feels clunky now after playing Jaren

[golden spade]

Wow. This time is crazy good. Gg

[sharp talon]

i played ning earlier and i tried to reload his weapons with his clones 😭

[raw glade]

Yep, it sucks.

[short locust]

I mean you get the fast reload buff

[raw glade]

they need to add a T7 that does that.

hell, i'm ready for T7's. Bring them on!

[urban tendon]

still maintenance ?

[celest sleet]

T7 is crazy when we haven't even seen a cycle yet lol

[sharp talon]

i think it should end in like 20-30 minutes based on previous maintenances

they've been quick because they did chinese server first

[brave basin]

T7, new level of artifacts, weapon levels and so on to give the grinders more to go after

[short locust]

Imagine spending for T7 just to EoS right after lmaoo you'd have it coming

[raw glade]

And at the very least, T7's for 4 star units. That wouldn't be very controversial.

[tight talon]

Doesn't seem to work on Mahamayuri for me. It does for SMGs

Pretty weird if you ask me

[short locust]

Bro really is jhonnyhottakes

[tight talon]

[raw glade]

come on, it's boring when 4 stars hit t6. It's so easy after a few months.

[short locust]

Never thought I'd see ppl want more gatcha

[brave basin]

Required name change

More gacha to keep the money flowing and the game alive

[sharp talon]

i would rather have more fortuna crystals than a t7 4 star

[dusty spire]

Waiting on the new hero pool re up

[brave basin]

Whales are going to whale

[short locust]

Real

[raw glade]

imagine if they introduced a baller t7 for your favorite 4 star that needs a little extra juice

[tight talon]

+1

[raw glade]

Umeko

Imagine Umeko getting a T7 that makes her grow wings and you can snipe from the sky.

[short locust]

I'm not investing in any 4* because their kits are purposefully defective lol

[tight talon]

She's getting outclassed the moment someone increases damage dealt to 45%

[sharp talon]

izangi is getting a buff this patch as well right?

[tight talon]

Or close to 35% for T0 and 45% for T6

[raw glade]

Imagine Kabr getting a T7 that allows him to use a scout rifle

[celest sleet]

I feel like having one more gatcha would help this game tremendously. Have a new character/rework mythic and a returning character would bring in more money as well.

[tight talon]

Just for its normal fire ammo returniirc

And honed edge %

[raw glade]

I thinka 4 star only gacha with a more available, grindable currency would be actually amazing.

[dusty spire]

It’s coming we are just going through a filler period

Making use of S1-S3 planned digital assets.

[versed scroll]

Panoramic view, that's my point of view.

[raw glade]

Imagine an update where they add a new, uncapped currency grind for a 4 star gacha. And it revolves around new activities they add to the maps. Like 10 new public events.

[dusty spire]

If you’ve been upgrading the general collection pool especially weapon you can feel that we are coming to an expansion

[celest sleet]

That would be amazing

[dusty spire]

The idea is not to expand to much digital assets out quickly beyond the general service progression loop

Drip feeding

[raw glade]

It would add a ton of flavor to the game and give it some MMO spice. And something to do out in the world. Patrols used to be fun in Destiny.

[dusty spire]

Micro managing digital assets

[raw glade]

I have fun memories of heroic patrols back in the forsaken era

[sharp talon]

isnt there a new public event or something this update? i think i recall reading something like that. and more collectibles (which im excited for)

[raw glade]

some kind of beast thing?

[celest sleet]

I definitely like there are dry spells in between content/updates. Just want whats best for this community. For it to strive and continue.

[dusty spire]

Unless everyone is capped out on the current collection I wouldn’t worry about dry spells right now

[raw glade]

I always say, this game is close to being what it needs to be. It just needs a few more actually developed game modes to be a complete package. And reworked PVP.

[sharp talon]

we are getting a pvp event with a lot of gamemodes in early march

[raw glade]

PVP needs to be 24/7 with a loot chase. Like the old Luna's Howl grind.

[celest sleet]

Hawkmoon?

[raw glade]

that would be the perfect chase weapon

[fallow bison]

It just couldn’t be tied to one single character. Not sure what the chase weapon or chase “thing” could be, but that would be great

[celest sleet]

I really want bad juju for estela!

[raw glade]

It would be one new weapon each season. Everyone will get their turn.

[foggy hemlock]

servers up

[sharp talon]

i think i read it was something like a leaderboard/ranked system. the first iron games or whatever, so it might be a permanent cycle thing hopefully

[wheat ferry]

Ew pity didn't carry over

[amber quarry]

Hey all

Are servers back ?

[foggy hemlock]

yeah

[raw glade]

oh wow, punishing people who pulled but didn't go all the way.....that's bad business.

[hoary bear]

Pity got reset? Wtf

[raw glade]

Can you check if the pity somehow counted towards the permanent banner?

[sharp talon]

they did mention that pity would be separate in the patch notes i believe

[dusty spire]

In, see yall around

[amber quarry]

Good luck with pulls everyone

Hope everyone gets early

[short locust]

[obtuse folio]

SERVERS LIVE

[thin valve]

Okay lets go. Gonna spend 120 draws on her

[zenith ridge]

LETS GOO

[rotund raptor]

Got my kabbrs pulls lol

[sharp talon]

oh wait wow

ikora can have 3 charges of dash

it can recharge up to 3

trying her out in trial, she's really good

[elder wing]

Is like I said. It won’t

[sharp talon]

i am really tempted to use leaves right now 😭

[elder wing]

Why tempted? Just pull bruh

[thin valve]

they finally added to max relic abilities with 1 button

[pulsar coral]

Let’s gooo!!

[rotund raptor]

https://tenor.com/view/pull-a-week-away-tug-of-war-pull-hard-netflix-gif-20583373

[sharp talon]

her t1 seems good as well

[rotund raptor]

Im thinking of using around 3.6 k leaves and her boats hopfully ill get to T1 or 2

Like i did on kabbr

[sharp talon]

i think i will use leaves to pull her once and use the free pulls to get her to t1

[rotund raptor]

U can get t1 with leaves u never know lol

[thin valve]

🔥🔥🔥

Only thing i needed

I always end up like this

[low shell]

Oh nice the server is up

[sharp talon]

wait did you actually use 120 pull son her?

[empty kettle]

That was fast

[thin valve]

Shes t5 now

[sharp talon]

what in 120 pulls you got to her to t5??

[thin valve]

I dont have patience to keep them pulls lol

[sharp talon]

Wtf

[thin valve]

Hell nah

I got her 2 times from 120 pulls

My luck is not that good lol

I had leaves

[sharp talon]

ah ok lmaoo

[thin valve]

But i dont think imma spend more

Cus i will also get free boats on her

[sharp talon]

yes u have her at t6 basically

[thin valve]

Gonna wait a bit and then t6

Now i need an artifacts build to spend my arti choices

[sharp talon]

she has 3 dashes at t0 kinda crazy

[rotund raptor]

Is it better to pull 1 by 1 or 10 by 10

Or it doesnt matter

[thin valve]

10 by 10 cus its satisfying

[sharp talon]

with the free charms u should do 1 by 1 if you want to save the remaining charms to turn into blue

[rotund raptor]

Just did 20 pulls and nothing

[thin valve]

I pitied 2 copies mate

I guess i lost all my luck when gwynn was up

[rotund raptor]

Imma use 10 of her boats now

[thin valve]

I got 2 copies in like 10 draws

[sharp talon]

did you trial her before drawing that much lol?

[storm mural]

see yall next season

[thin valve]

bro i thought i was gonna be first

[storm mural]

bro al;ready 16 other maxed acclaim

idk how

[thin valve]

Yea

Idk how she really performs i just could not wait anymore

Gonna find artis now and then test her

[craggy oyster]

Dude why does this Ikora have the same wep arch’s as the other one….

[thin valve]

Also gotta choose which secondary im gonna run

[lunar veldt]

Anyone else lose all there pink ships for draws?

[thin valve]

Also got 6 crota weapon skins from engrams lol

[pulsar coral]

I think drill would be good

[thin valve]

Yea drill ofc and idk about second one

Im not into spread chars so im gonna figure out

[raw glade]

This T6 looks uber tier

[thin valve]

Cus u cant use maru’s GR on her

[storm mural]

the primary?

[tight talon]

Cya

[storm mural]

:3

[thin valve]

whats ur secondary perks

[storm mural]

i never farmed a good rocket cause i never used ikora lmao

[thin valve]

same lmao

[elder wing]

The only question is. If the Truth is worth maxing out or go for the drill

[storm mural]

cats seem ight nothing crazy

[empty kettle]

Resolute charms get converted into blue boats

[sharp talon]

i dont think its been out long enough to know

[storm mural]

legit cat 2 and 3 are the same thing just incrases on 3

[tight talon]

Likely TTF. I need to login to confirm

[tight talon]

Or Drill, it's pretty cool since we don't have Void LGL

[pulsar coral]

the music they have playing while doing the new front line events groovy af

[thin valve]

ig thats it

[tight talon]

Cya next season

[raw glade]

Idk if I'd wanna go for Ikora without that T6

helps her build stacks so much...

[thin valve]

She feels like i can outdamage anyone lmao

[raw glade]

It's crazy that it doubles the volatile energy produced by that stellar ability

[mossy holly]

Crumbs I dont have the exotic GL

[agile spindle]

is she better than Maru

[sharp talon]

she has three dashes at t0, i feel like she is

[storm mural]

and dashes reload weapon

[wheat ferry]

New artifacts seem mid

[sharp talon]

i didnt build maru what was her best artifacts

[thin valve]

U can fire her heavy 6 times in like under 10 seconds

Even less

[verbal sluice]

how is ikora compared to HH?

[sharp talon]

not comparable XD

[raw glade]

older overshield artifacts seem perfect for her

[proven stratus]

q9DX6Dd6

[raw glade]

she has some of the easiest overshield gen in the game

courage seems like an easy choice
