How do I get the slayers fang catalysts?
rng at the end of kells fall
Ah. Probably should've done those quests when Revenant was around lol
do master raids give more spoils
i wanna ask something and its about the around the sun triumph, is it farmable like do the modifications randomize every run or is it daily locked
whats the pvp godroll on hawkmoon
It’s way easier now
opening shot, hammerforged and i think smooth grip
ah fair enough
is there a way to 100 percent check
no
there are spreadsheets but those are mostly pve focused
dang
pvp is much more specific/preference/playstyle based
your godroll may be very different from another persons
are frostees good?
https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/17267500221348652540/C8C7EBC6F471F6DFD13096FD969899B3F48831EC/ can anyone help me with that plsss
theyre alright in pvp
on hunter?
yeah
what does "cross play required" means in trials of osiris?
Is the lighthouse rewards once per character or per account now?
Account
Damn
Is flachette titan still good or should I go for a different build?
You gotta turn crossplay on
They dont allow you to play with your platform specifically
Still good. Just not op
irs pretty solid
i didnt know it was an option, how do i turn it on/off?
exotic armor dont drop in tiers do they ?
Is there a specific 'powerful combatant' i should farm to get the catalyst for Leviathans Breath?
Or more like, what does the game view as a powerful combatant in terms of counting it for the catalyst?
Equivalent to t2
majors or higher. easiest to do by spawn killing the rune puzzle knights on the moon
So anything that isn't the random fodder with the default red health bar?
any way to increase holofoil drops or just pray?
elites/orange bars don't count too
Ah
nope
:(
Where do i go for that rune puzzle?
it's random little caves scattered around the moon
YouTube it
if you see rune symbols inside, shoot the wrong one
spawns a knight, kill and repeat
how can I make the enemy in the shooting range have infinite hp?
Spawn a boss in
In settings under gameplay, at the bottom. Sorry for late reply

is 19k damage per super good for an arc titan cuirass build?
what's your super stat at?
is dynamo description still true or will it proc if im not near targets ?
silly question but im curious
that's good and could throw on font mods if you want more damage
anyone know if using the loretz driver in private matches work to progress the guardian kill tracker?
I didn’t test with em but I have em on
yes
Just need rewind rounds on my outbreak then I’m set
you're good then
Speaking of rewind rounds, is the outbreak switch quest solo able?
Because my friends are terrible at parkour and I’m at wits end after trying 10 times
good to know, just gotta find a buddy to complete it with
people have done it solo
I wouldn't say it's easy tho
is the solstice scorched randomized or is it gonna be all rift today? (ik it can get TDM or control)
i believe its random every game but i dont know for sure
is there an overview for decent pvp weapons and how does trials of osiris work, can you complete it as a solo player
not much i can give you for the first thing but it’s basically just a 3v3 gamemode
trials has matchmaking so you can solo queue
getting 7 wins on a lighthouse passage will allow you to go to the lighthouse and claim a bunch of rewards
higher win streaks = more rewards
you can check trials.report for the most popular trials weapons and exotics
Which seems to be better or more useful, HC or AP rounds?
I’m a returning player after lightfall. Should I be worrying about the good loot yet?
just get caught up and get your power level up for now
thanks
Alright
think i should be settled with these rolls
like
should i start farming armor now or continue looking
Can you not get Yeartide Apex from like solo ops and stuff? I thought u could
you can
if it's solstice focus activity
also only on B or higher rewards (i think)
on the featured activities of the day
and solstice scorched
any of these armor for titan are good?
i see i see
ashen wake, don't bother getting cadmus
solar
yeah pretty alright, fun to use as well
what should i be doing next
Can you still get the phoneutria Fera?
Not currently no
Do we know when it's coming back?
possibly next arms week
can someone tell me what the solstice solo op is today?
c a l d e r a
How do I /join someone on Xbox
ingame text chat
do /join (bungie name) (# four numbers)
Trying to unlock mask of fealty exotic and I have an exotic cypher but it says I have to “unlock in collections” to purchase. What does that mean?
Navigate to the next page
Ok then what?
Buy Mask of Fealty
There’s no option
Screenshot what you see
Did stats get reworked? What happened to resilience discipline recovery and all that?
yes
Next Page, like I said
they were converted into health and class
I’m an idiot. Thank you
There's an infographic in this channel's pins that breaks down how stats got mapped (mostly important as an explanation for how your old drops work now) and what the stats do.
anyone able to tell me what armor set ada 1 is selling rn
Is caldera dropping solstice engrams? Is it vex or fallen?
@sudden egret what? Like 2 %
vex
what was the orginal question?
It's not a full set. It's 3 Forsaken pieces (scorn-based chest, a forsaken helm, memory of cayde class item, 2 other class items). BTW, you can check vendor stocks in DIM (which is also pretty solid on mobile)
we dont
There's no current way to acquire new ones. If you earned some in previous season passes you can still claim them.

you are at the mercy of rng
I was tryna red boarder a season of the plunder weapon, darn
What’s the weekly farmable raid? I don’t see it in infographics
Featured raids/dungeons aren't a thing anymore
theyre all farmable, but not for exotics
So is everything farmable now?
They're infinitely farmable for legendaries. Unclear/uncofirmed still whether they're farmable for the exotics.
Alright
they appear not to be for exotics
What about gm nfs?
Do we actually have proof for that now? The last time I asked iirc the reason given was that they weren't featured (which doesn't mean anything)
Also no longer a thing. NF rotates daily now and there aren't new NF weapons anymore. Running NFs will give old NF weapons on a knockout system.
Alright
pinnacles are rng at 400+
so it might
solo ops are faster
and drop the same amount of stuff as fireteam ops
past 400, not at all
pretty much
if youre fast on pinnacle
Does DoE count as a portal activity? I don't think so but i thought I'll ask anyways lol
does not
what is the drop rate on a holo foil apex
;rng
Why is X not dropping?
It's RNG. No, the game is not bugged for you, or broken, it's simply bad luck.
- Bungie does not publish drop rates.
- We don't know how many estimated runs it will take for a specific item to drop.
- We do not know how much drop-rate-boosting triumphs contribute either, since we don't know the base drop rate.
- Runs are all separate environments. A 1/3 chance does not mean you get the loot you want one out of three times, it just means there is that percentage of chance whenever you run the activity that you get said loot.
- Perks are not weighted. All weapons drop with their perks at the same rate.
Damn
any of xur weapons any good
what solar machine guns do we have?
unwavering duty, fixed odss, avalanche for legendaries
Xenophage and Heir Apparent for exotics
However Xenophage doesn't behave LMG-ish
as far as i know
its more like the strongest scout rifle you've ever seen
thunderlord
with super explosive payload
also makes cool noise
(i dont have it)
Where do i get those btw
Trials, Duality, Dawning (therefore unavailable)
Thx
Wait since when does Liminality have hive lightbearers-
always
how do you like
eager edge jump
i do it but i barley get as much jump
do i swap off fast?
or jump before
what do i do with the alloys once i bought the 5 event armor + the other thing
Does somg of flames melee and grenade dmg get boosted if i havr 100+ melee and grenade or only super?
Do it again on alts
so the extras r js useless?
They're just for the armor and the glows
does blast distributor stay active when i swap out of the gun?
damn i thought i could get more
Do the alloys carry over to other characters?
Like, if i collect them on my titan, can i use them on my hunter and warlock too?
Yes
Nice
There used to be a little network of achievements to unlock weekly in the gambit / crucible etc. Has that gone now?
yes, the ritual pathfinder is no more
Who has the best solor builds out of the 3 classes? I wanna be able to use this smg alongside the armor set
all 3 have solid solar builds
Who would be the best?
which do you like the best?
jump, pull out sword, swing, put away sword, and hold jump button
I have all 3 classes I just want to know so I can farm on that character
how fast are people doing vex caldera on titan?
my fastest time was like 4:15 with good rng
bonk titan
and im not a speedrunner by any means
Do these challenges count for this trophy?
Would bonk titan still work if I don’t have access to the new glove armor piece that lets me recall my hammer like thor?
that trophy is bugged currently
what were you running? and were you just running straight through it wihtout doing the prior objective? (20 prec kills, 60 kills, etc)
wishful ignorance and it was a 15 ability kills objective
it worked for years before edge of fate
if i get precision kills or a bunch of weapon kills i just reset
Yes. It has always worked even before those gauntlets even existed
good roll
dont use burning ambition though
Worth min maxing or not really?
use incandescent
Ok
How do trials drops work now?
they drop from games and the lighthouse
Like im 315ish light and got a 7 win and im gr7
But can I get tier 5
Or is that RNG
rng i believe
Kk
i think at that winstreak you can get tier 4s though
you gone lighthouse yet?
or just got the wins
Is this roll better or worst?
Going now
anything good from xur?
not particularly
if you dont have a promary slot glaive, hes got rake angle
the rolls pretty shite
rimestealer swash
its the best glaive in the game
and very good if you know what ur doing
then it is mine
This is done with only 160 in grenade stat
20 likes for the build
Cheers ~ Draft
What weapon makes a tangle?
if you mean the grapple point, thats the navigator
specifically with its catalyst
Thanks king
big ups to the random super projectile that gets completely lost and misses 🔥
Can you get the slammer sword by laying nightfall atm?
no
yes
Why did bungie make a new game just to nerf warlocks?
Worm god or synthesis for bonk titan?
wormgods is higher damage but harder to keep up
theyre kind of giga buffing warlocks in the next update
so
¿
They had to make a new game just to take our crown 😔
was broken and incredibly unbalanced, from what i’ve been told
i played it once
not exactly a fun meta
crazy
Nah but it was fun
Especially when vog was out
You could push every boss off the map with grenades
nostalgia clouds your opinion
Definitely not
you can still do that
by the way
My gameplay is still the same without a res
The gatekeeper and templar too?
Cause in d1 you could push every boss off with lock super
gatekeepers yeah, templar no
but templar crumples like paper
so it doesnt really matter
Yuh
It was just nice for clutching sht up
You could also take on more as a self res
Like in prison
Or any boss fight with a debuff tbh
It was really a pvp crutch more than anything though
fun is when you push the boss off the map and can't die
you would like golf, you push the boss (ball) off the map (the green, into the hole) and can't die
I suck balls at golf

Ive never played a good hole 😭
I dont play many sports after i learned racing is one 😁
I saw someone suggest that Trials was apparently good for the 400-450 grind. Is that anywhere near true or?
anyone know how to get the old destiny 1 wolf emblem
its like super minimalist and red grey and white I think
ive heard trials stuff drops +1 a lot more often
Apparently you cant get it anymore cause its from dcv content THAT I PAID FOR FUCK MY CHUD LIFE
What is the best option for me to do to get it as of now? When will a fix come out
What’s the best way to get exotic ciphers right now??
Xenology
Thank you 🙏🏼
As always you DA BEST McGee
Does my bonk build look fine or should I change anything?
Can exotics have armor tiers too?
But they will eventually as they integrate them or update them long with raid gear correct??

Are swords buffed by weapon or melee stat?
Ohhh lol my bad 🥲
Weapon
whats the solo ops for tody
What's the point in the 2 trial of osiris modes like that's the difference
Can someone explain trials matchmaking?
How do i end up with literal bots for teammates while being paired against people who stack ontop each other
uh lfg or something 
I just wanna solo
it's random matchmaking till you get to the lighthouse
luck of the draw
Is this bugged because I can't get higher than 403 at all
it is
Anyone want to help me out with scorch and void mission on legendary? New here on pc
unless you grabbed the osiris passage
yeah, it just prioritizes connection speed
not a bug, you can only get pinnacle gear that raises your power after activity completions in the portal. It's a 1/20 chance of getting one, but there's a guaranteed pity after 30 completions without getting one
With pinnacle can I get that on any or only on pinnacle activities
any activities in the portal
Anything you can get A score or better on
Then I must be the most unluckiest mf
Nah, its bad dw
Ive only gotten 3 pinnacles since hitting 400
Defo done more than that yet you've seen I only got it once
You gone to zavala yet?
well it is a 1/20 chance.. less than a 5% chance until you hit the guaranteed pity
?
Have you also claimed your solstice gear on every character?
Fair enough
the non lighthouse passage has a skill based matchmaking system, that is basically just used to farm trials for loot as many times as you want. The lighthouse passage will get you access to the lighthouse witch has the most rewards but it depends on the highest win streak you get on the passage, and i believe there's no skill based matchmaking system in place for it
the "skill" is the winstreak 
Nvrmind I did claim from zavala this week
think it's deeper than that 😭 havent read too much up on it tho since im allergic to trials
lighthouse can get you t5s, the regular passage can not? i think
same rewards from matches
So t5s from both?
if you are max level, yeah
450?
yeah
farmers are starting to play the osiris passage instead now
they both have a chance to drop pinnacle, not sure if it's different rate
they should, it's skill based
Instead of some basement dweller clearing my whole team
And thats really not even my issue
I dont mind tougher opponents but i get teammates who think theyre playing a solo mode or rush every fight
Ima jus do one lighthouse run, not even solstice drops on trials today
anyone know why i wouldnt be able to get to the transcendant zen 3 catalyst? where you matterspark up and shoot the bud and drop down? the force field is there
and im on mythic
@ornate dew thats so annoying
whats incandescent ingot in solstice armor?
Gives it the glow
thanks. and it also works in ornaments?
There's two different versions of the armor for ornaments (at least if you've given it the glow), one with and one without
great
exotic requisition order (for ada) is per account right?
and are they gonna expire at any time?
It's 20 for the whole account (not 20 per class/char). They've given no indication of expiration but 🤷. The earliest I'd say would be likely for an expiration would be Renegades
Can I run the same master conquest twice for the guardian rank 8 challenge?
It will last for the whole year of prophecy
Can't do host a conquest you've completed but you can join someone else who hasn't hosted it
So just join someone on a different one to the one I’ve done?
You can only do conquests once iirc
As long as they are able to start it up themselves yes you can join them and do it with them
They can join someone who hasn't done it and get pulled in
ill need to do an expert conquest
They won't get loot again though and there's also no reason to replay them
can someone please tell me where i find that in shittyportal.exe?
Seasonal hub
Sure but i doubt anything of value will drop
ty
Chat what's the best place to farm eager edge
atm prob dares
nope
the only somewhat important thing 30th gives is the dungeon
Cool
wait, if all the solar and stasis mods are combined, I only need to run this right?
not this
i mean the stasis one
No because harmonic is tied to the super element
oh
Since you're running Stasis as your super already, you don't need the combo and harmonic, though.
so i only need harmonic?
Not if you want stasis and solar
The point is right now you have both mods
You don't need both mods
Just the combo
okay, nice
festival flight god roll?
one of the solstice modifiers i'm guessing
actually you don't seem to be in an activity 
is this a good artifact set up for a stasis main?
im on europa testing out my mods
I was told the class 100+ overwrites icefall mantle and doesn't stack, so im seeingwhats up with that
I get B while 16 power above, all I do is add a +20 modifier and I'm set
also does frigid glare work with agers scepter?
Only rng prime engrams boost power
So farm Caldera or K1 and get lucky
yeah it can crit, i don't think it changes anything though since ager's scepter already freezes nearby enemies on kill except maybe if frigid glare has bigger range
The Stag any good for PvE?
It felt really good to use as a Strandlock. Felt it did a good job of compensating for the subclasses innate lack of sustain or mitigation... and it felt incredibly safe in conjunction with Weavewalk.
If anything stag is a pvp exotic as it's functionality is very underwhelming in pve
Its weird.
I'd like to say Strandlock is a glasscannon, but its not even a cannon. Just glass. Offensively its far behind the other subs, from a control standpoint Weaver's Trance feels excellent for suspending tons of stuff... but defensively its legitimately the absolute worst subclass in the game no contest
Threadlings being bad is the problem. They need something
Buffing threadlings would help Strandlock signif more than it would the other 2 Strand subs, which are fine
You can spam a bunch of them as is (at least on prismatic) and they're also buffing Weavers Call and threadling damage
Im 362 rn should i be doing gm solo ops or keep doing master?
ty
Theyre going to be buffing Weaver's Call and Threadlings? Or they already did?
Next update
The prob is you can generate a ton of them but they dont have any verbs, do fk all vs flyers, and their tracking is ass
When are solstice tier 5s guaranteed, I’m 400 gr 9 and didn’t get it
I thought someone said it was supposed to always drop at that point
Use swarmers with them then
They unravel on hit
So does your ranged melee with 3 charges
Felt like Swarmers was only useful if running Weavewalk, because youre using melee to generate threadlings/defense instead of to unravel
They are with A score
Otherwise, all Swarmers does is allow Tangles to produce a threadling. Which is kinda lol given the 12 sec CD on Tangles
If Swarmers spread Sever instead of Unravel itd be a decent exotic, Strandlock already has no issue spreading Unravel and needs all the help it can get on the defensive side of things. Or gave Woven Mail. Thatd be preferable.
Maybe give it some sort of mechanic like "Gives 10 secs of Woven Mail for every 5 threadlings you produce"
Get a b+ with objective
Does the B+ have to be past the midway mark
On the bar
Or can it just be a low end B+
Does anyone know if u can lower the tier of the solo solstice missions? I was getting 25 a run, then the timer changed and now I’m getting 15
Really? I only need a few modifiers to get it to 440 to get A score
How much non-seasonal gear are you using?
Anyone know?
I bet youre running more seasonal gear than he is
Oh right I totally forgot that was a factor
did your power level increase?
Yeah @steel sundial
That matters? ☹️
Yeah its kinda ass that it is.
"You get to keep your gear from season to season! You just gotta grind for power again!!!"
Nah, you gotta replace all your gear every season because wearing the season's gear is the end-all-be-all of scoring
I use Monte Carlo 🤤
Ugh I hope they change that shit before Renegades
thats why
So if I lower my light, it will go back to normal?
you need to up the difficulty or add more modifiers
no, you can’t go back
How much above does it need to be to get extra time?
you dont get extra time
that is just the way it is now that youve reached that power threshold
Dam
At least have all your armor being new gear
your time allotted to get that speed bonus is smaller now
Some old exotics have the same bonus, like graviton lance I think
So how much light above do I need to the mission to be to get 25?
If its not from the current season its trash
you need to get A rewards
so whatever gets you there
Thx
to be fair, by grinding for power you will be getting new gear anyway, so it really isnt that much of an issue
you’re acting like you have to grind power and armor separately, which isnt true
plus, new seasons = new and possibly better armor archetypes that you might want to go after
For armor its fine.
For weapons its ass.
For exotics its ass.
exotics have the featured system which the only flaw is that the class items arent featured
I got my 7 wins on my Trials card-- do I sget to go to the lighthouse? If so, how? I can't seem to find the way. New trials player BTW
having featured exotics is actually a fun way to keep the meta from going stale
are you on a trials of osiris or lighthouse passage?
Because Swarmers being usable/on season would be meta breaking
not meta breaking
How much bd gives the quests?
meta defining, since using new gear gives you that hoost
when its less dificult it gives less?
bd?
bright dust
its the same amount
Oh
its just a reward for finishing the quest
ohh thanks!
you just get it done faster at higher difficulties
Trials of osiris passage
you can only go to the lighthouse on a lighthouse passage
They ripped the season reset system from games like Path of Exile, which I love, and implemented it poorly.
Was p sure the season artifact was meant to help with the stagnation problem and it does a fine job of it, everything else is redundant and actually hampers build diversity
I got A and still got 15
Rewards for hitting 7 wins even on the basic passage is pretty pathetic tbh then
Cheers tho!
yeah the basic passage is just for gameplay practice
do the ghost armor mods work?
it doesnt give any rewards for win streajs
it feels like they don't but just wanted to be sure
they are broken, yes
-> Wants to play Strandlock
-> None of the strand exotic weapons are on season, Swarmers is nonseasonal
-> Uninstalls rather than being pideonholed into yet another prismatic/solar build
i think its just because this season’s picks sre really shite
Threadlings and weavewaalk is getting a massive buff soon.
that isnt the point here
the point is that none of the strand exotics are featurd
which is an issue i agree
Do any of the new stats buff summons?
the issue with the featured system is that the picks are bad, not with the system itself
grenade buffs bleak watcher damage which isnt very significant because it does barely any damage to begin with
that is the only one though
Of course it is
Right, so even if they buff the hell out of strand its p much unplayable because none of the exotics are featured.
It's better than nothing
not at all
Only an issue if you care about the buffs that seasonal items give, which Bungie has definitely incentivized, but nothing is really pushing you to not play the builds you want.
you can still run strand you just miss out on .5% reward multiplier
and the ability to use it in avant garde content which you literally only have one activity with
Nah, because the best heavies by far are non-seasonal.
So you have a non-seasonal heavy, exotic weapon, and exotic armor
what heavies exactly
we have the eager sword coming with next arms week
and outrageous fortune if you need dps
plus mint retrograde out damages a lot of heavies anyway
In general? Hezen.
If you want strand specific for some reason? Cynosure. Wicked Sister.
Safe, general use pick? Thunderlord.
This is what the average strandlock experience is
hezen has been outclassed by fortune
dont know why you’d want strand since you caj pick your own activity surges now
microcosm is featured
Queen breaker is featured and is arguably one of the best out there but not for general DPS most of the time
and this person’s score threshold is so high because they have NO new gear on (presumably)
if they had all but one, it wouldnt be nearly as high
The seasonal system pideonholing ppl into a specific handful is hot garbage
i run gm difficulty eith ashen wake and the class items and still get A rewards with minimal modifiers
you just need to play around it
Anyone know why I’m gaining 15 instead of 25 of the solstice materials in solo?
Theres legit hundreds/thousands of weapons/exotics in the game.
Stupid you get penalized for not running the new stuff
If I am 400 power.. doing caldera.. what tier will be solstice be if i do b+?
if you do the bonus objective and complete in time, tier 5
"Yo dawg, check out all the builds you can make in this game.
You cant use 95% of them tho without being penalized"
its just powercreep but as a mechanic
the penalty for not using 2 pieces of new gear is incredibly minor
exotic weapon and armor respectively
new armor stats are just better so theres literally no reason to run them
and unless you have an extremely niche build, legendaries this season are also just better anyway
you can mix and match exotic armor ajd weapons and builds with very little penalty unless you are playing the conquests, which makes sense since they drop endgame loot and thusly have strict requirements to get said loot
Anyone know?
i think its rng
Gg. Cuz I’m getting the A rating
based on your actual score, not your eeward tier
so the number when you finish, not A or B
Dam
Yeah the legendary armor is a non-factor in my complaint.
My big issue is yeah, non-seasonal exotics are a thing. But as you stated, if those are your only 2 non-seasonal picks then the penalty is trivial. Your build just isnt playable in some content due to stuff like conquest/avant.
My big issue is with stuff like Strandlock. I'm rewarded for using strand weapons. Strand kills give me threadlings due to Weaver's call. Festival Flight is awesome and has amazing synergy with Weavewalk. Mint Retrograde is awesome. Next season, they won't be considered seasonal anymore. And who knows when they'll make a new strand area denial GL
in six months they wont be seasonal anymore
Thats my point
most of the boost comes from the seasonal armor anyway
especially since theyll be releasing great new heavy weapons every season
Before this season, I ran The Call. It wasnt until this season that there were legendary Weapons worth considering over it imo
In the kinetic slot
exactly what you’ll do next season
you’ll run mint until something better comes out
i still run tinashas
and slammer
i get A grade with minimal effort
as long as you have at least 4-5 pieces of new gear, you’re set
So uh, when I hit 450 light, and on a day where mint retrograde is farmable in pinnacle ops, will mint retrogrades drop at tier 5? Assuming in 450 light
it has a higher chance of dropping tier 5
not guaranteed
but it can
Yeah I think it'll be AGES before they replace Festival Flight
For strandlock specifically
Thats just so good
Or they keep putting avant guard in endgame shit…. Like raids GM conquests etc
Avant guard being in endgame every season will cause players to leave the game.
that’s fine, you can keep running it next season anyway
the weapons are pretty mix n match
Agree 1000%
conquests i am okay with having avant garde because they are the way to get the highest tier loot early
if you want that you’re gonna have to play by the rules
The rules are ass tbh
just like you had to create specific builds to excel in gm nightfalls, you’ll have to do the same for conquests
Avant guard entails we won’t be able to use any and all armors no matter the tier, in the applicable activity.
Which means armor now that we grind light for, will not be usable next season in the applicable activities…..
I cannot fathom starting the armor grind (and by extension light grind) ALL over again from scratch again.
i agree that avant garde should stay as an optional modifier for everything other than the conquests
as it is right now
you’re already going to have to do that
? Early? Bro you have to be 390 for the first GM, and the second one clocks in at 460 light. You have to grind ALOT to even get to TRY the second GM out of the 6 lmao
Avant Garde basically pideon holes ppl into running the same builds
(not from scratch you start at 200)
yes, 390, a level where you cannot get guaranteed tier 5 weapons, which the conquests give you on light
Yeah but atleast in old GMs, we could ATTEMPT them. Here we can’t even launch the damn thing unless we are hella high light
your problem is high difficulty activities being light locked?
Avant locks you into certain exotics.
Of those exotics, there might be a couple that are viable endgame. And then everyone runs the same couple builds until the season is over
i’ve just gone flawless and i got 3 things of armour is it bugged again or is the lh chest just barely giving anything
Yea, avant guard means the gear we grind now. Will not even be equipable next season for activities that have that modifier.
people only run those in the avant garde stuff then they go back to using what they want
The power level grind is fine.
Its the fact that exotics are affected by avant that is trash
Idk man the grind to 400 light is…. Fine. So I could see the arguement that the first GM is a non issue. But the one that come after 💀
The issue is 400-450…. Ifs frickin rough out here boys
its as simple as this, you want the best of the best loot? you will have to work for it
This too yea
thats just how it has always been
I don't mind grinding if I am allowed to use the builds that I enjoy using.
leveling past 410 is also entirely pointless
in 99% of content, you are
And I understand that. But like what’s the point if we can only ever use it in 1 season
you can, in 99% of content
99 is a stretch.
6 glorified strikes vs the entirety of destiny 2
looks to be about that margin to me
Let the gameplay loop carry the replay value... not some trash system that locks you into specific builds.
Make me switch builds because the content is too difficult, not because "ahh that exotic isnt usable this season"
thats exactly how it is
Nah, avant exists
youre acting like you play with avant garde on in every activity
It’s like saying you can run whatever u want in what used to be the regular strikes playlist, but in shit where you can’t sleepwalk, you have to use VERY specific stuff.
So much for ‘playing the way you want’ Bungie
that is literally how it has always been
using off meta builds in harder content has always had detriments
The perfect compromise....
Make exotics exempt from AG
I had mentioned multiple times before alr, in the applicable* playlists. Avant guard, of which let’s face it is exclusively endgame content
it is im exclusively 6 strikes
that you play once each
per account, by the way
not per character
Now youre downplaying how often it shows up
give me one other pve activity that has avant garde
whats the max stat from focusing exotic armor?
No. That’s never how it’s been lmao. Like ever.
In GMs prior to the season, he’ll across the entire game you could use whatever you want, and have a very solid chance at clearing a GM.
Now you can’t even launch it without using gear the game demands you use. Or being highlight.
If you have friends to game with you can pick and choose what mode you want to play and customize the modifiers, you are correct.
But I ran into AG numerous times when grinding the playlists this season
Strictly speaking in context of avant guard modifier playlists
and just like that, you can run whatever you want in harder content
oh except these 6 strikes!
the playlists stop giving you A rewards once you hit like 300 light
and otherwise it is an optional modifier that doesnt even give you that much score compared to its alternative, locked loadouts
Yes those ‘6 strikes’ are legitimately 50% of endgame content lmao.
The other 50% of which are raids.
In grand retrospect in this day and age where destiny content is severely lacking, those 6 strikes is literally 50% of endgame
the playlists notoriously are just worse than choosing your own modifiers unless you want the bonus focus
And whats up with that? Why block playlist from A?
Sry meant to comment to this lol
another thing you have always had to do
lfg for higher tier/endgame content
does the origin trait have to be selected for this?
you couldnt matchmake anything higher than a base level nightfall
dream work only works in fireteams that are also using dream work
This echo mb I didn’t comment under
they are not 50% of endgame content, like, at all
im solo
you run them literallh once
then it does nothing
huh
like if the conquests were replayable like gms were then i’d totally be on your side
Then this alongside raids what else do we have as endgame content lmao
oh right
THIS is the real issue with destiny right now htw
but i just mean it says weapons with the trait do bonus damage
now we’re getting to the crux of the issue
doesnt say i have to proc it
there IS no endgame content
true
ive tested it
ah
you do have to proc it
oh rip
Aaah whatever s’all good tho, everybody has their own opinion man. Sometimes the decisions bungie make is just…. So damn smoothbrain. So out of touch w their community it’s wild
But Bungie been hopping on issues p fast. Here’s to hoping they hop on this one too
yeah i really hope dungeons/raids get added to the new system in some capacity
get better stats
bungo said they're adding some dungeon encounters to the portal if thats what ur talking about
and power level

that sounds fire actually
Like it rly is the small things that matter
Who TF decided to put the cost for a SINGLE ascendant shard for 300 currency during arms week
Bro you can only earn up to 30 currency a day… if you did and saved up all arms week days’ worth of currency you STILL wouldn’t have enough to buy that single ascendant shard

why they gotta add it to the portal
but i mean something like the feats in tdp getting added to all raids
so i can power grind with them
bc they are fun
Dungeon encounters are fun yea gonna be cool when they add it
i was doing all sorts of activities in d2 with my friend, all of a sudden ive stopped getting solstice alloys, im at 500, but he is stuck at zero
we even did the scorch gamemode and he aint getting shit
hes already gotten 2 pieces of armor tho
key word fun
Is anything worth buying from Xur?
why is caldera so good
yes it is, if i actually enjoy the activity i’m playing
caldera is not enjoyable
k1 is not enjoyable
starcrossed is actually pretty enjoyable which is a hot take
encore is not enjoyable
Lmao caldera report says I have over 300+ completions of caldera 💀
I’m dead inside echo
I’m 436
on vex days yeah
yeah yep ok
leaving this activity immediately and am going to go for a run
bye
i wish i had that luxury
put on the 1 cost disclipline grenade mod
Oh jeez lmao
you dont have streets?
Echo about to get dark lol
no i just have cancer and anemia
well
actually
im technically im remission
but i still have chemo which messes me tf up 😭
sickle cell disease?
funny you say i just did a biology assignment on anemia and sickle cell disease
sickle cell is horrible
no it’ll pass once the chemo does lol
its very mild cancer so to speak
hodgkin lymphoma
stage 2
caught it early then
where can I do grandmaster nightfall? I need the achievement but I only see master
they do not exist anymore
rip
so you unfortunately cannot get that achievement until bungie changes it
do the ice crystals spawned by rime coat get increased damage by the grenade stat?
no
conflux lowkey a fire solo up
(they should though)
are current solo op mission constantly changing enemies because of the power vacuum after witness death
does anyone know the rotation of the nightfall weapon as of today?
nighfall weapons dont drop how they used to anymore
every nightfall will drop a curated roll of each nighfall weapon until you have all of them
then it drops nothing
except cores and such
how did i get bushido armor from trials?
real it'd be nice if they added some of the older easier dungeons like the final of pit
so we can get challenging versions of them
i saw somebody say they should add the forge/black armory stuff into portal and ive never heard more fire in my life
hell if i know
idk what those are
ive only started playing this year
i dont either
thats why it sounds fire to me
“new” content!
Where did you hear strandlock was getting buffed?
orbs of power
i think they also heal when they get frost armor
orbs of power felt too slow, but didnt know they healed on frost armor
picking up stasis shards give frost armor and heal a little bit
its the Tectonic Harvest aspect
Their harvest aspect is the the best of the 3 classes for stasis
Doesnt require kills. Just destroy crystals or shatter enemies. Which you'll be doing a ton of.
Gives shards which in turn gives frost armor and healing
Is there anything faster to level from 350 to 400 than B+ solo ops
check the twid
(and melee energy)
yea
isn't the heal from a fragment? (and bad)
avante garde being active for 6 activities total
would be cool if they added full raids/dungeons to the portal and made those ones have feats and a separate, harder triumphs page
knowing bungie they'd probably just fully revamp the seals
like they did with flamekeeper and conqueror
imagine raid seals requiring flawless 
Holy shit
Its like Bungie read my mind
This is an indirect buff for Swarmers as well
The Weavewalk change, I mean
Heyo!
The Barrow-Dyad is it still obtainable or can I no longer do it?
you'll have to wait for Derealization to come around in the Legends node and see
should be in a week and a few days
Where do I access the lighthouse for trials? I have 7 wins but can’t find where I go to access it
i hear it's in the portal if you have the lighthouse passage
Next to where you launched trials
Oh nice, thank you!
Holy hell the strandlock changes address literally every issue I had with Strandlock
Attaching Woven Mail to Weavewalk is a great idea, gives us access to Woven Mail.
Buffing that instead of reverting the nerf to Thread of Warding allows them to buff Strandlock without impacting the class balance of Titan or Hunter
Anyone know if the catalyst for Choir of One will drop from expert or higher?
Encore pinnacle
i wouldn't mind that since i don't have any anyways
ive only heard it dropping from master and gm
its more aura than godslatyer
Is any loot up to LF still good in current content?
Some exotics
What about the raid gear?
DSc and vog have some relevant loot
Garden for PvP
garden for pve also
Champ title
i have that one!
ok thanks
what do I want on outbreak for pve?
Fluted/arrowhead, Appended, rewind
Bro is the 30 challenges achievement really bugged?
Yeah, bungie has acknowledged it
Where? Links?
stock stays fitted? also how do I get those upgrades is it like a secret within the exotic mission
Do you have to be a certain power level to see crucible challenges if they exist anymore?
those are gone
stock doesn't matter. look up a guide for the other perks
is there a way to increase the chance
no
whats the best festival flight roll
what do i even get from doing gambit
Oh ok but they are aware and working on a fix since from the seasonal hub those 5-6 weekly challenges that refresh should count
are adept weapons still a thing
Not in a way that matters
not for new weapons
that's what tiers are replacing essentially
I have one that’s Ambitious/OFA. seems pretty good
there's a bunch of good ones though
I don’t really use area frames though
recon?
envious arsenal + elemental honing
do i have to be a certain level to get tier 5 stuff?
my bad, this one is incorrect
yes
does have frenzy, no reconstruction though
yes, certain power lvl and guardian rank
whats the highest tier i can get at 213
with some exceptions
you can rarely get a tier 3
albeit very rarely
2-3 usually
depending on source
300+ and GR7+ for me
when can i get tier 4 and 5 drops?
tier 4 drops rarely at 300+ and tier 5 drops rarely at 400+
assuming you're only running portal?
solstice drops drop 1 tier above what you normally get
so for that you can get tier 3 stuff right now
and there's triumph challenges to get kepler drops to go a tier or two higher as well
im playing trials rn
you have to flawless for tier 5s in trials
you also need to be 400+
i think
i don't think you can get tier 5 with just flawless at 200
Bro as a dude whose fav destiny class + subclass by far and away is the strandlock... I'm hype af for the changes.
Been maining it through thick and thin.
The changes address most the issues I had in a way that wont effect titans or hunters
There isn't a lot of text but my god are the couple changes they are making incredibly impactful
Looking forward to seeing the Hunter ones, especially if they’re claiming to be addressing class fantasies
I'm curious to see if they do anything for Stasis Titan, thats my 2nd favorite.
give stasis titan a not trash melee and a useable stasis based exotic
Icefall mantle aint bad
Does any one know if it is possible to get an emblem attributed to my account that I forgot to grab from the event rank rewards?
everything it does is already base on stasis
you can unironically make a better stasis themed build on prismatic than stasis
why did aegis add (WIP) to the shopping list description in his google sheet
Ye, my fav Behemoth Titan build is Stronghold + Flash Counter/Cold Steel Aurora Dawn
Could anyone tell me some of the better Titan builds? So far I’ve experimented with wormgod solar hammer Titan and tcrash cuirass of falling star Titan. Are there good stasis, void or strand builds too? I don’t have prismatic unfortunately
I’m a pris hunter, on my Relativism piece, I want Inmost light and what was the second one?
Huge fan of Stronghold builds on both Strand and Stasis.
They do it better than Prismatic
erm wat the
What is a stronghold build?
terrible
stand around do nothing be useless build
strand has banner of war + Synthos or flechette storm + Wishful Ignorance
void has Peregrines
Stasis has Armamentarium or Heart of Inmost Light
arc also has Skullfort
Yep I currently have a skullfort build with dps swap to cuirass
If you’re past level 400, what is the minimum trials win streak to get some tier 5’s at the lighthouse chest? Friend doesn’t wanna get 7 wins and is curious
oi
Stasis has an insane amount of nade spam (you get 500% nade regen for destroying stasis crystal for 6 secs and 12% nade energy for getting hit with a CD of 1 sec... counts while blocking)
can i get any exotic out of an exotic engram
or is it just the ones out of the pool when i click on details
cuz i want secant filaments
and like
holy pmo
Just the pool
Go to rahool
Anyone lol
Don’t decrypt the engram
need cipher
the grind of free to play games is off the charts
Or check if you’re close to one in the rewards pass or weekly pass
Ppl hold the block button too long
holding the block button too long doesnt change the fact the exotic sucks
rank 100
am a bit off
You can get two free exotic ciphers every week, one from weekly pass in season hub and one from xur
To my knowledge at least
i finished the weekly pass in a day
and got ex diris with the cipher
Hmm, then other than xurs quest not much you can do but wait
might actually see what xur has
His quest is easy, just do portal activities
He also has thunder Lord and izanagis burden catalyst on offer rn
oh what
I mean it’s a free cipher
👍
this guy always got hawkmoon for salew
For builds...
Is there any build that doesnt aim to get Weapons to 100/200?
Struggling to see why you wouldnt want to get that to atleast 100
