[hollow oak]

because quickplay is fuckin broken

[waxen ibex]

You get a free boost to 300 power right now which makes you instantly start dropping t3s from everything and at 350 you drop only t4s

[steel sundial]

don't play quickplay 😭

[hollow oak]

the options for higher tiers of quickplay are just GONE now

[waxen ibex]

Why are you doing quickplay

Just don't

[hollow oak]

I dont wanna manually start an activity every time

I want it to be RANDOM

[ebon lily]

no it’s tier 4 at 400

[steel sundial]

matchmade picks the modifiers every time

[hollow oak]

not modifier

map

I want it to be a random strike

[waxen ibex]

Quickplay is objectively the worst way to level because it doesn't give you the green engram rewards for the thing you clear

[ebon lily]

Yeah i want vanguard ops playlist back bro

[waxen ibex]

The best way to level by far is just rotating bonus engrams

[hollow oak]

basically yeah

[waxen ibex]

No

That's just not true

[hollow oak]

I want the game to pick a random strike so that im not manually picking the same strike over and over

[waxen ibex]

I was dropping T5s in prime engrams by 360 lol

[ebon lily]

I only started getting t4 at 400

[waxen ibex]

It's better to not manually pick the same thing over and over

Anyway

[sudden egret]

you don't have to pick the same strike

[hollow oak]

I want it to do it automatically, like it always did before the portal was added

[waxen ibex]

Caldera farming meta at the start of eof has ruined the entirety of portal discourse

[hollow oak]

and for some reason they removed the 3 higher tiers of quickplay that were there legit a week ago

[waxen ibex]

It's incredible

[ebon lily]

fix it so you get anywhere from 1-3 bonus engrams randomly on each clear, and activities all give their designated amount of engrams (or 2 each idc)

[hollow oak]

there was 4 tiers of quickplay. and for some reason now theres only normal mode, the easiest one, with the worst drops

cant even raise the mode

[ebon lily]

Yeah GIVE US GM QUICKPLAY BUNGIE

[hollow oak]

they removed it before I even got to play the advanced highest mode

[waxen ibex]

Okay but this is still wrong lol

[hollow oak]

every time I play quickplay

its in normal mode, with C rank expected points

[waxen ibex]

Quickplay is expert difficulty by default, they removed the lower difficulties because they made it impossible to be under 300 power

[hollow oak]

and it wont let me change that

[waxen ibex]

Quickplay will always give a power increase from 10-399

[waxen ibex]

It always said this, that's how matchmade activities are

[hollow oak]

im in solo ops.

[waxen ibex]

It still gives a power increase until 400

Quickplay is literally just expert difficulty only

[hollow oak]

showing me a C rank reward and enemies light level being way lower than mine is definitly not expert mode

[waxen ibex]

Have you even

Played it once

[hollow oak]

ive been doing it ALL DAY

[waxen ibex]

Or are you just complaining about something that's literally not true

It's in the patch notes

[hollow oak]

fine ill pull up the page

[waxen ibex]

Yes because the node is meant for anybody from 10-399

Quickplay never allowed customizing modifiers

You were never allowed to change shit ever except for the difficulty

[waxen ibex]

Now there is one difficulty option

[hollow oak]

I dont wanna change modifiers, I wanna go to higher difficulies other than NORMAL

[waxen ibex]

Okay I give up

[hollow oak]

what it had before was perfect

[waxen ibex]

I tried to explain this to you as well as I could

The patch notes explain it clearly and you just refuse to understand

[sudden egret]

sorry buddy, what you had before is gone

[hollow oak]

legit C+ rewards is all it will give me. when before I was easily getting A every quickplay

see if I go to a normal selected mission its instantly at master

cuz im on my hunter

[sudden egret]

you can try the new options or keep complaining

[hollow oak]

there arent new options, all they did was remove options

[sudden egret]

your option is to do a custom match

if you want a higher grade

[hollow oak]

you cant randomize custom match missions

[waxen ibex]

Even if quickplay is bugged for people over 300 just do something else

[sudden egret]

i'm not telling you to randomize it

[hollow oak]

I want to randomize it like I always have

[waxen ibex]

You get literally 4x the rewards per solo op for doing something with bonus rewards ready on it

[sudden egret]

i know, but you can't

[waxen ibex]

And that goes away after one clear

[hollow oak]

and thats dumb as hell for bungie to do

[waxen ibex]

You are literally incentivized to do the variety you want by quadrupling the drops

[sudden egret]

you're the only one I know who wants a random playlist

not bungies fault to remove it on this feature

[hollow oak]

I dont care about bonus drops, I dont care about custom modifiers. I want a random strike, with the max dificulty I can enter

[steel sundial]

if you dont care about drops then why do you care that quickplay gives you shitty drops

[sudden egret]

they are trying to simplify the portal interface and you're the only one that was using this feature

[hollow oak]

like I had a freakin week ago

[hollow oak]

4 options was not complicated.,

[sudden egret]

it was still a clutter of four boxes that only 1 person was using

[steel sundial]

4 options, all with random maps, random modifiers, every single day

[hollow oak]

easy, medium, hard, or extra hard. and it even showed you what light you need to enter

[hollow oak]

exactly! and now its gone!

[steel sundial]

except it wasnt actually easy medium or hard

it was just on light

[hollow oak]

if they wanted to "simplify" it, they should have just allowed difficulty options for quickplay

[steel sundial]

once you got past 400 the quickplay was entirely useless

that number has just been moved to 300 now

[hollow oak]

yeah because it didnt go up to 500 for some reason

[steel sundial]

if you were lower power you'd have been able to use quickplay

[steel sundial]

endgame activities famously do not get matchmaking often

[hollow oak]

I dont want matchmaking!

[sudden egret]

once you get high enough level, you just grind the shorter missions, in a random playlist, most will just leave if they load into a longer mission

[steel sundial]

yes, but quick play for other activities added matchmaking

[sudden egret]

no one but you wants a playlist

[steel sundial]

if they had ultimate difficulty for JUST solo ops it would be extremely odd

[fathom marten]

Is there a question here or is this just complaining to people who can't do anything?

[hollow oak]

this. this button is the ONLY button I use

[steel sundial]

why? you don't have to look for teammates, they give them to you

[hollow oak]

because its more fun to fuck with builds alone

[steel sundial]

i mean thats fine

[sudden egret]

just roll a 6d and assign a number to each solo op and do that one

[steel sundial]

like if it's just pure inconvenience for you not wanting to select the modifiers thats just a nothing burger issue i'm sorry

[hollow oak]

6d?

[ebon lily]

d6

[steel sundial]

d6

6 sided die

[hollow oak]

needing to select modifiers after every single mission is indeed annoying yes

[teal adder]

i keep getting c tier in fireteam ops despite it saying B rewards, whats happening?

[hollow oak]

not being able to randomize what mission im doing is the main problem

[steel sundial]

that's entirely on you because you want to change the solo op every time

[sudden egret]

going to slow and/or not killing enough stuff

[teal adder]

i thought they removed the timer?

[steel sundial]

you can remove the timer if you want

but you still get a bonus for being fast

[coral cedar]

Is it possible to get the exotic raid weapon twice at the same time?

[teal adder]

does it say how fast?

[hollow oak]

quickplay modifiers change every day or something like that. but that wasnt what I cared about, what I cared about is randomly selected missions. sometimes it was k1, and then skywatch, then conflux, other days it was salt mines and creation. it was random

[sudden egret]

in LW you can

[teal adder]

i dont see any timers

[coral cedar]

I just got it on the witness

[teal adder]

i was running battleground cosmodrome

[coral cedar]

I was like wtf

2?

[sudden egret]

nice

[coral cedar]

Thats so strange

[fathom marten]

It's not impossible but it's much rarer for raids that aren't Last Wish

[fathom marten]

Do you have a question?

[hollow oak]

stealing defeat from the jaws of victory. every time

[hollow oak]

this was from a question. of me asking how the fuck I can change quickplay difficulties like I was doing legit a week ago. but apparently it was "complicated" for someone idk. maybe bungie is targeting younger audiences now to raise player counts

[fathom marten]

The answer is likely Bungie changed it

And you can't anymore

[hollow oak]

Im aware, and honestly not surprised. I guess I forget who runs this game sometimes

[twin marsh]

Whats the shotgun that shoots both in stasis and solar?

[fathom marten]

Conditional Finality

[twin marsh]

And where is it obtained?
If its a raid im screwed

[fathom marten]

From the Root of Nightmares raid...

[valid hazel]

Does osteo striga have any synergy with strand. Builds

[twin marsh]

Oh for fu-

[valid hazel]

I'm not motivated to complete witch queen but if it works with either void or strand I might

You get osteo striga from witch queen right?

I gotta do the campaign?

[fathom marten]

Nope, Kinetic damage submachine gun

[twin marsh]

WELP thats one weapon i wont get even if i wanted / tried to because i lack friends that play d2, well friends generally BUT

[wraith marten]

been stuck here for idk how long is it a bug

[twin marsh]

Okay am i weird for my best weapon to be wish-ender

[valid hazel]

What does it work best with then? Prismatic?

[fathom marten]

Since they made all "old" raids farmable, you can probably find lfg groups that are just farming the last encounter over and over until the exotic drops for everyone

[valid hazel]

Is osteo striga even relevant anymore

I rmr it was mainstream before

[fathom marten]

It's pretty ass unless you're using some kind of Necrotic Grips build on Warlock. It's basically an smg version of Thorn

[twin marsh]

I ngl didnt even do the raid once

I think i only did one raid?
An old one though

[fathom marten]

Don't even have to do the full thing anymore

You can just repeat the last encounter until you get it

[twin marsh]

Yeah but do i need to clear the raid before to do that or

[waxen ibex]

The biggest lfg server still has like constant sherpa groups going on and ron is one of the most approachable raids ever

[fathom marten]

Nope

[twin marsh]

the hell is a sherpa?
first heard it in a john titor vid but i have no idea what it means

[hollow oak]

a carry that teaches you

[valid hazel]

Damn, why do all the cool exotics fall off or just not get catalysts

[waxen ibex]

Just someone volunteering their time to teach people the raid

[twin marsh]

Ah

[waxen ibex]

Pretty much

[waxen ibex]

It specifically is referring to a raid report stat that tracks every time somebody does their first raid clear with you

But it just means teaching groups basically

[twin marsh]

Fair enough

[waxen ibex]

A lot of people get enjoyment out of teaching raids and I used to do it a bunch too

[fathom marten]

Sherpa comes from the Sherpa people of Nepal that would help guide people up mountains in the Himalayas. It's now become associated with pretty much anyone that'll guide new people through something

[twin marsh]

I not gonna lie did some stuff in last wish i believe since i got wish-ender, i dont really remember where its from exactly since its been a while since ive had wish-ender
the only raid im sure i finished is leviathan

to be fair even then i didnt understand anything in that raid despite being said multiple times what to do

[fathom marten]

Wish-Ender is from Shattered Throne

Which is a dungeon

[twin marsh]

oh its from shattered?

[fathom marten]

Mhm

[twin marsh]

always thought it had smth to do with last wish

all because of the god damn word "wish"

[frosty depot]

supers were changed not have their dmg scale from melee/grenade stats right?

[shell nova]

Yeah but you need to basically have all sphere on left as you

[deft granite]

Yeah

[shell nova]

The rule for dissect is not the shape the statue holding inside

You can double a shape and it still works

For example TSC

[hearty owl]

Is wishkeeper good

[shell nova]

I can escape inside if I am T and am holding 2 circles

And dissect had sphere left

[rancid fern]

It’s kinda mid

[twin marsh]

What exotic should i run on stasis / arc?

[rancid fern]

For what? Add clear, dps…?

[twin marsh]

uh probably dps since i lack damage by alot

[hearty owl]

How do I make tangles?

[rancid fern]

Any strand debuffed target, so Sever or Unravel. I think threadlings spawn one too.

[twin marsh]

(i mean my dps issue is prob related to the fact i mainly use wish-ender with a eager edge sword instead of a good rpg/grenade laucnher)

[rancid fern]

Queenbreaker
Acrius
Thunderlord
Grand Overture
Take your pick

[twin marsh]

I mean if i wanted to run an exo heavy i have the Gjallahorn

But it was an armor exo i wanted help on-

[rancid fern]

You gotta specify that then, we have both exotic armor and weapons.

[twin marsh]

Yeah sorry

[fathom marten]

Renewal Grasps is pretty decent for Stasis if you don't mind building around grenades

[twin marsh]

Where even are acrius and grand overtures?-

[rancid fern]

Exotic kiosk in the tower

[twin marsh]

Hunter by the way

[twin marsh]

In the collection*
Mb, i really gotta be more precise

[rancid fern]

Foetracer is pretty easy for dps.

[rancid fern]

Heavy slot

Collections>exotics>heavy weapons.

[twin marsh]

So i could run any subclass with foetracer?
well, minus if i want the nightstalker buff / golden gun buff

[rancid fern]

Yeah, you just gotta match the weapon with the ability you use to apply foetracer.

[twin marsh]

Funny question
why does the grand overture ornament just look like you slapped the calus respected shader

[wraith marten]

ok so pinnacle stuff is too difficult for me

but then they turned matchmaking off for it?

or am I missing something

[rancid fern]

Pinnacle ops don’t have matchmaking & never have.

[wraith marten]

ah rip

[brave canyon]

The only pinnacle ops that gets matchmaking is the onslaught and sometimes it switches to other things I think

[brave canyon]

They do now

[rancid fern]

From what?

[brave canyon]

Onslaught

[wraith marten]

yeah I just did one of the riven missions or whatever

[brave canyon]

And then the coil

[wraith marten]

matchamking worked there

[rancid fern]

So the stuff that got bumped over from fireteam ops then?

[brave canyon]

Ya it’ll rotate between onslaught coil and maybe something else but I’m not sure what all else would be in there

[brave canyon]

Yes

But not any of the exotic missions/dungeon encounters etc.

[wraith marten]

alr so if I want to grind out mint as of now i'll probably have to hop in with a few friends or something right

[rancid fern]

They must have forgot to remove the matchmaking then.

[wraith marten]

That's crazy 💀

[rancid fern]

Not really, nothing in pinnacle ops has matchmaking until recently because of mission mechanics.

[brave canyon]

Well if you want to grind it fast yes I would get a group and then do either galrhan or one of the exotic missions

[coral cedar]

How are there no strand primarys that go into the energy slot

[brave canyon]

If you want to play solo just do the matchmaking coil and onslaught rotator

[wraith marten]

no I mean the devs forgetting it lmfao

[brave canyon]

Because strand is kinetic slot

Same with stasis

[coral cedar]

Why

Thats dumb

[brave canyon]

That’s how it’s always been

[coral cedar]

They have solar primary weapons that go in energy slot

But no strand

[rancid fern]

Strand and stasis can only be in the kinetic and heavy slots.

[brave canyon]

Yes because the light elements are energy weapons and the darkness elements are kinetic

[coral cedar]

But why

[brave canyon]

Because Bungie decided

[coral cedar]

Ih

Oh

[fathom marten]

Because that's how they've always done it pretty much

[brave canyon]

How tf are we supposed to know lol

[coral cedar]

Well bungie is stupid

[hearty owl]

What if I kill them with a dragonfly on my gun

[coral cedar]

Maybe u read it

[brave canyon]

I don’t read bungies mind

[coral cedar]

No patch or something

Idk an update

Like a long time ago

[rancid fern]

That’s just an explosion so no.

[brave canyon]

You could feel free to Google it if you’d like to explore the topic deeper

[coral cedar]

No my search has been fullfilled

[hearty owl]

What would be a good gun then

To make tangles

[brave canyon]

I am pretty sure it’s intended to have matchingmaking considering the activities had matchmaking when they were in the game.

[twin marsh]

Is learning shatterskate worth it?

[brave canyon]

If you plan on benefiting from the movement tech

[rancid fern]

Probably something with slice or hatchling, but the sever fragment is a lot better.

[twin marsh]

fair
and (probably) last question:
How the hell do i get the ship from The Whisper's exo quest?

[hearty owl]

Ok thanks

[hearty owl]

Would last Thursday be good

[brave canyon]

I think it had to do with finding the oracles and stuff idk if you can get it anymore

[fathom marten]

Karve of the Worm?

[rancid fern]

It has both so it’d work fine.

[twin marsh]

Yeah
The old one's unobtainable i believe

[waxen ibex]

You can I think

They didn't disable anything in zero hour or whisper even with portal since the quests still exist

Thankfully

[fathom marten]

Yes, the old one is unobtainable. It should just be the triumph for finding all 7 oracles in the mission

[vivid cosmos]

I can use the same destiny account on both pc and PlayStation right? I assume all my dlcs from pc just wouldn’t be playable on PlayStation?

[waxen ibex]

Yes

The only ownership that transfers across platforms is dungeon keys and season passes

[brave canyon]

Correct you just need to choose which one you want to be the primary and that will override your other one

[fathom marten]

You can play on the same account, assuming you have cross-save enabled, but you would have to repurchase everything

[vivid cosmos]

Okay thanks

That’s a few dollars to spend

[twin marsh]

Alright thanks, ill just goof around in worm whispers to find all oracles or just watch a tutorial on how to get it

[twin marsh]

I think the pass for all dlcs up to final shape is on sale rn on ps4

[visual wyvern]

Its on sale like everywhere

[twin marsh]

ah fair

[waxen ibex]

A lot of them are kinda hidden just by putting them pretty far away iirc

[twin marsh]

Well i did get strand and keep stompees on me for a reason

[waxen ibex]

Well you're expected to snipe them with whisper I mean

[pearl plinth]

strand and stompees is also just alright to skip a lot of the parkour though

[waxen ibex]

All the oracles but one are in or before the green room as well

One is right after

[twin marsh]

i mean strand and eager edge sword alone was enough to skip most

[waxen ibex]

Skipping parkour means you'll probably run past 3 oracles to be clear lol

Funny tricky spots that you'd never go on a normal run mostly

[hearty owl]

Do you know of any good handcanons that could work

[rancid fern]

Round robin from Neptune. Nothing else really comes to mind, too many weapon names to keep track of.

Also unloved from sundered doctrine, it can have hatchling and tear at the same time.

Tear, slice & hatchling are great for making tangles.

[high lily]

Unloved or Better Devils are your only options for good strand hand cannons

[signal knoll]

How tf to do dual destiny because the second room with symbols, no symbols came up for me

They came up for the other guy but NOTHING came up for me

[turbid sorrel]

maybe in 5 years we'll get a strand exotic hc

and void will still have none

[visual wyvern]

The persons role rotates between rooms

[turbid sorrel]

[visual wyvern]

So 1st room symbol reader will be the symbol shooter in the 2nd room

[signal knoll]

Yeah, we got that down but legit no symbols showed up

[sudden egret]

Did you pick up your motes?

[signal knoll]

Yes

[rancid fern]

Did you also die and then lose them?

[visual wyvern]

You should get all of them before shooting symbols

[signal knoll]

No

[signal knoll]

I was calling out for this one

💔 I just want the exotic wtf this mission pissin me off

[visual wyvern]

Do you have a clip

[signal knoll]

No i don’t unfortunately

I heard the exotic will be available in fotl, is that true? 😭 anything to avoid this damn mission

[turbid sorrel]

yes, but u wont get the attunemet aspect

iirc

[sudden egret]

It was last year, we won’t know till the event starts

[waxen ibex]

It's still in the shop in the api so it'll be there

[signal knoll]

Fine by me

[signal knoll]

Alr

[waxen ibex]

Idk what issue you're having with dual destiny but it shouldn't be that hard though

I taught a friend it in like 2 runs

[signal knoll]

😭 dawg all ik is it made me crash out

The glyphs didn’t show after I got the motes, the 4000000000 thralls

Praying it’s in fotl because it’s an exotic I’d love to have

[waxen ibex]

The glyphs aren't always on the same side the motes come from

[signal knoll]

Oh?

[waxen ibex]

Anyway the roles swap every room so if you were reading on the first room then you'd be shooting the symbols that are up above you

[signal knoll]

Well either way, my duo said they won’t touch it again so I’ll wait til fotl or something

[waxen ibex]

On second room

And so on

[still barn]

can I farm vespers host to try and get icebreaker?

[celest island]

lol its like the most simple activity ever i think you should try again with a different teamate

can most likely just ask in lfg for someone to teach

[signal knoll]

If it’s not in fotl, I’ll ask again

[dark mango]

if youre still on the game i can run it rn

[signal knoll]

I’ll try it, gimme a sec

Ok I’m ready

[dark mango]

join 3 player pve 1 vc

[signal knoll]

Banshee’sBoyfriend#5668

[elfin ermine]

can you farm the final encounter to try to get the exotic?

[waxen ibex]

Yes

[valid hazel]

How do I get the unveiled quest I can't find it

Also where can j conr across a decent solar fusion rifle

I'm tired of having a weak second slot, I should be able to sustain two special ammo weapons

[waxen ibex]

You have to do unfinished business

[waxen ibex]

Why a fusion

For double special the gold standard is choir of one if you want ammo efficiency

Finite Maybe is like the only decent solar fusion I think

Other than that Cartesian Coordinate has been the best solar fusion available since season 13 in pve lol

Unless you use like merciless or something I guess

[turbid sorrel]

theres that season of witch one ig too

but meh

[waxen ibex]

Dead compared to pale heart one

But cartesian beats both

[turbid sorrel]

forgor pale had one ngl

i sharded my cartesian groll

[waxen ibex]

Rapid fire frame with lead from gold vorpal just means it's kinda the best by default until a better rapid (or aggressive now) shows up

It's funny

And that's finite maybe now

[valid hazel]

Isn't that like the long series of quests for the exotic glaive

[valid hazel]

It's the first high damage thing that comes to mind

And they play similar to new malpais which I'm already using

[waxen ibex]

No that's the short quest for the lmg

[valid hazel]

Where do I get that then cause I haven't seen it

Or maybe I've already done it?

[waxen ibex]

It is given to you immediately after finishing the lightfall campaign

[valid hazel]

Thirteen steps?

Fuck me

Metaphorically

Obviously

[waxen ibex]

It's like 6 actual steps

Half the steps are to press E on a rock

[valid hazel]

I think I finished this one

Just guessing really

[waxen ibex]

After doing that you unlock veil containment

So

[valid hazel]

But 42.63/5 looks about done

Where do I extract the resources though

[waxen ibex]

You just haven't held e on the rocks to progress it

Cloud accretions are the shitty planet resource

Lol

Your ghost will mark them

[valid hazel]

Uh what locations do I tend to

Oh wait

Ik what you mean

Yeah I would've finished this quest by accident lmao

Alright thanks

Ah, and about that solar weapon

[valid hazel]

What's choir of one

[waxen ibex]

Overpowered

Special ammo exotic auto rifle, has so much ammo in reserves you will never run out and has a similar damage profile to a machine gun

Also gets destabilizing rounds for fun

Ofc would mean no Malpais but luckily mint retrograde is just better of the same thing for most cases lol

[uneven oracle]

Wanna try a starfire protocol build, any reccs?

[high lily]

200 grenade stat

thats pretty much all you need

[glad crag]

Spec into ignitions as kills from those from the grenades will count for the class ability energy

[waxen ibex]

You just need 200 grenade , just remember that ignition damage scales off the first scorch source so you always want to grenade before hitting with other abilities

Or you lose a ton of ignition damage

[white pecan]

for explicator chal can you still solo top / bottom or do you need to move both lights in the same cycle

[sudden egret]

my guess would be no since you have to move 4 planets on top and bottom

[white pecan]

naur i just threw myself at it the planets dont reset

idk if thats a master only thing i remember them resetting

[sudden egret]

there shouldn't be any difference in mechanics between normal and master

[silent seal]

For anyone wondering, I just won the giveaway from this discord, it is legit, I got the codes . Thank you Veno

[sharp kraken]

what is the small icon next to the weapons stat

the one next to "0"

[sudden egret]

tuning stat

[sharp kraken]

what does it mean

[sudden egret]

it's the tuning stat you can change with the mod on t5 armor

[sharp kraken]

so i can increase this stat?

or decrease it?

[sudden egret]

at the expense of another stat

it gives +5 to that stat but you have to decrease -5 of another

[sharp kraken]

thanks

oh i can choose which stat i want to give up for it

nice

[long moss]

am i missing something , recently back to game
it says to get tier B or above but the quick play is capping at C+ ,also never getting that 3 bonus drops

[little pewter]

it doesnt cap at C+, are you sure you're going fast enough and doing the mission side objectives stuff?

[high lily]

if youre high enough power, you just cant get enough score for the bonus rewards

[little pewter]

ah thats probably why

[celest island]

what is fotl

whats it stand for

something festival

[cerulean sail]

festival of the lost

[torpid charm]

My friend has completed the final shape campaign, he’s done lost in the light and lost in the dark wuest and he’s also done the ergo sum quest, why doesnt alone in the dark wuest pop up?

[long moss]

yes

[long moss]

welp that makes sense

[fathom marten]

Have they done the Convalescence quests? They need to do all quests from Micah-10 before Alone in the Dark appears

[turbid sorrel]

if its pve, just note if u get a health tuning its kinda wasted n u just have to use balanced tuning

which isnt the end of the world

[torpid charm]

He doesn’t have any quests when my friend checks

[pallid flicker]

As a titan is there any incentive to run a nade build like ashen wake

I mean nades are warlock speciality right

Why go ashen?

[pulsar hemlock]

whats the best way to farm strand meditation

[cerulean sail]

because you'd want to

[fathom marten]

1. Have them check their quest tab to see if they have it already. Go through everything to double check it
2. If nothing is found, check the Quest Archive near the Postmaster and the stairs in the Tower.
3. If still nothing… I got nothing else

#❓destiny-questions message and killing things with a Strand subclass on Neomuma

[pulsar hemlock]

how do i get Apogee Repeaters

the nodes

they dont apear for me anymore

[fathom marten]

They’re a one time thing, I think

[torpid charm]

Thanks man

[lofty nimbus]

can someone help me do the message campaign please

[cerulean sail]

you can only get them once

[lament summit]

does the dr from amplified and speed booster stack? if so does it stack multiplicatively or additively

[cerulean sail]

they stack multiplicatively

[lament summit]

neat

[tidal merlin]

Anyone else getting broccoli errors?

[small sentinel]

With the titans behemoth subclass, does whisper of impetus just always proc? What i mean is, does a melee immediately stow your weapon for a second or 2, and will the perk proc with howl of the storm?

[tidal merlin]

Nevermind, I should just stop using windows.

[alpine tiger]

Why is it that always when I start a public event there are 5 people but in the end I’m on my own?

[small sentinel]

You use a stasis subclass?

[alpine tiger]

I haven’t played since 2020 what is subclass?😂

[small sentinel]

Just the elements you have per character, like solar, arc, void, etc. just all those.

[alpine tiger]

Oh I’m playing solar

[small sentinel]

Then idk, people leave when im around, people don’t like being encased, I don’t mean to though.

[alpine tiger]

Encased in what?

[small sentinel]

Stasis, it’s powerful, but annoying, anyone can get it by completing the beyond light campaign, it became free a while ago.

Still need to buy the dlc if you want the exotics from that one though.

[alpine tiger]

Actually I’ve just bought the legacy collection

[small sentinel]

Nice.

[alpine tiger]

It has all the contents till light fall

What should I expect or do?

I’ve just started shadowkeep campaign

[small sentinel]

I don’t really know, but you can’t go wrong with a prismatic build, it’s a sort of grinding class, you have to jump through hoops for the abilities, it’s worth it though when you finally beat final shape.

Someone will come along soon, these guys are always helpful, to be honest, I don’t know what to recommend, everything’s awesome.

[alpine tiger]

I hope so
I could really use a consulting session to know what builds there are what should I do cause it feels really different from 2020 and I feel my damage output has become 1/20 of what it used to be back then

[half ridge]

How is the state of this game right now, compared to 2018-2020 when I banged it out

[pearl plinth]

not great

but better than like 2 weeks ago

[half ridge]

Was like 12 back then I have so much nostalgia I want nothing more than to experience that again

[alpine tiger]

Player base has went down the drain but it’s not bad I guess it brings good memories back

[half ridge]

Yh that’s a shame, community was one of the main reasons I loved it so much

[pearl plinth]

if you've noticed that because of the actual numbers, everything got squished to be smaller with edge of fate. so a bullet that would do 450 damage or something before this is now doing like 30. the proportions to enemy health is the same though

[alpine tiger]

Still great community tho, not many but very great people

[pearl plinth]

and to answer the question in regards to public events, nobody is in patrol spaces unless they're making their way to a quest or doing bounties so nobody really touches public events

[alpine tiger]

I would love to co op with you if you’d like

[alpine tiger]

Nah bro I mean from back like 5 years ago I’m a solar hunter but I’m squishy AF with power level 305 I feel like back then I had more dps

[pearl plinth]

yeah it might just depend on what you're using

[alpine tiger]

Thanks man I was doing the same but when I saw 5 people going at it I was like well let’s do it and at the end I was alone😂

[alpine tiger]

I really need to learn the builds it has changed a lot

[pearl plinth]

teensy bit

stats are different and you might need to familiarise yourself with any new mods

[harsh jackal]

can i get mint retrograde from any pinnacle?

[small sentinel]

I forgot to mention, xur does not spawn randomly anymore, he will always be in the tower starting every friday at 12:00pm est to tuesday 12:00pm est

[pearl plinth]

yeah should be

[half ridge]

Who ever did, all I remember about public events is the toxic PvP jokes they were too funny

[pearl plinth]

that's true they haven't been relevant since like year 2

[honest flicker]

Weird question i know, but if i wanted to delete my hunter and make another hunter would i lose all my subclasses and fragments and have to reacquire them?

[alpine tiger]

I don’t remember that guy but thanks

[small sentinel]

Oh, he just sells exotics and other stuff.

[pearl plinth]

yes, along with anything you had equipped

[honest flicker]

Well damn. Ok ty.

[pearl plinth]

and also quest progress on that character iirc

[exotic crest]

Chat how can I get the fighting lion?

[honest flicker]

I wish we could change our charaters appearance, i want to make hunter a female model instead of male.

[pearl plinth]

world drop, just keep opening exotic engrams or get it from Xûr if/when he sells one

[pearl plinth]

you can

[honest flicker]

How?

[pearl plinth]

should be an option of the character select menu

[honest flicker]

Ok i will look around

[alpine tiger]

Oh now I remember him

[small sentinel]

Also, the portal, the weekly rewards reset every Tuesday 12:00pm est. you can also get weekly arsenal redemptions from zavala which also resets with the weekly pass.

[honest flicker]

Found it ty so much!

[pearl plinth]

have fun transing your genders

[honest flicker]

Lmao its not like that, I just think female hunters look better. Plus smaller hit box in PvP 😄

[small sentinel]

Oh my lord, I’m sorry i have to keep coming back, there’s also a new vehicle type called the skimmer, you can fly with them, it’s like a sky surfboard. But you can get one from xur or buy the flitter keel in the bungie store.

[pearl plinth]

I think the correct term is self-propelled hoverboard

[alpine tiger]

Thanks bro ur like really helping I was wondering what they were

[pearl plinth]

what they are is the Best Vehicle

[timid cloak]

how do i get slayers fang? did kells fall but not the weapon

[rigid whale]

When is the spooky event starting

[errant coral]

21st

[timid cloak]

should be tuesday

[pearl plinth]

Kell's Fall in the pinnacle tab

oh wait I cannot read

[timid cloak]

haha

[rigid whale]

ITS CHEWKZDAY INNIT haha just kidding man I love Harry potter

[timid cloak]

do i need A grade?

[pearl plinth]

its rng but chances improve with grade

iirc

[timid cloak]

i thought all exotic missions just drop it on completion lmao

[rancid fern]

Not guaranteed in pinnacle ops, only in the legends tab versions.

[woeful star]

old seasonal ones

[still barn]

is slayers fang actually good? I keep seeing people use it in build videos on yt

[frosty depot]

does spark of brilliance and beacon not stack with each other?

[twin marsh]

Does anyone have any tip for avalon? (Vexcalibur's exotic mission)

[exotic crest]

Do kells fall in the legends tab of the world, not from the portal

[frosty depot]

i was testing this with darci which can't blind anyways (i will never forgive myself )

[celest dagger]

can someone help me with the granmaster hub thing

[little pewter]

to navigate it, or help to do a mission

[celest dagger]

[little pewter]

To navigate it, or to help to do a mission

[still barn]

desert perpetual only drops loot once per character per week right?

[twin marsh]

What fragments should i use on solar hunter w/ golden gun?

[dark mango]

legendary gear is farmable

exotic is not

[still barn]

awesome, I'm lookin for the legendary gear

[nova atlas]

which are the best stats to go for on warlock pve? i thought i should go for everything but weapons and maybe melee but im not entirely sure tbh

[visual wyvern]

Depends what you're using?

[nova atlas]

i thought i should go for an overall good setup because i dont farm alot and i dont have enough ressource to upgrade mutliple armor sets

[visual wyvern]

Ok...

But what are you using

[nova atlas]

abilities like super and grenade. i mean i know its obvious that i should try to go for these stats but i wasnt sure which stats really make a difference

[mortal cloud]

uh

I wanna play like nightfall grandmasters is there anything close to it? im rank 6

[rancid fern]

Reward wise just conquests.

But you can only do them once for the extra loot.

[mortal cloud]

do most conquests force me to use the you know restricted loadouts or is it just seasonal hub's play now conquests?

[rancid fern]

All conquests have avant-garde, the most annoying modifier ever.

[mortal cloud]

FUCKED UP

[mortal cloud]

btw in the fireteam portal here wheres the uhm

difficulties

isnt it usually near the quickplay

[rancid fern]

You gotta select one first

Quick play has a terrible score & I don’t recommend wasting any time in it.

[mortal cloud]

DAMN

which misson do you recommend btw

[rancid fern]

Anything else

[winter coyote]

is there an event this week ?

[rancid fern]

Most of the strikes in fireteam ops let you make them almost as difficult as they used to be. Deltas got locked though so nothing can be done about that, at least until they add some sort of delta modifiers back, if they ever do.

[mortal cloud]

got it

[exotic crest]

Will renegades have a new raid?

Or dungeon?

[twin marsh]

should i run the gjallahorn as an exo power weapon or is there a better option

[glad crag]

There are much better options

[twin marsh]

such as?

[unborn cloak]

its decent enough

good generalist weapon

that said you normally pick your weapons for the encounter you're doing

[dark mango]

parasite, finality's auger, whirling ovation

[glad crag]

Finality’s Ager, the new strand legendary rocket, Parasite

Hard to think of exotic heavies that actually surpass a legendary + exotic somewhere else

[glossy mesa]

Returning player here. UI is hella cluttered. How do I play the campaign

[glad crag]

Which campaign? They are under their respective planet

[glossy mesa]

I guess beyond light. I stopped playing after Shadowkeep

[glad crag]

Beyond Light will be Europa

[glossy mesa]

[glad crag]

And then Witch Queen is the throne world, Lightfall is Neptune, and Final Shape is the Traveler

[twin marsh]

and where are they from?-

[rancid fern]

Parasite is witchqueen.
Finality’s auger is sundered doctrine dungeon.
Whirling ovation is the newest raids exotic.

[ornate halo]

gally is good when you have lots of heavy and need ad clear or when you are doing rocket damage but like the other ppl said its bad for damage on its own

[solid topaz]

how rare is Godslayer

[little pewter]

does facet of dominance work with arc souls now?

[dark mango]

arc soul, getaway and ionic sentry yea

[little pewter]

hell yea

[celest island]

Didn't ionic sentry already jolt

It stuns overloads for me somehow

Or does bolt charge jolt?

[rancid fern]

No, spark of shock now works with arc buddies.

[dark mango]

no it used to blind only

[celest island]

how was it stunning overloads

[rancid fern]

Look up

[celest island]

like a month ago how was it stunning

I've used arc turret for months it's always stunned my overloads but maybe it's just killing them super fast?

[dark mango]

must have been something in heresy artifact if it was stunning

[celest island]

even this season

[dark mango]

no mention of jolt

[celest island]

probably just the bolt charge killing it

[pallid flicker]

Can you get choir intrinsics and catty as f2p form portal? How to?

[rancid fern]

I think so, but from portal its only a chance which increases with your score grade.

[covert ivy]

How do you do the Challenge accepted achievement in 2025?

[uneven plaza]

what do you do with fated ciphers?

i have a lot but I don't know what to do

[fathom marten]

Unknown. Bungie will change any Trophy/Achievement requirements if the game has had an update that impacts them but gives no timeline on when they will be updated. The “complete a grandmaster nightfall” one, for example, was impossible given the removal of grandmaster nightfalls but Bungie has since updated it to count for any grandmaster activity

[fathom marten]

They’re used at the Altar of Relativity on Kepler

[glad crag]

Are we still using Icefall with the new stasis titan stuff?

No one use Blastwave I bet

[pastel zealot]

gear focusing at the altar of relativity in kepler

it says so in the item description

[covert ivy]

The Hollowed Lair/The Corrupted/Warden of Nothing

Can I do any of these nightfalls in 2025 and do they still give the "Defeat a forsaken boss" achievement?

[fathom marten]

I think even Last Wish would count. The Hollowed Lair is unavailable but the other two are still on the Dreaming City map

[covert ivy]

LW didn't count, I completed it last week. I'll try the other 2 then. Ty!

[calm wren]

whats the epic koregos challenge?

[mortal cloud]

SOMEBODY HELPPP HELPPPPP

[deft granite]

Each person can only kill one boss (ever)

[calm wren]

ty we got it done

[fickle quartz]

Just to be sure do i need to buy the previous seasons passes with silver to buy the cosmetics with chronologs?

[fathom marten]

If you did not have them previously, yes

That’s the only place you can get those cosmetics too

[fickle quartz]

So i buy the current season pass with silver and acquire currency which i can only spend when i buy more silver? 😂

Do be this bold in the current state of this game is truly something

[fathom marten]

I’m fairly certain it does give you some chronologs outright when you buy one of the old passes.

[waxen ibex]

If you don't own any old passes you can spend chronologs on deepsight harmonizers which is what used to be in the passes where chronologs are now

You also get chronologs when you purchase an old pass you did not already own and from the weekly portal track

You're basically whining about an objectively good change to get rid of fomo on old cosmetics

[fathom marten]

They’re complaining about having to pay for the new season pass as the only other source of chronologs

[waxen ibex]

Except portal track gives fair bit too

[wraith marten]

is there a guide on how to solo the dungeon that currently drops mint retro?

[waxen ibex]

Wdym

Mint isn't a focused weapon today so are you under the impression it only drops from a specific activity

[shadow venture]

It is

It's dropping from Beneath the Necropolis

[waxen ibex]

Oh the site I checked said nothing has it

Weird

Says gahlran has lionfish

[deft granite]

What site are you using

[waxen ibex]

Look up pit of heresy guide, is just the first encounter

[wraith marten]

oh wait so I only have to do the first encounter and then I can leave?

[shadow venture]

What do you consider the first encounter

[waxen ibex]

The portal activity itself is only the entrance of the dungeon

There's no bosses or anything you're just kinda running around in circles and then it ends at the altar of suffering encounter

[waxen ibex]

I guess technically you could see it as three encounters but I've never really looked at the opening + tunnels as more than just an entrance thing like vog has idk

You don't even have enemies on screen for a majority of the time spent before the chamber of suffering

[shadow venture]

I consider the whole entrance thing an encounter since, well, you can put down a rally flag in the actual dungeon

[waxen ibex]

Regardless though the portal version of pit basically skips the only hard part and it's just a long slog

I wouldn't even farm it after getting the guaranteed focus drop since it's so long personally

[wraith marten]

wait wait so you don't even go to the first encounter?

you just kill ads and then activity ends?

[waxen ibex]

You do necropolis + ogre tunnels + chamber of suffering

And it ends there

Necropolis and ogre tunnels might as well just be running around add clearing and chamber of suffering is mostly just add clear while standing on a plate

Ends before zulmak which is the only encounter with an actual boss or anything

[wraith marten]

ok so I just have to look at those 3 and then good to farm right?

[waxen ibex]

Yeah

Just run it once following a pit of heresy guide and it'll kick you out with portal loot halfway

[high lily]

You also get a chest after beating it

Because its an encounter

[pulsar hemlock]

im on step 7 of 9 in a quest on my titan class, can i do it on my hunter with the same step

?

[harsh jackal]

when does extra bonus focus reset

[ripe mason]

what site?

[waxen ibex]

i guess light.gg's api refreshing is broken or something

braytech shows today's fine but light.gg stuck on yesterday's

oh yeah api is totally just really slow rn

[twin marsh]

whats the best way of getting an exotic engram?

[waxen ibex]

you can get a weekly exotic engram from running excision, they are common from lost sectors on the higher difficulties as well

[trail pendant]

Why can't i launch a conquest? All my gear is featured besides my exotic class item

[sudden egret]

exotic class item isn't featured

[trail pendant]

yeah but its exotic??

[sudden egret]

exotics can be featured

[trail pendant]

Okay but they changed that right?

[sudden egret]

not right now

maybe in renegades

[uncut bluff]

If i can get to 400 power for fotl i could get t5 drops from the event right? If it works the same way as solstice

[sudden egret]

sure

[visual wyvern]

I guess

[shadow venture]

assuming it works the same way, yeah

[inner citrus]

Are raids scaled by power level? Like what’s a good power level to be before starting raids

[shadow venture]

whatever you want

[inner citrus]

So you can raid with level 10 gear if u want? Or like how does it scale

If I had 10 vs 350 would 350 just melt everything or would it scaled

[turbid sorrel]

Scaled

By highest power in team

[little marlin]

I just started the game and im so Lost... Want to do the main quest, but i dont even know where to start It. Im now in a mission called into the abyss where i need to kill enemies with abyss weapon? How i proceed forward?

[wraith marten]

how do you get tier 5 stuff?

and why do some of them have like 3 dots but some others also have them filled in with like a purple?

[shadow venture]

raise your power level

[wraith marten]

also for an escape artist warlock turret build, the stats I want are grenade, health, and class right?

[rancid fern]

Not health for a turret build.

[wraith marten]

oh wut

what stats then

[glad crag]

Grenade, class to cover the turrets, and then I suppose its your preference of weapon, super, or melee

[rancid fern]

You need to be 451 power and set the score to be a minimum 1.15 million, that will guarantee T5 gear.

[wraith marten]

ahh.... that's gonna be a while then lmao

[pulsar hemlock]

how to get this smg

[drifting plinth]

xur

[pulsar hemlock]

is there any smg like it

how was this farmable before xur?

[fervent ember]

Haven’t played in a month what’s the best power farm now

[dark mango]

multimach or the festival of the lost smg coming out on tuesday

[pulsar hemlock]

do u have a pic of it

[remote girder]

doing fireteam finders, never seen this emblem before how do you get it?

[dark mango]

of which

[brisk merlin]

whats that armor peace for titan for thundercrash

[pulsar hemlock]

smg

[rancid fern]

Cuirass

[brisk merlin]

ty

[rancid fern]

First grab the 300 power gear at the tower, then focus on activities with bonus loot. To access more bonus loot, complete the weekly challenges in the portal.

Grade A gives the highest power gains.

[pastel zealot]

its from trials of the nine. not currently available

[turbid sorrel]

Trials of the nine

Unobtainable

Oh wow

@pastel zealot delete ur message

It never happened

[spare quartz]

So is there a "new" version of Getaway Artist? Trying to complete missions using the Avante Garde modifier. If so, how do I get it?

[sudden egret]

There is no new version

[spare quartz]

So we are suppose to do Avante Garden modifier without an exotic gear?

[sudden egret]

Some exotics are featured. Check the collections list

[remote girder]

damn

[spare quartz]

sigh ... thanks!

[twin marsh]

Vexcalibur is guaranteed right?

[rancid fern]

From the legends tab yes

Chance in portal, increased chance with higher grades.

[twin marsh]

im krilling god

[ebon lily]

ok if you use giver’s blessing with rewind rounds + extended mag + backup mag + actium war rigs how much ammo would you be able to fire off before running out

assuming every shot lands

[sudden egret]

Sounds like something you can test in the firing range

[ebon lily]

i don’t have the gun yet

[remote girder]

i got 1 engram, out of these exotic armors i don't have which should I buy?

[ebon lily]

i was wondering if it’s worth going for or if the ammo regen doesn’t work

[rancid fern]

Rain of fire

[sudden egret]

It’s good even without actium

[remote girder]

alright

[ebon lily]

yes but more ammo

[sudden egret]

It’s a primary

Takes like half a second to reload

[ebon lily]

apparently it takes 2.5 seconds to reload 💀

[sudden egret]

take off extended mag

[tiny hearth]

When does destiny wipe again?

[rancid fern]

Wipe? You mean reset loot? Tuesday.

[ebon lily]

Nah, I could just shoot longer and reload once everything’s dead

[distant turtle]

Im manifesting a cloud strike ornament next tuesday

In the shop

Keep watch bruh

I know its happening

[sudden egret]

With an AR? That’s a good one

[ebon lily]

hey it’s apparently really viable with the right setup (i’ll pair it with knockout consecration for good measure)

[pastel zealot]

not in calendar unfortunately

https://www.todayindestiny.com/eververseCalendar

[distant turtle]

Might as well quit the game

Been a good one

[hollow cradle]

Is the power grind really better than what it was before

[rancid fern]

Yes, way way way better.

[sudden egret]

Bonus drops are power drops and power drops are +1 of previous levels

[hollow cradle]

And is it worth getting final shape solely for agape

I saw lucky pants was a good dps build with it so I wanted to go back to hunter

[sudden egret]

Agape is from edge of fate

[hollow cradle]

Yeah that

God dammit I can’t rmb these dlc name

[sudden egret]

If you have to dps with Hunter, it’s one of the better options for primary dps

[hollow cradle]

I mostly swapped to titan because ppl were saying hunter is lwk mid

[sudden egret]

For raids, most teams want locks and titans.

[hollow cradle]

Ig im staying titan

I really don’t like alot of their armor so I’m Js using the storm trooper

[hearty owl]

Is quanalius good

[fickle fulcrum]

how do i get choir of one?

[high lily]

No

[waxen ibex]

do encore in portal

[high lily]

Encore exotic mission

[waxen ibex]

get an A rank

[fickle fulcrum]

oh it drops from there gotcha

[hollow meteor]

When getting the mythic strangelet capsule on aionian campus, where do you take cover from the imps?

Nevermind

[tiny hearth]

No like when they fully wipe your account and start again at a new power level

[fathom marten]

What

You mean like moving from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2? Never

[sudden egret]

Accounts are never wiped. Power level can be reset at a dlc release but won’t be at the next one.

[hearty owl]

When does iron banner come back

[spare quartz]

If you play Warlock, I recommend Rimecoat.

[rancid fern]

They already unlocked that though

[spare quartz]

Oh my B, I read something wrong .... carry on lol

[pearl plinth]

and the correct answer is sunstar

[tiny hearth]

Yeah okay

[high lily]

People saying Rain of Fire when Sunstar is right there 😭

[remote girder]

what does sunstar do actually i don't know

[high lily]

Increased ability energy from ionic traces and also gives teammates ability regen

Its the go to arc exotic

Rain of Fire sees basically no use these days

[high lily]

Great pairing with Coldheart also

[remote girder]

i do love anything that gives me a reason to use coldheart

would be nice to try out an arc warlock build thats not just geomags + chaos reach

[cold dirge]

does dunking chronons during wyvern in EDP extend dps?

[fervent ember]

Do bonus focus drops drop at +2 with a score

[green gyro]

has anyone else had really terrible connection today?

[sudden egret]

They drop as the same as the chest drops at the end

[fast skiff]

whats a good alternative to yeartide apex

prolly like mida or calus mini tool?

[sudden egret]

yeah or antedate if on titan

[fast skiff]

fahhh

okay

[chilly bridge]

is mint retrograde viable for boss damage if i want to run a sword or smth for heavy

or should i go for a dps heavy

[sudden egret]

Yes

[chilly bridge]

heavy would technically be better tho yes?

[sudden egret]

Depends on the heavy

It out dps most exotics

[chilly bridge]

whats meta for heavy slot?

[sudden egret]

Finality’s auger or parasite which works with a mint rotation

[chilly bridge]

i see

[high lily]

and Whirling

[chilly bridge]

for raids btw

if that changes anything

[fast skiff]

fuck mint bro im acc getting so unlucky w perk combos

[sudden egret]

Those rotations work in raids

[sudden egret]

True but most don’t have it

[inner citrus]

anyone know where i can find good raid builds for hunter

kinda new to the game

[fast skiff]

is there any other way to grind for mint other than doing pinnacles

[sudden egret]

Wait for Zavala to sell one

[fast skiff]

💔

[cold bolt]

what's the primary weapon for strand build now

[sudden egret]

Mint or malpias

[cold bolt]

isnt this special wep

or just use them, they are better than primary ammo weapon

[sudden egret]

Yes but they are ammo efficient to be used like a primary

[sudden egret]

The last good strand primary unloved

[cold bolt]

alright, thanks man

[sudden junco]

whats a good solar rocket launcher? non exotic

[sudden egret]

hezen

[still barn]

given you can choose the order of encoutners in desert perpetual, does that mean you can technically focus farm legendaries?

[sudden egret]

makes it easier to grab a checkpoint, yeah

you can also attune loot

[still barn]

you mean buying the guns at the end?

[sudden egret]

no

attune, like make a specific piece of loot drop more often

[still barn]

I'm assuming you have to do that in the raid itself?

[sudden egret]

yeah, after you finish the epic quest, you can attune at the raid vender

[still barn]

gotcha, so it's a ways out for me atm

[remote girder]

heard stasis titan is really good now, is it worth making a build for it and what kind of build should i do, like melee or grenade

[still barn]

I've been using stasis titan for a bit with icefall mantle
been pretty solid, but invest in being able to cycle your melee and grenade over and over

[hearty owl]

When does iron banner come back

[sudden egret]

Don’t think we have a date for the next one

[remote girder]

decrypted 8 engrams all focused on synthoceps and not a single one thats melee focused 🥀

200 super stasis titan super is very good in a lot of different places due to the howl of the storm rework

Stasis super was always very high damage when you slam spammed but the wide spread of the crystals meant it wasn't applicable to many bosses, howl makes the same number of crystals but they're tightly packed together

So now you can use it in a ton of places

[remote girder]

what exotic armor would be nice, don't really ever touch stasis titan tbh

[waxen ibex]

Syntho

Also howl makes enough stasis shards per cast to instantly refresh itself if you have something to shatter the crystals

And does enough damage + damage instances that it generates the super back really quick

So stasis titan has a funny dps phase loop of just spamming howl of the storm the entire time and when not in super you just shoot icebreaker once in between howls to shatter everything

[remote girder]

don't have icebreaker, can't be bothered to farm vespers host tbh. any other weapons that would work? or just really anything that will shatter the stasis crystals

[hearty owl]

Will it happen this season

[waxen ibex]

Basically anything that'll one shot shatter works yea

Could use parasite probably with holster mod

Haven't experimented with other stuff much

You don't even need to weave anything in between but it just helps gen the super back

[sudden egret]

No clue

[remote girder]

ill keep buying synthoceps from rahool till he gives me a good one with high super then farm out for some paragon armor i guess and start working on a stasis build on my titan then

[waxen ibex]

remember you can run super font mods so you dont need 5 pieces of paragon too

not a ton of competition for helmet mods rn

iirc triple heavy handed is just an orb printer too with how strong howl is in pve

[remote girder]

rn the highest i can get my super up to is 151

[woven tree]

Good enough

Use 3 font to bring it up to 200

[remote girder]

alright

gotta get a helmet thats not tier 1

got my first tier 5 armor drop earlier which was nice

i thuoght they only started dropping at 450 though

[high lily]

t5s start dropping at 400 as pinnacle drops
once you hit 450 they become more consistent
then at 470 they drop every game with only 1 modifier

[remote girder]

no ones ever mentioned the pinnacle drop thing when i've asked before

[celest island]

Yeah when you're first starting out all the tier 5 gear you get will have a higher power than your current stuff

It's a pattern you'll realize

[remote girder]

do master lost sectors just always give you an engram on completion now?

i've gotten one every single time i've done one today

like 7 in a row

[celest island]

They shouldn't.. you're most likely on a spree of luck for the day lol

Unless something changed in the last month or two.. (don't remember hearing about this)

[waxen ibex]

Prime engrams are a fairly low chance but they're a +1 to the tier of the drop

At 350 power you start getting consistent tier 4 drops and then those have an 8%(I think?) chance to be a prime which will be tier 5

[remote girder]

is the new stasis smg from pinnacle ops any good?

got a bunch of them in my vault rn

[high lily]

Demo + Corpsebloom is decent

[remote girder]

alright

oh im out of enhancement cores and prisms, gotta farm more of those i guess so i can try to get a paragon snytho

[hearty owl]

Efrideets cloak isn’t available at all anymore?

[cerulean sail]

it was repurposed into what was supposed to be the current iron banner armor for some reason, i don't think saladin sells it anymore

[hearty owl]

Dang

[remote girder]

can i even do anything with my adept nightfall ciphers or should i just get rid of them

any good weapons to use with a howl of the storm stasis titan build? thought about wicked implement or some other stasis weapon but im not too sure what would be best

[waxen ibex]

It's slightly better than immortal in pvp

[waxen ibex]

Mint retrograde

Lol

[remote girder]

i know void titan kind of stinks but are there any fun builds with it?

[marsh whale]

what is famine modifer ? and where is it ?

[remote girder]

how much does a single font mod add?

[random cypress]

is dim down rn?

[pastel bay]

hello guys how do I unlock Hellion aspect for solar warlock?

[little pewter]

Ikora if you own the final shape

[cerulean sail]

hellion is a final shape campaign unlock

[pastel bay]

do I have to do it again, I ve done it on my hunter the campaign

[little pewter]

Ain't it a campaign for prismatic? Since ikora displays it

[little pewter]

While that's explicitly not what I said, I appear to be wrong, and you have to

[cerulean sail]

that's where it's unlocked for everything

[pastel bay]

ok i have to do it again

ill speedrun it on normal

thanks

[little pewter]

I must be misremembering it being possible for non prismatic it do it via ikora

[cerulean sail]

you "learn" song of flame and hellion through the TFS campaign

same goes for what hunters and titans get

[valid blade]

Is there a way to stop my guardian rank resetting at the end of a season?

Cz I swear it keeps resetting me

[high lily]

yea thats how its supposed to work

[little pewter]

resets happen to everyone at a scheduled, set time

[valid blade]

Ahhh okay

[rancid fern]

I mean there’s the old reliable doom fang pauldrons. There’s also the one-shot champ peregrines/invis. You can even be an ursa banner shield if that’s your cup of tea.

[high lily]

peregrine is still good on void

[valid blade]

Does it reset everyone to the same level or is it a set amount depending on how fair you rank up?

[cerulean sail]

everyone is reset to the same rank and have to work their way back up

[valid blade]

Ahhh okay

[cerulean sail]

though you will still be displayed to others as the highest rank you reached during the previous season

[valid blade]

So other than having a higher number what’s the point in it?

[cerulean sail]

good question

[high lily]

increases Pinnacle drop chance

i think you get an emblem for it now too

unless thats conquests

[uneven oracle]

as a newer player, should i grind for mint retrograde since i hear its one of the best weapons this season?

[rancid fern]

Yes, some days it’s also featured so maybe wait for that at least.

[uneven oracle]

i see it in pinnacle so i was just wondering

[ionic goblet]

what was the old get off sparrow button? i swear i never had to press E

[jaunty whale]

jump i think

[torpid charm]

Are there any demolitionist energy hand cannons?

[little pewter]

you want a list or

[jaunty whale]

doesn't seem to be any that's new gear

[waxen ibex]

Pit of heresy is one of the slowest most boring fucking things to grind for pinnacle weapons but I would definitely run it to at least get the guaranteed mint drop since a perkless mint is still the second best gun in the slot

[jaunty whale]

can look at the list in https://d2foundry.gg

[little pewter]

ignoring no longer avaliable guns:
Ancient gospel
Word of crota
Zaoulis bane
Bottom dollar
Posterity

none are tiered guns

[torpid charm]

I don’t even mind if it’s a hc just something that does well in higher power activities rhats a primary

[waxen ibex]

Word of crota still

[torpid charm]

Any others that I may have in my vault

[waxen ibex]

Uh

[sudden egret]

We don’t know what’s in your vault

[waxen ibex]

If you don't have a raid weapon from one of the easier raids what would I expect you to have in your vault

[torpid charm]

Yeah sorry guys that was pre stupid of me to say

Woild no hesitation or reckless oracle be good?

[little pewter]

if you lack a good weapon that you seek, i recommend chasing that weapon

rather than settling for something worse

[waxen ibex]

No hesitation is fine, reckless oracle is fine

Reckless oracle is better as an actual gun and no hesitation is just a stupid op support frame auto that only has peak value in groups

[torpid charm]

Any of these?

[waxen ibex]

What's the roll on your reckless oracle

[torpid charm]

Demo and under pressure

[waxen ibex]

That's awful nevermind

[torpid charm]

Yeah lol

[solemn zodiac]

this might be a boomer take and the frame may not have aged well, but it feels like BXR would do the job fairly okay, and is easy as fuck to farm for red borders

[jaunty whale]

is any of your bxr demo incan

[torpid charm]

Yes

Richocet rounds and corkscrew too

[solemn zodiac]

that's a very cool roll

[jaunty whale]

that's probably your best bet until you can get a better weapon

[torpid charm]

Alright thanks guys

[waxen ibex]

Just craft no hesitation

[torpid charm]

Alright I’ll try get red borders on it

[waxen ibex]

And you're done for a while

[solemn zodiac]

did they somehow buff the damage profile to not be pitiful ?

[waxen ibex]

It's barely under rapid autos

[solemn zodiac]

so yes even compared to bxr ? Idk how it aged ofc.
