[serene zinc]

See that's just stupid slow. I can't read that and just act like it's normal. Bungie has made their game WAY too slow

Makes getting into it 10000x harder

[steel sundial]

that's the same amount of time it took to get to power cap pre eof

if you want it to be faster you can grind reclaim a bit

[serene zinc]

That's all I am doing

[steel sundial]

i got from 350 to 520 in 3 weeks

with that

[serene zinc]

I'm just gonna farm reclaim all day all week since I'm on break

I wanna get 450 ASAP

[steel sundial]

i only played like an hour a day

every week

and i got there

you don't gotta no life it

[serene zinc]

Well every reclaim mission I go up 1 or 2 power levels, so it takes like an hour to go up 10 levels

[steel sundial]

you could also farm proving grounds while call to arms is active

[steel sundial]

times 7 that's 70 levels a week

that's 140 levels in 2 weeks

from only an hour a day

[serene zinc]

This is true, but I want to build my character before renegades

[cerulean sail]

Playing reclaim 7 times

[steel sundial]

nothing's really changing in renegades

[cerulean sail]

7 times too many

[steel sundial]

once a day?

🤨

[cerulean sail]

Yeah I don't want to play overthrow two

[steel sundial]

you people can't do anything

[cerulean sail]

[unborn cloak]

i literally just did my fifth reclaim today

[steel sundial]

type shit

[cerulean sail]

Sorry for your loss

[serene zinc]

Well honestly I'm gonna try to get to like at least 370 ot 380 tomorrow and the next day I'm gonna try to get to 400

How long is the 400-450 grind?

[steel sundial]

the exact same

[serene zinc]

Oh ok

[steel sundial]

it's faster probably with the conquests

[serene zinc]

Alright well my hope is to be 450 before the end of this week if I just don't get impatient. But I do have life stuff to do like touch grass and practice an instrument so sadly I can't fully no life

[steel sundial]

yeah that's incredibly doable

[serene zinc]

Are you being sarcastic?

[steel sundial]

no

it literally is

reset is in 2 days

[serene zinc]

Oh ok lol good

That is true and I'm excited

So basically with bonus drops, when I get bonus drops this week from seasonal hub, do those drops go to next week?

[steel sundial]

i do not know actually

[serene zinc]

Alright, well I know the weekly reset's gonna expedite things a lil so that's gonna be good

[steel sundial]

i just know you get new bonus engrams at the beginning of the week

[serene zinc]

Alright well I guess I'm gonna be ready for this grind. Thanks for the info, I really appreciat eit

appreciate it *

[silent parcel]

Has anyone noticed recently with the stasis titan howl of the storm build that shards just don't spawn sometimes from shattered crystals? It seems to mainly happen when I really start chaining melee slides back to back like I'm creating so many shards it bugs out and just stops producing them.

[runic hearth]

So um I got a catalist to a gun i dont think i own lol

it droped int eh saltmines but Now i dont remeber what gun it was looked liek a Hive based weapon

[brittle wing]

This happens when you make too many and don't pick them up

There's a limit to how many objects you can create as a player, presumably so people wouldn't abuse it to crash people who have lower end machines

[faint sigil]

My threaded specter clone doesn’t spawn any threadlings when destroyed is there a way to fix ?

[distant oxide]

does leveling slow down from 500-550?

[turbid sorrel]

nah

they changed portal to make it consistent all the way through

[steel sundial]

only spawns threadlings if destroyed while near enemies

[distant oxide]

when do we think the power reset will be? i know there is no official news on it, just looking for speculation. and do you think theyll reset to 200 still or change that too

[steel sundial]

likely at the end of renegades

[turbid sorrel]

DLC after renegades

[steel sundial]

at the end of the year of prophecy

[turbid sorrel]

so u got like a solid 6 months

[subtle swallow]

survivability wise is frost armor better than woven mail or equal?

[turbid sorrel]

woven

it could have changed but from wot i remember woven was like 45% at base

and frost armour is like 36% at 8x

[subtle swallow]

gotcha thanks

[thorny bronze]

is there any way to consistently farm for Mint Retrograde atm

[broken forge]

unless its a featured weapon, i dont think so

if its a featured weapon in an activity, just make sure you have enough modifiers and such to make it A rank and make sure to hit A rank

[thorny bronze]

thankies

[gloomy oracle]

when was the last time presage was in rotation for the weekly exotic mission and when will it come back into rotation

[covert herald]

What is this secret triumph?

[turbid sorrel]

i wanna say its secret i cant tell u that

but this is a legitimate channel

😔

[broken forge]

do you remember the places in the campaign with the darkness statues that revealed history from crow/zavala, etc

youre supposed to go to those places and listen to the lore there, i think theres five of them

[small sentinel]

I just hopped on after being gone for a month. I cam back to find that the superfluous challenge was already completed, I dont have ps plus to play online either. So, has this happened to anyone else?

I can’t tell if someone hacked my account, because the challenge wasn’t claimed when I came back. I don’t know if someone did, because I have to sign in through playstation, which I can only log into with two-factor.

[broken forge]

it couldve been auto completed, sometimes bungie auto completes challenges that are broken or when a lot of people are complaining about it

[pearl plinth]

autocompleted because we don't have access to clash

so it would be unobtainable

[small sentinel]

Thank you, I was spooked for a minute there

[zinc basin]

for each character do you have to do the campaign everytime to unlock prismatic subclass?

[high lily]

Yes

Same goes for the other subclasses

[zinc basin]

rip ig im sticking with titan forever

[covert herald]

Huh, I would’ve thought I’d listen to all of those 50 times each by now

[rare briar]

I just finished Avalon with an A-rankl but didnt got Vexcalibur, does anyone knows if I failed to do something?

[severe blaze]

yo when does renegades come out?

[lament summit]

do the shield spawning things in proving grounds count as constructs?

[pearl plinth]

2nd

[severe blaze]

Thats

[pearl plinth]

of December

[severe blaze]

Sorry typo

[pearl plinth]

the next closest 2nd

[severe blaze]

Meant to say thanks

[torn pollen]

so mint next week is about 1/12

from vanguard armory

[tame hornet]

so question, is it worth playing thru witch queen to unlock the enclave for crafting?

or are they removing crafting entirely?

[solemn zodiac]

you unlock crafting after the intro mission

you don't even need to own WQ

so yes, do it

[pearl plinth]

doesn't look like any new weapons will be craftable though

[pastel zealot]

theres still craftable exotics

like graviton spike and iirc the lightsaber

choir of one and barrow dyad will be good to have too if you dont have them already

[tame hornet]

bet, also is there any reason to play the campaign all the way through? or no?

aside from nostalgia

[pearl plinth]

one of the best campaigns they've ever made

[pastel zealot]

its still one of the best campaigns

yeah

[tame hornet]

it was when I originally came back to the game but sadly I lost access to that PSN right after lf dropped

[pearl plinth]

you need to do it to be able to get parasite too

[solemn zodiac]

other than the story being good, not necessarily

it does unlock some weapons and raid and shit

imo, might as well

[thorny bronze]

what PL do I need to reach to get all tier 5s?

[pearl plinth]

~450 and guardian rank 9 iirc

[rancid tundra]

What effect does guardian rank have?

[pearl plinth]

increases the tier of vendor drops

[rancid tundra]

Does guardian rank reset seasonally?

[pearl plinth]

under this new system, every six months (whenever a new expansion drops)

[safe iris]

the box breathing buff also applies to whisper right?

[round stirrup]

When is Renegades releasing?

[pastel zealot]

no. whisper has 'whispered breathing'

[pearl plinth]

the 2nd of December

[weak stirrup]

what's the best way to gain event rank once every challenge is complete?

[calm crane]

Should reset in December no?

[pastel zealot]

use reroll tokens on completed daily challenges to get new ones, or just complete event activities

[weak stirrup]

is salt mine most optimal, or do other activities give more xp?

I used up all reroll chips :/

[pastel zealot]

i think all activities give the same amount of xp but take that with a grain of salt

[weak stirrup]

difficulty matters?

I'm willing to do ultimate salt mines, but if notmal will give the same...

[pearl plinth]

with renegades, yes

[safe iris]

awh

[cold dirge]

what are good fragments for a golden gun prismatic dps build for hunters right now?
using nighthawk obv
but need the prismatic fragments

[safe iris]

i believe its courage (the increased light ability damage against darkness debuffed enemies)

[celest cargo]

Is the new rocket sidearm from EoF drop only from Comp, or even normal Crucible?

Like Zone control in Call to arms now

[safe iris]

yes (returned memory)

the daily chest also drops it

[pastel zealot]

well theres 2. returned memory is solar, and drops from any crucible matches. unfall is arc, and drops from solo and fireteam ops

[round stirrup]

So what’s gonna happen after this event? Intermission until Renegades?

[haughty socket]

Isnt this d2 armor based off

This d1 armor?

(Yes ik it's the taken king one

[safe iris]

arms week

bows

[haughty socket]

Arms week is fun but I really only play PvP and raids

[silent parcel]

Sorry for the late reply but man this is dumb I can't tell you how many times I have been killed from not having melees and not having shards to pick up to heal. I don't actively go pick them up cause I have the shard tracking fragment but they track to me so slowly I guess I make too many and they just disappear before I can pick them up. Well it's back to bonk titan then I guess what a shame.

[pearl plinth]

truly suffering from success

[tame hornet]

what exactly does orpheus rigs do to deadfall?

[cold dirge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/destiny2/comments/1e1l8nl/helicopter_hunter/

how do u do this on hunter im confused

[cerulean sail]

Killing tethered enemies gets you up to 50% super energy back

[tame hornet]

ah, noted

ty

[safe iris]

one year ago

probably doesn't work

[wary shore]

What’s the difference between playing d2 via Xbox app and steam?

[shut quiver]

Closest you can get to this rn would be with either speedloader slacks + area denial GL || radiant dance machines + primary ammo weapon. The former being more consistent in harder content

[cold dirge]

Also Orpheus rig now increases shadowsht

To 20 seconds

Instead of 16 right

[hearty light]

is it just me or did the call to arms score drop? I was getting 2.7m score with older runs, and even with higher stat much faster clears, I'm barely clearing 2.3m

[drifting plinth]

why does this feel like you wanted to type "shadowshit"

[shut quiver]

No. Use these modifiers for the highest possible projected score and remember to choose boons to make the run easier

[honest charm]

When are all the exotic armour buff coming

[shut quiver]

wenegade waider

[sharp kraken]

hi. hows the power level gonna change in renegade? are we gonna lose current gear power or the max power level will go up?

[shut quiver]

neither. you wont lose power and it wont go up

[sharp kraken]

nice

[hearty light]

been running this and am still really below the the threshold

[shut quiver]

when renegade launches dec 2nd or the week after renegade launches

[hearty light]

and am chunking the boss, and on heliostat am doing the first encounter skip

[shut quiver]

i think kills + clear time contribute to the final score

so maybe youre skipping ads?

as long as your forecast is 2.6m at this screen there is no issue here

[hearty light]

doesn't that only apply for fireteam and solo ops?

yeah forecast on this is 2.2m

[shut quiver]

whats your power

[hearty light]

not at power cap but I thought they got rid of that? on 517 currently

[shut quiver]

yeah thats why its 2.2 and not 2.6

they said they'd get rid of it but i dont think theyve done it yet

[hearty light]

shit, alright

though that doesn't explain my older run with us dying getting a 2.7m score

[shut quiver]

2.2m is the forecast, you can score higher than that if you clear fast and kill everything

not worth slowing down to kill everything, however

[hearty light]

yeah I get you, just I know for a fact that the older runs we did were straight up worse with less modifiers too

[cold dirge]

its not llol

i was just curious cuz thats huge

4 seconds extra is a lot of damage output while being weakened/stunnned

for possible renegades dungeon

thats why i was setting up my stillhunt goldy hezen mint rotation with shoot to loot

and also orpheus rig for shadowshot in case

[cold dirge]

whats a good exotic to run with this build

[dark mango]

rdms

and run t ghoul, sunshot or grav lance

[cold dirge]

im always running sunshot or grav lance

[cold dirge]

whats that

[safe iris]

radiant dance machines

[tawny river]

For PvP is 150 health and 60 grenade fine? (I want to be able to throw grenades a bit more for my knife) or should I just go 160 health and 50 grenade?

[cold dirge]

so rdms for silence and squal on prisma is the best?

[safe iris]

160 health 100 nade

anything over 100 is just for damage

[tawny river]

I did NOT mean 150

[rancid hinge]

Could I get some help

[rancid hinge]

How do I get to id

It

[safe iris]

no, it's just what the guy in the post was using, his infinite dodge tech probably doesn't even work now, its old as fuck

[safe iris]

read

[drifting plinth]

any of the links in the bot command i just used twice

[rancid hinge]

K ty

[tawny river]

Can't do 100 for this build

[dark mango]

no

[safe iris]

you'll survive

[dark mango]

just run goldy or tether

[safe iris]

or u can just sacrifice health

just dont expect fast regen or have a way to get health other ways

[brave canyon]

Don’t waste your mats then

Grind better armor

[silent hill]

Should I finish farming for armor this week or is it cool to wait for renegades?

[brave canyon]

I don’t think it would matter

Unless for some reason you’d want the builds put together before renegades

[fierce spear]

Depends what armor is is. Smoke jumper and all the portal armor probably won’t be as easy to come by next expansion

[drifting plinth]

oh fuck i gotta mega hardfarm smoke jumper

[silent hill]

I'm not really going full on for the set bonus just the base stats

[drifting plinth]

just didn't really do it a ton before, didn't realise it FUCK

[high lily]

good luck

[cold dirge]

then what is?

[dark mango]

goldy or tether

super doesn’t matter

[cold dirge]

oh ok

[drifting plinth]

indeed

[high lily]

im still after boots and a chest piece

[hearty light]

so as an update, heliostat gives you a better score if you kill all the enemies than if you get the skip

[wary shore]

What’s the difference between playing d2 via Xbox app and steam?

[tulip oar]

DLC ownership, native friends list

[wary shore]

oh. not much then as i dont have the DLCs on pc but on ps and xbox i do

and no one likes me tbh

[tulip oar]

Keep in mind while DLC ownership is not synced between Xbox console and Xbox PC, Silver is

[lusty flax]

Is desert perpetual hard to learn?

[high lily]

harder than the other raids but not all that hard

[calm wren]

Do you have experience in other raids?

[pastel zealot]

this shouldnt be the case. pinnacle ops are scored on objectives, and not kills like fireteam ops

[zinc basin]

how do you do this shit

[rancid fern]

Some of those harpies are glowing.

[wary shore]

that's depressing

[tulip oar]

This is the one cross save thing where it's actually Bungie's fault since they've opted to not make D2 and Xbox Play Anywhere game.

[zinc basin]

they al glow

and i kill the glowing ones it doesnt work

[rancid fern]

If I remember correctly there’s still an order to them, like left right mid, mid right left. You gotta find the sequence.

[zinc basin]

stupid game

[spare tusk]

They also have different names if im pretty sure

Kill one type and cross reference with the symbol chain above the door whether it activated or not

If not kill the other type and it should light up, then you know which type is which

[austere wasp]

Does the Glass Collector in Coil actually affect your score?

[harsh jackal]

why does my teammate get less points than me when playing together

in call to arms

[austere wasp]

Power still has some scaling for your score

[pastel zealot]

it does not

they just drop extra currency that you can use at riven for buffs and tokens

[cerulean sail]

Notice their names

Notice the given order also

[lusty temple]

hey guys
just wondering is there any forsaken nighfalls available? i have been checking for a month now
and none of them is showing up
last time it was the corrupted and it was glitched!?

[sudden egret]

don't know anyone that tracks that rotation. Your best bet is to try and do the malfeasance corrupted nightfall

[lusty temple]

yeah
where do i find that
is it available in the new portal section ?

[austere wasp]

No

[sudden egret]

it's the last step for the malfeasance quest

[austere wasp]

It's part of the quest for Malfeasance

[sudden egret]

"darkness in the light"

picked up from drifter

[lusty temple]

oh okay
thank you guys

[austere wasp]

Is it possible to hit 50 points for Heliostat, Proving Grounds, or Heliostat on Ultimate without running Extinction or Pressure Cooker?

I'm only at 473 FWIW, idk how much benefit that really provides

Alternatively is it possible to hit 100 with max mod (including those) in Salt Mines, plus HVT, but having close to 10 minute time cuz I'm not fast with my runs

[mortal plinth]

will renegade start at a specific power?

my titan hasnt been touched since january and i got no new gear on it at its at power 10

[glad crag]

No. And no power increase. 550 is the cap

[mortal plinth]

i sentenced that wrong, will the dlc have a power req? or will it boost my titan like all past dlcs

[coral folio]

I managed to get 50 points in Coil, Heliostat and Proving Grounds at around 340 power while running the GM difficulty with modifiers

I don't think either of those modifiers are in GM difficulty so it's definitely possible

[glad crag]

Did you take advantage of the catchup chest by Zavala? Regardless, I’m sure it will boost it

[coral folio]

Might've been 350 power but it should definitely be doable since you're 470

[mortal plinth]

i did at 2 am and my brain wasnt working properly so i used it on my warlock because i thought the chest was gonna be like rite of the nine

where you could claim it on all classes

so i boosted my warlock from 270 to 300

[coral folio]

It's account based power level, so if you run some activities you'll get 300 gear on your titan

[mortal plinth]

oh thats nice

[glad crag]

You can still use the daily chest of the call 2 arms event

[mortal plinth]

is there a way to get some tier 3/4 armor at power 300?

[drifting plinth]

tier 3 armor drops all the time at 300

tier 4s are primes

[mortal plinth]

which armor is farmable that also has a good set bonus?

vanguard ones?

[coral folio]

Depends on your build

[mortal plinth]

going to make a prismatic titan build focused on the arc meele

[coral folio]

Bushido is pretty nice for passive healing and Techsec is really powerful for kinetic damage

[drifting plinth]

also smoke jumper

[coral folio]

If your melee is giving you orbs of power, maybe 2 pieces of smoke jumper

[drifting plinth]

if you're doing a melee/grenade spam build

[coral folio]

It'll give you some damage reduction

[drifting plinth]

quite a lot actually

[coral folio]

Oh is it a lot?

[mortal plinth]

how do i obtain that armor?

[drifting plinth]

45% then rapidly decays towards 15% over the course of 3 seconds

[coral folio]

I haven't used it yet so I wasn't sure

[drifting plinth]

solo/fireteam ops

[coral folio]

That's not bad at all

Quite good damn

[mortal plinth]

alr thx ill farm that after im done maxing the pass

i dont remember it being this easy to max the whole season pass

in like 1 day i got to 80

[coral folio]

Just want to let you know, the final 10 levels to get you to 110 is actually 50 levels

Five levels per reward

[drifting plinth]

and with 3x heavy handed/firepower(depending on the build) you should be able to keep up an average of 30% dr all the time from this

[waxen ibex]

Call to arms gives a season pass xp bonus

And that applies to everything including the seasonal challenges

So it's gone from easy to instant and free

[craggy palm]

Seasonal passes are about $12 worth of silver right?

[drifting plinth]

$10

[mortal plinth]

so i need to use silver if i want to buy them

[hexed lynx]

Can you get banned for throwing trials matches? Even if your whole team agrees to do it?

[coral folio]

I mean, if you're buying them yeah it'd be silver

But it's still not too hard to grind it out, the biggest challenge would be doing as many seasonal challenges as you can

You've got about a week to get as far as you need

And if you own the season pass, it'll be back for you to buy the cosmetic rewards you missed with chronologs whenever Shadow & Order drops

[mortal plinth]

including the tier 110 helment?

[craggy walrus]

what are the featured raids and dungoens this week?

[waxen ibex]

Yes

[waxen ibex]

Featured raids and dungeons are gone

All are farmable now including the exotic

[craggy walrus]

oh yippee then

[coral folio]

Yeah

As long as you're fine waiting that long

[mortal plinth]

thats fine

[kind patrol]

Do you still need your highest powered items in your inventory to get powerful/pinnacle drops?

[distant oxide]

How do you get bonus rewards?

And what does the handling stat increase?

[sudden egret]

Random drop

[unique elbow]

Haven’t played in a while, did geomags get gutted or are they still decent?

[sudden egret]

Still the same but other stuff got stronger

[unique elbow]

Sweet

[sudden egret]

Also, no arc artifact mods this season

[unique elbow]

Figured, just glad that bungie didn’t nerf it into the ground

[fringe cradle]

I bought the year of prophecy bundle, and i noticed it says i get like four season passes with it. Does it give me access to the previous seasons in the monument to seasons past?

[sudden egret]

When it gets added, yeah

[fringe cradle]

oh are the previous seasons for the year not in there yet? sorry returning player here and im confused

[sudden egret]

Yeah, we are still in the first half of prophecy

[fringe cradle]

ah okay. thank you!

Is there a way i can try to "power level" the current pass with only 7 days to go?

im at rank 31

[turbid sorrel]

Do most seasonal challenges

You’d have to no life it tho

[fringe cradle]

gotcha lol

[distant oxide]

what does the recoil direction number and image mean?

exactly

the number says what? and the little triangle means what exactly too?

[tulip oar]

The direction of the triangle indicates which way the gun primarily moves. The width of the end of the triangle indicates how much it can deviate. The number is just a numeric representation of the cone. There's a whole line chart on how the number actually works, but basically if it ends in a 0/5 it should point straight up, with the higher number being a narrower cone.

So, with that example in your screenshot, it's going to generally point up, but it has a lot of potential to bounce around within that "up"

[distant oxide]

Super helpful, this was exactly what i was looking for, thank you. Say it had 100, with just a line going up. Does that mean it goes straight up with zero deviation?

[tulip oar]

Yes, but with the caveat that some guns have deterministic patterns so it may not be a 100% perfect straight line but, if it bounces at all, it'll stick to a tight pattern.

Here's the line chart I was referring to.

[hollow oak]

with flow state active, how much class stat is required to garuntee a full return

[drifting plinth]

flow state gives a bonus to passive regen

not chunk gains

so still 70

[hollow oak]

so it just speeds up the total it doesnt give more

[distant oxide]

Super helpful, ty

[zinc basin]

how does the grapple melee thing work like u use grapple and meele and do way more damage

[drifting plinth]

you use your grapple, then you use your melee ability to do a grapple melee

that melee is boosted by both grenade and melee dmg bonuses

combo blow grapple op'

[zinc basin]

i guess im doing something wrong if it's doing less damage than powered melee

[ornate halo]

i mean on base that sounds about correct? what makes grelee so strong is the amount of things that can buff it since its buffed by both nade and melee stat

but off rip a grelee wont just nuke bosses

[zinc basin]

ah ok

ill have to look that up

only just trying strand class for first time rn and this grapple thing was the first thing i tried

[crystal lagoon]

just got a notification saying destiny 1 is on sale on ps5

if i do buy it, can i still play, like, the whole game?

(story content, i mean)

https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0002-CUSA00219_00-DSTCOLLECTION001

[tame hornet]

if u can find a fireteam on the same platform you can

give or take a few activities

[drifting plinth]

yes

[ornate halo]

even on strand it is gonna be hard to get grelee to do so much damage

best is prism

[crystal lagoon]

as in, its too hard solo, or i HAVE to find a fireteam?

[ornate halo]

i mean it can be good but not crazy

[zinc basin]

oh

idk iw as playing with someone on titan doing it and it was insane damage

that's pretty much all i had to go off

[ornate halo]

at this point in d1s lifespan there isn't much that is REQUIRING a fireteam

[zinc basin]

havent looked into it or anything

[ornate halo]

with enough skill you can solo nearly everything

but for the average player, soloing stuf like raids will be hard

[tame hornet]

i mean its not bad solo, but it definitely feels like you need a team at times

[crystal lagoon]

ummm i main bows

[ornate halo]

i mean certainly in strikes or lower level content portal and whatnot then yeah banner of war and high stats will do good damage

[crystal lagoon]

ok

thank u 😁🙏

[zinc basin]

nah was the coil ultimate

i just ask questions as if i'm lower level cause i know little even tho im 528 power

[ornate halo]

ok i should say anything other than like raid bosses

[zinc basin]

ah ok those havent ever tried yet

i don't wanna play strand anyway, was only worth thinking about this stuff because i will have to play it to unlock fragments n stuff since i've only just got it

[hollow oak]

idk if this goes here but. a blight in salt mines took down the bosses shield. its worked twice now

[serene zinc]

When I reach Power 450, do I go to ultimate difficulty or stay in GM difficulty for T5 gear

[drifting plinth]

stay in gm until 470

[shell nova]

Why does it feel the amt of content for renegades is so little compared to EOF and there is like nothing in this dlc

Like I don’t even wanna play it except for the dungeon

[serene zinc]

Alright thanks

Are dungeon exotics farmable, or are there still featured dungeons

[dark mango]

they’re all farmable

[serene zinc]

Oh ok that's cool

Thanks

[twin cave]

what does velocity on wave frame nade laucnhers do? does it make the wave travel faster?

[sudden egret]

nothing important

[twin cave]

that doesnt answer my question lmao

[dark mango]

makes the projectile you shoot out travel faster

not the wave itself

[twin cave]

ok thnx

[static widget]

is this game worth playing at its current state? i havent played since tfs

[visual wyvern]

Sure why not

If you don’t like it don’t play it

[static widget]

ok just wondering ty

[cerulean sail]

Campaign, destination, new gear, dungeon

EoF was the same except raid instead of dungeon

[calm wren]

Because they’ve not really done any marketing for it

[calm wren]

The game itself is fun, especially as a new player. There’s a lot of content depending on what DLCs you get and whatnot.

[empty birch]

Um… did i just get a 6 star weapon?????

[calm wren]

It’s a bug

So yes

[empty birch]

Wth

Nice

Does it actually function as better than a 5 star

Or just visual

[calm wren]

I think so for now, but it’s very marginal

They will be fixing them

[empty birch]

Found my new crucible sword ig

[drifting plinth]

it does nothing better than t5 in pvp

[silent hill]

Are the data pads in behemoth bugged ?

[empty birch]

Mint retrograde drops from only pinnicale yeah

[silent hill]

Yes

[empty birch]

What pinnacles are most recommended to farm for it in

[rancid fern]

If it’s featured do that one, if not you can do any of them for an rng chance.

[fringe cradle]

Is there a reason to do the final shape missions on legendary other then more drops? or is there anything exclusive to it?

[safe iris]

the exotic

but you can just buy that from rahool

[fringe cradle]

so nothing exclusive?

[rancid fern]

Not really no. The legendary version of campaigns pre-EoF existed as a way to gain a large jump in power level upon completion. It also offered many rewards for infusion which no longer exist. There’s currently no reason to do older campaigns on legendary other than for the challenge of it.

[fringe cradle]

Gotcha!

ty

[waxen ibex]

You don't even get more drops really

[fringe cradle]

with renegades coming in a week im just trying to catch up on the campaigns i missed, and get as far in the season pass as i can

Are raids still on a weekly cool down?

[safe iris]

no

all legacy raids are farmable

[fringe cradle]

whoa thats crazy!

[safe iris]

current raid is also farmable for legendary weapons (including secret chests)

[fringe cradle]

I last played during witch queen. is there any other major changes i should know?

[little pewter]

...a lot

first of all each subclass has undergone the 3.0 change, we also have two new subclasses

there's a tier system for armor and guns, each tier for armor giving it better stats and for guns giving it more perk slots and slightly better versions of their perks

every single stat has undergone a rework, each number instead of each 10th number affects it, and there's two different benefits from 0-100 and 101-200

and theres a "Portal" as a hub for activities

[haughty chasm]

What exactly happened in Ash and Iron? I wasn’t here for it

And I’ve been told the exotic isn’t good

[drifting plinth]

what idiot told you that

it's busted

[haughty chasm]

The axe?

Or the pulse

They were talking about the axe

[drifting plinth]

oh

the axe is not very good yeah

[haughty chasm]

The pulse is so good

I am still figuring out how to make best use of it

Any good build synergy?

[drifting plinth]

for boss dps shoot 6 shots then detonate

[haughty chasm]

Ye

[fringe cradle]

sheeesh lol

[fringe cradle]

ive read only bad things about the portal so far

[drifting plinth]

it's pretty bad

used to be worse

[shell nova]

They’ve marketed this dlc horribly

[marsh whale]

if i join a checkpoint for warlor'ds ruin at the last part, i can still gain rewards and also possible gain the rng exotic ?

[rancid fern]

Yes, dungeons are farmable.

[high lily]

The axe is good also, and about to be better

God damn it

We love discord!!

[marsh whale]

what happened

[high lily]

Discord didn't update the chat

[maiden turtle]

should i even try and get to 400 power level by Renegades if im only 333 right now?

[serene zinc]

Once I reach 400, should I keep doing master, or do grandmaster difficulty

For farming power level

I'm tryna get to 450 ASAP, today I've gone from 320-383, so I think I'm going fast

[drifting plinth]

go grandmaster now

cap is 375

youll be able to use less mods which makes it easier

[maiden turtle]

how long tho?

[serene zinc]

Oh ok, thanks

[serene zinc]

Wdym how long

[maiden turtle]

how long did it take you to go from 320 - 383?

[serene zinc]

Like all day 😐

6 or 7 hours

Or 5

[maiden turtle]

oooffff

[serene zinc]

I'm on break so it doesn't hurt

[drifting plinth]

that's not bad

[maiden turtle]

yeah i got tomorrow off but i want to watch the stream and kinda burt out on D2 until renegades

[drifting plinth]

that calculates to 10 an hour

[serene zinc]

That's about right

Is the only point of GM mode just easier to get A rank?

[drifting plinth]

and better mat rewards

like asc shards and shit

[serene zinc]

I'm only gonna worry about that stuff once I reach 450 for T5 stuff, I have all my mats maxed out

But thanks for the info

[calm wren]

Ye I’m p sure their marketing budget got cut in half if not more. I’m seeing more tik tok ads for it tho!

[serene zinc]

All they gotta tell me is it's star wars

[drifting plinth]

id still run gm

cause master with a shit ton of modifiers is harder than gm with few modifiers

[serene zinc]

That's fair, thanks

[ornate halo]

whens reset for est now that daylight savings hit

[drifting plinth]

12

[ornate halo]

thanks

[wanton blade]

Are the points showing up incorrectly for the cta event

It says im top 10% and only getting 50 points

Wouldnt it be 100?

[quartz sun]

are there an cta weapons or rolls I should really be going for rn?

[high lily]

The sword with Eager Edge and the Spreadshot with Threat Remover + 12punch

[marble helm]

how have you leveled so fast im trying to get as high as possibl;e before renegades

[steel sundial]

submersion as well

if you dont have a good one already

[high lily]

Portal activities with the bonus engrams

Once you've done all those, farm Reclaim

[fringe cradle]

Is there a reason to get high power level before renegades? I thought it would be reset when it releases

[dark mango]

it’s not resetting

getting atleast 470 would be a good idea for t5 drops

[drifting plinth]

*450

or yeah 470 to run ult

at least 450, preferably 470

[dark mango]

i thought you don’t get t5 from everywhere until 470

[drifting plinth]

you do if you get A+

which isn't hard

[fringe cradle]

I have a ways to go then from 308 lol

[serene zinc]

Is it hard to get full aion adapter gear and farming it

Or is this loot cave I hear of good?

[dark mango]

the hard part is the mythic kepler quest

afterward u can focus whichever aion adapter piece u want at the altar and farm loot cave

[serene zinc]

Yeah I did that

[dark mango]

then you're chilling

get 450 power, grab +2 tier upgrade at altar, focus aion adapter armor and get to farming

[serene zinc]

Alright, thanks

[quartz sun]

what rolls would that be

[dark mango]

charged bolts, alh + aggregate charge

[high lily]

Charged Bolts, Auto Loading Holster + Aggregate Charge

Charged Bolts dont stack with multiple using it though, so maybe get one with Heavy Bolts aswell

[quartz sun]

okok

I will go for shotty hc first then cbow

[marsh whale]

titan melee 200 is only 15% ? what ?

[dark mango]

30%

where did u hear this misinfo

[rancid fern]

Just read the stats on the character screen. 200 is 30%.

[jaunty whale]

Mythic kepler requires fireteam members right? Since youre like -50?

[dark mango]

its -30 or -40

loot cave is very easy now

[sudden egret]

Not required but makes it a lot easier

[jaunty whale]

Ic, they rebalanced mythic difficulty campaign it seems

[iron cove]

Wtf can I use exotic cyphers for if i have all the monument exotics

[high lily]

unlocking new exotics at rahool

[proper kayak]

How are you supposed to beat the templar in VoG? Me and my friends were running 5-man and having a lot of issues. I read online that you can cleanse Mark of Negation with the relic, but none of us could get it to work (neither the grenade ability nor sword guard ability worked). It's hard juggling the oracles, stopping TPs, breaking people out of detainment, clearing the minotars and damaging the templar between the 5 of us.

[calm wren]

Kill 1 set of oracles and then use relic super to break shield. If you can’t kill before the next set of oracles, stop damaging and focus on killing the oracles, cleaning up the room, etc, until you get it under control. Rinse and repeat

During the time you’re damaging, your relic person should be focused on blocking teleports

Everyone else should stand in a well and damage the boss as much as possible

[proper kayak]

What's a well?

[calm wren]

Oh boy

Well of Radiance lol

It’s a super on the warlock solar subclass

[proper kayak]

oh wow

that would've been so nice to have

[calm wren]

Do you not have any warlocks?

[proper kayak]

we do

[calm wren]

You can probably swap to the super then

[sudden egret]

Just need one well

[calm wren]

Assuming your accounts are not completely brand new

[proper kayak]

Do oracles spawn during damage phase? Cuz i've read online that they don't but i've experienced otherwise

[calm wren]

Yes they do

There isn’t really a set “damage phase”. The damage phase is whenever you choose to destroy the boss’ shield and lasts as long as you keep blocking teleports. So you want to do it as fast as possible once you destroy the oracles, and then once you get overwhelmed or more oracles spawn, stop damaging and focus on the oracles.

[proper kayak]

also just to double check, you can't cleanse with relic?

[calm wren]

Not in that encounter, no

Gotta go to the light in the middle and cleanse at the same time

[proper kayak]

sg, tysm for the help, hopefully things go way better for us next time with this info

[calm wren]

Feel free to dm me if you have more questions

[lethal canopy]

Is this a bug?

[calm wren]

If you got those from the event pass, no, not a big

[lethal canopy]

Yeah I got from the event pass

[sudden egret]

Those come with curated rolls

[serene zinc]

Are there any like T5 guns I should be on the lookout for like super good? Or are they just specific to builds?

[drifting plinth]

mint retrograde

[sudden egret]

All weapons that came out this season can be t5

[drifting plinth]

it's so good the kinetic slot might as well be the mint slot

[empty birch]

Ok so i understand that if i bought all of my expansions on playstation i would have to buy them again on pc

But if i link accounts can i still ftp on pc and have paid on playstation?

That seems like the most likely option

Like if one of my characters is using prismatic will it not be able to use prismatic?

[high lily]

correct

[empty birch]

Alr then thanks

[high lily]

youll have access to both characters, but wont be able to access the content for an expansion you dont own

[empty birch]

Tbh

I dont really need anything other than final shape and lightfall

All the rest i can just keep owned on playstation

I dont really even use strand lol

The class itself i mean not its abilties

Oh and edge of fate ofc

[empty birch]

But i do assume i would be able to use exotics from expansions i wouldnt own like ace of spades from forsaken for example

Itll just be equipped on the char

[high lily]

as long as you already own them you should be able to equip them whenever

[empty birch]

Yeah

So realistically only thing i need to rebuy is final shape for prismatic and maybe lightfall

[odd robin]

what modifiers guarentee 10% on coil?

[coral folio]

Look through the ones that are labeled 4 and 5

Those ones give the most increased score

[ornate cipher]

What's the best way to power level? Just came back to the game and got the 300 gear

[coral folio]

Right now probably through the event Call To Arms, but that's about to end

[ornate cipher]

what specifically through that should I do?

Coil? Salt Mines? etc.

[coral folio]

I'm not sure what would be the best way to optimize it, maybe Salt Mines

I didn't grind Salt Mines personally because it got too mind numbing but that might be the fastest one

[ornate cipher]

what modifers should I put on? so many lol😵‍💫

[wanton blade]

Dude I literally am unable to get 10% for crucible

Wtf

10% for 50 points is so dumb

[coral folio]

First thing I would do is go to the boons tab at the bottom, and choose ones that'll help your build the most

Then go through everything else and look at the modifiers with 4 or 5 on it, and choose the ones you think you'd be able to handle best

I'm actually not fully sure how many of the modifiers are needed to get your power up, you might not need to put on all of the hard ones

[coral folio]

Pretty sure it's one of the most difficult ones to get a good score on, your performance needs to be pretty much perfect

Most kills, most objectives taken, least deaths, etc.

[runic hearth]

[rigid hedge]

whats the secret call to arms triumph thing?

[ornate cipher]

thank you!!

[coral folio]

Achieving a score of 310 by the end of the event

[coral folio]

Of course!

[rigid hedge]

i completed that score but it hasnt unlocked oh wait, just had to hit some buttons, it was weird cause i did things a litle backwards i got it

[shadow echo]

For Ammo generation mods do I understand the concept correctly if I'm assuming a fire primary ammo type with fire ammo gen mod will generate ammo more quickly for your other weapons when you use that fire primary?

Or does is generate ammo specifically for fire weapons more quickly in general?

[runic hearth]

Welp this is dumb I cant complete a mission cause D2 has DESIDED to not give me what i need in an area

that piping needs that plant stuff to move it and well there no plant to swuish

[sudden egret]

It will fill your ammo gen meters faster

[high lily]

there is, you have to loot around and find it

[runic hearth]

There is ZERO places to loot

[high lily]

there is not

literally turn around

[shadow echo]

So should I switch all my ammo gen mods to the weapon that is primary ammo instead of the special ammo mods since I'm using my primary ammo more to boost Regen on the other two weapons?

[sudden egret]

Yes, you should be using damage mods on your special and heavy

[shadow echo]

I want to get more ammo for my mint but I think I've been doing it backwards by putting mint ammo mods instead of my primary ammo mods bc I rarely use the mint unless an enemy tanky

[runic hearth]

Theres nothing in the previous room either asside froma red chest I ALREADYY OOPENED

[serene zinc]

So I went from power level 320-400 today, with that same energy could I go from 400-450 in one day

[sudden egret]

Yes, that is backwards

[shadow echo]

Not DMG mods ammo regenerates mods

[sudden egret]

Use ammo gen mod on primary

[shadow echo]

Gotcha thank you

[runic hearth]

There is nothing behind me nor in the previous room

[high lily]

to the left of the lasers theres a small room blocked off by more lasers

[runic hearth]

"litterly turn around"
there NOTHING TO GET TO CAUSE I NEED THAT STUPID PLANT THINGIE AND GUESS WHAT NO PLANT

[high lily]

there is a plant, its a puzzle

[high lily]

.

[high lily]

pickup the cannon from whereever you dropped it and shoot through here

[high lily]

then reload the checkpoint if it wont respawn

[violet prairie]

Will the Edge of Fate Exotic armor be available next season or will it still cost real money?

I want the titan hammer exotic but I can't justify spending however much for just that. I'm not interested in that DLC at all.

[pearl plinth]

real cash money only

[runic hearth]

no special eddition for this?

NVM it seems i own it lol

lol

[mortal plinth]

What is the current fastest way to get to 400-500 power?

[jaunty whale]

Spam call to arms events, or reclaim once the event ends

After doing stuff that has bonus drops

[round stirrup]

How do I get the chest to pop up next to devrim? Is it a daily thing?

[distant oxide]

What improvement does t6 have over t5?

[distant oxide]

Portal activities, follow the bonus engrams (green bonus pop up on the activity that you get for completing it). And events because they give their own extra drop. Thats basically it, oh and make sure you are getting a good rating (A+)

[coral folio]

Tier 6 is just a visual bug

They're just tier 5's

[vagrant frost]

Hello, is it worth for a new player to jump in destiny 2 even tho I've heard about it for a while

Or is it like too bloated or not enough content anymore as steam reviewers say

[distant oxide]

ah

[distant oxide]

a lot of the community is doomsayers, the game is great and theres so much to take in when you first play. find some friends and ask any questions you got here

[vagrant frost]

What about content

Can we say it will keep going for like another year?

[distant oxide]

Itll go on for at least another 5-10 years (likely longer)

[vagrant frost]

Awesome, I have a lot to catch up on

[distant oxide]

People say the game is dying but we still got over 100k people logging on daily

Yeah have fun with it, you dont need to grind your power asap, do the story, find exotics you like or builds you saw and go after that

[vagrant frost]

I usually play star wars the old Republic so I assume that's better

[distant oxide]

and then ask questions here, because there will be many

and a new expansion is coming out in under 2 weeks so were in a lower activity period before this big update, and still good numbers

[vagrant frost]

Haha ok will do

[coral folio]

I wouldn't say at least that long, it definitely has a good time left but it really depends on how Renegades performs and how long Sony wants to keep Destiny going since they're starting to integrate Bungie into their studios working on other projects

I love Destiny and I want it to succeed ofc, and it still has decent numbers but it really depends on the next few expansions and how Sony wants to proceed

[distant oxide]

I think if things got that bad theyd sell it to another studio (you see this happen with a lot of small mmos like trove or wizard101), its still getting revenue and has a good playerbase, until that isnt the case itll exist in some form

[distant oxide]

i agree with you, were at a low point in destinys history and they really need to hit home to bring back more players. hell, we used to have over 1m daily players for reference

[vagrant frost]

So its still easy to find peeps for dungeons?

[steel sundial]

depends on the dungeon but yeah people still play them

you won’t have much luck in the fireteam finder though

[vagrant frost]

Yeah might join a clan or something

[north gust]

What’s the trials weapon

[steel sundial]

burden of guilt

[coral folio]

Sony has already started tweaking how Bungie works as a studio and is starting to control more aspects of it, for example I'm pretty sure Bungie no longer has a CEO and just has a Head Director?

I think most likely Sony is taking over leadership themselves and will supervise Bungie more to make sure they get their shit together

[steel sundial]

trials ending in like 9 hours though

[north gust]

ye that’s fine :)

[steel sundial]

fuck i need to go to bed

[north gust]

Im like 470, would i be getting tier 5s?

Or do i needa go flawless

[steel sundial]

you should

[north gust]

I asked before but I forgot 😅

[steel sundial]

you’ll definitely get t5’s if you go lighthouse regardless of whether its flawless or not

idk ab the ingame drops but i’d assume you would also

[north gust]

Bet bet bet :) but the weapon can drop before lighthouse, im sure?

[steel sundial]

yea

[north gust]

Bet

Thanks chief, you can get some shut eye now 🫡

[coral folio]

You can still run the dungeons (they're now fully farmable for the exotics) but the other dungeon loot is kind of useless right now unless Bungie gives the loot pool a refresh to be a part of the new gear/weapon system

There's still good weapons to use but the armor is useless, and some activities require you to use new gear (or give you bonus score in activities for using new gear) so it might be a bit difficult finding people who actively want to run them

The dungeon coming in Renegades won't have this problem since it's new and will be a part of the new gear system

[north gust]

Hol on, what’s the godroll for burden of guilt, PvE and PvP

[vagrant frost]

Also a dumb question but is it time consuming? Cuz I play other games as well yk

Cuz I fear it will become a chore like other mmos

[waxen ibex]

Uh

The game right now really has literally nothing driving you to consistently play it lol

It's not really comparable to an mmo

[vagrant frost]

Aha fair enough

[waxen ibex]

The playerbase wants to treat it like one but I don't think it has ever really been built like one

[vagrant frost]

So do you think I can catch up if I play other games too

Plus I have work so can't just dedicate my life to one game yk

[pearl plinth]

there's events and stuff that may require... attention

but yeah in its current state if you're just playing casually you'll be fine

[leaden hawk]

are legend lost sectors even worth doing anymore?

[little pewter]

if you need exotics yea

[leaden hawk]

ive done 5 now and not a single exotic its fake

[round stirrup]

Any word on when the vault bug is getting patched? Inventory Is getting full

[little pewter]

vault bug?

you can access your vault just fine through DIM and such rn

[quartz radish]

Im power level 376 atm, should I keep doing fireteam ops or something else to increase my level?

[daring coral]

No downtime this week?

[cerulean sail]

Renegades coming out in a week, no point

[rancid fern]

Have you done all your bonus drops for the week?

[fast otter]

how do i get the superblack shader? and is it still possible to get?

[rancid fern]

You don’t, it’s currently unavailable.

[fast otter]

well f**k

[quartz radish]

yh

[round stirrup]

Yea the bug where if you want to put something in your vault from your character it equips it instead, very annoying

I don’t use DIM sadly so I gotta resort to the destiny 2 app

[white pulsar]

Can anyone verify whether or not you need the season pass to have any chance at a 1% score in CtA, because of the 15% score boost from season pass?

[cerulean sail]

Start using DIM

[north gust]

Anywhere I can farm enhancement cores?

[rancid fern]

Legend & Master lost sectors

Nightfalls too

[north gust]

Anywhere else? I’m still grinding for power so I passive way to get cores would be nice

[rancid fern]

Break down shards & prisms then.

[bronze storm]

Hola! I’m struggling to find info on Graviton lance (unless anyone knows a better/easier to get void weapon). I’m a new player and I know it can drop from Engrams/Xur but some sources say it’s a reward for the new light mission if you choose void. Do I need to create a new character to do that and does it still drop from this or has that changed?

[steady skiff]

Hello, I intend to return to the game and I want to ask, did prismatic warlocks got any nerfs in Year 8?

aka post heresy

[dark mango]

no

they’ve only gotten stronger since eof

[steady skiff]

so i can safely assume that lightning surge prismatic warlock is still the way to go for endgame pve content

[steady skiff]

what did bungie do to make pris warlock stronger?

[north gust]

i think the biggest change is buddies now scale with grenade stat

[dark mango]

buff buddies (arc soul, hellion, etc) by making them work with all grenade mods

[north gust]

and a few melee buffs coming in renegades :)

[dark mango]

getaway artist is a bit better than lightning surge as a result

and winters guile will likely become the new melee exotic

for lightning surge builds

[steady skiff]

so its the other way around now, getaway is not the "noob build" anymore

did they do anything to wellock? I know well dmg conversion got fixed, so wellocks can't dps that well now

along with speakers nerf and all that, wellocks are back to being well lauchers now?

[dark mango]

sanguine got a cooldown upon swapping (10s before it takes effect) but that applies to all subclasses

[steady skiff]

why tho

its like, made for swapping

[dark mango]

bungie doesn’t like loadout swapping i guess

[steady skiff]

itss neutral game is close to non-existent

such a counter productive change

[dark mango]

they made the epic raid not swap on contest for a reason

same with ult dungeons last season

instead of adding neutral game they just do this

lazy af

[steady skiff]

so bungies just try to remove swapping in higher end content?

[dark mango]

yup

there’s a chance the contest dungeon will have notswap as well

[steady skiff]

which argubly is the only place where swapping is even needed

[dark mango]

we don’t know for sure yet

[steady skiff]

iirc 90% of the content doesnt need to swap, only lowmans and crazy high end stuff needs swapping

I gues i'll wait for more changes

I really liked loadout swapping, as strange as it may sound

[dark mango]

i liked it for the build diversity

now you have to run your dps exotic with 0 neutral game the whole time while being -40 or smth

[drowsy basalt]

Is there maintenance this morning

[jaunty whale]

Personally i feel like thats the point

My opinion is hotswapping makes tradeoffs irrelevant in builds

[steady skiff]

but that's the whole point of hotswapping tho

conversely

minimize tradeoffs

and its weird

I dont see changes on nighthawk saying that "your goldie wont be compressed into one shot for 10 sec after you swap"

somehow only sanguine took a hit

[drowsy basalt]

Does anyone know if there is a server maintenance today

[dark mango]

there is no maintenance today

it’s shown in #🟩server-status🟩

[steady skiff]

disclaimer I was a warlock player before I quit so im 100% biased, but if bungie dont want hotswapping to begin with, then maybe make neutral game of some of the exotics better, or just do the same treatment for all hotswap exotics

[jaunty whale]

I think thats because of the nature of sanguine buff. Nighthawk swapping doesnt work under notswap rules. Sanguine does

[steady skiff]

then it comes back to my original argument. You dont need to hotswap for 99% of the content to comfortably clear it, but somehow for the 1% of the content that needs hotswap, they slap notswap on it

and i think hotswap promotes build diversity as well

there is no way someone will willingly use sanguine for neutral game/mechanics phase in a raid

[jaunty whale]

Mostly because of TDP contest where people were complaining that a) you had to hotswap to even get enough dps and b) people were bored seeing streamers playing menu simulator

[steady skiff]

is the menu opening that bad tho, personally I feel like staring into a blackened screen for a raid race feels worse than seeing the menu during dps

[north gust]

P sure controller players complained about the menu gameplay

[steady skiff]

and isn't that the point tho, top tier players need a way to min max stuff, and hotswap is the way to go

you cant min max much if you are stuck in one loadout

and before I quit, surge swapping (not even exotic swapping) bugged out stuff like envious and reconstruction

idk if that's the case

[jaunty whale]

It feels jank and not smooth and intuitive, as a person who does not support it

Its kind of the same reason why some people hate any% speedruns and prefer watching glitchless speedruns

[steady skiff]

but obviously surges are kinda designed for swapping as well

again I dont think anyone like to play neutral game with surges instead of having armor charges for a speical brick

[dark mango]

it’s really just an old gen issue now, ps5 players load their menu faster than most older pcs

[steady skiff]

it kinda sucks for player who like to min max tho, for a "more pleasant view experience" lets just say, and killed off a big part of end game pve

[dark mango]

you can swap around armor mods at the very least

just not the legendary armor pieces themselves or exotic ofc

[steady skiff]

does it still resets the whole envious assassin mags?

or reconstruction

[dark mango]

i believe so

[steady skiff]

wait you cant even swap the legendary pieces?

I thought its only exotic weapons and armor?

[dark mango]

it’s like this in epic dp contest

[jaunty whale]

This just my opinion but having to commit to a loadout in an activity is more interesting than being able to just change to most optimal build no matter the situation in an activity

I completely understand if you disagree though

[dark mango]

not sure if they are keeping it like this for the dungeon

[steady skiff]

I can see why people hate loadout swapping, kinda a "FOMO" thing, like not having a dedicated dps loadout makes you deal a lot less dmg

but again if you are that competitive (to care about big numbers instead of caring about clearing an encounter), I would assume you'd be fine with swapping a loadout

[steady skiff]

I like the feeling of havin the best tool for the current situation

[steady skiff]

because Im still fairly certain even with 6 people who doesnt swap loadout at all, you can still pretty comfortable clear most of the content

so the FOMO purely comes from wanting to have bigger numbers instead of "if I dont swap to dps loadout we cant clear templar" kinda situation

[jaunty whale]

Yeah, understandable. Could see the argument that trying to figure out what is the best tool for which section is interesting.

But eh. Im the kind of person that find trying to make do with what you have more interesting than rolling in with optimal all the time.

Just different strokes i guess

But bungie has been trying to cut down on hotswapping because there's quite some backlash particularly after tdp contest

[dark mango]

i forgot to mention, swapping loadouts also removes all ammo bricks on the floor

so u can’t ammo farm during mechs

[steady skiff]

yeah my final argument being, if you can already clear 99% of the of the content without swapping (so hotswapping doesn't inherently affect "average" or most players at all, and its only reserved for true end game players), why even bother trying to limit people hotswapping?

not saying that end game players are superior but if it doesnt affect the average joe clearing king's fall at all, why touching it in the first place?

[steady skiff]

that really sucks

so swaping to cenotaph is not the tech anymore

[jaunty whale]

I believe because it affects the average joes trying to run early endgame content and trying out contest raids, as well as spoiling the entertainment value of people watching streamers

[dark mango]

they made added all this to notswap for the epic raid contest, hopefully it’s turned down or just not present in the dungeon at all

but there is a decent chance it comes back

[steady skiff]

that's such a weird mindset tho, its like you joined a swimming contest as a casual swimmer, and instead of trying to improve your craft (learning how to hotswap, optimize builds), you ask the other swimmers to train less

if you want to try end game content, you should know there's a learning curve to it and try to adapt, if you dont wanna, that's completely fine, just enjoy the other parts of the game

[jaunty whale]

People do learn, the problem is you can learn something and also hate it

[celest cargo]

Hey ehm, do we have any event or something specoal to do in the last week? Smth like double loot or some different thing?

[steady skiff]

that's fair but its been around for a long while, I welcome changes but not at the expenses of some player's enjoyment (and its not game breaking per se)

[jaunty whale]

Its kinda like in basketball, there used to be no shot clock, so people can stall indefinitely via dribbling, that rule got changed becausd people found it lame

[steady skiff]

I think its somewaht different, its not good both competitively and entertainment wise (basketball), but some people do hotswap as a way to maximize and challenge themselves and not to entertain and stream it

but its also ridiculous if there's a notswap group and a hotswap group for races

but as a avid hot swapper myself I dislike these changes

I guess I'll keep seeing how the game changes instead of going back for now

I dont think they'll ever walk back on these changes tho

[jaunty whale]

Yeah thats fair for you to dislike it and i understand where you are coming from

Just gotta go with the flow i guess. Personally i dislike some sandbox changes as well but can see that the majority likes it so nothing to do but roll with it

[steady skiff]

yeah I think hotswapping 24/7 is for a minority of players, so I can see why bungie nuked it to make the majority happy

[jaunty whale]

Also i am dumb, this is questions channel. My bad gang

[drowsy oyster]

So is the Devrim chest still gonna be there after reset? Even though the event is over?

I can claim anything right now.

[vagrant frost]

Hey sry for another question, but I'm worried if the game is "dying" as they say and I'm late to the party

Is this true

[cerulean sail]

Destiny 2 game came out 8 years ago so that's up to you

[dark mango]

the chest should open after reset

[cerulean sail]

It was "dying" multiple times through those 8 years

[vagrant frost]

I just wanna be sure it will have like maybe 5 years more of content?

I'm scared it will get the new world treatment

[cerulean sail]

Well there are plans we're not privy to

[vagrant frost]

True

Cuz some mmos are going strong 20 years later

But I know this isn't an mmo

[cerulean sail]

This being Bungie's only playable game means it's not going EOS also

Destiny 1's also playable but thats not under ongoing development so whatever

[dark mango]

theres no real way to predict if it will survive another 5 years

[vagrant frost]

Cuz like my plan was to play it like maybe an hour or so a day and play other games too so idk if I catch up

I don't really feel like dedicating all my time to JUST D2

Like I also like the witcher series and AC

[jaunty whale]

My advice is play at your own pace tbh

You trying to catch up to who

[vagrant frost]

No one really but like I can't grind for 10 hours a day lol

[dark mango]

luckily for u there isnt a whole lot going on rn

[jaunty whale]

Then dont, the game content is not going anywhere, especially now that we dont have seasonal story content

[vagrant frost]

So if I only play a few hours a day, it's enough to be good in raids etc?

[pearl plinth]

maybe after a week or two yeah. you're not gonna be topping dps or anything but if you're going in with a plan of what you need done you'll be fine

[safe iris]

a wise man once said it's not about the time you put in but rather how effective you are at using the time you have

[vagrant frost]

Yeah I wanna try the whole campaign and all the content 😄

It's been on my mind for a year or so tbh

[fast otter]

is there going to be a downtime of some kind when the reset happens?

[dark mango]

no

[round stirrup]

Do we lose all our bonus drops in Renegades?

[sturdy leaf]

Heya
I gotta ask for some advice..
Should I just delete my entire vault? (Old gear only)
It's such a pain trying to keep up with the new tiers and stuff. Been avoiding destiny just to not deal with that nonsence. I'd probably only keep a few perfect weapon rolls but get rid of all armor.
Is that a shortsighted decision or fine to do at this point.. (mind you, I am only 310 power)

[visual wyvern]

Depends what you define as old

And what you think their sentimental value is

[high lily]

some old (non-tiered) weapons are still good

old armor is safe to get rid of though

[arctic nebula]

why is it that when i make a fireteam finder and press summon everyone’s gets kicked and i go back to hone screen? it’s never worked for me at all lol but when i join others and they start it just works perfectly

[visual wyvern]

Just invite ppl from the finder dont summon it

[arctic nebula]

oh okok

[pearl plinth]

up to preference really. older gear is still viable because we simply don't have many new gear equivalents, and they're only really powercrept once you hit tier 4 and 5 for the limited weapons we do

[sturdy leaf]

So armor is ok to remove completly?

[dark mango]

after u start getting t3 armor with the stats you want yeah

[pearl plinth]

new armour is functionally better than old armour in every way. might want to keep some exotic rolls if they're particularly good though

[safe iris]

just look at what doesn't naturally roll

[sturdy leaf]

Gotcha, ok
All armor goes and I'll see if I can get a good new set durring legend renegades campaign

I'll delete 90% of .y weapons too. Just gonna keep raid ones since I don't raid anymore and crafted ones to save the upgrade mats

Tyy

[rocky epoch]

how can i search for an encore legend in fireteam finder? not the pinnacle one, or i just host an pinnacle and then start legend? 🤔

[arctic mulch]

When do server reset/go down for maintenance

[solemn zodiac]

#🟩server-status🟩

[little pewter]

if the channel says nothing: it means nothing

if it says something: it means something

[arctic mulch]

So it goes down in an hour? The channel doesnt show any updated info

[solemn zodiac]

why would absence of information mean that there is information to be updated ?

[little pewter]

_ _

[winter flame]

hello

do you guys know how to farm season pass xp?

I just got the new malpais and I really want the catalyst but I need 20 levels

[fierce spear]

Seasonal challenges and bounties

[winter flame]

thank you

[flint magnet]

when is the stream?

in 30min?

[sudden egret]

90 min

[flint magnet]

Alright ig I will do some d2 until then

[empty birch]

If i already made a character on my pc version but i merge my playstation characters and pc ones do i pick which one will take precedence

[dark mango]

you choose which ones to override yeah

but in doing so you delete those characters from your account permanently

[sudden egret]

It’s not a merge, one account will be active on both

[empty birch]

Alr thank you

[serene zinc]

Are bonus focus weapons daily or weekly?

[sudden egret]

Daily

[empty birch]

Stasis doesnt require beyond light right?

[ivory oriole]

Your character is already holding 9 emblems

[blissful arch]

Yes

[ivory oriole]

Yes, from collections

[pulsar hemlock]

how long does the pit of heresy pinnacle last? until final boss?

[blissful arch]

It only first encounter I think

Maybe wrong 🤔

[pulsar hemlock]

yes you can pull them from collections

[pulsar hemlock]

ill do it now and find out

just wanted to estimate how long it will take me

[blissful arch]

Probably only 10 - 15 minute

Maybe not even

[fierce spear]

Start until end of chamber of suffering

[icy summit]

the dungeon pinnacle ops are just one encounter of the whole thing yes?

[blissful arch]

Ya including transition part

[rancid tundra]

Is it random?

[harsh jackal]

why are all these already claimed? I didnt do a single quest this week (do i not get these this week?)

[rancid tundra]

They don't look like they've been completed, try do one of them and see if the bar fills up

They do look a bit different from the normal things

[honest charm]

Are the hunter gunpowder buff and golden gun only on solar or also on prismatic?

[sudden egret]

both

[winter coyote]

If I complete the Kepler legendary campaign on one character does this mean that , I get the new eof exotic armor pieces on all 3 characters ?

[dark mango]

no

u need to run campaign on all but you can get the exotic from sieve too

[winter coyote]

If I complete the campaign on one , do I gain access to the sieve on the others characters. That I haven't completed?

[sudden egret]

you can have a friend load you into sieve if you didn't beat the campaign

[winter coyote]

Oh ok thanks

[winter coyote]

Is there an event this week ?

[visual scroll]

Call to Arms event has recently ended so no

[serene zinc]

Which armor sets are actually worth getting like a full set of, so far I know of smoke jumper, aion adapter, and techsec

[severe epoch]

is sieve broken rn?

im loading into it but nothings going on after it

[drifting plinth]

you need to go fast

[severe epoch]

its not even starting

theres no like quest popup

[ripe nova]

why is the destiny 2 Eververse shop so confusing? why cant you sort by ghosts, or ship, or armors?
i want to (maybe) buy the vex-holo armor for warlock that i missed a few weeks back, and i just cant find it

[tulip oar]

The holo armor is from the first half of Edge of Fate, so it's not available right now. It'll likely be in the Archive starting next tuesday

[ripe nova]

ahhhh ok

[dark mango]

for pve just smoke jumper and aion adapter

and those two are good because of the 2 piece bonus not full set

[rancid tundra]

you can do them

[solemn zodiac]

I think you can

I seem to remember some kinda search function somewhere

[rancid tundra]

you can filter search the archive

[solemn zodiac]

Oh it's only the archive? Fair enough then

[visual scroll]

Why was the praxic blade said to be primary but it's using secondary ammo?

[harsh jackal]

best kinetic legendary?

[deft granite]

It’s in the Kinetic/Primary Slot, doesn’t use Primary Ammo

Mainly called the Kinetic slot
