[spark briar]

well ive got screen shots and stuff

i just came back to the game i stopped when edge of fate came out and im unsure why my golden gun with celestial is doing less dmg than my still hunt shot

[waxen ibex]

youve shown nothing about build, what activity this is happening, anything lol

[spark briar]

im in the shooting range

[fathom marten]

Bug, we think, with the shooting range

[spark briar]

i wouldnt say i have a build tbh its just nighthawk with golden gun

im assuming the dmg is supposed to be higher than my still hunt shot

[waxen ibex]

what artifact mods

[spark briar]

i dont have all the mods but ill send an ss in dms

[waxen ibex]

you can send pictures in this channel

why dm me

[spark briar]

oh i did not know that'

i dont think any of this changes it

i was just confused why its doing less dmg lol because its supposed to do more

[wet flame]

How is outbreak better that barrow dyad

[waxen ibex]

just seems like golden gun damage is bugged in shooting range against boss enemies

maybe other supers too havent checked them

take nighthawk off and look at the number and you'll see what i mean lol

[spark briar]

ok tysm

[waxen ibex]

still hunt damage after the recent buffs definitely is close to nighthawk on normal red bars though

bosses it should be quite a bit less due to combatant scaling

[still barn]

any idea when gizmo weft or king orfeo will become available? light.gg just says its from events

[waxen ibex]

gizmo weft is pretty obviously the call to arms gun

and it's bow arms day so

king orfeo is arms day

the event format will likely be identical to all of EoF where they pick 2 of the 6 event weapons per event to have in pool

[still barn]

do we know roughly when those two events will happen?

[waxen ibex]

not really

call to arms will be with the midseason

but like submersion was the call to arms gun

and was available all ash and iron as a rare drop from events

[pale musk]

is Techsec gear obtainable rn

[raw hill]

;d2compedium

[waxen ibex]

dawning will probably have gizmo but at the same rarity where you get like 1 over the whole event

[raw hill]

ummm, anyone remember what the command is T_T

[waxen ibex]

same way i got 1 submersion in all of fotl

[raw hill]

thanks ❤️

luv u

[still barn]

no problem Chibi

[turbid talon]

The primary issue is moreso that you're not a Regular. Regulars can use commands outside of #stats-and-commands, but one who is not must use them within that channel only. That channel does, however, have a list of available commands in the pins.

[raw hill]

*nod

[waxen ibex]

can confirm dawning will have it but it'll be rare as fuck

[plush viper]

Anyone know the health of the corrupted puppeteer?

[still barn]

cool, I'll probably be farming dawning anyway since it has some decent weapons in there, so who knows what my rng will gift me

[waxen ibex]

325,278

[plush viper]

Thanks I was looking for so long

[plush viper]

Is there a place I can just find the numbers?

[still barn]

that feels like such a weirdly specific number

[waxen ibex]

boss damage sheet here has it all

[plush viper]

Thank you so much

I love you ❤️‍🩹

[waxen ibex]

consider they pretty much tune bosses by like simulating a perfect damage rotation of the expected balance patch and then subtracting 15% to get what they expect people to do usually lol

so the numbers are all just like that

[still barn]

interesting method, fair enough I guess

[plush viper]

Is that why dp was so hard?

Because wasn’t the delta like 15 higher than it was supposed to be

[still barn]

iirc dp was just overtuned

[waxen ibex]

i mean that's obviously not what they actually do but part of the process of balancing it is having playtesters go through the phase and see how much damage they can do on an infinite health version of the boss

so bosses arent going to have nice round numbers for health ever really

[waxen ibex]

multiple mistakes were made at the same time to cause tdp's contest mode

playtesters were using a weapon that was bugged and disabled for contest mode, power delta was fucked up

[weak cave]

how can you focus weapons for renegades?

[steady skiff]

does the lootboxes in lawless frontier can be saved and redeemed at once later?

[waxen ibex]

no

[waxen ibex]

credits

[weak cave]

oh you can jut buy them thats all?

[pulsar hemlock]

which promotion that gives you this ship?

[waxen ibex]

yes

[weak cave]

gotcha

[waxen ibex]

hearts = some bungie foundation charity donation thing

[pulsar hemlock]

where to go for the foundation

[fathom marten]

Twitter. They usually post a specific link for it because it changes yearly

[waxen ibex]

you are in luck because this is actually the campaign they are doing rn lol

or the one about to happen

those were just added with renegades so it might be game2give 2026

[forest dagger]

How would I know if I did fire and ice on legendary the first time ? I don’t remember

[waxen ibex]

triumph

look at the triumph

i already told you to

i think

[forest dagger]

No I don’t ask about that yet

[waxen ibex]

i might be confusing you for someone that asked the same question

ok my bad

[primal notch]

Does anyone know how to get decent hand cannon currently like fatebringer ?

[waxen ibex]

check this on the seal

[waxen ibex]

you can still get fatebringer, what exactly do you need your hand cannon to do

[primal notch]

How can I get it ?

I just want a good legendary hand cannon pvp that's not rose

[forest dagger]

Ok good I have the triumph

[waxen ibex]

vault of glass

[waxen ibex]

ok so just go get mos athanor iv

it's literally just a crucible drop and competes with igneous hammer

[forest dagger]

You get a new exotic from it I thought. I don’t think I did

Apart from the lightsaber

[waxen ibex]

is this your first or second character doing legendary campaign on

[forest dagger]

First

[waxen ibex]

completed triumph should mean the bartender gives you the armor exotic

idk

[pulsar hemlock]

this?

[waxen ibex]

yeah

[primal notch]

Is that the void hand cannon ?

I'm looking for kinetic or stasis

[plush viper]

Oh this spreadsheet is so beautiful

[waxen ibex]

genuinely the only one available is fatebringer from vog, otherwise trials will have a new strand kinetic hc on the 19th that looks very good

only other one i could recommend is the modified b-7 which can 3 tap from neutral like sightline survey

banshee should also just have a good rose you can pick up

[dapper brook]

You can pull malediction from the kiosk

Shaxx sells survivors epitaph or should anyways

[waxen ibex]

idk i dont have fluency in broke ppl hand cannons

you take it from here

[dapper brook]

I just looked at d2 foundry tbf

[primal notch]

Can I get solemn rememberence?

[dapper brook]

Nah not anymore

Are you looking for any kinetic slot hc or does the energy of the weapon have to be kinetic

[primal notch]

I'm looking for a good pvp hc that goes in first slot can be stasis or kinetic

[plush viper]

Zamn I knew koregos had a lot of health but that is horrifying

[dapper brook]

Oh a pvp hc?

[plush viper]

756??

[dapper brook]

Yeah use malediction

[waxen ibex]

keep in mind the phase length too, the one phase dps is a more realistic number to look at for expectations

koregos is also a punching bag

[drifting plinth]

better to use pure poetry

[primal notch]

use what ?

[dapper brook]

Can it be exotic?

[primal notch]

No legendary

[woven tree]

fatebringer is ok

it has decent pvp perks

rose from banshee

[waxen ibex]

do you not have the weightgate roll of rose from banshee

[plush viper]

Hmm you think the dungeon boss(‘s) are gonna be similar to puppet and kerrev or higher?

[dapper brook]

This is true

[woven tree]

austringer(probs still farmable at legends tab)

[primal notch]

I got the rose gun from banshee and it's great but I don't want to use it

How do I farm austringer ?

[dapper brook]

Wait do you have access to the 30th anniversary dungeon @primal notch

[primal notch]

Yep

[waxen ibex]

everyone does for the next week

[dapper brook]

Eyasluna is a really good stasis 140

[waxen ibex]

wait for presage to be in the legends tab rotator in like a month or something

[primal notch]

I got that

[dapper brook]

Gets rangefinder which was just buffed

[waxen ibex]

yeah eyasluna is okay

judgment is also okay

you can still farm that in prophecy

[primal notch]

I watched eyes Luna tier list was a

[waxen ibex]

i think

[primal notch]

Some dude put it at A tier our of HC pvp

Not S

So it's alright

Not great

Fatebringer is great

[dapper brook]

I would say eyasluna is top tier now bc of rangefinder

[waxen ibex]

i feel like if you are saying you dont want to use the rose you have but following a tier list i dont know what else you tell you here lol

[dapper brook]

Shit I might farm another one

[dapper brook]

That was probably before the rangefinder buff

[primal notch]

My little sister uses rose

I want a different one

I got headstone on my eyes Luna n I don't like it

[dapper brook]

Not a pvp perk

[little fable]

John destiny? Yeah I’m doing whatever that guy says he made the game

[waxen ibex]

but is it better than austringer lets be real

[modern wasp]

why is all my content defaulting to grandmaster? i have 0 intrest in stressing that hard? how do i permently change this?

[dapper brook]

Eyasluna can’t get ballistics lol

[fathom marten]

There's the #titans-foundry which is dedicated to Titan stuff

[waxen ibex]

blame d2foundry

[dapper brook]

But like eyasluna looks better so like

Eyasluna top tier

[woven tree]

[waxen ibex]

erm, nope!

[misty sentinel]

anyone else fine when they play alone but as soon as you matchmake or play with friends ads start to teleport around, lightsaber throw not working, grenades not throwing (hunter specific) but acension not killing or affecting anything, grapple goes invisible, threaded spike going invisible, and funnily enough when in void invis youre not actually invisible

[dapper brook]

Hot rod red mogs unfortunately

[misty sentinel]

are these known bugs right now or am i just really lucky?

[dapper brook]

It’s just fact

[little fable]

Oh sorry it was hidden! On my end

Apologies

[fathom marten]

No worries, it's a new channel too. This one is fine to ask in but that channel is built for discussing class stuff specifically

Same with the Hunter and Warlock channels

[plush viper]

the invisible one happened to me but none of the other ones

and happened when alone

[little fable]

It’s a good thing! Considering I have played nothing but titan for so many years learning and making hunter/warlock stuff I will need any help lmao

[misty sentinel]

the invisible one seems to happen all the time but its like as soon as i matchmake with other players im at high ping but im not actually at high ping

[forest dagger]

How do I know if an activity has invasion enabled?

I need to farm deathameks

Deathmarks

[waxen ibex]

yellow border on bottom

contested zone always invaded

[forest dagger]

Okay that’s what I thought thanks

[drowsy oyster]

Have they made any mention of reducing the required number of daily orders? After a few more days with it, I stand by original take. 15 is excessive.

[waxen ibex]

lemme guess, only playing lawless frontier really?

it's mostly an issue of lawless frontier having bad bounty tuning

in other modes it is far better about giving you orders you will complete without changing anything you're doing pretty often

so one crucible match will easily complete like 3-5 orders

im sitting on 3 legendary orders rn just because ive cycled through so many playing crucible today and legendary ones seem to ignore that tuning

commons also just get randomly completed when you finish crucible games

since other modes have more chances to adapt loadout

[steady skiff]

does heat weapons have extra damage against powerful combatants?

[cunning heron]

I’m a completionist and I was wondering if most of the legendary weapons and armor are still obtainable. If so where do they drop

[misty mulch]

the new dungeon is gonna be a power delta, not a set power level, right?

[waxen ibex]

even if it was a set power level contest is 370 which is the same as the legendary campaign

and master dungeons are always fixed delta

[dapper brook]

Yes

[steady skiff]

do you know the exact dmg increase?

[fathom marten]

You're gonna be disappointed: A lot aren't available anymore. Of what is still available, you've just got to do every activity you can. Raids, dungeons, portal activities, anything

[cunning heron]

Ok thank you. How much is a lot? 1/3 of the collection maybe ?

[steel sundial]

15%

roughly

[dapper brook]

Not off the top of my head but it was recorded by aegis in one of his docs prob

Yeah

[steel sundial]

dynamic heat weapons have up to a 32% increase

[dapper brook]

That’s crazy ngl

[dapper brook]

That’s crazier

Why did they do that

[steel sundial]

and balanced heat weapons (which i dont think we have any of yet) are around 15%

[dapper brook]

The smg

[fathom marten]

Echo, do you have an answer for this because I don't

[steel sundial]

um, laser hurt more than booet

[waxen ibex]

dynamics have a base damage increase because their heat characteristics make them have shitty mag size + reloads

[dapper brook]

That’s not how it works! My immersion!

[steady skiff]

I do have aegis' docs but I cant find the exact tab where its recorded

[steel sundial]

most weapons are still obtainable through dares

some like the black armory weapons are not

(as far as i'm aware)

[waxen ibex]

dynamics also passively cool like shit

[unkempt marsh]

does the lightsaber hilt's exposed crystal change color with different blade colors?

[steel sundial]

and all the old raid weapons

[steel sundial]

do you mean when you don't have any ammo

[unkempt marsh]

no, on the hilt. i only have the green blade, you can see green bits

if i use orange, will the green bits also be orange

[dapper brook]

Okay but the dynamic perfect vent thing is just disregards this

[steel sundial]

uhhh i don't know actually

[unkempt marsh]

no one seems to lol

[steel sundial]

i havent really looked at it that closeley

[unkempt marsh]

im sure ill unlock more colors soon

[steel sundial]

you get blue for doing the praxic path quest

[waxen ibex]

i dont know about the ornaments

[steel sundial]

oh sick it does

[unkempt marsh]

thank you!! id imagine they do as well

no shaders is sad but holy shit its so fun lol

[waxen ibex]

the ornaments are more dubious but on the icon the purple stuff looks unlit, so im guessing they do

[pulsar hemlock]

is spider actually a fat fallen?

[steel sundial]

crystals at the bottom

[unkempt marsh]

yes and dont you dare disrespect him

spider is the best

[waxen ibex]

yeah but awoken shit also just glows purple so who knows sometimes lol

[steel sundial]

he's a little chubby but his chair makes him look a lot bigger than he actually is

[pulsar hemlock]

damn

[unkempt marsh]

take a close look at his model, youll see why hes called spider

[fathom marten]

I don't think it's a third but I could be estimating wrong. Through the api, there are 1402 weapons and 2909 armor pieces, not including exotics for either, which are never going to be unobtainable anyway. Maybe at most 10% aren't available. Often, Bungie might make a reprised version of an old weapon. If you care about just having some version of a weapon, that should suffice. If you care about having every box in the collection tab be filled, that's just flat out impossible.

[steel sundial]

armor is a MUCH bigger one

[waxen ibex]

he's actually just a normal-ish looking baron

[steel sundial]

a lot of armor is unobtainable

since the legacy raids had like 5 different sets

each

[waxen ibex]

what armor is actually fully unobtainable now other than nuked raids

all the seasonal shit is in ada

[steel sundial]

old destination armor

[waxen ibex]

is in ada

[steel sundial]

oh i guess ada has those

[pulsar hemlock]

big head, legs on his chair

[waxen ibex]

the only thing not allowed to go in ada is endgame content stuff

[steel sundial]

nevermind i forgot about ada

so i guess the only weapons that are truly unobtainable are just the old raid and destination weapons

all the old seasonal stuff is in xur and dares

[waxen ibex]

and oddly, holiday stuff that hasnt been reprised

like minor leak from api since the weapon ornament is in bd calendar im pretty sure this feb is the first time the crimson days bow will be available in years?

[steel sundial]

man i'd kill for a kindled orchid

[hoary holly]

How do you get more abilities and stuff for prismatic Warlock?

Also should i have skipped everythint up unti the final shape cuz it looked cool?

[woven tree]

there is a side quest at the landing zone near the ghost

there should be some flags around that you can do like
Home part 1
Homer part 2

ect ect

just tp to your ghost at paleheart and look for side missions

[hoary holly]

Got it thanks grand mage Merlin

[woven tree]

[thin spade]

what is this guys build someone on my team keeps activating amplified

[steel sundial]

what class

and is he using the lightsaber

[thin spade]

im playing with an arc warlock and arc hunter neither of them are using lighrsaber

[fathom marten]

Arc Hunter is probably using Ascension

[steel sundial]

likely ascension

[dusk steppe]

Does wagering increase odds of getting the red saber?

[steel sundial]

no

[red latch]

Sooo how’s destiny doing vs last season? About the same?

[thin spade]

what is ascension?

[fathom marten]

Arc Hunter aspect

It amplifies allies around it

[steel sundial]

nah actually they fixed a lot of stuff and genuinely cooked with the campaign

[fathom marten]

^ is what Ascension does

[red latch]

But is it mostly the same old?

[steel sundial]

not really

power grind is super fast, you can get max level in like a day or two

they even just brought back gms

[red latch]

Hmm…

[steel sundial]

old raids and dungeons are still useless but that's changing soon

[red latch]

Should I fall back into it again…

[steel sundial]

theres a lightsaber...

[red latch]

I’ve been on off since like the season with strand

[drifting plinth]

that's like playing all day though

probably a week or two if playing more casually

but still

[red latch]

And man each one feels like it just burns hard

Meh prob still not it yet

I’ll wait a year or 2

[steel sundial]

nah its like

8 hours a day

[drifting plinth]

for me that's considered like all day

you could do it in 2-3 weeks playing an hour a day

easily

[steel sundial]

i think a year ago that'd be reasonable for me

[waxen ibex]

all dlc and dungeons but renegades are free for the next week as part of open access like they did right before lightfall release

btw

[steel sundial]

now i'm in the trenches

[waxen ibex]

also the bulk of the content for this year rn is f2p

[pulsar hemlock]

is this worth doing? i killed an enitre army then it counted 10% then i died

its annoying

[cerulean sail]

you can do this in the whisper mission, in the section that spawns shadow thrall forever

[pulsar hemlock]

holy ur smart asf

but how many do i need to kill?

[waxen ibex]

500

[cerulean sail]

large amount

[pulsar hemlock]

bruh

so im seeing 20 mins in there?

[cerulean sail]

so large it feels like it takes forever

[waxen ibex]

it takes like 20 min yeah

[pulsar hemlock]

whats the professional payout

is it gna give me ciphers and mods for saber?

[thin spade]

how do i get efrideets iron cloak

[cerulean sail]

yellow crystal

[fathom marten]

Don't think you can anymore. If you can at all still, it'll be whenever Iron Banner is around

[forest dagger]

Who else keeps putting stuff into their vault when they mean to equip it

It’ll help me feel less stupid if someone agrees

[pulsar hemlock]

ooooo wb exotic one

[cerulean sail]

random exotic i think

i forgor

[waxen ibex]

they fixed the vault mode bug finally and turns out people got used to it working like it did and now it sucks again

[waxen ibex]

normal exotic order rewards

[thin spade]

god damn it

[waxen ibex]

random exotic armor drop + chunk of bright dust + ton of pass xp

[pulsar hemlock]

does it gives bright dust

[waxen ibex]

i got like 5 levels off it

[forest dagger]

Is lord of wolves good. Prob for pvp

[waxen ibex]

its good in pve

[thin spade]

guys im almost light 400 what do i grind the balls out of to get to 450-500

[forest dagger]

Me

Are death marks a rare drop or something? I keep doing the Venus jobs and I’ve gotten none

[fathom marten]

Yeah, I don't see Saladin selling it on light.gg anymore. He had it for a while but they changed that in Edge of Fate, I think

[thin spade]

so

[waxen ibex]

they drop in the contested zone

[thin spade]

how am i supposed

to get cool capes now

where are the dope capes at

[waxen ibex]

oh

the reason that armor isnt in legacy focusing

is becasue the s27 iron banner armor was meant to be a reprise of that set

[hallow karma]

how to get relativism?

[waxen ibex]

they changed it to an eververse set because of backlash

so now it's in limbo

[fathom marten]

Dual Destiny mission in the Pale Heart. I'd recommend finding a guide and someone else to do it with

[waxen ibex]

they said the original visuals of iron beryllium will be available in a "future update"

[forest dagger]

Yeah

[waxen ibex]

so you'll be able to get it at some point

[thin spade]

i got the same people answering my questions all the time dallagen and squid are goats

[pulsar hemlock]

its for pve, its good but not as good as it used to be

ammo runs out afer like 3 clicks

[forest dagger]

Tragic

[pulsar hemlock]

and the damage is less

[hallow karma]

ohh thanks

[fathom marten]

If you find a cloak that you like, I can tell you where to find it, if still possible

[pulsar hemlock]

its like a good option if u dont have any options

[forest dagger]

For real it’s like the same people all the time answering questions I love it

[thin spade]

a cloak i really want is something like

let me look it up before i say a random word

[waxen ibex]

wait saladin sold the y1 ornaments?

[fathom marten]

He did

[waxen ibex]

huh i didnt know he ever did that

[fathom marten]

Up until like Edge of Fate

[cerulean sail]

used to

[fathom marten]

Could turn in engrams for ornaments

[cerulean sail]

back when vendors existed

[waxen ibex]

well uhh, im guessing it'll get readded to him when the next IB rolls around

[cerulean sail]

hey i doubt that

[thin spade]

if you look up the name krypz on youtube the cloak he has in his profile picture is dope af but i cant find it online

[waxen ibex]

they did explicitly say the visuals would be made available

they only pulled it because the armor was literally a recolor of that ornament set

[cerulean sail]

oh right after they tried making it armor

[waxen ibex]

oh you will never get that one sorry

[thin spade]

bro you kidding me

[waxen ibex]

the model itself will be available next summer but that's the 2018 solstice glow

and they will not ever bring back 2018 or 2019 glows afaik

[steel sundial]

we don't know this for a fact

[thin spade]

i literally bought this game the week it came out i wish i didnt stop playing everytime i come back for a week

[waxen ibex]

i mean they sell past year ornaments in eververse and last solstice was literally the same armor for a 3rd time with new glows

[fathom marten]

Solstice Cloak (Majestic), I think, is the name of it

[cerulean sail]

don't worry you would only have used it for a week and then found another cloak

[thin spade]

what is the next event that comes out where i can get a cool cloak is there a christmas event

[steel sundial]

i meant that theres no guarantee that we'll get lustrous back

[thin spade]

fair enough

[waxen ibex]

2019 was the same armor with diff glows, and then 2025 was a white version of 2019

they will 100% sell 2025's glows in ev next year

[thin spade]

one on the left is better

[waxen ibex]

i doubt 2018/2019 get re-released

[cerulean sail]

there is Dawning coming up

[fathom marten]

You can likely get the cloak during next Solstice, but the glow will be impossible

[thin spade]

what month of the year is solstice usually out

[fathom marten]

Summer

August

[thin spade]

is there gonna be a destiny 3 or is spending money on this game still worth it

[cerulean sail]

if there was going to be a destiny 3 it was after The Final Shape, it's a bit late now

[hexed canyon]

am I going insane or does the graviton forfeit exotic only work on void and not prismatic

[thin spade]

thats what i thought before i quit i quit during lightfall and seen the final shape dlc coming out i thought there would be a new destiny

[waxen ibex]

it doesnt work with stylish rn

it's a bug

[hexed canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-spongebob-head-bang-gif-15984525

[waxen ibex]

it will actually work if you equip stylish after equipping forfeit

[cerulean sail]

they had said that the final shape was not the end for destiny and definitely not the end for destiny 2

[waxen ibex]

but that has to be done every time you load into an activity

[hexed canyon]

d2 is here 2 stay and renegades is pretty good

its like on the level of witch queen me thinks

[waxen ibex]

it is also fairly evident they have much larger plans in the background they dont wanna talk about imo

the live team is very obviously doing what they can with very little rn

[thin spade]

im caught up in all the story except edge of fate should i do it or nah

[waxen ibex]

and we know the d2 dev team is like 500 people

[cerulean sail]

they're also still working on getting Marathon out

[waxen ibex]

no

[hexed canyon]

edge of fate is III's crazy McGuffin hunt to find out why the world is dying

[waxen ibex]

people need to stop acting like marathon is a gigantic game

marathon team peaked at like 300 people when d2 was 550+ strong at the same time

it's a way smaller scope game in the first place

it has like 4 maps and extraction shooters are 50% menus

[cerulean sail]

[hexed canyon]

renegades is better then eof imo

[waxen ibex]

that's the only reason the game has been able to pivot so hard in the last year

[thin spade]

im 398 light and it feels like its taking forever just to hit 400

[waxen ibex]

they also just moved a couple of the big project leads back to the destiny team after years of working on marathon

like the guy that led the design team for every raid pre-eof other than ron (with the context that salvations edge was largely designed shortly after vow)

[peak adder]

I noticed my voice warlock had 2 grenade and melee charges my exotic is Nezarics sin did they change something with how it works

[waxen ibex]

the charged grenade aspect gives +1 charge now

[unborn river]

Do we know if the praxic blade deflects with the artifact perks "power from pain", "singularity blade" and "void infestation"

[forest dagger]

Why am I 1v4ing in invasions?

[fathom marten]

That shouldn't be possible

[forest dagger]

There’s literally 4 guardians

[cerulean sail]

🤨

you and the 3 others

[forest dagger]

Maybe but they weren’t killing each other

Only teaming me

[cerulean sail]

they're a fireteam of 3, you're invading them

[forest dagger]

Oh I’m the invader

Obvi

[cerulean sail]

well if you're invading then yeah lol

[forest dagger]

I thought it was just a pvp thing

I didn’t put that together lol

[fathom marten]

Power from Pain and Void Infestation don't need any specific method of killing. Singularity Blade needs melee or sword hits. I don't know if the reflection counts as a sword hit.

[forest dagger]

Do they know I’m there or can I be sneaky

[waxen ibex]

they are told you're there

[fathom marten]

And they can ping your location

[cerulean sail]

the game announces your arrival and if they have a recon shank it can mark you for a bit

[waxen ibex]

they cant see where you are without scanner droning you though and you dont have the gambit outline

so you can just cheese with snipe or something

[forest dagger]

That big pulsing bubble always how they see me

[fathom marten]

The game also pings you every once in a while without the recon drone

[forest dagger]

Imma be sneaky

[thin spade]

whats the best smg in the game obtainable right now

non exotic

[fathom marten]

Fast Talker

[cerulean sail]

never seen this happen

[waxen ibex]

objectively fast talker

best smg ever released in pve and pvp

[fathom marten]

It does not happen a lot but it's there in case no one has a recon drone, I think

[thin spade]

my fast talker has demolitionist and crystaline corpsebloom is that good or ass

[waxen ibex]

its more so people dont go hide in a corner for 7 minutes just so they never know when you're gonna show up

[cerulean sail]

but in the reveal they said you could just camp it out and take them by surprise

[fathom marten]

You'd either want something with Attrition Orbs or the combo of Delicate Tuning and Tap the Trigger

[waxen ibex]

oh i think it might also for using the invader warp points or something

bc i think those are a thing

[thin spade]

the other slot on it is attribution orbs with master of arms or the crystaline one

[forest dagger]

Do you get the red lightsaber crystal from the chest at the end or by depositing those boxes

[fathom marten]

You get it from doing Invasions. Winning or losing, it doesn't matter

[forest dagger]

Does anyone know the actual chance %?

[fathom marten]

Nope

Bungie never publishes percentages for anything

[forest dagger]

I also saw someone with an orange one it looked good in game

[small relic]

Protecting us from the harsh reality.

[waxen ibex]

Until it hits the patch notes at least lol

[pearl plinth]

that's also rng, just from mars specifically

[waxen ibex]

The saber shows all the crystal options on it with their sources btw

[forest dagger]

I know I want the magenta one too

Saw someone with white but I don’t wanna buy a cooor

Color

Might just for the hilt

Bro the piker grotto invade map has to be bugged. If you spawn back on the bottom part and they’re on the top you can’t get back up lol you’re stuck

[waxen ibex]

I swear that room literally just has a jump up

[forest dagger]

All exits are walled off

The only possible way up is the entrance with the waterfall and it’s too high

[pulsar hemlock]

guys where is the homeless guy and is he selling the saber mod?

[twin cave]

has it been confirmed whether or not we have to beat the campaign on the characters we wanna run the new dungeon on?

[fathom marten]

He has a random chance to drop it. He's currently outside and above the back of the cantina, I think

[pulsar hemlock]

do i buy or?

[fathom marten]

It's your only option of getting the Refraction Core so yeah

[steel sundial]

its gambling

[pulsar hemlock]

oh man

[waxen ibex]

raids have never required campaign completion

dungeon will most likely be the same

i dont think any dungeon requires campaign progress other than pit of heresy

[pulsar hemlock]

https://tenor.com/view/99-percent-of-gamblers-gif-434871090499708776

[steel sundial]

on average, you do not have enough credits lol

it took me 1200 and i was incredibly lucky, i have a friends who’s spent 70k and still hasnt gotten it

[twin cave]

jesus

took me 700:)

70k is nuts

[pulsar hemlock]

is it even worht it

im just doing this for collection purposes

[steel sundial]

impact core is better but theres a triumph for collecting all the mods

so

[cerulean sail]

well, is it?

[steel sundial]

gotta grab it

[steady skiff]

My internet speed is perfectly fine, every site runs smoothly, and Im constantly getting baboon error code

is it my side or bungie's issue

[steel sundial]

what activity

[steady skiff]

every

[steel sundial]

i dont think i know anybody else having baboon errors, mostly bees and weasels

[steady skiff]

I mostly run lawless frontiers, and there's no issue yesterday

[steel sundial]

thats the most common error recently and bungie said theyre working on it i think

[boreal mural]

This is a stupid question but how to do replay the new campaign on legendary

[steady skiff]

now I need to wait 10 sec to swap something in my inventory

[steel sundial]

theres a node underneath the lawless frontier circle in tharsis

[pulsar hemlock]

yes

i love gambling

i hate not winning tho

[steel sundial]

well if it started yesterday it might be a bungie issue yea

[boreal mural]

Okay thank you

[steady skiff]

I guess I can only wait, thank you

[pulsar hemlock]

i got a bunch of white items tho

[steel sundial]

it does say « purchase junk »

so

[cerulean sail]

whoa

[fathom marten]

That implies the Refraction Core is junk

[cerulean sail]

why would they do that?

[steel sundial]

it is

its really not that good

worst of the cores by a long shot

[pulsar hemlock]

do these give no benifit?

[shadow venture]

matter of opinion

[steel sundial]

none

[steel sundial]

only way refraction core is better is if you’re playing perma block

which like

i dont consider that a valid opinion

[shadow venture]

This guy's clearly never used Strongholds with the Saber

[steel sundial]

i have

and there are ways to play it without perma blocking

[cerulean sail]

just swap to the sniper and click heads bro

[twin cave]

cant stand ppl that play perma-block strongholds

legit so little contribution its crazy, unless you're actually playing up in the jaw of the enemy.

which so few players tend to do if they adopt the perma-block playstyle. so many players just play it super passively which ends up not helping one bit

i personally pref to use strongholds up in the jaw, then secondarily block if im weak

[waxen ibex]

yeah this is a completely normal take nobody likes those people

[twin cave]

im an extremely aggro player, tend to overextend sometimes and die.
its like... in a game where absolutely bonkers things like devour restoration and fucktons of DR are a thing, i see no reason not to be overzealous. but thats just me

its just alot of ppl tend to play strongholds like this, i've noticed. and yea it drives me nuts lol

[waxen ibex]

like

[twin cave]

that season where polaris was straight dropping bombs w solar fulmination, i didnt try it even once lol. i hate playing any form of passive lmao

[waxen ibex]

every stronghold player could use this set properly

and suddenly ascend to godhood

but they need to play onehanded so they can scroll twitter and reply hatemail to dmg's latest flannel selfie

[twin cave]

wait

what the fuck

the DR from blocking is lingering?????

[waxen ibex]

yeah

[twin cave]

LMAO since when

[shadow venture]

since Renegades

[twin cave]

thats nuts dude

[waxen ibex]

for that set bonus always

it's a 50% DR for blocking and then a 25% outgoing damage debuff to any enemy they hit with a sword

[twin cave]

that is wild that thats even in the game lmao

[waxen ibex]

in total they get like 62.5% damage reduction

just for using a sword like a normal human

[twin cave]

isnt max frost armor stacks like 60?

[waxen ibex]

it's 8/12

oh sorry you meant the dr not stack quantity

[twin cave]

66?

yeah

[waxen ibex]

max frost armor is 31.25%

[twin cave]

err yeah i worded that horribly

[waxen ibex]

50% with whisper of rime

[twin cave]

you get max frost armor now off one shatter kill? or am i trippingh

[waxen ibex]

no

but frost armor is really easy to gain and upkeep

[twin cave]

i thoguht they made that amend starting this season

i read smth about that, or simliar? maybe im trippin

[waxen ibex]

that might have been an artifact mod last season or something

[twin cave]

hmm yeah prob

[waxen ibex]

that was a super frost armor oriented artifact

[waxen ibex]

basically the core source of frost armor is just stasis shards for at least the stasis classes

[twin cave]

yea thats how its always been, but i coudl have sworn i heard smth about frost armor stacks and shatter or smth

yea i think you're right must have been last season artifact mod

[waxen ibex]

might have been because of this shit

and this i guess

frost armor was super free all season

so everyone had infinite dr

[grizzled bronze]

Does guardian rank affect loot?

[waxen ibex]

only from events and it caps at t4 anyway

so not in any significant way

portal loot doesnt consider it at all

[grizzled bronze]

Aight so im running gear thats under 400 rn. What should my main priority be if I want ro start getting tier 5s?

[waxen ibex]

oh it does buff the "world drops" you get in portal and the mid activity chests but same deal, capped and it sucks

[waxen ibex]

just hit 450

legit the one requirement is your score needs to pass 1.15m

[twin cave]

ahh yea

[waxen ibex]

at 550 my base score is so high i get t5s from gm difficulty with no modifiers on

[shadow venture]

unless you're Renegades and then you need to get the Spider upgrade because, yeah

[grizzled bronze]

And to hit 450 power is just doing portal stuff? Do I save the pinnacle missions or like is there a guide I can watch on what I should be prioritising?

[waxen ibex]

power gains are just flat and based on your ranking after activities

[near salmon]

is normal cyrt a good exotic

[waxen ibex]

A/A+ are the same gains and should always shoot for them

[shadow venture]

It's alright

Not really an exotic you'd want to use in PvE since Woven Mail is already free

[waxen ibex]

strand doesnt struggle with woven mail access without it and the healing buff to it they did barely does anything so it's mid

[grizzled bronze]

Ok thanks for the help

[waxen ibex]

prioritize bonus engrams mostly

the green bonus drops all drop at the same power as your projected drops

[near salmon]

is mask of fealty still the worst?

[waxen ibex]

so like if you have 3 bonus drops on a solo op

[grizzled bronze]

And ill find them previewed in portal?

[waxen ibex]

you get 4 +3 drops etc

[grizzled bronze]

Oooft. Sounds good. Thankyou

[shadow venture]

Never was, Mask of Fealty is actually doing something decent

[waxen ibex]

yeah, they changed how they look to be a little more subtle now so you might have missed them

[grizzled bronze]

I havent played since day 1 edge of fate so I waited for them to fix some of the annoyances in the system

[waxen ibex]

the only issue with fealty was and still is stasis hunter just being not very good

[near salmon]

how good is it for -40? im trying something new instead of all time using hoil/cyrt

[cerulean sail]

just one more stasis hunter buff bro just one more negligible buff bro please just one more stasis hunter buff bro pleaseeeee

[shadow venture]

If you use it on Prismatic and not Stasis Hunter, it can hold it's own pretty decently I would say

[waxen ibex]

60% buff to the super isnt even small it just didnt do anything

[white horizon]

I saw sunderine Docterine is a feature activity. Does that mean I can farm for the exotic?

[cerulean sail]

just one more negligible buff please bro please

[shadow venture]

If you don't have Prismatic, I really wouldn't bother with Fealty

[waxen ibex]

all raid and dungeon exotics are farmable other than the current year's

[near salmon]

im using prismatic just bored on the hoil/cyrt gameplay loop

[waxen ibex]

and legendary gear is farmable in all raid and dungeon content permanently now

[cerulean sail]

all raids and dungeons released before Edge of Fate are farmable for their exotic

[waxen ibex]

try gifted conviction or wait for them to fix graviton forfeit w/ stylish executioner

[white horizon]

So Sunderine is farmable for the exotic then sorry I just wanna confirm since I dont wanna spend hours grinding for a exotic that isnt farmable

[shadow venture]

You could give it a try and see if the loop is something you vibe with then, I personally think it's fine in -40, just takes some getting used to

[cerulean sail]

yes

[near salmon]

yeah I have a gifted build, graviton havent tried yet

[waxen ibex]

graviton is really nice after the rework but its broken with the one invis source prismatic has

so kinda unusable on prismatic for now

it gives like a 200-300% ability regen rate buff to all 3 abilities that you can upkeep pretty much constantly and every time you go invis you get a big chunk of void overshield so it's kinda nice on void hunter now

[waxen ibex]

just to show what i mean

for starcrossed in this case it's a little over doubling my drops for my time but its better the faster stuff is

[grizzled bronze]

Easy thats pretty good. Also what are the best modifiers to put on to not make my missions torture.

[waxen ibex]

uhh

just abuse the boon system

many boons are so busted they invalidate most of the challenge added by negative modifiers and the power deltas

[waxen ibex]

like today i see both heavyweight and full throttle

heavyweight just doubles all your heavy weapon damage

and max stack full throttle also just doubles all your outgoing damage

they multiply eachother too

and turns out a 4x damage heavy trivializes everything

[grizzled bronze]

Does it change daily?

[waxen ibex]

yeah the available ones change daily, there's usually at least one really stupid one

honestly the boon balancing is so off lmao

grenadier is 2x nade damage and huge nade regen speed

and is worth the same as a 25% elemental surge

or air superiority

[twin cave]

anybody else tired af of lawless frontier?

curiousity

[waxen ibex]

or slayer

slayer is sad

[waxen ibex]

i mean i maxed 2 factions and ive gotten what i wanted out of it for now so yeah

[twin cave]

same

[cosmic glen]

how does one get the fallen deployment timer for the mythic secret strangelet capsules up mines at 3 minutes and i see other people have at leat 5 mins

[fossil abyss]

Hello, it has been a lot since i played destiny, i was wandering in the tower and i found that there are no bounties aviable for the npcs, are they gone or something?

[waxen ibex]

Yes actually

Bounties were replaced with the new orders system which lives in the portal menu/seasonal hub menu

They're basically just bounties but they automatically claim when completed and replace themselves with a new one, and they usually try to tailor themselves to the activity you're in when they do so

To the point where when playing crucible for example I was usually completing 2-3 a match without even checking the list

[green crag]

do i really have to get every single champion in a matchmaking GM team op to get B rank?

[waxen ibex]

Which fireteam op

[green crag]

the EDZ one

wrong language lol

[waxen ibex]

Score in most fireteam ops is based on enemies killed in general so you're kinda expected to kill all the champs and clear as many enemies as you can on the way through

[green crag]

okay so i'll just leave any match the moment the others rush on and make champ despawn, got it

it's inverted spire all over again lol

[dreamy dove]

ey

how do i get exotic engrams?

[rancid fern]

Legend/master lost sectors. Kill all the champs before looting the chest.

[echo violet]

yo guys, i talked with ikora and somehow got the warlord's dungeon quest. does that mean i can get its exotic weapon ?

[dreamy dove]

so i just finished this in solo

but i didnt get any exotic engram

[little pewter]

If you have access to its dungeon

Yes

[little pewter]

Rare

Its rng

[dreamy dove]

:))))

[little pewter]

Kill every champion for highest chance

[echo violet]

i didnt buy the key yet i still have the quest

[dreamy dove]

so even if i kill all of them its not 100%

[little pewter]

Well, do you have access

[little pewter]

Only the champions affect rng but correct

[little pewter]

Ah right yea every dungeon is f2p for this week

[little pewter]

Yeah that doesn't tell you if you have or don't have access.

You check by checking the dungeon

[echo violet]

ahh okay

i heard also that all dungeons till edge of fate are free

[high lily]

its currently open access week 2

you should be able to play it

[hallow karma]

how to get calus mini tool?

[misty mulch]

can this give t5s?

[pearl plinth]

can't get the most recent version right now

[fiery crystal]

presage im pretty sure

[pearl plinth]

(won't be tiered)

[hallow karma]

is there a better primary strand weapon thats better than calus?

[fiery crystal]

calus is solar not strand

[pearl plinth]

Calus is solar

[hallow karma]

oh wait im tweaking

[fiery crystal]

primary solar u mean?

[hallow karma]

primary strand

[fiery crystal]

ohh immortal should be good

from trials

[pearl plinth]

d2 foundry is your friend

https://d2foundry.gg/

[fiery crystal]

and lightgg

[pearl plinth]

light is not your friend it's a liar and a fraud

it's "godrolls" are very often just wrong

because they base it off of the most popular roll, which doesn't actually mean anything

and foundry lets you search with very verbose filters

[fiery crystal]

eeeh if its craftable then it means its godroll

[pearl plinth]

that would be true if anything new was craftable lol

[fiery crystal]

like i use lightgg if im crafting a weapon

[hallow karma]

should i get qua nilus or immortal

[fiery crystal]

im still recovering from 3 year break

[fiery crystal]

both

have variety

tho im not sure if nilus is obtainable

[pearl plinth]

immortal is nice

and is obtainable right now

att orbs and honing/master of arms

[near salmon]

how good is trickle charge? is it like rewind or a worse version of it

[pearl plinth]

do you like storms keep? do you HATE reloading?

[near salmon]

I like storms keep but i dont use titan, i just leech. i hate reloading rocket pulse takes so long

[dreamy dove]

how many portals do i have to do for the 100% xenology quest?

[pearl plinth]

it's pretty much the only good perk for that column for dps anyway

[rancid fern]

There’s no set number because so many things can change it, such as clan mates, grade, & pinnacle vs solo/fireteam op.

[magic wadi]

Does anyone know if GM is a good source for cores and shards?

[hoary holly]

Can you get exotics from drops or only by completing quests? because i see a bunch of builds with items i have no clue how to get

[rancid fern]

Can you specify the items? Armor or weapons

Armor comes from rahool with exotic engrams, most weapons come from the kiosk near banshee.

[hoary holly]

Both like contraverse hold or the third itterations

[hoary holly]

Ahh and how do you grind exotic engrams?

[rancid fern]

Legend/master lost sectors

[hoary holly]

Great thanks alot enjoy your day ill ask more later if i dont understand something wich is highly likley

[rancid fern]

GM level & up drop prisms and shards. Unfortunately the best source for cores is to just break down both other currencies back into cores.

[clever olive]

What’s the best way to get a exotic armor with a certain stat group

[rancid fern]

Class items have preset stats based on the perks it rolls with, all other exotics are determined by the archetype. Ghost mods will help.

[magic wadi]

I really enjoy running vanguard GM, but like I wanna know if I'm wasting a lot of progress running it, I'm also 420 power level

[rancid fern]

Are you referring to the new alert GM?

[magic wadi]

Yeah

I used to spend almost all of my playtime grinding old GMs so the difficulty is really enjoyable to find various builds, but when almost everything I get is tier 3-4s, It feels kinda bad spending time in that content if the rewards are not weighted 💀

[rancid fern]

Tiers are based on your power level.

[fiery crystal]

not really, will be obtainable next weekend 19.12

[pearl plinth]

yeah the issue is the other smg isn't at all right now

because the eof portal pool doesn't have a source

[fiery crystal]

i see i see

[fiery crystal]

wait some strand autorifles are obtainablr if you want that

[pearl plinth]

I'm not the one looking for it

[fiery crystal]

ohhh

[pulsar hemlock]

where dos the master work of the gun go when i enhance it?

[fiery crystal]

it stays, dont worry

its just visual thing

in Dim you can still see it

[cerulean sail]

enhancing a gun is the same as masterworking it, if you masterwork first you're just wasting resources

[fiery crystal]

really?

i thought enhancing is just shortcut

[cerulean sail]

yes

[hallow karma]

is speleologist still obtainable rn?

[fiery crystal]

whats wasted

[cerulean sail]

that allows you to enhance the 3rd and 4th perk on it

[brittle wing]

Cores

[lusty scroll]

how long until we lose free expansions?

[fiery crystal]

yeah but like if you dont wanna go thru the entire process of clicking masterwork button, clicking enhancement is just 1 click

[lusty scroll]

or is it gone already?

[fiery crystal]

it was supposed to be gone yesterday

[cerulean sail]

until the 16th

[fiery crystal]

iirc bungie extended that

[fiery crystal]

oh thats sick

[lusty scroll]

yea cause of the final shape bug, but i didnt know how long

[lusty scroll]

thx

[fiery crystal]

what bug was there

[cerulean sail]

game crash every time in the last Final Shape mission

[lusty scroll]

They couldnt do the last mission in final shape where you dmg the witness for the first time

kept crashing

[pearl plinth]

looking at the witness crashed the gsme

[fiery crystal]

ohhh

goddamn

i just did my augers with catalyst then i dipped

[pearl plinth]

which is incredibly funny from a conceptual standpoint

[fiery crystal]

since i was just missing tfs dungeon keys

[lusty scroll]

yea my friend was experiencing it, and we joked and said "shit company better extend the duration"

then they actually did

lol

[fiery crystal]

small indie dev btw

[willow hearth]

this won't drop the bond at t5 will it?

[real onyx]

is the exodus crash GM vanguard alert..thats weekly right, the reward? it wont change tomorrow?

[waxen ibex]

It will if your score is over 1.15m

[waxen ibex]

Alerts are weekly

[pseudo glacier]

can i do lawless frontier without invasions? even if only solo? i want that indigo crystal but hate pvp

[pearl plinth]

expert difficulty doesn't have invasions

won't be getting as high power gear as master or gm

[pallid quiver]

Can you attune for the renegades weapons somehow to have a specific gun drop more often?

[pearl plinth]

nope

[pseudo glacier]

sweet

[pearl plinth]

but also, invasions can just kinda largely be ignored

they just burn a couple revives if you're not actively fighting them

[waxen ibex]

You can just ignore the invasions btw

There are literally zero stakes

[waxen ibex]

This isn't even true BTW, when you play an invasion enabled difficulty you get +3 revive tokens when the invader spawns lol

[hallow karma]

is speleologist still obtainable

[waxen ibex]

Genuinely you lose nothing if he shoots you 3x

[pearl plinth]

oh lmao that's so funny

[pastel zealot]

only from xur

[pearl plinth]

from Xûr, sure

[waxen ibex]

Also there are nodes without invasions you can do gm on, but I'd just pretend it doesn't exist and they'll just leave after they get 3 kills or die 3x

[pseudo glacier]

i'll just stick to expert, but thanks guys!

[waxen ibex]

Just remember gm gives 3x the contract progress and is pretty much the only way you're getting consistent T5s later

[pseudo glacier]

that's fine, i just want the crystal

[steady quail]

Is grinding for specific armour important or do people just go for stats?

[rancid fern]

You mean like set bonuses?
Stats are much more important, set bonuses are just like an extra thing if you wanna get it.

[steady quail]

Ty, t5s how do those work when will I drop them

I have a t5 but no clue how it dropped

[rancid fern]

450+ with a score of 1.15 mill

[steady quail]

Nah that cant be true right?

[willow hearth]

can get them at lower power in renegades

[willow hearth]

for portal it is

[steady quail]

I have 320 power and dropped a t5 without renegade in portal

[gaunt temple]

Hello there

How are you doing today

[tame hornet]

it might just be my rng but I'm getting t5s at 410

[steady quail]

So grinding power is actually worth?

[rancid fern]

Yes very much so

Tiers in portal are decided by your power level

[steady quail]

Btw tried cruoris as you said and I am having ammo troubles

[rancid fern]

At 550 you can get T5 from master level content in portal

[steady quail]

I am running special armour finder, strand scavenger and strand ammo gen

With the new malpais

Feels like I dont drop that much ammo from nade spam

[rancid fern]

You’ll need to run a scav for both weapons.

[steady quail]

so arc scav?

[rancid fern]

Are you also making ammo from finishers?

[steady quail]

I dont think so?

I have tried using the finisher a bit but it just does not give extra ammo

[rancid fern]

You gotta use the mod on your class item to make ammo, & use a firepower mod on your arms.

[waxen ibex]

That's normal but 450+ are able to get every single drop as a guaranteed t5

[steady quail]

That seems good

I only have the one and having all my shit be t5 would be sweet

[steady quail]

What mod?

I have been running double firepower'

[rancid fern]

Special finisher

[steady quail]

Ok ok, ty that might go hard

But idk how to create a situation where I can use my finisher? All mobs either I oneshot or they are bosses or whatever so I cant kill them fast

[rancid fern]

You can slap them with unpowered melee if you need to I guess.

[rancid fern]

It can be dangerous to use a finisher depending on the difficulty of the content you’re playing. There’s another mod on your class item to make yourself immune during the animation if you need it.

I use it all the time to survive a situation I otherwise wouldn’t have.

[willow hearth]

what's a good exotic for a well support build?

[rancid fern]

Speakers sight or boots of the assembler

[green crag]

I wanted to do all master conquests for GR8 but one of them is "currently unavailable". When will it become available again? is it part of a specific weekly rotation or something?

[rancid fern]

Locked due to it not working

Bugged

[green crag]

oh lol, guess i'll wait then, thx

[hidden linden]

What stats I should be looking for regarding PVP?

[rigid nexus]

Anyone know how to make the bridge appear in the message mission.

[steady quail]

What is the "pinnacle ops" special drop

[rigid nexus]

The relocator is not working and it just insta kills.

[rancid fern]

Bonus focus is helmet or chest armor

[rancid fern]

You can also use the D2 companion app now to view the bonus focus drops without logging into the game.

[steady quail]

Is the best way to gain power just to run it down in solo ops?

I have been running caldera to go from 300 to 330

325

[rancid fern]

Bonus drops should be your main focus

[tulip oar]

There's a side path that'll let you enable the bridge.

[steady quail]

The bonus drops always seem to be lower power thO?

[tulip oar]

They're not. They're the same power that the focus drop will be.

[rancid fern]

Are you getting A grade?

[steady quail]

yeah

I think so

b+ before I start and then bonus objective

like that

[slow delta]

anyone know how to get to the spider at the tharsis cantina?

[rancid fern]

Left door after you enter the building

[slow delta]

nvm im a dummy

thought i had to get past the guards on the bottom

the renegades campaign just insanely short? feel like ive done nothing and im at 11/13

[broken lantern]

is renegades worth buying. ive bought every dlc since red war but edge of fate n renegades

[rancid fern]

It gets longer, I have 45 steps now

[slow delta]

oh wth

[little pewter]

its quite good, campaign is very good gameplay wise and story is p solid, the new loot is great, activities have for the most part gotten praise afaik?

[broken lantern]

long as my boy drifter doesnt bite the dust i think itll be a goof purchase then

[broken lantern]

suppose ill have to give it a go now

[slow delta]

its almost never worth just buying 1 expansion. yearly option is always the best way to go

[ornate halo]

also the lightsaber is aura

[steady quail]

Any1 know how to obtain the catalyst for new malpais?

[rancid fern]

Rank 90 of the season pass gives all catalysts for previous passes.

[steady quail]

With the free or the paid pass? When I look in the pass I cant see that you would get that on tier 90

[rancid fern]

It only shows the current catalyst, but it still gives them all.

[steady quail]

So the free one right?

Yeah yeah, ic ty!

[rancid fern]

Yes it’s on the free pass

[slow delta]

this new zone is like a spitting image of star wars

[rancid fern]

Yeah totally “inspired” right

[visual remnant]

is there any other ysecret

quest with the exotic orders

or once i ve done the praxic on i can do them without having to reroll them

[mortal plinth]

wheres the best place to do the pinnacle praxic blade order

[tulip oar]

Thrall pit in The Whisper

[mortal plinth]

didnt do the whisper in years

hopefully i rememeber the way

[frozen flame]

Can you currently buy cores for the praxic blade? I think I missed the impact core after reset

[pearl plinth]

you can get the refraction core by gambling but yeah you'll have to wait for the impact core

[vast trellis]

hi i am not sure if this is where to ask but, is it only me for whom destiny 2's audio has been freezing extremely often?

[tidal sorrel]

fellas is it still possible to get mint retrograde?

shit

[frozen flame]

I've not had any issues, what platform you on?

[vast trellis]

steam

and yes i have already updated every driver imaginable

[rancid fern]

It’ll be back though

[vast trellis]

i don't know lately destiny has been freezing a ton, crashing a ton, especially when it's in the background for longer than 5 minutes or when i alt tab a lot

[frozen flame]

I'm Xbox but I've not had any issues - Only thing that annoys me is when I load up the game, sometimes it tells me I need to have a valid WIFI connection but I think that's just my network trying to connect to the console on startup

[atomic field]

For the praxic blade catalyst at the final boss, just making sure do you need to overload the white blights 4 times similar to the previous encounter catalyst or do you do it correctly balanced

[heady geyser]

is there a focus for hunter that is generally considered meta for all content?

[rancid fern]

People love the grapple nonsense on prismatic

[heady geyser]

so prismatic?

[rancid fern]

Yeah the prismatic subclass

[red mantle]

what are people using for unstop

[rancid fern]

The artifact or an exotic weapon with unstoppable intrinsic

[sinful cape]

is the homeless guy selling the refraction core still available

[red mantle]

isn’t the artifact kinetic only?

[rancid fern]

Primary weapons yeah
Heavy crossbow too

[frozen flame]

Yeah, do the white blights first below the ground and make sure they're balanced and completely filled. Then just finish off doing the dark blights as usual too

[rancid fern]

Subclass verbs work good too.
💥 Ignition
🦠 Suspend
⚡️ Blind

[heady geyser]

how do i power up fast? i already asked yesterday but i didnt quite get the answer

[hidden linden]

What stats for my armor should I be looking for regarding PVP?

[rancid fern]

Bonus drop activities

[fierce spear]

Bonus drops then reclaim when you have none left

insight terminus is a fast one too

[marsh pewter]

How am I supposed to upgradin' Barrow Dyad without Nether, do the bits drop from the mission repeats?

[heady geyser]

uh which ones exactly (activities)? im somewhat new to the game

[icy vortex]

Do combat bows count for the unstoppable bow perk

[marsh pewter]

Reclaim?

[rancid fern]

Anything in portal with bonus drops

[little pewter]

aye

combat bows are bows

[icy vortex]

Listen I had to ask

I only just got my first combat bow

[little pewter]

that was phrased poorly, what i mean is that a combat bow is a bow, not "a type of bow", but bow

when the game says bow, it typically means combat bow

[icy vortex]

Ahhh fair fair

[little pewter]

crossbow is just coded to also count as a combat bow

[icy vortex]

Sorry had to ask as the artifact perk never includes the types of bow

Why does autocorrect do this

[little pewter]

it always means combat bow and crossbow

[marsh pewter]

Can exotics be rolling 75?

[little pewter]

because crossbow is coded to be like combat bow, and combat bow is bow

not "a bow", but bow

[marsh pewter]

74?

[rancid fern]

63 max

[maiden turtle]

why is this happening??

[marsh pewter]

Damn why didn't they get updated might as well skip the exotic

[little pewter]

good exotics >>>>>>> good stats

[marsh pewter]

Maybe sometimes

[little pewter]

no.

period

[marsh pewter]

Depends on the exotic tbh

[heady geyser]

but stuff with bonus drops drops stuff below my power D:

[rancid fern]

You need B+ or higher to raise your power level

[jaunty whale]

did you enable "include font mod stats"

i notice the dim preview stats are blue in color

[heady geyser]

no i mean it says 400 even tho im 413

[little pewter]

yes, that'd be why i specified

[maiden turtle]

yes i did wouldn't it automatically add in those stats when i equip the build from DIM tho?

[little pewter]

good exotics are better than good stats

[marsh pewter]

Depends on the stats

[jaunty whale]

the font mod stats don't apply during ingame stat previews as they are temporary buffs
