[open spade]

No mobs spawning anymore

[fathom marten]

Might have to restart if they’re all filled. When you kill those two enemies to make the balls spawn, you throw all of them into the same orb to cause an imbalance.

[weak stirrup]

does dynamo work with ascension on hunter?

[lethal canopy]

How much DR does Woven mail provide?

[golden moth]

anyone actually know how to fix the weasel error code...
PC.
been getting it for a consistent 3 days straight.

i have to unplug my modem and restart my pc, just to have a chance of seeing orbit lol.

[drifting plinth]

yes

[fathom marten]

45% in PvE, 25% in PvP

[opaque arch]

what items does the first encounter of equilibrium drop?

[sudden egret]

Loot pools are pinned in #📘pve-playbook

[west beacon]

is there any difference between the drops from the nightmare hunt difficulties?

[sudden egret]

don't think anyone knows what the drops are

[west beacon]

lmao

[drifting plinth]

(no one does them)

[high lily]

i dont even think master crota is fixed yet 😭

[drifting plinth]

the fuck is wrong with master crota?

never hear of anything wrong with it

[high lily]

master nightmare crota is bugged and you take a million damage from everything

last i tried it (which was like a year ago or something) you couldnt hit him with the sword because youd get 1 shot by the slam he constantly does

[drifting plinth]

ah

i have like maybe an hour or two total playtime on the moon

[west beacon]

lmao

probably a better place to ask this then, what is the difference in terms of drops from normal and expert dares (also how does the door thingy work)

[high lily]

expert has a higher chance of lightning rounds = more loot overall
the guessing door is literally just a guess, but on expert each encounter is the same so you can stand at the correct door for free ammo

[drifting plinth]

^

essentially-expert means free inf heavy ammo for final

which is quite fun

[west beacon]

alr ty, is the current door on expert always the same then? (how do you tell what one it is :3)

[drifting plinth]

iirc there's some website

[abstract bear]

It rotates weekly

[west beacon]

just realised expert dares doesn't have matchmaking fsr, so will just do normal

[sudden egret]

normal is fine

[abstract bear]

Is the lfg for it dead? Or ff?

[west beacon]

don't feel like socialising :3

[little pewter]

its expert dares, you dont socialise in LFG during it

[high lily]

yea you just join a fireteam

[west beacon]

what weapons do you people find fun specifically in dares? :3

[abstract bear]

They're all crept. There's no reason to specifically farm for any of them

[fathom marten]

The two swords are fun and I enjoy using the pulse and trace rifles

[west beacon]

i mean using :3

[fathom marten]

Oh

Whatever you enjoy using then

[abstract bear]

I usually use dares to do exotic catalysts, especially the heavy ones

[west pulsar]

heard pantheon is coming back, is that true and if so how many hours would it take to prep for that if i havent played since tfs launch

[high lily]

They said pantheon would return ages ago

[abstract bear]

youll be fine, just slap a decent build together

the gear youll get from getting up to 550 will do. the whole thing with pantheon is damage checks and damage rotations havent really changed much

[high lily]

Youll probably have to minmax if you dont have a team for it already

Lfg was notoriously awful during the previous pantheon

[abstract bear]

oh yeah if youre looking to solo prob look to carry

[high lily]

Stuff like hezen, mint, psi, whirling and auger

Getaway, nothing manacles could be good, winters guile

Cuirass swap
Hoil syntho class item

Hunter has uh.. um. Hm..

[abstract bear]

relax we have tether. contra will be fixed by then

[west pulsar]

yeah i remember 💀

[fathom marten]

It'll return sometime after June 9th so you'll have until then to prepare for it

[west pulsar]

will i need the dlcs that came out since then?

its just 2 right? eof and renegades?

[high lily]

Yea

[abstract bear]

youll want renedages. praxic will prob be your quickest main ad clear

[high lily]

Edge of fate has Whirling and the best heavy gl
Renegades has heavy sniper, special ammo hc for lucky panys

[high lily]

Oh yea warlock has Boots of the Assembler now

[waxen ibex]

Dlc-wise renegades is the only one with actual relevant gear you should care about

Whirling is a parasite sidegrade in most cases and the epic tdp heavy gl is at best on par with chill inhibitor

[mortal cloud]

is this alright for nord ovrd AVALON gm?

[waxen ibex]

And chill inhibitor is getting refreshed at the same time anyway

Since dungeon weapons are getting refreshes

[waxen ibex]

What is this supposed to be doing for you

Prismatic doesn't struggle with getting devour and most of the supers are kind of mid

It'll probably be fine anyway but it's not a very good class item

You can make any portal activity extremely easy just by using boon modifiers and the really easy or bugged negatives that have basically no downsides

[mortal cloud]

interesting

[waxen ibex]

If you look at data compendium game mechanics tab here you can see a list of all the modifier numbers https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WaxvbLx7UoSZaBqdFr1u32F2uWVLo-CJunJB4nlGUE4/edit?usp=drivesdk

A lot of negative modifiers like the hunger modifiers actually have no downside in reality, glass cannon is bugged to actually make you take 50% less damage

A lot of the tradeoffs like volatile shields are basically only upsides, and a lot of the boons are 100%-140% damage increases that stack multiplicatively or do things like giving you infinite heavy

So pumping score is really easy and then you can usually stack enough boon modifiers to just walk through with a 4x damage no cooldown grapple punch or an infinite ammo 4x damage thunderlord

With grenadier alone verity + handheld supernova just oneshots almost every portal boss without chunking even

[mortal cloud]

thank you so much, ive been struggling alot in the nord orv avalon, these snipers take me out too fast, and its annoying as fuck, tips?

[mortal cloud]

I see I see.... by the way weird question but the grapple grenade modifier right? as void warlock can the holding grenade button still trigger it?

[waxen ibex]

It replaces your grenade ability so I believe you lose chaos accelerant

But I don't remember I've not used grappler like ever

[mortal cloud]

I see I see

[mortal cloud]

honestly though.... this one time in encore I final boss, we had the grapple modifier but like I took warlock void but for a moment I got my non-grapple grenade back, weird bug but it was nice

[waxen ibex]

I just wouldn't use grappler

It kind of sucks

If you really need a grapple for some parkour skip or something navigator gives you a grapple now on any subclass if you stare at the grapple point it makes

I'd rather just turn off locked loadout and do that at that point

Unless your subclass just genuinely doesn't care about its nades

[mortal cloud]

got it

[glacial hound]

i wouldnt bother using class item unless its hoil syntho

[drifting plinth]

those being solar titan, stasis titan to a lesser degree, anything else?

[waxen ibex]

Arc hunter, slide warlock, people using solar warlock just for well, people using lucky pants, etc

[lethal canopy]

Great!

[mortal cloud]

is this the uhhh nord ordv avalon bug....?

[tidal merlin]

2nd stage brakion?

If hes dead why are you on the 2nd floor?

[mortal cloud]

you see that portal in the pic I sent above "REVERSE" guy right? that portal was lit earlier, we went through, this "JOINING ALLIES IN" countdown kept showing up after we went through that portal and brought us where we were in the pic

[vale meadow]

still not fixed huh

[tidal merlin]

Oh you got backpulled

[copper apex]

When’s ggs ending again ?

[pearl ferry]

Just got back from the game. Do I need to purchase the latest dlc to enjoy the game?

[high lily]

no

[pearl ferry]

Thanks! It's not yet on sale on epic so i can't buy it 😂

[queen crest]

Is wish keeper combat bow any good?

[twin peak]

not really

for pvp it’s alright

[queen crest]

Thanks

[high lily]

me and many others dont recommend playing on epic

and Steam currently has their spring sale going on

[pearl ferry]

That's true but i already bought the other dlcs there and it's too much money for me to buy it all over again on steam

[marble pebble]

What does this represent? Like, a weapon tier or something? More stars = more stats? Or is it purely cosmetic?

[rancid parcel]

guys if im new but thinks hunter looks cool shld i and can i go hunter?
i hvent played b4 and this is my first time hving only the legacy expansions. i think it looks rlly cool

[marble pebble]

Also, I've another similar question. I've noticed new gear has only 3 stats, while my old stuff has every stat. Does that mean the new gear is simply better, because you can "target" specific stats for specific builds?

[high lily]

yes

new armor can get a higher total also

and Health stat is completely useless in pve

[high lily]

the stars = tier, up to tier 5
tiers for weapons means more perks aswell as enhanced barrels, mags, perks and origin traits

for armor, the stat total can be a max of 75 base, tier 4 and 5 get 1 extra mod energy.
tier 5 gets an extra mod slot that lets you trade 5 points from one stat, into another

[marble pebble]

So, I can basically dismantle all of my old gear/armor? What about weapons like my good ol' Ascendancy? If I get a new Ascendacy, would it have tiers, or are the old weapons from previous expansions always without tiers?

I suppose that's why I got 20 Exotic Requisition Orders, so I can get some new gear with the stats I want.

[high lily]

there are still some old weapons that are good, mostly raid weapons which will be getting perk refreshes and tiers in the upcoming major update on june 9th

Ascendancy has been bad for 4 years nows
most old weapons and armor dont have tiers

[marble pebble]

Funny you should say that, because the last time I played was early Witch Queen release, which was 4 years ago :^)

I'll check out what's good nowadays then and spend 39240 hours updating my vault and my DIM builds. I'm still trying to get the hang of it because it feels like I've never played the game before, haha.

Thank you so much for the help, though, I appreciate it!

[cold geode]

Parasite dps rotation. Ain’t used parasite in a while, hell I ain’t played any games needed a dps rotation in months 🤣. Running 2 solar holster on legs, but that means I only have one solar surge.

1. is running just one holster fine? So I get more solar surges.

2. what super/build pairs well with parasite and rocket pulse rotation. Currently on ashen wake build.

[little pewter]

1. 2.5 second vs 2 second reload time

2. it has no particular noteworthy build synergy, or synergy at all. At most, prismatic for elemental honing. Use tcrash

[glacial hound]

generally burst supers are best

as they always are for dps obviously

[cold geode]

Just so I can pop off parasite, use some special ammo switch back and it will be reloaded to fire again. As opposed to its somewhat long reload animation.

[little pewter]

Yes

Shoot parasite, about 2 seconds worth of special damage, repeat

[cold geode]

Rocket pulses are better than rocket sidearm atm right?

[little pewter]

For dps? Night and day would be underselling the difference

Rocket pulses are way better

[waxen ibex]

Rocket pulses perform similarly to heavy GLs while running on green ammo

[torn flame]

Why are all updates and weekly resets on Tuesdays?

That’s quite possibly the worst day to do them besides prob Monday

[glacial hound]

idk bro

why does it even matter🤔

[little pewter]

Likely some reason, since it's a common reset day for games

[torn flame]

Because people would want resets on like a Friday or smthin when they’re available

like who is playing on a Tuesday, player count wise

[twin peak]

then it’d be twid fridays

instead of Twid Tuesdays

[waxen ibex]

it is literally no deeper than this

[abstract bear]

Because statistically Mondays and Tuesdays, especially in the morning to midday time frame in NA, have the lowest player counts, so it is the best day time to take the server down and push updates without affecting the majority of the population

Many games do this not just destiny

[waxen ibex]

also shipping major releases on tuesdays is just kind of optimal since if you ship on a monday you dont really have time to review things right before launch and you get the rest of the week to follow up on it if needed

bungie has just always done a tuesday schedule for things like that because of that

[tidal crater]

Hi,Please tell me what's going on with the game now, It just keeps telling me that the servers are unavailable.

[waxen ibex]

and d1's reset time was just when the servers went live

d2 just kept the same reset time because tradition

[rancid parcel]

hi guys new player running hunter void ive been doing portal only didnt do much of the campaign looking up builds alot of the builds use things from renegades while i only hv legacy is there any builds that are legacy

[harsh jackal]

easiest answer: Use bonk titan

[rancid parcel]

Yeah but hunter looks cool..

[harsh jackal]

hunter sucks

its fun but sucks

but if you really wanna use hunter, i would suggest tempest strike build (arc)

its ability spam and doesnt require renegeades

[glacial hound]

hunter does not suck

[glacial hound]

legacy as in including the final shape?

[rancid parcel]

yes

[glacial hound]

ok good

hunter is only good on prismatic which you have access to

after completing the final shape campaign you can unlock an exotic mission called dual destiny

which on completion gives you an exotic class item with random rolls of other exotic armour functions

you wanna look out for inmost light + cyrtarachne

in the meantime you can run graviton/sunshot/trinity ghoul with radiant dance machines on prismatic with threaded spectre and ascension aspects

[rancid parcel]

u get those two from finishing the quest?

[rancid parcel]

english plws

im running hunter void and am completely new to destiny as a whole

[glacial hound]

after you unlock the exotic class item you can buy it from xur or redo the mission for different rolls on it

each of the perks take aspects of other exotic armour pieces and mash them together into one armour

[rancid parcel]

whos xxur

[glacial hound]

guy in tower

[rancid parcel]

so try and get good perks i assume?

[glacial hound]

!xur

surely thats a command

i guess not

[glacial hound]

yeah

being heart of inmost light and cyrtarachne

[rancid parcel]

arent those items

[twin peak]

;xur

[solar jasper]

Xur, Agent of the Nine
Who Xur? - A strange vendor that shows up Friday to Tuesday with exotic and legendary items. More info: here
Where Xur? - Tower Bazaar. Look for his vendor icon in the Tower map.
When Xur? - Xur enters the game on Fridays and leaves on Tuesdays, at reset time (1700 UTC). Where Is Xur also hosts a countdown.
What('s being sold by) Xur? - #weeklies-and-vendors and #infographics and apps such as Destiny Item Manager and the Destiny 2 Companion App update with Xur's wares shortly after Xur enters the game. Xur's entire pool is also visible at Light.gg.
How Xur? - Xur only accepts Strange Coins as currency. These are obtained when completing Vanguard, Crucible, Trials, Iron Banner, Gambit, and Onslaught activities. Purchasing items from Xur increases his reputation, which grants materials, including exotic ciphers. More info on the updated Xur in TFS here.

[twin peak]

they are exotics for their own respective class

however, exotic class items combine a few exotic parts

in this case, the ability regen from hoil and woven mail from cyrtarachne

[rancid parcel]

uhh in ur opinion if i were to go hunter with only legacy what build can i go?

can u point me smwhere? imj rlly lost

[twin peak]

legacy has tfs

[rancid parcel]

what is tf

[twin peak]

the final shape

[rancid parcel]

yeah

[twin peak]

there’s a whole process towards getting exotic class items

for now, what subclass would you wanna stick to?

[rancid parcel]

idk they all feel the same ngl

guess i hvent unlocked other weapons?

or skills

void sounds cool and prismatic too

so either one of those

honestly any of them

all the hunter ones look cool cuz i dun see a difference

[abstract bear]

Run rigs

[waxen ibex]

you managed to pick out the two hunter subclasses that can actually be called good

[rancid parcel]

isnt solar considered the best or did i js read too much reddit

[waxen ibex]

you prob read a really old post

prismatic basically killed most of the other subclasses by taking everything good about all of them and putting them on one class

nowadays solar hunter doesnt rlly have anything that sets it apart since prismatic gets golden gun + abilities that dont suck

[formal creek]

im trying to do a solo op with avant guard, but it wont let me launch the activity, even though all my gear is from Lawless/Renegades.

[waxen ibex]

try a different difficulty

[rancid parcel]

oh xD thats cooked

[waxen ibex]

iirc very specific activities on very specific difficulties were bugged so avant garde didnt work properly

[rancid parcel]

can upoint me to a build or setup that doesnt need content outside legacy?

[waxen ibex]

legacy collection has basically everything relevant to buildcrafting

this years dlcs added fuck all

[rancid parcel]

yeah but i heard fortunes favour is needed for alot of buildings

[waxen ibex]

that is

an overstatement and a half

it was good for like, wolfsbane dps and that's it

[rancid parcel]

oh well uh what build shld i go then xD sorry im horrendously loss, dont even know what subclass does what

[waxen ibex]

it's pretty bad in most cases

[rancid parcel]

oh i saw the light saber build and thot it was prety broken

[waxen ibex]

you really shouldnt just blindly copy builds in this game ngl

its okay as far as like figuring out what stuff does but weapon choices and stuff are always very situational

[rancid parcel]

yeah but considering idk what synergises with what idk what to do like say in warframe ik what weapons, mods everything to build for destiny idk what armours exist and idk what skills do yet

[rancid parcel]

mhm but for now i want a fun end game build i can work towards yk?

so then from there on i can grind to get other stuff and slowly make my own builds

i dont hv much things so i cant experiment

[waxen ibex]

as far as prismatic this basically covers most of what is worth talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctGN03RFdOQ

[upper matrix]

It's better to learn the basics by playing what works. Learn the gameplay, unlock stuff, then start looking into builds when you have better understanding and stuff to use.

[waxen ibex]

in group content for general use a lot of people just replace combo blow with threaded spike and then are free to focus more on weapon stat since you're not using grenade or melee for dps

[rancid parcel]

oki ill watch thru the video

[waxen ibex]

its hard bc there's not really that much going on with builds you just have to know the good stuff

there's a lot of bait and google is useless bc it'll pull up some shit from 3 years ago

the only hunter exotics i would look at for pve are prob like, nighthawk, bakris, orpheus rig, hoil/cyrt class item, hoil/syntho class item, lucky pants, gifted conviction

isnt that hard to get to the rest of the build from there

since the rest of the build is basically checking if you can run that exotic on prismatic first

and if not you're using orpheus rig which is good with moebius quiver on void hunter for niche bow/crossbow dps stuff

[magic sequoia]

So like, what the fuck?

What did he hit it with?

[waxen ibex]

i see a purple explosion so probably contraverse chunk

[magic sequoia]

That is one strong chunk then?

[waxen ibex]

and yep he's on void warlock w/ the chunking setup

[magic sequoia]

What does it do?

[waxen ibex]

chunking is referring to a bug that causes damage to be repeated server side multiple times

[magic sequoia]

Ohhh, that stacks up

[fathom marten]

(And it’s being patched on Tuesday after about 4 months)

[high lily]

since heresy

[magic sequoia]

Bungie never patching shit, when is the last time we have had a meaningful update?

[fathom marten]

July 15, 2025

[magic sequoia]

What was that?

[fathom marten]

The launch of Edge of Fate and also Update 9.0.0

Changed how stats works, introduced tiered weapons, added the portal system

[magic sequoia]

The stat rework was dumb, I liked the old stats

😢

[sudden egret]

the stat rework is like the only thing everyone agrees was good

you can have a gripe with having to re-farm all new armor

[calm crane]

Yes it’s rough getting used to in the beginning but it’s good now stats benefit over 100..

[twin peak]

double primary in gambit

big no no

[drifting plinth]

in gambit

[twin peak]

back before sturm only had drang to work with that was the only excuse

and maybe fighting lion

[drifting plinth]

i only use double primary in crucible

and that's shit like final warning+igneous

[magic sequoia]

I have a sniper 😢

I run a normal scout or pulse or something, a sniper with vorpal, and then a linear that I use when I invade

[rancid parcel]

is this still viable it looks rlly funny and fun and good

[magic sequoia]

[waxen ibex]

prismatic hunter w/ grapple and combo blow/threaded spike has been the best hunter subclass for approaching 2 years now

[twin peak]

shouldn’t be using primary at all in gambit

[magic sequoia]

Well, it works for me so 🤷‍♂️

[rancid parcel]

yayy is the stuff hard to get? idk the names of em so idk where and if they r hard to get

[waxen ibex]

exotic class item takes some farming but you dont even need it for prismatic hunter to be good

[rancid parcel]

i shld finish new light and tfs first tho right

[rancid parcel]

oki how bou the rest need any expansions other than legacy?

[magic sequoia]

Isn’t that the thing that gives two exotics in one (basically)

[waxen ibex]

like i told you earlier legacy collection includes literally everything that actually matters rn

you're missing like, 3 relevant guns by not owning renegades and that's it

[rancid parcel]

oh its that good? i thot since its old itl be behind in at least sm stuff

[twin peak]

pretty much

[rancid parcel]

oh okiii

[magic sequoia]

That just nullifies exotics tho🤦‍♂️

[waxen ibex]

it doesnt

[drifting plinth]

it's weaker versions

[twin peak]

not all exotic perks are in the pool

[drifting plinth]

also^

[twin peak]

and it’s only for prismatic
-# jeez my mind is elsewhere

[rancid parcel]

ima finish new light and tfs for now then is there a spread sheet on where to get all of those items idk what theyre called and no one named them in the comments

[drifting plinth]

(doesnt matter for the good ones)

[waxen ibex]

it's a limited pool of exotic perks that are missing half their effects and only works on prismatic

two exotics cut in half stapled together = one exotic

[magic sequoia]

I remember I saw some crazy build this dude had, literally was invincible, I remember the was a hunter 😱

[waxen ibex]

yeah thats just average prismatic hunter

[waxen ibex]

what items

[rancid parcel]

all the iteems he uses in that build

[waxen ibex]

like i told you earlier that video is old so you only really should be caring about the subclass stuff

[drifting plinth]

the only one of the good exoitcs that doesnt keep the only important part is verity iirc causee verity has both parts be really good

[rancid parcel]

i only know the bushido cowl from the pinnacle

[twin peak]

aspects, abilities, fragments, the whole shebang

for prismatic, some abilities are from the post campaign adventures

[waxen ibex]

the specific armor piece just does not matter

you care about stats firstly and then want to look at set bonuses

[rancid parcel]

oh ok how do iget the rest of the abilities for prismatic

[waxen ibex]

do tfs campaign

[drifting plinth]

and the post campaign adventures

and also there's like 1 fragment worth getting from the cyst stuff

[rancid parcel]

ok but hypothetically if i wanted to follow it too is that ok i feel btr at least hving one good build thats proven to work

[waxen ibex]

dude

the set bonuses do so little

[twin peak]

ferropotent my beloved

[waxen ibex]

im telling you these things for a reason

[magic sequoia]

I see so many prismatic hunters, some warlocks, but basically never have seen titans

[waxen ibex]

not having an armor set bonus isnt going to break your build bc it's contributing nothing to begin with

[twin peak]

they ruled when tfs initially came out

[drifting plinth]

prism consec titan is still busted

[twin peak]

nerfs put them down a little

but still usable

[drifting plinth]

just used to be like best build for very VERY nearly everything

[rancid parcel]

wait so what part SHOULD i be worrying about

[drifting plinth]

stats

and subclass

[waxen ibex]

all that matters is:
1.) subclass setup
2.) exotic armor choice
3.) armor stats

[magic sequoia]

I think prismatic really threw off the balance in the game and it went downhill afterwards

[waxen ibex]

those are core to a build functioning

because they actually do things

[rancid parcel]

oh ok

thats it

[twin peak]

pretty much

[rancid parcel]

tyyy

for now ill finish tfs and new light

[magic sequoia]

Good luck bro

[rancid parcel]

tyy ill do my best :3

[waxen ibex]

only other one i'd say counts is starfire

but starfire these days isnt that good

[rancid parcel]

oh yeah

btw

those armour and weapon mods

how does one get those

they seem prety essential

[waxen ibex]

you should have them all already

wdym

[rancid parcel]

uh

yk when he enter the armours

then he choose stuff

like he was squares that had numbers on em

[twin peak]

who is he

popoki?

[rancid parcel]

yea

[waxen ibex]

if you dont have armor mods you unlock them through guardian rank or something

it's not something you have to farm

[rancid parcel]

oh oki but i hv to upgrade them or smth?

[waxen ibex]

no?

[rancid parcel]

oh ok

[cold geode]

Is there a way to not get invaded and spawn killed on these renegade missions….. such a awful feature

[fathom marten]

Yes, you have to choose any of them that do not have a red orange border

[sudden egret]

yep, choose the missions with no invasions

[fathom marten]

Basically, don't do any Contested Territory stuff and you won't be invaded

[fathom marten]

See how the one in the top left has that orange/yellow border with the invade symbol? Don't run the one with that

Or you can do them on private, which I think stops Invades as well

But it also means you're solo unless you make a team beforehand

[high lily]

holy hdr

[fathom marten]

Have to burn the image into my retinas so I can see it in my sleep

[ruby dagger]

Is Renegades genuinely worth it for a Star Wars fan perspective or is mostly just bait slop I’ve been considering getting it

[fathom marten]

If you're expecting the lore of Star Wars, you're going to be disappointed. If you're expecting the art style and design of Star Wars, it's all over the three destinations. They worked in conjunction with Lucasfilm on it

<@&1019968308973416448> scammer

[waxen ibex]

ironically the campaign was somewhat liked because it wasn't trying to rip off star wars 1:1

every single weapon in the dlc is just a star wars weapon though

[cold geode]

You get to do a trench run sooo……

[covert herald]

Yeah there was a relief that despite obvious surface level comparisons and visuals, the story and lore was still pretty Destiny ultimately

[ruby dagger]

Oh that’s kewl

Hmmm

[fathom marten]

Eris, missed one: #📚lore-discussion message

[fathom marten]

And one in #📚lore-discussion too

[cold geode]

Literally the original trilogy but Destiny

[ruby dagger]

So absolutely no correlation to Star Wars to its lore/characters it’s just Star Wars themed?

[fathom marten]

Correct

[ruby dagger]

Hmmmmmm

[fathom marten]

No Darth Vaders, Luke Skywalkers, etc.

No name drops

[ruby dagger]

It’s 50% off gen may get it

[waxen ibex]

story-wise it stops at being referential, like the main antagonist of the dlc is very obviously inspired by kylo ren, drifter is put onto a character arc that somewhat mirrors han solo, etc

[cold geode]

They recreated a few scenes from film. Trench run, endor, hoth etc

Ain’t gonna spoil when u first come across drifter. That shit had me cackling.

[fathom marten]

They've even got the Wilhelm scream, the obligatory hand cut off, and more

[waxen ibex]

the 3 lawless frontier maps are also pretty obviously inspired by iconic star wars settings

[ruby dagger]

I’ll prolly get it then does it correlate to Destiny 2 lore at all or is its own thing

Like does it go into a certain order

[cold geode]

It follows up question about the nine.

[waxen ibex]

it follows up on edge of fate

and edge of fate is the start of their whole new storyline since all the witness shit is done

[ruby dagger]

I’m currently on the start of Lightfall

(New player)

That’s why I ask

[cold geode]

Ok so after final shape. It’s baso I new story

[waxen ibex]

final shape ended a whole 10 year story arc and edge of fate is starting another major story arc

so yeah you'd be quite a bit ahead of things then

[ruby dagger]

Ic

So just go through the campaign line gotcha

[fathom marten]

Yep

[ruby dagger]

I’ll buy it later today then prolly

[fathom marten]

Lightfall > The Final Shape > The Edge of Fate > Renegades

[cold geode]

No rush. They don’t sunset content anymore.

(Give me back red war bungie you bastards)

[ruby dagger]

Oh it’s mostly cause it’s half off right now

[waxen ibex]

d2 stuff is on sale more often than not

[cold geode]

https://tenor.com/view/sly-dog-bad-gif-18533323

[ruby dagger]

I only started playing cause it had a massive bundle for $11

[waxen ibex]

yeah that's available for like 60% of the year

[ruby dagger]

But yeah glad I finally here took me long enough

[covert herald]

The work and resources that would have to be put into recoding all that to bring it back would not be worth the result

People would play the campaign once again, remember how lackluster it is, and then obviously wouldn’t play it again anyway because it’s a campaign

And unless they resold it (which would be unpopular), Bungie would just be out of pocket for it

[cold geode]

Wish they could’ve remastered it at least. Instead of working on that god awful marathon game.

[covert herald]

[fathom marten]

Marathon's actually great

[cold geode]

Hate it

Played 3 games at my mates

[covert herald]

I’m not getting into that here. That’s subjective and will just derail the channel

But I don’t know what you think is different by “just remaster it” to what I said

[odd vigil]

so i want a good roll on my getaway artist exotic how can i get good rolls i need gernade stats

[cold geode]

I’m just saying….. wish they would’ve instead of marathon

[odd vigil]

and whats archityepes?

[cold geode]

Go onto your ghost. And choose grenadier mod.

Then armour will drop with grenade and super mostly

[odd vigil]

yo thanks i got the roll, i returend to d2 and this is new to me

[high lily]

focus at rahool with a gunner ghost mod

you want this

[odd vigil]

got it thx

[high lily]

that is NOT the same stat spread

and health is entirely useless in pve

[cold geode]

He seems happy with stats 🤷🏻‍♂️

[high lily]

that doesnt make health stat usable

[cold geode]

Don’t be a weirdo.

[high lily]

?

[odd vigil]

i just wanted a gernade main im happy ngl i can use my build now

[high lily]

its the chat for new players, why wouldnt i give info about it

[fathom marten]

Archetypes are the new way Bungie is doing stats. The archetype of a piece of armor determines the highest two stats on that armor, the last one is random. On Grenadier, for example, each piece of Grenadier armor will always have Grenade as the highest and Super as the second highest.

The other ones are Brawler for Melee and Health, Gunner for Weapons and Grenade, Specialist for Class and Weapons, Paragon for Super and Melee, and Bulwark for Health and Class. First one is highest, second is second highest.

[cold geode]

Not necessarily just for new players……

And I never disagreed with health stat being useless in pve.

I just said he was clearly happy with his current roll. As it’s obvious bro is not trying to min-max a build. As you implied he’s a “new player looking for help”

[high lily]

i am still allowed to give recommendations and share my thoughts on it

[cold geode]

Never said you wasn’t allowed? 💀

[odd vigil]

also whats the website that spreads the stats i forgot it its like DIM

[cold geode]

You just came off extremely negative with “NOT”

[blissful arch]

yeah because it's clearly NOT the same

I think you're the only one here seeing an issue

[ruby dagger]

Anywho

[cold geode]

Who was speaking to you….. 💀

[ruby dagger]

If I have extra stats I just dump it in weapon yeah?

[cold geode]

Can’t go wrong with weapon damage

[high lily]

d2armorpicker?

[ruby dagger]

Okey

[odd vigil]

THANK YOU!

[high lily]

no point putting stats into weapons unless you can get 150 at least

[covert herald]

I hope armorpicker is still going

[ruby dagger]

I’m running a 200 super build so er

Most likely not

[covert herald]

Foundry and BrayTech are both gone right?

[high lily]

yea

[ruby dagger]

Weapon is like at 40 or smth

[quiet beacon]

im interested in buying edge of fate + renegades, do i need both? havent played destiny in a while, last time i played it was right before edge of fate released.

how is endgame? im more of a pve than a pvp player, i enjoy repetitive dungeons etc.

can someone help me make a decision whether to buy both, buy it at all etc

[blissful arch]

Renegades is a lot more important towards pve than eof

[high lily]

year of prophecy is the price of 1 dlc because of the current steam sale, and includes both Renegades and EoF

Edge of Fate also has by far the best raid

[quiet beacon]

so year of prophecy is 39.99 (cad right now) and it includes both edge of fate and renegades??

[high lily]

endgame rn is fairly easy but still fun, and in the major update releasing 9th of June, theyre updating every previous raid and dungeon to have T5 loot

[high lily]

yes

[blissful arch]

that's a crazy deal if that's true

I would get that for sure

[quiet beacon]

itsd 60% off

like i said i havent played destiny in a while, and ive never gotten to end game in destiny as i never had people to play with so i fell off it

would it be worth it to get the ultimate edition? i love customizing my character so if the ultimate edition doesnt do a whole lot id rather spend the extra money on cosmetics

[cold geode]

Are the crossbows any good?

Still never got one as last one was locked behind a raid. And seen I can get one from portal now

[high lily]

ultimate gives extra upgrade mats, 1 star wars ornament set for each class and the New Land Beyond exotic sniper

i dont think its that worth it

[quiet beacon]

okay so i just realized i have edge of fate, so i only need renegades

[high lily]

only one that is, isnt obtainable

[quiet beacon]

i have every single dlc but renegades

renegades for me is 50% off making it 25 bucks CAD so i might aswell just buy it

[ruby dagger]

Yeah! For me it’s $19.99 usd half off

[fathom marten]

Are you on Steam?

[ruby dagger]

I may join you on that

[quiet beacon]

yea im on steam

[fathom marten]

Check GreenManGaming.com to see if it's cheaper there. It's what all the mods that are on Steam use as well

[quiet beacon]

its 4 dollars cheaper, im not worried about 4 dollars, rather just get it from steam

[fathom marten]

Fair enough

[odd vigil]

so i got year of prophecy should i complete edge of fate first or order does not matter?

[quiet beacon]

idk if i can ask this here but does anyone know discord servers or anything that have people that i could play with? im 21 so like 18+ servers wouldnt matter

[fathom marten]

Order only matters if you care about the story

[drifting plinth]

;lfg has a few good ones

[fresh drift]

I assume with the John Chunk fix, it also fixed the flechette chunk as well?

[drifting plinth]

probably not

cause they fixed the weaken stuff specifically

[fresh drift]

But isn’t that how flechette chunks, with the weakening melee artifact mod?

[fathom marten]

They might've just fixed only HHSN

Flechette isn't mentioned in the TWID

[fresh drift]

It depends on wether they fixed weaken stacking in general, or just for hhsn’s properties

I would imagine with how they worded it that they fixed weaken stacking entirely. But yk, its bungie

[fathom marten]

We'll find out on Tuesday

[cold geode]

Question, does the crossbow bolt DOT stack per bolt?

[fathom marten]

Assuming this is about Charged Bolts, no

[cold geode]

Damn

[fathom marten]

@covert herald Another scammer :/

[fresh drift]

[cold geode]

Anyone know drop rate for refraction core?

And where impact core is actually supposed to come from, one of the faction vendors at random?

[ruby dagger]

Holy D1 is $4 right now wtf

Guess I’m playing both

[fathom marten]

Bungie doesn't publish drop percentages, like, ever. Impact core is from a chest next to Aunor on the weekends from Friday to Tuesday

You'll need at least 4k credits for Impact core

[cold geode]

Could’ve warned me there was more chests. My dumbass walked up to one.

Praxic vestment.

Walked up to another…. Praxic vestment.

Third times charm. Impact core 💀💀

[fathom marten]

I'm pretty certain it just says "Purchase Impact Core" as the text prompt lol

[cold geode]

I didn’t even read em 💀

I just spent like 12k 💀💀💀

[fathom marten]

Not helping the Destiny 2 players can't read allegations

[cold geode]

7k credits left anyway

[trim axle]

can i get hyperblade before completing praxics path

[fathom marten]

Yes? But you can't insert it until you complete the quest

[trim axle]

alr

js wondering cuz im on step 6 of it and may as well grab it now

cuz i need to do fire and ice

[fathom marten]

Like doing in the same run? Sure

[cold geode]

What builds are titans running on grandmaster frontier?

[viscid wave]

Why is the update so big

[fathom marten]

Are you just downloading Destiny 1?

[twin cave]

how do i choose to enter the trials kiddie pool? instead of the real lobbies

[fathom marten]

Choose the non Lighthouse pass from Saint

It should also say which one is lower-stakes in the description

[twin cave]

can we still get adepts?

[viscid wave]

@fathom marten because I got a ps3

[trim axle]

you cannot

get it

before doing praxic path

because i did the run and the other two people got it and i didnt

[fathom marten]

To my knowledge, that's only from flawless runs on the Lighthouse passage

[twin cave]

the difference between adepts and reg, is pretty much nothing right?

[fathom marten]

Did you have the Praxic Blade prior to this?

[trim axle]

yeah?

obviously cuz the mission is part of the campaign before even unlocking praxic path

[fathom marten]

...right

[fathom marten]

They get to use Adept weapon mods

[trim axle]

there was a video on youtube that spoke of a glitch where you need to get upper hand as well or it doesn’t drop

[fathom marten]

Intriguing

[glacial hound]

fortunes rdms

[waxen ibex]

Didn't mention fortune because they don't have renegades

[cold geode]

Can kills with unbreakable trigger hands on?

[fathom marten]

No because Unbreakable is a grenade ability. It might trigger Ashes to Assets

[fathom marten]

You can get Fortune's Favor without the expansion

Just need to collect enough credits and then wait for Friday reset

Same with the rest of the Renegades armor

[odd vigil]

how can i farm mint retrograde for enhanced traits

[fathom marten]

You really can't. Your only option until June 9th is through Hawthorne's clan engrams, specifically the Raid and Pinnacle Ops ones

[odd vigil]

i remeber it used to be throught the portal i did like 5 and none dropped

[drifting plinth]

you had to do pinnacle ops

[waxen ibex]

Because it's from last season

[sudden egret]

all portal loot is new for this season

[cold geode]

How do I get the Star Wars sword?

The legendary one

[fathom marten]

Sullen Claw? Do the dungeon Equilibrium

[cold geode]

Is the dungeon hard?

[glacial hound]

one of the easiest

[fathom marten]

I've not yet done it myself

[cold geode]

Seeing as my clans and friends all quit so I’ll have to get randoms to teach me

Last time I did that….. was an experience

[fathom marten]

There's a list of clans in #clan-recruitment if you're looking to join a new one.

[cold geode]

Is there any Uk ONLY ones?

[turbid talon]

The regulars here have largely been in their clans for years. You'll have to look for yourself, honestly.

Try using the search bar, specifically for that channel.

[cold geode]

And just search Uk based?

Right well that dont help it just lists about 1000+ messages 🤣

[turbid talon]

Well, just "UK" should do the trick, as long as you're specifically searching that channel.

[turbid talon]

2008 is what I got, haha

[cold geode]

Here we go….. first one I see uk based.

Wants you to be solo MLG pro at raids just to join a clan 💀.

Don’t know why Im surprised with the state the LFGs used to be lmao

[turbid talon]

With all due respect, that isn't a problem. Some clans are designed to help new folks and even new raiders, some clans simply prefer experienced ones. The fact that they're openly advertising their preferences is a good thing.

[cold geode]

How are people expected to join a clan. When ppl think everyone sweats raids day in and day out

[turbid talon]

The very first one in my search bar offers Sherpas to new players

[turbid talon]

Dude actually look at the offerings
The first one on my list is for new players

[cold geode]

I’m looking

But half of them are same bloke

For my search

[turbid talon]

So put that person on Ignore and continue

[cold geode]

Tried. But when I try click on their name on search log it just highlights the whole message

If that makes sense

[fathom marten]

It's selecting the message for you to jump to it. So jump to it, click on the person there, ignore them, and then redo the search.

[cold geode]

Ahhh ok I see

God I hate discord

Also. Any recommendations weapons/builds for that dungeon.

[high lily]

sword for 1st boss
Psi Aeterna for 2nd

titan: Wormgod/Syntho + Solar Hammer, Banner of War + Syntho/Wormgod, Consecration Prismatic
warlock: Getaway, Boots of Assembler, Handheld Supernova still works until weekly reset
hunter: Hoil + Cyrt class item

[cold geode]

I have HOIL/syntho on class item. So that with sword and consec should be fine?

And what swords for dps?

[high lily]

Guillotine, Goldtusk, Bequest should work, Summum Bonum

[rancid parcel]

Guys i need advice yeah. New player, only hv legacy. Im using hunter and hvent completed any quests , working on tfs atm. I rlly wanna get into this game but im pretty lost regarding how to farm gear, get better gear as a newbie and what i should do in general. I kinda wanna get every good piece of gear so i can get to the part where i can hv fun making my own builds. Atm idk what builds i can evn run as a hunter. What are yalls suggestions to what i should do? A small roadmap and maybe an endgame build to work towards but isnt the hardest to get (smth i can use to at least efficiently farm all the gear i need) would help tyy

[cerulean sail]

early hunter you could use Young Ahamkara's Spine

[rancid parcel]

Where do i get that

[cerulean sail]

random drop exotic gloves

[rancid parcel]

What weaps do i run with it like what stuf shld i be using with it

[cerulean sail]

sunshot probably

[rancid parcel]

Oof thats painful

[cerulean sail]

solar
knock 'em down aspect, gunpowder gamble aspect
gambler's dodge
knife trick melee, tripmine grenade
ember of torches to make your knife kills give the full knife charge back
ember of resolve to get healed on grenade and gunpowder gamble kill
maybe ember of singeing to get class ability energy back quicker

[rancid parcel]

Oki how do i get solar btw

[cerulean sail]

one of Ikora's quests

[drifting plinth]

you can also just get a cipher from weekly pass, and an exotic engram from like xur and buy it

[drifting plinth]

note, the reason the knife refund works is cause torches gives radiant, and knock em down makes knife kills while radiant refund melee

[drifting plinth]

just wanted to point out both are needed

[rancid parcel]

Oh and rn shld i js be doing all the importsnt campaigns before entering portal?

[drifting plinth]

yes

[rancid parcel]

Im kinda lost on my build tho

[drifting plinth]

important campaigns being beyond light, lightfall and final shape

[cerulean sail]

i've just given you it

[drifting plinth]

^

[rancid parcel]

Yep im on the last mission on final shape(i skipped everyrthing else for now)

[drifting plinth]

another easy one is the ophidia spathe knife build

[rancid parcel]

Mhm mhm its js a pain

[drifting plinth]

then just use prism combo blow grapple(after unlock from campaign adventures) hunter

[cerulean sail]

the unlocking part sure

[drifting plinth]

winter's shroud+stylish

min 50 melee, 70 class

rest into as much nade as possible

[rancid parcel]

Wha

[drifting plinth]

combination blow+gambler's dodge

[rancid parcel]

English plws xD

[cerulean sail]

prismatic build is more complicated

[rancid parcel]

Ah huh im using a horrendously sub par but works variant of that rn

My stats r cooked

Thats it

[drifting plinth]

dodge refunds punch, punch refunds dodge

[drifting plinth]

as long as youve got the mininums descibed above, youre good

[rancid parcel]

Dk how gamblers works i using the one that gives u radiant

[rancid parcel]

Oki ill try to get those

[broken forge]

dont forget, you must be at least 70 melee for the melee refund

[drifting plinth]

mentioned above, also, it's 50

[cerulean sail]

gambler's dodge can give you your full melee charge back

[broken forge]

or was it the class ability stat

[rancid parcel]

Oh and how about my weapons for bosses n stuff

[broken forge]

ah whoops

thats what i get for not reading above

[drifting plinth]

50 melee(gambler's gives 1% per point of melee stat, doubled when near enemies), 70 class

[drifting plinth]

psi aeterna

heavy weapon id use an eager edge sword if you can get one

[rancid parcel]

Oh the psi thing yeah i got one of those

[rancid parcel]

Is heavy meaning my primary weap or the power weap

[drifting plinth]

power weapon

[cerulean sail]

heavy is power

[drifting plinth]

kinetic is top slot, energy is middle slot, heavy is power slot

[cerulean sail]

kinetic is first slot
energy is second slot

[rancid parcel]

Yep

But isnt that rllt little dps xD js using my kinetic does no dmg to any of the bosses

So ive been using a power weapon

Lemme chek what its called

[cerulean sail]

you're not yet aware of the method :)

[rancid parcel]

Are kinetics js ass?

[cerulean sail]

but yes generally damage is done with a power weapon

[cerulean sail]

mostly, except special ammo pulses (psi aeterna being one)

[rancid parcel]

Isnt psi an energy

[cerulean sail]

energy but it's a special ammo pulse

[rancid parcel]

What that mean

Ik it uses special ammo dk how to get it so smtimes i js hv no ammo

[cerulean sail]

the kinetic and energy slots can have primary(infinite ammo) weapons and special ammo(limited ammo but higher damage) weapons

[drifting plinth]

the only non power weapons used for damage are rocket pulses, snipers, uncivil discourse and fast talker really

also like area denials sometimes in a rotation

[rancid parcel]

Yeah i think im using one of the free exotics for my kinetic

[cerulean sail]

for regular gameplay you'd want one primary for random adds and one special for tougher targets

[rancid parcel]

Oh yeah rn shld i finish up tfs or js focus on getting either of the builds u or nexius recommended first?

[drifting plinth]

unless you're doing a double special build(way better than having a primary mostly) but that's for a later date

[rancid parcel]

I wanna get to the part where im not stuck hving to use stuff to barrly hv the dps and ammo to go thru my missions

[cerulean sail]

campaigns don't require much, you can just do it and get to building later

[rancid parcel]

Ok ill finish tfs and new light

What else do i need to do

[cerulean sail]

if you want to, campaigns; otherwise farming the portal i guess

[rancid parcel]

So once im done with tfs and new light is when i shld start getting a build going right? Hopefully either of the one u guys recommended dont wanna invest time to get good rolls for long whiles till i get everything like legendaries to exos

[cerulean sail]

you could just get a build now, nothing's stopping you

it's up to you

[lapis halo]

yo guys i havent played since the start of final shape.. i think im like a fifth of the way through final shape. i am excited to continue the campaign for it. any advice for my resumption?

[cerulean sail]

jump right in

[rancid parcel]

I wld but im also broke in terms of gear and idw farm portal for 30 hrs if idk if ill be sticking to that build yk?

[lapis halo]

really? i just assumed there was other stuff i should do first or learn about or something..

[rancid parcel]

I rlly like build variety in games so i wanna get to the part where i hv that

[lapis halo]

WTF is this audio quality bro

i just launched d2 for the first time in 2 years bro and WTF Is this

[cerulean sail]

nothing added in between the campaign missions lol

[lapis halo]

does anyone know wtf is wrong with my audio

like its beyond terrible

it sounds like im recording audio from a movie by using the camera app on an iphone 4 in a shitty 50 year old movie theater and listening back to it on a ps vita

[drifting plinth]

must be your audio setup

[lapis halo]

its literally only this game

i have played like 150+ games on this pc

this game is the ONLY one

[drifting plinth]

cause this games audio is pretty good for like way most people

must be this game interacting with your setup in a wierd way

cause this game does that sometimes

for example, sometimes it decides to output in game vc to a device that doesnt actually exist

[lapis halo]

yeaah like it usually is

ive been playing d1 and d2 for over 10 years and this is the first time im ahving this happen

[cerulean sail]

check your settings idk

audio hasn't changed

turn off windows' spatial sound too

[lapis halo]

its only with my headphones

like it sounds fine on my monitor

but when i turn oin my headphones it turns to shit

this same thing happened to me in dying light the beast

when i tried using my mic

[cerulean sail]

ok so it's not the game

[lapis halo]

no it is

they both have the same bug

like the game messes up headphone audio

[high lily]

are you using a bluetooth headset

[lapis halo]

yes

[cerulean sail]

and it happens only with some of your hardware

[lapis halo]

https://www.reddit.com/r/destiny2/comments/dcl5pt/destiny_2_pc_sends_my_bluetooth_headphones_into/

[high lily]

you gotta turn off some setting on your pc

[lapis halo]

people have been having this issue for like years on destiny

yeah it says 7 years

[high lily]

it puts your headphones into call mode

[lapis halo]

ik

idk why dying light the beast does that too

its super annoying

[high lily]

turn off the setting on your pc then

[lapis halo]

tbh i hate it when my phone does it too even when i AM in a call

[cerulean sail]

why's there even a call mode, it's audio either way

[high lily]

something to do with phones

when listening to music on my phone and start a call, the music goes really really bad quality

the setting is called "hands free technology"

[lapis halo]

bro wtf

all my recording devices are already disabled

how could this possibly be happening

[cerulean sail]

that's so unbelievably stupid

[high lily]

try double clicking your headphones then go to the services tab

[lapis halo]

wait no

its not even in that window

its in a diff part of control panel

there we go

it's fixed

hell yes

[cerulean sail]

gg

[lapis halo]

had to disabled hands free telephony in control panel sound settings of my headset

[high lily]

i had the same issue with my current headset

[lapis halo]

at least its fixable tho

is this considered to be like good

like stats wise, for my osteo striga

WTF WHY AM I POWER 10

[cerulean sail]

it peaked during Witch Queen

[lapis halo]

i meant like the weapon lvl and enemies defeated

[high lily]

i think a better question is why you dont have exotic armor on

[cerulean sail]

because new saga means new power floor

[cerulean sail]

doesn't matter

[lapis halo]

no i just mean like is it an impressive amount? i just dont remember like numbers in this game and if thats a decent amount or not

[cerulean sail]

probably

[lapis halo]

no idea

havent been on in years lmao

[high lily]

people afk farm kills on weapons all the time
if i see numbers that high i just assume thats what they did

[lapis halo]

u can do that?

how

[high lily]

a few places

[lapis halo]

can someone explain my build i dont know what i have on and why i have it on

[cerulean sail]

nothing here says anything about your build or what it does

[drifting plinth]

your build doesnt exist really

[lapis halo]

idk i could have just had on like some temporary stuff i was just trying on for a second

like aesthetic stuff or smth

uhhh wtf

why are strand and void locked..

[clear aurora]

you unlock them after tfs

[lapis halo]

but i had them literally years ago

i had void in 2017 and strand in 2023..

[clear aurora]

oh i thought you meant within the prismatic subclass

[lapis halo]

oh i did

i guess

i forgot about prismatic lmao

yeah nvm

what even is prismatic again? i forgot

[turbid talon]

Bits and pieces of each subclass mixed into one.

[lapis halo]

ohh

thats cool

what quest am i even supposed to do now

idk why i never finished shadowkeep lol

[turbid talon]

First: You can put multiple images into one message. Second...

Well, it depends. You haven't finished your crafting tutorial, you haven't finished your Solar subclass tutorial. You haven't finished Final Shape or Shadowkeep, and you've got Post-Campaign missions of Beyond Light left.
I'd probably look at one of those.

Final Shape will unlock more of Prismatic.

[lapis halo]

damn what did i even do in my 1.5k hours of destiny 2 lmao

barely seems like i did anything

[lapis halo]

oh i didnt do the solar cuz i already have tons of young ahamkara spines

[cerulean sail]

cus it's boring as fuck and bad

[lapis halo]

lmao maybe

i thought it sucked

beyond light was like decent

kinda ehh

witch queen was pretty cool

lightfall was goated

yet to see TFS tho

btw

wtf does this mean

[turbid talon]

It's an Exotic that you get after the campaign. It does good damage to a particular enemy type.

Thaumiel is telling you to get a friend who has the gun.

This is not necessary.

[lapis halo]

ah okay

makes sense now

[lapis halo]

which of the missions i sent are the post campaign ones for beyond light

[turbid talon]

The Stasis Prototype and Born In Darkness Part 4.

[lapis halo]

so why should i do those

[azure prism]

what causes this to happen when someone tries to rejoin?

[turbid talon]

Why should you play the game?

[lapis halo]

xur nix ur xi shama

is riptide still goated for pve

[turbid talon]

Not really.

[lapis halo]

also i dont have an exotic armor on bc im looking at it

and my legendary armor has much better stats for some reason

idk why

know how to fix this>

?

[turbid talon]

Exotic perks matter significantly more than their stats.

[lapis halo]

whats like a good exotic i can put on thats just like generally great all around

and isnt specific to a build

[turbid talon]

Well, pretty much good Exotics are specific to a build, but... Sixth Coyote, maybe.

[lapis halo]

then what exotic should i rock

like i just dont really know what build i want to use

since i dont know what i want or need/like since i havent been on in years

[turbid talon]

Most of the top builds these days use Prismatic, which you have barely begun to unlock.

Perhaps you could start there.

[lapis halo]

alr

then ill just keep rockiong my all legendaary armor until i get more stuff

is witherhoard still a goat

in pve

[turbid talon]

No, but that's in solid part due to the existence of replacement options in Legendary Area Denial Frame Special Grenade Launchers.

[lapis halo]

LADFSGL?

and are the LADFSGLs obtaainable with where i am in TFS?

[turbid talon]

They released with Episode Echoes, the first content update after Final Shape.
The Vesper's Host Dungeon has one, for example.

[quartz sun]

Motif 41 is a portal drop area denial frame

[lapis halo]

how do i get it

can you like explain what these new gls are

[quartz sun]

Shoot like witherhord

Make ground hurt

Look through portal activities to find one that drips it

Or wait zavala

[latent linden]

is something something or praedyths revenge a better sniper

[boreal patio]

praedyths

[forest dagger]

What xur got today

Anything even slightly good?

[sudden egret]

nope

[jaunty whale]

they fire a 3 shot burst of elemental damage pools basically

[proven narwhal]

I’m playing through renegade, I’m new to the game and I keep getting weapon loot and credit loot boxes that say they can be encrypted, how do I do this

[high lily]

at the end of Lawless Frontier theres a deposit box

[wispy trout]

Returning player, can anyone tell me what the meta build is for solo pve right now? Doesn’t matter what class

[shut dirge]

Are the Destiny servers up and do you need Xbox Gold to play Destiny 2?

[analog lion]

best warlock pvp armor mods?

particularly for using auto rifles and shotguns

[little pewter]

the #🟩server-status🟩 says the servers are up. I believe Xbox Gold is not needed to play D2, if it is needed, its only for the online parts of the content.

[analog lion]

prismatic warlock getaway artist and hellion

ascension hunter is also still pretty good i hear

[shut dirge]

most people are also unable to play and they havent fixed it, its mostly a problem from their side and microsoft removed the gold needed for free-games

[analog lion]

im on rm

rn

[little pewter]

Elaborate

[analog lion]

seems fine

[little pewter]

People are not reporting that they're not able to play on D2

[shut dirge]

yeah from months ago and there was a post recently regarding Xbox players unable to play

I used to play a few years ago.

1-2 years ago

[glacial hound]

xbox is perfectly fine huh

[little pewter]

correction: generally Xbox players are reporting they are able to play.

The issue is on your end

[royal temple]

how can i upgrade an exotic armor piece to lvl 10?

[ruby dagger]

I believe it only goes to 5 no?

[ruby dagger]

Wth

Nvm ig

[royal temple]

but somehow my same armor piece at lvl 5 has better stats?

how is that?

[high lily]

holy hdr

[royal temple]

yeah thats not wahat am seeing lol

[high lily]

exotic armor is capped at what Tier 2 is

[royal temple]

meaning?

[high lily]

then you have a pre-edge of fate exotic armor piece

[royal temple]

oh

so a waste of mats

lol

[storm parcel]

Where are the last 2 grand masters I need to do? I've already completed everything on the conquest table?

[high lily]

they wont be available until june 9th

[storm parcel]

Wait, isn't that when the season is over?

[high lily]

no

thats when the major update releases

[cerulean sail]

no, the major update is the mid-season update

[storm parcel]

Oh, alright

To be honest I'm only really doing these since I feels like I've got nothing else to do lol

[rancid tundra]

Do you like gambit?

[storm parcel]

Can you use bolt charge without the arc subclass? Or is this better paired with the matching subclass?

[high lily]

using a weapon that gives bolt charge on the arc subclass is a waste

[storm parcel]

Oh?

[high lily]

and perks like Rolling Storm are awful on anything

[storm parcel]

I'm confused. Why?

[glad crag]

Because arc subclasses can easily gain the one stack of BC needed for any weapons to then build stacks. So Rolling takes the spot of any actual useful perks

[cerulean sail]

bolt charge also needs ability damage to be discharged

[storm parcel]

Doesn't the arc subclass fix that though? Giving you a thing to discharge via weapon

[glad crag]

Nope

[cerulean sail]

only arc titan, via their storm's keep aspect

[storm parcel]

(I play titan sooo...)

[cerulean sail]

well then rolling storm is even more useless

[storm parcel]

Whats rolling storm then?

[cerulean sail]

builds up stacks of bolt charge on kill

[glad crag]

Omg we just explained it

And one stack is all you need

[storm parcel]

Ooooh, wait. I'm looking at Thunderlord. Not the other machine gun

Different perk

[glad crag]

[storm parcel]

Thunderlord also give charge

[glad crag]

Read the full explanation of bolt charge in game

You should hopefully see that gaining stacks after having at least one is super easy without wasting a perk

[honest charm]

Are we getting a new dlc or no info?

[cerulean sail]

shattered cycle, no info about it though

or the alchemist, whichever comes first i forgot

[glad crag]

Shattered Cycle

Coming August at the earliest

[royal temple]

can you cange the armor set of a specific gear piece?

[cerulean sail]

you can change an armor piece's appearance, to change the set bonus you need to obtain another piece from the right set

[royal temple]

i mean

i have a good gear piece

stats talking

but i need another set bonus

nothing i can do right?

[cerulean sail]

right

you'd have to get another piece in the right set and get lucky that it maybe has the same stats

[trim axle]

i’m trying to do guardian rank 8 and one of the things is a famine modifier but it says that it’s unavailable

[sudden egret]

Disable this week for heavy surge. Gotta wait for next week.

[trim axle]

bruh

[sudden egret]

You’ll live

[storm parcel]

I do wish that instead of locking people out of the mod, it instead just disabled the surge

[sudden egret]

That’s too complicated for the bungie intern devs

[trim axle]

😭 😭

[cerulean sail]

too much to ask of the skeleton crew

[storm parcel]

Is there a good way to farm for the M-17 fast talker? I'm trying to get a good roll for it with the origin trait but I either buy it with credits and get nothing for 4 stars, or rarely get it from doing missions

[sudden egret]

that's about it

outside of the weekly spider quest and upgrade

[proven narwhal]

at what power level to start rading, im new to destiny 2 but was playing d1 from release until d2 came out and wanna run some of the old raids on d2

[sudden egret]

power doesn't matter much outside of the newest raid/dungeon and even those don't have high power requirements. It's more about decent gear for a build and having a weapon for dps.

[proven narwhal]

Ah okay, I’ll look up good builds etc

Thanks

[storm parcel]

Damn... Another question. Whats the bst roll for it? Or at lest runner up. I've seen arguments for Weapon Master and Targer lock, with either Demo or Attrition Orbs in the first slot.

[sudden egret]

depends what you are using it for. The best use case is with peacekeepers on titans and you'll want baubles + target lock + AA for dps

[storm parcel]

AA?

[sudden egret]

the shiny origin trait, accelerated assult

[storm parcel]

Oh right, sorry

[sudden egret]

for more general play, orbs + master of arms is probably better

[storm parcel]

At the momment I just want a primary that feels like it does something lol. And even with a non shiny fast talker... it puts in work. The only other primary I have that feels like it isn't just for show is the Zealous Ideal, but that's a different slot

And having Accelarated means that if I do use Peacekeeper it will be even better

[sudden egret]

yeah, there's not many good legendary primaries and even less that are obtainable right now

and farming non-tired ones is even more painful

[storm parcel]

Having a choice between Fast Talker and Zealous is nice since it means I'm free to having a good primary with any secondary I want

But I just need to get said Fast talker

[sudden egret]

yeah, I have a decent roll but I still buy 3 a day when they are on sale

[storm parcel]

There's no alterative origin for Zealous right? The dungeon weapons all have the same perk?

[sudden egret]

yeah

no shiny dungeon weapons

[storm parcel]

Alright, thank goodness. I'd hate to have to farm that

[storm parcel]

I heard the sale ones have a better chance to be masterworked?

Is that true?

[sudden egret]

no clue

i did hear invansion drops are more likely to be shiny tho

[storm parcel]

Also how much difference does having a teir 5 make to the origin?

[sudden egret]

6% vs 5% damage buff

[storm parcel]

Becuase I think I found a decent 4 star one lol

[sudden egret]

usable

[storm parcel]

Demo + master isn't bad

[cerulean sail]

gacha terminology

[storm parcel]

Also, Generally what is the best mod to put on these things? I usually put range or counter balance on depending on the recoil stats. Range just being nice for shooting father away. But idk how much of a differnce it makes

(This question being for weapons in general)

[boreal patio]

range/stability/rd are pretty useless to upgrade for pve

range upgrade are usually only like 1-2m every 10 range so you basically never feel it

[storm parcel]

Huh... so umm... whats the good stuff then lol

There's gotta be some perk that's good

[boreal patio]

reload/handling for pve, or some of the seasonal mods are great if you have them

lowering heat generated is solid on heat guns also

[storm parcel]

Every now and then I use the unstop one. Depends on if I need it, ther anti barrier one is kinda eh. I'd rather just use my uncivil discourse or lightsaber for barriers

[storm parcel]

What about Ammo Generation? I almost forgot about this one

[torn flame]

dude when are guardian games

[cerulean sail]

24th

[torn flame]

Tell them tach said to make it sooner

[cerulean sail]

will pass it on

[sudden egret]

We did, they said deal with it

[torn flame]

Tell them i will deal with them if they don’t

[sudden egret]

they don't care about you

[torn flame]

They will

[sudden egret]

negative

[calm crane]

Nah they don’t care about 1 single player

[latent linden]

best activity for getting gear to power level?

[proven narwhal]

I finished renegade expansion, is it possible to do now?

[sand hearth]

told them

they are scared now

gj :/

[fathom marten]

Credit boxes must be deposited at the end of a Lawless Frontier activity. If they are not, they are deleted. You do not get to keep them for multiple runs.

[proven narwhal]

Oh bruh

[nova atlas]

i want a specific ghost shell from the "welcome to episode:revenant"-bundle (deep whisper shell). is there a way to get this ghost shell nowadays?

[ruby dagger]

What stat do I max out for a PvE Praxic Song of flame build?

Grenade or Super?

[weak oriole]

barrier one can break vog and gos sheilds

[storm parcel]

Forgive me, it's been a while. 5 years since I last played and had to make a new account. But what sheilds?
