[thick veldt]

Offensive Form gives it Relentless Strikes. The perk that makes swords normally rarely run out of ammo.

[zealous wyvern]

if you say so

[raven ginkgo]

ya get used to it being a staple in your loadout people, it aint goin away anytime soon lol

[zealous wyvern]

wish it kinda wasn't. Half of every build video I see somehow brings the Praxic Blade into it

[thick veldt]

Only thing that would take it out is if Bungie introduces some insane non-sword mods.

[zealous wyvern]

not even Quicksilver Storm got this much usage

[thick veldt]

The artifact is heavily sword-focused, Praxic Blade is a kinetic sword with built-in elemental verbs.

It synergizes with every subclass, build, and even armor sets like Techset.

But, Augur still exists.

[zealous wyvern]

but they can and will nerf it, this is Bungie after all. The moment the next DLC comes and a new hype exotic is introduced they're gutting this sword

[thick veldt]

Bungie likely wanted to make it a universal exotic so that people who were fans of Star Wars could play with whatever loadout and have it perform well.

[raven ginkgo]

nah, they want that renegades DLC money man, it aint goin away like you want it to, just use it and love it like the rest of us

[thick veldt]

And like I said, it's strong because of its mechanics and the fact that the artifact is purpose-built for it.

[zealous wyvern]

two guns: Osteo Striga and Quicksilver Storm

the instant the next DLC dropped both were gutted

[thick veldt]

If you want a weapon that's stronger than the blade, even with the artifact, you see people using Finality's Augur in just about everything, even before the blade came out.

[raven ginkgo]

thats cool but those arent as big of a deal or cost bungie as much money as the praxic blade did. The price they paid to be able to use that IP had to be insane

[harsh kiln]

main menu music is amazing too xD

[blissful scaffold]

https://youtu.be/x23I8f9PwlI?si=C7DVlBd3wjGQWJxs i am on 600 loop

Thanks to you @harsh kiln diep shiet. This lives rent free in my head

[harsh kiln]

oh btw, for the people that have combat telemetry but can't use it with Ada... bungie has 3 different versions of combat telemetry and you are just getting the one that can't be used for this event... thank god for the terraria drop

[harsh kiln]

xD I am LITERALLY listening to it rn ingame

[thick veldt]

Huh, so the sub-arrows from the shattercap-I mean shattershot-I mean shattershafts mod come out at max velocity.

[blissful scaffold]

@harsh kiln

[harsh kiln]

Flow state achieved

[thick veldt]

Frankly, more amazed the people sick of the lightsaber aren't sick of rocket pulses more lol.

[zealous wyvern]

well Rocket Pulses don't make up just about every single build video

I like the blade but I dont wanna overuse it and have it get stale by putting it on every build, y'know

[thick veldt]

Rocket pulses in fact, have been a staple part of every single endgame build since Edge of Fate dropped.

[blissful scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/brad-uchiha-katana-studied-the-blade-gif-22660259

[thick veldt]

They are freight trains loaded with explosives, with a strong ammo econonmy.

[zealous wyvern]

okay how many builds use rocket pulses as the primary part of the build and not just because they're good on their own

[blissful scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/terraria-dog-the-situation-im-in-rn-gif-12202597808913004719

@harsh kiln

[thick veldt]

So, something that is universally good is worse than something that's used to boost a build? A skeleton key is stronger than a regular key.

[blissful scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/road-runner-gif-25548742

[raven ginkgo]

are we really complaining about having good weapons for all content? we can go back to having terrible weapons for everything lol

[blissful scaffold]

Use pistol for dps

[thick veldt]

The lightsaber is as oppressive as it is due to the fact that the artifact has almost half of its perks dedicated to it. When the artifact is gone it will be a reliable, but not overbearing tool.

[raven ginkgo]

oppressive? LOL nothing will make you people happy

[thick veldt]

I'm saying it's oppressive because it is currently being put in a majority of builds. It's getting treated like a requirement. Only times it gets pushed out is for things that Finality's Augur does better in the endgame.

[heady stratus]

Oppressive in turning a 5 min activity into 15 min

[vocal marten]

Mace and shield

[blissful scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/evangelion-neon-genesis-evangelion-flag-pen-pen-portugal-gif-17780656658612639246

[vocal marten]

I don't think this takes the full extent of buildcrafting into account.

[thick veldt]

It would need to be first-person to avoid bringing back 3 peeking in PVP. So a pure melee weapon wouldn't work.

While a dagger or simmilar would be a good choice, sadly Hunters have the market cornered on them already.

Bungie: Gives us a shotgun bow mod. Also Bungie:

[molten condor]

Chudsaber

[raven ginkgo]

thats,,,,, not what oppression is lol

[frigid hatch]

it's still good without it

[thick veldt]

It means you're being pressed to use it. Which the artifact is doing in droves. And yes, it is a proper use of 'oppressive'.

[torn ridge]

servers are down ?

[thick veldt]

You'd be hard-pressed not to use the thing that the arficat benefits the most, after all.

[thick veldt]

I'm in just fine, so probably just you.

[tired oriole]

have i mentioned that i hate rocket pulses and they shouldve just made more rocket sudearms

[raven ginkgo]

so using the praxic blade is systematic and unjust and being used to control and marginalize players? lol

[tired oriole]

Bro

Yes

[raven ginkgo]

its literally just a meta weapon, by this definition every meta loadout is "oppressive" lol

[tired oriole]

sword isnt that good tho

[thick veldt]

There's more than one meaning.

Discomfort in this case refering to not running the best loadout.

[tired oriole]

the best loadout is not the praxic blade

[raven ginkgo]

yes but it doesnt apply here, meta weapons are not oppressive, ffs what is going on with people

[thick veldt]

The best loadout contains the praxic blade.

[tired oriole]

it aint thqt deep i think

[tired oriole]

no!

[thick veldt]

At least for general play and sections of endgame content.

[tired oriole]

i will do better with my loadout vs anyone with praxic blade flipping around

[thick veldt]

If you'd rather use a more direct word, omnipresent fits too.

[raven ginkgo]

brother, I think you need to take a break

[tired oriole]

sword is good and its a bit too good

but there are more oppressive things inthe game

like the one shot abilities!

[molten condor]

What is the praxic blade

[tired oriole]

noob

[thick veldt]

Lightsaber.

[molten condor]

Is that the dark saber thing

[raven ginkgo]

if meta is oppressive, then so is every single section of this game with mario platforming jump puzzles

[tired oriole]

super noob

[tired oriole]

?

[molten condor]

Do ppl use lightsabers unironically

[raven ginkgo]

im using youre own logic you just tried to apply to a meta weapon

[cursive pelican]

idk what to do

[tired oriole]

my own logic

[thick veldt]

There's a gap between meta and oppessive. The lightsaber is a forced meta by way of the artifact. It being indirectly forced is what leads to it being oppressive.

[raven ginkgo]

if this confuses you, then youre logic isnt sound, which is my point

[tired oriole]

i dont think im making the argument ur arguing against but yeah im the confused one

[raven ginkgo]

youre just choosing the wrong words for an item in a video game that you can easily not play

[tired oriole]

yep me

[molten condor]

Forced meta is a stupid term

What meta isnt forced

[tired oriole]

fr bungie makes the numbers

[raven ginkgo]

100% people need to chill

[tired oriole]

who isnt chill rn

[molten condor]

Me

[raven ginkgo]

people refferring to a game item as oppressive lol

[tired oriole]

calm down dudde

[thick veldt]

The forced part is in the point of Bungie directly incentivising it, not one that happened by player decisions.

[raven ginkgo]

ya, because they are a business and want your money, just like every other developer

[molten condor]

What meta has ever happened by player decisions

Meta is dictated by bungie

Making things strong or weak

[thick veldt]

Natural metas come about by people finding the strongest thing. There are currently 11 perks in the artifact that directly benefit the praxic blade.

[tired oriole]

the secret rocket meta during the linear fusion era

[molten condor]

The game is not big or complex enough where something could go unfound

Maybe the general player base doesnt realise something is strong but good players will always be aware

[raven ginkgo]

general player base just uses whatever they want

theres tons of people that just play how they want and thats fine

[thick veldt]

Grapple melee is a good example of a meta option that generally goes unused. There's a good few bosses it works on, but it rarely ever sees use.

[tired oriole]

a few?

heh

[thick veldt]

Try it on Oryx.

[tired oriole]

easy

[naive crater]

titan feedback fence in the medival playlist is... 😠 no

[tired oriole]

i contra chunked oryx that was cool

[naive crater]

did they fix ada btw?

[cursive pelican]

genuinely is destiny 2 worth playing rn?

[tired oriole]

not for u

[naive crater]

meh

[molten condor]

Kf is worth playing

[tired oriole]

i love kf

[sour ermine]

it generally goes unused because it has an extremely high skill ceiling and requires actual good execution to do

unlike hold m1 with mint

[tired oriole]

is it that hard

[vocal marten]

Little fyi, "oppressive" can be used to describe anything that applies constraint to something, it doesn't have to be essentially the definition of racism as you characterized it.

[molten condor]

Extremely high skill ceiling might be stretching it

[cursive pelican]

idk what to do rn

[thick veldt]

What do you mean I need to keep track of like 3 buffs, a grapple tangle, and time my inputs correctly for maximum effect?

[molten condor]

Its more engaging than pressing m1 fs

[tired oriole]

sometimes i feel like i suck a little bit when i cant see the grapple due to my blacklight issue

[raven ginkgo]

I know this but it doesnt apply to a meta weapon in a video game

[sour ermine]

and fight aim assist if you're on controller

[molten condor]

It obviously can

[vocal marten]

If you knew this you wouldn't be arguing semantics with them and you'd accept the proper usage of the word. It does apply.

[tired oriole]

☹️

[molten condor]

Controller in 2026

[thick veldt]

Well was oppresive in its peak when Warlocks would get kicked from any activity if they were not running it. Oppressive things exist in games.

[raven ginkgo]

no it does not, because if we apply it here, it literally applies to every single other meta weapon in the game

[tired oriole]

ok

[molten condor]

A meta becomes oppressive when there is zero other options to use or when its been meta for a huge length of time

[tired oriole]

mint

contraverse hold

[molten condor]

U can have weak metas that r strong but other options r usable

[thick veldt]

Man, screw people who forced Warlocks into being Well slaves. Like I'm a Hunter main, but even I hated that crap.

[naive crater]

🙁 ada still borked

[tired oriole]

ye

[vocal marten]

All I can say is thanks for proving my point.

[tired oriole]

we will fix it in 4 months

[tired oriole]

that message confused me

[raven ginkgo]

Glad we had this talk, i would suggest a different outlook on a video game

[thick veldt]

Warlocks being forced into Div + Well breaks any argument that oppressive strategies don't exist in games.

[naive crater]

"ada-1 will be fixed for next arms week next year"

[molten condor]

Launch seer was oppressive in apex legends

[naive crater]

time to go back and play some more with my Mycelium Menace

[tired oriole]

i miss well being the best option cuz now idek how to use well without dying 6 times per encounter

[molten condor]

Launch brig was oppressive in overwatch

[vocal marten]

You should direct your animosity to the correct party, I'm just telling you that in this context "oppresive" was used correctly.

[thick veldt]

Horizon being in every team.

[molten condor]

Thats probably u

[tired oriole]

yes ik 😭

its the devour buff

[mint berry]

A buff you say

[thick veldt]

Well got a buff that didn't even buff the Warlock lol. Hunters being allowed to use GG in Well.

[tired oriole]

w buff

[raven ginkgo]

no animosity here

[thick veldt]

Bungie should give us watered-down versions of some of these Arms Week mods. Like this shotgun bow one should turn into one that makes them fire 4 pellets like Third Itteration, with each doing 30% of the bow's damage.

[tired oriole]

anyways praxic blade sucks and its only good cuz they give u infinite ammo

[naive crater]

:u i need 1200 silver but i dont wanna pay for silver lmao

[raven ginkgo]

much better take and many will agree lol

[tired oriole]

do not buy silver

my takes are always good unless i am tr

being stupid

[thick veldt]

Void Praxic Blade is easily the strongest version of it for general use rn, because of the Void perks in the artifact that synergize with it.

For more focused use, however, Titans moment.

[tired oriole]

bro strongholds is so bad

[raven ginkgo]

solar stronghold titan wtih praxic is bonkers

[thick veldt]

It is, it's just braindead and free.

[tired oriole]

maybe im not using it correctly

but i feel more useless with stronghold than any other exotic

[raven ginkgo]

you arent using iut correctly id say

[thick veldt]

Strand Strongholds is actually somewhat useful to your team, since you can get Banner up and provide support.

[raven ginkgo]

how do you play with it?

[molten condor]

Strongholds sucks and is for chuds

[tired oriole]

heal when im low

[thick veldt]

Banner of War fixes that issue.

[tired oriole]

i soloed 75% of a dungeon with strongholds and its wasnt fun at all

i fell off the map 😔

[raven ginkgo]

I see a lot of people just hold block the whole time and thats why people hate stronghold players, youre only supposed to block when needed and to apply resistance buff

[thick veldt]

I mean, you're functionally immortal in most circumstances with just holding block.

[tired oriole]

then i 1 phased with contraverse that was pretty cool

[raven ginkgo]

yes but youre not helping unless everyone else is dead that way

my light hits with my saber do almost 900 damage

[tired oriole]

now im 2 shotting bosses w contraverse on 60fps !

talking about how fps

[thick veldt]

Lots of people don't even use the heavy throw on the saber.

[tired oriole]

nah my chunks r superior

[vocal marten]

60 first person shooter

[thick veldt]

Not as in the throw itself, holding it removes the tracking, but doubles the damage of your throw.

[storm drift]

any update on ada?

[raven ginkgo]

yep, its all about how you play the build and tons of people just hold block, thus the hatred for stronghold players lol

[tired oriole]

no

[naive crater]

holding throw right?

[thick veldt]

Also, pretty sure the lightsaber without ammo does the lowest amount of damage in the game lol.

Appart from hitting for immune.

[storm drift]

can’t fix a wrong reference in 24 hours holy

[thick veldt]

Has to go through approval from every single platform.

[raven ginkgo]

ya theres a whole certification process

[thick veldt]

Playstation's always the slowest at that too.

[raven ginkgo]

thats on par for them tho, "we are playstation and you will wait for as long as we want"

[storm drift]

i just want a gizmo 😭

[tired oriole]

welcome to destiny 2 new light ?

[frosty maple]

BUNGIE IS LEGIT THE MOST STUPID AAA STUDIO IN THE WORLD RN

I can prove it

[tired oriole]

call of duty btw

[thick veldt]

Reward shop engrams are the same as the ones from ADA.

[frosty maple]

no i can prove it

Do you want proof?

@tired oriole say it

[tired oriole]

i dont need proof that billionaire game developers are regarded

[storm drift]

takes forever to get

[frosty maple]

cuz they are

[tired oriole]

and put of touch

and only care about money and not the people who's money they take

[frosty maple]

Alright so, they killed d2, killed the xbox playerbase by stingray error, are releasing marathon which is concord 2.0 for 40$

[tired oriole]

bc none if that matters now bc no matter what peppe will buy everything

[thick veldt]

They care about saving money more than making it, frankly.

[frosty maple]

Read

[raven ginkgo]

its an LA thing really, its the same with movie studios as well. They refuse to give their fans exactly what they want, it has to be their way

[frosty maple]

They dont even got money

[frosty maple]

They killed the xbox playerbase

[thick veldt]

Marathon is an exceptionally solid game from all that I've gotten to play of it.

[frosty maple]

40$

[tall rover]

I don't think you're seeing it.

[tired oriole]

they lost it all making the worst decisions possible while independent

[frosty maple]

Yeah

[frosty maple]

?

[thick veldt]

Bungie asked playesters in a survey about how much it should cost and we agreed on 40$ lol.

[viral oriole]

£39.99 here marathon

[frosty maple]

Game is like concord anyway, its js like high guard or smthing

[tired oriole]

40 dollars for a full game is great compared to 80 btw

[thick veldt]

We were legit talking directly with the devs and chatting about it in the hidden channels too.

[frosty maple]

Its 60

[tired oriole]

?

[tall rover]

Sony signed bungie on. Bungie has a contract with sony. Yes?

[frosty maple]

Concord was 60

[thick veldt]

It's an extraction shooter with abilities, not a hero shooter moba...?

[tired oriole]

idc about concord

[frosty maple]

same thing

[frosty maple]

it will not live up to its hype, they killed destiny 2 for ts

[thick veldt]

Marathon is nothing like Concord. For one, Bungie doesn't have Sony breathing down their necks about it.

[viral oriole]

i dont like extraction shooters i played division 1 + 2 darkzone/invasions where eh

[frosty maple]

they arent safe from sony

[tired oriole]

just a slight breeze

[frosty maple]

its literally spectre divide

[tall rover]

Sony lost about 200m. Sony will boot Bungie for not making the revenue yes?

[tired oriole]

no sony said they are working on maming bungie better

lock in

[thick veldt]

Me neither. But Marathon just feels different somehow. I guess the abilities give you something you always know you have, so you can learn them.

[tired oriole]

bungie has very great developers very horrible leadership

[thick veldt]

Renegades is solid. Problem is, lot of people just considered Final Shape to be the end of the game for them.

[brisk sage]

Lol they didn't even programme the right currency for this event

[tall rover]

Precisely. Bungie gets a lot of money from sony

[viral oriole]

just not fan on pve pvp gameplay theres some right cretins online games like that

[tired oriole]

everybody left d2

[viral oriole]

cant trust anyone everyone lies

[tired oriole]

destiny 2 skeleton crew

[frosty maple]

They deserve it

[tired oriole]

nooo not 200 mil

[thick veldt]

Lotta the people on Marathon weren't from D2 lol.

[tired oriole]

(20 bucks)

[frosty maple]

Whats the playerbase of d2 rn?

I cant even find crucible matches

[brisk sage]

I heard the QA team is just a squirrel that runs around on a controller pressing random buttons

[tired oriole]

popularity.report

[frosty maple]

Like 3 months ago

[tall rover]

Yes. They do. But its not a bad thing if sony boots them

[thick veldt]

Better than Activisions QA.

[tired oriole]

makes sens why they cant press the grenade button and realize its 1 shotting bosses

[viral oriole]

think runescape 3 has more players than d2 :L

[frosty maple]

They should

[tired oriole]

playercu t def above 100k this week

[thick veldt]

Could also be issues brought about by the fact that they can't test things on the live server, only a private instance.

[tall rover]

Yes. Because bungie does better as an independent company

[tired oriole]

what is the difference

genuine question

[thick veldt]

One holds the load of thousands and thousands of players. Another has code that probably won't ever see the live version of the game.

[tired oriole]

yeah that makes sense

[viral oriole]

sony need to sack all the staff who care more about policals agendas and hire developers who put 100% into the game and what players want

[thick veldt]

The code between the dev builds of any game and the live game is always different, which is why some things slip through.

[tired oriole]

most of the chunking bugs are connection based

[viral oriole]

till that happens destiny will be like this forever

[frosty maple]

I mean

Yep

But the game died at eof

[thick veldt]

Not to mention that tiered exotics do exist on the dev build, which might genuinely be its own can of worms causing problems. We know tiered exotics exist, Bungie just doesn't know how to impliment them.

[frosty maple]

Who even is playing rn, who can be this lifeless

Man maybe high guard is good, im installing it rn

[viral oriole]

zombies

[frosty maple]

Yeah

[tired oriole]

d2 is fun if u stop caring so much

[frosty maple]

nah

[tall rover]

Nothing wrong with that. Lol i am zombie.

[frosty maple]

Its not like before

Just like

[tired oriole]

nah its pretty muc the same

[thick veldt]

D2's fun even if you ddon't care. All of the problems with D2 aren't with the game itself lol.

[frosty maple]

Portal

[viral oriole]

i come back to d2 here and there, hoping the updates and content is good to do for abit, but the endless game breaking bugs is just my god

[tired oriole]

not as bad as ppl make it out to be

[thick veldt]

Portal is a great system now that they've ironed out the kinks.

[frosty maple]

Its not

[tired oriole]

especially NOW since it doenst take 450 hours to get to max

[frosty maple]

its bad

[tall rover]

Its good.

[thick veldt]

It does what they intended it to do, make getting into activities really easy with minimal friction.

[viral oriole]

i know the dev team has been fractured now most are working on marathon, sony need to hire new developers and build D3

[tired oriole]

i iwsh i could have leveled w this ststem instead of what i did

but instead i will never touch portal again

[tall rover]

Destiny 3 cannot be made until Bungie separates from sony

[thick veldt]

The Marathon team has maybe a 20% overlap. A lot of the Marathon team is new members.

[tired oriole]

they did fire the old members

[thick veldt]

"Let go".

[viral oriole]

Thats good

[tired oriole]

nah it was pretty bad

[viral oriole]

more creativity less agendas about the real world gamers want games

[frosty maple]

Also

[thick veldt]

At least Michael Salvatori was willing to come back and make the Renegades music.

[frosty maple]

I cannot play d2 for 2 months js cuz of the stingray error

[frosty maple]

Why cant they fix the stingray error

[viral oriole]

idk what stingray is i get cats eels chickens

[frosty maple]

Basically

[thick veldt]

I've never had one, so it's not an issue impacting everyone. Likely something they're working on in the background.

[viral oriole]

someone at bungie have a animal kink

[frosty maple]

Half of the xbox players are effected with an error

affected

[viral oriole]

must be engine developer thing

[frosty maple]

and we cannot play the game

[frosty maple]

Its only impacting some of the xbox players

And im one of them

[tall rover]

Im on Xbox and the only problem I've found is my router and modem are out of date and need to be updated

[thick veldt]

I mean, if you have problems with things not functioning. Look at WIndows 11. First it had an issue corrupting RAM, then corrupting graphics cards, then it had a problems stopping your PC from turning off, now it has a problem stopping your PC from turning ON.

[frosty maple]

wdym

how do u update them?

What

[viral oriole]

They need to shift to next generation consoles only and up the game into new graphical architecture

[frosty maple]

destiny 2

[frosty maple]

Maybe we nuke all cash grab games

[frigid hatch]

Health is literally the worst stat in PVE settings

[tall rover]

My isp issued updated modems and routers with updated firmware and I'm using an obsolete version

[thick veldt]

So, mostly Fornite, Apex, CoD, and Overwatch.

[frosty maple]

yall still do raids or anything

[frosty maple]

Yes

[trail rapids]

raids in the big 26

[tired oriole]

ur asking the wrong person if they still play the game

[frosty maple]

fortnite started this microtransaction era

[frosty maple]

no way? What do yall even do in d2 anymore

[thick veldt]

Now that I think about it, none of those games are Playstation owned, and two of those are owned by Activison and by extension Microsoft.

[trail rapids]

i get on do pvp then get off after 3 matches

[tired oriole]

sit in discord and cry

[frosty maple]

Cool

[tall rover]

I speak for myself when I say I have fun playing d2

[viral oriole]

RS3 did it with there TH MTX's they cut £1m+ from microtransactions for promote game health, bungie could do that

[frosty maple]

I only play pvp cuz peacekeepers and tarrabah

[frigid hatch]

yeah, do it without health too

[frosty maple]

But i cant

[frosty maple]

???

[tired oriole]

my health stat stays 30

[viral oriole]

bungie cant there too thick, sony could lol

[thick veldt]

I mean, none of Bungie's microtransactions benefit you playing directly. Closest is the pass giving you free candy.

DLC purchases are the part that holds content behind money.

[frigid hatch]

i have no obligation to explain myself, Health just sucks bro lmao

[viral oriole]

the season pass bumps and the events can cost

some nutters out there will pay for it

[tired oriole]

thats why theres the option to

[tall rover]

Right

[trail rapids]

health is only good for pvp thats about it

[frigid hatch]

health in pvp

[thick veldt]

Really, Hunters are the only ones who need Health in any amount, and 30 is plenty. Healing from orbs compensates for not having a Barricade or Rift equivilant, a universal survival tool.

[frigid hatch]

[viral oriole]

all weapons featured when plox

[tired oriole]

hunters have 1 build and its grapple

[tall rover]

In pvp most people don't live long enough anyway lol

[thick veldt]

Morbius Quiver is doing absurd damage.

[frigid hatch]

consider the following:

[tall rover]

Especially if you're being 3-4v1

[tired oriole]

no need

[viral oriole]

same build as mine that lol you must be a dedicated hunter rat

more rats the better,

[tall rover]

Im a titan and health is awesome

[frigid hatch]

i use gunpowder when i run Low Grenade so i have more grenades

Shaxx told me to throw more grenades

so he gets pipe bombs

[viral oriole]

they fixed it now actually does damage

[frigid hatch]

i know

[thick veldt]

We should get a Gunpowder Gamble exotic.

[frigid hatch]

and it has no cooldown, just get more charges

[viral oriole]

i do like the yellow rain it creates, cant say the other thing it might offend snowflakes here ol

[tired oriole]

?

[thick veldt]

Gunpowder Gamble does have a cooldown, but sometimes you can just ignore it. Unless Bungie removed it.

[carmine wasp]

Did they fix the telemetry bug yet?

[thick veldt]

I remember getting to throw like 4 back-to-back lol.

[viral oriole]

it comes back quick enough tbh

[tall rover]

Well they won't learn to not be if they're Always coddled sheesh

[tired oriole]

the only yellow rain i can think of is

[thick veldt]

I assume they have a fix waiting to deploy, but need to get it certified by every platform.

[tall rover]

Urine

[viral oriole]

i hear coddling leads to suffercation lol

[tired oriole]

grand canyon pissingcontest

[tall rover]

Or off a 5 story building

[carmine wasp]

Gun powder gamble is my go to on my Still Hunter build

[viral oriole]

it applies scorch now good stacking damage

[tall rover]

Works the same

[tired oriole]

if everyone urinated into the grand canyon it woulf fill up

[viral oriole]

the damn thing used to instant kill me before it got update :L

[carmine wasp]

Of course

[tired oriole]

snowflakes cant handle this information

[thick veldt]

Foetracer + Verity is very silly.

[frigid hatch]

just remember 183 people died to my crappy pvp glaive, so you too can become good at pvp

[carmine wasp]

Indeed

[viral oriole]

good glaive that

[tall rover]

Increments

[viral oriole]

shame they dont feature the damn thing

[thick veldt]

Witherhoard needs its duration nerfs reverted so I can bring it into PVP again.

[frigid hatch]

it's funny how quick people panic when i lunge at them

[tired oriole]

😼

[viral oriole]

kvostov need a cat

[carmine wasp]

I always chuckle when I see a glaive with a laser sight on it.

[tired oriole]

i got chicen tacquitotor

[thick veldt]

Bungie should change it so meleeing an Exo makes the metal sound instead.

[tired oriole]

fire resction

[tall rover]

Thats cool lol

[thick veldt]

I want to knife someone and randomly hear donk.

[tired oriole]

if i punch an exo it should hurt a bit

[viral oriole]

aint used that terrabah in donkeys

[tall rover]

If only I could be a developer for only an emote. Just 1 emote. It would be favored..

[thick veldt]

I mean, Hunters are the only class who punches normally. Titans are Titans, so they shrug it off and Warlocks don't actually punch because they're cowards. Hunters just occasionally use their fists instead of a knife, like on Arc.

[sour ermine]

1 grenade 😭

[tired oriole]

and stasis :3

[thick veldt]

Stasis Hunter is still bullying in PVP lol.

[tired oriole]

i love hunter stasis i need shatterdive to be good again

[frigid hatch]

yeh i dont care for Elemental Honing so no grenades for me

[tired oriole]

1 shot grenade 4 min cooldown

[thick veldt]

Tether is evil too, both supers are just, "Nah, stop that" buttons.

[tired oriole]

1 min in pve

[thick veldt]

This thing is so amusing to use.

[frigid hatch]

i like high melee stat in pvp for a strong reason

[tall rover]

I love punching with max melee stat and wormgods on my titan

[frigid hatch]

if you have 170 melee stat you can two-tap with glaive melees

[thick veldt]

Pris smoke bomb goes hard. Sure Comb blow exists in PVE, but smoke bomb goes hard in transcendence.

[tired oriole]

🙀

[tall rover]

Many people don't expect to be clocked for some odd reason..well i used to be a halo player its kind of built in

[thick veldt]

I mean, I too would be startled if there was suddenly a large sharp staff in my thoracic region.

[bright grotto]

You can change your region with the /region command. Must be performed in one of the text channels.

[thick veldt]

Thank you rankbot.

[tall rover]

Rank as in stink?..i wonder 🤔

No oh-fence

[thick veldt]

Also, I found out that the shatter arrows are in fact distance-based, not duration.

So no matter how much velocity you have, they always shoot out at the same distance from you.

[tall rover]

Stasis is actually awesome even on titan its just not as commonly used

I use it in pvp and it can be a nightmare for others

[thick veldt]

Oh yeah, and if you get the spacing right, with a bow that can pen, you can have the secondary arrows spawn inside a target after you've hit them, getting bonus damage.

[tall rover]

I spent a few good hours having fun using tungsten with mercury A's 1 shot ability with kinetic tremors 😁

Stasis build ftw

[thick veldt]

The draw speed on it is hilariously slow lol.

[tall rover]

I know but I got 30 kills by end of match lol

Spent most of the time crouched too lol

I was about to ask for toilet paper lol

[thick veldt]

Sneak bow? Or just crouched for crouching sake?

[tall rover]

Both

Speed is not in its favor. So i turtle walked the map lol

[thick veldt]

Oh wait, it doesn't have Sneak Bow. I forgot, nothing has had it.

[tall rover]

Well i used it well and it was sneaky peak style

[thick veldt]

These two are the most recent bows we've had that can get Sneak Bow.

[tall rover]

The other bow i liked was actually from GoS. And the xbow with autoload with chill clip was also a 1 shot

No need to draw anything just stow it

Or you can use aggregate

[thick veldt]

Still sad Oathkeepers have no synergy with crossbows.

[tired oriole]

stinkbot

[tall rover]

What I want to see is an auto xbow

[thick veldt]

I mean, Burried Bloodline.

[tired oriole]

dungeon exotic

[thick veldt]

Burried Bloodline is even considered a bow by HoN too.

[gilded laurel]

okay so ive been a little away this week, not really checked in at all, is Contraverse Hold still the strongest build for warlocks?

[tall rover]

Yes i have that but I mean auto auto like an AR

[tired oriole]

yea

[gilded laurel]

also does completing the Echoes exotic mission give you the exotic even if you dont have the quest for it

[thick veldt]

Then it's just a flechette rifle.

[tired oriole]

the exotic

[gilded laurel]

choir of one. if i finish the mission do I get the exotic without the quest

[tall rover]

But legendary and customizable

[thick veldt]

A weapon like that would only fit into exotic.

[gilded laurel]

for whatever reason I literally do not have Choir unlocked on my character I was just spite using Hard Light as my exotic for my void build and completely forgot to actually complete the exotic mission for that AR for when I eventually wanted to actually do things with the game

and play

and not suck

[thick veldt]

You can get Choir to drop from the mission, yess.

[gilded laurel]

so now I am going to go and complete that exotic and hopefully Choir drops

[tall rover]

Either way kinetic tremors with the shattershot mod on mercury is exotic equivalent in my book

[gilded laurel]

will it always drop or only a percentage

[north nexus]

always

[thick veldt]

Always on the first clear, yeah.

[north nexus]

iirc beating it repeatedly on higher difficulties also always drops the catys

[thick veldt]

Not sure how you get catalysts and stsuff tho.

[raven ginkgo]

run it normal and youll get it EASY

[gilded laurel]

I am totally checked out of this event. I hate bows as a concept in a scifi fps game and I have never used any of the bows and I never will, and neither this or any event will convince me to use bows in a FIRST PERSON SHOOTER

WITH GUNS

[raven ginkgo]

you can get weapon and first catalyst and intrinsics from normal, all of the rest need to be on gradnmaster, takes 3 or 4 runs

[gilded laurel]

I just need the gun thanks for the info brother

same to @thick veldt thank you as well brother

[tall rover]

Only takes 1 full draw and it hits like 6 times. Try that combo with someone running divinity thats 2500-3500 per arrow

[raven ginkgo]

no problem, its a fun mission

[gilded laurel]

I'm gonna go complete it right now it'll be trivial

[thick veldt]

Bows have had a long-standing place, even in modern military there's a place for them.

[gilded laurel]

but yeah idk what dope fiend at Bungie thought bows were a good addition and i've spitefully refused to even equip one since they were announced

[north nexus]

least whimsical d2 player known to mankind

[tall rover]

To each their own. You do you bro.

[gilded laurel]

bows IRL are fine but why are they in my scifi fps game

[raven ginkgo]

lol man, bungie literally gave us EVERY option for weapons and people still complain

[north nexus]

best weapons from OG halo has always been the goofy stuff like the fuel rod cannon or the needler

[gilded laurel]

yeah i'm not harshing on yall for enjoying the bows if you like them by all means use them

[thick veldt]

You mean the one that also has swords?

[gilded laurel]

Those all felt like guns though. bows in destiny feel like bows and I hate them

[tall rover]

Right on 🤙

[gilded laurel]

I grew up with the Energy Sword so blades get a pass

same with the lightsaber

[frigid hatch]

easier to make bigger projectiles for a bow than a gun

[gilded laurel]

sorry not sorry it just works like that

[frigid hatch]

especially "salted" projectiles

[thick veldt]

They aren't energy swords, they're literally just hunks of metal that use ammo for some reason.

[gilded laurel]

If they make a bow that looks nothing like a bow and fires nothing like arrows, and is entirely some kind of like scifi bow that is just a gun, i'll use that bow.

[tall rover]

Because 300 years from now humans will still use bows. Just awesome versions

[frigid hatch]

the swords in destiny have super-heated blades

[gilded laurel]

Nah. directed energy weapons that make you vomit and die is the future apparently

[frigid hatch]

i mean we got chewbaccas crossbow

[gilded laurel]

Yeah but most of the swords I use in the game are energy swords. so they still get a pass

[raven ginkgo]

not the future, 50+ years old and its done with sound waves

[thick veldt]

Fun fact: Railguns are actually bows when you think about it. You load in a projectile that can't fly on its own, charge it with potential energy, then release it with the intention of cleanly piercing the target.

[gilded laurel]

and also I'm fine with swords in general because LOTR and GOT are goated franchises

its just bows that i have an issue with because they are worse guns

[thick veldt]

The humble Legolas.

[gilded laurel]

That's what I was hinting at, whatever we used to grab that clown

[gilded laurel]

Legolas is fine but he was strong without his bow as well.

[unborn ledge]

whats a deaths majesty set

[tall rover]

The pretty legolas you mean

[gilded laurel]

idk

[gilded laurel]

Legolas was very attractive so I was never really looking at his bow I was always watching his eyes when he was on screen

[tall rover]

Dude is far from humble

[raven ginkgo]

ya directed energy weapons are hilarious though because everyone thought they were fake because "nothing I cant comprehend can be real".

[gilded laurel]

I have that problem when people's eyes are very pretty I can't help myself but look at them

it's why I love my girlfriend

[unborn ledge]

ok

[gilded laurel]

sorry that was a bit odd of a divergence from the convo

[gilded laurel]

well idk what is going on now but apparently that's what we used to grab the guy

[raven ginkgo]

its fine, plenty of men want to marry orlando bloom lol

[gilded laurel]

directed energy or sound or something

[tall rover]

I couldn't take legolas seriously in the movie

[gilded laurel]

same problem in this game with Drifter I can never take him seriously

[thick veldt]

Oh yeah, and we had bows before they were added as weapons. Shadowshot moment.

[gilded laurel]

I laugh too much when Drifter is around

[gilded laurel]

he's my favorite character but the character is too witty so the jokes land and it takes me out of the game, Ghimli was the same as well

[thick veldt]

I miss when Shadowshot made holes in bubbles.

[tall rover]

Drifter reminds me of so many people i think his oddness is a great addition

[gilded laurel]

He's goated

Drifter is for sure the MC besides us rn

probably our closest friend

[tall rover]

Total badass the drifter is

[frigid hatch]

good roll, me likey

[gilded laurel]

Drifter smoked Egregore

what a G

snoop dogging it up in the derelict while we're busting it down on the Witness

[tall rover]

And he eats hive

Gotta love him

[thick veldt]

Drifter's the guy who takes nothing but himself seriously in all but a few rare situations.

[tall rover]

Anyway everyone have a good rest of your day/evening! Take care

[thick veldt]

I refuse.

[alpine garnet]

hi bigcd34 hi

[zealous wyvern]

I got Heirloom on my second try, wasn't even going for that but thanks game

[alpine garnet]

hi suus hi

[thick veldt]

Okay, so infinite draw time one-shot bow is just silly.

[gilded laurel]

Choir is better than Graviton Lance right?

[frigid hatch]

range

[hoary plover]

Not even in the same league, far better

[gilded laurel]

good to know, that was what I was using

[thick veldt]

Choir is a special weapon, so it obviously outperforms graviton.

[alpine garnet]

good thing tlord is superior to them both

[hoary plover]

Graviton is excellent for red bar ad clear but really struggles with yellow bars. Choir does both and has an economy pretty much like primary weapons

[frigid hatch]

is telemetry fixed yet i gotta SPEND bruh

[harsh kiln]

not afaik

[frosty maple]

Should i switch to pc?

Gaming pc

[viral oriole]

yeah just need to sell a few kidneys now

[atomic fiber]

are old dungeon exotics farmable yet or no?

[harsh kiln]

Honestly not now if you're new to building PCs from scratch, the RAM prices have yet to stabilize, but in the future, it's upto you, Pc gaming is cheaper in the long run.

[frosty maple]

oh yeah

I forgot about the parts mansnejisoaowlslzl

[viral oriole]

ram will cost £400+ :L

[harsh kiln]

unlike the silicone shortage from before, this new RAM shortage is far more volatile and unpredictable, so I genuinely can't help you on that front

[frosty maple]

AI

[viral oriole]

im glad i bought 128gb 3600mhz kit for £175 :L

[frosty maple]

So pc dies?

PC lost in the gaming race war

???

[viral oriole]

the fools telling me you dont need that much, but £175!!

[frosty maple]

Ram

[viral oriole]

i has laptop with 64gb in im fine for now if pc dies

[frosty maple]

I got a dead laptop

[alpine garnet]

ram fomo s crazy 😭

[frosty maple]

Im gonna sell its ram for 20 dollars

[harsh kiln]

thankfully the AI companies are feeling the heat and companies are suffering from the RAM shortages too, this will either stabilize by people/companies counteracting AI companies or... the market crashes

[frosty maple]

How is there a ram shortage

[viral oriole]

the laptop ram will be like £70+ min

ha you seen 5090's there £2,799+ now

[harsh kiln]

AI companies buy RAM from manufacturers at insane prices, offers that companies nearly never refuse, so that they can be used in their LLM processes

[viral oriole]

AI slop

[harsh kiln]

as in, they buy RAM that hasn't even been made yet, making it insanely difficult for consumers to get their hands on it, or even other branches of the same company ( samsung recently denied SAMSUNG RAM that they needed to make new phones )

[viral oriole]

saying that AI is smarter than most humans now, dont marathon has ai bots in it now

[harsh kiln]

AI as we knew it back then and AI now is different, AI has always existed in some form as enemy pathing or aiming / tactics in games

the AI we know now are large language models that rely on massive servers and the cloud to run

that is the problem unfortunately, those servers use up so much water and electricity ( oh.. and RAM ) that it is impacting the market in a way very few foresaw

[hoary plover]

Yeah, all AI is just models now. AGI (artificial general intelligence) is what the goal is which should have higher cognitive ability than humans. AI in its current form has existed for decades, has just expanded capabilities recently due to infrastructure advancements

[alpine garnet]

isn’t the real agi mathematically impossible atm

[frigid hatch]

we ain't got the resources for it, yes

AI in general is better suited for keeping your house warm atm

[viral oriole]

even rankbot is been suppassed by AI

nvm, TL;DR, unless openAI gets a massive injection of funds through fundraising, they may go bankrupt by december 2027

no idea, I genuinely don't know what the future holds

[frigid hatch]

tbf it's permanently submerged in 2 layers of mucus and another layer of water

[viral oriole]

You even see gaming companies pull away from those social media platforms causes issues like the special creatures on this server who doxed bungies community manager

yea we know who

[harsh kiln]

that's mostly to protect it from damage from inertia or concussions + more surface area for the blood brain barrier

[hoary plover]

2 issues - infrastructure/resources (this should be fixed in a few years) and cognition. As ridiculous as it sounds, nobody knows how to train machines to do the easiest things humans can do passively. This is the true bottleneck in achieving AGI

[viral oriole]

AI is ruined social media platforms and made creatures more daft

[harsh kiln]

I genuinely didn't know of this, all I know is that Into The Light livestream that was.... needlessly cruel

[knotty wyvern]

We are still waiting on a new breakthrough in CPU technology.

[viral oriole]

yea theres names in this discord linked to the allergations

[alpine garnet]

yes but it's still 3 layers of water basically

[alpine garnet]

half a pizza for 1 $btc soon

[viral oriole]

there was legal documents of the users names and accounts who did it

[hoary plover]

I really wish social media platforms had a simple filter to ward off all the AI slop. From cringy videos to bots posting and amplifying whatever they're being paid to peddle, social media has become a cesspool

[frigid hatch]

man i hate you now i want pizza

[viral oriole]

i want food

any news on the patch yet

[harsh kiln]

No I understand but Ai servers need water for just one thing ( cooling ), I just hope this doesn't affect the local trout population

screw vegans, i'll eat them too

american

weirdly Tuna Steaks are cheap though...

[viral oriole]

i dont like tuna steaks they just dry

destiny used to have fishing in it that was awefull

[frigid hatch]

i learned the customer is NOT always right when i went to a japanese steakhouse once

ordered Tuna Steak as one of my two meats for my food

[alpine garnet]

now you mentioned it i recalled AWS catching NK hacker by detecting high latency when pressing keystrokes on remote desktop

[frigid hatch]

guy asks me "how you want it cooked?" i said "???? well done, it's fish"

asian man powerfully says "Nah brother I got you just watch."

[viral oriole]

customers are never right most of them are ''oh im a chef'' yea lier rat, all customers are mongs

[viral oriole]

next week someone said yesterday

[wheat vessel]

hOW IS destiny these days? been a few months since I played, i think maybe 6

If anyone is still playing as much as they did since then

[frigid hatch]

pvp is utterly dead with aimbots but otherwise game's fine, nothing particularly damning about it

[viral oriole]

there was a savage creature yesterday that couldnt control it self because it couldnt get a answer it wanted, i think it might have been eaten by a orge now

[warped wren]

sounds good

[gilded laurel]

all my progress eviscerated in seconds

[frigid hatch]

Cabal technically have the best ability overall

[gilded laurel]

replaying Encore reminds me why I hated it the first time, just boring

[frigid hatch]

the Walker, but against Fallen it gets screwed

cuz Pikers use Strand tech so they can shut down Walkers

Pikers bike doesnt have that weakness but its HP is your HP so if it dies you go with it

and it does less damage

Reformation (the vex) overall have the worst stuff

worst gun up for grabs, and their abilities are really mid

their shader is a cream-white background with a big yellow smiley face painted onto it

[echo parrot]

Any of you know fallout lore, I got a question

[gilded laurel]

i like All or Nothing it's a good strand primary

[gilded laurel]

ask away

[echo parrot]

Why Canada bad in universe

I know enough of the basics but there's still a lot of gaps in my knowledge

[frigid hatch]

problem is it requires way too much to become decent

[echo parrot]

I just assumed it was "prolly for pvp"

[plain sail]

just done my Dung The Dark Age Hunt got to say to was really fun just blocked all the damg and shooting back at the boss's 🤣

[frigid hatch]

i feel like it'd be really good in pvp yeah, havent touched crucible since renegades came out tho

excluding Arms Week since pvp's the most efficient farm for it lmao

gives me a good excuse to farm out armor anyway, might swap my Super out for Grenade

i like to bully with Stasis hunter so i need decent grenade stat

[echo parrot]

I just always prefer HC and shotguns in pvp (aside from current event where I'm running bow)

[frigid hatch]

im basically only ever using ace or khovostov in pvp nowadays

[alpine garnet]

tariffs

[echo parrot]

Fallout universe

[frigid hatch]

Canada getting 100% tarrifed for working with China

[echo parrot]

The worst part is that I don't know if this is continuing irl bit or actual fallout stuff

[frigid hatch]

LMFAO

[echo parrot]

Like, one of the few things I know about FO lore is "China was the big bad instead of USSR"

[frigid hatch]

Canada getting a 100% tariff is IRL, there was an orange man tweat about it threatening them cuz they weren't being honest about their dealings and we knew it

lil bit of both, China and USA both were the big bads in Fallout

[echo parrot]

Yeah, that sounds about right

[raven ginkgo]

Canada was annexed by the US in fallout lore and a lot of people did not like it, they began rioting and sabotaging the pipeline the US had there.

[frigid hatch]

cuz the Shelters was a government program to test human populations in different situations

[raven ginkgo]

canada isnt "bad" in the fallout universe and them showing that ladys ID just shows she is a spy

she was never meant to be in the vaults if you watch the newest episode

[storm drift]

poop ga e

[echo parrot]

Yeah, just finished watching it and I was curious about why the crowds reaction was like that, seemed more than just "lol Canada are America's nerd sibling" type of treatment it currently gets

[storm drift]

still didnt fix it

[echo parrot]

||I was gonna ask one of my friends "so Thad isn't a ghoul, right?" When they showed the mouth and then That Happened so that answered my question, lul||

[mint berry]

[raven ginkgo]

Ya the tariff thing is incredibly effective because the majority of people dont understand that Canada is being completely subsidized by the US. If we pulled our funding from them, their entire country would collapse inside of 2 weeks, this is why tariffs are an effective tool

[frigid hatch]

they quacked REALLY fast after the threat was made lmao

[cursive pelican]

[cursive pelican]

bro are we serious 😭

also didnt drifter got han solo'd

this chat is dead

[light arrow]

tragic

[zealous wyvern]

gonna tweak if I make another FTF with "Mic Required" toggled on just to get no mic players

I specifically want someone to guide me through The Way Between and I just end up with the worst guide in the universe

[raven ginkgo]

ya if you dont wana believe it, you should look at what their finance minister or whatever title she held said before resigning last year. They are talking tough on TV but they know better, thats why they always backpedal.

[zealous wyvern]

no mic, no damage, no guidance. Just rushing with an eager edge sword and not explaining anything and ignoring everything I say

[raven ginkgo]

THIS, so annoying, the last few years we have seen a MASSIVE influx of people refusing to communicate in a game the solely relies on it

Youre in a raid, you need a mic, emoting and text chat isnt enough. It makes the raid MUCH harder for most people. Can raids be done without mics? sure, if youre in a group that is VERY good and rarely makes mistakes but thats not the case for FTF

[zealous wyvern]

not even a raid, a stupid dungeon. I'm trying to move forward with my quest The Way Between so I could enhance my Praxic Blade

[vestal tendon]

If you give me a little time, I can bring you through after I'm done bringing this slow mf through fire and ice

[zealous wyvern]

not only does nobody have a mic, nobody listens. That "guide" even rushed ahead into the ship early so I couldn't do the first taken ball puzzle

[raven ginkgo]

yep that as well. I was helping some buddies do crotas end last night and it took forever because of people without mics

[zealous wyvern]

would be nice

yeah the dude rushed ahead, one guy left so we two-manned almost the whole dungeon. Sere was terrible and we kept failing the damage check. Wondered why

found out when we wiped, he was literally doing less than 1/2 of the damage I was

[vestal tendon]

Like i said just need a bit of time, helping a neighbor with the fire and ice mission and its like i'm playing with a parapalegic rn man

we've been on the jumping puzzle for 40 minutes

[raven ginkgo]

thats painful to even hear lol

[vestal tendon]

Its miserable man

[zealous wyvern]

isn't the entire mission one big jumping puzzle?

[vestal tendon]

Pretty much

[frigid hatch]

yes

[zealous wyvern]

level designer thought they were the funniest person in the universe from how many traps were spammed in that one mission

[frigid hatch]

i can think of worse

[zealous wyvern]

if you can Bungie might hire you

[raven ginkgo]

Ive always said that Bungie wanted to make a mario game but feared getting sued by nintendo, so they built an MMO around a mario game. Destiny is actually a platformer, not an MMO RPG

[frigid hatch]

i cast Outbreak Perfected mission on you

[raven ginkgo]

legendary version

[frigid hatch]

and you're doing a catalyst

[raven ginkgo]

yep, did this the other week and it was super lame lol

[zealous wyvern]

I thought that was a Miyazaki thing? Despite his games having atrocious physics he really loves precise platforming sections

[frigid hatch]

i had to solo it i dont wanna hear it

[raven ginkgo]

That was your choice LOL

[frigid hatch]

Technically yes, I kept trynna get extra hands for it

alas....

[raven ginkgo]

I found some help in here, was a breeze with them

[zealous wyvern]

I just did it with randoms until I got lucky

[worthy kestrel]

[modest valve]

[echo parrot]

[vestal tendon]

@zealous wyvern I'm in ftc3 if you still needed help

[zealous wyvern]

gotcha

[iron sinew]

🥱

[modest valve]

[jovial haven]

this exotic was good for like one week when that bug was out

[modest valve]

[versed prawn]

[echo parrot]

Do Ada's challenges

[versed prawn]

[tropic jetty]

Where is the channel that shows you how to register with the destiny bot? I don’t see it only destiny-status

I’d would like to see it. I know I’m already verified

[cursive pelican]

does anybody wanna run trials with me this weekend?

[versed prawn]

#🌟server-access maybe?

[native valve]

I used to use foetracer in PvP for a longgg time. The walls hacks were amazing for duels, then it got put on knucklehead, became broken, and got nerfed lol

[cursive pelican]

Aren’t you that one cheater?

[native valve]

LOL

[cursive pelican]

genuinely 😭

this chat is dead

[tropic jetty]

lol yes!!! Thank you 🙏 I’m blind haha

[cursive pelican]

I remember back when this server was popping off

[viral oriole]

probably would if we had destiny 3 and the game evolved :L

[cursive pelican]

ye

its dead like completely dead dead

[sweet lark]

Would they create a new lfg server for d3 or just rename this to d3 lfg

[viral oriole]

this probs be the same just updated, cant be bothered finding another lfg for it lol

[sweet lark]

Rip Destiny 2 lfg then

[tropic jetty]

Wait no that’s the rank bot not the charle one

I’m trying to find the link to that registration area

[native valve]

I mean I’m actually enjoying d2 rn

I’m tryna play more epic DP

[mint berry]

Let me borrow a few nephew

[worn scroll]

Is it still possible to get the solar pellet hand cannon from the call to arms this week

[echo parrot]

Anyone find it funny how there's Paul Thomas Anderson, Paul W.S. Anderson, and Wes Anderson and they're all drastically different filmmakers

[mint berry]

No

[worn scroll]

Tragic

[cursive pelican]

Its been awhile since i’ve played destiny 2

@alpine garnet wanna run some raids?

Chat is the strike is still going on??

[viral oriole]

im waiting on patch for the arms ting, till then im chopping trees in runescape was at incan place but its full of vultures

[civic kettle]

[viral oriole]

[lapis grail]

27k goddamn

[mint berry]

I spent that much on apex what's another 20

[dusky wigeon]

😟

[mint berry]

I've already been to one super bowl what's another

[echo parrot]

Seeing the letters reminds me, XLV is... 45, right? Playing a game where gear is usually tiers 20-25 and then I saw one with XLV

[lapis grail]

Super Bowl LX

Yes 45 is XLV

So that one was in 2011.

[mint berry]

I was at the super bowl in 2018 Patriots versus eagles

[echo parrot]

Nah, my question was unrelated to super bowl, just seeing the Roman numerals reminded me of a different question I had

[mint berry]

Yeah and just keep going

[lapis grail]

I see…

[cursive pelican]

who watches the superbowl?! 😭

knowing damn well

[mint berry]

I don't like sports I like gambling on the sports

[lapis grail]

Dang expedition Europa was the only activity that didn’t have grounded yesterday.

[mint berry]

I had a thousand on the Rams last year for the super bowl

[lunar summit]

is anyone on the game who has the 30th anniversary set on warlock able to help me with something

[little mortar]

Possibly

[lunar summit]

bro either yes or no, its impossible to find anyone playing this game

[frigid hatch]

[gusty lichen]

[cursive pelican]

In renagades or i guess “star wars” expansion?

[gusty lichen]

[cursive pelican]

WAIT WHATS THAT ONE GUY NAME AGAIN?!

Who voices zavala

[cursive pelican]

uhm the current expansion

Or how many campaign missions?

[echo parrot]

Lance Reddick

They better fix Ada soon cause I wanna get enough copies of Tripwire Canary

[next sluice]

anyone know how we can get the marathon armor sets?

[tired oriole]

it tells u if u read the banner u onlt see 1 time

i think its the special delivery kiosk cuz i also didnt read it

[echo parrot]

Lemark, should I use Closing Time, MoA, or Discord on a pvp shotgun

[cursive pelican]

why does banshee voice sounds so different wtf happened to the old VA?

Why does banshee voice sounds so different please tell me 😭

[twin bloom]

He got replaced when Ash and Iron dropped so they could add more dialogue in solo ops

That’s the only thing we really have rn

[cursive pelican]

Bro… wtf happened?!

[twin bloom]

He legit only appears with new dialogue in only solo ops

[cursive pelican]

[twin bloom]

The supposed reason is because of scheduling conflicts with the original VA

[tired oriole]

closing time

[echo parrot]

I figured but wanted to ask

[tired oriole]

how is it even possiboe that i open chat and thats the first message i see

[echo parrot]

Ig it don't matter too much in Medieval Hardware

Also, the Jumpshot mod for bows is... Wonky

If you're moving at all while jumping and drawing a bow, it's like a dash in the direction

[cursive pelican]

i havent played it in months

Ngl i liked the old banshee VA better than the newer one

The newer one feels like has no soul to it

You guys weren’t lying on the drifter being han solo’d

[echo parrot]

Was actually so hyped about bow pvp that I forgot it's 2:30pm on a Wednesday, been sitting at 10/12 guardians for a minute

[ocean wraith]

Any way to get IKELOS weapons currently?

[alpine garnet]

I don’t have D2 installed

[cursive pelican]

okie

[alpine garnet]

hi corona hi

[cursive pelican]

What the f*ck did i just witnessed…

[cursive pelican]

hello

[echo parrot]

Operation Seraph Shield when it's in exotic rotator

[alpine garnet]

yall think d2 gon make an epic comeback, with 15 million players playing every day?

[cursive pelican]

wtf am i witnessing in this D2 😭

Atp i feel like i installed the temu destiny 2

[echo parrot]

I think it's gonna go into dormancy until one day, people will start going "wait, it's actually good again?" And then others will keep talking about it never being as good as TTK

[ocean wraith]

Ahh so they are still doing rotations with it. Has it come back recently at all?

[echo parrot]

No clue, it's currently Vox

So you're gonna love this. If you toss on Jumpshot and proc it, it's 1tap to the dome

[quartz valve]

has bungie acknowledged the fact we cant spend the event tokens?

[echo parrot]

"Working on it"-d2 team at 5:16pm last night (I'm central time)

[mint berry]

Yeah absolutely you know I would just have to stop gambling on apex

[viral oriole]

think all old voice actors have died off

again we need new destiny lol

All the ''old'' destiny players moan too much now :L

[chrome lava]

I just came back after a multi-year hiatus.

And I gotta say I enjoy what's here but I'm glad I took a break

[echo parrot]

Drawing the bow while midair gives you a movement boost and my bow goes from 101 body shot to 162, to give you a frame of reference

[cobalt vigil]

If the vex incursion zone is not spawning is that normal?

[echo parrot]

It's random starts unless the VIZ and Terminal Overload overlap, iirc

[little mortar]

I wonder if they’re ever gonna actually fix the telemetry turn in thing….

[echo parrot]

They have to, considering it's only a week long event

[heady salmon]

Is it just me or is battle eye bugged?? i keep getting weasled because of "suspicious activities" for literally no reason ;-;

[silent terrace]

yo is d2 rank any good?

[trail rapids]

hell naw

[heady salmon]

if you wanna search 15 minutes for a match, yeah go for it

[trail rapids]

it’s ok

i’d only really play it if you enjoy suffering and terrible teammates almost every game

[humble night]

Yo I just got back into destiny after not playing for like 4 years, where should I start?

[silent terrace]

Faxs

[violet valley]

renegades dlc probably

[chrome lava]

Any of y'all ever solo grasp of avarice?

[violet valley]

yes, easy. why

[silent terrace]

go raid Aincrad

[heady salmon]

desktop

[chrome lava]

Cannot get past the ogre. HOw'd you do it?

[violet valley]

dm me

[clear wigeon]

i think you might not be made for this game

[silent terrace]

i just unistalled valorant apex and fortnite

[chrome lava]

LUL

[heady salmon]

fax

[chrome lava]

Used to be good. Stopped before Beyond LIght.

Got back into it yesterday.

[clear wigeon]

heres a tip, solo vespers host is the easiest dungeon in the game

[plain sail]

Yo bungie went Hard on the new guardian games emblem this year I want it

[heady salmon]

agree, he will have a good time

[clear wigeon]

bungie and "went hard" in the same sentence

⛓️‍💥

[silent terrace]

sybau

[chrome lava]

I can hear the sarcasm but I will likely also try it for the helluvit.

[plain sail]

Yeah i know but after seeing it

[clear wigeon]

[pine fox]

really hope once marathon is out we stop getting pvp events in destiny

[clear wigeon]

they need to js end d2 service dude

they made it clear that they dont gaf already

[knotty wyvern]

They gonna put full screen ads midway through trials matches saying "tried Marathon yet ?"

[trail rapids]

what class are u using

[pine fox]

lmao big billboards in every crucible map would be funny

i miss the 4 seasons a year model when there actually was stuff worth doing

[pine fox]

now its just 1 week campaign, nothing 1 month, 1 week garbage pvp event, repeat last 2 for half a year

[alpine garnet]

is the roadmap out yet?

[trail rapids]

too bad people complained about it

[pine fox]

i havnet seen anything, i imagine stuff will get delayed with marathon

people always complain but i was happy with it

[knotty wyvern]

They will turn attention back to Destiny once Marathon flops

[pine fox]

even if it was just doing the seasonal activity hearing some dialogue and collecting something it was something to do every week

at least we actually had dialogue to hear
