Trying to decide if I want to spend another $60 and get Forsaken + Shadowkeep for PC too.

Probably put it off until I see how Shadowkeep is but with cross-save now it's very tempting.

Each faction gets a new gun added to the pool and a Curated version is the reward for doing something of much easier scope than past seasons.

You don't need to spend 60 more for that I thought? Just buy the expac, the seasons are cross platform

Can you really call it a “dive” if 4.5% drops to 2.3%?

idk, like most deec players I got all the pinnacles already so that mode is for the birds

EDIT wait I forgot it's 3's survival now. That could be fun, I never got to try that in D1. I've heard even a mediocre player can go far with strong teammates!

Any Crucible, Gambit, or Vanguard completed bounties need to be turned in before maintenance begins on 9/30 as these changes will reset them; other bounties—Gunsmith, clan, Eververse, etc.—can still be claimed after Oct 1
Prepare for incoming screeches from would-be world's firsters who hoarded bounties to cash in after the update.

REDUCED THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE FOLLOWING PERKS IN PVE:
Rampage, Kill Clip, Swashbuckler, Multikill Clip, Desperado, Surrounded, Master of Arms, Onslaught
In general, these perks use the same damage multipliers for PvE that they did in PvP
The change to Rampage does not affect the Huckleberry
Onslaught and Desperado now change bullet impact values while active in PvE
Surrounded no longer multiplies precision damage on top of base damage, as it was benefiting some weapon types more than others as a result
This seems big. I guess this is the Recluse nerf but for PvE only. Not sure why Breakneck needed a nerf, though.

So are they removing the perks from the weapons that already have them or just not putting them on weapons going forward? I was going to try to push that last bit for the recluse and breakneck this weekend but won’t waste my time if they’re removing the reasons to get the guns.

they're just nerfing the damage done, not removing the perks

probably anticipatory. if other rampage/kill clip type stuff gets hit but breakneck doesn't, then it becomes the standout, so they gotta bring them all in line together.

Breakneck is already getting hit by the rampage nerf, hitting the RoF as well is just gratuitous.

the perks are less useful in pvp because you don't have as constant a stream of enemies that you can easily kill, but if you do have have them active and someone shows up, it's still VERY noticable damage difference

like in pve you can chain kills on dregs or thrall forever but in pvp you're almost never going to hit rampage x 3 and keep it for more than a moment


but numberwise they were just pretty dang strong in pve. I doubt they'll be useless, but now non-damage perks will actually be contenders. like they said, crowd control in d1 maxed out at 15% bonus damage, rampage in d2 currently maxes out at 67% in pve. there's a lot of room for them to adjust downwards without being useless.

No joke, there doesn't seem to be any reason to check out their new 3v3 Survival mode unless you just wanna do it.

I'm curious just how much easier the "Ritual" guns are going to be compared to Pinnacles. IMHO sometimes the mini-pinnacle each season was actually more work than the real one (40 Strikes for Service Revolver barfffff)

They nerfed crits on minor enemies only where you usually did so much damage you would’ve one-shotted them 4 times over. Majors and bosses were a straight buff.

Edit: and I know for a fact that this won’t be an issue because people are playing Shadowkeep right now and two-tapping higher LL enemies with scout rifles. It’s still insanely fast, you just won’t be able to one phase every raid boss in the game.

The weekly update stated it would be close to pvp levels, which we do know the numbers for.

I don't know how we could have hard numbers yet as bungie has never given out hard numbers, it's always something players have to test on their own.

Well that doesn't sound so bad.

I guess I'm mostly upset now for sharding all the pulse rifles I had with Headseeker. That seems like it's going to be a viable perk again.

Or maybe just grind The Corrupted NF until I get that one PR back.
