Listerine posted:Is it even possible with the time left to get 4th Horseman? I logged in for the first time in like 2 months last night, but apparently you need to do some legendary thing at 1000 light level to finish the quest and my highest guy is at 960, I haven't unlocked any bunker stuff, and none of my pals are playing so I won't have any help in doing it. I'm in the same boat. Avoided this season and came back just to get 4th Horseman and Felwinters. Thought it wouldn't be a big deal but Seraph events are utterly terrible and increasing light level seems a lot slower than it used to be? Feels poo poo all round and of course it turns out that Lars Bakken was the design lead for this season. Y'know, the same guy who made Crucible 4v4 at launch and removed Trials despite the Crucible team all advising him the changes he wanted were not good.

I’m actually kind of digging this season? But I think that’s more to do with not playing it since a few weeks after Shadowkeep launched. Like others have said I’ve always found the key to enjoying destiny is knowing when to leave destiny alone until you wanna shoot them aliens in the head again, cause shooting the aliens in this game has always been dope.

I haven't played Destiny 2 in about 3 months and it's still one of my favorite games of all time. I have over 1,500 hours in it, and i still think about it all the time, but nothing about the state of the game seems like its fun or worth my time. My brother is finishing up a brand new PC and wants to play Destiny with me, so well be running the campaigns co-op and maybe dip our toes in some PVP. One day Bungie might announce a sweet new raid and some new story content, and before you know it ill be back to grinding my weekly powerfuls on all 3 toons. It's ok to take breaks. No one will be upset =)

Yeah I just can't be bothered with the few weeks remaining. Maybe 4th Horseman and Felwinter's won't become meta, but generally speaking as a player it makes me less likely to return if I can't acquire the gear other people are using.

I'm still gonna try and get the gear because part of me is hoping the playerbase starts tanking enough that Bungie removes the sunsetting gear poo poo and gets some design leads who actually know something about game development.

All you need to do for Felwinter's is the shotgun kills, right? Should take .5-1 hours.

I've been dealing with a lot more straight up flying assholes in the Crucible lately. I don't know if it's just me or if something changed. It's irritating, because Bungie doesn't let you have different zoom movement settings compared to non-zoom. Looking way up during a firefight takes a minute.

Even if you're on a game break it's worth just signing on and grinding it out if you like pvp, it's basically an EZ god roll mindbenders that will be good for Trials and IB through half of Y4.

Yeah I'm not so worried about that (don't know if it expects all the bunkers unlocked/upgraded or not) but I'm mainly fretting about Fourth Horseman since my light level is going up so slow and I think it needs completion of one of those tough Lost Sectors? Tried one solo and it was hopeless so I'm gonna try and figure something out there because I loved that gun in D1 and don't wanna miss out on it. I missed Heir Apparent (or whatever the new machine gun is) because I missed Guardian Games but Bungie already confirmed it's coming back in the future like Arbalest did, but I don't know what the deal is with Fourth Horseman so got FOMO for that.

I run those rough lost sectors daily solo. I'm at 1005 light before the 21 point artifact bump. A few tips - Keep a SMG with anti-barrier in your top slot. Keep a sword with Overload handy. When it comes time to deal with barrier champs, wail on them with a sword until they pop their shield. SMG it, then finish with the sword. Summon as many super mechs as you can. They help in the few spots I get stuck. Javelins are useless unless you need to kill a bunch of trash skanks.

Insane Totoro posted:The final mission in the Felwinter quest is pretty neat. Is that the one requiring a bunch of shotgun kills? Maybe I should just do Gambit with dual shotguns for a while. I have a fully automatic Saint IX shotty that is perfect for Gambit. I know some of the One Two punch shotguns can pair well with Liar's Handshake, but it's hard to beat seven shotgun blasts at a decent RoF.

I have no idea how long it's gonna take to upgrade a bunker enough to get the mechs for lost sectors available. Nobody wants to do the Seraph events either, can usually find one other person in the space who'll come over if I start one and sometimes I get really lucky and there's two/three people around but they always fail. Sometimes manage to get one tower done however and maybe two if really lucky. Thanks for the tips, though.

I can normally knock out all of them, plus the Seraph bunker bounties, in two hours. The weekly ones normally take me one or two days, with the exception of the Gambit "Cast your Super" one. That one is slow for some reason. (I'm a hunter, that's why)

With Destiny being dead for the time being, let's talk about the future. What's coming up for Destiny? A new expansion? A new season? An entirely new Destiny? I don't follow Destiny news at all, so I apologize if what's next is common knowledge. I loving love this game and want them to give me reasons to keep playing. We should have a "Prettiest Princess" contest with our characters as well. Because mine would win. Dawn and Dusk Shader + Optimacy/Luxe/Dawning ornaments. Game over.

Discospawn wrote up a pretty good summary over in the PC thread:Discospawn posted:Bungie's launch of the "Targeted Engram" system (66% of legendary engram world drops) that lets us... get the same loot as we had for each of the past 3 seasons (if you buy the season pass), in addition to new Season 11 loot. tl;dr: more bounty grinding, new engrams that either give old loot or Season 11 gear, and everything you pick up in Season 11 will be LL-capped and need to be replaced in Season 12. Bungie hasn't released an announcement trailer or anything for next season, so other that what they've announced, we're all in the dark.

Wow. poo poo. I mean, I haven’t booted up Destiny since the season after shadowkeep but the news in these threads is just getting worse and worse. Bewildering is loving right. I miss it. It’s my favorite game of all time. But what they’re doing is just depressing. At the same time, Division boyz are having a grand old time as those developers keep making the game better, weapons stronger, perks more awesomer. They took the road of making everyone weaker and every enemy harder to beat at the start of the new expansion predictably to make the content last longer, but they then took the smart road and have been progressively reintroducing all the mechanics and balance passes that give every player back their OP godliness. It’s just maddening to watch both these developers take such different tacks. While Division becomes rad as gently caress, Destiny becomes the new Anthem. Sounds like season 12 might be the next time to reboot the game and get back into the swing of things. That’s a ways off. And like that post above says, there’s sure as poo poo not much hope Bungie will actually come through with a good product. My dudes seriously, take a break from this game. There are sooo many good games out right now. New and old. Gamepass is wonderful. The xbone store sales are like 80% off on great titles. There are ways to get our fix that don’t involve constant frustration and longing. I’d even go so far as to say that Bungie doesn’t deserve our playtime or money anymore. At all. If this was our neighborhood pizza fix we’ve loved for years and they suddenly started running the place into the ground, half-assing the dough, using loving yard trash for toppings we’d.. find a new pizza place. COD warzone has such badass pvp. Hell, even that Dwarf Rock Miner game is out now and it’s probably the best drat 4 person co-op to ever exist. I love you all. Don’t suffer. Leave this toxic relationship.

Yeah, I just noped out the game but really wanna grab 4th Horseman and Felwinters (which I'd still have if they hadn't insisted on making a freakin' sequel rather than continually building on the first game) and it looks like my two grinds are getting light level up for Horseman and Seraph Bunker fuckery for Felwinters. Remember when Bungie said they wanted to respect players time, and for players to just stop playing whenever and come back without any hassle? I wish they stuck to that philosophy so I could come get the couple guns I'd like then play other stuff until the end of year expansion

Yeah, it's going to take some adjustment after how long Destiny has been part of my evening, but I think it's time to explore other options. I enjoyed Div 1 until I hit the level cap and enemies became ungodly sponge monsters. Hell, I might even play some BF1. (FUUUUCK BFV. That's another feel bad video game story.)

Fly Molo posted:Discospawn wrote up a pretty good summary over in the PC thread: That isn't completely accurate, the majority of what you'll be earning will be good through season 12-14, depending on issue date. The UI in Season 11 will be updated to let you know exactly how high you'll be able to infuse a particular piece of gear. That said, the season isn't likely to be fantastic, and if you're burned out, There won't be a better time to take a break than next season. I am pretty sure that the Y4 big expansion will be substantial, assuming they're taking some of the work they would have finished for the Destiny 3 Activision would have been requiring and moved it into D2. Bust Rodd posted:Oh yeah I didn’t even think of that. What happens to activities that only drop Sunset gear?

I think the Polaris Lance catalyst might be one of the biggest pain in the rear end things ever. It's badly worded. But, "Hit four precision shots in a row. Then land a fifth shot that doesn't kill, but burns the enemy. Only burn damage counts." Who loving thought that was a fun gameplay loop?
