dear lord let me favorite shaders or organize them in any literal way at all.

Also the customization screen is good to design looks, but why can't I set and forget a 'look like this always except when wearing an exotic' layer

Wish we could favorite some and just have them populate at the start of the menu.

I wish someone thought further than "yeah just put all shaders in a random order across 10 pages"

also getting 1308 drops from IB bounties is cool i guess.

Feels like Witherhoard's autoaim's had a big nerf though. Probably a good thing, although it's always disappointing to see the glob consistently go sailing straight through a big enemy's legs or past its side instead of locking on like a homing missile.

What is a good shotgun for grinding the IB quest? I have some exotics but am rather terrible with shotguns in general.

I did mine with a Seventh Seraph CQC with Slideshot. Felwinter's of course still works, just not quite as well as last season. The IB shotgun if you got a decent one. Astral maybe?

there weren't even really "characters" until Taken King, other than Ghost, queen and uldren. Zavala/Ikora/Cayde were just quest ATMs

As much as people liked Oryx he barely spoke in-game, he had a few scary ominous lines but he just did the standard Hive roaring and howling when in combat, Ghaul had more precense and he spent most of his time arguing with the Speaker.

My dim recollection of D1, having played through the main campaign, was that Cayde was the only character with any personality at all.

Sigh. I do wish we could do without the quest steps that need heavy ammo in PvP. It is unfun.

Thank God it's only three kills

There's a timer that pops up before it spawns and you get about 7 seconds after someone picks up the box to get it as wellqq, so if you're out of position you're sol

I'm used to leaping around with Bad Omens in crucible - I love that thing. Heir Apparent was a v good idea. Got two. One to go and I'm not gonna sweat it, just let it happen as part of normal play. Must remember to let it be fun and not be a grumpy goof.

:blastu:

I am very embarrassed to admit I had no idea the ammo was shared and would always scoot away when I saw someone picking it up. So that will make things easier. Whenever I'd been there at the same time as someone else and hit the button it would go round and I'd not get anything, so I just assumed they beat me to it. Will press button again. :sparkles:

Ahaha - none of the people I play with knew this either. Shared dumb.

It's shared in some modes (control, IB) but not in others (e.g. elimination), and the sharing was changed in the game at some point in the past, so you might have "learned" the wrong expectation before.

I may be wrong on this but I could swear if you’re the second one to grab it off the wall, it doesn’t complete the “pick up heavy ammo” bounty even though you do get ammo.

I wasn’t even talking about sharing ammo. I’m talking about the pubbies who just rush in without looking and give the enemy team free kills because they gotta have that heavy ammo. People aren’t cautious enough when these heavy ammo quests pop up.
