A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

if they can actually shift the light classes over to this system and give a lot more flexibility, it might make the already existing plethora of exotics useful.

You only get the upgraded light classes if you buy the "Whoops, back to Light" expansion.

I got killed so many times by the stupid launchers in the Expunge mission. Oh whats that you didn't land in the exact spot we thought you should? Well then either die outright or lose all your health so you can get killed by the sniper around the corner. Hell the worst death came when I just tried to walk up to it to get launched and it just murdered me for no reason. That was the first launcher and when I knew I was in for one.

gently caress yes. First launcher, went to walk over the top of it so you can drop down over the lip to be launched as per usual.

"instant death"

Nervously edged around all launchers after that.

Get 2 titan swords, one with vorpal, one with whirlwind or en-garde. Put boss spec on the vorpal and have flashbacks to telling the other five people on your team to whip out their gjallarhorns because the shield is down OH MY GOD DO YOU NOT HAVE GJALLARHORN

I’ve never much been for the narrative. Since they bought back that blue crack munger instead of cayde I’ve had tears in my cornflakes.

That being said. It doesn’t sound like a hell of a lot more has been released. So I don’t suppose it would really take me much time at all to catch up.

Doth there be room in the clan or should I not abandon my classy Saint 14 clan. Kinda stoked I got that name until I realised it should have been XIV.

Oh, sun setting nonsense, are they still rustling jimmies with that?

Sunsetting is over but anything sunset at the end of last season (cap below LL 1310) stays sunset until reissue.

if there is anything I hate in this game it's platforming. I don't know if it's different with other classes but titans seems to be wearing roller skates and also be covered in spring loaded roller skates when landing. I swear if your shoulder touches a wall while coming down you bounce off the wall instead of stopping and falling down. Lord help me if the wall is a slight angle or small ledge, I just accelerate down and bounce off to my death instead of landing. I've been playing since D1 and I still don't know exactly where the characters feet are in relation to my POV.

Expunge is cool though, and I'd probably sword fly across instead of trying to jump around like a monkey to get the weekly time challenge.

Also, which chat do I look for raid groups for xbone in? I see there are quite a number in the serious overchill discord and a half dozen d2 rooms with various levels of activity. The only raid I've done is the original Leviathan, and that was a day before it was removed and the team I was with skipped a lot of everything in between encounters and we beat it in like 20 minutes?

Physics are a bit hosed yeah. I noticed it with the slides in Override, and of course there's things like the Fallen SABER yeet wall that will get you. I don't think I'm a good enough platformer to give advice but it isn't just you, it's the physics engine at work.
FWIW when I did the trial on my other classes, Hunter had by far the easiest time in Override thanks to the momentum-kill jump, and Warlock had a rough time like Titan did but the vertical momentum killed a little faster.

One of the worst things about Destiny jumping is how if there's a small incline in the floor in front of you and you jump, it springboards you up and slowly backwards. If you're trying to run out of a clusterfuck, it's absolutely deadly.

How you know you've played too much Destiny is when you know where every one of these is and when to seemingly randomly jump across basically even floors during combat.

Dang, Titans are getting knocked way down the pvp viability list! I don't think Hunters or Warlocks will suffer quite as much, but wow. Could definitely see sunbreaker and thundercrash being the new 3s subclass

Yeah, reading through it I went "any part of this on its own is okay, but really, all in one patch?". It's gonna be a nasty next IB for me.

e: I'm not even really surprised they went all in with the changes, more so that they didn't do it in stages so they could collect data without every change at once overlapping and confounding it. But that's just ny half-remembered statistics courses talking I guess.

I’m honestly in the same boat. They came into their own when doing jump puzzles like whisper and the pulse rifle mission.

Since then I’ve also struggled to justify any other exotic armour over the sheer mobility you gain with Stompies. It’s almost a detriment at this point but I just can’t imagine not jumping 900 feet In the air or sword flying across ridiculous gaps.

I did use celestial nighthawk for a while for the sheer health stripping it could do. But even then I ended up back with stompies. I’m institutionalised now. There’s no going back.
