What if instead you could have picked between two "rewards" packages with different loot pools. I feel like this is something that they had figured out before.

Thanks everyone.


So I can finish the current step for the class item and the next time IB rolls around I can continue from that point and instantly start with the chest step, rather than starting from the beginning again (for that character, at least)? This will stay in my pursuits tab until Shadowkeep launches with progress from each IB carrying over to the next? That's not so bad if so, gives me a chance to hopefully snag stuff for more than one character as well.

Yes.

The next quest steps go much quicker than the grenade one too.

Also there's a chance that Shadowkeep will make all the current armor obsolete anyway!

Yes, that was added to Destiny 1 at some point. Every time you claimed a faction package (remember those?) you could choose whether it was armor, weapons, or possibly a third thing I forget.

That's a relief and yeah, I expect them to become obsolete in practical terms, but not aesthetically. I just want some chest/head pieces to use with the new transmog system for when Shadowkeep lets players change the look of armor they use.

Speaking of, I really hope Faction Rallies come back. I never got a chance to participate but each vendor had some nice armor sets. I don't know why they don't just make them like they were in D1 so they're extra things to do and work towards from the tower? Wanna get all the New Monarchy gear.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I love adding armor pieces to the pool. Turned in the quest step for the gauntlets, then decided to turn in all my coins and the system works perfectly.

Yeah but I'm glad it's (hopefully) being done like Y1>Y2 stuff where you can still use/infuse it if you want and transition slowly. Not like in Taken King where oops, all Y1 stuff is trash now. You can't do that in a game where you get weapons and gear with quests like "get 1000 bow final blows in Gambit" or whatever.

I mean, out of that I did get armor with enhanced momentum, and another with sniper loaded and sniper scavenger. So that is ok. Just that I’ve only gotten one good fusion rifle roll out of all of the firmly planted/genesis or whatever rolls I got.

Not being able to buy a set roll of any IB you unlock is dumb. (maybe I'm the dumb one for infusing my gloves into my enhanced hc reload gloves before realizing I needed the whole set for a triumph quest)

It's a Second Place GL though, and it's something I'll have to live with if I don't score a good roll by the end of today.

speaking of snipers I'm so glad this revoker quest just uses total glory points earned

I do wish I had saved the IB sniper with opening shot and snapshot from a while back. It's the only sniper that can have both.

I'm using either the twilight with opening shot / bb or beloved with snapshot / bb.

Is there any map where twilight wouldn't give me enough range? both bb and opening shot increase it right?

I'm 90% sure box and opening both increase range but opening shot is pretty rediculous on its own.

Pro tip for clearing out your pursuits page: any quests that are “complete the so and so triumph” can be safely abandoned and picked back up from the vendor once you actually made the progress on the triumph

Roman

Ok I found a good Thorn build on youtube (Destiny Fun Police) that's good in PVE, also PVP but I haven't tried it yet. If you have Antaeus Wards, use it with middle tree Striker, which has Inertia Override. Wards are for protection and + slide distance to pick up ammo & Remnants. If you pick up ammo AND a Remnant while sliding that's a full reload AND +weapon damage AND a Devourer buff. If you're fighting a bunch of adds you almost never have to reload.

So I wasn't able to play much this past week but I had time last night so I decided hey maybe I'll finish up the IB quest. I just gotta finish the grenade kills. Plus with the cheese at the last step, I got this. :unsmith:

...three hours later. (11pm) Ok wow finally got that done. Onto the next step. Finished that up relatively easily and quickly considering I'm getting matched against killers all night and my blueberries are absolute garbage. :smith:

(12:30 pm) You have to get up for work at 6am, just remember that yamdankee. Don't worry! I'm sure I'll get the 2 win streak no problem and then I'll do the cheese real quick and go to bed!



:smithicide:

That 2nd 'win' near the top didn't count as a win. That was this:



3:30am

Every time I won I was immediately put into a losing match.

53 matches in one night. :suicide:

Same experience.

Only needing the two wins, constant 6 mans with dumb baby teammates. During the 5 or 6 losing streak, I started growling obscenities at the television hoping that my oval office magic would deliver my words to my mongoloid teammates.

Second win in a row came from me dropping a 22 kill 5.5 kad against a six stack while three of my team went negative.

That's why needing to wear the armor and grind more for the shaders etc is crushing. I am so over it after that bullshit.

I think the streak bonus counts for any non competitive queue does it not? So you could do rumble or QP to get the streak.

I tapped out last night with like 15% each in Scout/Auto/Sniper kills and farmed the same 8 or so players for about 30 minutes this morning and got the rest. I guess I must be technically as bad as they were even though I was finishing games with like 40 kills and just annihilated them.

Suros Regime and Jade Rabbit catalysts are both progressed as well, honestly not so bad.

Thank god for the cheese though good grief

You need two IB wins in a row to get the streak there in specific, then you can cheese it by queueing and immediately unqueueing when you see the number of players pop up, as I understand it. I might be wrong. Both of those stories sound like hell though. I got lucky in my wonderful 1.7 k/d matchmaking and got my two wins on games three and four after the quest step.
