There are 4 spawn points. You can force the invader to spawn at a certain place by coordinating your team to be at the other spots when you see the bar about to cross the portal breakpoint.

There's a 4th?! Each Map has 3 enemy wave locations. Can it spawn an Invader at the mote deposit?

So 8ish hours at 5 per run x 20 minutes? That might be doable but would definitely be the upper limit of how much I can play tonight since I sadly don't get off work until 7 CST.

An ilvl 600 would give me a nice jumpstart and is probably worth the effort if I can make it happen. I'll give it an hour or 2 and see how it is going.

And you've got til 8:59am pacific tomorrow, too.

It rips in Gambit but there's too much competition for the exotic slot in that mode so I don't ever use it.

Year 1 Destiny 2 was tuned to last about 2 weeks. The entire game was over on console before the PC version even launched. It was embarrassingly bad.

And the real magic was that Osiris, the first expansion to the painfully shallow vanilla, was A W F U L

The worst piece of content ever added to the game.

Even its big holiday event (the Dawning, AKA the Pawning) was a straight "Pay $10 to experience one interval of Event"

More interesting Destiny things that were abandoned/forgotten:

• Necrochasm - a gun you level up from a white to a purple to an exotic. That is hella interesting and never used again
• The Stranger (don't try to argue that poo poo was wrapped up or some Anna Bray bullshit, it was abandoned)
• Charlemagne

Acrius and Polaris lance both got upgraded

The stranger was somehow related to Anna bray, totally solved.

Hey all,



Since the release of Forsaken, we’ve been fielding feedback concerning the Oathkeeper Exotic Gauntlets for Hunters. Primarily, players do not feel that the Adamantine Brace perk offers a significant change to bow charge times.



As such, we are removing “Bows charge faster” from the description of the perk

Really hope IB bounties will count toward the bounties step! And that Rumble is available when I need it to be!

Oh man, just to make sure you don't screw yourself over here, start collecting, completing, and holding (don't turn in!!!!) the daily crucible bounties. You need 20, so if you get to that step 4 days before the season ends, you won't be able to complete it.

I turned in 17 at once when I got to that step and was able to get the final 3 the next day.

Thought they said in the twab that quest progress isnt resetting, you won't have to pick up a new quest. ut since the season is resetting if you're on a step that requires reaching x rank in the season then progress towards that step will reset

If he resets valor 5 times this season and doesn't complete the 20 bounty step, he'll have to do 5 resets next season.

If the bounty locks in the 5 reset objective and ticks over to displaying the next objective, he should be fine. You only lose progress if you're at say 4.5 resets and the box remains unchecked when the season ends.

Step 7: • Complete 20 Crucible Bounties

Step 8: • Reset your Valor rank 5 times within a single season

If you don't complete step 7, you won't able to work on step 8. See what I mean? If he's on Step 7 on November 27th, he'll need to do 5 valor resets when he makes it to Step 8.

qbert posted:

The 20 bounty step is before the 5 reset step. So even if he hits 5 resets, if he hasn't completed the 20 bounty step before the season ends, he'll have to do 5 resets again.

Anyone still trying to get Broadsword this season should strongly consider holding on to their Crucible bounties now and saving up for that step.



I was just digging through the TWAB and I saw something that gave me pause, though.

While questlines for Luna’s Howl and Not Forgotten are available year-round, Crucible ranks will reset at the end of Season 4. Each quest contains a quest step to reach a rank milestone, and progress may be lost for these specific steps if you do not reach the requirements prior to the season ending. Progress for alternate quest steps will not be reset. If you’re in the middle of getting precision kills or completing Rumble matches, you will not lose any progress in those steps.


I've seen some drat wise men look downright foolish trying to interpret bungie explanations, but this sure sounds to me like their intent is to let you do 5 resets in one season and claim the reward in a future one. Find out and let us know!

Serious non-shitpost question: Am I crazy or does PVE enemy health and damage swing wildly in Gambit matches? I'll go in and just murdertown, and next game it takes a ton of shots to kill a normal red bar and everything is chewing me up.

I'm trying to determine if it's just the difference between teammates and if one person does not do their job the adds build up fast, but it seems like the same amount of enemies.

Also I don't know how they programed ammo drop rates, but that needs to be looked at again. I don't need or even expect it to rain purple, but I should not go 5 minutes without a brick of green in PVE.

They said something very weird about this during the gambit bungie bounty stream yesterday. They said that the challenge of the activity (enemy health, enemy damage) is intended to be dynamic and has a unique difficulty scaler similar to a Nightfall, and that there are no "Hidden Modifiers" in gambit but the scaling does change to provide a Dynamic Experience.

No one has a clue what they meant.
