So, is that whole bounty reset thing going to mess with my loving Breakneck Pursuit?

I really don't want to play 14 more matches of that before the end of the month.

So....what exactly should I do with my hundreds of saved up Vanguard and Crucible tokens?

I don't know if turning them in before would help me get achievements and pursuits completed, or if I should save them.

I really want to get my pursuits tab as empty as possible.

Save your tokens for Tuesday, because they will give more useful and valuable items then.

Hand in all Vanguard/Crucible/Gambit BOUNTIES beforehand, but save the tokens.

You can hold on to other (Non-vanguard/crucible/gambit) bounties if you want to boost your XP next season, but that's very optional.

Thank you, kind sir. :downs:

I've not gone to him this game because I haven't ran nightfalls to get coins yet.

Gambit Prime is so much better than regular. What's the difference in matchmaking?

Also, do Prime matches count towards regular gambit bounties?

I just want to get to the point where I can actually start working on a set of gear. With how expensive infusing is, I’m constantly swapping out things and not adding upgrades, knowing a light cap raising is coming.

With Hunters, what have people been doing for their mobility/resilience/recovery? I’ve always been doing about 8/4/2 or something around that. My character keeps getting melted in PvP, and sometimes it happens so fast it feels like it isn’t my error.

Well, you're about to become 750 and have 150 new levels of soft cap to burn through, and then 50 levels of hard cap where you pray for a +1 in the right slot after doing your Daily Strike Powerful

I’ve got a big old bag of a couple hundred (250-400) Crucible, Vanguard, and Gunsmith mats. I’m hoping to get through that soft cap fast.

Just make the first thing you do Tuesday to be the Shadowkeep campaign. It'll boost you up a bit.

Getting through the soft cap from Crucible tokens alone will require something like 3500 to 6000 tokens! Let's hope the campaign puts a big dent in the work.

Oh man, thank you for telling me that. I’m pretty sure I would have done it backwards.

I just watched a cut scene with ikora on the moon. As far as aesthetics goes, I've always been a function over form destiny player. But gd do I look hideous.

I always keep a stack of about 20 Metallic Purple shaders and replenish them for 250 constantly. I normally keep my character covered in the main shader.

When that cutscene happened, I was covered in a bunch of random blues. My character had that mask on that looks like a Imperial Guard helmet from Star Wars, but with bug eyes. It literally looked like my character was going, "HUUUUURRRRR."

What is the best way to get a recorded video clip onto the internet? The website I was using has become more and more hideous and ad infested.

I got killed by an Ogre, and my body just started doing 360s in the air for a solid ten seconds, but in place. It was like I was falling down invisible stairs while stationary.

Bungie said a few weeks back they’ve been tracking everyone’s “PvP skill” (lol). Post-Shadowkeep, Comp is supposed to match make based on that hidden score; and give you extra glory/reduced glory loss until your real Glory matches that hidden glory/skill score they have for you.

Since this is Bungie, their system is probably (definitely) broken in some hilarious way.


it doesn’t roll on boots any more, just leggings

Nothing like a good old "hidden number" system.

Last night I stayed up two hours past my normal sleeping time to play that campaign. While I'm enjoying everything because I only picked D2 back up three weeks ago, I was disappointed everything was just recycled maps and re-skinned characters.

Also, Sweet Business has me coming in first in rando Crucible more often than not. People lose TTK races with me because I pre-fire, get angry, and spend the rest of the match trying to melee kill me.

The random things that pop up on armor and mods? If so, I’m reasonably happy for being light level 940. Not sure if there is something I should be striving for out of everything.

Then ib armor and weapons will be the same for a year so you're just doing it for enhanced perks and weapon/armor rolls so. Yes.

The more enhanced perks you can get the more they're out of the pool getting you closer to what you want.

If you don't know about the perks. Watch dattos tutorial video. They actually make things a lot better in some cases.

Will do. I'm sorta clued in to what mods to slot where, but it sounds like I'm missing some information. I don't really know which perks are worth chasing at this point because my gear seems to be changing so rapidly. I was planning on spergin' hard on that stuff once I hit 950.

Finally hit 950!

Question -

Does anyone want to refresh me on where to go from here? Does that make Tier One rewards not worth pursuing? Is it just Pinnacle, Tier Two, and Prime drops? I know the artifact bumps people higher, but is 960 the actual hard cap?

I'm OK with not scrambling to do vendor bounties all day, every day.

Second Question - Exotic armor, at least "Lucky Pants", seem to have a way lower sub-rating (34) versus all my other armor that is over 60. Is that normal or did I get an awful roll? I don't have others to compare with them.

Mazerunner posted:

if you're 950 the only progression is pinnacle- GoS raid, iron banner bounties, 100k nightfall score. maybe the next dungeon we'll see. The drops will be at 951

but the trick is that you only upgrade to the next level when ALL your gear is 951- kinetic, energy and heavy weapons and all five armour slots. it means any drops in a duplicate slot are 'wasted' for progressing light. Mathematically, there was just barely enough drops this season I think to hit 960, if you do everything, with perfect rng. Also there isn't equal chance at each slot- the raid has like 5 energy weapons, and no heavy, for example.

Getting 960 is not really feasible- don't worry about it, you're done. If you get good rng and do a reasonable amount of pinnacle activities each week you might max out at 952 or 3 or something

Oh wow, thanks. It's going to take me a little bit to get to 950 in each slot, but I LOVE that I can start ignoring all the daily bounties for tokens. I've been doing them because they've helped speed things up. But I have almost four pages of quests and exotics to get done. Now I can actually pay attention to that list.

I do wonder if D2 is done. I stopped playing D1 towards the end, where did light cap out on that game? I need to factor how much hoarding I need to do.
