Why do blue drops even exist in 2019 in the third year of the game

Honestly my only complaint so far is that Bungo needs to blow up the goddamn consumable tab already. Get rid of the synths, put them into the synthesizer or just let them stack past 20 (??????). Get rid of the telemetries and rainmakers and matterweaves (seriously why do they even drop? Why not just have the fuckin cores drop and cut out the consumable you dipshits!)

I really wish they added new perks this expansion, the Vex offensive gun perk combos are all stupidly conservative I think the only unique gun is the pulse with multikillclip. The Moon guns are waaay more interesting though and I'm actually gonna hard grind a bunch of them. I really want that 4-burst raid pulse with rapid hit too!

Honestly the most offensively stupid thing now is the new items that don't stack to 999. The upgrade cores max out at 15! WHY?

So I know there are guardians that will ditch or harm their ghosts for some reason, usually because their going off the deep end. Does that ever go the other way? Can you be such a total psycho that they'll float off rather then drop a rez?

I found the remains of Tolands old ghost on the moon and it had a final recording to the extent of "Haha, Tolands going to become some kind of Hive god/Darkness thingy and my only regret is not getting to see the look on your faces when he comes for you! plus I think Drifter did something really unpleasant to his and it was nothing but encouraging about the business.

One of the Ghost Stories is about a ghost who left his crazy Don Quixote guardian dead

I'm as unhappy about eververse as the next person, but I would pay money for a 'stop shooting the domes, shoot the big thing dumbass' emote for the taken public events.

People largely know how to trigger public events it's just not worthwhile if you can finish stuff quicker and move to other stuff, heroic rewards are middling unless you specifically need heroic for a bounty

like the Tangled Shore events never go heroic because it's like 10x longer

While I appreciate all the responses, what I meant to ask originally was "Is Merciless still good?" I've sunk enough time into destiny that I'm not going to actively pursue a roll on any given gun.

Prospector is one of the highest DPS weapons in the game if you don't want to chase random rolls

Art assets are expensive, and I’d personally rather the new guns show up in something I haven’t done before. I’m siding with Bungie on this one

Legit like 75% of the exotics and pinnacle weapons they added to D2 post release are rehashed D1 models with like slightly better textures lol

Recluse would still be incredibly strong without feeding frenzy but it might open up the possibility of actually using other things. That seems like a better option than just letting everything in the game melt and bringing us all the way back to the problems of year 2 balance

I hope I didn't have to do the Vex Offensive stuff last week to progress whatever story because I didn't bother since powerfuls are useless and the guns/armour are poo poo lol

Also because I played IB all weekend and ground out like 1500 IB tokens across all 3 characters for high armour rolls and enhanced mods...

Exit Strat is really good, I've got Edgewise but not used it yet, is Demolitionist better on it or Rampage?

Imo yes, the best two perks are field prep and demolistionist. After the nerf, rampage is kinda eh, while demo refreshes your grenade after 6-7 kills and reloads your lmg. Field prep gives you extra reserves (and it scales so you get like +100 rounds or something with a rapid fire frame) and actually has a faster reload while crouched than feeding frenzy.

Anyone actually get the eriana's vow catalyst, or is the questline still moving like frozen molasses?

It's 50 games of gambit prime or 100 strikes, then 700 kills. Someone grinded it out in the first few days but if you aren't insane it's better to do it over time. The perk (auto-loading holster) is good but isn't worth the insanity.

Is this shotgun good or am I still an idiot about stats and perks? It has opening shot and rampage.



For PvP you want full choke + accurized rounds. That roll is ok for pve I guess but there autoloading holster or one-two punch or pretty much anything is better than opening shot. Rampage and aggressive frame shotties is a fun combo if you're going full ape in pvp

E: auto correct

Jade rabbit is good in pvp because it can 3 tap, has great range and is really stable. The perk doesn't really matter it's just a well-statted 150.

how do you get enhanced mods? what do they do?

Aside from the handful on the seasonal artifact they are random drops from pinnacle activities and are just more effective versions of existing mods. The best place to get them was grinding iron banner last week and turning in tokens but they drop from Master Nightfalls/Nightmare hunts as well (and presumably the raid, didn't see any though and not grindable).

A 4th weapon slot, even if limited to primaries or even just sidearms would be amazing.

Speaking of which, what are the best pvp sidearms? I know they've never been in the meta, but I want to screw around with them.

Last Dance is a beast, sidearms have always hovering around the periphery of the meta esp. when the shotgun meta ran wild in early forsaken

Speaking of snipers I'm wondering which archetype does the most damage in pve. I know Izanagi's and Whisper are king here but I don't have those!

Rapid fire is the highest dps but lowest overall dmg, aggressive does the most overall dmg but lowest dps, and adaptive in in the middle for both. The best legendary pve snipers overall should be sole survivor/tranquility with firing line (both are adaptive)

The other week I realized that I was running out of time to get the Undying title so I started to grind out the rest of the triumphs I needed. I'm most of the way done now, but my friends stopped playing the game and I found out that I still need to complete a 980 nightfall. I went in solo to see what it would be like and I think I basically need to be carried to have any chance at this. I looked up some tips but they all require weapons I don't have yet :sigh:

I still need the 980 Nightfall as well. pretty sure you don't need Izanagi's/Divinity to clear, people just want them for farming the master NF since it trivializes the champions. I will run it whenever, it probably will take like an hour or something as long as everyone is like 965-970

Scouts are already good and they are nerfing Recluse. Randy's slaps and will be even better with seasonal mods. Also the new exotic looks like a rapid-fire frame with mega kill clip action so it will probably be good as well.

Where are you seeing this? Extrapolating from video and numbers?

From the video where the warlock killed someone with the scout with headshots then reloaded and made the gun all glowy and started shooting arc fusion bolts at people and blowing them up

I'm assuming it's just like higher damage kill clip given the precedent with Huckleberry and Monte Carlo (and Bad Juju I think) after the perk nerfs

Uh the eris fusion and raid fusion are both cool and roll interesting perks

They both roll the same boring perks that fusions have had forever, there is no mind-blowing difference between a proelium and a zealot's reward which is honestly embarrassing for a raid weapon. Same with Dreambreaker, add new perks to the game ffs

This is one of the dumbest posts I’ve ever seen so I hope you’re trolling. Dream breaker has rangefinder in a different perk slot, which is massive and lets you get combos you’d only dream of on prior fusions, and note it can roll disruption break. Zealot can get shield disorient AND disruption break which is bonkers. It also has feeding frenzy.

Zealot’s Reward




Dream breaker





Proleium



Dream breaker is trash, shield disorient is trash too and was on the scourge fusion which also sucked. Give me interesting perks, give me a fusion with one-two punch or demo or something. Rangefinder and generic +stats perks is the most boring poo poo imaginable. "Wow you aren't cumming your pants for firmly planted and rangefinder in 2019???" That poo poo is boring man.

The best way to farm resources is to load into the southern point on Mars and go west into the cave and go all the way through, each run is usually like 5 seraphite and you can transmat back out and do it again. You can pick up a kill/assassination patrol and do it on the way through as well.
