You do the Pale Heart quests after the campaign to unlock more weapons and armor.
I hope you like Overthrow.
As an aside, can someone tell me what the point of the 4pc First Ascent set bonus is? Are transcendence grenades actually so strong that it's worth using your 4pc set bonus just to throw one more?

I did speed-watch a 3 min video, it said that after I beat both Xir versions a big guy spawns and I have to run out of the door and stand on a plate. But not taken xir is dead and I do not have the torn between worlds buff, so taken Xir is immune. Am I retarded and missed something?

That was a new frame with the one you're looking at, 2024 FotL. There's like 2-3 of them, it never got off the ground. They're not very good for PvE vs slugs for DPS or pellets for melee builds and are worthless in PvP (because they aren't a OHK like a normal slug or pellet shotgun)

No they are garbage
For PVE shotguns are basically exclusively used for one-two punch (barring exotics)
For PVP precisions or slugs or Felwinters are king, and burst slug defeats the whole purpose.
>>
>>573096016
Their only purpose is to prime threat levels cascade point
>>
>>573096016
They suck in pvp because you have to land both slugs as crits to get a kill. They were o.ly good in pvebriefly when they were glitched and would apply a double buff of one hit punch. The one you have there i'd rock rapid hit instead of recon, otherwise you won't be able to proc joltshot for the first seven shots. But even still, it's only be useful for killing reds
>>
>>573096016
ty guys that all make sense, ran around some patrol zone and yeah it seems a bit pointless. also i realized stat packages on shotguns barely matter except range in PvP, because ideally you just stick these things up a vex's asshole and 1-tap it, anyway.
>>
>>573096202
There's probably a blight you didn't shoot. Are you killing taken xir in one phase and not shooting the blights at all? You need to kill not-taken first.

doesn't it always drop t5 because it doesn't have a master mode or is that only specific dungeons?
>>
>>573098046
Nope, taken xir is alive at 1/3 health, and each time I damaged him for 1/3 of his health bar he would go immune and I shot the 3 blights, repeating it until not-taken xir is dead and taken xir is immune at 1/3 health, in the normal world, not the taken plane.

Oh, i read your earlier post wrongz yeah that's not glitched bro. When taken xir is at his last third go outside the room.

So the featured dungeon list this week is
>Warlord's Ruin
>Duality
>Grasp of Avarice
>Equilibrium (but I already did it)
Notably of the featured dungeons
>Prophecy
>Shattered Throne
>Grasp (Niche)
Have actual good gear. Hilariously both of these dungeons have no master mode so the ONLY way to get these pieces as T5 is doing them the week they are featured.
On that note keep a lookout for weeks that feature Kings fall and Salvations edge as those raids have extremely good 2p sets. Also VoG (this week) but its pretty niche

Thanks guys! How hard would rate these Dungeons? I did Equilibrium once, and most fights made sense quite quickly, but I didn't quite get what I should be doing on the last fight.

Besides that, It was actual hell trying to do the section where you jump between the ships as a Warlock, I swear to gods every single developer is laying hunter or something. I had to switch to Balanced gliding + use a sword to make that single jump

Not to jump to the defense of Bungie, but brother it's more common that you would think, even when your code pack is as clean as you want it to be. I once had an issue in Unity where changing a speed value from 25 to 35 on a hard-scripted event element made the launch screen go out of alignment. Changing it to 34 or 36 did not produce the issue. Figure that fuckin one for me. Yeah >Unity, whatever. Weird stuff happens in gamedev and in a company the size of Bungie it probably has to get signed off by about 7 different people with re:'s from another 6 that it's been tested and checked. But you can still attribute how much 'work' goes into a simple bugfix to middle-manager bloat.

Game is rated T or its equivalent in other markets, so there are some words that must be censored to meet that, or else it'd be rated M or that equivalent and that would harm their sales and cause issues in China.

Hi Cross
RuneScape is still rated T via forcibly blocking certain words (namely slurs) and a STRONG usage of the "online interactions not rated by the ESRB" thing.
Like I said, it's the only reasonable thing I could think of as justification for it, not that it IS the reason.

>>573104072
It’s nice to try out different builds and some of the weapons are genuinely really good to great, it just takes too long even at 30 waves. 50 waves was insane, thankfully they got rid of that.
>>
For Threat Level, what rolls are good besides Cascade Point + All-Star? All-Star seems really good even for stuff like GMs since it will reload the weapon and the timer stops when stowed, as long as you can reliably generate ammo bricks.
>>
>>573118853
Use the star wars artifact mod to generate bricks from hitting targets with threat level
Otherwise chaos reshaped feels like a decent alternative without all star and elemental honing would be great on prismatic builds
>>
>>573118853
One-Two Punch/Trench Barrel is THE roll for it for melee builds, either Liar's or bonk hammer
As a shotgun itself (no melee build), Lead from Gold/Chaos Reshaped is also a decent option.
The "big sell" for Threat Level is as a melee build enabler though.

I solod it on warlock and titan
Use the artifact that has solo operative for big damage
Two routes you can take: 1k bolt charge does pretty amazing damage or you can do grand overture which for whatever reason melts her pretty good. With overture you can break her arms with it or just use a rocket pulse and one shot her arms instantly with 1 burst. If you wanna go Unga bunga with swords go stronghold bubble titan and camp her with bubble and block for restoration. I did overture on my hunter so my survivability was only DR and I was able to manage her pretty good. Titan offers alot of survivability options. I guess my only advice for the best survivability (atleast during vesper times) is use lorely splendor and get free heals upon barricade cast or red health. Compell shadows for an extra +5 seconds I usually compel 3 before killing the rest and always expect arc in middle and btfo. Use double arc resist and 1 melee resist

Every time hunters have a good PvE build it gets nerfed, meanwhile w*rlocks can rule the fucking sandbox for years on end because Bungie is full of drunken transgenders.
Bungie really went and gave warlocks an equal attention bug for the final update so they could holocaust hand bosses for 20k dps.

Tried Equilibrium yesterday, and I was wondering what my group did wrong on the Harrow fight, we would get to the last stage, and then our group would just wipe due to a time mechanic or something? Not sure what happened, maybe we lacked DPS or something?
>>
>>573144986
If you come back to DPS at Harrow and DIDN'T bring up the pylons, you more than likely were standing in the electricity and thats an instakill.
>>
Finally completed Warlord's Ruin, it really is time for me to look into better DPS because that was way too many phases
>>
>>573145368
Huh? Didn't notice any electric effect at all, this is in the final stage after he blows up the door and moves to the other area, Maybe I'm just like super blind or something
>>
>>573144291
just pick up leviathan's breath you lazy bitch, it's better than celestial fire spam anyway because it works on everything instead of a handful of bosses and actually works in raids/dungeons where you are competing for kills
>>
>>573145550
Oh wait, Harrow sorry my mind went into Sere.
There's no real timer in that last part, unless you're using one of the feats, i forget which one however.
>>
>>573145695
I see. Maybe the host activated one? Every time we got to the final area we would basically just get the game-over screen after like 20 seconds I think or something similar
>>
>>573145934
It's either that or Encounter Challenge, in which not stunning Harrow will result in a wipe
>>
>>573146205
That sounds likely. But the host would have to go out of his way to activate that right? It was weird because he had no clue why it was happening himself reading the in-game chat.

I think I'll just host the mission myself next time, that way I can avoid any shenanigans like this

If I just want to get T5 loot from Equilibrium, what is the most forgiving modifiers? I was thinking Limited revives per encounter, and Battalions that spawns powerful combatants during encounters.
>>
>>573148348
Phase limit if you and your team are capable of 2 phasing + battalions and tokens and you should be fine. It shits out t5s all over the place
>>
>>573148550
I see, I'm unsure about Phase-limit due to grouping up with randoms. Tokens + Battalions appears to be enough for T5. But will more modifiers reward even more loot?

>>573148694
I think so

Argos is pretty fast and easy to start
Gahlran is easy but takes a decent amount of time to start
Calus is pretty easy and you can possibly 1 phase depending on damage buff and ammo generated
Insurrection still easy to do but might take a bit to get the ball rolling
Seems like Argos will be your best bet cause all you are really doing is charging craniums and starting dps

Xbox layoffs have begun
>Large layoffs and restructuring: about 3,200 roles reduced in FY27, including 1,600 immediately, plus several studios being spun out or transferred to new ownership.
Studio changes:
>Compulsion Games and Double Fine become independent with their IP.
>Ninja Theory and Undead Labs move to new ownership structures with funding support.
>Arkane begins review of strategic options.
>Some reductions and reallocation of investment across Activision Blizzard, Bethesda/ZeniMax, Mojang, and others.
>No announced first-party games are cancelled.
Business performance concerns:
>Xbox margins significantly lower than comparable companies.
>Game Pass and multi-platform strategy did not grow as expected.
>Rising costs and weaker hardware market have hurt the core business.
Portfolio strategy shift:
>Less emphasis on owning many studios.
>More focus on helping independent creators and reducing internal investment inefficiencies.
Organizational simplification:
>Fewer management layers (currently goes as high as 14 fucking layers in some places; target max 5, ideally 3).
>Flatter structure with clearer ownership roles.
>Reduced vendor spend and simpler tech stack.
Operating model overhaul:
>Creation of a new COO role with unified control over content, hardware, platform, and services.
>Mojang and King now report directly to leadership due to their scale and importance.
Leadership change:
>Long-time executive Dave McCarthy is retiring.
Overall message:
>Xbox is aiming to “reset” into a more efficient, focused, and profitable organization, with the goal of returning to growth by 2027 and positioning for long-term expansion in gaming.

I mean Hunters right now basically got a ton of help and the gap has severely shrunk down with the stuff that's viable and can self sustain. The biggest issue for years was Hunters had a handful of very good things but it was at the expense of swaps, APM heavy shit, or something you basically needed to throw off all survivability just to do tons of damage. The fact how some of the Aspects are less retarded now specifically Voids is something that should've happened 100 years ago. I think Bungie was just so caught up on these very specific tryhard speedrunner hunter builds and assumed that everybody was doing it so it just left so much locked in being a bit blegh .

The game just doesn't really do anything to make people build semi properly. Strikes are falling asleep tier, patrol too. And then you turn around with things beings like 5 steps above that.

That hugely depends on your ability to withstand terrible writing (best to ignore it altogether), absolutely zero context for anything because (You) were not there and it's gone, drooling retards in matchmade content and even more drooling retards in content that is not matchmade but has people expecting others to do the heavy lifting for them. And or if you have friends willing to play the game and to do so for a while. Or are at least sociable enough/experienced enough in similar games as well as willing to drop that money knowing it might go to waste.
Also the onboarding experience is incredibly bad and the state of the game is questionable. The devs are even nerfing things out of spite it seems even if the game is dead.
Oh yeah and trying to get people here to join in is like pulling teeth half the time if not more. MMO btw.

I get what you are saying, but unironically they wouldn't even need to hold her/it accountable, it's a primordial force of death/Survival of the fittest, it's literally just doing what it was born to do. The Darkness could have been everything Savathun was supposed to be, but so much better. A seductive and loving force trying to make the Guardian inherit the mantle that is rightfully his as the strongest being in the setting. Did they move away from the idea that the Darkness/traveler are not inherently good/evil or something? They are just acting on the oldest instincts

i think the live team are mostly not even at Bethesda directly.

>>573196287
the problem most people have is that its incoherent, as the story doesn't really exist from the beginning any more. someone said its like jumping into a big TV show in season 5 or such, which is about right, probably even worse actually. plus the story telling that is there is mostly so shit i sometimes wanna rip out my own organs.
>>573196854
but i look at it this way, as a FPS campaign with buildcraft and MMO progression elements, it's fucking great, unmatched. and 100s of hours of content just playing all the campaigns, dungeons, various progression etc that you can do mostly solo.

so if you can bare anything so long as you put gameplay above as else, it's good. like i don't even wanna think about playing Lightfall again, as the narrative and characters make me vomit - but just in terms of encounter design and how cool Strand is, raw gameplay? you really won't get that volume of content and production anywhere else, and for so cheap now.

"Yikes sweetie, that's a hecking problematic stereotypical female gender role" or something like that. I'd say "that's a parody" but you and I know it isn't.
You could clearly see in the earlier Winnower dialogues (even the "you" in Shadowkeep that was retconned to TOTALLY be the Shitness) that your characterization was more in line with what was intended, but the writing staff changed dramatically around that time and we got unrepentant dogshit instead.
The issue with what you (and I and everyone else who wants good writing) want is that good writers aren't getting hired because of an institutional rot that prioritizes labels, "representation" and low cost over quality and being compelling.

> One of Destiny’s biggest ongoing issues is that its playerbase is skewing much older than everyone wants to see, which is worrisome to higher-ups. You want to attract a younger crowd and that was no longer happening, hence the desire for new projects like Marathon and Gummybears. And another reason as to why no Destiny 3.

Worst part is so much of the more recent Winnower shit(sake of argument dial to TFS and onward) basically felt like somebody trying to half ass redo what they wanted to do for the Shitness.

I think another side of it is youngins can't be asked to do anything remotely resembling buildcrafting, RPG like stuff with a little more moving parts to it. It's just not that popular, the sauce of RPGs is not their for youngins to come to organically, and when there's really no way to do more challenging demanding shit and you have to engage with it, it just doesn't click for getting into things. That at least is the takeaway of my young cousin making fun of me with my fag pointless numbers cover screen game. Same shit with just the general FPS experience, people want plug and play, jump in jump out, Destiny doesn't really have a ton of that with how unrewarding it felt for eons, it's a type of reward that's not universally enjoyed, and it can just feel mindless and tedious just playing PVE. PVP is just a tough sell. It's why I'm not surprised the kids or people with more than 2 brain cells and not paid off by Bungie didn't play Marathon

It's honestly impressive how pathetic nu-Bungie drove all the races (including Guardians) to become.
Cabal used to be a industrially impressive, warmongering race of fuckhuge monsters who ripped humanity a new asshole in a single day and wanted to conquer the universe.
Vex used to be an incomprehensible hivemind of super robots that always win no matter what and we're just fighting against the tide.
Fallen used to be a guerilla faction of aliens rejected by the Traveler and seethe constantly while trying to usurp and fuck over humanity in the process.
Hive used to be as scary as the Vex because Sword Logic basically gave them unlimited power and they had an intense connection to the Darkness that gave them equally unlimited potential.

Cabal are now a bunch of fat fucks who decided war is mean and stand around doing fuck all led by an equally useless and unimpressive leader
Vex, aside from being completely forgotten, are now split into like 7 retarded and pointless factions, the largest one being that they somehow became enslaved by some dead bitch
Fallen decided to just forgive the Traveler for fucking their entire species over and leech onto humanity like a parasite
Hive are still kind of OK to be fair except for the fact they completely mishandled Xivu Arath and are now basically a non-threat
>>

People glaze the fuck out of FS but being able to murder the witness, an actually hard raid, and going in the travelers ass carried the fuck out of the expansion.

No, Iron Banner or Control once IB ends. Comp is "technically" the best PvP way, but comp also sucks majorly even by Destiny PvP standards.
SRL is "fine" but you get 1 drop for every race that MIGHT be a power upgrade (and most definitely will NOT be armor, the droprate of armor from SRL is horrendous, I got all my triumphs done before getting a pair of the legs) if you either win or get the slot machine to spit one out
>like rerunning them
Like doing them the first time if you haven't, namely EoF and the STAR WARS one
If you've done all of that already, try Gambit if you have reward engrams because they apparently don't get consumed (so you always get 4-5 drops per match), or Lawless Frontier shit if you want those weapons as well.

>>573225474

I ran like 70 races to get the armor and only got that triumph after that

Hezen Vengeance from VoG is objectively one of the strongest DPS weapons in the game currently
If you can't do raids:
>Edge Transit (Onslaught) for a regular GL
>Hothead (Pinnacle Ops), Cynosure (Vanguard Ops) or Crux Celeritas IV (SRL) for a rocket
>Love and Death (moon pool) GL for that one servitor boss in Vesper's Host and nowhere else
>Falling Guillotine (Onslaught) or The Slammer (Vanguard) for swords
>Stormchaser (Duality), Mistral Lift (Dawning engrams in the tower), or one of the craftable "Adaptive Burst" LFRs
>Literally any machine gun with Fourth Time's the Charm or Reconstruction and a damage perk
Anything else is a sidegrade or downgrade, and I even mentioned a few sidegrades here for specific elemental requirements.

So I'm crafting an Acasia because my old adept version is kinda meh for the build I'm doing. Is Field Prep for the +30 ammo generation (49 to 79) good, or should I dump it into reconsutrction/clwon cartidge? For Reference my old adept was clown/frienzy, but now of course Chaos reshaped exists and the other perks on the Adept one are doodoo.

>>573227515
True, but they don't fit into a "can't do raids" list, and that post was nearly at the character limit so I had to cut something out.
Hell, even the seasonal craftable burst LFRs are worth going for if you can get patterns, none of them are bad.

*destroys your warmind cell before you can do anything with it*

>>573227617
to me you either put recon on it so you dont ever have to reload it or you put field prep on it because the ammo gen is more valuable than anything else in that column
i actually put recon on it for the calus skulls in pantheon, i will probably change it back to field prep

Yeah you know the age of the playerbase was trending upwards with not that much young intake because the game was a fucking jenga tower of seasonal fomo and paid DLC. A lot of people looked at the game on Steam, saw how much shit there was, and instantly bounced off. They were only seeing the paid DLC mind you... imagine the frustration seeing that they missed like 26 seasons.

And most of those players who bounced off literally said they would play a Destiny 3, but weren't going to touch Destiny 2.
>>
>>573227628
like it or not destiny's production value was just obscene. 50% of the game is walking loading screens between actual encounter areas, and they are these beautiful, liminal surreal areas with unique assets and layouts, unsettling soundscapes, concept art brought to life maybe sometimes they give some space for radio chatter, oftentimes you are just alone with the ambience for a while. you run through them without even giving it a thought because it's just annoying, you do this more than combat in a Strike for example. its impressive, and retarded.
point being they are not able(willing) to scale this game to meet lower business expectations, like old early 2000s MMOs that are still going, a couple of guys turning on and off seasonal events over the years and blowing dust out the server racks. division2 for example added an endless tower mode as a big update and it was like 5 room layouts repeated, with same enemies already in game. they didn't mind scaling down massively since the release and then expansion which i recall not doing so hot, at least to keep the game chugging along.
but for sony/MS, the structure is 14 layers of management and spending millions to make millions - or nothing.
at least, for now. it seems crazy there won't at least be some basic maintenance that can come back to D2 after the current AAA apocalypse shakes out.

it also fits my schizo conspiracy theory that games like marathon and concord were an intentional corporate effort to lower customer expectations and production costs into the ground, telling us these pathetic empty box teammatch games are the latest and greatest products worth hundreds of millions, and its simply not possible to have like, campaigns and uhh, programmed gameplay systems, like our old games. but of course no one buys it because even normie consumers are not that stupid.

One weekend, where the trials reward was summoner, and the map was dogshit for handcannons.

because the boss splits into multiple versions who all share the same health bar, a waveframe that can deal damage to multiple enemies at once is great. But its literally only useful in that one boss fight due to how unique it is.

Lmao are you mental, Graviton done in full completion was one of the most fucking boring things put in this game and salt in the wound of how bad EoF was. Just so much redundant backtracking and busy work, you pretty much were doing half the campaign over again, you had to progress Kepler to max level I believe so that's more of that bullshit. Yes ok I'll give some credit because muh puzzling shows up and there's one or two mini boss fights that can be a good challenge when soloing like the Minotaur or set of 3 Fallen guys, but it should've been split up and for completely separate exotics. The fact that you're playing just for catalyst shit was stupid and it could've been made way more interesting if there was something else in the picture.

I think Marathon 2026 will go down as one of a number of examples where a company thinks they could just vibes their way into something bigger. I've autistically gone through way too much materials from way way back, more recent etc, somebody at Bungie even before they had to do major revisions really thought this was going to be this supplemental cash cow, pressure release valve for PVP interested people who wanted to play something new, and that there would be enough people to sustain things, and it just didn't even get close. Even just aspects of how Marathon is set up with economy stuff, there must've been a larger anticipation of more people playing so there would be theoretically more loot spread around on people naturally defeating one another, of course this didn't happen and it is kind of K shaped..

I also think one of the most validating things to come across are the people who called outthe entirety of that limey herpes sore Roflwaffles how all of a sudden he's playing Destiny with Cross, Datto, Byf, that group and how those guys were on the ropes with Destiny sucking so they needed that cross promo asap for mutual benefit. On top of that he knew that new CoD was going to suck and that he'd play along with hyping Marathon. It's just so fucking ridiculous how fake all of this shit is especially when you can just go to one of Roflwaffles business sites and how he pretty spells out he's a shill for hire. I normally am pessimistic about the state of gaming and I'm obviously not saying things are good but I think we did reach a point where a lot of these companies have their pants down shitting themselves and even dumb people aren't taking the bait and could bullshit on how something is shilled. Mr Peanuts probably got a nice cheque and of course dopes thought that it'd mean the game was going to be some big deal.

I can never understand why they do this instead of just bringing over a couple of the numerous UI devs they just laid off from Destiny. It's the same engine so you cut out on-boarding and training, they're already in the system and have done all the required data privacy, HR, harassment etc. training so you're saving 10s of thousands of dollars immediately. I guess they're just looking for some H1jeet to do it for pennies knowing the game is going to fail anyways so delivery doesn't actually matter

Because they want a younger audience and the younger audience vehemently hates how all the games they play are "destiny ui's" where a thumbstick moves a circle around like a slow virtual mouse.

but realistically, you want to be using lightweight/precision frames for whatever element you need to break shields for the most.
fortunate star can get the repuslor/destabilizing rounds combo which is pretty okay and you can just throw tokens at engrams at the tent of bravery to get it fairly easily.
the vow if you have it in collections(no idea if it's actually available literally anywhere anymore otherwise) was oddly really good. it's been ages but I think I remember it having really weirdly good arrow magnetism to crit spots. tyranny of heaven is craftable but you'll have a hell of a time getting those unless you farmed morgeth on titan when you could.

Yeah if your talking about the white rim its kinda annoying because of how the armor colours differently compared to the rest of the armor. If your talking about the visor also understandable.

Which I think speaks more about the whole "no company can do a Destiny clone and live to tell the tale" , Bungie's biggest advantage was context of when they released Destiny, what else existed, average consumer was way less informed, and it was way easier in 2014 to sell this impossibly ever growing game that can do-all, be-all. Now? we know way too much and you can't ride things on magic. It goes back to what that anon posted with that article from Tassi fro 2 years ago, internal memo says Destiny's pop was too old, young people have no concept of Bungie's notoriety or even Halo

Destiny 2 grew the studio to 1600 employees, funded marathon and 5+ other projects, built a massive office in one of the highest cost of living areas in the US and laid the groundwork for another one overseas. Saying D2 was not profitable is insane, the only reason Bungie were ever "weeks away from shutting down" is because they spent all the money D2 made on random shit instead of growing the game and making it better

retard. It's also incredibly funny how the mention that they just had to pump out the same re-colored slop modes time and time again, and pretending that it was actual content. No mention of all the actual content they kept removing

Destiny 2 is probably the most mismanaged franchise I have ever seen. Even the most brain-rotted fortnight player could have steered this ship towards safer waters compared to the fuckheads who where in charge

You don't get to pretend that the years following Forsaken didn't have players endlessly bitching about how they used to get more content in Forsaken(content that was produced at a loss on Activision's dime), bitching that went into overdrive when that GDQ talk was posted online and people lost thier FUCKING minds about Creating Patterns and Overdelivery

>>573268597
You don't get to pretend that D2 didn't launch in the state it did, and was then followed up by COO. Players never actually expected that much content to begin with, Forsaken was an apology made by two other studios, and was considered an return to form. Players bitching about *content* are bitching about every season launching literally the same recycled and re-colored game-mode and pretending that it was actually new. Players where bitching about the game turning into 99% FOMO-SLOP

Had they improved on the Sandbox, and kept activities in the patrol-zones and strikes meaningful, most people would be able to wait a long ass time for some new actual content. Instead they decided to repeatably remove content from the game, and not adding any real replacements instead.

Anon, most of this could have been avoided if they updated and used the shit they kept vaulting, but no, they were rock hard at the idea that they needed to rebuild the whole fucking game year over year, and now they blame that on the customers?!? They can fuck all the way off with that bullshit. The first thing people did after sunsetting was ask for the old shit back. Even now dudes are like, "Man, I wish I could go play The Nether." They bring this shit on themselves. When they stumbled with EOF they were never going to recover because there was nothing else in the game for people to fall back on. I've been here since Warmind, and I assure you every major fuck-up this game/company has run into has been self-inflicted. All of them.

Retards rag on this but the mog is very good.
Fix your fucking helmet shader, the white stands out like a sore thumb. 8/10 if fixed.
>>573259815
7/10 for uniqueness. Could be like a 9/10 if you really put some work into it, it's mostly just the shader doing heavy lifting.
>>573259903
Needs work. Still decent. 6/10
>>573260328
Tentative 7. I don't think the legs/armor/helm are from the same set but if they are then points off. Nice.
>>573261634
Helmet and arms don't fit at all. The shader choice is an actual 10/10 that makes a shit outfit look somewhat good. Still shit tho
>>573262423
Very fundamentally solid. Hard to rate.
Something about it is just kind of odd though. Maybe it's the fuckhuge black armory belt buckle throwing me off.
If you could somehow find a shader for the arms that matches the lower robe better I think it'd help. (Impossible because NABA shader has that unique effect).
Still inclined to give it like a 7 or 8
>>573263893
Very solid but boring. 6. It's clean but you're NPC-maxxing and look generic
>>573267738
You're obsessed with these legs for some reason. They make your guardian look like she has gigantic fatass granny hips. Which you probably love because you're a gooner, but they look really bad. Both left and middle could benefit extremely from slimmer, sleeker legs that match the top halves.

Middle is a 0/10 because you're using one of the most popular titan helms with monochrome or whatever
Left is great from the waist up. Really nice shader highlighting. Negative points for helmet, but i'd be willing to look past it if you fix the legs.
Right is easily the most unique and interesting, but again the fucking helmet (which ironically is the best use of it out of these).

I see your point, but it's really hard finding some gloves that fit. And I just love that helmet, It's been hard finding one with the right proportions that doesn't look to small or to big.

This is a picture where I used another helmet + Shader. I always preferred my Warlock looking like an armored combat-scholar

Well if I do use the same shader (which is what it looks like in pic related) the white rim will stand out on the helmet compared to the armor because the way they make shaders work is based off the texture of the armor. The texture on the helmet rim is a different texture compared to the chest gauntlets and boots. Tbqh im probably just gonna find a good helmet replacement if I can because the shader choices to try and fix that problem has been a problem for me

Fuck yes, the entire gaming/entertainment/tech industry underwent massive, reckless expansion during covid lockdowns - After all, past performance guarantees future results, and interest rates were practically 0% so you would have to be a colossal retard not to dump everything you had into it under the understanding that exponential corporate growth is real and can just keep going forever. Cut to today with soaring hardware prices and inflation driving interest rates way back up and the bill for all that money dumping and can-kicking is finally catching up with them. But the really cool part is all the exec MBAs and c-suites already got their bag, so it's only the actual workers getting fucked, and who cares about them, they're not real people and AI is replacing them anyway.

>>573270880
The helmet itself is fine. But you need to contrast or match the big purple gem in the face. Calus/Leviathan/Virtuous arms/bonds probably have some big fat rock or something you can shade to match.
Pixeltouch gloves have that sort of futuristic techno vibe, which doesn't fit at all, or in the updated fit either. Also, they get a really nice glow effect if you wear an exotic helmet which you're not benefitting from.

There are parts that match but the whole doesn't. The helmet matches the chest, and the chest matches the legs, but the legs and helmet don't match, and the gloves are out of place. Also the bond is boring as fuck.

Because they're patched together, beat up and shoddy. I like the idea of a Guardian who's gear is heavily modified after years and years of combat experience and seeing what works/what doesn't.
>Negative points for helmet
I like the helmet because I'm autistic and in my head my titan is something akin to a rescue ranger, and mainly concerns herself with protecting human lives during natural disasters. In my mind I imagine the visor thing flipping down and letting her scan for heat signatures during a massive avalanche at one of the non-city human villages.

yes, 2 people connect the cube in the middle to the pylon and while they were doing that everyone would shoot their cube and stand next to it
once middle tether is completed everyone gets buff

Correct, also no company is getting to launch something with no ingame LFG or no comms and expecting success. It's an anomaly that people put up with it in Destiny for as long as it was a thing. You can't get a self segregation from the main populace when you want to explore of the game

Money and constantly shifting the goal posts of valuation of content. Forsaken had the Annual Pass which you could only buy all at once $35, and for what came with it, a deal of sorts so when they did the model in Shadowkeep they release it with Dungeon+Raid and then there was no raid or dungeons until Prophecy kind of just came out of nowhere at Arrivals launch. Though I have seen a lot of conversation that they were actually going to paywall Prophecy. Anyway there's dozens of examples but the entire thing really was to make money, fuck with expectations, and they could also buy themselves dev time when knowing there would be a dump season in the rotation. Season of Worthy was the biggest piece of shit season, it was entirely pointless, Chosen even rehashed a good deal of its Cabal lore, but when you realize a lot of it existed just so they could move people to Beyond Light and go full steam ahead, it makes a lot of sense.

>what's special
What the other anon said, that boss splits into many so you can hit it multiple times. Each also counts as an independent entity for One for All, which is a 35% damage boost (Bait and Switch is 30%). The Neomuna wave GL (Dimensional Hypotrochoid) is craftable and has One for All, it's therefore technically better for this role. The Guardian Games one also has OfA, from tower engrams for GG.
>damage feels pretty low
Rockets are usually used in damage rotations with other weapons. Envious Arsenal/Bait and Switch is the obvious pairing.
You shoot your special (GL or fusion), then shoot once with your primary, then shoot rocket, then instantly back to GL and repeat.
>I feel like there were
In Y1, all specials were power weapons, so yes. There hasn't been a heavy legendary sniper since Forsaken made them all special until the STAR WARS one though. You might be thinking of DARCI because of how "not really an exotic" it was for 95% of the game's lifetime.

>>573281112
Y1 was double primary and a heavy slot.
The only current specials that weren't heavies were trace rifles, and only Coldheart was in the game on day 1. Coldheart was DPS meta for day 1 Leviathan with Curtain Call (Y1 Vanguard rocket with cluster bomb) as the heavy. The PvP meta was MIDA and Uriel's Gift (450 auto rifle) with every engagement being 4 people (all modes were 4v4 except for Rumble) team-shotting.
This made a LOT of weapons absolutely worthless (tube GLs were DoA, shotguns and snipers were PvP only and weren't even popular there vs. drum GLs), and is a big part of why the game nearly died.

Left is on the verge of being a clownsuit and I find it odd you've posted it multiple times as if prideful
3/10
Right is actually somewhat interesting for an all white
6/10 at least it's not superblack
>>573280424
Left isn't bad. A little boring though I get what you're going for. 6/10
Middle is quite good. I see the vision with the gloves and shoulders but ultimately they could be better. Boots are meh. You can't see any legs with the big robe so you need something with better standout feet
Easily could be a 9/10 if you change the gloves to be a little more plate armor-y like the helmet, and change the boots to be more raggedy but unique. Maybe even free boots of the houseless would work
Right is on the verge of greatness. It's a shame about the gem on the calus shoulders but it's honestly completely dismissable, it works so well.
I think it literally works completely fine as is. It's a 7/10, maybe an 8.
It's hard to give notes because everything works so well for what you're going for

If you use Hazardous Propulsion while Turncoat's buff is active, the rockets deal about as much damage as an unbuffed thundercrash
>>

As a turncoat enjoyer ill try it out

While turncoat is active (normal carl) damage goes from 3200 to fucking 9000 while turncoat is active just from using your class ability

On the Warlock? Rasmussen Clan from the African American Armory. It has that animated black pattern that looks olive drab in certain lighting.

The issue with vanguard reps is definitely the cipher to engram ratio.
Every strike I clear now has me leaving vanguard ciphers and ascendant alloys. Would have been sick if we could convert the latter to prisms.

Voidlock so I went with some purple shading.
I just finally got the whole warlord set so I wanted to use it, definitely down to change the greaves and gloves, at least.
>>
>>573282448
>and I find it odd you've posted it multiple times as if prideful
It has nothing to do with pride it's just what I'm playing at the moment. As long as it vaguely fits an idea I had while putting it together in a hurry it's fine with me and getting best dressed while wearing it is fucking hilarious to me as well no matter the intent.
>>
>>573287459
ok tried it myself
basic strike is 100 instead of 40
so its over double
im pretty sure it used to be even higher but whatever

I was told after resetting the rank there are more engrams. Don't know if it's true but I suppose this way I'll find out a bit quicker.

goddammit
please don't kill my favorite titan exotic bungie

>>573288478
It used to multiply based on your activity streak
You could get 500 rep per completion if you played enough strikes back-to-back
100 activities for each reset (when everyone I know who came back for MoT has reset Hawthorne multiple times in that same timespan) is retarded at best and downright malicious at worst (because Zavala rep gives engrams for his focusing).

I'm using it for a ridiculous aoe clear role where I have 200 melee so my rape fingers are online all the time, making my turncoat volatile every time it releases its latent power too. It's super fun.
Also let's get this reviewed instead.
My favorite detail is the shader for the bond makes it look like the knife on the bond has blood stains on the handle

Seriously, where is the red in the shader?
>>
>>573288962
Looking at Turncoat it increases rocket damage and micro missile damage, presumably because it itself fires explosive payload during empowerment.
Hazardous Propulsion does it too so my guess is they multiply each other.
Or Titandev sneaked that one in because he knows nobody at Bungie will playtest it.

man if I knew that they'd completely FUCK the dungeon rotations up like this I would've put more effort into trying to farm shattered throne when it was up.
I still don't even understand why they rotate like they do, anyway. It's so fucking stupid just let dungeons drop rank 5 armor all the fucking time why rotate them why do this shit
>>
>>573290371
>why they rotate like they do
To concentrate the LFG population, that's the entire reason.
>>
>>573290371
It'd be fine if they went for 3 featured, I think. Issue is we ended at 11 dungeons, a god damn prime number, so no one can win.
Theoretically I'd just repeat Equilibirum once since it's the newest.

I think the only reason that Sony didn't nuke the entirety of Bungie from orbit, is because Bungie utterly refused to use UE5 for Maraflop. And in doing so, accidentally prevented Sony from replacing them with an army of vibecoding indians.
