Hey everyone! Awsimo invited me to join the clan, so here I am to introduce myself. I look forward to playing with you guys. I’ll be the one who’s objectively terrible at jumping puzzles.
Raid lead in the pleasure gardens: "Take your dog to about half, but don't kill and we'll do in two cycles."
Me: Drop two pulse grenades and then tenderize it to 5-10% with shotgun: "BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!"
I opened two engrams yesterday, a legendary and an exotic
two fucking dire ahamkara spines
Wait, so a regular legendary engram can still drop exotics?
Yep, I’ve had it happen a few times once for Sweet Business and the other for a Vigilance Wing
Someone out there is going to want to murder you over your loot luck. I just want you to know.
Haha, that’s where my luck ends. I feel like my luck has been weapons heavy. I have hardly any exotic armor pieces.
Meanwhile, I've gotten a single unique exotic weapon out of engrams. The rest of mine have all been armor, with like two of those being ones I ever wanted. Eventually our luck has to break, right?
I’ve heard this split of luck from others as well. Gotta wonder if there’s a starting character roll that’s sticking.
It really bothers me that they put in all of these awesome armor sets so I could play dress-up with the rest of the world, but they gave the class items different names. I have been able to figure out which bond goes with which set some of the time by reading the flavor text, but I can't find the one that goes with High-minded Complex at all. Why isn't it just the High-minded Bond?!
Like our team got to calus on Tuesday. Is that tied to the raid leader or do each of us have that checkpoint that we can separately use or do each of us have that checkpoint but if they use it without me then I would only zone in to see nothing?
And can I go into a fresh instance?
I would love to finish this with y'all, but have hesitated to set up another because I probably can't kick my wife off the TV before 9:30 central or so more than once a week. If everyone could start slightly later and knock out calus, I'd love to finish it.

Ok so Dunemarchers are pretty ok if you want to run marginally faster and slide way farther (this is a thing that is relevant to my interests) but it's hard for me to justify using them over an exotic that's got a tangible benefit like the Actium War Rig or Doom Fang or Synthoceps (if I ever get them, praise RNGesus, giver and destroyer of hope).
Dudemarchers are the best in The Gauntlet since you go a little faster, are constantly glowing, and outrun the pack that is your fireteam so you can emote while they scramble not to explode.

So I have the Stompees and of course the perk says it improves Double Jump so I did a little testing and they do not seem to affect Triple Jump, slightly boost Double Jump w/ strafe, and significantly boost Double Jump with greater height

So, I'm back from the soul-crushing hell that is Phoenix, AZ. I have no idea how humans actually live there. My Lovely Wife is away for a week-and-a-half visiting her family in NOLA so I'm playing Destiny 2 between working on deferred maintenance tasks around the house.
I'm up to PL270 now thanks to a few exotic drops. Post-265, exotics seem to be about a 10% drop chance (at least for me).
Up til now I've been a Pulse Rifle kind of guy. Tapping the trigger has always kind of just "felt" right to me, and pulse rifles really respond well to that. But one of my new exotics is a (270) Hard Light so I tried that out. Partially because it's Solar (and I'm running Sunbreaker because another of my exotics is a (278) Hallowfire Heart) and partially because of all of the gun discussions lately have shown that pulse rifles really aren't in a good place right now. I was pleasantly surprised to find that auto rifles work just fine for me. I can still tap-tap-tappity-tap the trigger like I normally want to and the gun performs just fine. Or, alternately, I can hold down the trigger for an unending stream of death. With a clip size of 49, it seems to never run dry. (Probably because I've been trained to habitually reload after nearly every kill because of the anemic clip size of pulse rifles.) I might need to upgrade my Actium War Rig and see just how far that clip can go!!
The Hard Light is taking some getting used. The visual clutter of the bullets "bouncing" even when I'm hitting is really difficult for me to see through so I end up hesitating and re-aiming even when I'm on-target.
I finished the Flashpoint quickly. I'm not a fan of Titan, so I skipped buying Cayde's treasure map. I'll likely regret that later. Somehow I ended up with a Lost Pacific mark and chest. The mark is 275 but it looks so so ugly!
I ran Ikora's "meditations" and was unhappy to find that "Fury" the first one for this week is the same mission that gave me so many problems in the campaign. I managed to blunder my way through it a bit better this time, mostly because I found a better place to hide. It still took far too long. The final one "Payback" (the tank level) was just as stupid the second time through as it was the first. I'm not sure that I'll prioritize doing Ikora's missions from now on because they seem to me to be a poor time investment overall. Besides, if I ever want to level up an alt, I'm going to have to play the campaign anyway, and running three missions AGAIN every week is going to get old real fast.
I was awarded Arms of Optimacy from a Bright Engram. Probably my favorite armor so far! They unpackaged at PL10, same as the "buggy" Clan rewards, but it really didn't matter since I immediately infused it to the highest PL I could go. I'm hopeful that I'll see more of this armor, because I really like the look!
As expected, all of my rewards outside of the "powerful" ones and exotic engrams seem to be capped at 265. I'm sitting on 62 weapon parts for the gunsmith until I get over the 270 hump.
Excess gear is quickly becoming an issue. At the end of the night I opened a (274) Vigilance Wing and a (265) Lincoln Green, both pulse rifles that I had previously been lusting after, but now that I've tried autos I'm note sure I want to go back. I also got a (282) Sweet Business which would replace my (270) Nameless Midnight, but then I'd have to find a legendary scout rifle for my energy slot. and I don't really have anything that would fit there (yet?).
I still need to work on the Strum/Drang quest. I think that'll be my goal for tonight.

I hope Xur has Nezarec this week, that thing continues to elude me.

I liked how when we finally had the strategy down to doing 2 cycles, we all accidentally killed our assigned dog in one cycle and completed the encounter right there.
I have run enough strikes to complete a Strikes milestone each of the first two weeks and am on track to do the same this week.
I have seen Inverted Spire once. I have never been in the Pyramidion. I can tell you based on the comms chatter in a run of Savathun's Song which "set" of comms chatter we have for this run.

Right, the High Jump boosts only work with the basic double jump. You will kill yourself at times. They are my favorite exotic in this game. I just wish they didn't use the fake ninja boots model.

There's a weekly strikes milestone? The only thing I remember seeing was the run 2 strikes quest you get after unlocking them in the director.

I think I missed the conversation earlier, but Ikora's Meditations can be done on alt characters, but then you can turn in the tokens on your main. The same is true for the raid tokens. (Or any tokens, really, since inventory is shared across characters)

There sure is a lot of Savathûn related stuff in the game world, yet none having to do with Xivu Arath.
I guess its a decent chance that one of the DLC will focus on her.
It could depend on where/what Osiris has been up to. I'm hoping the Rasputin one is more about the warminds and not really about the existing races.
I meant more, like in the DLC that will show up after the first two, maybe a Taken King sized expansion focusing on Savathûn? (it could also tell us what happened to Eris)
Wouldnt mind if the Warmind DLC is about Charlemagne, but it sounds like they may have cut him from the lore?
I remember some story mission, I think its Ikora that says "There is only one Warmind."
It could also just be because Ikora simply doesnt know, I guess.
The two major story hooks post release we have is Osiris and the vex, and Savathûn and the hive, with a side smaller recipe of "someone or something is controlling the taken..."

I think he was on Mars, yeah. But wasn't there a mission in year 1 when you get to Mars and it looks like Rasputin spread there? I get the feeling Rasputin basically took over all the warminds. Then again, I could be misremembering as well.

Yeah, with that mission that has the awesome soundtrack. I can see the Rasputin warmind DLC being about him finally...
... detecting whatever woke up at the end of the story. Then seeing the traveler is vulnerable and finishing what he started to make them go back to sleep. We have to fight off the warmind and the constructs and other weapons he can generate. That'd be cool! Though I guess it would look/feel a bit too much like SIVA.
The two major story hooks post release we have is Osiris and the vex, and Savathûn and the hive, with a side smaller recipe of "someone or something is controlling the taken..."
I'm expecting whatever Savathun-focused DLC we get will have Savathun duking it out with Quira, Blade Transform for control of the Taken in the region. Savathun gets a whole strike but some of the adventures have clear evidence that Quira has regenerated and is controlling at least some of the Taken.
I'm very confused about Rasputin and the Warminds. There's Ikora's line about there being only one warmind (despite the bunker you go to on Io being clearly labeled for some other warmind) and then I recently started a Hunter and the Gunslinger unlock mission has a bunch of lines from Cayde about nobody knowing where Rasputin is (and apparently some people think Cayde is Rasputin? That would be weird). For some reason I thought Rasputin's core was known to be in the Cosmodrome on Earth?

It is. That's where every mission about you protecting him or whatever sends you.

Oh, you like this design? Armor doesnt have the abilities you want - and since random perks are gone, you'll never get the one you want with the looks you want.
