So i explored the map and found the shootables I thought I'd find on my own and found a guide online. Now I'm at 43/45, and I'm unsure of which one I've missed. I know one of them is a javelin shootable that I just have to wait for an event to happen around.
The other, I'm not sure. The headache is knowing which one in the guide as I was going through that I just missed it, aside from the ones that I actually already just had.
But that was enough to get the exotic sword. I haven't tried it out but it looks pretty cool and the traits are neat?
on pc the pvp has the worst feeling of any shooter ive played in the last 10 years
the game has nearly zero hit response from enemies, the worst implementation of networking and generally awful floaty movement for a pvp game
it just isnt really fit for purpose - it is faintly astonishing they havent considered dedicated servers?
They have considered - and rejected - pure dedicated servers. They have a weird hybrid model where things like physics are calculated on a dedicated server but other things are done on a p2p basis. D1 didn’t have the dedicated physics host part of the solution but they did do a talk at GDC about how they chose what they did.
However, the thing they don’t mention is that at half a billion dollars to develop and barely bettering that in revenue a pure dedicated server model would have tipped that scale.

As far as I can tell Bungie is basically running the same networking solution that they developed initially for Halo 2 and it is really frustrating.
They aren’t, hence the lack of rubber banding during coop and the fact that host migrations are entirely transparent to the player despite occurring approximately every 160 seconds on average.

I didn't get more than one for like 4 days straight and now I can't get rid of them fast enough.
I think I have one or two of those but I'll have to check, I used two already for the other two that exist. I just didn't want to cause a headache for the rest of the server for me to get one little thing.
It's possible that the one i'm missing is on that huge bridge area thing but I can't tell, ugh I'll have to look again
Hey guys! Haven't logged into Destiny in a while. Never got around to doing Raid Lair 1. Logged in yesterday and got my character to 340 and started doing the new campaign. The new Raid Lair looks like it's super challenging. Hopefully I can find some of the old crew.

ye i saw the gdc talk ages ago
i dont mean generically - i understand why they do what they do for pve which works fine - but for pvp the p2p model adds so much disgusting jank. given how much people enjoy pvp i think it would have been worth the effort to go for dedicated specifically for that, although i suppose its possible they stuck the p2p model so deep into the engine that its impossible to disentangle
I could be a warm body in a Trials group if y'all are in dire need of a last team member.
There's no radar now right? That could be interesting.

As far as I know you can still get the Season 2 ornaments, so that's something at least.
Is the S2 progress still being counted?
If so, does anyone wanna smash through some Trials on Xbox tonight so I can complete 2 Trials challenges?
If the group needs one more later tonight I volunteer as victim
Well, it's hard to find any real confirmation, but it's looking like you can't actually get the S2 ornaments anymore, which was my main motivation
but if in fact you three gentlemen are online tonight, it would still be fun to shoot mans and cuss at each other and maybe get a new gun or something

I dunno, I was having a lot more fun in Heroic Strikes last night now that they require paying attention and not just sprinting past 80% of the enemies to get to the boss. I dunno if I'd do them ad infinitum but that's more an issue with rewards than the content itself.

I did have fun doing strikes last night with the melee instakills
We got through the 5 strikes I needed for Ikelos pretty easily, only wipe a couple times through the whole thing. The only strike we nope'd out of at the beginning was Exodus Down

I've been playing Mario Odyssey a lot lately and one of my favorite things about that game is that each collectible has its own number. It makes it infinitely easier to hunt down the last one or two you're missing when you know specifically what they are (or how to google them).

Remember how the S2 Raid ornaments weren't actually possible to get and they never patched that? They're just straight up removed in S3. Are they embarrassed about that? I sure would be if I was them...

but some of the modifiers are still shit regardless
So far progression without Coo levels is pretty tough, I died like 5 times on the opening mission because I was 20LL short of the recommended light. I also find it funny items drop at my LL around 305 but I can't put them on because I was lvl21 yet.
Mars patrol zone is neat but stinks to be locked out of so much to start. Story is the same old safe, boring stuff where papa Zavala gets mad you played with his toys and then lets you do it anyway. I guess I'm going into PvP now, haven't played since the gotta go fast update so we'll see how it goes.

The EoW ornaments were supposed to come from Prestige EoW and has yellowish holographic light stuff, like the Prestige Leviathan armor has the purple lights
The SoS armor is basically the EoW armor with some new bits stuck on here and there (a retool one could say), it doesn't have the yellow lighting. Does the SoS armor have ornaments now? If so I haven't seen it

i realized halfway through making my joke that i was transposing prestige and ornaments in my head but i just ran with it
I queued up yesterday despite being 346 and the presence of the melee instakill mod because I wanted to work on something even if it was frustrating.
Sat in the queue for a while and then it put me into one of the CoO strikes alone. So I guess avoiding that queue (at least on melee instakill day) is pretty common.
I like the idea of mods for the strikes playlist because it gives me an incentive to play a different way from my norm. If it's a particular burn I can swap out some gear that normally collects dust and try it out because it fits what I'm trying to do/avoid. I never use the exotic warlock wing armor, for example, but I'll dust that shit off and put it on for an Airborne modifier.
That said, some of the mods are just "fuck you, I hope you like hard because it's harder now, period" like Trickle, Glass, and Blackout. Those aren't interesting. As optional things to give you more points they're pretty cool, conceptually, but as across-the-board things that make some strikes just punishingly, stupidly difficult I feel like they're missing the mark.

the end boss fight is 99% melee adds and melees instakill you and you can't see them coming
is a stupid thing
but like other modifiers can be fun and interesting
i went for a quick run around finding shootables but only found 3-4. I found a lot more of those locked prisms that need override codes. I want to know their mystery too!
