    Think you just need to masterwork one piece

    ...wow, I'm batting a zero tonight. You're right, its just obtain them all, and a single masterwork. Which will be an instant pop of the triumph if you've already reset your valor this season

    I would imagine we should expect a valor multiplier week(end) sometime before the moon?

    I think we are getting at least one more Iron Banner before the end of Solstice? and it would likely coincide with that

    I just looked at a chalice rune combo chart and I'm confused about the armor.

    It looks like there's two Opulence armor sets? What?

    And why are there combos for the Dreaming City set and then a random Forsaken set?

    EDIT: Oh, one is a Y2 version of the Nessus gear. Meh.

    EDIT: Oh, one is a Y2 version of the Nessus gear. Meh.

    There are 4 total sets because the Chalice has to be 4xN due to the way the rune slotting works

    The Nessus set is there because it gives you a opulence mod slot (for crown of sorrow/leviathan mods) without requiring blue runes to be unlocked. The forsaken set and the dreaming city sets don't have those slots.

  • DevoutlyApatheticDevoutlyApathetic Registered User regular
    The idea was that the runes are slotting for what "kind" of armor you want, like light/recovery/heavy but that's pretty clearly bullshit once folks figured out what runes produce what.

    Also I'm looking at these stupid green requirements and looking back fondly on like a month ago when we were complaining about 25 strikes requirement.

    Is there a good Discord or other similar pick up group

    Yeah, tell me about it. Hopefully now that the devs have publicly embraced the 'MMORPG' tag, they'll work in a proper LFG system for NFs and Raids.

    Given the very low level of communication in this game, especially on console, compared to the coordination required and the way the NF works work difficulty settings and such, I don't see that happening.

    After @ronzo gave my competitive score a big boost, I’ve decided to try and go for the recluse.

    Now that I’m pretty close I’ve started backing out to avoid 4 stacks, and it’s been pretty effective.

    It’s frustrating tho that the best strategy is to only play 3 games a week to maximize the impact of the weekly boost

    If there were in-game support for external voice chat, or if the in-game voice chat were not hot garbage, I could see it working. As it is you'd have to spend the first 5 minutes of every game friend-requesting people to add them to voice parties, inevitably with some people lacking mic's or working audio.

    The Xbox Live-level LFG incorporates Party Chat, no friending required. It's actually a pretty well implemented system, Bungie should take notes

    Oh hey maybe with the extra time I'd actually have a chance to finish the damn Notorious Armor triumph seeing as balancing all the different Destiny grinds just got way harder with Solstice.

    FOMO is real and I shouldn't have that reaction, but I do, so there it is.

    I'm glad they could take the time that they feel they need. And I'm strangely excited now to read a Luke Smith diatribe next week.

    Not as far as they've said. One interview mentioned that it came up but there wasn't time or something to that effect. Basically no plans but it's been floated was a potential idea.

    I'm glad they are taking the time they need but that date couldn't be worse for poor me. Bumped right onto my daughters birthday and the rest of that week my lab is enduring an audit so I'm going to be unable to take any days off...

    Bright side is now I have 3 extra weeks to try and get a recluse.

    It's TWAB TIME https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/48036

    New roadmap:
    Calendar_EN.jpg?cv=3983621215&av=3383129829

    Next patch preview:
    • Moments of Triumph has been extended through 9/17.
    • Gambit Prime and Reckoning weapon reward rates will be highly increased.
    • They will also have bad-luck protection to guarantee a drop after a set amount of runs.
    • Reckoning difficulty will be tuned to be more welcoming as you hunt for rewards.
    • BrayTech Schematics will no longer have a daily lockout and will give better chances toward weapons that players do not own.
    • Mountaintop and Wendigo GL3 pinnacle quests will become more accessible.
    • Specific quest objectives will be tuned based on player feedback
    • There will be multiple weeks of increased Valor and Infamy to look forward to in September.
    • Iron Banner will be accompanied by increased Valor in each event.
    • As the season comes to a close, Menagerie chests will become more rewarding as Calus sees fit.
    • On the week of Destiny 2 Update 2.5.2.2, we'll be hosting a Community Challenge of sorts. Stay tuned for more details.

    @Elki

    so other night i finished main Forsaken campaign and got the message from the Robot/Calus in the tower where he gives you those two pieces of 690 gear

    then i went in, equipped the 690 cloak, then realized 'oh i've got a bunch of blues to trash' so i trashed all my old gear, then when i was done thought 'oh yeah what was i doing, oh thats right the 690 blue i just got....'

    so yeah i trashed one of my 690 pieces seconds after getting it

    You can lock items to prevent dismantling them. Click in the right stick when inspecting the item or when hovering over it in your inventory. You can also lock/unlock them using apps like DIM or the Destiny Companion

    The answer is yes. @Element Brian it should be pretty easy to get 700 armor in about 5 minutes if you do the quest from Eva (she’s smack dab in the middle of the tower).

    It’s green armor, do not delete it.

    Guardians ever eager to make armor of some garbage bags and fiberglass insulation they found under a pile of old paint cans in storage shed. Seems like that will protect you from the hive!

    10 gambit matches and I have the damn warlock armor. Mentioned the engineers that accompany the three Cabal bosses count towards the 100, so the two randoms with me decided to hunker down and talk about TV and such while we killed about 40, 50+ of them. Was nice to get that all done in one go.

    Hell yeah Jay.

    After getting a taste of the Solstice event, I don't think I care at all and I'm going to bring my Hunter up to level instead of playing it.

    Also this is world class trolling, which I guess I should have expected.
