Btw the Ordeal this week is really good for grinding 950s, you can run past 75% of the strike and just kill the Champions for Plat. Very first run, I said to my LFG I was looking for Sixth Coyote. First drop? Sixth Coyote... But stats mostly in Strength which I don't need. It's still a 55+ roll so I'm using it for now, but yeah, I'm just gonna start saying what I want out loud everytime so the Bungie gods hear my call
Speaking of LFGs, I try to join fireteams through the official app and it keeps telling me "Character Required to Join." Any idea what this means, I don't see anywhere to select one.
EDIT: I figured it out, or did a workaround. Creating my own fireteam then closing it now lets me join other LFGs.

in pursuit of my dream of wasting all the heavy ammo i get theres a way to kind of max payne jump with the sword but its so insanely fiddly
you gotta sword boost, weapon swap at the same time, then do a jump input as the character handler registers the weapon swap in order to go back into the glide state that the swap cancelled. if u do it at the wrong time u lose like half the speed but it rules just flying around. if u mash out the input u fall on the ground with zero momentum which is super weird but i guess useful for jukes? the character controller in this game is so bizarre

scheck I feel like eventually you're going to face off against the new ultimate boss or w/e and instead of actually shooting them you're going to pull a Neo and just explode their code right out of the game.
Also, if anyone on PC with an nvidia card has been having performance issues, apparently turning that friggin' geforce experience thing off can help.
I'll be honest, I'm really not a fan of the whole showing the ornament in place of the armor icon in menus thing. I hate it cos I like a consistent style so Ill put the same ornament on armor and then I start to forget which armor piece is which

Secret triumph speculation, including the datamined bits or w/e:
So, it's gotta be something like this, right? Apparently in the old Trials a spider would occasionally crawl across the screen when aiming down sights, and the text "see a spider in your sights" has got to be a reference to that, right?
Saw someone mention that the new Crucible labs mode is a lot like Trials, and the description has Shaxx making a reference to it being a mode that we liked.
Played a pair of games with a Shaxx mask and the Werewolf, spending a lot of time ADS, but no luck so far. No idea how often it used to happen, tho, so maybe it's just unlikely. Haven't spent too much time doing this in the forest but I figure if it was this somebody would've gotten it by now.
Somebody find it already so I can stop thinking about it.
I like the ornaments on the armor. It lets me keep my highest rolls for each element on each armor piece clearly marked. So whenever I get a new piece, I know to just find one of the ornament pieces and quickly compare it.
Anyone else lose any previously acquired eververse ornaments with the patch?
Specifically the Optimacy gear; I know for a fact I had it acquired on all characters and now in collections they are supposedly not unlocked at all. My main character has supposedly acquired only a single piece.
Given that it’s paid/Eververse gear I’d like to figure out if this is a bug unique/unlucky to me or if it’s more widespread

You sure you're looking in the right spot? There were technically two different Optimacy sets, once from Season 1 and a re-release in Season 7 (which was turned into Universal Ornaments in Season 8).
IB armor is particularly dumb since only some of them were ornaments and most weren't; but they should all be.
And the Optimacy set, as far as I can tell, was combined in the collections. For me it no longer lists two different optimacy sets. I hadn't completed the S1 version, but had the whole thing from last season, and now it just has a generic optimacy set in the collection (and in appearances for armor).
Did they say they were going to cycle all of the Y1/2 eververse sets into the store? I feel like they said that sometime. Or at least the Y1 sets? I'm missing the CoO set and the one during the drifter season, whatever it was named (I thought it was outlaw, but apparently outlaw was S4 at Forsaken launch).
oh and all the sword jumping tech works with void charges
i was skating around the new dungeon at 3000 miles an hour clutching my voidular boi. also the awful relic swords that have the terrible animations in that dungeon have the same midair heavy tech but that heavy attack ONLY exists if ur cancelling out of a left click otherwise it shoots a project. any of the animations can be cancelled into the fake super

Positive. I had zero of the old armor but definitely had all of the ones dropping last season.

"Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination."
Did you have either of them fully complete? As I said, prior to Shadowkeep I had them seperate, the full S7 one and partial of S1; now it is just the set, I don't think it even has the chalice icon, I'd have to check.
EDIT: actually, I was wrong. It is still separate. S1 is under universal ornaments and S7 is under factions.
And I just now noticed that it lists the chest of the S7 version as missing and I had it. So that is shitty!
EDIT2: looking around more, I can still choose all of the parts in the appearance tab for armors, and the Universal ornament section for the set only shows what I had for the S1 version, not the S7 version.
So the game still seems to know I had the full S7 version, but what it shows in collections is dorked up.
The icon in appearances is the S1 icon. The icon in the universal ornaments tab in collections is the S7 icons. :rotate:
EDIT3: and the Optimacy set on Eververse won't let me purchase it (I wasn't going to, just wanted to check) and says I already have it.

This probably should be bug reported.
Ahhh ok so it isn’t just me then. Good to have confirmation. Should definitely be big reported given that Eververse gear can mean real money.
Of course I wouldn’t know how to even go about getting attention to it.
Edit: Tweeted it to a Destiny content creator. They’re more likely to read and respond to it than anyone from Bungie. Which speaks volumes, really but that’s another matter

i did the dungeon solo on warlock without using any pve specific stuff (dawnblade, ophidians fighting lion sword shotgun etc) so i imagine it shouldnt be too bad for a hunter - its mostly gimmicks involving the sword block in the final fight and making sure u clear out the adds (and remembering not to jump when he ground pounds because the only true alpha predator in destiny is walls)
Finished Warmind with my Warlock. Poor Zavala. Vanguard-Dad's so done with Mars. Anyway, guess it's on to Forsaken.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaa Rasputin
Yeah, hope he comes into play sometime this year. And hopefully not in a 'Worf got jobbed again' way. That's probably the best picture I took of the three at the end of the cinematic by the way. There was this one but...
...yeah, something about the way I caught this makes everyone seem off due to how they're standing. Especially Zavala.
While I don't think I'd try with a thrift shop load out like I was running on my warlock for my solo clear, I do think Hunter would largely be fine in encounter three provided they had one of the big three of Izanagi, Recluse or Delirium.
Zavala looks like somebody played a highlight reel of the red war campaign back to him and it's dawned on him what a bunch of clowns it made the vanguard look.
Everyone is different. Everyone is special.

After years of maining a Hunter (and dabbling in a Warlock), I finally made a Titan.
My takeaways are as follows:
Shoulder charge actually is as ridiculous as it seems on the receiving end.
GOD, TITAN JUMPING SUCKS ASS.
Are hunters always this fucking annoying to fight if you aren't one?
Where does my guy put his giant mohawk under that helmet?
I didn't fire my gun during the entire opening mission because the punch animation really IS wonderful.
Dual grenades almost makes up for the atrocious movement.
Pulse grenades are nasty. Is this what it's like to have actual grenades?
Furry collars are dope.
How do you even Crucible without smoke bombs?
Everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty

Key point of Titan jump: you don't deploy it immediately after your first jump, as you would with a Warlock. The timing and how you're meant to use it are pretty different. Once you master how that's meant to work, it can do some impressive things.
Very excited going in, visually it's a hell of a thing.
First:
Overthought the first encounter, all the symbols must mean some complex....nope.
Second, intro:
What the fuck killed oh dang, is this a giant stone cock wall? Yessssssss. Oh, it's right there, the rest of this has no meaning apparently. Overthought it again. Probably for LMbuG.
Second, actual:
Ooh, something shiny to pick up. Twisty little passages oh dang that Ogre(s) is so mad.
Third:
IS THAT SOME MOTHERFUCKIN' ANNIHILATOR TOTEM? RELAY RACE TIME!
Fourth:
Hop hop hop, onward.
Final:
Uh ok, so three castles. Dunk spots. Drop down, shield knight? Oh, its like that. Didn't quite dope out how his flame impact thing worked, three tries, got him down. Got a terrible robe, 67 total stats. 951. Can't nuke it, yet.
A lot shorter, a lot less epic and the associated exotic made me a lot less excited. Visually looks great, looking down on his final spot from the start, and looking up to the start from the final bit. Found one cryptoglyph in the Ogre maze.

I miss having all the old ornaments that I unlocked on the Xbox, and it's weird (for anyone but bungie i guess) that we can't earn them anymore. Just the basic armor ornaments that were there back at the start of year one. The universal ornament thing seems weirdly underutilized. My worst fear is they're going to fucking Bungie it and intro a system that seems like what we wanted, then only give us a smattering of ornaments and then turn around and try to sell us ornaments for cash. "EP armor universal ornaments....in the store! The whole set for $15 dollars...per class!" *grits teeth*
I'd lose my fucking mind.
Didnt they basically datamine a kitbashed EP set a while back? Cant imagine them giving it away.

But I'm sure not everyone needs that.
I call out what weapon/armor I'm hunting for pretty often, and it works with surprising regularity - but the drop is for someone else on my fireteam.
I do requests now.
