    Xur hates warlocks this week. New exotics for hunter and titan, old shit for warlock and Prometheus Lens trash.

    I'm confused, did they change his stock? He had Knucklehead Radar earlier, which isn't new.

    There has now been... 32? maybe 33 times that Xur has not sold Stomp-EE5. Seriously, fuck Xur.

    On the plus side, I got Vespulaser on Xbox and PC and my PC version has fast summon. Now if I could just get the "Hold on" emote for PC.

    I got that new Warlock Exotic chest, Sanguine Alchemy.

    It does precisely fuck all in PvE, besides looking cool I guess?

    I wanted to test the sight range with ordinary PvE enemies but it doesnt target them.

    We tried the raid lair last night and, par for the course, the instance glitched and we couldn't progress after the first encounter and had no idea it glitched! So after 45 minutes of trying to activate something that couldn't be activated, I went to bed.

    Our Destiny 2 blind raids are 3 for 3 on bizarre glitches.

    Some people are upset but regardless of whether the reward is "fair" or not this type of lore stuff is so awesome.

    Who thought Heroic Strikes above the soft cap was a good idea?

    Tri-Optimum reminds you that there are only one-hundred-sixty-three shopping days until Christmas. Just 1 extra work cycle twice a week will give you the spending money you need to make this holiday a very special one.

    Heroic strikes have a modifier called Glass today, which means 50% HP, add in 350 light requirement and that shit fucking sucked.

    The Nightfall was a ton easier than this bullshit.

    Oh what the fuck? No wonder we got our asses kicked on the one run I tried last night (first time I tried Heroic Strikes with the changes). I had a couple of “Last Guardian Standing” moments and saved us from wipes, but uh ... there is no way us randos were going to beat Xol. Glad to know it was twice as deadly and we weren’t super squishy by default.

    I did Savathun’s Song last night, by the time I triple wardcliff’ed her stupid mega Shrieker in the face and killed it, I was the only Guardian left standing... A little too close, also Ogres and Wizards almost instakills you.

    I didnt feel like doing anymore Heroic Strikes after that.

    So, I'm probably going to pick this up since it's only $12. Lets see if I stick with it longer than I stuck with the first one.

    Got the Huckleberry and the On the Phone emote the other day so I’m feeling pretty good. My goodness is the Huckleberry fun to shoot.

    The exotic tuning pass might be low key one of my favorite things ever to happen to this game. Since then I’ve played with so many other guns I never bothered with before. Not only things like the Grav Lance and Crimson, but the other night I was running Sturm and Drang and...goddamn are they fun now..

    Why isnt the Valkyrie an exotic weapon?

    Sirialis wrote: »

    Either:

    A) They've decided PvE Event weapons need to remain exclusive to those events to preserve the special feeling derived from their use

    or

    B) The entanglement of PvE and PvP makes a weapon like Valkyrie too hard to balance for both contexts while remaining fun.

    (Or both. Probably both.)

  • cB557cB557 voOOP Registered User regular
    It also lets them be separate from the normal ammo economy, allows them to not have to compete with other weapons for their weapon slot, and having to go over to the javelin and pick it up can be another tool in encounter design.

    The same reason the cannons from House of Wolves weren't. Balance mainly involves controlling the usage.

    That is a super disappointing secret.

    edit: woulda been better if some rando had found it while out on a walk with their dogs or something.

    yeah, that would have been a neat broken way to end the ARG.

    Alternate ending:
    As "actually present" and "physically present" are two different things, Live Twitch streamer Johnny takes all the coins to give to the the subs on his channel!

    SMC raid run was a good one this morning. got my titan to 362 now and picked up a huckleberry which is fun but i dunno that i’ll actually use because SMGs are hard

    one more raid tomorrow morning and all else i have to do really is grind catalyst requirements on borealis and DARCI which should uh

    which should be fun

    shit, that's like an hour and a half from me, we have a family summer camp about 30 minutes from there. I'll be headed up in 2 or 3 weeks, maybe I can force myself to get off my ass and go into the woods (I hate hiking lol)

    assuming nobody does what I said in some fashion, it'd be awesome for other people too. perhaps they restock it.

    I like using Wardcliff Coil, apparently the Catalyst makes the rockets track better, anyone know if its a noticeable improvement?

    who says you need to weapon swap a lot when using the lionbro

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RADeB5WmImQ&feature=youtu.be

    im going to do a short video about how this weapon actually works because its fucking BIZARRE and the passive is nearly totally incorrect as a description of how it actually resets

    Was actually just coming here to talk about that. Back in D1 is was a chance to reload on melee damage, and you could take a throwing knife perk that inflicted a burning DoT that had a chance to proc it every single damage tick. Didn't work with smoke grenade though. In D2 it's a guaranteed reload, but we don't have incendiary knives anymore and smoke grenades still don't proc it. However, we do have explosive knives, and the splash from those does count for proccing it. As well, the splash comes a split second after the damage from the knife impact itself, which counts still counts for proccing the perk itself. So, you can throw an explosive knife, reload your weapon from the impact damage, and then immediately switch to another weapon, which if you timed it right, will then get reloaded from the explosion damage.
    Wanna do a bit more testing with arcstrider. Wanna see if I can get something similar to explosive knives to happen with the bottom tree's AoE blind melee, and with the subclass's super as well. Doubtful on both accounts. I don't know if there's even any delay to the AoE blind to swap weapons during, and if there is the melee animation might still keep me from switching weapons. With the super I'd have to use an attack just as it runs out to have a chance. I think there are some attacks it has that have a moment of delay or travel time, so they might work for this. There's also the top tree that makes each hit deal a second hit a moment afterward. Against targets beefy enough to survive the first hit that could help as well.
    Oh, fuck. I just realized I forgot to test if you could get a shot off inbetween the explosive knife impact and explosion and get a gun to reload from them twice. Might be some handy triple rocket shit there.

    I've barely played hunter so most of this vaguely makes sense to me but the theory crafting of it really gets me going.
