Anyone want to round up for a raid Last Wish tonight (or have a raid spot open)? I wants to see it!
Also up to 617 LL, despite a few powerful drops giving me items below the LL of the slot they are...
I would be down later but I usually just do pickup groups or LFG. Still, if we can make a run happen I would join. And if we have mostly PA people could maybe actually do a legit Riven since I would like to do that sometime.

If it’s a good time for me (aka not this week), I’ll join. And I’m always down for doing legit Riven.
All this crazy pve stuff that I’ve not managed to do because I’m still slogging away at the competitive playlist. 😕

Bungie added this fun new PvE play mode that I was trying out tonight, it's called "Guess If You Exist And Also What's The Error Code Going To Be!"
The Ghost Forge was neat, I got to watch the first round timer tick away in an empty nether realm of loneliness. The other two managed to beat round one without me.
But the RNG on the error codes is just too much, it's basically impossible to guess which one will actually send you to orbit, so there's almost no point in trying. You don't even get any activity specific bounties to try and complete!
Got one with Feeding Frenzy and Rampage and it absolutely shreds. I definitely recommend a counterbalance mod for it, though. The reticle bounces all over the place while ADS otherwise. I’ll probably continue using hammerhead for gambit, it’s hard to argue with the range on it, but for Strikes and Crucible I’ll definitely be using the Avalanche.
Gofannon forge finally ignited in a last second effort. Sniper rifle acquired, and a Ballistics Log wasted because Bungie.

New player here, just hit 514 light. Other than doing daily/weeklies and any activity that rewards Powerful gear, what should I focus on? Is it worth completing the milestones that only reward stuff like planet resources?
I haven’t got around to forging the hand cannon. How is it?
It's a fine option, but admittedly I have a soft spot for hand cannons. Fire rate and impact feel nice and it seems to pack a punch, less recoil than Nation of Beasts. Still, I prefer NoB/Ace/Malfeasance. At first blush, doesn't seem bonkers but doesn't seem weak.

I'd also be down to join if we can work out schedules. Also interested in a legit Riven encounter.

You mean the bounties? Or the adventures?
Bounties are worth completing while doing other stuff to get more glimmer if you need it.
In general it's good to have a nice stockpile of mats available.

Yeah I just noticed that you need planet-specific mats for infusing. I guess I should have been saving those, but my character is young yet.

It suffers from what a lot of energy hand cannons suffer from - the feedback you receive make it seem like it isn't hitting as hard as it is. Truth fixes that by making that outrageously loud firing sound.
It's the same archetype as a Better Devils so that should give you the rough idea of what you are working with. The thing that potentially makes it interesting is that it has barrel mods and not sights and its supposed "curated" roll which includes Kill Clip AND Rampage. Which means you can have a constant damage bonus rolling in PvE and the potentially have both up at the same time. It makes for a potentially interesting niche gun in PvP which could lead to two taps - especially if you have the rampage mod that makes it stay up a little longer to get the overlap.

I suspect he's talking about stuff like the old adventures/quests like "O Captain, My Captain".
They're generally fun, well written and also thoroughly unrewarding at this point. For the gainz, no. For enjoyment and entertainment I would. Once.
Anthem's core gameplay is very very good. And if they can surround it with good systems like itemization, endgame, levelling, etc, then it will probably surpass Destiny as my go-to loot based rpg.
But it not having PvP means that it will never overtake Destiny.

Is/was there an open beta? I'm intrigued by Anthem but their reveals have all been...lackluster.
There was a closed Alpha.
In Destiny news. Here's NATBurn's first attempt at Petra's run! Warning, its a very long twitch video, and we may or may not have done it on our very first attempt:

I think it's a tough sell to use any energy HC that's not Trust or LH (for PvP, at least). It may be nice to have if the sandbox ever shifts things away from the 180 archetype, though.

Important note about The Dawning and its Triumphs: You need to bake a BURNT EDGE TRANSIT before you complete all the other recipes and masterwork your oven. Once you MW the oven, you can only choose from the known recipes and will NOT be able to make a Burnt Edge Transit, rendering the Triumph for doing so uncompletable.
Intent was for players to experiment with recipes, to slowly uncover the appropriate ingredients for each cookie. It was understood that some players would wait for a full list to be posted to reddit or other, and there was a desire to reward those who tried new things without fear.
As such, the Burnt Edge Transit came to be, with it's associated triumph. The triumph is hidden and has no point value, which was a conscious decision knowing that some players may not obtain it when following community curated cookbooks.
I'll pass feedback along that some of you are unable to unlock the triumph - but at this time, this is not preventing players from obtaining any specific rewards. Only the triumph itself.

My Ascendant Challenge PR was a Borealis, which I didn't have...but at 2 LL lower than my best special, so once again no upgrade.
It would've been an upgrade in literally any other slot but special!

The Forge is overloading everyone's Energy slot. Three out of the four available frames are Energy, not a single Kinetic.
Any combination of items that doesn't produce another cookie will produce a BET. An example based on what I have the most of: Taken Butter + Bullet Spray will yield a BET.

Isn't the hand cannon frame this week kinetic?
edit: Ah, they have two different BA handcannons. The powerful frame one is an energy slot, gotcha. I'd gotten the Kinetic BA handcannon as a random drop before so I thought the powerful frame would be that one.

Any of the BA weapons you get as random drops can't be forged - those are specific named weapons. So anything you get as a random drop from the forge is something, that at the moment, is not possible to make from a frame.

I mean my 113 rounds in the mag AA MG is fun too but... Guess I'll do a lot of MG frames which I cant even pick up this week? Terrible.
Tap the Trigger turns the MG into a scout rifle.

Until January 1 reset.

Overall, 6.5/10, would not play again.
