    I know most people probably did this ages ago, but the Crucible precision kills step for Ace of Spades is kicking me in the balls right now for critical damage. Is Rumble the best spot to farm this?

    I actually just finished that myself last week, and I personally did it in quickplay; I feel like I had the best luck in Control. I only tried Mayhem a few times, but it was too hectic and chaotic for me and I could never shoot mans long enough to get the kills.

    Just stick with it dude, there's no real trick. Ya just gotta do it. It gets easier as it goes by tho, because you get better at it (I did, and I'm lousy).

    The Ace of Spades is a fun-ass gun, too, so it's totally worth it...

    Took the Ace out of the vault yesterday to run through a bunch of bounties and most of Last Wish, didn't realize how much I'd missed it. That twirly reload really never gets old. Well, that and the explosions.

    For some reason, Ace of Spades just feels off to me, idk why

    I'm really digging the Bad News Black Armory Edition I got with Outlaw and Kill Clip. Never thought I'd like Bad News.

    I got Bad News last night from the Forge. It had Mulligan and Timed Payload, which sounds fun on paper. In practice? Pretty garbage. I'll stick with my Outlaw/Rampage Duke.

    Oh that mos def sounds like dookie to me, I don't think I can use a Hand Cannon unless it has some reload perk like Outlaw, Rapid Hit, or Drop Mag

    Titan finally got a class item just now, it went from 600 to 626.

    Just leave this levelling system behind when you make Destiny 3.

    Dreaming City is great. When it's not bugged I have very close to zero complaints about it and I have almost as much fun complaining about Destiny as I do playing Destiny.

    the current state of super balance in pvp is really awful, and the way mayhem works in d2 vs d1 just exacerbates the issue

    I went into my 5 matches today with the express intention of completing at least one Warlock super triumph I didn't have (specifically kill someone with vortex from nova bomb).

    It was one of the most counterproductive supers of the current options, to try to use in mayhem.

    I think having that specific goal made it fine, though. It feels like a fake game mode, so I kinda treat it as such mentally. It's like everyone has on god mode and there's no way that it's going to be "fair", and skill is completely useless.

    Maybe it's just because mayhem has been gone so long? I dunno, I thought it was fine. If I was aiming for wins or something maybe I'd have felt different?

    But I got my triumph, and got the 5 matches for the weekly faster than it usually takes for one sweaty match (I'm sure that's not accurate, but it felt like it). Even in D1 it seemed that mayhem was lopsided every game. It would start close and then one team would just run the score up.

    I guess I'll see if it seems different for my Hunter and Titan, but the matches I did it didn't seem like nova warp or barrage were more effective than anything else. Barrage is already limited in its one shot, and when everyone has a super nova warp is so much easier to shut down (particularly with a ranged super) that it actually seemed to be less bullshit than general crucible.

    To me at least. I mean hey, if you didn't enjoy it, you didn't enjoy it. I'm not sure I would even say I enjoyed it, so much as it never felt frustrating like quickplay feels these days so often (since you can do the mountaintop in it), and was dramatically faster to get bounties/milestones via it.

    I'm happy it'll be around till Christmas, there's enough to do in D2 right now to worry about a pile of sweaty matches to get powerfuls.

    Completely unrelated, I'm just baffled that the Fastidious Miser triumph won't be fixed till January, at least. It has admittedly been 15 years since I was a programmer; but I retain enough theory to surmise that their code has to be pretty slapdash to have something that should be as simple as a brute force check against the other three triumphs on an account, be this difficult to fix. My understanding of the engine they're using (the modified D1 engine) would support that, as there's been stories for years about how hellish it can be to work with, and how it wasn't designed to do at least half the things they're having it do.

    Oh well, at least that triumph doesn't have a reward behind it. Hopefully the egg sparrow is still on track for next week like they said in TW@B, and it doesn't get pulled last minute. I've suspected that the reasons it wasn't being rewarded for people who did eggs across characters is probably founded on the same issues causing some of the meta triumphs like Fastidious Miser to break, so I'm curious why they can fix that, and not the other.

    Ahh you’re much more magnanimous than me, I just assume it’s not fixed still due to gross incompetence.

    Revive Tokens:
    We are currently investigating an issue where tokens are not removed appropriately when reviving team mates. This issue has been present since the launch of Destiny 2, but reproducing the issue for investigation has proven difficult. In Scourge of the Past, this seems to be occurring much more frequently.
    If you have encountered this issue, please post a report to the Help forum detailing your experience.
    I've seen this happen before in Last Wish and it was pretty great. Also, don't be a narc.

    This Saturday one of my raid groups is gonna start clearing Scourge triumphs, so I’m excited about that. Planning on doing arc and solar, back to back.

    I still need to go back to LW and get the Petra that I’m missing.

    They should just get rid of Revive tokens as a mechanic completely.

    And no, I dont mean to use D1's way of not letting us revive at all instead.

    Just make the counter longer on repeat revives?

    The current system in Last Wish seems to be perfectly fine to me.

    Considering how easy SotP enemies are once you’re on level, and the lack of a prestige mode with any additional wrinkles, revive tokens aren’t gonna be much of an issue for a halfway competent raid team. All my raid death in the last couple of runs came from fucking around trying to
    get the secret chest and dying on my sparrow.

    Its more that the mechanic feels pointless.

    And I can remember a few times where we were boned due to bugs and the revive timers killing the entire team.

    I’ve definitely had that happen. More often it was one badly timed death hosing a whole run because someone had to drop whatever they were doing and make it across the map in 30. But ever since they changed the timer to be a pool, things have been good.

    I really love gambit. I never want to run 15 gambits in a row like last weekend, but even when we get trashed I get some satisfaction because I feel like I’ve learned something and developed some skill with the mode. It’s not complicated things either. They’re very simple and with even modest gear not hard to execute.

    I want to shake teammates and be like “no no no, don’t wait for 15 motes and send an ogre. You’ll probably just eat it. Get 5-6-7 and flip back to the bank, multiple taken are better than one big one.”

    I let teammates grab motes when I hit that number. Which is hard because everyone is trying to pick up as many as possible. The only time I really get 10 or so is when it’s very safe to kill multiple mobs. 15 is exclusively blowing through stuff with my super.

    My big hang up is damaging the primeval. I very rarely find myself with heavy ammo and even if I do it feels critical for taking out the emissaries. So then I have nothing and I’m plinking away with a primary. I may start equipping snipers exclusively in the secondary slot so I have some burst for the end game.

    Anyway it’s a really satisfying “horde” mode and the competitive element adds tension and immediacy to it. For all of Bungie’s failings and annoyances, they are fantastic designers.

    We just got the Solar one done last week. Hilariously we did it in the group with no warlocks, which really is making it harder on yourself then you need to.

    Not that I've done the new raid, but isn't having a grace warlock in the group always a nice have? Wouldn't think it spoils much.

    Now if there's a specific reason to run a non-grace lock, yeah maybe that's a spoiler.

    Along these lines, anyone up to try and get together this weekend to raid Scourge?
