    How does Gambit work exactly? All I know is that it's some sort of PvEvP mashup.

    It's also narrated by the Drifter, who is trying to be the cool uncle of the Destiny family

    Every time he says "Get to the garden" it makes Tickertron by RTJ start playing in my head.

    The post invasion lines are my favorite:

    “They wanted to fight ya right, thats what they said!” after a 4 kill makes me grin every time.

    I tried doing the Malfeasance strike solo back at 600 and couldn't get past the room with the multiple waves of enemies that require balls tossed at them to break their shields. I think I'll try again once I get to 650 and see if that makes the difference

    Did the triumphs for solar, arc, void, and being the same class for Scourge of the Past, tonight. We started getting some pretty decent times by the end.

    You're already above 580, so going even higher won't change anything. You really need someone to pass the ball to.

    Chromatic Fire is fun in pve but damn near useless in PvP. I want it to be more awesome but it just doesn't quite do much of anything.

    Soloing the Malfeasance strike elevator section is kind of a silly challenge but doable if you're a Hunter. Taken Barrier mod + dodge recharge mod + way of trapper + Orpheus Rigs can get you there.

    (I may or may not have banged my head against that wall for a while before joining up with someone for the rest of the strike)

    I see. Thanks for the info. On another note, anyone in the XB1 side of things maybe wanna give me a run through a Nightfall for the first time? Been sitting in the queue for about a half-hour but there's been no bites yet.

    What's your GT?

    Does Hands-on affect Sword kills? Or melee abilities that are ranged like throwing knives?

    AFAIK no for the first and yes for the second.

    On one hand I finished mountaintop over the weekend. So yay

    On the other hand...something like five or six kindled orchids and not one decent roll, and zero comp progress over the whole weekend.

    I think the biggest problem for Chromatic Fire is that without Ace of Spades (or any firefly kinetic I guess, don't know if they added any new ones) the collateral damage is within two meters (extends out to four with Ace) and even in a game with as much hand holding as D2 that's not going to come up all that often in a way that is particularly positive for the average player so it's definitely very situational.

    It seems like it used to be better before the nerf/fix. Even after they upped the damage.

    The combination of "taken butter" and some "personal touch" does seem like a fitting gift for Rahool.

    @Jakorian You still need a hand? I've been drinking but I'm about to get on and can be a Darkness Zone anchor for the malfeasance strike. Probably incompetent to do a jumping puzzle.

    What platform? I'm fairly certain we could put together a willing five on PS4.

    Sigh. That’s what I get for leaving my whispers open to help someone out in a pve activity...I get sent abusive chat in pvp.

    Would be nice if Bungie’s reporting system actually worked, but I have little faith.

    Is there no way to report through the Blizzard app? I always do system level reports on console, more effective

    Yeah I reported for abusive chat but I somehow doubt it does anything. I think it goes to Bungie, not Blizzard.

    Blizzard would probably do something

    The best part is after the first two came through I went and changed it back, but apparently once they’ve started whispering you they can just keep going.

    Eh Blizzard can be pretty aggressive with bans, they ban toxic streamers while still live (those clips give me life force)

    Good on you for reporting the bastard

    Thanks for the Nightfall run CptHamilton! I at least got my 100k banner so that should help in the quest for the Braytech drop, should I get to run it some more.

    I'd really love a no invasion, PvE only Gambit mode. PvP just ruins it for me.

    Yeh, I haven't bothered with it yet exactly because pvp in this game is not amusing. Throwing some Warcraft 3 style creeps in the mix does not help.

    That said, I might actually stumble my way through a round or two now that I'm ~540 and running out of PvE things to do. Just to get the cheevo if nothing else.

    Gambit is pretty much zero pressure having popped that seal. just play. I feel sorry for anybody that has yet to get 'er done.

    Only reason I'm playing Gambit is the challenges to get powerful gear rewards, and the quest to get the Breakneck rifle.

    I was assuming by "PvE only" he meant no other team at all. As gambit has been explained here, it sounds like Puzzle Fighter; the teams are *mostly* doing their own thing, but you can occasionally mess with the other team, either by physically showing up to shoot at them or by sending enemies to them.

    So all you'd have to do is remove the other team and the enemies they spawn, and you'd just have an arena style DPS race. Good finishing times would give you certain medals / loot. Maybe there'd be a leader board.

    Breakneck is so fun! I've been using it almost exclusively since I got it last week with Minor Spec mod on it. I'm still trying to get a Rampage mod from Ada-1, but so far I've gotten 3 Sprint Grip mods and a couple other things, no Rampage. :(

    I think the advantage vs. strikes (iirc "nightfall" is just a hard mode strike with no matchmaking) would be that gambit is of limited duration. Like regular pvp, you would be able to just sit down whenever, play a few rounds, and then go do something else, without worring about getting bogged down in endless derp. Whereas strikes can take an arbitrarily long time to complete, depending on how bad you or others are at them.

    I really, fundamentally loathe the "Respawning restricted" screen. Any chance to see that less, outside PvP, I'd be in favor of.
