Weapon slot chages, bulk shader deletion and even more vault space coming on August 28th!

Can't post the image of the revised roadmap right now. I'm sure one of you will.

I would love multiple levels to catalysts/ masterworks. For instance a "level 2" Acrius would have improved handling. At "level 3" it would have increased rate of fire or far greater reserve ammo.

I want even more long term investment. Exotics should grow over time, just as my guardian does. At the end of the day, every single exotic is a meaningful choice. A game changer. No matter what it is, at it's maxoum potential, it will make a profound difference.

Exotics need to be exotic. Not just good, but make you say OH SHIT. Sunshot, Graviton Lance and Acrius have that factor. But every single exotic should.

We used to have this. It was called D1. People bitched about it and then it was subsequently removed. Granted I know that the exotic perk was the final slot but we had a "Masterworks" before.

They need to bring that back AND implement a tiered master work system. You know, actual depth. Progression.

correct.

I've retired every other weapon up to the Calus encounter at which time I now switch to Whisper. There is literally no reason to run anything else in your power slot in Levi raids. IKELOS_SG is a close second, but has inherent risk built in (trench barrel melee proc) that Acrius doesn't have. Particularly when dealing with Gauntlet yellow bars. 6-shot acrius is the dream.

I'd think that has already been done. I've done this with bathers.

1 Acrius shot is roughly equal to 2-2.5 IKELOS_SG shots with trench barrel, IIRC. It takes about 4 trenchbarrel shots to kill a Prestige bather. Takes 2 with Acrius. Without trench barrel, it takes more or less the whole magazine for the IKELOS to put down a prestige bather. Thus, I always run Acrius because it can kill the fastest and from the deepest range, minimizing off-plate downtime.


If you guys run shotguns on bather what are you DPS-ing the lamps with?? That's why I always went with Merciless, it does both.

Also still on hiatus, probably (maybe? Or maybe wait tol Forsaken) going to return when I get my new TV next week, BUT

I dont think I like the direction Bungie is going in. They're chasing the Masses love by making a lot of OP stuff. But I dont think it's sustainable or long term healthy. What meaning do Boss damage phases even have with some of these OP PVE weapons and exotics being introduced?

The 12 year old idiots who want a win button are what eventually ruin the game. When was the last timer Bungie nerfed anything? They're scared to nerf anything now because of crowd bullying against it, and it's not fun. Graviton and Vigilance Wing are the only things you can use in crucible and it isn't fun. In the past, would be handled with a simple nerf. Now, that's not an option. Game suffers.

Remember that Solstice of Heroes was listed as being in the July 17th update but we aren't actually getting it until the 31st. They've also done it in the past with faction rally dates.

I'd love to see the weapon slot changes a week early but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Saving my energy for Solstice, imagine a lot of others are too

Pretty sure you're gonna see the weapon slot changes in that August patch. This is Taken King's launch again, where the patch is actually available a week before so everyone has time to install it, and Taken King's sandbox/changes all went live even before the patch.

Yeah, I've been wondering about this as in the past all the major expansions were downloaded (most of the data anyways) a week or two in advance of the actual release date. Hope this continues with Forsaken, worried a bit that because it's also on PC now this may change things.

Edit: Seems like I have nothing to worry about after reading this Polygon article and seeing the roadmap from Bungie.

---------------------------------

I'm also curious to see if the Heroic version of The Whisper will be available to me when it comes back considering I'm pretty sure we beat the mission after reset on Monday. I really just want to go in there and explore at my leisure.

I'm trying to catch up with speed by finishing the DLC's and increasing my light level on PC by my own. Still I don't understand like any of the words and jargon that goes around Destiny in general. I'm gonna try to find a group to finally try to do a Raid, Strike, Nightfall or whatever the hell those are called. Is there a preferred wiki or piece of information that might be helpful to a complete ignorant on this franchise? All I do is look for better numbers, point and shoot, but I lack any knowledge of this game and I think that I'll need to read a lot on it before I join a group.

Any ideas?

Join the Discord and post any questions you might have there.

Alternatively, employ the services of a Destiny sherpa who knows all things by heart.

Are they ever going to let me repair my Traveler's Chosen? This Solstice event seems like a good time. Isn't it a celebration/retrospective of all the year 1 shit and replaying the story missions? Yeah, come on Bungle I need this in my life.

Wormhusk in general is the worst exotic to play against. I'm tempted to just go full on Sentinel with Feedback or Synthoceps to troll them.

Yesterday was a beautiful day: Got the Sleepy catalyst and Huckleberry catalyst after 2 heroic adventures. Just missing the Acrius catalyst which refuses to drop.

Can't wait for the Whisper quest to come back so I can finish my sleeper.

Other than just for collecting is there any reason to use the sleeper/darci over the whisper now? Well of course not counting prestige mode.

There's a normal & prestige Leviathan raid running back to back this Saturday at 7pm Irish/UK time, and there's two free spots it anyone wants in. Just let me know on here.

Platform: PS4

Was Rise of Iron a great expansion or just a good one?

Rise of Iron was great sendoff, I think. Introduced a lot of great addons.

Iron Temple public space was great, and even had its share of secrets.
One of the best raids in the game.
Some of the best guns in the game.
Some great armor, and looks (ornaments which are LEAPS above what we currently have in D2)
One of the best hidden quests (Outbreak Prime), shame the gun didnt get much time in the spotlight.

I wasn't too blown away by the amount of content and the SP was like 2 hours.

Only got to do the raid once. Like with all raids, never feel like I get enough value from these. At least we got Tyra

Hey all. I just got started back into destiny again. Is there a clan here that it's possible to join? I don't really have a solid group to do raids consistently and everything else
