Destiny 2: Forsaken |OT| I'm Coming Home, Ace

Oh boy, just got the Geomag Stabilizers on my Warlock. Guess the random perks could have been better, but for someone that really loves using Chaos Reach, I'm very much okay with just getting these. They also looks sweet as fuck
Just did the Ascendant Challenge, got a 543 PL Tigerspite and a normal Sleepless rocket launcher drop but it has Kill Clip and Cluster Bomb which has to be considered a great roll considering you reload after every rocket anyways, right?
No, I was doing a bunch of tier 3s in there tonight and the only thing that made it palatable was being able to glitch our way to the boss phase.
I was sorting through my inventory to clear up space and I totally forgot I still have planetary tokens. Those don't mean much anymore right ? Can I turn them all in and just scrap all the crap I get ?
Nightfall Powerful Engram gave me the Exotic Sword and immediately after the Ikora Powerful Engram gave me Cerberus+1
3 Exotics all of Forsaken up until tonight (borealis, AC/D0, Dunemarchers) and then in a span of a couple minutes I get 2 new ones. Both seem pretty fun and could be useful in certain situations. Cerberus+1 was really good on Taken Blight PE. Triggered and nearly beat the heroic blight on Dreaming City by myself (boss did a stutter in a blight at the end and was immune with a sliver of health). Any big enemy with a big ole hitbox or a swarm of small enemies will be perfect for that gun.

Maybe the hotfix secretly buffed Exotics...
Got 2 so far in Hard Light and Wardriff myself over a week
I finally got my first Warmind exotic yesterday (that wasn't from Xur), I'm probably never getting a Forsaken one.
Man, reading this thread's last few pages...
I got leaped on for throwing out the idea that Bungie kinda fucked up this expansion's launch with the earlier round of bugs, seems it's just gotten worse since then.

It really is pretty easy once you are 520 or have 6 players below that who know what they are doing. Its that classic Ddestiny thing where sometimes I'm in there with randoms and it works like magic. Everybody dps the SAME boss at the end instead of going around shootin at everything else which is incredibly frustrating. Then you can have a group with more players and we cannot take down either boss...which is incredibly frustrating, but not the game's fault. Did Tier III last night for the first time with I think 7 players and it went really well as everybody concentrated on the same boss. Great feeling when you get through the encounter.
It's weird I've had no trouble at all with tier 2, completed it at least 30 odd times. You just need stacked debuffs and 3 to 4 good dps. Tier 3 is the same. But you need max players. Well of radiance, tethers and whispers. How many people are you trying to do it with. I think 5 is minium at the moment for tier 2
The easy place to check these are the Collections, where you can see each armor set. Just look for the Forsaken icon to tell you it's Season 4 and then read the description.
Why are the bosses the same in the blind well? I did it for like an hour with randoms and the final boss of the 2 tiers are the same big abomination...I expected it to be like Court of oryx tbh
Yep, the only thing which could maybe catch someone out, if they aren't paying much attention is the Crucible armor, as it has slightly different names depending on the class.
Titan is Wing Discipline.
Warlock is Wing Theorem.
And Hunter is Wing Contender.
It's worth doing IMO. I'm currently going through and getting a bunch of the quest exotics I couldn't bother to get when the game launched.
At least this way, people have the opportunity to work for the next tier, instead of having to wait for it.
Remember in D1, where you had to wait a week to get your new exotic sword, class weapons, or Tex Mechanica exotics? People hated that and complained endlessly about it.
I unlocked the new void hunter with my first seed. Super was fun, smoke just seemed more of the same except it exploded instead of being triggered. the invisibility and damage buff melee was fun to use.
Blade Barrage hunter looked neat but the super, just visually, didn't stand out to me. Then I saw someone else use it in Blinding Well. I used my seed on it, unlocked everything, and played around a bit.
Holy shit I haven't had this much fun playing Hunter in a while. The super is borderline OP. Shreds single targets, and can coat an area of trash mobs. Might just be the single highest DPS super in the game. Curious how nighthawk, missle, and chaos reach compare. This is also the very first "Panic" super hunters have gotten.
Then the knives. Oh my god the knives. They do VERY good damage, burn over time, and if you hit just one target, have a 15 second cooldown. 2 targets its something like less than 10. 3, less than 5. Great synergy on a base hunter with gamblers dodge. But the subclass synergizes so well with a couple exotics.
Any exotic build around dodging (wraithmail, wormhusk) gets a boost because burning enemies bring your dodge back.
Ahmkaras Spine + the knives let you basically always have a tripmine.
and my favorite
Ophidia Spathe basically turns you into Genji. It gives you an extra knife charge, so you have 2 knives that will almost always be recharging at the 3x rate. I've cleared entire rooms just fan knifing everything.

Yeah, blade barrage really is something else. I really need to get me Ophidia Spathe, I've been a Celestial Nighthawk main since Day 1 but this new subclass is way too fun.
Won't be surprised if we see a nerf come in at some point.
Saw some posts earlier about blind well struggles. Here's the quick tips.
1. Focus one boss at a time.*
2. Give Harmony Orbs to blade barrage hunters if there are any. They will MELT the shield. Otherwise, give it to people with the best damage supers/weapons.
3. A warlock with a well of radiance makes it VERY easy.
* as a blade barrage hunter I found it helped (in a rando group) to just solo the shields off of the guys whenever I got a harmony orb. Then focus on team damage. Reason being randos kept taking the orbs and barely tickeling the shield. So if my team is focusing Boss 1 and I get a harmony, I'm using blade barrage on the other boss.

Done this so many times in pvp for shits and giggles.
Got a team wipe on one of them.
I had a great last hour or so, got another Seed of Light, finished off the Petra Weeklies sans for the 8 Daily Bounties completed one, got the right gear slot drops I needed and hit 539 PL on my Titan. Still need Reverie Dawn leg armor though to complete the set.
Ended up pre-ordering the Destiny Grimoire book from Amazon, as I think it looks pretty cool.
What am I missinga bout Blind Well?
I'm PL 507. I stumbled upon it while exploring, viewed the people there and they were around 500-520 PL.
We did Tier 1, np, straight forward. Stand in light, kill, move on, repeat.
Teir 2 comes and everything is immune with ?? above. Figured I was just too low PL, but then the group finished it and some were the same or lower than me so I thought I missed a mechanic.
Looked up killing the specific enemies to gain buff, but they were immune too. Tried to stand near people who seemed to be doing dmg, nothing, looked for things to pick up, nothing...
What was I missing? Can someone please to a little step by step here because I'm clearly an idiot in need.

Some of the glowing enemies drop a Harmony orb when you kill them which will charge your super & abilities and allow you to kill the enemies who are immune when you shoot them. The final boss(es) also have this immune shield so when they appear you need one of those harmony orbs to drop the shield.
Every enemy was immune though, even the glowing green ones.

They all had ?? next to their health bars, but people of the same Pl were there with me who seemed to be doing dmg.
I have never came across that before and I have played BW with people in your PL range too.
Have to say, Ace in the Hole is a fantastic mission and send-off for Cayde as a whole. They couldn't have done it better.
The part at the end with Ikora nearly had me in tears.
Nearly.

I've been playing a ton of Gambit (it's all I've done for a few days). I understand how the game works and I can see how many points I need to rank up etc but I'd like to know how many points you gain for a win and for a loss. I've googled it but can't see anything that has anything about this. Anyone know?
I must have been doing it wrong somehow. Thanks for the responses.
It doesn't sound like you were doing anything wrong, keep us updated though :)
Very late to the party on this one, but WOW is this a great looking game on PC. Just stunning art direction and super fluid animations. I never played the original Destiny, and am only a few hours into the base campaign from 2016, so I have no idea what's going on story-wise, but I'm really enjoying my time with it. The combat feedback is outrageously satisfying.
For all the things people have complained about since Destiny 1, the combat was always highly regarded.
I truly believe Bungie's pedigree in shooters has carried this game all this time, and the implementation of the bow is something Bungie should be damn proud of.
Yes, the bow is Leviathan axe levels of feedback satisfaction
