Jonah having kids and descendants feels both wrong and right. I wonder if any are related to Tallulah

Yeah I'm surprised they hven't done anything yet about mod components from Banshee. I'm fine with the masterwork core changes. I don't think it works out completely well no matter how much you say otherwise. Besides I'm guessing they will still be rare within the Scrapper bounties and likely only be involved with either the major Wanted Bounty or the ones just before it. Basically I'm guessing it will just up the potential amount to 4-5 a week. That said if its for all or even most of the Wanted bounties then yeah I have to agree with you on it being bullshit. Weirdly enough the spawn rate for Malfeasance didn't bother me too much though I can understand changing it. The Ace change still pisses me purely because I actually fucking did the original the day they made the change. Yeah, no idea why Whisper of the Worm is still so damn ridiculous. How bad is Luna's Howl? It just sounded grindy to me, the bits of the quest I skimmed over.

https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/47303 Highlights: Malfeasance Primeval spawn rate is being upped. The exotic ship and sparrow are no longer guaranteed drops for second and third kills. We will be able to track up to three pursuits. Transmat effects will be added to Collections. Increasing Fusion Rifle and Sword Damage in PvE (why?). Masterwork Cores from Spider Wanted bounties and scrapper bounties

Until they became available elsewhere I actually had no idea those were Sony exclusives. Those are two of more fun strikes to run through. You have no idea how happy this makes me seeing that I'm using the Vestian Dynasty semi-regularly now.

I never really think about increasing my mobility for stuff like this. I should keep that in mind for the future. Last week's jumping didn't feel nearly as bad as this week's to me. It still wasn't great. Interesting that you had trouble with the wizards. I kind of chewed threw them with Blade Barrage and the Edge Transit. Can't recall if I was using Vestian Dynasty at the time, but that actually works remarkably well against Taken. I suppose its why Petra gives you one in the first place. I think I did the Heroic Rift Generator once, and that was by pure luck of running into it during that first or second week of Forsaken. I'm surprised you haven't gotten a full Reverie Dawn set yet. Then again I think I only just completed the gambit armor set a few days ago. I really need to remember and go through one tonight with the full set. Just a reminder, but you can put those blessings on regular armor or replace the curse any mod. I only keep them the way they are because it feels like something of a natural fit. Honestly, I don't are too much for the Reverie Dawn armor outside of the helmet. I think set looks better on Warlocks and Titans. Really most of the Forsake armor sets seem to. I did my clan bounties the first day. I just let them slowly build and turn them in for the next week's reset now.

Toni/Hiroyo was a nice match, much better than the draw they had in Stardom last year. Rhea/Kacy was a nice enough showcase for both women but at the same time maybe a bit of a step down from their first round performances. Rhea seemed a bit off on her bumping and Kacy had her big botch with that wonderful double springboard dropkick. I did like that neither let any mistakes throw them off and slow things down. Taynara/Lacey was probably Taynara's best showing yet which made Lane's victory all the more annoying. Not that Lane is bad, but its the second time she made it past someone who looked better than her. Meiko/Mercedes is easily the best match in the tournament so far, and I can honestly only see the semi-finals and final maybe beating it out when its all said and done. Despite not going as far this year I think this year's tournament was a far better showing for Mercedes just for this match alone. Definitely the best episode so far if only for Toni/Hiroyo & Meiko/Mercedes. I wouldn't quite go that far with it, probably just under a MOTYC. Offhand I would say its a top five women's match in WWE this year. Its well worth checking out.

The Ascendant Challenge for this week is total bullshit, especially seeing as how Hunters are the only class that can't fucking fly, float, or glide. EDIT: I did finally beat it though it was a pain in the ass. The fight isn't too difficult, but all that damn jumping is so annoying. That is the most any of these challenges have killed me so far. I did find Toland though and get the lore triumph so I can only complain so much. Still these jumping challenges are pain in the ass for me even when using the Stomp-EE5.

There is some new dialogue and its is another chance at the secret Taken boss under the bridge if you missed him the first time.

Probably not. Its clear Crimson Dawn was made for Solo and maybe the spin-off movies in that time period in general. None of the ongoing comics are really covering that time period.

This could end up the best episode yet with those first three matches.

Honestly, I think this is giving Sasha too much credit. I'm not sure any of the Sasha/Charlotte matches were better than the best Charlotte/Bayley matches or the WM match with Asuka. To try to put over the random Raw match with Sasha as Asuka's best match is kind of insulting. That was no where near the level of Asuka's matches with Ember, Charlotte, or Nikki Cross. And Nia's best match is probably either the first one with Bayley or the gauntlet match which Sasha was only a part of. I was actually thinking about this last night after my post. I probably agree on Asuka being the best. I think its a little early to say so on Kairi unless we are counting work outside of WWE. I feel like Ruby is a little overrated. Cross, I feel is probably a bit limited by her character. I think Shayna is still figuring some things out, but is easily ahead of Cross and Ruby at the moment.

Knocked out the daily and weekly flashpoints for Mercury. Did the daily for Vangaurd as well. Kind of wondering if there was a screw up with the Wanted bounties weekly because I see the Gravetide Summoner is this week's big bounty again. That makes no sense since we just had him last week and there are big Wanted bounties for other planets we haven't hit yet. Did the Corsair relic mission again. Petra and the Corsair actually recognize that its the same shit they did three weeks ago with the corsair giving an extra bit of info on the relics this time around.

Honestly, whether its due to booking or whatever I actually think Charlotte is easily the most consistent of the four. I love Becky, but I think she is actually the most overrated with little proof that she is on the same level as the other three outside of that one match with Sasha. Part of that is definitely on booking, but even in terms of dealing with lesser opponents I think the others have her beat. When she is at her best I actually think Sasha probably does take the lead though she is in a weird place where her trying to go 90s joshi level at times has been both a success and a hindrance to her. I think Bayley is probably the best a WWE's regular style, but she is also the worst at execution.

Honestly, I think she would be fine with Cole or Graves. She was better than JR last year during the MYC. That said Beth pretty good so I'm happy she is doing it instead. Pretty sure they have mentioned it every week. The focus has just been on SSD recently. I expect after that we will see bigger build up for Evolution. They have been treating this as a regular ppv in terms of build.

Fabulous Truth vs. Almas/Vega was fun. Looking forward to AJ/Joe though its weird that the WWE title match feels at best like the third most important feud on the show. It was nice seeing Becky/Charlotte get the main event spot again. Really hope their match at SSD gets plenty of time. It feels like the biggest feud on SDL.

Go watch it already.

Ruby/Rousey was solid. Alica/Bayley was fun while it lasted. I was happy to see AoP destroy B-team. Elias getting nuclear heat was amazing. Braun/Dean and Seth/Drew were both nice matches. Didn't really like them having Dean clear the air only to plant more seeds of dissent. I do like Ziggler being hinted as the weak link in the Pack. hopefully Ziggler takes the fall at SSD, leading to Drew desultory him and leaving him to be pinned by AoP in a tag titles matches. Bald HBK feels weird.

I hate you right now, you lucky bastard.

Didn't realize Mysterio was the villain for the next one. I like the costume.

I have so little faith after that first shitty trailer. Still, I have to say its embarrassing how much better that Netflix trailer is.

That was nice. Loved story about Mark Henry and the Andre story.

Why are you're exotics still in you vault? RIPPA, you do realize you can pull any exotics or normal weapons/armors (save non exotic Forsaken content due to random rolls) you've found from the collection lists, right? They are stronger than your old shit at this point and exotic weapon even keep your masterwork features.

I've had a it a few times. Didn't care for it the first time I used, but that was for PvE. Is it better for PvP? Xur is kind of worthless right now. I'm surprised you are still going to him since his exotics are always goign to weaker than ones you find in the wild and at best might equal ones from your collections list.

I had no idea that was a PS4 exclusive. I don't think I ever used it since I didn't care for the look that much. This amuse me since before JT suggested Crimson I was kind of annoyed at hand cannons (my main weapon) not being worth a crap in Crucible. Now I just switch to Crimson. I don't think I ever got the kinetic kills or precision kills bounties until using it.

Yeah I recall someone at 509 wanted to join me on Nightfall when I asked there last weekend. I would have loved to help, but you really do need to be at a level where you can actually do some damage first.
