Eivion Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) I figured something was up since the server started giving me me contact warning as I was finishing up my daytime run. Edited March 9, 2023 by Eivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 In the new TWAB - they revealed that in Season of the Deep, there will be a new quest (separate from the main story of Season of the Deep) that will unlock three new strand aspects (one for each class) You also get a legendary Hand Cannon. Apparently it will be based on exploring Neomuna to learn more about the Veil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 They are also pushing back the start of IB The patch to fix the invisibility bug is going live next Thursday (3/16). IB was supposed to start Tuesday So they are gonna flip flop IB and Trials of Osiris IB will now start 3/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it will be based on exploring Neomuna to learn more about the Veil Apparently it a handcannon that was used in some Lightfall/Defiance promo material. Some are bitching releasing next season. Wonder if whatever quest they have set for it was bugged because it is weird how we aren't learning more about the Veil until next season. I get the Winterbite being disabled as it super strong for Titans and a particular exotic armor they have. I'm confused on Hierarchy. Hadn't heard anything about it being bugged/broken.

Eivion Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Another bug seems to be the Void/Volatile artifact perks not working with Graviton Lance. I noticed it last night when i took it into Partition. Bungie and others don't seem to notice which probably says how little the weapon is used. Its sad seeing that its actually pretty good, particularly with volatile rounds proced. Edited March 10, 2023 by Eivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 A little disappointed that I am going to be missing a decent chunk of the raid race today between work and then having to drive home. Granted I doubt it will be over by the time I get home but still. Side note - you need to watch a minimum of 2 hours on Twitch if you want to get the free emblems.

I think it is because somehow a Citan's barricade has WAY more health than intended (there is also apparently a thing where if you shoot Wish Ender through a Citan's barricade it gets a 66% damage increase but that has apparently been around for awhile) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 I can barely pay attention but since I have had Twitch running (muted) I have earned both emblems so that's nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Datto's team just beat what appears to be the 2nd to last encounter Not sure yet what team did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Its not saltegreppo either But I am already enjoying how PISSED randos watching Twitch are that someone beat the raid in basically 2 1/2 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) The encounter mechanics were leaked. I would have been shocked had no one did beat it in less than 3 hours. Last I checked Datto was at Nezarec and Cross was at some sort of planetary encounter. Its kind of sad since Cross actually beat Datto to said encounter. I guess Datto's team just figured out the mechanics faster. Edited March 10, 2023 by Eivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Apparently it was Roen's group who got World's First (they were third in Vow) I just got home and Datto's group almost has Nezarec beat so they are almost done (basically they should have beaten him last try but bad luck on a death right before Last Stand screwed them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Datto's team just beat it and there is a bug that didn't let the fireteam leave They had to end up leaving individually It looks like they are 6 or 7 (they are also happy for the team that won it) EDIT - Punz was on the winning team and that is what is making Math Class happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Nothing obvious has opened up but we do have a new cinematic upon choosing a character with Osiris summarizing the raid now that its been beating. 7 minutes ago, RIPPA said: Datto's team just beat it and there is a bug that didn't let the fireteam leave They had to end up leaving individually It looks like they are 6 or 7 (they are also happy for the team that won it) Glad they beat it. They kept coming so close when i watching 20 minutes ago, but I got impatient and logged into the game. Edit: Have to say looking at the Hunter raid armor set it always fascinates how ugly the raid armor almost always is while also being something very unique. Like I respect the attempt to make something different that stands out, but how is it always so terrible looking. I suppose it works out in my favor though as someone who doesn't run raids.

RIPPA Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Raid Report is finally updated with the ones confirmed by Bungie https://raid.report/leaderboard/worldsfirst/rootofnightmares/normal The difference between 2nd and 3rd was 10 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 The estimate in the chat that Datto's team was Top 10 was comically off But they are also one of the teams that wants zero info on what is going on during the raid (while I know some of these teams definitely stream snipe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general consensus is that it was far too easy A lot of it - which has been building the last few raids - is that we have power creeped beyond what Bungie can actually design a Raid to be challenging for.

The mechanics for encounters were leaked. It also makes sense that people who have been doing raid puzzles for years would eventually be able to figure this stuff out more easily over time. From what I have seen it was rarely combat that made raids so hard as much as figuring out mechanics did. The hard combat version is supposed to be the master variants that come out later.
