J.T. Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) That tweet thread is the best. I love DMG's stern reply to the guy that wants One Eyed Mask to be broken again. DMG reminding everyone that he mains a hunter does not help the cause to counter the conspiracy theory that the devs are pro-Hunter. Edited December 22, 2022 by J.T.

Until the Golden Gun upgrade in Solar 3.0 and Gyrfalcon PvP nerf leading to a massive PvE buff I kind of felt Bungie's development of Hunters vs. Titans and Warlocks was enough to kill those conspiracies as we rarely get shit anywhere near as broken or good. We are also still the slowest class despite said class being about movement speed. Did the Seraph Station mission solo last night. That was neat though also weird since the fighting was the easiest part. Fighting for survival was much harder in Presage last year. Its was more about puzzle mechanics than anything. Its also weird that the entire mission is basically training for Deep Stone Crypt. Feels like they are really wanting people who never raid like myself to finally try it. Have to admit it is the first time I have ever gotten the feeling I might be able to do a raid even without a mic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 I feel much better about it now that I know how all 3 mechanics work as opposed to watching raid videos and kinda understanding. I think it was dmg who said that they purposely did the mission so that it wasn't timed to make it more accessible but purposely have triumphs for faster completions for the folks who want the time pressure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Just tried the Legend version of Serpath Station. Its playing by legendary campaign rules to a degree though it looks like you can be revived more than once during an encounter so not as bad. Had to stop halfway through because the ass who started the fireteam on Bungie's site ran off for no reason. Still definitely a 3-person mission to run though I'm sure Esoterikk has already soloed it just to embarrass everyone.

J.T. Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) I love Byf. His relentless pursuit of lore just points out how bad the story side of the game has become. I remember when filling out the gaps in my Codex was the most important reason for me to play the game and now Bungie has managed to screw that up by bundling it all into the grind.

It is still amusing though for his reactions. Glad I didn't spoil this week's story as I had no idea you hadn't caught up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 I had caught up before I posted that post so no worries Just another reminder that I never ever want to get on Ana Bray's bad side 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I loved that scene. Pissed off Ana is the best Ana. Was nice to see everything laid out finally in Clovis's plans and what Rasputin is and how he has grown. Didn't realize it was pre-guardian Ana who started his change. Learning some about Osiris's history with the Iron Lords was neat as well. No wonder he had a bit of Rasputin can go fuck himself attitude when he talked to him a few years back.

Most of Rasputin's development during the Golden Age and Pre-Golden Age was codified as lore in the D2 Warmind expansion as well Codex entries from Dead Ghost fragments added to D1 in the Taken King expansion. You'll learn a lot about the Bray family as well as Dr. Mihaylova, the Russian cosmonaut that was a member of the Ares 1 mission to Mars and made First Contact with the Traveler. The system and diagnostics AI for Aries 1, R. designed by Mihaylova eventually becomes Rasputin after being modified by Clovis-Bray.

Eivion Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Apparently Revision Zero decided to take Telesto's place as the weapon that fucks the game up. Much of the recent error issues and bugs somehow tie back to it. They opted to disable the API again over the weapon due to not even being sure disabling RV would actually temp fix the issues.

RIPPA Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 And since they don’t think they have a fix until beginning of next week - I will probably focus on planning God of War since I don’t have the patience to use Reddit to run Legendary Serph Station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 (edited) I was listening to his newest vid last night. It was an impressive combination of bewilderment, curiosity, happiness?, and annoyance. Apparently he had already or started filming several other vids going into important details this week's story surrounded only for the big reveals to throw him off completely. Poor man not only had his vacation interrupted but also lost out on timing with his vids. Edited December 29, 2022 by Eivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 API has been turned back on Apparently the fix implemented is causing a visual glitch on weapons when you craft them but it is only visual. Bungie says the visual issue will be fixed in a later update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 With the API back on - found some folks to do Legendary Seraph Shield It was an adventure - one of the guys was clearly was doing the exotic catalyst mission like I was but the other dude I don't had ever even done normal Seraph Shield before Got a little dicey at the final boss fight as we were out of revives during the last damage phase but fortunately managed to not fuck up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Finally got it done just now and the team was so much noticeably damn better. It did however take 3-4 tries, but no one ran off so it was all good. That final fight with Praksis is a lot harder and somehow more enjoyable. I do wish they gave him just a pinch less health, like maybe 1/6 less. Feels weird pounding a boss with supers, Ghallys, and other rockets only for him to still have a good third of his first health bar still left.
