RIPPA Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 And considering (going by last year) - they really didn't change the mechanics of the EAZ at all I will probably do enough to get my gear to purple but as per usual will not Masterwork.

Eivion Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 4-5 GM Nightfalls later and I now have a Hung Jury with Firefly. I both felt bad and kind amused since the last team I ran with did not and were wary of my non meta layout at the beginning. They were nice enough though so I do hope they eventually get there Firefly rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 I ended up (besides finishing the season story) got my one machine gun kill in IB and then actually did Mayhem instead of IB to do the seasonal challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 I just saw that they had to bring the servers down for emergency maintenance Good job Bungie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 24 hours later and they are still having to use a queue to let people in to play and error codes are still quite frequent I don't know why this is tickling me so but here we are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 August 24 will be the next Destiny 2 Showcase Outside of just throwing out "survive the truth" - nothing is known I would assume they will explain what they are going to do to fill the time till Witch Queen hits and show a little bit of Witch Queen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I just hope they can make next season interesting enough to make the wait for Witch Queen not drag too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Yeah, I will not play until there is a brand new reboot. Code bloat and horrible corporate decisions are continuing to plague D2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Yeah - via the pop up I just got, Season 15 starts the end of August (Aug 24) It was the "turn in all your Vanguard tokens!!!!" one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 I am at the point where I think the one thing that the Destiny community could agree on is the removal of Gambit So I am convinced that somehow Bungie will expand it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Pleased that despite very limited playtime this week managed to upgrade my Solstice gear from Blue to Purple Also helps that Bungie made everything easier… including the EAZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I don't dislike Gambit, but certain exotics kind of killed it due to their easy ability to take out groups during an Invasions. Beyond that the lack of anything resembling new maps or interesting gear (outside of maybe Bottom Dollar) has made it kind pointless. I got my purple gear last week, but just can't be bothered to finish the rest with all the other things that interest me be they movies, tv shows, comics, or other games. Going to try to do more this week, but I'm not sure how far I will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 There is far too much quest/bounty wise attached to Gambit. It is so frustrating. I watched Fallout's video about playing 50 Gambit matches and on some levels it made me feel better seeing the same shit happen to him that happens to me. His point about how enemies hit fucking harder in Gambit than the fucking raid was spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 In the TWIB the explained a little more about the reputation ranks Vanguard will finally move to the system that Crucible and Gambit has been using For Vanguard - you will get rep from strikes, Nightfalls and Battlegrounds. For all activities - bounties no longer give rep they will give XP. There will be activity streaks (so say you will do multiple strikes in a row - you get more rep as you go along) They are rebalancing Crucible and Gambit so that losses don't hurt your rep gain as much. Basically if you lost almost all your matches it took 4 times as long to complete something compared to someone who won most of their matches. They are tweaking it so it is only 2x as hard. They are also eliminating Valor and Infamy (they just become the regular old rep). Glory remains its own separate thing and they will eventually be adding a rep rank for Trials.

RIPPA Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Got my magnificent armor but highly doubtful I will get any glows - maybe the one for killing champions (if I read that correctly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well where it is really broken is that teams literally have Prime Evil melting builds now where they can kill the Prime before you even have a chance to invade once. This is especially irritating when they give quest bounties that are "kill Taken" since you either ended up on a team that nuke's the boss or getting the chance to shoot 2 dudes before the match ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Don't think I have magnificent armor yet. I have barely played the last week or two. The Solstice armor for Hunters just does not look good to me this year. Still will probably try to get to Magnificent if only because its also an easy way to do some of my seasonal bounties. I'm 9 away from the big bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 Yeah - as I said they made it real easy to get the stuff this year Even the glows are terrible if you have people to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Went ahead and finally finished up the Magnificent armor. Not bothering with master working any of it since it requires a decent bit of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
