J.T. Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Ha! There is a 2500 point Microsoft Rewards punchcard that you can cash in after you buy 1K Silver and participate in shitty Guardian Games. Fuck that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 I will say this - this year's Guardian Games having class specific playlists is fun Running 3 Titans is just big meaty men slapping meat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 I took Fallout's advice and grabbed the Platinum Nightfall card and yeah... they weren't lying. Super easy. Finished it in one strike. Turned it in and go the Heir Apparent catalyst quest. Then bought another one and completed it again in one Nightfall (on the lowest difficulty too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Yeah GG is way the hell better this year. Its fun running through strikes with your class. The Gold and Platinum card for Strikes/Nightfalls are super easy so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 We will see what today is like - I feel like all the Hunter mains are gonna switch to Titans today since Titans finishing last won't have any modifiers (at least if I understand everything correctly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) You guys are saying that GG is fun so that I will reinstall out of curiosity and see what's what. Not gonna happen. Edited April 22, 2021 by J.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Oh no - I would never imply anything like that. Since after about 3 days of just doing strikes, crucible and gambit I am positive I am gonna cry It would probably take something on the quality of menagerie to hint at your returning. (Or at a minimum - waiting for Vault of Glass to come back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Yeah, GG is fun, but I doubt I will be anywhere near as active in it by the time the weekend rolls around. It definitely isn't the thing we expect you to reinstall for, especially with how much the story makes your blood boil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) The story still makes me unbelievably angry. I am surprised by how much it still annoys me. Edited April 21, 2021 by J.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Saw a video of Aztec testing out the Heir Apparent catalyst with his buddies. The shield is around 4x stronger now, and even a good amount of arc weapons have trouble breaking through. Adored takes 2 shots to even break the shield. It can also stack with some of abilities that give shields. Only the flip side stuff like Witherhoard will still kill you. Black Talon, Lament, Eyes of Tomorrow, Acrius, and probably a couple of other will still straight up nuke a person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Little irritated that they jumped back to a strike day instead of doing Gambit like they were supposed to. I had bought a comp card for Gambit in anticipation so had to finish that first before doing another Nightfall card I hate Gambit so much but still haven’t finished all the challenges so the grind continues. I am gonna end up getting Dredgen a second time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Supposedly dataminers have discovered that the next season will be called Spoiler Season of the Splicer Not sure why I am spoiling that since it gives away absolutely nothing but there ya go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I mean it could be bs. Beyond that it takes months to make this stuff so I doubt streamers had anything to do with it if it does go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 God Damn this is a gorgeous game Definitely is speedier now on the Series X - even so much that my wife noticed it as I was loading in Played 3 Crucible matches since that is the daily Guardian Game focus. Seem to be a little better. The truest test will be a Gambit match since that has the most "enemies appearing out of thin air" of any part of the game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Yeah, games optimized for S/X are gorgeous. I am looking forward to Mass Effect: LE and the S/X port of a hopefully less broken Cyberpunk 2077. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 For a half a second it teased like I was gonna have to play the opening story mission again and I was like "well I am never playing this game again". Especially after having to sign the user agreement AGAIN But it finally loaded up my old characters and we were all good. Also am getting confirmation of what I thought were errors on my side due to older an console but instead are just because Bungie's servers suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Tried GM Nightfall for the first time two times week. One was the Arms Dealer a few das ago where I fucked up bad and died constantly. The other was Insight Terminus where I did way the fuck better, but we sadly failed during the boss fight. Might try again tonight since I would like to get an adept Palindrome if possible.

Eivion Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 And to the surprise of no one, of course my first successful GM does not land me an adept weapon. It does still feel nice to achieve after failing the first 3-4. Still would have liked the damn weapon. Palindrome is one of the better feeling handcannons right now so an adept version of one of nicer rollouts I got would have been neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 I feel a little more comfortable possibly hooking up with randos in a LFG to do Grandmasters and Legendary Lost Sectors now that I know that (theoretically) my connection won't be shit. I just have to get the motivation to do so. The end of season lull has set in Did get the Guardian Games sparrow yesterday (not that I ever plan on using it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
