Calus room has a cheese spot and I don feel bad using it for what they did with this story.

Strand gets significantly better with the aspects and weapon synergy.

Void is still OP as frick on Titan. But titans strand is stupid fun and easy so I switch back and forth.

Nearing 1782 so Ill be raiding day one. Yall wish me luck. I'm sure it's going to be hours of shite.

I went into this with a team of 3 on legendary. Once we got a rhythm, we would almost get him to phase 2 then wipe. frick that. I went back in solo, cheesed it and no, I don't feel bad.

I'm at 1780 with my Hunter and won't be able to do everything before reset.

I like the new Nightfall format. Had to do it twice on Hero to get pinnacle, but at least you can do it on Hero.

The regular strikes aren't too hard. Harder than before and I noticed some different mechanics in The Arms Dealer. I liked it. Makes endgame stuff feel a bit fresh.

The loadout system is awesome.

I'm getting used to Strand but unlocking the fragments is a grind. Not as bad as Stasis, but still a grind.

Nearly one reset in, outside of the story, Lightfall is a substantial upgrade. Champion changes, build crafting changes, difficulty changes, loadouts, changes to seasonal vendors...all well done.

For those jumping off a cliff launch day, shame on you. Knee jerk reactions, though, are engrained into this community.

Yea jesus that final battle was just fricking dumb. Finally cleared it last night but damn when you fight him in the dome it is just stupid. Stuff like that just makes the fight more annoying, not more difficult but a fun encounter.

This has been a Destiny community tradition for years. I’ll admit my initial criticisms were harsh, the campaign was still corny as hell I won’t back down on that. But I do like what they have done with making mods simpler to use and not being dependent on having a particular element associated to use that mod. I do miss Argent Ordinance though, that was my baby. Maybe it’s still in there but I haven’t really gotten to heavy into build crafting yet as I’m still leveling up my shite. I love that all the harmonic siphons are available for your helmet, much easier to generate orbs consistently now.

Hit powerful cap last night and finished up the exotic quests. Just pinnacles from here out. Looking forward to the raid this weekend. We aren’t trying for competition mode but will give it a go Sunday/Monday night.

I only hit 1793, but I just played one character and didn't do any of the bounty-related rewards. That just isn't the game I want to play

I figure I'll hit powerful cap, then rotate in another character and repeat.

I plan to run contest mode Saturday. Should be fun.

Yeah I just main 1, but I had prepped like never before for LF. All three characters had stacked bounties and lost sector exotic engrams in the mailbox…last season I got bored pretty quick aside from the weekly story so I just started stacking. I made sure I did all my powerful rewards before pinnacles this past week. And over the last day or two I had some really great rng with little to no duplicates. Time to coast.

Yea I got 4 other guys from my clan who have been prepping for this weekend. All have a couple different builds we can rotate on depending on the encounter. Will have to LFG a 6th so hopefully he isn’t a total shitter. Had yesterday off of work so I spent time prepping for this weekend. Were gonna give it a go tonight and most of the day tomorrow and see what happens. 4 of us are pretty season end of content raiders, 5th guy is ok and then the 6th will be a wildcard. Should be interesting

I'm only 1780, so realistically have a ways to go.

Raid encounters have looked chaotic, but i've liked them so far. Glad i'm not seeing the damn symbols again.

Little disappointed the setting is another pyramid ship. Two raids in a row essentially the same setting is a bit of a letdown.

I get that, but I have nothing to infuse other than the base loadout if I need to change anything up and then at that point it just becomes a liability. ETA - and that was with my light level. I think i'm still like 1775 base.

I ended up LFG’ing. We made it to the third encounter but I had to drop out for IRL reasons

Seems like a pretty easy raid and this was on contest mode. People are going to speed run this like crazy in three days

Yea seems that way. I like the controlled chaos most of the encounters seem to have, but it does seem without contest it could be a pretty quick run.

Im not going to lie, this game sucks. Strand is fricking worthless. Give me grenades not fricking grapple that’s absolutely fricking worthless.

You do get grenades - two different ones - just switch to them on the class menu

I tried to get back into playing it for a little bit. Too much shite to figure out.
