I don’t play Destiny but i’ve read up on the corridors of time over the past few days and my biggest disappointment is the map’s euclidean after all.
Idgi the new exotic looks great. The constant tug of war between accusations of “recycling” and disappointment when it’s not the Old Thing is baffling.
I would like a new secret mission but the appeal of Zero Hour was Zero Hour itself.
The weakest part of Shadowkeep is the moon itself - it feels rudimentary next to the Tangled Shore and Dreaming City.
I am three massacre medals away from Reckoner
I think the disappointment mainly comes from people wanting the reward at the end of the huge community-wide puzzle to be something worth using
Also from reading articles from both before and after the resolution they likely expected the surprise puzzle to have a surprise reward instead of the one they already knew was coming.
I haven’t finished the quest but a 3-burst kinetic fusion rifle looks cool as hell.
After Whisper’s OP-to-nerf history I don’t think we’d get Mythoclast back with anything resembling its original power. Divinity, Anarchy, and 1KV feel very powerful but they’re situational.
Bastion is such a weird gun too. It’s not a fusion rifle so much as a fusion shotgun; each shot in its burst even has the patented shotgun pattern for spread.
It’s astonishingly weak from what I can tell. Useful maybe for close-range major killing, but you could just take a rapid-fire shotgun instead. Without a strong utility perk (it can’t even break shields with one burst!) I can’t see myself using it.
Oh and getting it was the last thing I needed for my season badge, so I just gotta wait for the triumphs i can do and I’ll have Savior
I really want Reckoner and I have all the armor pieces necessary for it, but my god the grind just seems so steep and frustrating. Ten Gambit Prime games a day for a month sort of stuff if I solo.
the burst kinetic fusion sounds cool until you try to use it and you realize that a burst-fire shotgun that has abysmally-sharp damage falloff, a horrible spread pattern, and has to be CHARGED is actually just A Bad Shotgun
It’s fairly ok in pvp but it’s just straight-up trash in pve
Kinda funny to me that the game lore says “This was your FAVORITE WEAPON and then you DIED”
I can’t see it getting much use in PvP over a well-rolled Erentil or Wizened. Shotguns outperform it and you can use the kinetic slot for a godly PvP exotic instead like Last Word
yeah exactly
or just run Sparebender like everyone else
Invader and sentry weren’t bad because their objectives don’t run counter to typical strategies for those roles. 40 giant blockers for collector and 50 HVTs for reaper are an unavoidable grind (two giant blockers and one HVT per match), so start killing HVTs now if you’re playing prime anyway. I’m having to play like a jackass with Telesto to get massacre medals.
If you’re often hitting the objectives for the curated rolls to drop it’s a surprisingly rewarding grind - lots of curated Sole Survivors from army of one medals and last man standing from locksmith.
Objectives for curated rolls? This is news to me, do you have a link to info on that?
The curated Spare Rations isn’t great so it’s a nice 7 cores each time
I still need to pick up a good Rations
I do have a Waking Vigil with Sureshot, APR, and Opening Shot though, so I have that going for me
I have a RH/KC rations with good range that I never use bc I rarely feel like I’m doing well with it.
Still trying for a Subsistence/Swash moon SMG most evenings at the moment, I think it’ll make me happy
I’m not a fan of Subsistence - the reserve penalty is too much for me - but I can respect people who like it. They are far more daring than I.
I’m just too lazy to reload
Also I’m into the Huckleberry but want my kinetic slot back
Congratulations on having the rarest title in the game!
