Destiny 2

Most of my stuff is relatively spikey gear from the previous seasons' rewards. Pretty much aimed for 90 recovery and tried to get other stuff up where relevant (disc on grenade builds etc), but didn't lose too much sleep over perfect stats and didn't bother replacing anything due to the masterwork cost.

Masterwork a few exotics this season and last when I got better rolls, but that's about it.

I’ve long been meaning to do a sort of my vault. I have a habit of tossing anything that may be interesting, yet not in a pressing manner, in there for later examination. Which obviously never happens.

Doing some build crafting is also on the list. I’ve a Gambit set and general PvE set but want to build a stasis PvE suite for mass crystal madness.

I’d love if one of the inventory sites crafted an Alexa skill; Alexa, “Gambit armor on” would be the tits.

“Alexa, stop, fucking stop!” as Arina Grande plays

I have a habit of deleting stuff I don't need, so my vault is mostly empty, aside from all those currency stacks and whatnot. The only other things I've kept are some old Solstice armor and the Forge weapons (always thought I'd do a Niobe Labs run, but since it's impossible now, I could well delete them).

This can help with vault management. It picks through your vault and suggests things for deletion, and then spits out a DIM query at the end that you can paste in and it'll highlight the stuff you selected so you can delete it in game:

The d2 armour picker website also has "armor clustering" as a tab which will bundle together armor pieces with similar rolls for you. You can export it as a DIM query as above too.

My vault is relatively heavily curated armour wise so it's maybe 1/6 to 1/3 of the 300 things in there. The rest is allll guns.

Also: If you don't have it, Ada-1 is selling Protective Light today which is one of the best and staple mods to use in hard content. 2 energy void mod that basically gives you massively increased defense when your shields are destroyed if you are charged with light.

My postmaster is historically just 50 enhancement prisms and 10 ascendant shards.

Or at least it was until making one of each dawning cookie accidentally pushed my stack of shards out. Having to build that up again. Back up to 5

Yeah I could do with building a surplus of those materials too. I've always been too frivolous with them, especially Ascendant Shards which I just can't help but spend on any old shite as soon as I get my hands on them.

guess who just accidentally deleted another stack of ascendant shards from the postmaster

I remember seeing here a few days ago people needed to do the mission variant of The Corrupted. I've just clocked that I've still got that sat in my tracker incomplete from years ago, so I'm happy to team up to get that done if it's still needed.

Tried the new dungeon with the boy before giving up at the first boss as it was getting a little too infuriating. Anyone tried it?

Cheers, we're going to give it a few more tries together first. I take it that it's definitely possible with just 2 people?

Yeah, though you're going to have a tougher time. I've managed it Solo, though it took me a few hours. I'm planning to try a solo flawless run at some point. Your best bet for damage against the ogre is going to be Linear Fusion Rifles with the Particle Deconstruction mod from the artifact on (LFRs work best on both major bosses of the dungeon, Sleeper Simulant works best if you have it). If one of you is a warlock you can stick a well of radiance down around where the left room you can open up is and blast away from in there with relative safety.

Thing is unless you're routinely doing endgame stuff like GMs or doing Day 1 raiding there's not a huge need to have builds ready, I guess. 

GM Nightfalls are pretty much the best way to get those shards. Particularly this week, Lake of Shadows despite having a billion champions is probably the easiest one and you can run it in 15 minutes. 15 minutes per ascendant shard ain't bad. But it takes quite a bit of building and having the right mods so you don't get deleted by adds. Have to turn my frame limiter down to 60 so that some of the attacks don't completely destroy me (things like taken blight balls, knight fire attacks etc do increased damage at high frame rates...)

I got some amusing clips from yesterdays runs.

That strike is good for comedy deaths. Playing regular nightfall last night and had a comedy loop of being blasted off the bridge then revived right into another blast
