Destiny 2

Ah, that's a bit different then. Definitely one of the more drawn out quest steps if you're mostly solo.

Anyways, grinding though it, this week's the step challenge. And not as bad as I first thought. So there.

They really are being a bit cunty with this seasonal title. Think I'll just give up on it at this point at something like 20 ruffians and 0 seasonal weapon patterns down. I just can't face it any more.

The ruffians one is bad enough. I've had a few runs where I get 0, and have even had one run where both were despawned by some trolling prick hitting 100% the exact moment they spawned.
Relying on complete RNG for the weapon patterns is just nuts. Saw someone at level 200 on the season pass who still hasn't completed that triumph.

Oh yeah, I just gave up on the throne world ones even after they buffed the drop rate in wellspring. I know they want you to grind, but no fucking way am I doing the same repetitive activity hundreds of times in the hopes of a drop.

Yeah it's crap.

I'm expecting the (justifiable) unhappy noise from reddit etc to really kick up a notch next week, maybe to the point that Bungie will do something about the drop rate but who knows. I looked at the next few weeks of weekly seasonal challenges on Braytech, next week is levelling 3 crafted season weapons to level 10, and later on 2 to level 20, and both of those are to get the upgrade tokens for the star chart thing in the Helm. Salt levels will go through the roof.

I don't mind more difficult season titles (they've been getting too easy), but not if means grinding a mindlessly easy season activity for weeks and weeks at the mercy of RNG. I've got every season title since they started but can see myself passing on this one, I'm losing interest. 

That's pretty much always been Destiny though unless you are into to the PvP or Gambit.

That's where the "open 4 chests in one run" cheese comes in I guess.

Its along the same lines as the early days of Champions in strikes. Absolutely needed signposting much better that killing them all came with a bonus. The Ruffians are even more ridiculous if anything.

They need to figure out how to either make Light Level a less blatant player-engagement trap or do away with it altogether. I've hammered this season and I could probably scrape together 1595 max. Cheesing it through 3 characters or other similar means isn't the answer either. My time should be respected by the core systems of the game.

That said I've found a clan to run endgame shit with so I'm playing it a lot more lately. Even managed to do the first Master Challenge last week which is the first time since probably Shadowkeep I've been 'on pace' with endgame activities as they drop.

I love going on YouTube and watching build videos, I'm like wow that looks amazing I'm going to give it a go. Yep I've got the exotic, fantastic let's upgrade that to 8 or 9. Put all the corrects bits of the build on..almost there just the mods to go. Oh, I hardly have any of those but I will try it anyway. Oh it doesn't work

Put a fucking mod vendor in the game, there is absolutely no reason why there shouldn't be one

Mods are cheap enough that I just bought everything whenever they were selling something I didn't have. I'm pretty sure I got all the standard, charged and warmind mods by now.

Powerful Friends is nice to have for sure, but also the one that raises agility by 20, I forget what it's called.

Got a Demo/Adrenaline Junkie Adept of the new trials shotty. Seems fun.

I love Vow. Symbol heavy mechanically but from a lore and world building perspective it was truly something else. It's a shame Rhulk will be a one-and-done as he has such a strong back story.

Their Raids have been excellent since Forsaken. Garden of Salvation gets a lot of shit but it's probably in my top 3.

Really interested to see how they deal with the Final Shape Raid.

If you need help with Duality I'm more than happy to jump in and help sometime.
