I really only need to get 100 more kills with ritual weapons to get the Moments of Triumph shell. This would be faster if my only non-dismantled ritual weapon weren't a heavy grenade launcher. And the current pulse rifle still has a little while to go. You can just pull old ritual weapons from collections. Salvager's Salvo (the special GL) for example. Wait, I can? Oh man, I'm so used to seeing that red stripe I don't even bother anymore. I can only use a few sepcific weapons, it seems, so I'm going for Chain of Command. Also I can't see Reckless Endangerment in my collection. Weird, I'm pretty sure I got all the vanguard rank weapons thus far. Might try and pull it from the legacy store.

Any weapon that has a fixed roll (so pretty much just exotics and ritual weapons) can still be pulled from collections. Exotic armour too, though it'll have a shite roll.

Yeah, it's been a while since I used my collection for anything other than exotics.

I can say with some certainty that in its current incarnation, PvP (especially Iron Banner) in this game is the worst PvP I have ever played in anything. It's embarrassing they keep shipping this trash.

Don't ask me, I haven't played PvP in a long time. Haven't even completed that competitive list starter quest Shaxx gave me.
Wasn't there a time when Bungie was trying to make it into an eSports? Guess they gave up quickly enough.

I pretty much only dip in when it's mayhem or team scorched in the rotation. Even then I usually struggle to finish enough matches for the pinnacle.

TLDR is they broke the fuck out of DMT again so on PC every player is running around with DMT auto fire hipfire headshotting everyone from 50 meters away, and the IB mode focuses on zone control, so combined with DMT and the ability spam meta it just degenerates into everyone sitting miles back plinking away with scout rifles and then when the big zone shows up 8 million Titans drop bubbles at once and grind the match to a halt

Feels like they should just drop PvP at this point. So many online games don't have any PvP, why should it be a necessity? I doubt it even makes up a sizeable portion of the player base anyway.

They've actually reached a point where 3v3 is the only remotely playable mode.
Frankly, PvP should be in the game IMO. PvE content will always be finite and PvP should be the perfect place for Bungie to retain players who might instead just go play something else. But they've clearly just stripped that whole team back to basically nobody for a few years now while they do something else.
If PvP was moderately competent it could be an absolute riot and feather in the game's cap, but it really, really isn't. Like the headline modes are 6v6 but probably half the maps were designed for both 4v4 and for when movement speed was far, far slower.
Best solution would be to make a PvEvP mode that isn't dogshit unlike gambit since if they don't want to independently balance abilities for the different sandboxes then they should build something that leans into that instead of constantly exacerbating it and never addressing obvious issues quickly. It's mind boggling that DMT buff shipped the way it did, it was obviously broken from about 1 trials round of using it. They must be barely checking this stuff in PvP and the new mode clearly wasn't played by people who are aware of the current meta.
Something like Titanfall's attrition would be killer in D2. Then for "competitive" modes they could make some kind of no abilities doodad.

Oh hey, Xur has Deafening Whisper up for sale again. Nice for new players who missed it last time or during Season of the Hunt. A great weapon for void builds and ads clearing, if you ask me.
Unfortunately it's the same roll as last time. Killing Wind and Rampage ain't bad at all, but I'd rather have ALH and Ambitious Assassin.

The best I managed to get was a wellspring/AA roll. I need to dig that out again actually, love a bit of wave frame action! Had great fun in it in the season with a mod that let void kills generate warmind cells (IIRC)

Just tried it solo out of curiosity and it's not too bad if you found the standard difficulty a little easy. Exos are marked on your hud when you get near them and you can grab the first two before the first big encounter.

I got three of them yesterday. Then wiped at the brig room. With one to go. Just like the idea of the safety line of another guardian
You have to complete the entire mission to actually get the catalysts

Yeah, found that out the hard way when my game crashed partway through Also somehow managed to miss the next two so I'll need to run it again. Can do it in about an hour if you still need it?

A wee bit. For some reason I couldn’t crouch for a good while either.

Glad you got it done, was gonna say that aside from the respawn potential it's normally an easier mission to solo legend than it is to do as a team because it scales the same way WQ legend campaign does; ie the adds get waaaay tankier.

Yeah, solo and with the solo damage class mod was a totally different experience. That felt like a similar kind of difficulty to Presage.

My play style leans towards the careless. So put me in a legend with a darkness wipe looking over me and I’ll invariably hunt down and latch on to that wipe

Would anyone be kind enough to help me through Vox Obscura so I can get Dead Messenger? Don't think I can do it alone.
I also have other stuff on my to-do list where I'd need some help (Grasp, Duality, Spire, Shattered, oh and Legend Seraph Cipher now that I have all 4 catalyst missions ready), but let's do it one by one 😄
Tonight would be great. I don't have a mic, but we could text via Xbox app? I have no idea how this is done nowadays 🤪

Might not be able to do it tonight, but hopefully can at some point over the weekend. I still need to do the legendary version of that to get the catalyst, so could maybe give that a try afterwards.

Be happy to help as well. Khanivor#6298
Finished Vox just the other day, at last. With like ten seconds to spare. Whoever decided it was a good idea to put in all those craters and hillocks during the outdoor bombardment needs a knee to the crotch
