Sorry for the posting spree but just a heads up: if you haven't visited Xur yet, you should absolutely grab the Dire Promise and Main Ingredient from him for PvP this week, they're fantastic rolls. There's also an excellent PvE Bottom Dollar.

I like that now Xur can sell weapons that used to be locked behind activities (I'm pretty sure Bottom Dollar only dropped from Gambit, and since I haven't played it in months, I missed it the first time). Gives me an actual reason to visit him every week.

That dire promise that Xur was selling is very similar to my one (even down to the masterwork)... I used to be reasonably OK with that paired with a snapshot/qd beloved, which is a pretty glowing endorsement for a gun considering how crap I am at PVP!
For some reason I've been avoiding legendary lost sectors like the plague since BL launched, as none of the exotics apart from cuirass really piqued my interest (and I wasn't really playing titan at the time). Decided to give it a try yesterday morning (K1 communion) and they're actually pretty decent fun when you get into the zone. Ended up filling my titan's engram slots with umbrals and stocking up on exotic engrams and got the leg and arm ones already, so can grab cuirass at reset today and will move on to farming the other two characters when I can be bothered filling my engram slots on them.

I already had a great Dire Promise but I swapped to xur's one just because it has high cal rounds which flinch like crazy. My Fatebringer is better on paper due to the range though I don't like how the recoil looks on it.
Legend LS are honestly quite easy once you're in the right light range. I don't even bother with matching champion mods usually due to stuff like particle deconstruction.
Pro tip: if you fill up your engrams, the exotic drops go the postmaster. When you decode the engram from postmaster, it'll decode to whatever the current MASTER LS is dropping. So you can stock up when it's an easy legend LS like Bunker E15 or something (or chamber of starlight you can cheese in like 60 seconds), then wait until the Master one is the type you want and decrypt it into what you need.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing with engrams. It threw me a bit when it decoded as legs on arm day until I figured out that it was decoding based on the master schedule.
That's pretty much my exact dire roll funnily enough. Don't think I was even farming it back in the day, it just dropped and looked decent so I started using it.

For anyone going for this week's challenge "Wayfinder's Voyage V", the description is wrong, you need to defeat Scorn with Bows, not Taken. I found that out after I did 2 Taken Lost Sectors.

Yeah, saw that on Reddit straight away thankfully. Use trinity ghoul while you do the shattered realm and it's done in no time. The other one for destroying stuff with the sceptre exotic didn't seem to be tracking though. I'm just waiting until I've unlocked everything before I try to tackle stuff like that, which will hopefully be patched by then. Duffking - yeah, 2 shots from sleeper seems to make quick work of most champs unless you get a really annoying overload one that pisses off and hides somewhere.

Woop, Adept Icarus dropped for me from the Trials Flawless chest.
3 weeks of flawless in a row, that'd never have happened before.

Don't sleep on the Seventh Seraph auto rifle at Xur this weekend. Seems like perfect Nightfall anti-barrier material.

Holy fuck the servers are in a miserable state right now. Got disconnected during my first Astral Alignment run with the final boss at half health, and while I could finish the second run, the completion didn't count and the chests gave me no loot (did probably deduct the consumable though). On to the third run… 🙄

I had the same thing last week. Two and a half runs just to get the bloody thing to progress. Pretty sick of that activity already and wouldn't play it at all if I wasn't forced to to progress the story.

Final boss, unless they've fixed it, is bugged. If you kill too many adds in the middle it just breaks and boots you.

Did they blow the story too early? There are still like twenty weeks left to the season, I can't see how they could stretch it further. I've already maxed the compass. And the Astral Alignment and Shattered Realm got pretty boring already.

It's done now, you'll get events through until after xmas (halloween, the yawning, moments of triumph), then the anniversary content and the epilogue.
Astral Alignment is probably the most pointless seasonal activity they've done. There's no reason to do it.

That'll be the epilogue. Think season of the splicer.
You can see by the triumph progress. It's all done until the end week or two of the season in all likelihood.

Hello. I’ve installed this and am working through the intro. Where are you folks playing? I’ve set up cross-play for my character on Xbox and Steam.

Have the triumphs for the realmwalker title changed to secret for anybody else? One should be for caches in shattered realm and one for mysteries.

I've played this season a lot more than any of the others. Really enjoying it. Might be because exotics seem to drop like crazy, as do catalysts.
Finally got my hands on Erianna's Vow - what a beast.

Well, that's that. The Tangled Shore and the Forsaken campaign will be vaulted when WQ launches. I guessed it would happen eventually.
Dreaming City stays, and the Warden of Nothing strike too. They are also vaulting most of the year 4 seasonal content, except for the Proving Grounds strike, and Battlegrounds will also be mixed together with the free strike playlist.
I imagine that means they are either wrapping up the Fanatic's story before the end of the season, or he will officially join Xivu Arath's forces.

They should ditch battlegrounds and keep harbinger and presage.

Yeah, absolutely. I played a few battlegrounds to fill my inventory with umbrals prior to lost sector farming and dear god they're all fucking awful (apart from the enemy density, which is about the only thing they got right)
Presage on the other hand I'd still happily run weekly for a pinnacle.

askew - it's a mix of PC and Xbox for me. No idea what my new Bungie username is though, think I added it a few pages back. If you're playing on your shiny new PC you should get the beyond light campaign for free next week with game pass (presumably a Windows store download though, so ugh!)

Does anyone want to sherpa someone that has not done either the Last Wish raid or the Shattered Throne before they go?
I quite like the Tangled Shore. Bought content becoming unusable is becoming a thing now.

Last wish and shattered throne should be staying - they're both dreaming city related which isn't getting vaulted.

Yeah, defo. Didn't mean to derail that. I'd be up for last wish at some point if there's a decent (and very patient!) sherpa.
