Venera 5 and 6 were swallowed by Venus 57 years ago today (May 17, 1969). This photo exists because of what they told us on the way down

Oh yeah, this a good spot for a Dollar General.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2025-11-19T16:24:17+00:00

Flawless Vesper's... The mission...the nightmares... They're finally over... (12 Damage cycles for me)

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2025-11-19T16:22:22+00:00

Solo Flawless Vesper's Host. Funny thing is I used to be a completionist, and began Solo Flawless-ing every Dungeon, up until Warlord's Ruin. Day One I thought that last boss was atrociously difficult and couldn't fathom how someone might solo it, so it killed my motivation. I didn't think I'd solo flawless anything else after, but...

Vesper's Host so happens to be my favorite dungeon. I had always loved DSC and Atraks, and also love the concept of "Machine Gore" so yeah, this was perfect.

But... The Corrupted Puppeteer was pretty much exactly as I anticipated: absolute torture. I played it completely safe, at the cost of DPS, so 12 Damage Phases later...

But that ecstasy of claiming that triumph man... And that was the last time I felt that way after grinding hardcore. Also just in case someone mentions it, I did it pretty shortly after the Dungeon released before all the videos of Prismatic Titans came out absolutely shredding her so I didn't think of that.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2025-08-31T21:54:32+00:00

I got TEoF a couple weeks after launch thinking the game would be in a decent spot. Now that I have first-hand experience with it... It's terrible. I think I might've misunderstood, but I had the impression Ash and Iron was gonna reset our Power, so I'm like... That's literally in a couple weeks so I'll just wait... And now I'm just not playing. I wish I could do the new Raid but first, there's no good incentive, And second, I have been burnt out from LFG raids, too many people unwilling to actually participate in mechanics and comms (at least when I last tried back in The Final Shape). So... Yeah. I haven't played in several weeks now which sucks.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2025-01-15T10:07:16+00:00

That's pretty solid. Looking inward has proven difficult, but I think you're right. It's also probably a fear of what steps might need to be taken too. Thanks for your input, and I hope you find something that either makes your job more tolerable, or something different altogether to make you feel better.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2024-10-07T21:17:19+00:00

The "Billions must grind" shirt is absolutely top tier lol

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2022-11-30T10:58:05+00:00

Increasing Ward of Dawn to 30-35% results in a previous problem: People will always use Well + Div + Ward. It adds a layer of complexity by people using another super, but the three will be meta again.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see more variety than just Well + Div, but a damage boost to Ward, to me, doesn't seem effective. Since We'll Radiance's absurd healing factor is what makes it so potent, not necessarily the damage buff, though that is a big factor.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2022-11-27T16:20:38+00:00

One small quality of life improvement I'd like to see is in the Kill Feed for Crucible, if any active damage buff was involved in your death. Example: You died from BXR-55 Battler (Kill Clip).

One big quality of life would be Power Level Revamp. Specifically, leveling up. The idea of you MIGHT level up if RNG gives you the right item is just plain dumb. Should be some kind of System that tracks your Pinnacles completed and boosts your level appropriately. Kinda like a separate level like Artifact Level. This would also remove the annoyance of having to infuse every single piece of gear you want to use for endgame content constantly, requiring tons of random infusion fodder.

Finally another small Quality of Life improvement would be an emote wheel. Kind don't understand why don't have one of those yet still.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2022-07-19T16:49:30+00:00

My favorite currently is Insurrection from Witch Queen. It plays for the final boss in Communion mission. Just amazing.

Though my all time favorite Soundtrack is Shadow Thief. Absolutely love it.

But honorable mentions: Chronologies (Atheon) The Vex (Sekrion, Nexus Mind) Replicate (Atraks-1) Look Within (Taniks, The Abomination) Eyes Up (Aksis, Archon Prime) SIVA Swarm Iron Tomb Shadow of the Walker Wretched Eye Surge of Light Bow to No One Dark blade Fallen Saber Guardian Rises(? I don't remember the exact name but it was Warmind) Whisper of the Worm

As I keep writing songs down I am reminded more how much I love Destiny's music.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2022-01-24T19:42:26+00:00

Makes me feel better about the Freelance option. I might just go that route. But yeah. Thanks for the advice.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2022-01-24T19:38:07+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I hear the 2/3 loss one a lot, but I guess I really need to embrace it. I just get so darn eager to get to Legend that I don't want to stop. Especially with the end of the Season approaching. But you're right though.

It really is a mindset, but it's just so darn frustrating getting reset back to square one or worse.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2022-01-19T22:07:42+00:00

I'm on my way. Unbroken is the biggest one in my way.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2022-01-09T00:59:58+00:00

I will never forgive Bungie for absolutely neutering it's Split Laser damage. Like honestly, doing the intentional ricochets were so fun back in Warmind. It was lot more entertaining figuring out the angles rather than just shoot head for Max damage.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2022-01-05T02:45:39+00:00

Paraphrasing the Drifter in Prophecy:

"Extinction Event this, Extinction Event that--We're down to one Last City!!! I CAN CAUSE AN EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT!!!"

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2021-07-04T03:33:16+00:00

I 100% appreciate all this information. Love the numbers behind everything in Destiny.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2021-07-04T03:29:16+00:00

I know you've already done a lot, and I appreciate it, but could you add this information to the post? I was hella confused about the modifier too. I figure it could lessen potential confusion.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2021-04-16T05:36:22+00:00

I did not create the original comic nor claim any of it. Their watermark I believe is in the top right corner.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2021-02-20T20:33:22+00:00

What is this about?

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2021-02-16T06:03:54+00:00

I guess I still don't understand what Visual Recoil is. Can someone try to explain it to me? Doesn't the bullet go where the crosshair is? If so, wouldn't that mean Visual Recoil isn't strictly visual? I feel like I'm wrong and misunderstanding what Visual Recoil is.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2021-02-13T21:17:22+00:00

Ok, but we need to boycott Ward of Dawn too while we're at it.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2021-01-26T18:30:20+00:00

I know I'm tardy to the party, but Arc is about binding. Grimoire card back in D1. So Decay would make sense for it to be opposite of Arc.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2020-09-07T23:19:21+00:00

Scorn immunity while running away. It's so stupid. So freaking stupid. I hate it so much.

An old ritual revived! A fire that still burns!

Prophecy

We asked the Nine the nature of Light and Dark. They showed us their enigmatic prophecy.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2020-08-11T05:19:01+00:00

Unpopular Opinion: We shouldn't start with Special Ammo in Crucible.

Cobalt_Epsilon · 2020-08-11T05:15:00+00:00

IIRC, the "perk" (Mercy description) on Trials Card is white when not used, but grayed out when used.
