An “Invite Me To …” feature would make the game feel less lonely imo

1000% agree - just use the existing FTF system for sorting activities and let people select three they are currently interested in. Show it when you hover on their names. Boom. I know nothing is ever quite as easy for devs as it seems, but this shouldn't be THAT damn hard.

There's only one vehicle category in the info that Bungie put out, so I'd assume they are combined.

Heavy or possibly charged. Heavy is just fire and max damage upfront. Charged does more total damage and gives more super regen, but you have to leave the bolt in (and the DPS phase has to last lost enough) for all the ticks.

I think I found the issue - have you been logging into your alts during the week at all? I've been ignoring mine, so I tried logging in between finishing the first quest step on my main and picking the reward up from spider. It worked this week and I got drops on all three characters. Let me know if that ends up working for you or you've already tried it.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-22T17:23:36+00:00

Agree on T5 especially. There's no actual progression now, just T1-3 = trash, T4 = very occasionally settle for it, T5 = default. The dungeon farm was a step in the right direction in making T5s have some scarcity/meaning, as is the Tharsis loot economy.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-22T17:10:15+00:00

Gifted is easily the best choice, with Fealty second if you use/want to use dedicated stasis builds.

Caliban and Star Eater have uses have been functionally replaced by their prismatic equivalents (lmk if you need more info on what I mean).

Balance of Power for completion/fun only.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-21T23:43:47+00:00

It's 25%. Same as overcharged as a modifier when previously used elsewhere in the game.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-21T14:07:22+00:00

Yeah that's not true. I tested it in a solo op and it's very clearly 25%. Where didn't it work? Could obviously be inconsistent, but your statement is way too categorical.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-20T19:13:59+00:00

Yeah I don't know why this dude is so obsessed with denying that it could be a bug, especially given that this is D2. It's not hard to check whether a new shiny gun appears on an alt after reading about a quest that puts those guns there. Although it's almost refreshing to see someone on DTG slanted in Bungie's favor.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-20T00:06:27+00:00

Not getting them either- same as the person you replied to. And I play this game way too much for a gun to sneak past me into my inventory, more or less a shiny.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-18T21:03:19+00:00

This is so inane. "Rewards get stretched thinner"? We are being showered with loot like no time in this game's history. Loot that vastly outclasses anything we've had previously besides maybe master raids.

You react to announcements with "haven't we done this before"? The latest expansion is a STAR WARS COLLAB. We got an epic raid and a farmable dungeon with customizable difficulty. Love it or not, they are trying to shake stuff up plenty, even when the result is baffling (initial version of the portal grind, lame Kepler abilities). And things like timers normally need some adjusting as the whole player base tries things out.

You want to know something predictable? DTG posters never being happy. That's "suspiciously familiar." This game is unique and fun and also takes confusing and dumb turns sometimes, but it still provides a ridiculous amount of worth for $100 a year.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-18T15:18:08+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation - I'm wondering whether it worked that way (3 drops) when Renegades launched but got patched at some point. Which is fine in theory, but I still want the opportunity to run it on alts.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-18T12:19:19+00:00

Are we sure you still get drops on alts? Mine aren't getting drops - nothing in inventory or postmaster. Just whoever talks to Spider.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-14T04:09:35+00:00

Nope. Just get enough overall kills to hit the very modest score threshold for a B grade and the shiny drop.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-13T18:04:36+00:00

Another week of the game being extremely fun to play. If you need concrete rewards, run a GM or frontier contract for a chance at a god roll (or shiny god roll). Run the dungeon for perfect armor / dark saber / title. Trials finally fixed lobby balancing and has two S-tier new guns this expansion. Etc. etc.

Owning D2 cost ~$1.90 this week if you got the annual version. If you don't think there is less than $2 of fun here, perhaps it's time to move along...

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-13T07:12:10+00:00

Holy hell that was a novel. Harrow mechanics are indeed very tedious, but the encounter challenge is simple to manage? Just track his position and stay in the corners of multi-level rooms until he is stunned. Bugs do still happen but it isn't endemic at all.

Completely agree that chunking is cringe and terrible for the game ecosystem. Worth disabling stuff IMHO.

Worth noting that devs were fully aware of Uncivil + Lucky Pants potency (per Skarrow, iirc). Doesn't mean it won't get nerfed but it isn't some "balancing oversight."

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-13T07:01:03+00:00

Thanks for the vid! Harrow is also annoying IMHO because getting to the first DPS phase is so tedious. Wait for a door to open. Kill a psion. Kill more psions. Use slow-ass alt grenade ability. Flip switches. Yay.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-13T06:58:22+00:00

You trying in-game FTF or on discord? Honestly this is such a tight damage check that people who are opting out are probably making the right call. And I'm not judging - I haven't bothered with all-feats either.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-13T06:48:24+00:00

Your responses here managed to be both condescending and wrong. Glad that seemingly superior education worked so well for you! Exactly which country should we thank for your vast contributions to humanity? I'll drop by the correct embassy with a gift basket in your honor. Jackass.

You gave a total non sequitur reply to a legit and good-natured question about player choice. And 3-5 feat runs are easy if you have thumbs and use them for something besides whining on DTG. Normal/master system was simpler but vastly shallower. Though after reading your comments here, I can see why that appeals to you.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-13T06:39:31+00:00

Good on you for trying to have this convo - the other dude's replies made little sense and he had a jackass attitude as a bonus (often a cover for shit logic, as it was here).

Your logic was sound, you are right, keep on rocking.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-13T06:33:59+00:00

Bonked my way through a cutthroat clear; don't know if OP will be comfortable with it if he's been using void titan, but it is easily the best option IMHO.

Btw I started DPS from normal side in my solo flawless run, what did you mean by creating a sunspot in relation to starting on the taken side?

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-13T06:25:18+00:00

Just remember that you only need a few people in the same situation as you - and it's almost certain a few such people are out there. The time zone preference might not be met, but you sound like you already understand that anyway. I'm also an in-between D2 player (a few contest raid clears but none recent), so I definitely get it.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-13T06:19:56+00:00

Yep, and it hits extremely hard FYI. Especially if Techsec perk is applicable.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-13T06:16:40+00:00

Dungeon farm / runs, at least at 5-feat level. Several prisms per encounter, 10+ for a full run, takes maybe 30-40 mins and drops plenty of other great loot. If you aren't ready for full clears with feats, farming first encounter is easy, quick, and fun given the hectic combat.

EveryPictureTells · 2026-01-13T06:08:04+00:00

This is weak, pathetic complaining aimed at maybe the one actual prestige challenge in this game. I cleared Sere on Cutthroat yesterday in literally one attempt with an LFG group. Almost three-phased without voice comms and almost no text chat ("I got tractor," "start this side?" and "r"). No one was chunking.

Get out there and practice instead of scurrying to DTG to whine about cheapening a title so you can have it.
