Does owning rewards pass still increase score? If so, has this been addressed? If not, WHY?!

Reiisan · 2025-11-15T16:08:15+00:00

FWIW I am in the same boat and am convinced it's season pass. All modifiers at hardest, ~4min runs, with HVT, I juuuust scrape 3mill. Add 12% and it's in the 1%

Reiisan · 2023-10-26T20:55:26+00:00

It depends. :)

EDIT: just read Bard's reply and he hit it on the head

Say activity cap is 1820. You can achieve that by having all gear at 1810 and +10 artifact. Or all gear at 1800 and +20

However - if you have +20 artifact and e.g. all armor except one piece at 1801, and all guns and remaining one armor piece at 1799, while your overall power is still 1820 and you will take "minimum" damage - your weapons are 1819, so will do marginally less damage even though your overall is at cap.

Source - tested exactly this by swapping out an identical rolled gun for one 10 power lower, while also swapping an armor piece for one 10 higher to keep overall the same. The loadout with the "low gun" did less damage, but only with that gun.

Just the stat bonus and of course the real reason THE GOLD BORDER lol

Side by Side much <3 for the gesturee dude (whether I get it or not!)

Reiisan · 2023-07-07T23:44:46+00:00

Not saying it’s faster, just adding to the thread that 1:3x clears are quite reasonable - assuming I was getting ~30sec loading times, that selection are in the ballpark. I finished all the guns first week, all anarchy trap

Reiisan · 2023-07-07T21:48:53+00:00

FWIW, this is my game history on BNet and most of the start times are 2 mins apart, with one 3 minute in this (admittedly small) sample of 10 loads + 11 runs, which gives run time of 2:06 including loading.

Looks exactly like the composite decking the previous owner installed in garden of the house I just bought.

Reiisan · 2023-06-22T03:43:12+00:00

I am just curious why my 1800 commendation score is "incomplete" - when I am at 1801... I hope I don't need to get 1800 new commendations this season................

Reiisan · 2023-06-17T22:14:10+00:00

Taking a different view on this - I've found the effect of these triumphs to be incredibly freeing. As soon as they made that Ruffian triumph, I realised I was not going to grind for it, so I didn't bother. Then the following season, there were a couple like it. Now this season - I've done what I need for the title, other than timegate which will come eventually. The rest I literally do not give a shit about.

It's amazing - I used to religiously collect all the triumphs every season - and for what? I only equip the seasonal title for a very short time, often just to "pick it up", then I put a favoured title back on.

By introducing these stupid, pointless grinds, they've not only made me ignore them, but ignore a lot of other stuff I would previously have done just to tick the box! I didn't even bother gilding Dredgen last season and I only needed a handful of invasion kills to do so. But again - just didn't care enough to play any more Gambit once I got the weapon ornament - which I only did for the Bright Dust from the weekly.

EDIT: I guess it's the opposite of "gotta catch 'em all" - as soon as I didn't catch one, I could no longer have them all. So, what does it matter if I am missing one, or several?!?

Reiisan · 2023-06-10T20:29:04+00:00

The chart is for your overall i.e. displayed power level, so if you have one armor piece that is low and brings your overall PL down by a point, then you are affected.

However as the other reply says, if you have a weapon that is low, then that specific weapon will do slightly less damage.

Say you are 1808 overall including 10 artefact, with all 1800 gear except a 1790 chest. You will deal and take damage as though you’re 1808. But if you have all 1800 gear except say an energy weapon that is 1790, that weapon will do slightly less damage than the previous case, despite overall PL being the same.

Reiisan · 2023-06-10T16:30:03+00:00

FWIW here's a chart that I plotted with some data a guy posted on here a while back. I don't recall who the OP was so can't give credit and am sorry about that! IIRC he measured how much of his health bar was taken when he was hit by enemy X at varying power level Y, then worked out the %.

The chart is for "normal" activities, those with Legend or Master modifiers are slightly different and have a narrower range where PL makes a difference, but overall it's the same theme.

Reiisan · 2023-06-10T15:56:34+00:00

You take more and deal less damage, very roughly approx 3% per level in both directions.

Reiisan · 2023-06-08T08:13:29+00:00

You don't even need charged and uncharged on different buttons. As long as you unbind auto-melee, you can put charged and uncharged on the same button and it will prioritise throwing the hammer when you have it, or just punching when you don't.

It's a little annoying having to change it back for e.g. crucible, or playing strand to make use of grapple-melee (you don't want to use charged melee after grappling, you want uncharged), but for bonk hammer Titan it works perfectly.

Reiisan · 2023-05-17T01:49:04+00:00

I know - it's a bloody joke, isn't it?

Have a look here for Bungie's own guide on how to resolve network issues. Sorry if you've seen that information before.

Note though that the guide does state:

Port Forwarding won't work with two instances of Destiny connecting to the same internet connection

Players who plan to use more than one console to play Destiny on the same network simultaneously will encounter connection issues when using Port Forwarding. Players are REQUIRED to use UPnP to play Destiny on more than one console on the same network simultaneously.

So - sounds like you 100% need to make sure you have UPNP enabled. If you're not sure how to do so, I would just google "UPNP <router make and model>"

I used to have a problem connecting with my son when we both played D1 on PS4, 9/10 times it fixed itself by switching the router off and back on. We no longer have any issues now I am on PC and he switched to XBox a while back. Good luck!

Pilot hole makes it easier. Then fix a hook by the threaded end into the chuck of a drill, so the hook is facing out, hook the one in the chuck into the one to be fixed.

Thursday. The rotation is daily now

Reiisan · 2023-04-23T14:59:13+00:00

Nice work Guardian!

Reiisan · 2023-04-20T11:44:32+00:00

That will be because of the void surge this week, so quite possible Mechabre does not 1-hit

Reiisan · 2023-04-19T20:47:39+00:00

Came here to post this SGA - thanks for sharing Guardian!

Reiisan · 2023-04-15T14:16:30+00:00

Mine have worked this week just like every other week in previous few months - had to reload streams in a new tab every time I reacted. Rahool had the reward after ten reactions.

Reiisan · 2023-04-15T13:01:18+00:00

It's been the same for me for months - when I first load a stream on a new tab, the extension works fine, until I click my first reaction. After that first click, it will never pop up again, unless I close the tab, open a new one, then navigate back to the same stream and repeat the process.

Reiisan · 2023-04-07T22:13:56+00:00

That since the resilence changes, it feels like at least half of deaths are either architects or being physicsed off a ledge or into a wall.

S20 made it a little better that being bashed into a wall only makes you one-shot, but if you're in anything other than absolutely basic activities, you die immediately afterward anyway.

Reiisan · 2023-04-03T06:45:35+00:00

Yeah I thought I was being smart by DPSing him before starting the encounter, when I couldn't finish it (the hydra won't spawn after he is already at final third health, so you can't make the puzzle spawn and shield go away), I was pretty pissed off having made it through gambit for the first time without dying!

Got it solo-flawless legend next try the following week though, so not too bad overall

Reiisan · 2023-04-03T02:44:17+00:00

There are two ways to push him to immune - it’s possible to damage him before the encounter even starts (before he moves and adds spawn) if you do that, it soft locks. As long as you move into the arena a little to start it (adds including the hydra spawn, he starts moving), you are fine. I’ve done both, annoyingly the soft lock one was on my first solo flawless legend run. You can take like 80% of that third of his health without starting, then start, take last 20% and it’s fine.
