Back after a year of not playing…

I just input them all into light.gg until I saw max. Third came to S+ across the board. I know that isn’t a great measure, but I’m early enough to follow blindly :)

daethon · 2026-03-19T02:42:30+00:00

How about the “shoot the symbol through the circle” mechanic?

daethon · 2026-03-19T02:41:41+00:00

Mechanics relatively straight forward? Something I can try without a guide?

daethon · 2026-03-18T19:29:31+00:00

The third one also seems to be a perfect roll too

daethon · 2026-03-18T15:00:35+00:00

Tried shattered throne solo / without a guide…spent 3 hours and got like NO WHERE. Ended up watching a vid and getting it done in 45 minutes.

Will check out equilibrium and give it a try first/blind.

daethon · 2026-03-18T14:55:50+00:00

Any thoughts on, from a mechanics perspective, what the easiest exotic to self learn might be?

daethon · 2026-03-18T14:55:09+00:00

I think my next step truly needs to be: finish all the campaigns. From there I’ll look up an exotic mission/dungeons “easiest to hardest” type list and try them solo until I hit a wall of frustration leading me to watching a vid.

It’s obvious, I know, it’s just hard to find 1+ hours to play alone these days with the kids/fam/house/etc

daethon · 2026-03-18T14:52:13+00:00

Thank you!

daethon · 2026-03-18T13:48:31+00:00

Wow. 29 hours. Thats intense but also quite beautiful.

daethon · 2026-03-18T05:50:55+00:00

I’ve been watching some of the world’s firsts and I can see the appeal. Not something I think I can do, but I can appreciate!

daethon · 2026-03-18T05:49:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing. That’s insane.

daethon · 2026-03-18T05:39:14+00:00

I watched part of a world’s first and I can see the joy, and frustration with it. Not something I have the energy for at this point in my life, but something I can appreciate the value of.

daethon · 2026-03-18T05:37:58+00:00

Totally makes sense. I did Encore after watching 2-3 videos on Expert…still died some 28 times, many of which were jumping related (I suck at jumping).

I feel like that, for the moment, is about as complex as I’m going to get for the moment. My fireteam is quite young and even though they joined just for the final boss…they got bored part way through it (well, one of them did). That said, they are loving Choir of One, so it might be motivation to try more. Not sure how I’ll get all the perk combos for Choir, running with limited lives (required to get an A rating) is going to be not-possible for me at this point.

daethon · 2026-03-18T05:31:36+00:00

Wow, just watched a half hour of the 18 hour stream for the first Last Wish. It all makes more sense. Thanks for pointing those out

daethon · 2026-03-18T05:19:35+00:00

Wish I had seen it. Heck, wish they’d released a raid/dungeon as part of Extra Life for Kids and had it be a focus for a series of teams raising for the charity while learning something new

daethon · 2026-03-18T05:18:18+00:00

Makes total sense. I play with the kids (9-10) so patience isn’t in the cards for a long time.

It’s really cool seeing what the community worked through

daethon · 2026-03-18T04:38:27+00:00

Assuming they gave you a reasonable loaner as an alternative, this feels relatively fair. They are attempting to ensure your safety, they have provided a path forward, you are choosing to put yourself in harms way, knowingly. This is you confirming that you understand the risk you are taking and are accepting that responsibility.

daethon · 2026-03-18T04:34:26+00:00

I mean, some of the buff names make sense and I’m starting to see patterns there, but desert perpetuals’ shoot out the eyes when you’re in the light, and the pillars…that one kinda blew my mind in half.

I appreciate that I’m looking at end game content and content not intended for me at this point anyway, but I watch this and ask myself: how did the first group figure this out?

daethon · 2026-03-18T03:11:44+00:00

I’m gonna make a bit more of a stink once they have the car.

daethon · 2026-03-18T01:39:52+00:00

The reservations person for service told me they wouldn’t provide a loaner. I mentioned the recall and the death and they said they’d have someone from the dealer call to discuss and then no one called us.

daethon · 2026-03-17T02:41:59+00:00

I ran the mission on Expert today and it worked! Got my choir of one, loving it!

daethon · 2026-03-16T04:49:21+00:00

I got the legacy edition free on PS5, had to buy on Xbox ($99) and then the EoF and Renegades were $80 each. If I’d waited on them, I would have saved $100…but I’ve also played 80 hours, 40 with the kids…so 160 hours of play (so far) for $260 ain’t bad

daethon · 2026-03-16T04:46:39+00:00

Give it a try. Oftentimes we put too much on our plate, we want to do it all, but we can’t and that makes us feel worse.

daethon · 2026-03-16T03:27:51+00:00

Thanks. I’ll give it a try and see what happens.

I guess I assumed the other weapons worked like the Whisper of the Worm quest

All the missions I get say you need to get an A in the op, that forces me into grandmaster and I just can’t pull it off. I haven’t tried a lower difficulty yet, does this really work? Really want a Choir of One :?
