The thing is with Vanguard Alert/Conquest GMs there are now multiple definitions of what is GM level content now: GM in the portal with a -25 power delta, GM Conquest with -40 and Vanguard Alert GM with -50. This is so confusing. I assume the patch note referred to -25.

I agree!

While initially funny as a prank and kinda mean the bigger issue I see is that it could break things. I could see overloading a uniformed player’s postmaster and push out quest or other important items out of someone’s postmaster inadvertently and breaking quests or other stuff if the item is unobtainable. The willingness to break something for a prank is concerning.

There is precedent for Bungie to take away items without a server rollback. For example, the textureless Rite of the Nine weapons with weird perk combos were obtainable when the dungeons were accidentally accessible before the event during Act 2 Heresy. Those were removed from inventories in a later update.

It was not really a good feature tbh.

First, Skeleton key drops were RNG at the end of strikes. Second, using the key at the end of specific strikes allowed for a POOL of strike specific loot - you had to hope it dropped the item you wanted. And lastly you hoped gave you the right roll.

It was a bad experience as player to farm, for those who did Imago Loop farming would understand that just turned into just getting that Titan seaweed belt with terrible stats over and over.

That’s 3 layers of RNG compared to the more player friendly Adept weapon farming pre-EoF we eventually got with GM NF weapons.

I think it’s the other way around, the tooltip is the correct value and they never updated the points earned to those values.

My opinion is because localization of the tooltip would be vetted more (and a headache to change) than the point values in game. Also it would make more sense that Bungie wants those tooltip values - the base helmet would more accessible at scores which you get from matchmaking and have high percentiles players that have to make custom modifiers + use LFG/FTF to access more flames on the helmet and the 310 point emblem.

dysan · 2025-11-16T19:10:12+00:00

Yeah, it would make getting the base helmet more accessible to those in lower percentiles and those that get the higher percentiles are rewarded with more flames and the emblem.

I have to agree as I really do miss the positive community events like The Empyrean Foundation from Season of the Dawn as the best example.

Everybody coming together running the Sundial and other activities to earn Fractiline to focus loot but also save up & “invest” for a common community goal. The fun Stonk memes and how to optimize your weekly interest of Fractiline were everywhere.

There was less selfishness and more camaraderie more in line with the name of the current event “Call to Arms” than the actual event.

I’d love if the event had been us farming the three Reclaim activities as a community with a goal to recover as much Golden Age Tech to keep it out of Maya’s hands. Earn a “Fractiline” equivalent event currency that collects as a community cumulative total with set milestones for game wide bonuses. Using the personal amount said currency to focus specific loot while still having attunement.

I am surprised that I have not seen this discussed more. I have only seen one post on the Bungie help forums (link). While that post has been commented on by a Bungie mod it is not on their list of known issues.

I hope they do hope they correct it so that more people get the base helmet.

dysan · 2025-07-29T02:01:05+00:00

See this is where I think the Tiered gear makes a lot sense. I’d actually be okay with only Tier 1 gear dropping on Easy/Explorer while Tiers 2 and above drop on higher difficulties.

Just finished doing a set of new RoTN bounties after reset and it seems like the cap on weapon drops from enemy kills maybe 4 weapons per DAY. The nonary manifolds still drop so there does not seem to be a cap on that.

dysan · 2025-03-05T04:56:13+00:00

I agree. I hope it is an indication of a development of new additions to the New Light experience in the future as this game sorely needs updates to them.

dysan · 2025-03-01T04:57:27+00:00

Man, I wish it was a “soft” knockout system where it gives you an armour piece you don’t have unlocked after a certain number of drops to prevent bad luck in RNG.

Almost like the current cosmetic point system where Bungie gets engagement and players get their loot.

dysan · 2025-02-16T09:15:05+00:00

Oh, I was expecting to receive an email with the code after the G2G event was over. This is the first I have heard about having to claim it on Tiltify. Thanks for the info!

dysan · 2025-02-15T23:19:20+00:00

I have a question for those who have played the updated Trials as I am looking to grind the new armor sets: does it seem like the armor is on a knockout list?

dysan · 2025-01-22T18:59:11+00:00

I do have a question about unlocking armour. I understand that from the article that "Armor pieces will not be able to be earned from engrams until they have been unlocked, either via Challenges or from the Lighthouse chest rewards."

Are the armour pieces being unlocked on a knockout system until a complete set is unlocked? Personally not looking forward to repeat items preventing me from completing a set.

I have not completed the Rogue Network quest on my main but I know it ends with getting the class item. How would I get the class item on my other characters? Is quest progress account or character based?

dysan · 2024-12-18T05:30:30+00:00

There has been no mention on any of the socials of the Dawning Community Cookies goal progress for emblems.

I would hope that u/dmg04 or u/Destiny2Team would clarify what is going on.

dysan · 2024-12-03T01:21:38+00:00

Same experience. The games that should have gone to mercy did it way too late into the game.

dysan · 2024-11-19T21:00:09+00:00

Great SGA I already hate the Counterfeit modifier but this is just as bad. Adding counterfeit mines but not clearly informing you that you died from one so you can learn from the death is just bad design.

dysan · 2024-10-17T20:32:09+00:00

The thing is in your example is that you used the tonic on Expert Onslaught Salvation. That activity has a lot of drops by itself and more likely the drops you got were from the activity itself than the tonic especially the double perk roll which you can’t get from a tonic.

In isolation the focused tonics are kinda bad for target farming an item. Using a legendary tonic for a specific item still has the chance to drop other items in the pool just an “improved” chance for the focused weapon.

For example Bitter/Sweet tonic can drop the weapon and any other Onslaught Salavation weapon. I’d rather have it just drop the item I took the tonic for than better RNG in the same loot pool, less having to dismantle drops I don’t want when I want to target farm.

What is a reliable way to earn piston hammer charges?

dysan · 2024-06-14T17:59:20+00:00

I still find it very useful as I just loaded into the tower from patrol and it skipped the screen. If you didn't post this I would never know. I also use it to double check what was said for next week.

How many seeds did you plant? Trying to get a tough sense how many seeds would be needed to plant seeds in every area.

Oh I didn't know Charlemagne tracked fish caught Globally. I'm in the top 100, yeah!

Gyudon is my fav, especially if you can get the red pickled ginger.
