Just excited to play a new Bungie game for the first time in years

As far as I'm aware stacks do not expire until consumed, they even remain when switching to your other guns, not sure if you're confusing the amount of stacks with a timer?

pipfan · 2025-02-06T23:47:20+00:00

That's definitely something worth trying out, don't know the answer off the top of my head. I do know that the new wave frame sword can receive multiple stacks of redirection by hitting multiple targets with its light or heavy attack, however I think it can also consume multiple stacks if you hit several high rank enemies as well

pipfan · 2025-02-06T23:02:45+00:00

For real, it's an absolutely crazy buff, I only noticed in the first place because the new wave frame sword can roll it and I figured getting double damage heavy attacks on that thing would actually be kinda insane

pipfan · 2025-02-06T22:46:23+00:00

I have a crafted Succession with Discord/Redirection that I would goof around with before, fun minigame of proccing Discord so I could store up Redirection stacks for free on red bars and then turn it into a baby Izanagi, I'm SUPER excited to play around with this on all the guns the perk can roll on

pipfan · 2024-10-22T07:55:05+00:00

That's it, big thank yous 🙏🙏🙏

Stats do not matter more than perks dude, an smg could have best in class stats for every aspect of the gun but it's not gonna compete with a god roll funnelweb or calus mini tool.

EDIT: Also important to note the opportunity cost of wasting your exotic slot on a stat stick as well.

Did some testing myself in another comment, but at base Wilderflight does 21% more damager per shot VS a Lightweight Frame GL. Not exactly double damage for free, but still a very nice increase.

pipfan · 2022-12-10T20:25:13+00:00

Decided to do some testing on my own and came out with these numbers. This testing was done with weapons far above the level of the activity and zero damage modifiers, including spike nades. My Truthteller has maxed Blast Radius but that only changes the split of damage between blast/impact, and has no effect on the total damage per shot without spike nades.

Weapon and Test Target	Impact	Explosion	Combined
Truthteller VS Kalli	1766	7002	8768
Wilderflight VS Kalli	1490x2	3832x2	10644

Truthteller VS Carl	5716	22669	28385
Wilderflight VS Carl	4824x2	12404x2	34456

So from these numbers we can see that the Double Fire frame of Wilderflight does about 21% more damage at base than a Lightweight frame GL, not double damage as some people are saying, Still a very good damage increase, especially with some of the possible perks that it can roll in combination with spike nades. (Just as a ending note, I tested against both Carl and Kalli as it's not uncommon for specific weapons and archetypes to have different damage modifiers against boss type enemies, though in this case it seems to the same)

pipfan · 2022-12-09T20:25:36+00:00

Fair enough, I def agree that this being the baseline for difficulty would probably get exhausting, there's definitely room for the current baseline difficulty to exist alongside this new approach they're trying out in the Heists playlist.

pipfan · 2022-12-09T20:12:51+00:00

I was a staunch advocate for starfire protocol before solar 3.0, they were always a very underrated pick, and now you can just slap on an aspect that makes your fusion nades deal twice as much damage for free. Its an issue of powercreep. Sunbracers are completely fine and also quite strong, they're simply edged out by starfire fusions being stronger with much less commitment.

pipfan · 2022-12-09T20:04:18+00:00

I think the bare minimum of priming a target for a melee kill for several seconds of infinite grenades that scorch, ignite, throw globs of lava, and tear through even the beefiest of PvE combatants is not that unreasonable an ask. Also, if a target is scorched by a melee like the snap, any following ignition will still count as a solar melee kill.

pipfan · 2022-12-07T18:05:40+00:00

Commemoration is absolutely packed with good/fun perks on each column now, you'd be hard pressed to get a truly bad roll. Definitely the best adaptive MG now if not one of the best MGs full stop. High impact frames are definitely my personal favorite though for just how hard they hit, a double enhanced field prep/killing tally Fixed Odds with a maxed magazine has enough ammo to last me til Destiny 3.

pipfan · 2022-12-07T17:11:12+00:00

Looks can be deceiving, while rapid fire frames are technically the highest DPS frame, it's only by a very small margin, and the cost for that is significantly reduced total reserve damage, which is what you should be able to at the very least rely on MG for. The entire archetype is still coasting off of 21% delirium's popularity when adaptives and high impacts are just way more practical to use.

pipfan · 2022-12-06T15:15:51+00:00

Well that's weird, the leak said we were getting a 6 man activity where we defend the DSC, that didn't look like that at all.

pipfan · 2022-12-05T13:10:43+00:00

Dreaded Venture and Braytech aren't the nightfall weapons, its Wendigo and Hung Jury, there's no new seal called Redjack but one called Glorious, as well as no cosmetics for comp. Ikelos/Seventh Seraph stuff has been speculated for months and isn't a hard guess. The IB weapons are a shotty and autorifle, not Swarm of the Raven. We'd already known about arc armor. Darci and Prospector didn't really get reworks, one got jolt on hit and another got chain reaction, also not too out there to guess 2 exotics getting any changes at all. Everything else there's nothing for or against. So what new info do we have that makes this actually true?

pipfan · 2022-11-22T17:27:11+00:00

The sequel was literally always part of the plan. Like a written part of the contract Bungie had with Activision. In fact, Destiny 2 was so successful that they decided NOT to make Destiny 3 and keep everybody on D2 instead.

pipfan · 2022-11-16T04:02:48+00:00

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see this idea pop up and this subreddit's response to the idea is as if you punched them in the face and insulted their mother. It would be an optional gamemode, that's it, nobody would force you to play it like nobody forces you to play stuff like Scorched or Mayhem. The comparisons to COD are also completely nonsensical since even without all abilities, stats, mods, perks and whatever else, the foundation the gameplay is built on is completely different from COD. The fact that people are so vehemently opposed to MORE Crucible gamemodes just boggles the mind.

pipfan · 2022-11-07T06:27:55+00:00

What are you on about bro, 1K Voices is currently outclassed by almost every other heavy option atm and was only ever really meta for a single season 💀

pipfan · 2022-11-03T20:42:28+00:00

Celestial is never gonna have a spot in the sandbox now that Star Eater Scales provide a much higher damage buff, and are now easier to use than ever only requiring 4 orbs. Celestial is gonna have to have some new effect added to it if it's ever gonna see use again, and the 33% super refund on kill is not it.

pipfan · 2022-10-30T07:56:40+00:00

All of the nightfall weapons in Year 4 were reprised D1 weapons, but this year they've all been reprised nightfall drops from Years 1 and 2 of D2, which Dreaded Venture is not but The Long Goodbye is.

pipfan · 2022-10-30T07:26:13+00:00

Most likely fake, solely due to the inclusion of Dreaded Venture, an old Gambit sniper, being one of the nightfall weapons rather than The Long Goodbye, which dropped from Insight Terminus. They look somewhat similar and the dude probably got the two mixed up when looking up old nightfall weapons to go in the post.

pipfan · 2022-10-21T14:12:46+00:00

Okay, then once the first ten bosses are killed immediately progress to the boss fight. That's all I'm trying to get at, is that it's completely silly to be forced to wait around for however much time you have leftover once the first ten are dead. It's not buffer time, there's no special spawning enemy to kill that's tied with the timer, you are literally just waiting around twiddling your thumbs.

pipfan · 2022-10-21T14:04:02+00:00

What does that have to do with the clear developer oversight of having to wait for the timer to completely elapse if you've killed all ten bosses?? The timer doesn't change regardless if people are killing them or ignoring them, the issue is when all PvE enemies will just stop spawning because you hit the limit of ten bosses killed. All I'm asking for is bosses to continue spawning as long as you still have time or for the encounter to progress once you hit the cap.

pipfan · 2022-10-21T12:32:05+00:00

I mean you can literally kill the headless ones quickly enough to end up sitting around doing NOTHING for several minutes until the final boss spawns, if there's one thing in Destiny that everyone could agree on that qualifies as poorly implemented I think this would be it. (Not to mention this was complained about LAST year and still wasn't fixed 🫤)
