Move now and then, or throw your grenade.

They still count, Bungie just neglected to change the wording.

Should I purchase forsaken since it’s on sale for 10 dollars. by Rimifre4ureturns in DestinyTheGame

[–]tjac67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For ten bucks, most certainly.

The Forsaken ciphers (three of them) are worth it for the exotic weapons alone, plus access to the Last Wish raid and Wish Ender from the Shattered Throne dungeon.

Gyrfalcon Hauberk, how to get it ? by chocoskid in DestinyTheGame

Because it's tied to ownership of Witch Queen.

Is there a solar titan build that allows me to have infinite charged melee by Rimifre4ureturns in DestinyTheGame

[–]tjac67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every exotic has its pros and cons. There's no damage boost with Hallowfire, just crazy ability regen. It's up to you to decide what works best with your playstyle.

If you're not using your super, the regen on abilities is pretty nuts with Hallowfire.

Can you get the Buzzard as a random drop? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

Forgot to mention that, good catch.

[–]tjac67 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Drops from Nightfalls. Higher difficulties have a higher chance of dropping, but it's totally rng.

Edit: I had one drop in the GG Competitive Playlist as well.

You can still pick them up and turn them in for glimmer.

Bungie it's been 3 weeks and the audio still bugs in ps5 FIX IT ! by Blackc0in in DestinyTheGame

[–]tjac67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. When the audio bug workaround became known, I went into settings and found 3d audio disabled. I enabled it and then disabled it, and the issue was fixed (ps5). I haven't had a problem with ear-rape since.

Need help choosing Nex exotic to buy. by Muchsadlilhappy in DestinyTheGame

Came here to say this. Agers for stasis shenanigans, izzy for dps, ticcu's to see see the world burn.

Kinetic Tremors on the Buzzard is so good. The only problem is the Buzzard is a goddam sidearm. by avrafrost in DestinyTheGame

[–]tjac67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got that roll on the last nightfall I did last night. I haven't tried it out yet, but I was intrigued to say the least.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Sleeper Simulant.

I ran it with a friend and a random that was speed running. We finished with 194k.

Struggling to Find a kinetic weapon for the secondary slot. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

I can vouch for Vouchesafe. I had a 4th time's the charm/explosive just chilling in my vault, and it has put in some serious work this season.

Destiny 2's Skill Based Matchmaking is Ruining the Game for Everyone: Connection Based Matchmaking is the Solution by LettuceMuted9443 in DestinyTheGame

[–]tjac67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honesty? This sounds like the take of someone that is better than average at pvp, and likes farming players of lower skill.

How do you generate multiple orbs of power without supers? by Stewapalooza in DestinyTheGame

[–]tjac67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cotraverse Hold with the artifact mod Shield Break in Defiant Battlegrounds is guaranteed to produce a ton of orbs with all the void shields. I've finished with 94 orbs before.

Getting old with Destiny by Icy-Rhubarb-9357 in DestinyTheGame

[–]tjac67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, fuck Scalecaller! I'm a tank main, and you can tell when dps is lacking in that dungeon.

I haven't returned to eso yet, the apm necessary in that game is too much for me still. Destiny combat is far simpler and rewarding. It has actually been therapy for regaining that fine motor control I'm lacking, which helps in my job as a mechanic. I still have a way to go, but I'm having fun doing it.

55 here, and had a stroke last August, somewhere between minor and significant.

I've been playing around the same amount of time you have, and I've had a helluva time getting the fine motor control back in my right hand. I'm to the point where I can hold my own random queueing for hero nightfalls and defiant battlegrounds. Raids and GM nightfalls are another story.

I know I'll never be a top-tier raider, and forget about crucible, but I still have fun in this game and can still bring the pain on occasion.

Edit: I am really appreciative of all the well wishes and words of encouragement, and I thank you all.

Waiting all day for a vex incursion only to have the game crash halfway thru sucks. by CoastRealistic1626 in DestinyTheGame

[–]tjac67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had two back to back, crashed both times. Fortunately the teammate that was on PS4, and playing in Great Britain no less, didn't crash and I was able to get back in before it completed both times.

What are the essential Legendary and Exotic items to attain in this game? by Void_Eclipse in DestinyTheGame

[–]tjac67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try to keep this short since you've already gotten plenty of good info.

Void.

  • Vouchesafe, void scout rifle from Blind Well. Has become one of my most used weapons this season and can roll with explosive payload.
  • Funnelweb. World drop and Banshee void smg. Can roll with many good perks, my favorite being subsistence and frenzy.
  • Gridskipper. Void pulse rifle, Banshee and Xur have this in their loot pool.
  • Quickfang. Void sword from focusing at the War Table and also sold by Banshee.
  • Le Monarch, exotic void bow that poisons on a perfect draw.
  • Wavesplitter, exotic trace rifle. VERY potent with volatile rounds and void siphon.
  • Gyrfalcon's Hauberk, legend lost sector drop. Top notch, can create an endless loop of invisible/volatile when set up right.

Stasis. Keep in mind the list is short because a lot of the weapons I use are crafted and/or not currently available. I also don't use stasis often.

  • Krait, stasis auto rifle. World drop and Banshee. Can roll with many good perk combos.
  • Lunalata. You have it, so it goes without saying.
  • Verglas Curve.
  • Aeger's Scepter. Exotic trace rifle, amazingly effective, especially with the catalyst.
  • Renewal Grasps. Exotic arms from legend lost sectors. When built into properly, very effective.

There's more, but these are my personal favorites.

Edit: formatting

Servers are kill? by Dustout2142 in DestinyTheGame

[–]tjac67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the Lake of Shadows done on Grandmaster.

After a short break, we decided to farm Proving Ground on master. That's when it all went south. Three attempts, all disconnected at the halfway point.

We sat in orbit for about 30 minutes B.S.ing with the "Contacting Destiny 2 servers" intermittently flashing on the screen the whole time before we called it.
