The Last Word coming back absolves Budgie of all sins.

It had better be decent.

It's Call of Duty with powers.

At least Gambit is fun.

CoD is actually well designed though.
Destiny PvP is getting one shot by people teleporting across the map on the laggiest servers created by humans who are a whole clan group against a bunch of random players every single fucking time.
Also, getting killed the instant you spawn, and terrible weapon balance. Made by the company that made Halo.

So I heard you like Resets,

3 week cycle begins again.

Scorn back to being the enemy in the blind well
The Dungeon dissspears for 3 weeks.

Does this mean the Malfeance quest goes away as well?

With all the weapons from Destiny 1 coming back (nothing wrong with it at all), Bungie should seriously make sure that everything carries over to Destiny 3. Nobody wants to start over all over again and I am willing to bet a lot of the devs and artists don't want to redesign and redo some weapons 2-3 times.

Supposedly the Ascendant Primevil's spawn rate just becomes lower (LOL). But you should be able to progress the quest.

My experience in cod is pretty terrible. Guy better than me kills me 5 times so he gets rewarded with an airship which kills me from the sky. Terrible design.

Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the members on ResetEra. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Sou Da. From what I can gather, he commands the thread whiners from an Imperial Land Tank just outside of Hangouts thread. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on the Videogames thread.
Terrible meme, but it slays me every time

The better player should win though. Not the most broken class or weapon.

Im not sure what you are referring to

As of right now we have one of the most balanced metas the game has seen in a long time. Almost all primaries can kill between .7 to .9 seconds if you are accurate and some even faster

Special ammo is limited. Heavy even more so

I hate how leveling is handled now, so many have no idea how to push to 600.

Who told you it was coming back?

Receipts, show them.
Check leak in Op
Yea, this was confirmed by dmg. Malf boss is even rarer after reset. Glad I got that shit done.
I think I have accepted I will never get that quest to drop. Literally no guarantees that even if it spawns, this is assuming:
  1. I beat the primeevil before the other team
  2. Beating the primeevil first actually counts as a win for our team and not the other (see glitch on Reddit)
  3. Other team doesn't quit in the middle of the summoning

There are too many confunding variables to make this a fair quest to drop

So happy to hear the Last Word is coming back then had an anxiety attack, can you imagine the grind and the quest this will require under the Bungle's new direction?

Looking at this just makes me angry. I don't get why they make the leveling mechanics so obtuse and difficult.

Whats difficult about it

They said the reward thresholds go up as you move on to the tougher activities

Powerful engrams can still give gains past soft cap but the basic thing is that you need to be in Dreaming City, Raiding, or Nightfalls to get the big boosts.

Or just play casually and go up with Clan Engrams and Prime Engrams over time.

Ive had no issue with this system combining casual play with endgame pursuits. Basically if you want to hit 600 you have to be pushing through the toughest content

In Destiny PvP it's skill + experience in the form of sweet loot.

It's pretty fun right now, a lot of viable weapons/exotic armor. I do think there should be a no-super mode though. But COD killstreaks are way dumber. At least everyone gets a min/max of 1-3 supers per game that often grab you no more than 2 or 3 kills. Getting killstreaks is like "oh hey, you're destroying the other team? Lets get you in this plane and go drop bombs on targeted enemies for 30 seconds so they all get 10 times more destroyed."

If Malf's quest is like this... i can only imagine what TLW's quest will be!!! lol shit.

And yeah it had better have fan the hammer hip-fire and some amazing range while ADS'ing. Fav weapon of all time...

No hyperbole, TLW nerfs made me quite PvP for a long time in D1. That gun was pure bliss, and the cries for nerfs were really unfounded. Took actual skill to use it to it's full potential.

Man forget about TLW. Now that snipers are back in their correct slot, I want my Cheesebreaker back.

PVP is amazing right now. Maybe the new warlock void super is a bit too strong but skilled players are able to counter it. Shotguns are strong but you can overplay them. I'm switching between Pulse Auto and Hand Cannon right now and i'm always able to compete. Hopefully they'll fix Scout Rifle which are pure trash right now.

Between the orbs glitching in shattered throne preventing me from completing the wishender quest, well over 100 gambit matches without the servitor spawning, and topping off the last 2 days with the nightingale error preventing me from logging in, it was a pretty disappointing week.

Grinded out my weekly Gambit and got jack shit to help my sorry 525-ish Guardian. You should put that Not All Powerful Engrams Are Equal graphic somewhere in the OP for reference. I thought it said that the Weekly stuff was all good but I probably misremembered.

Heh. I just hit 525 after grinding dailies and bounties and I feel like I'm getting nowhere.

I was able to hold my own in PvP with white and green weapons until i was lvl 22. It is fine. I am on PC, tho.

Give me warlock void over blade barrage anyday. I can play around warlocks popping super. Blade barrage is just "oh you were going to kill me well enjoy this move you have no way of stopping while I kill everything in screen with the press of a button".

I loved the last word too but took skill to use? Nah. You should had to unload and it would decimate people. It needed a nerf, even if I had a blast using it while it was OP.

I just wish you got Powerful Engrams from multiple sources-and the Powerful Engrams each granted the same level multiple. I don't understand the reluctance to do so. Even if someone were to level up to 600 (oh no!!) there's still plenty of old gear to level up afterwards from subsequent Powerful Gear. I'm just tired to constantly getting low level boots that does nothing to raise my light level. It makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong, when I'm not.

Yeah - light leveling is a mess. Forever 29 was bad, but at least you could tell people in one sentence how to get those last couple of light levels "Do the raid and hope for good RNG."

I feel completely in the dark how to light level now playing Warmind and having not purchased Forsaken. I just keep doing Milestones.

It took skill to use absolutely, I know too many people who tried it and couldn't handle the quick fire hip fire and benched it because of that.

It was OP in the hands of a skilled player in some situations, but that's something else.

its designed to make you play the content over and over again. The loot pool just isn't large or random enough. I enjoy the slower grind, it still takes some time each week instead of how it was at launch and you could get all power engrams at reset and be done until the next.

I hit 560 last night thanks to the Shattered Throne.
