@HeyFitzy Wishing the best brother

Some vulnerability: Not looking forward to this heart echo this morning at all because over the last few days I’ve felt exhausted from simple tasks. Overall, I fear my heart is getting worse, but all we can do is try to remain positive right? ❤️

Getting a lot of armor archetypes that I’m not focused towards. Annoyingly so. A lot of Bulwark armor when I’m actually focusing Gunner or Paragon.

@A_dmg04 @BrunoLouviers Since a big focus for many players will be farming new raid armor in June, is there any word going around involving ghost armor focusing mods? It seems to me like drops have been MUCH worse in terms of what I’m focusing vs what I’m actually getting.

Nerf rocket pulses. The ammo reserve nerf a while back is basically a non factor It’s cool when a new archetype breaks the monotony of what is usually best in slot, but you know it’s bad when a weapon still outperforms others that the artifact tries to push (snipers meditation)

I really want some kind of sniper DPS meta again in D2. Which is a damn shame. This season woulda been great for it (snipers meditation) had it not been for rocket pulses being what they are and the new hand cannon for hunters 💀

@LukeCB14 Yep this I am 100% on board with. Huge W for more casual raiders wanting better raid loot.

I'm seeing quite a few people pretty upset about this but I don't really think it's that bad. Yeah it sucks we won't be able to select things like battalions and cutthroat, but it does mean loot won't be a pain to farm. I'm sure we'll get customizable difficulty on these later, maybe in an Age of Triumph style update. Also feats fragment the population of an activity, splitting LFG into many segments per activity. I'm glad this won't be an issue, especially with all 19 legacy RaD activities dropping on June 9th.

@MallowTheQueen I’d rather have this tbh. It’s nice I’ll be able to go straight in for the sets I really want and not have to wait. For those that will complain about speeding through the content that’s on them. They knew exactly how much we are getting and they chose to blow through it all

I'm not sure this is the best approach tbh. I like that we are getting weekly focuses back at least, but I was expecting a "2 or 3 RADs per week" approach. I feel like the worst person you know is about to farm all the god rolls in a week, and then complain there's nothing to do

@LukeCB14 Might just have to be a wait and see moment. Just going off of history though, drip feeding has done more harm than good in my experience.

@Wiz_D2 It's 19 raids and dungeons At least 94 weapons (more if they reprise stuff like fixed odds) and 57 armor sets (counting each class). That is a hell of a lot of content. Splitting that into a raid and dungeon a week that's: - 10 weapons (minimum) - 6 armor sets weekly.

I strongly disagree. There are so many worse things Bungie can do, and I actually think content time gating is a good thing when done properly. If they were to do a raid AND dungeon each week, here are the positives: - 9-10 weeks of fresh reprisals at reset. - Player population is focused on the newly released reprisals, making LFG faster. - Content creators can space their content out more, resulting in more online interest in the game for longer. - Players cannot grind everything in a couple of weeks and complain there's nothing to do. Honestly I'd even be fine with them doing a raid OR dungeon each week and having 19 weeks of refreshes (maybe front load a bit and cut it down to 15 weeks). I think it's clear they're buying time, and reprisals like this are a great way to do it. If they buy themselves an extra 9-19 weeks to work on The Shattered Cycle, The Alchemist and the potential early in development Destiny 3, I think that is overwhelmingly a good thing.

@LukeCB14 I think RonT is a good example of bad drip feeding. Most people, from my observations, were upset that the available weapons to chase were limited to whatever was featured for that week. A system like that is just has no redeeming qualities imo

I think a lot of drip fed content has been criticised because the drips were too small. I remember Revenant when they switched their content delivery strategy and retention was awful because everyone completed the act’s content in a day. In this case, drip feeding is good because the size of the drips are big enough to hold people over until the next drip, as long as they get the frequency of drips correct (weekly is best imo) I think maybe front loading would be good, opening strong with double the reprisals in the first week would be a good compromise I think.

@LukeCB14 I'd be fine with that, but straight up drip feeding is just bad over all imo. Just about every chunk of content that has been delivered by drip feeding has been criticized heavily because of it.

@Wiz_D2 I don’t think this has to be the case though. If all raids and dungeons are farmable after they’ve released I think that’d be fine, just do bonus rewards for the weekly featured or something

@LukeCB14 I have never liked the idea of them rotating though. If one raids armor set is better then another, I'd rather have all the time to farm the sets i want rather than have a week dedicated to that one if that makes sense

@Wiz_D2 So long as the pacing is reasonable I actually think this is a very good thing. If they did a raid AND dungeon a week, that's 9-10 weeks of content. If they did a raid OR dungeon a week, that's 19 weeks of content.

Here's everything we know about Destiny 2's June update so far 🧵

@LukeCB14 I have no idea why this didn't cross my mind as a possibility... damn the thought of that really bums me out lmao

All legacy raids and dungeons will have their loot refreshed, including set bonuses for the armor. Related info says "starting in June", so these will likely be drip-fed.

@LukeCB14 OOHH or the opening of Shattered Throne

Comment a Destiny raid or dungeon encounter and I will attempt to draw a map from memory

@LukeCB14 Ogre maze in Pit of Heresy :)

Chipotle brought back their Honey Chipotle chicken and I am so happy about that

@Destiny2Team @BrunoLouviers @A_dmg04 Is it known that fireteam / arena ops quickplay is not offering a masterworked weapon even though it's still listed in the weekly challenge? I completed them thinking it was a visual bug and I didn't get a single masterworked weapon :(

I'm motivated as hell recently. I got that dog in me, and right now he's looking at a fire hydrant and ready to piss on it. He sees the mail man coming towards the house and is ready to chase him. He sees his tail and will not stop until its caught. Someone stop me.
