Destiny 2 [PS4/XBONE/PC] (Sept. 6, 2017)

[Serra]

Calus Challenge:

Spoiler: show

You have to activate all four plates at once during the damage phase -- so it's cutting your damage by 75% per damage phase...............

Wut.............

[Kaslo]

Also, no new weapons for Iron Banner :/

[Tokitoki]

pc nightfall before reset anyone? :^(

If anyone wants to do PC Nightfall tonight, Omegaturk#1684 on Bnet.

I was on until about 9:30 you bastards. If you're ever looking for Nightfall on PC invite me or hop in BG Discord.

[Fondue]

I've noticed most people don't seem to check the bg destiny2 text channel on the discord, were you in the voice channel?

[Tokitoki]

Yeah, I was in the voice channel. I saw you posted a message the day before on the text channel.

[6souls]

I've noticed Fondues like to @everyone in Destiny Chat.

[Fondue]

I am not good with computers :^(

Why doesn't bgdiscord make you join roles so I can't do that!

Oh god, what?!

[Cail]

Wow, thats dumb lol

[6souls]

Can't wait to watch the stream later, but from the reddit live thread, seems like a lot of disappointment.

[Serra]

Does Calus not have an enrage mechanic? Cause if you can't kill him in three plates normally, the challenge will be impossible..

To clarify though, you need to have people on each plate before anyone does damage -- so make sure of that before any fires a shot.

Using the bottom tree, how many gunslingers do you need to recharge your super? Cause if it's only two, put there on one plate and just spam GG.

"More Rewarding" public events = 2 chests with coins

[Obsidian]

The fact that they spent like half the stream talking about a public event really said a lot about the expansion to me, honestly.

[6souls]

Looks like there has been an experience rate cap added to the game. There are numerous tests available via reddit and news sites that show not all of the experience rewarded from large exp activities like public events. One test showed that a 9k exp reward filled the bar further than an 11k reward that happened less than 10 minutes later.

I'm level 17....doesn't the game cap at level 20?

[Tokitoki]

I'm level 17....doesn't the game cap at level 20?

Yes. I would assume it's after you hit 20 as you start to get Bright Engrams. Which is shitty because that pushes you to buy more silver I guess. Though I won't buy silver either way.

It's not as hard if you run with people you know. Took us about 4 phases. My tips would be:

- Have two and two in front and one person on each in the back. Preferably the Titans with rally pair up in front with people

- Once Calus nukes a podium the rest of the team can still shoot for a few more seconds from their respective podiums before going completely immune

- Leave a slight bit of health on the last phase to ensure you guys have the most time on taking out his shield in final phase. A golden gun nighthawk does half it's armor

Took us only two tries, and that's because it glitched somehow in the end of our first try as he went immune immediately while we were breaking his shield

[Tokitoki]

Posted in BF thread too, but if anyone was waiting for a PC sale, Bnet is going to have a deal for Black Friday. $40 for standard game, $68 for game + expansion pass, $75 for digital deluxe.

Weekly Update:
https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46492

Expectedly short with Thanksgiving coming up, so nothing really to report -- just repeating the reveal from yesterday, next one is next Wednesday, and there'll be an update and hotfix coming before or around CoO. One of the issues it'll address though:

Hunter Survivalist Perk: The Survivalist perk on legendary Hunter leg armor does not grant the intended Recovery stats.
