Destiny 2: The Final Shape [PS4/PS5/XB1/XBS/PC] - Y8, The Dark Age Returns

This is pretty bad lol

[Serra]

Agreed. I can't start the second mission.

[Obsidian]

Good thing the game was down for 25 hours in preparation for all this downti- oh.

I got through the first three missions early in the afternoon with no issues, but I didn't even try to keep playing after dinner. Played some BG3 instead.

I know they reduced the tracking on shoulder charge to reduce 1HKO in PVP, but then they outright just reduced the damage so it couldn't 1HKO in most situations. Then they added a cooldown to it so you can just do it willy nilly. I don't complain about this game much, if ever, but I'm sick and tired of it.
Can we fucking have the tracking back? Shoulder charge has felt like hot trash to use in PVE for entirely too long now. If the enemy is on a slope, it misses. If the enemy moves 1 millimeter to the left after you started, it misses. Oh you wanna make peregrine greaves work in PVE? Hope you enjoy dying because you missed and the ability went into cooldown.
I'd moved to hammer for months, but I went back to shoulder charge for onslaught and holy fuck was it ever a bad time to shoulder charge anything.

Do yourself a favour and either switch to a Consecration build or just run with Berserker if you want to melee. Throwing Hammer cooldown feels like absolute dogshit, Shoulder Charge tracking on all three light subclasses is ass and the -10% energy for missing is just fucking terrible in PvE, and you're going to die trying to Thunderclap.

I haven't spent too long with Behemoth yet after the Stasis reworks that came with this expansion, but from the little I did mess around, it does actually feel a fair bit better.

[6souls]

So.. admittedly I am still really behind on the story and I stopped by the Enclave on Mars. What's going on here?

[Obsidian]

Not sure anyone's figured it out yet. Might be something that activates after the raid race completion.

I've tried consecration builds. They work, but I don't find them as fun.
Also, no slam yet at the point where I am in the story. Don't even know if you unlock it before the story is over. As it stands I'm getting carried by bait and switch rockets or gls.

Mission nitpick, why do we fly to mission destinations in our ship within the Pale Heart?

[Qalbert]

also nitpicking, pathfinder nodes that say generate orbs say "with your super or masterworked weapons" and the latter hasn't been a thing for a while lmao

There appears to be a bug where completing the campaign on one character locks out obtaining Prismatic on 2nd & 3rd characters.

The amount of content this expansion has is pretty awesome.

Appears to be bigger than Taken King. Forsaken was big, too, but not nearly as many secrets.

Didn't realize how close I was to the end of the campaign. I enjoyed it a lot. Like the previous campaigns, I did it solo. I didn't think lightfall's campaign was bad by any chance, though I know people whined about unanswered questions and not caring about an NPC's sacrifice. I definitely enjoyed it more than I did lightfall and witch queen.
About the only complaints I have are tormentors and shoebox encounters. I found myself basically going "ugh" whenever a tormentor showed up. I guess my load out wasn't optimized for them, but they were really annoying damage sponges. For the shoebox encounters, space was the actual issue. I liked the mob density, and maybe could do with much more, but tight spaces really just reduce your options, not increase difficulty.

[Serra]

I take back my criticism from a few months ago -- the seasons of Lightfall ended up being more relevant than I gave them credit. Lightfall itself was still irrelevant.

Also, although Subjugators do a better job leveraging their elemental abilities, they're so passive. Tormentors feel way tougher because of how much more aggressive they act.

[Demosthenes]

Tormentors stalk menacingly then chase when enraged. Subjugators leverage ranged attacks and abilities and get menacing when they enrage, unfortunately they don't last long once enraged. I think they should default to their enraged behavior. Very glad they're not bullet sponges.

I'm a hover Warlock and the ceilings in those rooms were not kind.

Eww. I can imagine.
