Yeah I'm already sick of being stuck with bows for Overload champions. The funny thing is they buffed hand cannons and scouts in PVE to make them better, but gave them zero champ mods so they aren't able to be used.

The whole champion system needs to go. It doesn't do anything to make content harder, just restricts the builds you can use. I can't stand using bows for add clear. Even with a mouse I feel like my hand is going to fall off after farming for an hour or two.

I will give them a big plus on crossplay so far for PVE. Just having a much larger group to pull from is great. Found 3 people for a dungeon on the official app in seconds.

Iron Banner is a lot better on console now with crossplay on. Before, each next gen console was its own population which was terrible, but now they crossplay they open it up to more consoles (not sure if it is just next gen or all). It still keeps console separate, so we aren't flooded with PC players (I play PVE on PC but switch over to Xbox for PVP).

I'm at least not getting steamrolled in every game now. It feels pretty even which is where I should be. There's still lots of mercy games, but at least I'm on the winning team some of the time. I can always tell, if I'm the worst player on the team, we're winning easily. If I'm the top player, we're done.

Supposedly they fixed voice chat on crossplay too so PVE should be even better (haven't tried to see if it actually works).
 
If anyone wants to run some 1320 or even 1350 Nightfalls to farm resources let me know.
 
I've got to clean out my vault. I seriously can't even play anymore, as any new drops will disappear. They really need to increase vault space.

I wish I could give this stuff to someone. I've got some great rolls on stuff.

Anyone jumping into Trials this weekend? I'm terrified I'm just going to get wrecked, but supposedly it is going to be easier to get loot. After Iron Banner I'm not optimistic. Even in IB I get wrecked pretty hard. On my best day I can usually stay even.

I don't play with PC for PVP... I will try the solo matchmaking playlist though.
 
I actually did pretty well on PC during Iron Banner this past week. I'll give the solo Playlist a shot.
 
I don't mean to brag, but I have accomplished something really special. 2 out of my 4 emotes are now Nic Cage references.

Getting 4/4 is my endgame.

DDOS 2 games in a row on trials f*** that.

That sucks. I've had surprisingly good games. Lost more than I won, but I'm not getting crushed and actually getting some loot.

I'm just playing low card folks though so nobody cares enough to cheat.

I can't believe I actually:

-Played Trials
-With matchmade randos
-Got loot
-Didn't get completely wrecked

Even losing 2 out of 3 games, I was able to get most of the weapons and a full set of armor. The only thing that really wasn't good was running into stacks with the Vex raid weapon that just wrecks everything else. Seemed like once I had a few wins on my card, that was all I saw.
 
The problem with trials is that I won't really bother going back. I actually got so much loot, I don't need to play other than maybe some quick target farming. I basically got almost every gun and a full set of armor. Other than maybe a god rolled version of the new linear, I really don't need to spend a ton of time in there ever again.
 
TeKPhaN couldn't hear you at all. After I got off I realized my brother and I were in steam chat lol
ahh ok

  • Fixed an issue where Danger Zone was not functioning correctly on Rocket Launchers.
  • Increase the cooldown of Shoot to Loot to four seconds.

  • Fixed an issue where an interaction between Hawkmoon and Hand Cannon Holster allowed for repeated Paracausal shots.
  • Fixed an issue with Ager's Scepter where a player’s Super wouldn't drain while in empowered mode.

Title Seal​

  • Fixed issue where a gilding Triumph could be completed before the base title Seal was claimed.
  • Fixed issue where the Wyvern precision kill objective wasn't progressing as intended.

Strikes​

General
  • Fixed an issue where strike streaks were not rewarded after completing a strike if the player joined a strike in-progress or if the player was pulled forward.
  • Players should no longer be able to apply Chill Touch to themselves or allies in strikes.
  • Players should once again not be able to reset their reputation if they have not picked up all rank reward items.
    • A quality-of-life improvement for rank resetting is coming later in Season 15.

Broodhold
  • Players can no longer be stuck after encountering In’Anah for the first time.

Hollowed Lair
  • The Fanatic can no longer become stuck in the corner.
  • The Spider Tank can no longer be killed early.

Master and Legend Lost Sectors
  • Burns, shields, and Champions listed on the tooltip for Luna Lost Sectors should once again reflect what players find in-game.

Platforms and Systems​

  • Fixed an issue where selecting the Beyond Light Deluxe Edition upgrade from the Timeline took players to the full Deluxe Edition page instead of the upgrade page on the Steam store.
  • Fixed an issue where Windows 7 users were unable to launch the game due to some incompatible *.dll files.

Localization​

  • Fixed an issue with Japanese translations of a few lore entries.
  • Fixed an issue where several languages did not have a description for the Seasonal artifact.

General​

  • Fixed an issue where the Xunyou offer was not rewarding the correct items.
  • Fixed an issue where the Warlock's Nova Warp wouldn’t Blink if Hold Sprint was active.
  • Fixed an issue where the barriers surrounding the Scorch Cannons in the Fallen Walker public event repelled anything that came near them.
  • Increased the score target for Iron Banner Control from 125 to 150 (matching base Control).
  • Adjusted the Iron Banner Mercy thresholds to reduce the number of games that end shortly before they reach the score target.

Xur has an Outlaw/Dragonfly Bottom Dollar roll today (he has been carrying other weapons lately).

Definitely pick it up if you don't have a good one from Gambit (and the farming of that is terrible)

Yeah I don't mind paying for content, but it is basically $100 to get the 30th anniversary stuff, Witch Queen Deluxe and a year of seasons (still not a terrible price considering there's a lot of content there, but still that's a big number). I'll probably end up getting it, but there's definitely some sticker shock there.

I'm still not sure what this 30th anniversary thing is other than charging us for Gjallahorn and a dungeon.

My big gripe is that the servers (at least on Steam) have been absolute trash this season. Basically the game is unplayable on Tuesday's reset with all the disconnects. I was trying to get a couple activities done for a pinnacle and I'm constantly kicked out. If it is this bad now, imagine how bad it will be for Witch Queen? Forget the lag in PVP too. Ever since crossplay was turned on, it seems to lag terribly across any platform.

If I'm shelling out $100, the servers better work consistently.
