Tried farming the Altar of Sorrows for a pvp rolled Apostate. Had 5 randoms plus myself and all 5 refused to kill the nightmares on the last wave that run towards the portal. Instant fail 4 times in a row.

So frustrating and a waste of an hour and a half.
 
Finally got Exit Strategy from last season and am working on Python. I usually hate Gambit but at least you dont have to win to get the weapons.
 
For anyone still out there playing, there's a new community activity where we donate fractaline and get some rewards. Well, as you turn in this stuff (and it is easy to get the way they set it up), you can also easily hit timelost bounties, so it is really good farming for god rolls on any of the obelisk guns.

If you still want to farm something like a god rolled Breachlight or any other gun you don't have one for yet, this is a good time. I was kind of fading on this season, but this works really well.

It is complicated (as all things Destiny are), but basically you can spend a few minutes at the tower and get weapons from bounties. The timelost bounties have 2 perks on them if you level up high enough (you can also "buy" obelisk levels with materials too which is sweet).

 
I just bought the expansion and I never played it in 4k.
Okay I have something about 4k but after reinstalling and fire it up. Damn this game looks amazing.

Check out the Dreaming City once you get high enough level. It is the coolest looking area in Destiny by far. (it doesn't open up for awhile into the game though).

Will do, I only played the main game and beat it when I TV was out and never got back into it because of the loot box issue I keep hearing.
 
Lootboxes belong in history. Fortnite (I know many people rolled their eyes when I talked about it) & COD MW shows you can be very profitable as a live service game without loot boxes. In fact, it can be more profitable.

People should be able to buy what they paid for (you can contest the price for sure), not just a chance to get an item. This is gambling no matter how people want to spin it. Besides, many countries & more are going to impose restrictions (or ban) on loot boxes, so it's in publishers' interest to go away with loot boxes.
 
This season has been bad IMO. I stopped playing and am hoping the next one is better.

Yep, especially for those of us who aren't big into PVP. The past few seasons haven't been great, but there was always something to grind for and the events are ok. This season is just bounties over and over again, and the bounties just get worse and worse. I'm not even sure what loot I'm farming for at this point.

I have a bounty to get kills by throwing my titan shield over "long distances". I've still not figured out how far it is supposed to be.

I was grinding out that stupid new exotic this weekend and realized that I wasn't even 20% of the way there and just hit a wall.

I am pretty sure they are pushing resources to whatever Fall DLC they are working on and the seasons are going to be thin the rest of the way.

I don't understand why they don't just re-use strikes or menagerie or something else fun instead of making these half baked events.

I really hope they are cooking up something with the quality of Forsaken. These little seasons with a new event (that is fun maybe five times) are starting to irritate me.

I bet they are. If I remember, the leaks we saw for what became Shadowkeep were pretty accurate.

Pretty sure they are building to something major with the pyramid ships.

I think they know that this seasonal model has no depth to it.

Bungie's problem has been the same since the start - they never seen to be able to produce content at a fast enough rate.

Originally played this game on PC at launch, then didn't touch it again until Shadowkeep and the move to Steam. Started a new playthrough at that point so still didn't get to new stuff. Now I ended up buying Shadowkeep on Xbox since a few wanted to play on that so I decided to start over and currently playing that at least for this season. I think once this season is done I'll move back to PC. Game just looks and plays a lot better on there. I don't think any DLC or season passes transfer so going to wait until after the season is up.
 
It is hard to play on console once you've had a taste of 60fps on PC. Check out the cross save options. Not sure what is available now, but I know I have the game on PS4 and PC with the same characters and DLC.

So it looks like the big DLC packs don't cross but season passes do, which is really the only reason I was going to hold off so I didn't double purchase the season pass once I bought Shadowkeep on PC. But as long as I can make progress on the current season on PC then I've gone ahead and set up cross save.
 
Took a gamble and it didn't pay off. Shadowkeep is on sale now so figured I'd buy it. My only concern was if I already had the season pass if it would be a double dip on that or if it would stack. Only thing I could find was on Reddit a couple months ago a few people said it would stack and give you 1000 silver. Nope.

Anywho I'm enjoying this season and it's really the only I've taken part in. The one thing I don't like though are the sereph towers because the most I've seen partake in one is maybe 5 people including myself and closest I've come is about 90%. There either isn't enough time or not enough people in public to even be able to complete these. They are fun but it's honestly just a waste of time now because loot is garbage for not beating it. I'm close to tier 3 in Io bunker though so I can get the handcannon. Next is EDZ so I can get the auto rifle. Considering I just started working on this season pass stuff a week ago, at least it seems I'll have enough time to unlock at least a couple weapons.
 
I think the seasons end up being very shallow. They aren't horrible, I mean D1 would drop content and then that was it for months and months (years sometimes). The seasons give you a reason to play regularly, but it isn't very rewarding or "special".

Basically when weekly reset hits, I run some powerful rewards and get some levels in my battle pass and then move on to other games. Next weekly reset it repeats until I'm "done". Then next season the whole loop repeats.

The problem is this season the event is very dull. If you don't want to play Trials (top tier PVP) which is only for great players, the PVE is really thin. The activity is boring and the couple of guns you can get aren't very good. The only use for them is they generate those warmind cells which can blow up (good fun though).

The rewards aren't special, the activities aren't challenging (there's zero point doing the actual hard stuff). Everything fun that is cosmetic is in the store (fortunately that's changing next season).
 
So possibly good news. Another thread I found on Steam says if you double buy a season pass it doesn't give you silver, but instead gives you the next one. Guess we'll see what happens.

I unlocked the hand cannon from the Io bunker and it doesn't seem that great. I've run the bounty twice now so maybe it could eventually become good, but so far it's worse than other hand cannons I have. Going to level up the EDZ bunker now to get the auto rifle and see how that goes. Other than that I still have quite a lot of stuff, like half of the Osiris campaign plus all campaigns after that, plus a few exotics. PvP I don't really care about even though I'm sure I'd be missing out on some good gear. I just don't have time for it these days.

The Guardian Games going on... I don't know what to say. The first two weeks I was following along, doing all the bounties and quests for it outside of the PvP ones. Seems like the only real loot from it is a machine gun which requires 7 of 10 triumphs to obtain. I realize even after doing so much of the PvE stuff I currently only have like 2 of the triumphs done and without doing PvP you can only get like 4-5 of them lol. Probably out of time now to even attempt to get them before Tuesday or whenever reset is. So ultimately it's been a waste of time.

Season pass I'm closing in on rank 60 so thinking I can get that maxed out in 30 days.

The only good thing about the bunker guns is that you can add an armor mod to create warmind cells (those big orange balls). Shoot those and you get a big explosion that doesn't damage you but takes out enemies. You can mix and match mods to do different things with them.

Otherwise they aren't very good. If you get a couple of them together plus a mod like tyrant surge (make cells off any arc damage) and you can really blow stuff up.

The exotic is way too grindy to get for normal people. You've got to do daily bounties and stuff for triumphs which is kind of nuts. I started doing it and realized I was never going to hit it.

So apparently the new thing is to do the seraph tower events (which have been all switched to hard mode btw) 9 million times total (3 per planet).

Of course these activities are super difficult with no matchmaking. You just have to keep loading in to an area and hope to hit a group doing it with enough people. You have to defend all 3 towers simultaneously and throw balls at the tower, so you really need 8+ people realistically.
