I planned on getting at the least the Hunter one out, but things kept popping up. Had a water leak, got it fixed. Then another one. Then another one. Will try to get it out Monday but will depend. Have guys coming out to repipe everything, hopefully tomorrow and Monday but it'll probably be Monday and Tuesday.
The Hunter and Titan is harder because we don't know how many fragment slots they have. Plus, they just aren't as interesting as the Voidwalker one.
Like they're trying to sell it as Nightstalkers can now have almost infinite invisibility, but they could already do that. Only difference is now it won't be as easy. You could do Graviton with bottom tree, long invisibility, dodge, smoke, invisible, and stay invisible as long as enemies are nearby. Great for preventing a wipe or getting a revive, but that's about it. You could also keep invisible on middle tree, just by getting a headshot while crouching.
Now you're going to have to throw a smoke bomb (or suppressor grenade), kill the enemy that is weakened to go invisible. Sure, once you kill that enemy, you can then melee an enemy to weaken them, kill them and go invisible to keep chaining it. Way more involved than simply crouching and getting a headshot. All of this combined with the removal of Heart of the Pack and half of Combat Provisions, really just seems like the Hunter got a nerf more than anything. We'll see how it plays out, but on paper it just doesn't look good.

Campaign much better than I figured it would be. Legend difficulty about what I expected; not hard.
Ended the day at 1521 base power on the Hunter.

Legendary campaign had some some downright nasty and unpleasant parts for me especially in those latter to end missions.

Will end the first week with the story beaten on all three characters. Base power for Hunter is 1546, Warlock is 1546, and Titan is 1548. Titan has three pieces of armor at 1550, kinetic weapon is 1550, and two energy weapons at 1551.
Not bad considering my Warlock didn't do any pinnacles and titan only did two of them and a couple of powerfuls.
Season rank 58.

No idea how people are getting up that fast. You sleeping at all? LOL. I've got my primary up to mid or high 1520s I think and eventually, I'll hit second and third characters on legendary campaign first and work out from there. There is a lot to do in this and overall I'm pretty impressed.
The weapons crafting... hmmm... I like it but I have some mixed feelings about some of it.

lol, I didn't even play a lot outside of Tuesday and Wednesday.
Beat the campaign on Legend, just did normal on Warlock and Titan since they were getting 1520 gear half-way through the campaign.
Had I been able to hit hard, all characters would probably be at 1550 or higher base right now. I did everything on Hunter but Comp, Gambit, 100K NF, 250K Dares, and VoG. Did the Vox pinnacle, 3 strikes, clan Xp, and a few bounty powerfuls on Titan. Didn't get to do anything on Warlock.
I stopped progress on my warlock to make sure I got the titan through the story, but ended up having so much on the titan that never went back to the warlock. This titan build is absolutely disgusting.

Yeah I'll always be a Hunter main but I can see me playing a lot of void Titan this season. Which is nice because I loved void Titan in D1

The new weekly pinnacle mission Preservation is pretty fun.
Basically just an easy, soloable version of the raid beginning. Teaches the mechanic of if it, and finally lets people see the first raid room inside the pyramid and learn the symbols.
Don't forget to go see Ikora and grab the new fragments. Have to do it on each character.
Gonna have to rework my build some, but having devour on hunter is pretty cool. Definitely don't think void Titan needs it because they basically already have it with the volatile build.

It was only disabled for the World's First Raid run, you could use it in all other activities. Glad they didn't blanket disable it as I had been using my roll of Imperial Needle since last season and was one of the early weapons I leveled up. I'm sure they'll patch that and Ikelos at some point but for now enjoy the 40% damage buff against red bars

Ok, I see what they did. For some reason when I came out Preservation (this went very well), it was gone. I went to lunch and came back and now it's back so maybe there was some wrinkle or something I hit.

This attune shape/reshape weapons concept needs some streamlining and refinement. There is too much BS, grind, and RNG nonsense built into it as is and it's woefully inconsiderate to the gamer's time.
Example:
For the mystery board quest you have to get these two weapons that only drop by RNG out of Wellspring. Fine. Oh, but they all have to be reds, too.
I have two of those damned AR rifles right now but they aren't red and oh, I have to have two reds of those and do it and then it counts for the quest. I'm sorry, but that's crap.
I think I ran Wellspring a total... gosh, maybe 10 times? I was dizzy and I finally said F it after the second copy of that rifle dropped but no reds.
For some of these weapons, you have to do five attunements. Are you kidding me? Like this? Get real.
Artificial bloat. Too many steps. Not nearly enough refinement and consideration to the gamer's time. They need to address this and clean it up. Some of this needs to be streamlined.
EDIT ADD:
So I finally after at least three hours of gaming time between yesterday and today got the two red border Come to Passes. Sheer random luck. Then I get to do it again for Tarnation. Then at some point apparently certain exotics or some such want 5. I'm in no hurry. They need to streamline and refine this setup big time.
I think current economy of the red border weapons is BS. This entire thing needs work. The same goes for Ascendant Alloy economy.

The whole thing is stupid.
Having to grind a story mission over and over, with not a high chance, to get an Alloy is stupid and makes me not care about the whole system. I've yet to get one from doing the story mission, and I've done it like six or seven times over the past two weeks.
They had said that weapon crafting would help alleviate some vault issues, but that's not true at all. They put relatively low caps on the materials required to shape/reshape weapons, so now I've got a vault full of red border weapons that would be pointless to extract something from.
They also made it expensive to reshape, so if you have a weapon leveled up and want to switch enhanced traits, good luck having the materials. It'd be cheaper to just craft multiple versions of a weapon, instead of reshaping it.
Like most things Bungie does, it's a good idea that is very poorly implemented and so grindy that only people who play 10 hours a day will care.

Yeah until they inevitably patch some aspects of it, I really have no intention of doing much with it.

I farmed Master wellsprings between yesterday and today and probably talking a couple of hours or so worth. Good loot here and there but still no red tarnations. Unbelievable. It's broken. A crappy setup and broken economy all the way with thelot of this new stuff. Too bad.

Solo'd the dungeon on my 1553 warlock, and course my second 1555 item dropped as an energy weapon that was... 1555 already. Would've been an upgrade in literally any other slot, but no. I hate this game. EDIT: I joke about hating the game, but man Bungie does make it really, really hard for me to enjoy it sometimes because I despise Bungie as a company. Luckily for them, I'm not a retarded leftist and can separate politics out of it. www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/51156 Banning Russians from being able to buy new content is retarded. You don't stand with Ukraine Bungie. You don't give a rat's ass about them. This is evident because they've said nothing about the people in Eastern Ukraine who has been slaughtered since at least 2015. Standing with Ukraine, and supporting their government, is quite literally standing with neo-Nazis... which is ironic considering how these Marxist morons label anyone who opposes them as Nazis. In another news, Bungie doesn't care one bit about anything that isn't in the news and are told to care about. They only care about what they can use to score woke points with the other morons. Yet another trash, virtue signaling emblem that will proudly not be in my collections. Yes, I know this thread shouldn't have politics in it. But they're the ones posting this garbage and putting stupid emblems in the game, making it hard to ignore.

Played Destiny a little bit for the time since March 20th or so yesterday.
Had to check out Guardian Games and get the new SMG. Probably won't play much, but I'll be back on at the start of next season for the first few weeks of it anyway.
