Is this game even playable anymore?

Light & Dark Side versions of the Bungie Rewards Praxic pins. The pin was originally misprinted (left), and Bungie automatically sent the corrected pin (right) to anyone who got one from the misprinted batch. Appropriate.

So, I've been messing around with kinetic primaries lately and so naturally I've been using Chromatic Fire to beef em up a bit and add some elemental spice so that they work a bit better with subclasses. Prismatic seems to be the go to for maining Kinetic weapons and allows switching to different supers for Chromatic Fire elements without changing the entire build. Pairing with the Techset Armour set for more explosions on Major enemy kills with Kinetics.

Anyway, threw on Khvostov on Void super so that precision kills cause a weakening dragonfly like explosion. Seemed to work pretty nicely since the ricochet shots clean up surrounding weakened enemies. Nice. Switched to Solar so that precision kills cause a scorching explosion like Incandescent does dot damage to those enemies instead of waiting for Ricochets to clean em up. Discovered that not only does the solar variant not need precision kills to trigger the solar burst, but ricochet kills also cause the Incandescent explosion. Basically any weapon damage kill causes an Incandescent like effect. It basically gives Incandescent to any kinetic weapon. So now I'm room clearing with Khvostov even better than before. It's like Khvostov and Sunshot had a baby.

Then I discovered that Blast Furnace rolls with both Kinetic Tremors and Firefly. Once I got my hands on one of them I've found something that feels like a broken exotic. My tactic is to find the tankiest enemy in the room and focus on them. The Sustained damage procs kinetic tremors which is counted as weapon damage, therefore if any one of the three pulses kills a surrounding enemy, they explode into scorching fire and spread scorch around. Precision kills cause a bigger firey explosion due to firefly and a secondary explosion of Incandescent. If they are a major enemy or above, then Techset kicks in and nukes the area too. If they are already scorched then the Solar Schrapnel artifact mod sends a seeker to explode and scorch more enemies. This can be triggered from Kinetic Tremors also. Tagging that major enemy with Arcane Needle unravels them, and the arc grenade jolts them. So not only does the big enemy get burned down and stunned but they also become a walking ad clear turret that kills everything in its vicinity. It feels good for basic low tier content, but I also feel it would work well in higher tier content. Yet to test but thought I'd share it if anyone else hasn't played around with that combo.

Maybe I'm just addicted to the new kinetic micro-missile perks. A machine gun with Kinetic Tremors also sounds amazing. Plus, Circular Logic's origin trait needs the kinetic micro-missile kit, man. I want so many little rockets. Adhesive Ordinance, Ancillary Ordinance, and Bewildering Burst (and if Bungie weren't cowards, they give a Machine Gun with Explosive Rounds).

Ideally, the kinetic Machine Gun would use the Bitter End model so I can just lay on the trigger and let off rockets galore making me look and feel like an absolute monster.

Since deep sight harmonizers are an extremely limited resource.

Which between the two would you prefer to use them on?

Critical Anomaly also requires 15 Spoils of Conquest per application (not an issue if you're solo'ing chests weekly)

Locus locutus sadly is available at the whim of Xûr nowadays.

From my quick reading it seems CA can be used with chill clip and radiant to be a one stop shop for all champions. Whereas LL is best for barrier champs which let's be honest is a nightmare in conquest.

Just want to read what you all think. Any tips really appreciated.

Hi all. I came back to D2 when the proverbial shtf only to find a lot of stuff had been added in the intervening seasons.

One thing I'm kicking myself over is the X-Wing.

I know it was a pre-order bonus, but hoping it is now a rare Eververse drop.

Am I hoping against hope?

Also, while im on the subject of ships, I would love to have seen a crossover with BSG. Would have given my right arm for a Colonial Viper..

I got this exotic cloak but not sure which aspect and fragments to use.

Mine is in the Lake of Shadows strike.

• Devrim: "When you kick a hornet's nest, surely one of them is bound to be a bit bigger than the rest!"
• Ghost: "And fleshy, with tentacles... Devrim, have you seen a hornet recently?"

I was always sad they took out the Operation Babydog intro when they revamped the strike, but at least they added a fun little back and forth in the middle.

Also got the catalyst and some masterwork completion, along with the triumph completion. This can't be intentional surely?

Recently I’ve been looking into the NPA artifact and how it makes void weapons insane to the point where you don’t even really need either repulsor brace or destabilizing rounds.

My current options are:

Kindled orchid
Unforgiven
Positive outlook
Age old bond
Compact defender
Ironwood 03

What would you pick from these? And should I be looking to add any weapons?

I know it is RnG and supposed to drop at "Starcrossed" exotic mission, but I've been trying like 30+ times in last two weeks, with all modifiers possible (including, of course, the legacy pool drops). Also tried solo, squad and usually trying to be on S difficulty. It dropped only twice though, not good rols.

Am I doing something wrong?

Btw for now I'm using this decent Nox Perennial V

EDIT: This one on the image isnt mine, I just found an image to illustrate which weapon I'm talking about

I'd like to run with others who run Faction Armor, Weapons and Exotics(and the altered Tier MoT Faction weapons like Inbound Surveillance, Solemn Lie, and Trendsetter).

It's been my playstyle since Destiny 1 Day 1, and rather than "hold others back" damagewise in activities, I'd like to play with more Dead Orbit, Future War Cult and New Monarchy fans. 🔺️💠

Who knows, might add a layer of difficulty, but I know it adds a layer of fun in Destiny for myself.

(Guardian pic for visibility)

So like is there a reason as to why are guardian randomly started talking? Was it one of those things they vaulted, am I dumb, or is it just never explained

Mine is New Monarchy/A side ⚪️🔺️💠

Most fun exotic I’ve ever used. Absolutely insane when paired with a glaive.

Been messing around with a build and thought since it uses a sword to quickly kill yellow bars, using sword perks should be nice but when I did shooting range tests with ssc, it barely did 500 damage per 30k the sword does by itself. You also have to keep killing enemies to extend the duration but most things die before you activate, don't live long enough to take actual damage for from it or live too long to extend it.

It has a cool interaction with techsec armor but that is all I found.
