@AWP Looked in my collections and saw I, at one time, did have the GH.....guess I dismantled it...and of course I can't re-acquire it, suxs.
On another note....had to stay home today and wait on city inspectors. So, got back into D2 and finally got my stasis subclass....fun campaign for that. Was hoping to have another chance at the GH...but no luck yet.
I had a question, I did use a rocket launcher, but changed out to the Seraph SAW. Never really warmed to the sword, but see a lot of people using them....is the sword worth using? or is it more about gameplay style?

It depends. Some scenarios require a ranged weapon, some can use a sword. Swords are insanely powerful right now, the Falling Guillotine legendary and the Lament exotic are hands down the best. Swords are taking a 15% nerf on Tuesday, but the Lament will still be good. (It is a chain sword that can pierce barriers on Barrier Champions. We can discuss Nightfalls and high level lost sectors in a separate post if you want) With rocket launchers getting an ammo buff and a whopping 30% damage buff on Tuesday they might become meta for PvE, I don't know.
Enter Xenophage which you can run most of the quest to obtain solo. (I think the last phase in the dungeon needed three people unless are very good at PvE, enter the Destiny LFG Discord channel for a fireteam) An insanely slow firing, hard hitting exotic machine gun, with armor mods you can stack either 28 or 32 rounds total with 13 in the magazine. The exotic grenade launcher Anarchy is also retarded OP for PvE, but I think that quest is gone, though you might be able to buy it in the Tower now, I don't know.
Bungie killed off most machine guns with sunsetting. I think 2 or 3 will be available in the upcoming season, Aztecross just did a video about some of the weapons making a return.
Sorry to disappoint, but I'm carried in every game I play.
I played the hell out of D3 until Destiny 2 put it's hooks in me. I'm glad to see Blizzard had added some new armor sets and all while D4 struggles into 2022. I played a few weeks of this season and enjoyed one of the new sets for the Demon Hunter.
Considering Diablo 3 had a poor launch and Destiny had the same (I think for both 1 and 2), you'd like to think the companies learned. I don't think so. The cost to make a AAA game is something like 60+ million dollars, so there's a strong desire to get a product on the market now and sort out the bugs later. Paradox Interactive makes some amazing top-level strategy games that usually require a DLC (no kidding) to fix. I think it was early Hearts of Iron 4 days (but maybe HoI 3) where 1 carrier and a few destroyers could annihilate an entire nation's navy. That wasn't truly patched until the first DLC, only small-ish nerfs to carriers.
With Bungie now an independent studio, I think they will release something and sort out the problems later because of the costs. Hell, it took a year to nerf One-Eyed Mask.
I wonder how long it will take for an industry-wide $70 per game standard to happen.
Wait, Bungie got out from the MS thumb? How'd that happen?
They signed with Activision, but left that deal in 2019. MS was in talks w/ Bungie around the time of the Activision split, but declined to pay whatever Bungie wanted. Bungie has morphed into a Developer-Publisher, but without Activision's or Microsoft's subordinate smaller studios, Bungie has to work on everything in house.
Sony wanted the IP for TV and maybe movies. Bungie was already working on the former and it will be interesting to see what happens under Sony.
Well I’ve finally become a nerd. A buddy convinced me to buy Elden Ring and I’ve been throughly enjoying it. I also suspect my anger management issues will cause me to have a heart attack from the game. Finally beat Radhan tonight after 10 or so tries.

I quit Sekiro about 1/2 way through; after countless YouTube tutorials, I just could not get passed a certain spot and realized I never would.
Going to start Elder Ring this week, thinking I will play the Samurai; he seems most well rounded for a beginner.
Lord knows I don't have time for games at the moment but super excited to see you both enjoying!

My destiny clan and I finally made it to the new raid boss after trying, and epically failing, the first 24 hour challenge.
Non-contest mode doesn’t hold a candle to that freaking challenge…ugh…

I’ve rage quit so many times. lol
I’m also a samurai but you can really spec your character any way you want. Are you on Xbox? If so text me your username.

Ya, the amount of symbols is crazy.
I feel like the raid is actually relatively straight forward and uncomplicated, but punishes you harder for mistakes than DSC or VOG while also requiring a more coordinated team.
So far, I’m really enjoying it and I’m hoping we can take rhul down Monday before reset.
I bought the Mig 29 today in Flight Sim. Thing kill’s me from the aircraft over stressing before my pilot passes out from g’s.
