The Last Word #103 - May 15th - The "Lie" Quest, Weapon Sunsetting, Rewards Engram Changes, Year 4 May 16, 2020

Show notes

This week we got a new quest called "The Lie" to start wrapping up Season of the Worthy. We needed to do 9 million Seraph Tower Public Events, 3 million on each EDZ, IO & the Moon. I didn't take long for many to point out that our pace wasn't going to allow us to finish in time. Bungie made the events easier and added a 5x during the week and 10x multiplier to help us speed this process along. Either the math was originally done wrong or they overestimated how many would want to do it, either way it hit the community at a bad time after lots of grinding this season. We also got a juicy twab that opened up some clarity on Weapon Sunsetting, what weapons we would be saying goodbye to and when and how this would work going forward. The community was somewhat divided on this issue but we took a deep dive about what it could all mean. They also clarified how Seasonal gear would be rewarded in Season 11 [redacted] engrams and our ability to focus those engrams towards what we would like to ear and the fact we could earn those throughout the entire game. This seems like a good change over all. We are only a few weeks away from the end of the Season and the start of the next. Curious where we go from here.

The Last Word #102 ft cbgray - May 8th - Eververse, Rewards, Transmog, Aspirational Rewards, Engrams May 16, 2020

Show notes

This week we had cbgray join us on the podcast and got to know his history of Destiny and his journey as a content creator. We got his take on top raids and moments of the franchise as well. We discussed the TWAB for May 8th which had Luke Smith talking about changes coming in Year 4 and Season 12 and beyond. Rewards will be improving. Vanity or Cosmetics will be spread more into game activities and less in Eververse. Aspirational content will have new armor tied to the activity each year. Core activities will be getting new armor and weapons as well in Year 4 and beyond. Many good things are coming next year, and while Season 11 is nearly in motion already, the fall looks very promising.

The Last Word #101 - Guardian Games Info, Hardlight Nerf, Season, Bounties & more May 02, 2020

Show notes

This week we first discussed a bit more about Guardian Games, the data we received in the TWAB with regards to what people thought was some type of cheating to allow Titans to keep winning every day. Hardlight got a bit of a change, but the catalyst keeps it a bit more viable still. They also talked more about changes coming in year 4 of Destiny 2. Seasons will stay as the model but content will stick around longer. Currencies might be seasonal but activities, quests & even some rewards will be available for longer times and wider places. Bounties have received a lot of flack recently for being the main focus of the game and they want to work on changing that. It's not exactly clear how it would happen but only time will tell. Season 13 (think Dec 2020) we might get to see bounty pick up in orbit. Next week they will be discussing Eververse which more and more is getting on everyone's nerves.

The Last Word #100 ft MyNameIsBYF - Destiny 2 Lore, Trials Change, Fixes & Cheating Addressed, Seasonal Model Thoughts Apr 26, 2020

Show notes

#TheLastWord #MyNameIsByf #Destiny2
This week was special as we got to celebrate out Centennial episode with MyNameIsByf. He is the the Lore Professor of Destiny 2 and we got to go deep into many topics with him, past, present and future for the story of Destiny. Next we get into the status of Trials. Tokens have made some issues arise, Flawless Loot feels lacking and could use some changes as well. Cheating is an issue as well and went deeper into acknowledging which cheats they are seeing on both PC and console, and some fixes they can't fully explain to not help the cheaters. Finally we discussed the Seasonal model, how it works but isn't perfect and can still improve as we move forward. It was an amazing episode and couldn't have been more honored to have the Lore Professor himself celebrate our 100th. Thank you all!

The Last Word #99 ft Mr_Ar3s - Trials Status, Pyramid Ship, Future Season Speculation, Guardian Games Apr 18, 2020

Show notes

This week we have a great guest Mr_Ar3s, a great community mod and does a lot of behind the scenes for the Destiny world. After that we got into a discussion about where Trials of Osiris is at right now and the thoughts of a pretty avid player from our guests. That led into the discussion of what could come next season and also in the fall with the Pyramid Ships slowing growing in number each week. Guardian Games launches next week along with other things and for the mid season update so lots to do come Tues. Represent your class well and you could have the gold class item when its all said and done.

The Last Word #98 - Story Implications - Pyramid Ships - Next-Gen Destiny - GrandMaster Nightfalls Apr 18, 2020

Show notes

This week we got started talking about the IO bunker reveal and the Zavala cut scene we got as a Bunker Clear. Zavala talked with Rasputin a bit more openly than usual and we get a projection and wall lights showing the looming pyramid ships coming close. We speculate the order of events that will be coming to the world of Destiny 2. We also get into what Destiny Next Gen (Destiny 3) could look like with the new SSD capabilities. We do dive into the Grandmaster nightfall reveal later in the episode and our thoughts on how this does seem to be a misstep in a few ways both the timing of the reveal, lack of earlier communication, rewards being lackluster and more. Stay safe out there!

The Last Word #97 ft Man_at_Arms2112 - Trials Woes & needed Fixes, Hardlight meta thoughts, Bungie w/out Activision? Apr 04, 2020

Show notes

On the podcast this week we have our guest, Man At Arms, and this episode may have a bit more language in it but its a great listen. We discuss the state of Trials with regards to cheating, rewards, meta weapons like Hard Light, and its Longevity. We also discussed the idea that is Bungie doing a better job with Destiny 2 since the departure from Activision. Seasons and activities right now are light for PvE and Trials isn't hitting. It's an odd time in Destiny for sure.

The Last Word #96 ft CaptainMcFly - Moon Bunker, Trials Issues?, Hardlight Dominance, Future Subclasses Mar 28, 2020

Show notes

This week we have CaptainMcFly join us to discuss first his history in shooters, gaming and esports which was quite interesting. Don't underestimate this Dad, he's likely a better shot than you are. We then get into talking about Trials and Hardlight both which are quite prominent on weekends in Destiny right now. The moon bunker was underwhelming and maybe we can get a crazier world in Destiny 3. Twab didn't have much but a small armor change is coming. Enjoy this episode.

The Last Word #95 w/ Guest Brian Moncus Art - Destiny Art, Fourth Horseman, Trials, Season Pass, Iron Banner coming Mar 21, 2020

Show notes

This week we have an awesome Artist in the Destiny Community, Brian Moncus art of https://www.brianmoncusart.com/. We first discussed his journey as an artist and how he has grown to be one of the key Destiny Artists in this community. Then we spoke out the journey to The Fourth Horseman new exotic Shotgun. The trailer dropped to spoil any possible surprise, and then we got to the quest. It was rather grindy but its really tough to ask for epic exotic quests ALL the time from Bungie as they are stretched fairly thin. Do you want less quality or more filler content, its a tough call. After that we got into the discussion of where Trials of Osiris is at and thoughts about its various rewards, errors and so forth. Iron Banner comes next week but we don't have much more than a couple new bunkers in the coming weeks. Guess its still on the wait and see mentality unless you are really jumping heavy into Trials.

The Last Word #94 - Season of the Worthy Launch, Seraph Tower & Bunker, Grandmaster Ordeals & Trials of Osiris Mar 14, 2020

Show notes

This week Lord Cognito and I discussed our thoughts and community rumblings regarding the Launch of Season of the Worthy. Is the grind a little to heavy, are the Power Level Requirements too high. Obelisks 2.0 and few weapons do limit the appeal to many players. Trials launched today so we will discuss that next week, but let us know your thoughts about trials and Season of the Worthy for you so far.
