Review

This week I completed the Fatebreaker Seal by completing the gatekeeper challenge in Master Vault of Glass.  In addition we had the last bit of the season’s story, the “Epilogue” cutscene in which the Vex have invaded the Last City and are repelled by St. XIV, Mithrax, Ikora, Amanda Holliday, and Zavala — with an assist from us, of course.  It’s been a great season story-wise and I am excited for the next season and Witch Queen next year.

Thursday, I did a dungeon crawl with random weapon loadouts with Lostsight5 and NeoMadDog.  The dungeons are some of Destiny’s best spaces and it’s always good to go through them again.  And Destiny is indeed better played with friends, so I am grateful to have a regular time set up with them to game.

Other than that I spent my time in the Crucible, both in Control and Survival (Freelance) on my own and in Trials on Saturday morning.  The Trials map was Endless Vale and the cards went quite smoothly — we took a couple of losses but no resets.  I was generally satisfied with my play but am increasingly frustrated by the FoV/aiming difference going back to the old-gen Xbox makes.  I am hoping that switching to old-gen won’t be necessary this upcoming season, and indeed am eager to find out what changes they have planned for Trials.

I continue to have fun playing trials though it is hard to determine if I am getting better or making any progress. I gave some feedback in my last post and it bears reemphasizing that some form of ranked mode would be a godsend.

Preview

This is the last week of the season and there is nothing left that I have to do.  I’m not planning on playing Trials this week because I have family plans.  If the uzume sniper is the nightfall loot I will likely try to farm a decent roll, and of course I will raid with Team Fabulous on Wednesday and play with Lostsight and Neo on Thursday.  Beyond that I am just waiting for any information at all about the new season, including the weapons changes that are going to be announced in Thursday’s TWAB.
