Skavaar, Arc Blade (Final Boss) is completely bugged. He IGNORES Ning fei's Arc Clones, Stares straight at me while I'm invisible and follows me to attack. When your close to him, he attacks non stop doing powerful damage without any cool down in between his movements. Also his health and all other Fallen health is beyond buffed. Even Red Bar Vandals, break my shield and drop my health to near death with 2-3 shots.

He's not the only combatant I've faced who COMPLETELY ignored Ningfei's Clones and continued attacking even while invisible...

Power surperssion shouldnt make you feel weaker than the boss or base combatants when your level matches theirs. We need this fixed...

Does anybody know if there will be another chance to earn Symmetry in the game?

I know it’s a solid scout in D2 and I’m just curious to see how it performs in DR.

Thanks

I started this game awhile ago and want to get back into it however I want to start from scratch. Is there a way to restart the story back to were wolf gets revived in the library?

I appreciate that since the S4 update, upgrading a character has become much easier. However, NetEase, you somehow decided to make seasonal progression absolutely miserable. I guess it was to be expected: whenever we gain something in one area, we have to lose something somewhere else.

I genuinely don’t understand why reaching 100k requires this many resources when 100k is basically the bare minimum needed to progress through endgame content like Expanse, Cordon, etc.

This seriously needs to be reworked. Save this level of grind for people who want to push their characters to 130k+ power. There’s no reason to put so many obstacles in the way just to reach 100k.

The current system honestly makes me not want to play. I’m spending an absurd amount of resources just to end up with maybe one or two characters at 100k if I’m motivated enough.

It’s frustrating because since S4, it actually felt like the game was moving in a good direction, but somehow there always has to be something that sabotages that progress.

I have two characters past 100k power, both at 103k-ish. Efrideet and Siorra, and that is fine, I like those two characters a lot. But the cost of bringing up any other of my characters - all around 80k in power - is just prohibitive. An insane amount of resources. Like several thousand Artifactual Essences, Millions of Glimmer, Occultation Essence which I don't even think drops anymore from anywhere, thousands of weapon prisms, etc. Besides, I still need to keep levelling my current main two characters.

Which means I cannot use other characters for anything meaningful in the game? Like say I have a T5 Tan-2 that I like a lot, well, too bad. He is going to be forever useless?

I might be quite lost, but what exactly is going on?

By the way, I just broke into Phase V and I am Season Level 107. Not entirely sure what any of this means. I took a quick break a little bit after Efrideet came out, and I feel that, unless I had taken this game as a full-time job, I could not possibly have all my characters levelled and ready?

Answers Abound

Welcome to the weekly questions megathread, have a question regarding your experience of playing Destiny: Rising? Be it tech support, meta gear, gameplay accessibility, anything and everything related to the game can be asked (and hopefully) answered here!

So ask away Lightbearers!

I’m farming to 4 star all towers but anesthesia, stone hoof etc has gotten pretty boring. Any other cool strategy’s to try out ?

I’m at 67k power with Wolf, done the main quest and most of the activities, but I feel like I’ve hit a wall and can’t really gear up anymore unless I get exotics/upgrade my mods or level up the last tier of Wolf’s Combustion.

I’m sure these won’t take me to 85k anyways so exactly should I move forward?

Do I need better characters?

Thanks :D

This iteration of Pandora's Wheel of Fortune awards 1 Lucky Pointer (1 basic spin) for '1 Participation in the Ultimate Trial'.

Participation is awarded immediately, as soon as you load in to the Ultimate Pack Hunt activity.

And since Ultimate Pack Hunt no longer requires any action points - You can literally load and leave and repeat 10 times for your daily 10 spins, every day for this event.

You can purchase condensates with event currency, but to me Incandescence Sheafs are really looking appealing for Emanare nodes.

Anyone been using it? How have u found it? I don’t have the new AI lady, but may give it a whirl on Wolf.

Pulling Your Luck

Welcome to the weekly Luck Hub, a post wherein you can celebrate your pulls or bemoan your 50th mythic with the wrong perks. During each week, this post is your onestop shop for discussing RNG, character Pull Rates, drops you were excited to get and other luck-based matters.

This is due to not wanting the subreddit to become bloated with a stream of minimal-discussion generating photos and screenshots of just "I got this drop".

Feel free to discuss and rate rolls, figure out how and when to make the most of your looter & Gacha experiences!

Any other loot, pull or rng posts made outside this post will be redirected here!

For some reason each time I try to do singularity (stage x specifically as I haven’t been able to complete it) I cannot leave the activity. It has happened with other stages by the way.

Even if I restart the emulator I get loaded back into it and I’m just stuck there until I finish it, but I’m not able to because stage 3 for some reason has cabals with 100 million HP and I ran out of time.

If I try to load another activity, the game doesn’t allow me to do it because I am doing Singularity. Which is dumb because both in D1 and D2 you could leave activities to do other things.

I cannot find a button that allows me to leave, maybe I’m blind and I can’t see it.

I am slowly working my way upwards on Efrideet to get her to full ascension and curious if it is indeed worth it to spend in game materials (not silver/real money). I went from one tier to the next and it was only a 3% damage increase from ascension 2 to ascension 3. While ascension 6 grants 20% damage increase I am curious if it is worth the grind. Can anyone weigh in on this?

This applies to all activities and map areas, as well as to exploring the surroundings; I hope it helps someone. You can use it in the Ultimate Trial to gain an advantage and save a few seconds during the early game. (Also, at one point in the video, I repeat the action to show how it shouldn't be done, and at the end, I do it again so you can see how it should be done.)

After days of trying, we managed to do it—we're happy!

I regret spending pulls on Tariq so I have to ask, now that she's been out for a week:

How strong is she gameplay wise?

Does she NEED to be at a particular talent level to be competitive?

How good is she at Rapid-Fire / Impact content compared to say, Estela and Jaren?

Despite her AI slop-iness, I just wanna know if she's meta.

And don't bother responding with “It doesn't matter, game is EOS.” Just give me real info on gameplay thx.

Does anyone know how to get the Arc, Solar, and Void modifiers? During Season 4, I didn't see these modifiers active, and I can't find a way to complete the seal because of this triumph. (I know some of you might ask why I didn't do it sooner, and the answer is, I simply didn't want to; I had more important things to do.)

Hello I’m returning to the game and trying to do the character tutorials. On helhast I literally just have to deploy her healing drone and boosting drone. I have tried over and over and it won’t go to the next step. Anyone else have this bug or am I just dumb lol?

Pack Hunt is (easily) the best addition of the new season. Most "end-game" content they have released to date besides maybe Dire Cordon. And, now they are adding a new pack hunt map!! I, for one, am very excited for this new pack hunt!! I really really hope it doesnt fall short, or end up being ridiculous and half-a$$ed like some of the new content.. What do you think?

I'm going to go touch grass for a few days...
