Honestly I feel like this is the first "season that dropped with expansion" since Shadowkeep that was actually good, Undying and the Hunt just didn't hit the mark
I totally agree with this, honestly I can’t even recall what happened in season of the Undying and Hunt just had boring activities. The story from Hunt wasn’t necessarily bad but it could’ve been better definitely
I really liked undying. Was it the best season ever no. But as a first season roetty great. Plus it did bring the random vex attacks to the moon wich were really cool. I really enjoy it when season affect the overworld
@@joemoe650 I wish they could bring those back to the moon
Agreed. I rank it Risen > Undying > Hunt. I feel like fighting some of the vex on the moon and Garden of Salvation were so tied to Undying that it feels weird doing those without the season being around anymore. Hunt just lacked so much content it was just 4 story missions 😂
@@somedude1887 Season of the Hunt had a bunch of stuff that probably needed cutscenes to be done justice, but they unfortunately had to do it via text files. Death of Sagira, Osiris losing his light, arrival of the Celebrant, etc.
This season had the perfect amount of content to go along side a yearly expansion. It never overshadowed witch queen content but it was never forgotten.
agreed
I forgot vox quickly. No matchmaking and near impossible to solo.
Honestly surprised how...short this story was. To the point where I wondered if I'd missed anything. BUT then again they gave us WQ at the same time so...yeah I guess we can let a short story along with their best expansion/content so far slide for a season.
thats how i felt. when the season was practically over like 5 weeks in, I was like man this felt super short, but then I realized that they did also drop wq so i am glad we didnt' get two heavy things to deal with
yeah, i did a stupid and bought the pass yesterday without looking at the time, but wq def makes up for it
@@ironCondor623 look up some vids on xp farming. You could get it fully done in a day or 2 of grinding
"I guess we can let it slide" Yeah you will, not like you have a say in the story beats.
@@ExtraordinaryFate it's an expression homie lol
Datto you really need to craft a "Under Your Skin" bow with successful warmup and archer's tempo...
It'll change your mind REAL quick about that bow!
I’m not really much of a bow guy but yeah this one really grew on me.
I prefer archer’s tempo and explosive head, just feels right
I've got that same roll and it really does feel good.
Yes also adaptive munitions enhaced and exploding head breaks barriers in one shot
@@joshw0078 .....to bad that roll is impossible to craft. As both of those are on the same column.
13:59 Ok, seeing you two sync supers was pretty cool, that's a trailer moment right there.
Love the “thoughts” videos. Keep up the good work, Datto!
Love you datto, helped every single destiny player
I like these videos. Not only does it provide like a snapshot and moment in time, but it allows you and us to process our thoughts and feelings and memories of this season and period, get it out there, and let it go and look to the future for what's new and upcoming and hopefully very fun.
I can’t explain how excited I am for solar and mostly arc 3.0
Hey glad to hear streams are gonna be archived. Awesome!
Thanks for creating the stream archive channel. It gives me more Destiny content to watch and I’d be happy to give you the views.
As a Behemoth Titan whose been using stasis kinetic and heavy weapons, Dead Messenger can be very helpful for having all elements if I need shield breakage. Or the throw Glacier nade then break it entirely with one gl shot combo is great!
Cant believe I didnt think of this lol I run eyasluna and palmyra on behemoth but could never figure out an energy weapon that fit. Totally stealing this thank you
@@Subsistence69 the exotic titan glaive lets you shoot a bubble that your super will spawn all the crystals around the bubble and blow up immediatly like how it usta work with ward of dawn but now you do it all solo. Also itll give ya even more overshield next season with the bufs to have in your tanky behemoth set up.
@@connoringram4948 yeah I would’ve definitely been running the glaive if it didnt suck ass 😂 will most definitely be making it into the loadout next season since it will function like an actual bubble
also that sync behemoth at 14:00 was great
Oh that's some brilliant quality of life change. Going to watch a whole lot of streams!
Sweet I'm going to watch every datto stream from now on
thank you datto, i love going back to see first reactions of old destiny releases.
GREAT VIDEO DATTO, REALLY ENJOYED IT, THANKS
The machine gun with stats and one for all is actually pretty damn good. Once MGs get buffed again, it should be very strong.
Subs/headstone
Stats for all/headstone is super good also, breaking the headstone crystal around enemies will proc stats for all
Subsistence, rampage
Crafted mine to shoot like a laser
13:59 was so sick popping both supers at the same time
Man I absolutely loved saladmans development in season of the risen. Crow was a bit irritating but if it's for the bigger picture, let it be. Can't wait to see more
Crow doesn't seem to have any real use. He's like a child just waiting to do something wrong.
@@markmurex6559 because he actually is someone who questions thing i admire him more, far from childish imo
@@pooPbutwhole Finally. You're the first person I've seen say that they realize that Crow's naivety and empathy offers a new way of considering and looking at things, even if he's not always totally right. He's a fresh perspective to the average Guardian mindset, which is clearly part of his character's purpose.
Hey Datto great video, i really loved the brief story recap in "simple" words, the lore channels are really good but sometimes i just need a 5min speech and not a 30min one full of lore lol looking forward to the next one! been following you since day one D1, keep it up
13:58 That was a badass super use sync with your teammate
Dope on the stream archive
Recurrent Impact with subsistence frenzy/headstone has been my go to weapon the entire season. I got 21% Delirium vibes from it and i LOVED that.
Thank you for reminding me to craft a recurrent impact. Can't wait to play with it next season
It is currently the best legendary machine gun, imo.
That Pokémon collection in the background is beautiful datto
The exotic MG needs a little tracking on the regular projectiles. I also hate how much it bucks, feels like I miss half my shots.
A little more stability and a touch of tracking would go a long way imo.
100%. Super unreliable.
I agree with a boost of stability but I think that instead of tracking they should just up the velocity a tiny bit. But that’s just me, I never really like when tracking is on weapons that aren’t rocket launchers
YES! I miss with half my shots due to the charge time and slow projectile speed.
@@somedude1887 I agree with the velocity bump. When a cabal is launching slugs at us its damn near hit scan but ours is firing actual 🐌 it feels like
I think that the recoil direction could be tuned a bit, and I'd prefer the projectile speed be increased rather than it gain tracking.
Many of the weapons were surprisingly good this season. The WQ stuff was great, but yes- the actual seasonal content was minimal.
I would just like to say that I would be way more interested in Grand Overture if I could deactivate the missile mode without having to expend them all and instead keep some banked for later. Makes the blind effect from the catalyst interesting utility-wise and as such make me more likely to swap into it for general combat - also that'd make me less desperate to hoard a stack of 20 only to get feels bad if I die before getting to use it on something big and tanky.
I hate the charge time. I miss a lot with it.
I think the blind effect from the catalyst should just apply to regular bullets as well as the special mode. It's not like that would really be overpowered, it has a charge time and uses heavy ammo, and the blinding competition is special ammo with no charge time.
@@Duke_Exeter I think with the upcoming buffs you're gonna want to use it for some DPS, especially if its arc 3.0 - having a toggle back and forth for utility and bonus dps works best, I think - makes player choice at the forefront rather that just aim -> shoot -> blind -> profit imo
Swapping weapons deactivates the missile mode.
@@Castitalus this is not real. If you do your special reload you will gain "volley ready" meaning your loaded missiles will now fire. Swapping weapons does not remove this and neither does another special reload. You are stuck firing missiles til you've spent them all once activated, hence my original comment.
DADDY DATTO WITH ANOTHER VIDEO LETS GO 🙏😭
Hi datto, would you ever be willing to post all of the blind runs of raids that your team did? I know you posted the Last Wish full 1st clear and I liked just watching you and your team try to figure it out. Thanks for the vids over the years!
glad to see the twich streams are coming to the archive
I look forward to rewatching Datto’s world’s 2nd Lightfall raid in a few years
I truly enjoyed this season.
Agree with much of your opinions.
Thanks for a thoughtful and concise review.
BTW, can we get a Reckoning type addendum to Gambit again? I'm so bored by Gambit that I may not get the ornament this season, but just cringe when I have to go into solo queue and not many in our clan play Gambit anymore. It's played out.
You made a great point by the end of the video, the not knowing, the surprise aspect is exciting, it's what gives a certain magic to something, it made me hyped for season 17 more than other seasons where i knew exactly what was happening, I'm seeing a lot of people in the community freaking out right now cause they don't know what they're getting, and i really don't understand that, but hey to each their own i suppose, i just think that knowing everything before something isn't that fun. Back in the day when you played a game for the first time, especially D1, it had this magic of figuring it out by yourself and i think that's something lacking nowadays in games in general.
I've used Grand Overture for the entirety of the legendary campaign. It worked well as a boss slapper if charged with kills on the adds.
That super sync at 13:58 tho!
Subbed to the new channel Datto great content creator keep up the good work👍
Love this! I can never remember it all due to how disjointed each week is.
i gave up on D2 a long time ago and i still watch these videos.
You must love to waste time.
The timegated upgrades is what kills seasons for me
Datto vods finally on YT? Say no more chief, insta-subbed
Im so glad we can watch more of you dad 🫶🥵
Grand Overture feels clunky to use. It doesnt fire right away when you click and the projectile is very slow. Also, why would you want to fire only 5 or 10 missiles when you can load up to 20 missiles right? but I like the theme of it though.
it's being changed to have both functions, so that's a non issue. but yeah it still feels pretty clunky regardless
STREAM ARCHIVE YESSSSS
The volatile titan aspect is my favorite one. It's actually insane
I enjoyed season 16...and I'm looking forward to next season.
I agree with your point about Bungie keeping story stuff & a lot of stuff behind a curtain prior to a season release. But I think we should get a hype teaser on sandbox/artifact focused weapons, sub-class 3.0, etc.
I literally have Seasonal anxiety that i didn't do a lot of content this season but am relieved it is not going away next season
wow the machine gun buff sounds sick. i still have a vorpal weapon seventh seraph
I did like how Saladins view on the Cabal, well Caiatl's Cabal changed over the season. Where both parties begin to notice similarities in their warrior cultures. Such as rites of passage, honoring the dead etc etc. Sometimes fighting alongside an enemy for so long helps you understand that you are not too different. Caiatl notices this as well and even gloats that Saladin might actually like being on her war council. Hell, Caiatl actually encouraged Saladin to set up a Cabal version of the Iron Banner and even provided some "improvements" to it. Even allowing him to return to the Tower and run the Vanguards Iron Banner. I also liked how Crow was willing to accept responsibility for his actions and was going to give his life as payment over what happened. Such a massive contrast to Uldren "Everything I did, I did for her" Sov. Where Uldren would've done what he did during Forsaken regardless if Riven was whispering in his ear or not.
It is also interesting how Saladins inclusion and promotion has caused many Cabal to defect to Calus and The Witness.
Grand Overture takes some getting used to, but after using in pretty much every activity outside of GMs, I can say that it is very strong. It became my primary heavy weapon for Gambit. Definitely give it a chance if you vaulted early in the season.
If there's one thing i didn't like about Vox Obscura was how the combination of the timer and huge assortment of champions conflicted with the master difficulty of the mission.
datto what do you think about the new perk zorpal weapon
please make a video about it
Datto helps me sleep at night with his subpar GM Gameplay 😴
Oof
Oh you didnt like controlled demo? The healing with volatile flow felt pretty good
Did he mention the new dungeon we getting?
Next season looks pretty good by me if we get something like grasp again.
Love that place.
I watch every single episode, waiting for you to drop the nail polish.
Hey Datto, love the idea of archiving streams, but do be swear that twitch TOS requires 24 hours between stream and uploading on another site
A machinegun worrth keeping a VERY close eye on next season is actually the VoG one, Corrective Measure.
First of all, it has an adept variant, so adept big ones spec + some small stat bumps. But more importantly, it's an adaptive (450rpm, same as Hammerhead) machine gun which can roll Rewind Rounds + High-Impact Reserves. Which is a very strong combo with some great synergy (the same roll that is really good on Preadyth's Revenge (outside of the fact that it's still a sniper in pve)).
Pair that with extended mag or something and you'll be doing some pretty good sustained DPS next season.
edit: Oh, and it's void, so volatile rounds, although that'll matter less next season since you'll need a grenade kill
Question about the stream channel: Will your stream *highlight* videos be staying here, are they moving to the new channel, or will they be discontinued entirely?
Since grand overature is not a crit based weapon so it is pretty good on bosses where a crit is harder to hit. Its pretty good on caretaker especially when he wants to spin during damage phase. Not as good when div is present since then you can more easily hit crits with other guns.
I’m really exited to see if thunder lord is going to be good
Osteo + necrotic grips = best last room seasonal activity farm ever!
14:00 perfection
Regarding the Glaives, as a hunter I stopped using them after the suppression changes lol. Got it to level 43, havent used it since.
Grand overture honestly has amazing ammo econ and is very good in arc burn shit, I used it in some mid tier content and then again in the first week of gg in the arc burn it slapped, dead messenger being like borealis is cool and honestly it gets lots of pvp use and is decent in match game since wave frames are good, perfectly balanced imo.
Datto what is the deal with the seasonal Critical Insight triumph ? Im season rank 300 and have focused countless engrams and the bloody thing still won't complete. Very deflating tbh.
the legend himself
I would've really liked a wrap-up week at the end, like Season of the Lost had. Bring us back into the story before moving forward.
Tbf we had guardian games, not quite the same thing but hey its something
I don't understand why Bungie made rituals "stepping stone" weapons. By the time someone grinds out a certain activity enough to even unlock the weapon, they most likely have a better roll of another gun. I have not used a ritual weapon in a few seasons now
Salvo is still really good (just doesnt work great atm bc Void 3.0 focused on well builds), and Null Composure is pretty good, cant think of any void legendary fusions that are better. Adored suffers from snipers as a whole struggling in pve
@@timcal2136 I'm the first in line to defend Null Composure but I think it's safe to say that Snorri eats it's lunch now. Compulsive reloader + reservoir burst is disgusting, especially with the added damage of the archetype, and it has much better PVP rolls. That said it was the best at it what it did for a long time and same with salvo. Adored is still top tier in PVP. Reckless endangerment is just garbage, especially when you can get wastelander anytime or riiswalker from iron banner with almost double the range.
we love you datto
Hey datto just a question: is it a problem that I have 55 title smgs in my vault?
Personally, I like glaives just because they are fun. Sure, they arent the best, but I like my big hittin’ stick.
Agreed! Not everything has to be endgame meta... glaives are fun to mess around with in strikes and lower level content.
@@KyleJWest-vn9kn Stole the words right from my mouth. Please give them back.
I like the versatility of glaives. Pairing one with Outbreak Perfected gives me close- and long-range chip options while a rocket launcher gives me burst damage. It just feels like a balanced loadout with few weaknesses.
@@christianglassel9950 that’s what I tend to run when im not doing weapon levelling
@@KyleJWest-vn9kn also fun in the random crucible match. Not everyone expects the 2 smack kill
How about full Vow of the Disciple day one stream?
One is for sure about season 17. It will be talked about. We were in the dark about both Arrivals and Worthy. If it's good it's another Arrivals. If it's bad it's another Worthy.
I’m gonna put the stream videos on whilst I play weekend league on fifa from now
More Datto what's not to love!!
Yes we want to watch more of you because you are cool
dude 5:30 since i saw that as a perk way back in week 2 i liiterely stoped using volatile flow and i have a very VERY VERYYYY AGGRESIVVE ability spam build for my titan that allows me to have all the perks without using any of the seasonal mods, i have devour on orb pickup, oversheild on sheil throw, volatile rounds on greadne kills and all the mods that i need to get them all back in seconds
Thou have blessed us mere mortals with a video! We must begin the ritual of thanking! SPAM THE THANKS!!!
I'm guessing volatile rounds mod will come back as something you slot for 5 instead of just 2
Babe wake up Datto posted his season closing thoughts
Dead messenger helped me get through the legendary campaign after I completed it the first time
Datto, I always want more of you bbg
I did have a lot of fun with this season. I haven't had as much time to play so there's still a few things I wish I could knock out just not enough time. :(
Are you not using controlled demolition in pve?
PvE glaives < PVP Glaives is where its at and the buffs they are getting next season i think will make them a contender they are pretty amazing once you learn how to use them well. It takes a bit to learn but mastering it can easily take down numerous grouped up guardian back and for the exotic glaives some maybe worth it next season like the hunters and titans, the warlock may need more testing, but the hunter glaive will be good for pve.
I know this isn't super important, but what Scout Rifle is Datto using in this? (in the Grand Overture segment starting at 10:07)
It's called the Servant Leader, it only drops from Gambit.
I prefer if they do every season reveal like like this, I want the bare bones of what’s happening, and I hope to be surprised when I get on post season reset
i liked it but i feel the pre witch queen grind i did burnt me out after just doing the 4 weeks of story. i need to get back in but ill wait for the season
11:56 I've been using then void machine gun from DSC and its pretty nasty with volatile rounds and procing reconstruction for fat magazine size
Wish i had that
Do you know if wellspring weapons still be available in s17? I'm newish to d2 and want to try and unlock pattern for Fel taradiddle.
Love your vids man. They are really helpful 👍
Wellspring weapons will be available for at least 3-4 years, until Witch Queen is sunset.
I truly think glaives are only missing one thing imo; removing the waiting period between shot and melee.
I dont think is asking for too much, especially out of a weapon nobody uses. But it would genuinely make the feeling of wielding a glaive feel like youre wielding a polearm, not a sidearm
I really enjoyed this season. Even though the story lasted only a few weeks. And honestly what I liked about that was that unlike past seasons I didn't feel tied down to Destiny. I finished the story, I played all the Psyops missions, I got all the weapons, I leveled up my battle pass to 100 and that was it. For the first time in a long time I got to enjoy other games other than Destiny because I wasn't waiting for a lingering season to finish. I feel like this season was perfectly balanced for a $10 seasonal expansion. Overall I give this season a 9 out of 10.
If you have access to your old streams please upload them to the stream channel please, like some of the destiny streams, some old day 1 streams that are not available on twitch. Please that would be amazing and would love to go through some of the early streams.
My favorite season of all time is season of the splicer and the final 4 weeks of this season is we’re amazing but for a 3 months season this feels half baked kinda wished we got more than just 3 psi ops
Crow has been involved in so much of the story and i still feel like I couldnt tell you a thing about him
I like the way you say “CAI-TUL”
13:58
Nice
its amazing how many people are angry about no info about the new season. I agree with you, its exciting going into a new season blind.
