I thought Bungie was telling the truth, that they learned their lesson with Stasis. I fully expected to be able to build into Strand during the campaign. I wasn't prepared to do 90% of the campaign on a light subclass. I was really disappointed.
@@TheLegendaryLegacy exactly. And it’s funny people say that they’re “disappointed” because back in Beyond Light everyone was complaining about “it takes too long to get stasis” like bro Bungie just can’t win it seems. Like wtf do people even want.
@@ravenRedwake well the difference is that We’ve had the light subclasses since D1. We literally JUST got strand. So where would we go to “buy” it you know?

@david corodeanu I'd rather have this then be doing bounties for weeks on end. It's a grind but it's far better than the hell that was the stasis fragments. Anyone who waits until the timegate ends can just get them all in one go.
I think they should change the Warlock Melee to where it’s 1.5 minutes for the THREE melee charges to be recharged at once, but they do less damage. That way you can experience that cool ass animation every time. Like, in the trailers they show the triple warlock animation that you RARELY EXPERIENCE, in-game, because it takes 2-3 business days to get ONE melee charge back. Also, give us the option to have the grapple ONLY for mobility, with no melee at the end. (Reducing the cooldown by 60%-70%)
The 3 melees do so much damage to compensate for not having a grenade when you use Grapple. Also, I’m like 95% sure they’ll just reduce the PvP damage of the Grapple melee and reduce the Grapple cooldown to what it is in the campaign like people want it to be
Mission checkpoints are super nice. It means you can start a mission if you don’t have too much time and hop off when you need to and keep you progress so your time isn’t wasted. Like mods and loadouts…. The quality of life changes with Lightfall were by far the best part of the expansion….even if the story didn’t pay off anywhere close to Witch Queen… buildcrafting, quality of life, and difficulty balance is definitely in the best place it’s ever been for me
Time gating is annoying as hell but I'll take this over having to farm in the core playlists week over week with annoying objectives that were way too specific after all the stasis nerfs came through. Haven't bothered to finish the Campaign yet but at least now I know unlocking the subclass fully isn't gonna be difficult for me.
Honestly tho it does give us a reason to be on the new destination and hopefully bungie gives us reasons to come back story wise as well throughout the year. Whereas we went to the throne world several times and then fucked off. Only time we go back is for killing rhulk for the 80000000th time and then dipping.
i havent had time to finish the campaign because work. i have to solo it but i've already got some strand meditations. nice to know what they're for and how to use them (thanks cross!) i like the way it's all set up for strand this season. might not be perfect, but it's way better than anything else we've had for other subclasses.

@@bonez994 this tbh if they release everything ppl will get all in day 1 and complain it was too short and theres nothing to do if they time gate ppl will complain about that too there is no winning for them
Honestly, i don't even feel like farming strand, it was fun in the campaign with infinite cooldowns but outside of that strand feels quite underwhelming and weak with extremely long cooldowns.
Many of the currently time gated fragments assit cool downs, one gives grenade energy for litterally just doing damage I feel like that's why the cooldowns are so long, but before we can use those fragments yea it feels weak
ngl suspend is super powerful especially against champions and builds that use it will be amazing especially in nightfalls Suspend is actually so strong on titan you can keep a champion unable to do anything at all for about ~24 seconds
@@augstradus I think a lot of people don’t notice you can have infinite uptime on grapple with warlock if you use a tangle. Which you can generate if you get a strand kill. Early on long cooldowns was a problem for me so I just started throwing tangles grappling to them into a group of enemies grapple meleeing and rinse and repeat. Didn’t lose my grapple, my melee chargers kept coming back and I had super on a short cool down generating orbs. The build is there but it’s way more technical and you can’t button mash
I think it’s really disappointing that high value targets only give 7 or so strand meditation and a blue, meanwhile beyond light and witch queen gave us a guaranteed purple from the DLC weapon pool
The absolute OVERUSE of strand empowerment makes it feel so slow in everything else. These super high costs don’t help. I’m honestly so disappointed with what happened to our web-slinging kickass hopes. Plz buff bungo
I like how Bungie realized people would finish all of light falls minimal content in a day or two so they put this roadblock in. What great value for a $50 expansion.
@@lodapow173??? Timegating does exactly that, it puts you in the mindset where your constantly thinking about the game If I could unlock all of strand (which you can now) in 1 sitting then guess what, no more to do, no addiction Withholding a Dopamine hit is quite litterally how you feed addiction, that's manipulation tactic number 1
This method of upgrading is actually pretty good. Compared to just a straight levelling system, its better and more involved and compared to quest based upgrade system, its 100000x better.
I was doing some testing yesterday while I was playing. And the mod on your ghost public defender increases the amount of strand you'll get too. Not sure on the percentages for all the public events and stuff. But every information helps.
The grind is real took me 4 days to just unlock the super and the basic fragments after doing the campaign on legendary since I have a 8-6 job Not interested in doing it 2x more guess only hunter strand I’ll get to use
I've found that doing patrols (especially heroic ones) in the vex place on neomuna gives a lot of medications too. A buddy and I did that while our other friend was afk for a bit and we ended up with around 400 mediations after. Couldn't have been more than like a half hour or so
Abit of a meme but strand mediations are account wide even if the unlocks aren't. This means you can repeatedly run throught the campaign for 200+300 strand mediation at the end. No idea if it's faster . But i would wager regular campaign (not legend) is pretty damn fast. So that might actually be a strat (deleting then redoing your 3 rd char)
Do the secret triumph repeater they each give 25 strand meditation, 100 Neomuna ranks exp. Those orange crystals in the air. I think with all of them it's about 1200 strand meditation and 4800 ranks exp with Neomuna.
Well it’s about as annoying as unlocking stasis was, but at least this is more straightforward, AND likely to be made easier as Bungie processes the feedback and makes QOL adjustments to Strand and surrounding systems. Personally I think we should have the grapple as a grenade AND Melee each, with 2 charges standard (3 on hunter with their aspect). Then maybe cut the grenade charge time by a good 50% minimum, and make it so if you use a grapple point ALL your non-super abilities are recharged immediately, or at least have hastened CDR. Speaking of, it would be a fun exotic that could launch remote detonated rounds in the air like deathbringer that create grapple points at precise locations in demand.
I think “strand bucks” as my friends call them also can drop in other location public events. I’m almost certain I got some in the cosmodrome the other day.
I don't even want to use strand because of my first impression on hunter. I was throwing around limp macaroni and the air dive aspect doesn't even work if you die in the campaign
I'm feeling that strand will be buffed soon, it's just so bad, it don't even come close to any of the other subclass. Bungie got too scary of making an stasis 2.0
Couldn't tell you why, but I have ALL Fragments unlocked to buy in my German Destiny Version. My Titan is rocking the second to last fragment on the upper row (something with isolation) right now.
This expansion went on sale for 25$ so I bought it, I completed the campaign and now basically all my fragments are locked! 💢 Apparently Bungie had fixed this a while ago but mine is bugged! Anyone got any suggestions?
PSA this stacks with weapon xp meaning if you run this with a crafted weapon you get ~90% xp per 4 chest THIS STACKSSSSSSSSS meaning running 3 crafte weapons gives you 90% on each which is almost a full level WHIHC IS CRAZY
You get them for just playing the game. You don’t even have to focus on farming. If you don’t like doing patrols or public events or killing things with strand then why bother even trying?
It’s really not that bad when compared to when stasis first released. That shit was painful. At least you can farm on one character to unlock everything
@@eliking4184 I didnt even get all the stasis things til MONTHS later. I just kinda glazed over that shit. This at least makes me try out different fragments
I have unlocked and completed Nimbus' Terminal Overload key bounty and other than that, not a SINGLE OVERLOAD KEY HAS DROPPED. My friends are swimming in keys and I'm left with nothing. What am I doing wrong?
Time gating is gay like boss immunity phases. It’s like “oh boy, here comes the mandatory ‘pad the encounter time’ phase, look at this aspiring employee of the month,” It really, really is just better to wait for like 3-5 weeks for them to unlock and rebalance everything and do other shit in the mean time.
This really isn't that hard to do. I got all the fragments and grenades, and I have almost 1k banked up by just doing the quests for Nimbus and helping some clan members do other quests.
I don’t care about strand enough to jump through these hoops again like stasis. I thought they specifically said they were letting us use strand with no strings attached
I love how people act like grinding for strand fragments is hard or even all that time consuming lmao. Welcome to destiny it’s a Grinding type of game. Hell even if you want the best pvp weapons most of the time you have to grind for them. I finished the campaign and then was just doing quests not even grinding and I already have almost all the available frags this week with no effort into trying to get them lmao
Havent reached the final Story Mission yet but Was under the impression that the game "forces" u to be on Strand subclass, no? Maybe the intended way is to play through Story on normal to unlock Strand, then Grind out on neomuna to get All aspects and fragments, create a propper strand build to have it available when u do the Story on legendary... so far I started out on legendary from the very beginning and was struggling everytime I was on strand subclass.. no propper healing, no overshield etc.. probably doing it all wrong while being underlvl too.. seems harter than legendary WQ campaign (void titan w/ hoil before the harsh nerf)
It's honestly not that grindy, I got enough meditations to buy all the available fragments and grenades the 2nd day. Better than stasis was just wish the frags weren't time gated
stasis was A LOT EASIER to get. it wasnt annoying either like people are saying because you could just run into a nightfall solo and do the objectives in 10 minutes TOPS.
You do get the special ability after you beat the campaign and get your character to a max power cap. And also you got to do a lot of side quests and missions like he's about to explain to the rest of us that already have done it before. If you guys ever need help, come to me and I can help you get past the first half of the missions of the new light fault expansion
So Bungie's logic: just 2 grenades per class- cost just 50 each But 14 fragments per character cost 200 each. And that's after they said they wanted to not made it as annoying as stasis? I guess it is somewhat of an improvement but not a big one
Apart from being able to pretend I'm playing Bulletstorm again, I'm not hugely impressed with strand. Not going to bother actively grinding untill something turns up that makes it worth it.
Iv got all mine. But lucky i only ever play my Hunter. Just a note, the Terminal Overload weapons arent in the pattern list, i dont think those 3 are craftable.
@@Mikeyzini on strand i was just messing around with exotics and used sixth coyote to get an extra dive. And mainly terminal overload but was doing the side exotic quests
@@Mikeyzini the mobs on neomuna are 1810, im at 1797 and they still hit like trucks. Its not easy but try loading into terminal overload where people are already there
after completing the campaign and getting soft cap on one character you can pay 2000 SILVER! per character to skip the campaign and unlock strand on the other classes
I aint farming those shitty strand meditations to get the same fragment i would unlock in a character for a nother character, ill just farm them for my main and thats gonna be later
It annoys me that the fragment which directly buffs threadling damage is locked until next week. I guess that's better than waiting for the raid to be completed.
i could get behind the absurd cost of unlocking the fragments if you unlocked them account wide, but on a character to character basis that is WAAAY To fkn much, especially if you are a solo player or a casual. 14 fragments at 200 per. thats 2800. minus the 700 you get for free. and thats 2100/75 =28... 28 overloads per character. everytime i get my hopes up that bungie will start adjusting the game to also include solo players, they spit in our face. again and again and again....
The game won't let me buy the strand fragments, and I'm not sure why. I have completed the campaign. I have the subclass and aspects. I have enough of the currency, but for some reason, I can't get the grenades or the fragments.
I thought the same thing. It turns out that you have to "buy" the grenade and fragment you used in the campaign. Long story short, go to the pouka pond and look for the fragment that's not grayed out. Buy it and the others will open. Same thing for the grenades.
Not gonna lie. Doing the Stasis quests weekly to get the fragments and aspect was REALLY annoying. This doesn't seem AS annoying. But still annoying. But I guess it is what it is.

It really, really is just better to wait for like 3-5 weeks for them to unlock and rebalance everything and do other shit in the mean time.
Please tell me we are gonna get a throne cleaver review.
So dumb 1 year later and I still do not have this unlocked 😂
This really isn't that hard to do. I got all the fragments and grenades, and I have almost 1k banked up by just doing the quests for Nimbus and helping some clan members do other quests.
Did they patch these bugs and stuff?
I don’t care about strand enough to jump through these hoops again like stasis. I thought they specifically said they were letting us use strand with no strings attached
I love how people act like grinding for strand fragments is hard or even all that time consuming lmao. Welcome to destiny it’s a Grinding type of game. Hell even if you want the best pvp weapons most of the time you have to grind for them. I finished the campaign and then was just doing quests not even grinding and I already have almost all the available frags this week with no effort into trying to get them lmao
Havent reached the final Story Mission yet but Was under the impression that the game "forces" u to be on Strand subclass, no?
Maybe the intended way is to play through Story on normal to unlock Strand, then Grind out on neomuna to get All aspects and fragments, create a propper strand build to have it available when u do the Story on legendary... so far I started out on legendary from the very beginning and was struggling everytime I was on strand subclass.. no propper healing, no overshield etc.. probably doing it all wrong while being underlvl too.. seems harter than legendary WQ campaign (void titan w/ hoil before the harsh nerf)
It's honestly not that grindy, I got enough meditations to buy all the available fragments and grenades the 2nd day. Better than stasis was just wish the frags weren't time gated
Does lost sectors on neomuna give you any?
they do its not much though no clue on legend though i wasnt able to complete
do it on 3 characters? theres other classes to play besides hunter?
uh no? don't you just have 3 hunters?
Wait, there's other classes?
stasis was A LOT EASIER to get. it wasnt annoying either like people are saying because you could just run into a nightfall solo and do the objectives in 10 minutes TOPS.
You do get the special ability after you beat the campaign and get your character to a max power cap. And also you got to do a lot of side quests and missions like he's about to explain to the rest of us that already have done it before. If you guys ever need help, come to me and I can help you get past the first half of the missions of the new light fault expansion
I got tbe rare vex event to spawn. But the game crashed right before the boss died. Glad to know i missed out on a exotic.
So Bungie's logic: just 2 grenades per class- cost just 50 each
But 14 fragments per character cost 200 each. And that's after they said they wanted to not made it as annoying as stasis? I guess it is somewhat of an improvement but not a big one
Apart from being able to pretend I'm playing Bulletstorm again, I'm not hugely impressed with strand.
Not going to bother actively grinding untill something turns up that makes it worth it.
This seems sooo fun, I can't wait.
Iv got all mine. But lucky i only ever play my Hunter. Just a note, the Terminal Overload weapons arent in the pattern list, i dont think those 3 are craftable.
what build did you use and what did you farm mostly
@@Mikeyzini on strand i was just messing around with exotics and used sixth coyote to get an extra dive. And mainly terminal overload but was doing the side exotic quests
@@fishnutz5196 thanks bro. im having a hard time fast grinding at 1775 - these mobs hit hard
@@Mikeyzini the mobs on neomuna are 1810, im at 1797 and they still hit like trucks. Its not easy but try loading into terminal overload where people are already there
@@fishnutz5196 Lmao no wonder...
Didn’t bungie say we wouldn’t have to unlock strand on multiple characters? I swear I remember seeing that idk maybe I’m misremembering
after completing the campaign and getting soft cap on one character you can pay 2000 SILVER! per character to skip the campaign and unlock strand on the other classes
Wait why I did I post this twice-
I aint farming those shitty strand meditations to get the same fragment i would unlock in a character for a nother character, ill just farm them for my main and thats gonna be later
It annoys me that the fragment which directly buffs threadling damage is locked until next week. I guess that's better than waiting for the raid to be completed.
Pump out those vids boys!!! Thanks for feeding us. Appreciate your comment and your wife's comment to solo parenting for a few days 😉
My game glitched on step 13 of the campaign. So i am stuck until they fix it
Having to go run over these is the biggest pita
Thanks cross
Completely unrelated but is it me or is the boss health bar change really ugly, I hope they switch it back to how it was
Literally never anyone doing terminal overload
Why does it have to be so freaking much. I don't have enough hours in the bloody day to sit and grind for hours on end.
i could get behind the absurd cost of unlocking the fragments if you unlocked them account wide, but on a character to character basis that is WAAAY To fkn much, especially if you are a solo player or a casual. 14 fragments at 200 per. thats 2800. minus the 700 you get for free. and thats 2100/75 =28... 28 overloads per character. everytime i get my hopes up that bungie will start adjusting the game to also include solo players, they spit in our face. again and again and again....
i get the price is high, but i had over 2000 mediations by the end of doing about 4 of the neptune quests
Regional chests are not visible with ghost mods.
The game won't let me buy the strand fragments, and I'm not sure why. I have completed the campaign. I have the subclass and aspects. I have enough of the currency, but for some reason, I can't get the grenades or the fragments.
I thought the same thing. It turns out that you have to "buy" the grenade and fragment you used in the campaign.
Long story short, go to the pouka pond and look for the fragment that's not grayed out. Buy it and the others will open. Same thing for the grenades.
@@greenwaveboi thanks I'll give that a try
I"m not getting any strand from completing terminal overloads.
If you unlocked all fragments you need to move to next character
Yay the strand grind! BUNGO! Y u do dis!?
Time gating personally makes me not play or wait till they are unlocked to where they can't
There is no way in hell i'm farming Neomuna till my eyes bleed just to unlock this shit
This is exhausting.
Not gonna lie. Doing the Stasis quests weekly to get the fragments and aspect was REALLY annoying. This doesn't seem AS annoying. But still annoying. But I guess it is what it is.
Bungie has blurred the lines of what being POWERFUL means
Honestly I’m just gonna unlock warlock strand subclass and its aspects and such. Too time consuming for a regular player like me 😢
Didn’t bungie say we wouldn’t have to unlock strand on multiple characters? I swear I remember seeing that
2,000 silver to unlock though
@@StephenTPD oooh
