Also just keep making tonics. Idk what is going on at Bungie but they are really bad with directions this season. Just make green tonics until you unlock blue. Then make blue tonics until you unlock purple. Then you start getting Exotics. You will get really short bounties to travel to a planet and find ingredient markers. Again you won’t get any good directions from the hud and these bounties won’t show up in your bounties tab or even the Tonic page from your inventory. 🤣 They will show as those circle search area markers from the Final Shape lost ghost missions on your world map. Then just use the tonics as you play Onslaught.

This whole tonic, do this do that repeat forever to get something that is so short lived and the only decent source of materials is onslaught, which I actually like but still!!! For me this is the WORST season in the history of Destiny. For me the good news is last season was so bad II simply gave up so I'm just not caring about not playing anymore! SOOOOOO, is it just me or does it feel like Bungo is intentionally trying to get everyone to quit so they can go fail on Marathon instead???

This is just ONE MORE BLUNDER from our good ole friends at blundering Bungie HQ. You put stuff in the game that are USELESS. GO BACK to Destiny 1 mindset and go from there and stop trying to make the game more complex and boring. I'm already bored and frustrated with this new crap. PLUS, I am getting booted back to orbit about every 30 minutes. (And no it is NOT MY internet. I've got top of the line equipment and internet service) My team and I just quit last night because we could not even finish ONE SINGLE mission/quest. God, Borderlands 4 hurry up and get here.

[quote]I read the notes but don’t remember seeing ability recharge rate being nerfed yet my grenade now takes an eternity.[/quote] I thought this was just an 'Onslaught: Salvation' thing, because I really noticed it there, but I think you may be right [quote]Is this another nerf to increase the relevance of tonics?[/quote] I was going to say 'probably not', but... [quote]I’m getting no new world weapon drops! Because I need a 20 minute tonic just to get world drops??[/quote] They DO drop without them but it definitely feels like the rate has been nerfed considerably [quote]A couple of my Artefact mods seem to be VERY weak. So I need tonics to achieve decent mod strength now?[/quote] Getting back to nerfing stuff to increase the relevance of tonics, the artefact mods definitely make it feel like this. [quote]This feels bad.[/quote] Rather than feeling like a boost, tonics feel more like a medicine for when your guardian is constantly sick and it just helps them get through the day without collapsing. I can't say I'm surprised though - everything I've seen about Bungie's 'way forward' just looks like a giant step backward. A 'power fantasy' game without the 'power fantasy' Genius work, Bungo..

I‘m not a fan either. For loot purposes it‘s ok i guess because that’s our way of focusing on specific loot, but 'enhancing' artifact perks is not it. Furthermore running around and collecting ingredients for potions is just like baking cookies for eva levante…and that has not been fun for ages.

I am not a fan of the temporary aspect of these tonics. Not to mention they are needed to make any of the artifact mods feel powerful. Also, when they wear off in the middle of an activity and you have to stop doing what you're doing just to pop another one from the inventory screen. That takes you time since you have to load your character screen, go to inv, then into that potion tab just to then find the one you want, consume it and hope you didn't get killed by that new stupid strike modifier that hurts you if you stand still for more than 3 seconds.

The last city feels to me like a long event of recipes. It’s going to be a long dry season for me.

Tonic unlock strategy is not intuitive. You buy green to unlock blue buy blue to unlock purple buy purple to unlock further purple. You must use submenus to buy to unlock. Then go through taste and drop sequencing afterwards. No help guide shows this or Bungie menu. To gather ingredients you kill scorn through whichever game mode you want. That said there are special ingredients you must unlock through Eido’s submenu with quests. The quests are only unlocked by tonic unlocks. Tonics themselves are time limited for drops or perks. Drop based work like onslaught focusing, perk based act like armor mods. TLDR playtime gated unlocked through hidden mechanic. Providing me mods that must be reapplied.

Tonics are terrible. Once again something implemented poorly, gather this stuff, oh yeah we are not going to tell you hwo to earn said stuff, go figure that out on your own Craft stuff - mostly useless and too short a duration, forcing players to play a certain way to make use of tonic test stuff waste of time, repeat animation is already getting old! imbue stuff, again animation and then it through stuff on the ground? What the heck is that all about. It has ZERO place in a looter shooter. This is NOT World of warcraft, where potions are very useful. This is a timesink and waste of developer time. Like weapon crafting it will take Bungie 2 years of changes to get it anywhere useful; then they will take it away! A HUGE WASTE OF DEV TIME!!!! Bungie, once agian showing how little they understand the player base, needs, wants or anything at all.

Yeah this is terrible. I ain’t doing this. COD bo6 in two weeks 👏🏻
