The Last Word w/ Ebontis, Lord Cognito & TieGuyTravis

This week Lord Cognito and I jump straight into talking about the new Crucible mode, Momentum Control, where weapons hit hard and fast. Good place to work on catalysts or quests for certain weapons for sure. Then we discuss the Festival of the Lost this year, the weapon of this event and just the feeling of it all. Next a deep dive into the new moon Dungeon called Pit of Heresy and its workings and finally the TWAB discussed some changes coming to how Pinnacle Changes work and ideas we have for that pinnacle grind.  Enjoy the show.

This was a fun week with my co-host LordCognito. We have our first Iron Banner that went fairly well but of course there was an issue or two.  We have thoughts about needed nerfs and upcoming changes.  We run through some of our favorite recent loadouts to use in PvE and PvP, Armor 2.0 has some ups and downs and its only the start of the Armor evolution but we have some changes coming and things we would like to see as well. Fun week I hope you all enjoy. You can find us here.

We had some technical difficulties at the beginning so there was bit of editing in the middle.  Shouldn't be missing too much really but working on ways to make sure that doesn't happen in the future.   This week we have a great guest Skarrow9 from YT.  Here is a link to his channel, great guy so please check out his content. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRkugl5iTKYNCHFsRZ_Xaow SPOILER WARNING: This week we discuss the Garden of Salvation Raid.  We also get into ranking many of the old raids vs GoS, and we have some opinions.  We also saw the Launch of the Vex Offensive as well so we are getting our Seasonal Activity on.  Armor 2.0 has some ups and downs and things to learn in future seasons and improvements to Armor and the mods.  Iron Banner launches next week as well with a few changes.  Enjoy the episode.

This week Lord Cognito and I break down the launch of Shadowkeep.  3-4 hours of downtime with all they had to convert, change and migrate wasn't too bad.  The content we received was a lot and we broke it down by a like and a dislike of the status of Destiny 2 as we start out Year 3. Everything from the lack of public events on the moon, to the repeatable bounties, campaign length, weapons, finishers and more.  The moon is haunted and the campaign has some juicy spoilers which were discussed in the end.  Around 1:40 watch out but we give you plenty of warning for that.  Armor 2.0 has some intricacies but has potential to be great, although some tweaks may be needed.   Bungie Blog for the 26th, where some of this discussion comes from -- https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/48273 You can find us here.

This week we discussed the pending launch of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep, New Light, and PC moving to steam.  It's a lot that will happen on launch day.  We also got news about some changes to the UI numbers, Power Level Caps, Bright Dust & Eververse changes, Glimmer, Spider & Xur.  Pinnacle weapons were too OP so they are changing over to ritual weapons, easier to get and not such broken perks.  Also current perks are being toned down as well for some being OP as well.  We covered the dates ahead and raid rewards for those who put in that work early on.  Lots of details about the PC migration and getting on Steam for the first time.  Not sure what happened with this delay, but we should be good again.

This week we got a great video from Bungie about the future of Destiny 2, Shadowkeep and the years beyond.  How the story arcs hopefully will connect, difficulty is going to be real next season and some other interesting things were peeked at.  Season Ranks / Battle Pass has sparked some thoughts even between us about what all of the ranks hold.  Garden of Salvation Raid Light Level for Contest and finisher emblems were shown.  A little more was talked about regarding PC and Steam as well.  Check it all out here -- https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/48163 You can find us here.

This week we reflect on the 5 Year anniversary of Destiny's launch with great moments and how far we have come in the franchise.  We got a big reveal of many changes coming to the sandbox as well, lots of buffs and a few expected nerfs to weapons.  Some older exotics might get to shine once again as well with things like Sweet Business and Graviton Lance getting buffs in PvE.  Finally we talk about the Season 8 Roadmap revealing a few more things we didn't know about yet.   Ebontis Twitter:  https://twitter.com/Ebontis Twitch:  https://www.twitch.tv/ebontis Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9xJ-_kYMxVGHuL5hG3iJyg LordCognito Twitter:  https://twitter.com/LordCognito Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYiUhEbYWiuwRuWXzKZMBxQ You can support The Last Word Podcast right here -->>  https://anchor.fm/ebontis/support --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ebontis/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ebontis/support

This week @LordCognito and myself discuss some of the leaks that came from the Destiny 2 presence at PAX West this past weekend.  A few exotics were viewed so we have some better ideas.  The Mars community event is running well so far, mostly just Nightfalls remain for the community to knock out.  Finally we get to the TWAB and so many future changes coming with Shadowkeep.  Crucible changes to game mods available, playlists, Comp changes with a Solo only option.  Some maps are being removed and Heavy Ammo spawns are changing.  Then we got into the changes to subclasses, abilities and supers, reload mechanics and more.  Lots to discuss, we hope you enjoy.   Ebontis Twitter:  https://twitter.com/Ebontis Twitch:  https://www.twitch.tv/ebontis Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9xJ-_kYMxVGHuL5hG3iJyg LordCognito Twitter:  https://twitter.com/LordCognito Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYiUhEbYWiuwRuWXzKZMBxQ You can support The Last Word Podcast right here -->>  https://anchor.fm/ebontis/support --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ebontis/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ebontis/support

This week Lord Cognito and I discuss the Mars community event briefly but we also have a lot of new info about Season, the evolving Destiny world, more about the Artifact, a Destiny 2 seasonal Battlepass model and more New Light details as well.   Ebontis Twitter:  https://twitter.com/Ebontis Twitch:  https://www.twitch.tv/ebontis Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9xJ-_kYMxVGHuL5hG3iJyg LordCognito Twitter:  https://twitter.com/LordCognito Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYiUhEbYWiuwRuWXzKZMBxQ You can support The Last Word Podcast right here -->>  https://anchor.fm/ebontis/support --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ebontis/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ebontis/support

This week we discuss changes coming to Crucible.  Playlist changes, Crucible labs will have 3v3 elimination, Solo Glory playlist, 6v6 changes, Heavy Ammo gets tweaks and more.  Destiny 2 will become an evolving world with some content that only stays around for a season and hopefully it builds a narrative that continues.  Artifacts will be game changes with bonus power and top tier mod options.  Enjoy, it was a fun one.
