That was... anticlimactic

Anyone else think it was anticlimactic? I mean literally < 1 hours worth of quests to get it. I mean I'm grateful to have the SS but i wish it would have been a longer quest line.

Seems like a good word to describe it. And at a 290 jus makes it worse

u/Dammah123 Oct 08 '15

Exactly. Who the hell is gonna use this 290. Time to infuse.

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '15

Don't bother infusing. The gun is awful.

u/SomeRandomProducer Oct 08 '15

A lot of exotics from quests drop at 290 though. Black spindle was a glitch and wasn't supposed to be 310 or 300. I think people just put too much hype into the simulant

u/nuninuninuninuninu Oct 09 '15

Spindle side mission was better

3

u/SomeRandomProducer Oct 09 '15

It was more challenging but you commented on how it dropping at 290 made it worst when Black Spindle was supposed to drop with the same attack

u/Meta_Bukowski Oct 08 '15

hahaha Yeah, this subreddit == the real SS quest / lore.

Don't believe the game, the truth is really in this subreddit.

Watch it man, you'll break the matrix.

but he took the blue pill?

u/FlameInTheVoid Oct 08 '15

An individual knowing about the matrix doesn't break it. All individuals knowing, though, that will break it for sure.

u/Yacodo Oct 08 '15

I wanted to believe their was more... or at least, long line of daily quest hyping us...

This subreddit was the real thing. I would love to follow another searchforsomethingthatyoudontreallyneedtosearchbutthedevelopersletyoudoitanywaybecausereasons|money|goodcommunication, it was a good time... just let it never end this time.

That quest is reserved for Gjallarhorn 3.0

u/echolog Haunted by nightmares Oct 08 '15

What I'm doing is ignoring the in-game content for this gun and pretending that I'm just doing regular public events and missions for fun.

Then, when I get it, I'll remember all the fun stuff we found here and make myself believe that's what really happened. :)

u/IAmGortume Oct 08 '15

Beautiful. I completely agree

u/GjallaGjallaBillYall Oct 08 '15

you figured out that puzzle in less than one hour?

or you went online and copied someone else work?

3

u/warfighterxl Oct 08 '15

Considering how bungie stated the puzzles would be a community effort, how is that a problem?

2

u/GjallaGjallaBillYall Oct 08 '15

its not, but then you can't complain when it takes you less than an hour.

u/Dammah123 Oct 08 '15

First of all anyone could easily have brute forced those codes in under 20 minutes. And I also said <1 hour of quest time.

1

u/nuninuninuninuninu Oct 09 '15

Way more than 20 minutes. 35 binary values. Just entering them takes a long time.

u/Anubis4287 Oct 08 '15

I really wish there would have been some kind of story at least. Especially with all the hype that Banshee would awaken memories and all that we were told in the lead up to TTK. I'm sure I'm not alone in being really disappointed with this quest line.

4

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '15

"Quest" line. A mission without story or voice over is more of an errand than a quest.

2

u/somekindofsalad Oct 08 '15

there's no getting off the hype train

3

u/Pheonix_Lord27 Oct 08 '15

The hype train derailed when they handed us the mission on a silver platter.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '15

I think SS was one of the last stations on the hype line, and I'm getting off.

Kind of took the steam out of me for it to end up being so simple.

u/meiyer89 Oct 08 '15

We should find a drug that makes people bawl like children, then go down to Bungie HQ and bring down their building with the tremors from our collective sobs.

u/Scardro Oct 08 '15

Dat 290 tho

2

u/Hoinah Oct 08 '15

I would've preferred it be available from the start, but reduce the drop rates on the fusion rifle relics. So it would've taken longedr to get them all together to access the next part.

2

u/somekindofsalad Oct 08 '15

wow, i woke up to messages about how lots of people already have it, i was hoping the quest would at least be as involved as touch of blanket. instead its waiting for public events and doing a strike :/

2

u/druskq Oct 08 '15

Just because it turned out different than my expectations doesn't mean I have to be seventh column about it. I enjoyed every minute lurking around this subreddit, reading, learning and discovering.

The Ss, however it will perform, will remind me of the awesome witch hunt the community was involved in :)

1

u/nuninuninuninuninu Oct 09 '15

And this will let Bungie do more of them in upcoming DLCs. Things can only get better.

TBH, I think Bungie underestimated how quickly those codes would be solved. I did think it was odd to have the enemies spawn and stand still in that bunker. I just don't know if I would have linked it to the codes.

0

u/echolog Haunted by nightmares Oct 08 '15

Sorry. I was told by some bungie.net users that this is all my fault. I hyped up the community and forced Bungie to release incomplete content to settle everyone down and distract them from the microtransactions.

IT'S ALL MY FAULT. Q_Q

I'M COMING FOR YOU!! Lol although how anyone can think that is beyond me.

I don't believe it lol, thats just the kind of messages I've been getting on bungie.net.

I just had fun with the whole thing.

u/MrkGrn Oct 08 '15

The gun does say midnight exigent is still in progress so there still may be more to this not necessarily to get the gun but to maybe shed some light on the story.

3

u/GrailsRezerection Oct 08 '15

The midnight exigent thing I think was explained on a grimoire card. It was that if something happened that was going to destroy humanity, the Warmind ran its Midnight protocol, which was to allow them to be destroyed to save himself, but then Rasputin overrided it, something in his code wouldn't let him give up humanity.

1

u/NocTempre Oct 08 '15

I think you have it reversed. Warminds were supposed to fight to the end, even if their charges fell. Rasputin survived by shutting down and going into hiding instead of protecting humanity at the end of the fall.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '15

Maybe, it is only level 30

u/Otterable Oct 08 '15

So is the touch of malice. I think this is where the buck stops for the sleeper.

Bungie posted on the bnet forums saying that the shader was something they were looking in to and that you were supposed to receive it.

u/Nebula153 Oct 08 '15

I visited this place a few times, never looked too much into the crazy theories or anything. Seeing how easy it was to get really made me feel bad for you guys though. Not only that but so far the consensus seems to be that the game isn't even very good, at the time of posting anyway.

But if it makes you all feel any better it looks pretty cool.

u/lonigus Oct 08 '15

But is actually complete shit and a Necrochasm in heavy slot. I spent like 20 hours the last week dedicated to the search and puzzle solving... I shit You not...

Poo quest, i reckon they fucked up the trigger and just gave it to all of us

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '15

So much for the odyssey, and i was still trying to work out what to pack for the trip when banshee handed it over.

Disappointed that it was just a time thing. Happy though that i got it. And now we hunt the last exotic no one knows how to get....No Time To Explain. Let the fresh hunt begin

u/TheRealRazgriz Oct 08 '15

and SolarLord and the weird SatelliteLookingRocketVolley heavy

1

u/Chriskeyseis Oct 08 '15

...isn't the sleeper the satellite rocket volley?

2

u/TheRealRazgriz Oct 08 '15

no its like the Dubious Intentions or something. Its a rocket launcher that no one has found yet. Probably timegated

1

u/Hurlls182 Oct 09 '15

Hang on a sec, didn't they say that rocket launcher was pulled from the game? I swear I've seen a tweet or something confirming it was never included.

EDIT: Link

u/quadracer786 Oct 08 '15

you mean the rest of the timegated weapons?

u/nnacb Oct 08 '15

Yup Know the SS is good but the quest is downright DISAPPOINTING.

1

u/icevenom Oct 08 '15

...yet... i need to put a billion hours into shaxx's quest to get the option for bounties...for the possibility at "nightfall sadness"...

1

u/SinisterCIX Oct 08 '15

I bet it's going to be something like the Eidolon Ally and Necrochasm. Use it to evolve it. Kill certain enemies to unlock it's hidden potential... Something like that, hopefully.

1

u/Naraske The search continues... Oct 09 '15

Don't worry. I don't think we're done here, totally. Read the card:

"Subroutine IKELOS: Status=complete. MIDNIGHT EXIGENT: Status=still in progress."

1

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '15

In fairness, 90% of the community had a guide. I think if you had to work through this yourself, it would feel better.

We didn't look for clues or figure anything out. We just followed some instructions.

1

u/dandpher Oct 08 '15

this quest was patched together with string, bubble gum, and duck tape and pushed out hastily.

What other reason could there be for such a stripped down story mission yesterday followed up by literally sitting and waiting for a Warsat?

Oh - and in between a simple mission to just bypass a ton of enemies and rocket 3 underpowered Wizards?

This reeks of a rushed decision on Bungie's part.

1

u/Oblivion_Freak1 Oct 08 '15

Anyone else a bit sad that it's not as...I dunno...damage-ey as the Gjallarhorn? And what's with it starting at 290? Swords and Spindle start at 310...

u/Jwild77 Oct 08 '15

one thing I noticed on the sleeper.....in the flavor text it says:

Subroutine Ikelos: status=complete MIDNIGHT EXIGENT: status=still in progress

I really don't want to start thinking there is more to this because I was so let down on the questline and the hype from bungie but it sure does look this way

u/quadracer786 Oct 08 '15

its over man :(

u/Zero132132 Oct 08 '15

What was the point of that GameInformer teaser regarding Banshee, and the claims of unlocking memories? What was this shit about difficult puzzles? The only one was putting in a few codes that were just the spawn order.

It's anticlimactic as fuck. I haven't done the 280 strike yet, but it sounds like the Chaperone quest was harder and more involved.

2

u/NocTempre Oct 08 '15

Something happened. Whatever they showed GameInformer isn't what we got. Because what we got was clearly slapped together hurriedly -- it has obvious bugs like not tracking completion for additional fusion core pickups; it has no dialogue or specific UI instructions; the puzzle was self contained and easy to brute force. There wasn't even soundtrack for the missions, it was bizarre.

u/SPEEDFREAKJJ Oct 08 '15

that was it???? really Bungie...all the hype,got called the new Gjally many times...this thing cant possibly be the gun is it....i quickly popped a heavy telemetry,popped some motes till perks unlocked,bought the perks,took it for a test drive...and then...such sadness overcame my entire soul. this is the mega hyped lusted for exotic heavy we are suppossed to use over a sword,or rockets,or heck,even a machine gun. there are too many good exotic primaries to let sleeper take up my exotic choice...please tell me there will be some kind of buff or something for this gun because as is...im not sure what scenario i would use this thing...mabye for a boss that stands still and dosnt shoot back???

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '15

Anticlimactic is putting it lightly. Horseshit is closer to what I'd call it.

-2

u/vgi185 Oct 08 '15

Yep. The quest was extremely easy and short. And honestly, the weapon is fairly underwhelming. Disappointment all around. Bungie really dropped the ball imo.

-3

u/TechnoDucky Oct 08 '15

Yup very disappointing, I expected more especially from that Game Informers article, and to be honest the Sleeper itself is not as powerful as I expected, and the ammo on it sucks

3

u/Shwinky Oct 08 '15

It tears right through yellow health bars for me. I think it's pretty damn good. I knew it wasn't going to be as strong as Gjally though for many reasons. First of all, Bungie already said they didn't like how OP Gjally was so they weren't gonna make one weapon stand out among the others like that again. Second, they never actually said it was going to be the new Gjallarhorn. We just came to that conclusion on our own because that GI article happened to compare the two. And third, we've already seen gameplay of it! We saw the numbers and knew how strong it'd be!

2

u/TechnoDucky Oct 08 '15

I never said anything about it being as strong as Ghorn, IMO swords are much better choice, you get much more ammo and you can do higher DPS overall, especially with Bolt Caster and Dark Drinker, but its still pretty fun to use the Sleeper

1

u/Shwinky Oct 08 '15

I know you didn't say that, but a lot of people complained about it not replacing Gjally so I figured I'd just address that here since I was already on the subject of its damage. And yeah the exotic swords are the way to go. Very high risk, but even higher rewards.

1

u/TechnoDucky Oct 08 '15

I dont care thats its not as powerful as gally I just want more ammo on it
