If you didn't have a reason to use Braytech... (Destiny)

...well, you're missing out, but now you're missing out even MORE.

One of the most annoying parts of the new currency is that Bungie hasn't figured out how to add them into the UI. Want to know how much Ruinous Element you have right now, in-game? Yeah, well, you're only option is to find a shaped gun, or a deep resonance gun (guns that can be extracted), and mouse over the perks. Oh, the gun you looked at has Mutable and Energetic? Keep looking - try another gun. Bleh.

DIM makes this considerably less painful, because it shows the values for EVERY gun, not just shaped/extractable ones. But it's still damned annoying - wait, did I start with Energetic or Adroit? Which one do I have 178 of, and which one do I have 250 of? DAMMIT

So I happened to open my Character page on Braytech... and *angel choir begins playing*

ALL CURRENCIES, AND YOUR LEVELS IN EACH, ARE SHOWN.

All hail Braytech!

I am happier than ever that I support this app, financially. It rocks.

[Edit - Just noticed that stuff like Qualichor isn't included - not sure that counts as a currency, or maybe it's just that it's a secret one. But still... the list is spectacular.]

What’s the deal with Qualichor? I have some, looks like it’s for a quest, but I have no idea what I did or where it came from.

You gotta find the dead scorn (there are 3, one is active every day), then follow the path and kill the big guy at the end.

Huh. I do not remember doing that. I’ve killed plenty of big dudes, I must have ran into him while I was doing deepsights or something.

Sorry - that's what you DO with the stuff. That's not how you get your first dose.

You probably fought (and killed) that trio of Hive super users that show up in patrol occasionally. The chest that spawns drops your first dose. (or at least that's how I got it)

Oh! That I do remember doing! I guess I wasn’t paying enough attention to notice the drops or the quest progression.

I’m sorry how do you get this on bray tech? I tried and could not find any screen that looked like this.

Must only be on the desktop version. I don’t see it on the app anywhere.

Exactly - I thought I'd added that as an edit. I might have done that somewhere else, though. Sorry.

I checked the app and it was exactly the same as the browser version. At least on my iPad.

Ahha! Figured it out. The feature only shows up if your screen/browser size is big enough. It is on the right side of the item icons. I found it when I opened in my MacBook screen and opened my browser full screen. My iPad isn’t big enough.

That's still pretty confusing since I thought Claude posted a screenshot from a phone. On the other hand, a large screen has its own legibility problems.

The UI has always been my biggest problem with Braytech. (This seems to have been fixed, or at least is actively being worked on as refreshing the site made it split this into a sidebar when the screen is wide (but hides it at certain widths))

This picture confuses me, because it's NOT what I see.

That's probably what you are seeing after refresh... but I've never had the problem you're mentioning. I just played with screen width on this browser window, and if I get too small, the currency window simply vanishes. i never get it to fill the whole screen.

Apologies - I only took a snippet from the screen to show the Currencies list. I didn't think it would make it look like I grabbed a phone screenshot.

I'm worried you don't have enough enhancement cores.

Bright dust is easy - I buy everything that's available.

Legendary shards... I guess it's because I upgrade everything in my vault to max light?

I've come to understand that Claude is not a casual at all, and is actually quite the hardcore Destiny player.

Fan. Not Fanatic.

By the way, as of this post, Wu is the currently the only person in our clan who has completely maxed out the season pass. He is, at the moment, rank 107.

I dunno... because completion? (And because that's what Bright Dust is FOR?)

I misspoke - I no longer buy EVERYTHING. I stopped buying new ghosts and new sparrows - 1, because I don't have enough bright dust, and 2, because I wouldn't ever see them. I only use the Always On Time sparrow, and I already have ghosts set up to do everything ghosts can do.

Because every once in a while, someone says "Hey, let's do X using only Y weapons!" or "wouldn't it be great if we were all using Z armor?" and I hate to be underleveled; I need every advantage I can get.

DIM does. (That is: If I'm going into control, and I tell DIM to equip my 'Pulse Titan PVP General' loadout, I get my Modularity (Crucible) ghost. If I'm going into Trials or Survival, and I put on my Trials variant, I get my Greater Core Harvest (Crucible) shell. I don't have to think about ghosts, just what activity I'm doing, and what gear I want to use.)

I never did bother setting up loadouts in DIM. Seems useful, and probably like it would have been worth just spending an hour some night doing it, but I never could be bothered to actually spend the time.

Now that it can switch around mods load outs seem like a very useful investment of time.

I've found the best thing for replayability for me is experimenting with and saving loadouts. When I find ones I like, I save it. Plus, once they are set up I am not having to suffer through the painfully slow menu on my old Xbox. Just tap it on my phone and go.

Same.
