Not much to do right now, so I decided to track down some issues with Triumph Hunting. These findings will be of interest to those who triumph hunt, and I also hope Bungie takes notice to fix some problems with the system. Note that as of pre-Shadowkeep launch, there are 1077 triumphs in the game that are worth a total of 93,800 points.
Issue #1) Bungie, some New Light players are going to purchase the game and get into Triumph Hunting, but they will be 250 points short due to "Now You're Just Showing Off" being taken out of the game. It's worth 250 points. Please remedy this somehow. I personally got the 2500 Iron Burden kills, I got the 250 points, but I wouldn't mind you giving the 250 points to all players or preferably giving them some path to obtain it. For those going for Maximum Triumph Score it's unfair that there are 250 unobtainable points, and it would really suck to do 100k worth of Triumphs in Shadowkeep only to figure out at the end the one you're missing is unobtainable.
Issue #2) "Amidst the Wreckage" and "Bank This!" are glitched and still unobtainable.
Issue #3) Forever 93,750. The maximum triumph score is currently 93,800. If you add up all triumphs in the game you get 93,800. The spreadsheet linked below are all my personal triumphs that I've obtained and the total point value equals 93,800. However, in the API and in-game, it shows my triumph score at 93,750. It's not just me, many of us triumph hunters have been trying to figure out why some people got an extra 50 points. Turns out they didn't. Those of us stuck at "Forever 93,750" have actually earned 93,800 points worth of triumphs if you add them all up, proof is in that linked spreadsheet below. You can cross-check it with the API or with the compare-triumphs tool on clan.report. I know it doesn't affect very many people, but it does affect the hardest of the hardcore playerbase, and it's extremely frustrating to go for maximum score, put all that time in, and have the game short-change you. A lot of us hardcore triumph hunters would really appreciate this being addressed.
EDIT: Thanks to /u/xXBigRedXx for providing this: A D2checklist Dev (dweezil22) is awesome and implemented a tool to check for the bug with one button. Their pic: https://imgur.com/a/7xGdz5u. If you have the glitch for Forever 93,750, it'll show your summed score as 93,800, but your reported score as 93,750.

EDIT 2: /u/vincdel123 pointed out that New Light players will also be missing another 100 points from "Atlas Unbound" which is also no longer obtainable.
EDIT 3: Okay, I feel dumb for making my own spreadsheet, didn't realize d2checklist has the ability to download a CSV of all that automatically showing which ones you have and have completed... very nice... anyway, i defer to them, I must have made a mistake and updated the issue about the glitched triumphs accordingly. Just download their spreadsheet, it's definitely accurate.
