i got 16 bounties too hand in tonight and 12 quests (level 34) i got exp boost redull bottled jizz as well, any ideas what that would get me gaf?

16 bounties with no xp boost got me to 38. So I would say 40. However don't do what I did and use it immediately. Go get your new sub class and use it then. Be a nice head start on levelling that up too.

omg kill the trash first....

Character levels don't matter only light level does.

Now that you mention it, I started the new mission at the beginning of level 32, and I'm half way to level 34 already...

What's the point of increasing the level cap and making a big deal about it if you can hit the cap in a couple hours???

I leveled from 26 to 34 in little over an hour by just playing story and Crucible. It's a big increase in XP speed. Also got to +200 light.

 

[Flunkie]

Excited about the story quests being better. I still have pretty close to a zero percent understanding of year one's story.

Time to go to work. Followed by 8 hours of boredom.

I enjoyed the story missions a lot. Even if we revisit places we've been before. The story and some new mechanics keep it fresh.

You did them all? How long did it take? An hour or so?

basic level is there just so you are forced to play the game a little before you can slap on good gear, I agree though you level to 40 way too easily, there's no tease of finding a level 40 drop and only being level 35 and wondering what it's like for a few days.

same- granted last I touched the game was September of 2014

Not all missions. Maybe 7? I'm not sure. I've been playing since TTK unlocked. So, 3 hours maybe.

good idea ta.

Nathan Fillion is great in this. <3

Cool thanks for the impressions. Do the cutscenes stay in quality and show up a bunch through the entire thing?

 

[Sesuadra]

bought a red bull code (yes I am weak >.<) on ebay and of course it is not working ;_;

The story missions take ~7 hours or so.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Is this worth 70 euro Gaf? Kinda tempted since I liked the original game and shit.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

The story missions take ~7 hours or so.

Tons of people that started at 3 this morning are done now. Looks like close to ~3 hours?

 

[Klyka]

Nah, most people have beaten them in about 3 or so.
If you just rush and play through them that is. if you explore and such and take your time to scan things,it takes a bit longer.

 

[gossi]

Cut scenes are skippable and you can opt not to scan for story elements and such. I'm guessing people are skipping everything to get it done in 3 hours.

 

[bachikarn]

Is it true you can do the weekly heroic and nightfall three times a week with just one character?

 

[names2hard4you]

Heh got a Hard Light from the deceptive engram

 

[Anoregon]

So can someone catch me up on this veterans tour business? Aside form the shader/sparrow/emblem, everyone also gets a random free exotic weapon?

 

[Klyka]

Is it true you can do the weekly heroic and nightfall three times a week with just one character?

Heroic yes, Nightfall once per character.

 

[Seil]

It's unfortunate that we have all of these ghost shells now, but just like class items, there's zero reason to even consider 99% of them because of stats...

 

[JetBlackPanda]

If this is true I bet they lowered drop rates to compensate for the legendary engrams at the cryptarch and exotics being tied to quests now

It's unfortunate that we have all of these ghost shells now, but just like class items, there's zero reason to even consider 99% of them because of stats...

Can't you infuse them?

 

[Vitanimus]

the stormcaller quest is so good, felt so POWERFUL &#128546;&#128546;&#128546;&#128546;

 

[DNAbro]

Jesus after finishing the main story missions so much opens up.

 

[The End]

Heh got a Hard Light from the deceptive engram

Yep, I got Red Death.

Best joke in the series so far.

 

[hank_tree]

Heroic yes, Nightfall once per character.

I'm pretty sure they are changing it so you can do it 3 times with any character. They are trying to reduce the need for multiple characters.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Installing the base game, 96%! Almost done!
Any beginner tip? =)

 

[gossi]

Yep. I got Thorn (I've never had it).

what exactly is the end game now?

 

[Seil]

Can't you infuse them?

The only two I have that can be Infused are Legendary. The VIP one and the CE one. Which means there are two skins I have that can be used with higher stats. That doesn't do any good for all of these I'm finding in the field =p

"Oh hey, I kind of like that color, too bad it's 145 Defense, +11 Strength and no perks and nothing can be done about that,"

Edit: You can't even keep the default shell if you don't wanna be running around with a 3 defense, no perk piece of gear....

 

[Disheveled_Zen]

Eurghhhhh...I have to be at work all day then pick up my fiance who I haven't seen in a week from the airport. Oh universe why do you conspire against me. Should of taken PTO today.

Can't wait to hop in and give this a try, been avoiding all live streams and early videos so far so I can experience it first hand.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

anyone know how/when those weekly crucible bounties from shaxx open up?

 

[serenewarfare]

Those Taken Psions can be a real bitch if you don't kill them quick.

 

[papo]

Woke up a bit early to try and experience some of it before work...PS4 spends 30 minutes 'preparing to download'...FFS

I know the X1 gets slammed for slow install, but PS4 is right there too with the slow downloads.


At least I got to run around the tower and got the Veteran's Tour done. 5pm can't come soon enough.

 

[Bradach]

I would recommend subscribing to the OT in the community and joining raids with DGAF when you've gotten through the story and levelled up a bit.

Playing this game with friends / DGAF is the best way to play.

 

[wesleyshark]

6hrs of work to go... Then gotta run to Gamestop to pick up the CE. Ghahhhhhh

what console? if you're on psn, join me

 

[Anoregon]

Yep. I got Thorn (I've never had it).

Ok, so that answers my 2nd question - Thorn doesn't have a year 2 version, so they aren't year 2 versions.

 

[Liamc723]

I've watched every cutscene and I've finished the main story.

 

[Stilton Disco]

With these free exotics we're getting, is it one per user account or one per character?

 

[Diprosalic]

account.

 

[Seil]

Nope. But, if you get a year 1 version of something that has a year 2 version, you do unlock the ability to claim the year 2 blueprint.

 

[Mik2121]

Aaaand... the goddamn DLC still not available in Japan even though the purchase link is up and everything.

It's like it won't pass a month without something reminding me of how truly awful the Japanese PSN really is :/

 

[montycliff13]

IT'S ALL GREEN FOR ME, LADS. YEAR TWO SON. Wow, I'm into Destiny again. That's pretty rad.

 

[Diprosalic]

So can someone catch me up on this veterans tour business? Aside form the shader/sparrow/emblem, everyone also gets a random free exotic weapon?

i'm pretty sure they give you one you didn't have already.

 

[montycliff13]

Is that... humor I detect??? In the... story??

 

[bachikarn]

Heroic yes, Nightfall once per character.

Hmm okay. Still debating if I want my second character to be a second hunter or Titan. If the amount of times you could do the nightfall/raids were account based, there would be no reason to make a second hunter.
