Loading times are bad, but it's nice that you can pause and dick around in your character screen during them.

I have 150 marks. I'm at 291 light level.
What should I buy? All of the legendary stuff would lower my level. I already have the vanguard ghost she'll.
That leaves only an exotic weapon. I'm already rocking the Jade Rabbit. Also have three Telestros. Any other exotic that I can buy from my exotic collection?

So I'm currently at light level 295, what level are people trying the raid at?
You can always just raise the level of any legendary you get if you enjoy using it and it has great perks.

Nice I got the blighted worlds or whatever quest AFTER I completed the sub quests. Don't tell me I have to do that shit again. I did that Venus mission like 4 times because of disconnects

I continue to really really wish you could view Grimores from in game. There are a bunch you get from dead ghosts that have amazing story stuff on them and even relate very closely to the thing you are doing at the time you get them/to the quests you can be on when you get them. So much that is missed by not reading them in the moment.
For instance. If you have done the quest in Taken King where you go though the Cr
alone for something, read the first Grimore card for "The Hellmouth". It is one you can collect while you are there and was newly added.
Another good one is for if you have done the after the main story quest where you go into the V
alone looking for someone, read the "Mystery: Praedyth's Door" Grimore. Don't think anyone has actually found the dead ghost that goes with that, or the other few that seem like they are in that area though, but it's still good.

Old system did that to me all the time. Not noticing any difference.

The heroic playlist is the most terrible experience in Destiny ever. Wasted 40 minutes without finishing a single Strike. Leaving, AFK, all kinds of 1.0 shit. They think Heroics can be one manned or something?

I was also disappointed, then I looked into the strats for the boss in the last one. Stuff that needs to really have communication for. Still wish I could go back and do these things as I want to get the reps I missed up, but oh well for now.

How do you access Mayhem Clash? Was that only for the preview or is it a standard playlist?

Anyone know a good place to do the Cabal majors/ultras bounty? I thought I could knock it out in the Mausoleum but for some reason the kills aren't counting towards the bounty.
Nice to know it has some raid-like elements but what about the first two that prove cores? I just want to buy the items from the Fallen vendor. How annoying.
Exclusion Zone Heroic?
Dust Palace strike maybe? That or Cerberus Vae III

I'm sorry. I had multiple matches last night where I didn't kill anyone. I am so bad that I don't understand how someone can be good.
It used to be the first mission on Mars in heroic mode when they all fall out of the ship. You get 9 there, then suicide and run it again for the tenth. About 10 min.

I guess rest mode for Destiny is pretty much useless ?

I miss Dinklebot
I am mixed on his.
Dinklebot had a great voice, but a terrible delivery.

it's not just loading though it's also doing the server connections and stuff, the game hides it all in the ship screens.

Played the first few missions of The Dark Below and I was baffled that they didn't got Dinklebot to records new lines.

The Heroics I've done have been pretty good so far, aside from one on Fallen Saber where none of us knew how to do the boss fight so we wiped several times. None of us quit though and it was a really awesome feeling when we finally got it.
But yeah I read that drop-in players are less common in Heroics so if someone leaves midway through the strike... yeah, I can understand your frustration.

Legitimate question:
What is mote of light used for since Xur no longer accepts them for exotics???
I got over 150 of them, just sitting there, collecting dust.

Use them for weapon and armor xp.
When you discard them you get XP. Easy and fast way to level up newly acquired gear.

What do you mean by that exactly, haven't played since Vanilla Destiny.

What you mean??? Motes of light are consumable now??? Or are you turning them in to someone???

Is a relative newcomer to Destiny able to compete in the Crucible? It says level advantages are disabled or something but am I still getting beat down with superior weapons and armor, etc?
You can consume them to grant XP to your guns. It takes 14-20ish to fully level an Exotic Weapon.
Leveling up items equipped. I maxed out my year 2 suros in about 10 seconds. Use them like a consumable.
Yes, I've seen people with gray/green level weapons come out on top. That said, a completely new character won't have their subclasses/supers unlocked so they are at a disadvantage there. And higher level weapons/exotics/armor have certain perks that can help by extending super time or keeping radar up while aiming, etc. The damage/armor is completely even but the perks still matter. But that stuff only goes so far. Basic multiplayer things still apply, so a good low level player with crap gear who knows the maps can still kick ass.

Posted in the community thread, but figured I'd post here as well. Looking for people to play with in general, up for pretty much anything. Started a new character two days ago after having not played since last year. I'm on PS4, PSN is AstroTesla and I have a mic. Will be on after 11PM EDT Sunday through Thursday and any time on all other days. Level 34 warlock, if that matters. Also willing to start new characters.

So I beat Oryx, is that it? I never got the sense he was any kind of threat.
I kept waiting for the second act. Like maybe I'm Taken. Or he shows up to the moon and an huge battle breaks out.
It was just missions to scout his ship and then fight him.
Am I missing something?

What exploit are we talking about here? Been gone for a few days and people are banking...
Three of Coins that Xur was selling. People have been farming for exotics with it by suiciding when they kill the boss and repeating, then getting the drops at the end

I'm pretty sure the last fight with him is the raid.
Otherwise, there are a few quests that open up after you beat him. I don't think any has anything to do with him though.
Same. I need it in me.
You're at a disadvantage, but not a stastical one. Do you have, for example, your full subclass perks unlocked?
I've been doing this "exploit" since Xur popped up.
- Purchase "Three of Coins" from Xur
- Run the Story mission "Scorge of Winter" where you are tasked with killing Draksis at the end.
- Consume a "Three of Coins" prior to fighting Draksis.
- When Draksis has a sliver of health left, hit him with a rocket at point blank range, killing you both.
- Draksis will potentially drop an Exotic Engram, and you will respawn at the start of the encounter.
- Rinse/Repeat.
I'm averaging 2 exotics per 10 Three of Coins. Basically paying 14 Strange Coins for 2 Exotic Engrams.
Keep going. You should have some quest indicators to try out strikes - as you do those, more single-player missions open up, and you'll also get quite a few more bounties and quests to explore the Dreadnaught and go back to areas of the other planets for weapon quests and others. It all builds to the raid, which in itself has some quests as I understand (haven't hit that part yet myself).
But yeah, the Regicide mission is really just the end of an Act 1 thing: consider that a late title card.
That's only act 1. There's so many quests that open up after that. There's the whole Taken War now, more quests across all the planets, quests from Petra for the Queen's faction, quests to do strikes and the strikes actually fit into context, the raid, etc. I'm still unlocking new quests and entirely new missions across all planets fighting shades of Oryx and stuff (just got one on Phobos) and I've been playing for hours and hours every day. The amount of content is crazy compared to vanilla and year one DLC.
