I'm UP!.. Again!

Who wants to farm with me in EDZ starting area?

Let's get those Tokens and Loot!

2 spots open

Show you how I loop even without having a benefit of a certain item that shows the Chest a little better...

 

[ScientificPizza]

how do exotics work? is there no way to upgrade outside of mods? and how do you even get mods?

 

[Foxxsoxx]

In the base PS4 there is a lot of aliasing, even in the ingame UI... Is it the same for PS4 Pro?

Very clean apart from very few things limited to very certain areas.



On another note...

Some of these exotic armor pieces are so... bad.

Yay... I can pull out my hand cannon a split second quicker.

 

[Carn82]

this is pretty funny without context. But I enjoy lowbrow humor

 

[Omni]

Is there uhhh... no end game currency? Been a while since I played Destiny 1, but didn't we used to have Vanguard marks or something that we capped each week?

 

[Foxxsoxx]

It's bad... there was an exotic in D1 that did this for every weapon in the game plus gave increased reload to everything.

This is just for hand cannons... and without the reload. At least it looks cool.

 

[madquills]

Have realised something an need to vent.

Wth is the Titan barricade exactly the same between sub-classes? Absolute lack of imagination. Exactly the same jumps too. Couldn't they at least have thought up a different buff (i.e. more damage as opposed to faster reload) for the striker shield? Does my nut thinking how little different between subclasses there are now.

 

[Auto_aim1]

OMG the Sunshot handcannon is so good.

 

[ch4fx_]

What's the LL cap without raiding/trials/etc.. ?

 

[xuchu]

Yes, i got my code last night about 8pm, after trying all day. Also got the same code as an email abouy the same time.

Input the code on bungie.net and it stated it worked, but not 20 yet so xant tell.

Also the account info u your area code followed by your account number, no spaces otherwise it wont work.

Ah, that must be it.Thanks.

 

[Babyshams]

wondering about that as well !
I almost exclusively leveled my 2nd and 3rd character by just doing the PVE dailies and a few patrols each day.

Challenges open up after you do more story missions. 3 different challenges per planet with objectives similar to Destiny 1 bounties

Yeah, a bit of a letdown there isn't a difference between classes and their class abilities.

Just off the top of my head...

Titan barricades.

Solar - blinds enemies if close by.

Arc - shock damages enemies if close by.

Void - improved durability.

 

[madquills]

Are you thinking like calcified fragments or something...haven't found anything like that. Just little lore interactables, which aren't much to write home about tbh.

Have found one or two things to scan that reveal one line of vaguely humorous dialogue. If in ALL this open world there isn't a bit more imagination to things you can stumble across it will probably be my biggest fault with the game. Utterly soulless open world.

 

[Fliesen]

great, thanks. I should really go finish the story, then.

I'm just done with the 2nd planet and i'm already lvl 20(+2)

 

[LiK]

The changes to the Void Titan subclass makes him more fun than he ever was in D1.

Hah yeah exactly, that would work and be the simplest thing to implement, not een a balancing issue. I'm enjoying the game but this lack of imagination is really, really bothering me for some reason, it's niggling away!

 

[Conkerkid11]

Just had to restart the Looped story mission because I missed a trigger for the objective or something.

Ugh...

Edit: Oh, cool. It saved my progress.

 

[LiK]

I almost want an official D1 story recap but I doubt that'll ever happen since they probably don't want to go through that narrative mess again.

 

[Strangelove77]

My bad. Brain fart.

I think the intent here is class has a class-natural half-super (barricade) and then you choose which talent you want on top of that (regular super)

 

[Mamont1537]

Are there cool looking shaders? Like single color ones?
All I've seen are a mix of different colors, even from paid lootboxes. They just change one multicolor mess into another.

 

[rdytoroll]

So uhh.

The fuck? Why do you post these big ass spoilers. thanks, I guess

 

[GlamFM]

Spoiler

:/ cmon, spoiler thread.

 

[lionelhutz]

So uhh....is the speaker dead? You don't ever see him again after he gets released from that thing.

WTF

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Getting an exotic before my first rare is ridiculous and now I have 2 before a single legendary. Who thought this was a good idea? I had to buy my first exotic in destiny 1 from
Xur with strange coins that took weeks to collect. It actually felt like an accomplishment.

 

[rdytoroll]

WTF

Don't quote that directly. Come on

That's the problem with taking away the grind - you feel NOTHING when you get something cool.

Oddly enough people don't realize that.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

I spoil shit

dick

 

[JetBlackPanda]

What the FUCK is that spoiler? Thanks bro

 

[madquills]

I guess that's the intention, but doesn't it seem weird to you? It's IN the subclass. Why not have it be affected however slightly by the actual subclass itself? A barrier everytime with slightly different elements would help differentiate the subclasses, give you more tactical flexibility, and be fun, as opposed to:

Your subclass choices:

1. Batter things to death with your super, or a bubble
2. Batter things (also with range) to death with your super
3. Batter things (also with range) to death with your super

Really inspiring.

 

[purg3]

Had a great day yesterday in terms of drops for my Titan - got 3 more exotics. Going to check out PvP now and then back to the power grind. Currently sitting at 241.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

So uhh.

Cheers idiot. the spoiler tag is there for a reason.

 

[LiK]

I've noticed people are not using spoiler tags. It's a new game guys. It has a real story. C'mon.

Aren't exotics before the light level soft cap effectively useless at endgame? It's the same as getting legendaries in Diablo 3 while leveling- you use them for a bit then dump and its cool you get to preview the effects now, but you'll dump them relatively quickly in grand scheme of things then wait to get them again at cap.

 

[Truant]

How far am I in the campaign? Adventures/side quests not included.

Spoiler

Just did the first Nessus mission.

 

[Heavy Iron Industries]

other way around to me, D2 sounds way more bassy and punchy than D1. I feel like I could take out an entire planet with one blast of a shotgun.

Maybe its my receiver...I'll have to check that its outputting in PCM and not anything else.

 

[Hyun Sai]

What the fuck with the spoilers here... Seems like I have to avoid this thread too...

 

[zoukka]

Matchmaking seems nice. My team didn't get a single kill during a whole match xD

Opponents had 500 power, I have 60.

You can infuse them to level them up.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

played a bit more today. at lvl 11 (124).

how far will i level up just doing what's available right now? so campaign/strikes/nightfall. i read you should leave milestones until you get to about 260 but i'm confused because it's stuff like play in crucible or get subclasses. i'm not getting any noticeable loot or anything. is it there milestones or something else?

i really want to be ready in time for the raid but not sure how to go about it.

 

[J-Skee]

I'm actually enjoying the story & would like to take my time with it, but at this rate, I'm going to have to rush through it.

 

[cilonen]

Spoilers for Leveling Up!

Work in Progress, my TheoryCrafting, anyone else can chime in, adjust my talking points
Here We Go!

Spoiler

First foremost,Enjoy the FUCKIBG STORY!
DONT WIRRY ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.

Do whatever activities, collect whatever, just finish campaign. Funny how I'm level 20 Power Level 221 on the 6tg of the 17th mission lol.

Cause I grinded away getting information for you all!
*Eagle Tear*

So your best option is to finish campaign.
Then hopefully along the way you dabbled in activities.

Now your main source of Loot is packages from the Vendor's that take in materials
Like Gunsmith with the Weapons and Armor, while each World has their own personal vendor with itbrequiringbyou tobtradecTokens in sets of 10' to fill up the bar


Sooner or later you will need to farm a little, to keep edging your Gear

It's [Bold]PARAMOUNT NOT TO TRADE IN MATERIALS FIRVREP RANK UPS UNTIL BLUE START BECOMINF SCARCE AT POWER LEVEL VALUE INCREASE!
Keep abusing the Blues until 260 PL Cap if possible.

Why? Cause by then you'll have a small stockpile to earn many Rep Rank Up packages to earn Legendary Loot for equipping and dismantling purposes

THERE'S A REASON IM FARMING UP TOKENS LIKE A MAD MAN.
More Packages, more Loot, more progression


Then once you surpass the 260 Hump, Crucible and Strikes take center stage until Raid with Rep packages being the back end backup.


So FINISH CAMPAIGN > EARN BLUES, Keep slotting better # gear, dismantle older blue gear
Save all purple Gear! > Then farm blues through PTE Heroics, repeat the same 3-4 Lost Sectors in a zone, the first area in EDZ is a FUCKING GOLDMINE!
2 High Value Targets, Chests Galore, 3 Lost Sectors, 1 PTE, 1 Enemy Forces move against each other Event
I can do a full cycle in 15 minutes, net me 10-15 Tokens, 4-6 Blue+ Gear, and As you have seen Glimmer Capped beyond belief.

Then spend those tokens once you are 260+, enjoy package Ranks Ups, loot in Legendary firm and be Raid Ready come Tuesday/Wednesday

You can get all 3 Guardians Raid Ready, just get 1 Guardian to be your Accelerant.
Just pump levels into him and feed old Legendary busted Gear into the newer Classes.

There You Go!

For new page!

Quoting again, this is really helpful.

Just to add my experience

Spoiler

I found a major hump at about 240, had to cash in tokens and get legendaries to get over it.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

You can infuse them to level them up.

And how much of a resource hog is that? Cant be cheap. Part of me misses the D1 method.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

How far am I in the campaign? Adventures/side quests not included.

Spoiler

Just did the first Nessus mission.

exactly half way through now. mission 8 out of 16. i'm just about to start the first nessus mission.

 

[traveler]

You can infuse them to level them up.

Oh crap. I totally overlooked this and just dismantled man next time I saw an upgrade haha. I don't remember that being in the game last time I played, but it's been a while. TTK era.

I'd say about half way.

 

[HelloNewman]

I'm still leveling but I think it uses the same currency as Xur now.

 

[Hyun Sai]

Well, you also need exotic shards to infuse them...

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

i have no idea what i'm doing lol. it's kinda overwhelming. i'm probably not going to be able to keep up (again). i need to consider if i want to drop any more money on this game. was thinking of getting it on PC.

Story mode has tutorials as you progress. Don't worry about it as you proceed. I'll probably look up other stuff after I finish the campaign.
