Uhm... what does: generate gunsmith telemetry data on solar/arc/void weapons kills mean or do exactly?

 

[noomi]

Cost is is different per shader.

Armour
Common - 250
Rare - 250
Legendary - 750

Weapons
Common - 1250
Rare - 1250
Legendary 3750

Ghost
Common 500
Rare 500
Legendary 1500

I don't know if exotic shaders exist?

Doing your ship though is like 20,000

I'm trying to figure this out too. Seems like a useless thing to use a ghost shell for right now.

 

[JohnIIVII]

This seems to have been refuted upthread, at least for exotic engrams.

Oh right I see that now sorry. Well that's interesting.

If you get kills with those weapons you can accumulate inventory items that can be turned into the Gunsmith for rep.

 

[BrightLightLava]

I thought it was Engrams that are picked up in a random drop are set based on when you pick it up. Engrams received from vendors scale with you (until around 260 power)

Is that not right?

 

[Chase Lebowski]

I'm gonna try again, please, fellow DestinyGAF:

This is the aliasing on a base PS4, is it better on a PS4 Pro? Could you show me the same area, please? It would be really helpful.

In these screens you can clearly see it in the UI (in the purple boxes) and in general. But in motion is even worse, even at 720p. (except the UI, in the video is way better than it really is, probably because of the 720p)

I usually don't care about these things, but it really bothers me in this game.

 

[FinKL]

So from what I understand, if it's an engram IN your inventory, the PL is rolled then and static which is based on highest PL loadout.

If it's from a vendor, the vendor engrams roll PL based on your PL so you can keep coming back to the vendor and see the PL increasing.

Not too bad considering the amount of glimmer you now get. If it was that and the 25k cap it'd have been an absolute death sentence to creativity.

If you have a 4K TV it will certainly look better on PS4 Pro, I'm not sure if D2 downscales to 1080p though....

I still notice jaggies, but they aren't that bad. truthfully I noticed more aliasing on my PC @ 1440p

 

[ryseing]

Anyone on PS4 up for Nightfall? I'll keep an eye on the Discord/ITT for the next little bit.

PSN is bmc811.

If you can't run it now but would like to later (around ~9:30 EST) message me on there anyway.

 

[Bizazedo]

Mida Multi-Tool is preeeeeeeetty good.

 

[Grisby]

Not even on the last planet and I hit lvl20. Man, that was fast.

Interesting that the real money lady gives you three engrams after you ding. Ended up getting a ton of mods/shaders as well as a salt emote.

Also got that ramen emote which is alright since I saw that this morning and thought it would be cool to get. I must now eat ramen in front of people in the common area.

 

[MassiveNights]

Have had two exotic drops tonight from doing quick match crucible, not even been playing loads, just trying to get that percentage up for the milestone. Got a sweet laser thing.

 

[george_us]

Just finished the campaign.

Awesome that we

Spoiler

get to return to the City. Middle of the campaign was a little so-so but the first and final couple of missions were amazing. And dat ending tease.

Now onto the grind!

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Not too bad considering the amount of glimmer you now get. If it was that and the 25k cap it'd have been an absolute death sentence to creativity.

Also once you hit 20 there is like nothing to spend glimmer on and just heaps of it in your inventory.

 

[xviper]

does Faction leveling up gives 265+Gear ?? i leveled up twice and they are still 265

 

[noomi]

All these people getting exotic drops, and I ain't got shit yet.

C'mon game, let's not have a repeat of D1 loot here for old noomi here. I've been good to you, be good to me too.

 

[draughn101]

This seems to have been refuted upthread, at least for exotic engrams.

Yea, I was gonna say, I received an 88 Exotic and it never increased. I have been infusing it (220 now), which is pretty awesome.

 

[RoboPlato]

Do we know what the recommended Power is for the Raid. Curious to see if I can get there in time.

 

[MastAndo]

Do you turn your PS4 off or put it in rest mode?

I turned it off. I also have a thing about turning off the power strip my PS4 and other devices are plugged into, so I'm almost 100% sure it's powered off.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

does Faction leveling up gives 265+Gear ?? i leveled up twice and they are still 265

I think 265 is that cap. Anything above that look st your Milestones for "Powerful Rewards" or whatever. The word Powerful is the important bit.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Just ran

Spoiler

The Pyramidion

. That was an incredible Strike. No wipes.

 

[xviper]

got the Sturm, now i need to dismantle 5 rare or better scout rifles, is there a person that sells Rare weapons or do i have to farm them ?

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

What's the reported rough length of the campaign for people that like to stop and look around and take a bit of time in places?

 

[Tovarisc]

265 is engram cap for that stuff.

Do we know what the recommended Power is for the Raid. Curious to see if I can get there in time.

Nothing announced, but I imagine 260-280 for NM.

Just off of a small eyeball it looks like the UI is at X4 AA, and that the game is X2.

I can be very wrong about this eyeball.

 

[Theorry]

Nobody sells it. Public events are a good way.

so leveling up Factions now is useless ?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

um lol what?

how exactly are you getting your legendaries?

 

[Ernest]

What happens when you quit out of the game in the middle of a mission during the campaign? Do you have to start it over, or right where it last saved?

I had people come over last night, and had to quit out immediately, during an intense fight, and I don't know where it'll restart me.

 

[Smiley90]

Does anyone have a list of which activities/tasks are weekly and which are daily?

 

[Raven117]

Do that with your alt bro, its all about gearing up for the raid!!!!!!!!

Spoiler

Im joking. I do hate the fact that Bungie releases the raid so damn quickly after release. It forces you to burn through their content so you can try and go into the raid blind (which is one of the craziest and coolest experiences in video games if you ask me. Im almost not paying attention to story and surrounding stuff just so that I can enjoy it on my alt. Silly, but...eh

 

[Strider]

so leveling up Factions now is useless ?

Nope... Seems like it'll be the primary way to level up once you get pretty high LL if I understand it right. Also it'll be good for just getting legendaries and shards (if you dismantle)

I'm gonna wait to level up all my factions once I hit the max light level for blue/rare drops.

 

[Family Fry]

Doing your ship though is like 20,000

I hadn't even looked.....Jesus Christ.

 

[xviper]

um lol what?

legendary Engram drop is WAY more common than it was in Destiny Year 1

most of my legendaries are 265+, i still have a couple of armors below 265, once i get everything above that, Factions will be useless

 

[arimanius]

So played a few quick play cruicible matches. After playing a ton of pvp in D1 I must say I'm not a fan of D2 pvp so far.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

I'm not too concerned this time around as I have people that are waiting to run it blind as well. Story campaign is a big thing and I have the next two days off work, so was just curious to see how long it might take.

That said, I completely agree that it should have been at least another week, if not a couple. Don't go around saying how much story you added to the game and then make people feel like they have to rush through it.

Pendulums man. I didn't care for D1 PvP at all but absolutely loved what I played in the Beta. Have yet to give it a bash on live but I assume it's pretty much the same? Can see myself playing a lot of it this time around.

I had people come over last night, and had to quit out immediately, during an intense fight, and I don't know where it'll restart me.

I actually stopped at a boss fight and then came back and it started me at the fight checkpoint.

It doesn't give you a "Resume" option but it does seem to resume automagically.

 

[xviper]

sorry i forgot that Legendary shards exist, so Factions are not useless even when you are above 265+

I wish it was next Friday instead of Tuesday. Because of my work schedule I won't really be able to to get to it until the weekend a most people will start focusing on Trials then.

 

[Moodz]

So I managed to play one crucible match but can't play a second one.
I always get a crash while it searching for players.
I'm kind of worried... Is it happening to anyone else?

Tons of people. But it's fine. Plenty to do outside of the Crucible still.

Man, this thing is so goddamned good.

Alright! I knew people had a hard time finding matches but didn't know they had crashes.
Hope it gets fixed soon

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

Unpopular opinion: I don't like how assists count as kills in Crucible. Is there any way to see "true" kills?
