Destiny 2 |OT| Here We Go Again

Really didn't like Destiny, but I am ready to jump back in with this one. Got the Season Pass too. Hopefully 2nd time's the charm for me. Any way to permanently screw my build here?
Nope. You can change as you please.
By level 20 you'll have enough ability point for every node in every tree in every subclass.
 
YES!!!

I thought often at how I felt when I first landed on Venus and how amazingly vast it seemed.

I have those kinds of reactions to pretty much every individual space in each Destination. They are SO varied and well thought out.

It's why the Lost Sectors are so great. They're not as challenging or in depth as an adventure, but you're guided through new aspects of these phenomenal environments.

NESSUS SPOILER

The Tangles, when I arrived in that space, absolutely took my breath away.

Man, I absolutely can't wait for the new art book. The art design for Destiny deserves so much more appreciation. I agree that Venus was visually outstanding, but the in-game exploration didn't deliver on the possibilities it offered in terms of exploration.

I am loving the Lost Sectors. The exploration and chance to take in often fantastical environments hidden from plain sight has many times proven more rewarding and enjoyable to me than the loot.
 
Question for anyone game sharing the deluxe edition.

Im game sharing the deluxe so I can play with my wife but her account is the primary owner. Will this game only give the deluxe content to her? I want the sword (she doesnt care about that stuff) but I dont see it or the emblem in my vault and I already beat the campaign.

Yup. Even the first "easy" one in EDZ is like "Wow,

okay this weird hallway system is like caves now and there's a whole fucken fallen nest cool

It feels like how I always thought it must have felt like to be on the Island in LOST.

So much cool storytelling, so many weird paths and caves to go down.

God I love it.
 
Better have her start the day one patch download or you're going to be waiting even longer.

I actually got two packages waiting at home: Destiny 2, and a power planer to help with building a dresser for my kid. So I'll start the download for my first toy, then unbox and setup the other.

Toys galore! Unfortunately I don't have time galore....
 
I haven't finished the campaign, I've only just arrived on Io, but can we expect a
"Taken Queen"
at some point in the near future? The rather ominous
Taken Orbs appear to be broadcasting some kind of signal beckoning Savathûn, the Witch-Queen
. I remember the
Taken King's ending implied Eris served a Queen.
I'm assuming
Savathûn
is that
Queen
.

So what do you guys think of Kinetic/Energy/Power vs. Primary/Secondary/Heavy?

Personally I don't like it. It's limiting half of the gun types to a single slot. I feel like it's a kneejerk reaction because they couldn't find a way to nerf shotguns in PVP.

Not as bad as I thought it would be. There's still plenty of strategy to be had picking your load out.
 
Failsafe is basically Glados. And I miss Glados so she's fine.

Nope. You can change as you please.

Nah. I'm 20 now with 220 power and I only have 3 skills on my 3rd class and my 2nd one still missing a few nodes. You definitely have to work a little harder to fill all 3 classes.
 
What is a Flashpoint? Where do I find it?

Opens up at the end of the game after you advance your Milestones. It's a weekly milestone to complete objectives on a particular destination. Save for as late as possible or until you're at least Power Level 265 if you want to be the most efficient.

Next thing you know we'll have shader codes from poptarts, rockstars, or taco bell boxes at one code per one shader use...

That Mida is looking hot as is though
 
Anyone on Xbox interested in running some Strikes and/or a Nightfall? I'm currently level 267 and need to run a Nightfall in order to complete
my Exotic Quest Line "The Rat Pack" with more than five minutes remaining

Alright, finished the campaign and absolutely loved it, amazing. And after completing it, they introduce the challenges, patrols, etc...

What should I start with? I have 203 power level.
 
I noticed my faction reps aren't giving me legendaries past 265. So what should I do now to level up? Just get legendary/exotic engrams?
 
You don't any more?

Do you level up gear at all?
Nope. Well, in terms of Power yes (via infusion)

But a gun is its whole self when you pick it up, and I love it.

I mean, you're at the bleeding edge. I don't even know what Legendary Engrams go to if anything higher. Exotics I'm sure. But you're raid-ready.

I haven't completed the campaign yet, but have patrols and challenges. They unlock earlier, right after
zavala, cayde and ikora get back to the farm

Which for me was around level 14.
 
Anyone on PS4 looking to team up for some quick patrols, then public events, two crucible matches and not the nightfall yet (for you know what?)

Getting gear is so much more exciting with the new system. If I get a gun people are raving about, I know exactly how it'll perform and don't have to grind to get the ability that makes it. The excitement comes from the drop, not from hoping RNG gave you the right roll and grinding until you could fully utilize it.
 
can you change how your character looks?

or delete and remake? ;/
You can delete and remake at no loss (it shows your first created date, so if you realllllly care about that)

I scrapped my pathetic Awoken warlock for an Exo as he always should have been.

So good. The hunt is back on but there's no "oh well, it's trash" upon inspecting. Much faster Time-to-Cheer from good drops.

Also makes it easier to get a feel for the different manufacturers and archetypes you favor, so much less of this "well is it the perks or is it the gun" when trying something out.
 
Hey Bungie and et al,

Been out of the saddle since Reach, mostly off farming planetside.

Heard a tower was falling so one day I went there after scavenging some detritus.

At the top I warned everyone of what was to happen then I set a vigil in the tree.

On 9.7.17 @ ~1:30AM cst one of my dogs was ran over and killed.

Welcome to the farm, Guardians!

Yes, even puppies.

Her name: Lola
