Got my first Exotic through an engram! Borealis (PS4 exclusive sniper rifle, which can change it's element freely) woohoo!

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

The subclass missions are really well done. Simple in design but great atmosphere and mystery around them. Super satisfying too.

They are beautiful.

 

[Foxxsoxx]

If anyone wants to do the 240 version of the Nightfall hit me up on PSN, Fakehound.

 

[RedRaider]

It looks really good. I posted about it just above.

Sorry about that. Says it has an impetus perk which "increases weapon damage for a short time after a kill." Whoa!

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

Do adventures appear post game as well? wondering if it worth it to do them as I level, or wait till the end and do it then.

 

[Hawkian]

I'm at level 8 and doing public events to get this item to drop like people told me earlier.

Ah yeah apparently it can drop as early at 7, but I didn't get mine until 10 just FYI.

Just decoded an exotic engram and got the Mericless Fusion Rifle. Has anyone used it and is it any good?

eh I basically hate you and everyone you have ever spoken to right now if that means anything.

...

Against anything that can absorb more than one fusion rifle shot, it is an absolute monster. Somewhere near if not top tier for boss DPS in the entire game right now.

Sorry about that. Says it has an impetus perk which "increases weapon damage for a short time after a kill." Whoa!

...

You are burying the lede.

 

[pots555]

Well, I could not resist. Bought it tonight and I'm loving it! The gunplay is so good!

 

[Mafro]

Am I missing something or is it not possible to pick strikes individually from the Director? I can only see them from the playlist.

I wasn't as fond of it the second time around. It's still awesome though.

 

[MythicReclaimer]

You can do them after the campaign, so far Adventures have been the best thing about the game for me.

What are you guys doing with your glimmer?

Im at max and dont know what to spend it on

I've got like 75k and haven't spent a single one yet LOL

 

[Santiako]

I got mine from a random chest in the world.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Is crucible just not working at all?

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

Got a legendary to recommend?

I love my Dissonance-34. You can't use it like a regular "good" sidearm at all but I am enjoying the hell out of it, even in the Crucible. Suros, they make some good shit I tell ya

Hah, I'm afraid I started my character over from Titan (the planet), to change race/gender and get a decent dance. Yes, I'm that shallow lol.

Mine is just a green but didn't know they existed and loved the feel of sidearms in D1 like Havoc Pigeon. Just held the trigger on the green one in D2 accidentally, and then again not so accidentally. Feels ridiculously good. Gunplay is so on point.

Got the next two days off to dive into everything though so will be able to join the discussions more actively soon. Just keen to avoid campaign spoilers until I've gone through it absorbing it all.

As an aside though, I love what they've done with the races so far; Hive and Fallen. The designs and subtle changes really work well. Only a couple missions into Titan but the atmosphere is really good. New hive death animation is awesome too.

lol if it makes you feel any better I would totally trade it in for the PS4 Exclusive Borialis right now. I don't even like Fusion Rifles. : \

 

[Floody]

Just from the playlist.

Outside of the consumable Shaders. It and how Crucible Modes work our the only changes I really don't like.

Holy shit

 

[ryan299]

Legion's Gulch is a terrible map.

 

[RoboPlato]

Are there very few rocket launchers in this one? I've only gotten one so far, have gotten a bunch of all the other weapon types.

 

[Mafro]

Only in the playlist.

Huh. That's an odd choice.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Thank you for sympathizing with me here. I was worried someone would mock me.

I hated Chroma for the same reason. It was too stressful to use. But also, Chroma was applied ON TOP of shaders. These new shaders dictate everything.

Also, another good point someone said on reddit:

the end result is more "I don't care about getting the raid shader, because I can't use it without losing this other shader I really like"​

Haha, exactly. If I changed a shader, I would likely need to change the Chroma as well.

Honestly, I try my best to be a completionist. I find it fun. I collected most of the Choma armor. If the game let me "use" all 8 or whatever Chroma colors on each piece, letting them stay permanently so that I can cycle through whenever, I would have done that.

And honestly, I think others would have put more effort into it as well -- which could have led to more Eververse purchases, in my opinion.

Gear mods from weaponsmith.

 

[Alucrid]

were glimmer and shards universal in the first game?

 

[Hawkian]

I want that too. I guess I mean, at least you got a great weapon and will put it to good use-

I don't even like Fusion Rifles. : \

 

[everyday math]

I want this

 

[jett]

So what's gonna be the deal with the release of expansion packs on PC, console-parity or delayed by a month+ again?

 

[corin7]

I am literally in awe of the art in this game. In is in class of it's own. The lighting, the textures even just the concepts... incredible. Only level 12 but every second of this has been amazing. Well done Bungie.

 

[Trickster]

Once you complete the campaign, what kind of new stuff unlocks? Hoping for it to be similar in nature to how TTK just kept unlocking stuff for a good while

Asked this a few times now without an answer, hoping i'll get one this time

 

[Hawkian]

So what's gonna be the deal with the release of expansion packs on PC, console-parity or delayed by a month+ again?

they said something like "every future destiny 2 release will be simultaneous"

 

[RoboPlato]

I believe they are going to be the same on all platforms.

 

[Draper]

So 2 things, I'm at level 20 now, how do I get my preorder stuff?

Also, is there any reason not to decode my white engrams at this point?

 

[catspit]

Show me your Exo's face if you have one! Love seeing the different combinations!

 

[ZeoVGM]

The sequence after the intro mission

Spoiler

where you find the farm was really bad. The slow walking (a huge FPS no no) section was unbearably long. And the dialogue is terrrrible, I couldn't stop making fun of it as it was playing haha.

I'm loving everything else though.

Honestly, that was one of my favorite moments in a video game this gen. It was such a noticeable contrast from Destiny 1 and it was extremely emotional for me and my fiancee, who was watching me play.

And oh god, that music.

 

[RedRaider]

I want that too. I guess I mean, at least you got a great weapon and will put it to good use-

The charging sound the fusion rifles make sound weird to me lol. I prefer the fast firing auto rifles instead.

 

[Dalek]

I'm at level 8 and doing public events to get this item to drop like people told me earlier.

I don't think they'll drop until level 10 if I remember. Just keep playing and it will happen.

[Jaraghan]

Thinking about raid builds.

For warlocks.

Spoiler

I've got some exotic legs which are called
Lunafaction boots
They give the ability of auto reload for anyone who stands in my rift.

Spoiler

I'm a voidwalker with devour. So I can top my health up killing adds without reloading. I kill adds.

I've seen an exotic fusion which rate of fire increases when the target doesn't kill. Could be the new ghally.

So I trigger my rift, using the extra damage perk, team stands in it, teams shoots turbo fusion rifles which fire faster and faster without reloading.
Teammate nightstalker arrows boss.
Boss gets melted.

Holy shit that sounds busted

Yep. Content going forward will release on all platforms at same time.

I love getting the Celestial nighthawk from a purple engram reward even though I hate gunslinger >.>

OMG THE NIGHTHAWK IS IN IT?

YESSSSSSSSS.

You can make this one even more powerful.

Use the Storm Caller rift that boosts team damage too. Health, ammo, and damage all boosted by the rift.

Then you need progress story. Gunshith should sell you mods and could be story progress tied.

Engrams drop with a level now, so no point holding on to any.

Yeah, I've got merciless and it's insane for boss dps. As a regular fusion rifle for mobs it's nothing special but after that 3rd shot the charge time essentially becomes a trigger pull.
