Destiny 2 |OT| Here We Go Again

Can someone please explain what a Flashpoint is? I did the patrol mission on EDZ, got the milestone, then it said I should do 3 more. But I don't see anyone on the map? Or are the blue quests patrols?
 
Just finished the story and hit level 20.

I read that you can repeat adventures and lost sectors for better loot.

How do you replay adventures? They're no longer on the map, are they? I only remember seeing the ones I haven't completed.

Participate in Public Events in the designated planet. Right it's the EDZ (as you mentioned).

Flashpoint is the dedicated patrol for the week. The mission you are on is to unlock flashpoints I believe. Find patrol beacons and do those. Open up your ghost to find them.
 
You can see that it's public events-focused. Open the Director and hold L2 to view your milestones.

Unlocked Titan's fire hammer subclass. Pretty fun to throw fire hammers but is not much different then the striker subclass except instead of blue, you're orange. And it's also similar to the Cap America shield power too except not purple.

I'd start a new game with a different character but I'm too invested with my Titan now.

I feel Sentinel is the way to go. Bubble shield + Cap America. I only have Striker next to it but it seems its pretty much Cap america only (w/o shield throw).
 
Ayy I got the exotic engram I needed for the drang exotic quest and it ended up being the Borealis, probably my most wanted gun in the game.

You can talk to the Destination NPC to replay them.
 
Is there any way to skip the first mission when making new characters? I want to try the other classes but having to play through those pointless missions is killing my drive to do so.

i want to know this too. am i missing something? slogging through the intro missions just so i can try the other two classes is dumb...
 
Oh you sweet summer child...

Yes it will still be popular

Haha, fair enough. My usually group of gaming friends hasn't been all that into Destiny, so I'll be looking to a robust online community when I play.

I've been bitten before when I jump in too late on the hype, but given Destiny's history so far, it does seem like a safe bet. It's hard not to wonder when you read about people already having beaten the campaign, etc.
 
3 days in and just learned the map symbols.

Accurate that they disappear/gray out for good after you find things like chests and dungeons or do they return?
 
from 200-265 just do whatever you want. Lost sectors, adventures, public events, strikes, crucible. It's all good. I went from 226 to 262 last night just by dicking around in the EDZ. (and finally finishing the story).

on a different note I've only had 1 exotic engram drop. a bunch of legendary ones though.

Holy crap LoP hype!!! I need to do that. I think I'm like 210
 
Kill stuff, get better guns.
Worry about that other junk later.

Cliff's Notes:
Once you hit level 20, find a gun style you like...
Find a legendary (purple) or exotic (yellow) gun that matches your gun style like and you want to never part with it.
There will be an icon under the guns info to allow it to eat more powerful weapons to consume their power level.
Find other purple or yellow objects and dismantle them into shards.
Use shards and guns more powerful than your current favorite weapon and keep feeding your gun till it's number goes up to 300.

Shaders change the color of your gear

Tokens are given to Destination NPCs to improve your rep with them, which rewards you with engrams

Engrams give you gear. The color of them determines their strength. White=common, green=uncommon, blue=rare, purple=legendary, yellow=exotic

Don't get too attached to anything this early in the game, just cycle new things as you get higher power level items. Only thing worth keeping are exotics and just infuse those to higher levels when you want. Just dismantle everything as you get something more powerful.

Wow really appreciate it guys. This info will really help.
 
So, last thing I did last night was beat the story. Now that I'm done with that and level 20, how would you recommend playing from here? Grind strikes? Seek out every adventure on every planet? Go run through Lost Sectors? The answer is probably 'mix and match', but I'm curious what everyone's having the most fun with.
 
I arrived at the 3rd planet. Love the game so far

But is it me or planet are much smaller than before ? It feels .... not planets. Just locations. I mean Venus , or the moon , or the earth before felt much much bigger or am I wrong ?

I feel completely the opposite. Maybe it's the skyboxes or varied terrain throughout but they feel fucking massive.

I'm doing a bit of everything. Running events while seeking out treasure, doing Lost Sectors and Adventures is a lot of fun.

Channel that profile pic and take it all in.

Ok, I just did the three patrol mission, and then returned to Clayde. What am I supposed to do now? Public Events on EDZ?
 
Question for Titan "Sentinel Shield" super:
When you block with the shield, (1) can you guard people behind you and become a protective wall, and (2) Can people shoot through your shield (unlike the bubble)? I really want to pop that super, absorb ALL the damage from the boss, and let my teammates just wail on said boss from behind my shield (being the damage-sponge tank is just too much fun).

I'm assuming it just protects you, which would be a huge bummer.
 
So do Lost Sectors show up on your map, and does it mark off which ones you've already done? Also, is the loot reward for doing them based off your level or the general difficulty of the area?
 
Still no randoms in sight during story modes, adventures etc on Xbox One for me. Looks like I'm playing this entirely single player which kind of defeats the purpose.
 
I was trying to get game audio to come in through my PS4 gold headset or whatever but it wasn't working. Is this related?

No, it's just a pre-set. You have to go to Settings and make sure it's sending all audio through the headphones. Google "no sound through headset gold" and the fix should come up.
 
About to jump in when my download finishes. I got a question: should I save reputation tokens until I'm level 20 and 200 light?

You can turn them in but you can't get the engram till level 20.

So they'll just be waiting for you there until you do.
