I look ridiculous lmao

 

[JohnOfMars]

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.

And don't freak out if you already turned in enough engrams to level up. The engram will level with you. It doesn't become fixed until it's claimed.

I look ridiculous lmao

Fuck no, man. That looks dope af.

Looks like it's got some of the Nessus armor set, right? What activities are you finding helpful for grinding Nessus Rep? Do you have a good loop or rhythm?

 

[The Last Wizard]

Can anyone on PS4 higher than 200 help me with the thaviks fight? It's so damn cheap.

 

[Owensboro]

Gonna repost for the new page. I've searched all morning and can't find any answer (and I'm not home, nor do I have a fireteam to test it!)

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.

 

[X-Frame]

So if I am 265 now .. is now a good time for me to apply any Legendary +5 mods that I have to my gear, do exotic quests, and do my weekly Milestones? Datto says to wait until about 268 minimum before doing those but I don't know how I'll be able to hit 268 from 265 without doing those quests.

Unless I just need more Legendary mods?

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Hit 20,200 ish power. Trying to finish the main quest but keep getting distracted. Haven't felt like km grinding once which is good

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?

Yes and yes. The image for the entrance, shows up on the map. It's like a lower case n with a dot inside it's bright for ones you haven't been to and dull for ones you have been to.

Based off your level.

so should i dismantle any legendary items i get? what about exotics?

i'm not 100% sure how infusion works. help me out. i've been just basically been equipping the most powerful gear and dismantling everything else.

I'm kinda here too. I think if you like an exotic or legendary item don't dismantle it but dismantle others to get shards. When you have enough shards and a stronger weapon you can click triangle or Y on the exotic you like and choose infuse on your best weapon of that type to make the exotic stronger.

Again I'm not 100% sure but I think that's what to do.

 

[B00TE]

Yeah, mostly Nessus stuff. Just been doing lost sectors and public events while I look for chests. Mostly get stuff while goofing off since I've been doing them with friends. I also like the shaders that drop there so I'm trying to build a stockpile. Not going well, though.

 

[RoboPlato]

Infusion is something you'll do mostly later on or with exotics. You pay some glimmer and legendary shards (which you get for dismantling legendaries and exotics) and dismantle gear of a higher power rating to improve one with a lower rating. For example I have an exotic helmet with 103 power. If I got a helmet with a 250+ rating I can infuse the exotic to give it that rating.

if you infuse anything infuse stuff into legendary gear that has a +5 modifier on it but dont worry about it until you're near 265. dismantle lower rated legendary gear. if you have a great exotic that you think you'll get a lot of use out of then infuse stuff into it once you've hit 265+ I've got plenty of these legendary shards and we dont know how many you'll need for Xur

 

[noomi]

Clans!

So it looks like once you get your clan banner from Hawthorne you will receive a new milestone for Clan XP (once you fill it 100% you get a powerful gear engram). This looks like another weekly activity similar to Flashpoint, Nightfall & Raid...etc

You receive personal clan XP for completing activities for the milestone (crucible, strikes...etc), and it looks like also some shared clan xp that will work towards leveling your clan as well. Cap is 5000xp per clan member per week. Going from level 1 > 2 clan level takes 100,000 xp to progress.

Then there are engrams your clan can work towards (each week it seems), that will unlock for all clan members once completed. Half the fireteam needs to be in the same clan, and once completed engrams will unlock for every member in the clan (even if they didn't participate).

Cool stuff

lmao oh my god, I can see it. holy shit.

 

[jmvmadeira]

Finish campaign on my lock. Goes to get rewards. Gets the UK virgin promotion sparrow and bonus cold heart from pre order. Gets exotic engram from Zavala.

Gets another cold heart....

I think my playthrougb may have just killed itself. I've finished the story and was

doing the rounds talking to people.
It asked me to speak to Holiday but she just shows me her store and the mission icon stays above her head.

Sigh... I'm gonna need to start again aren't I?

 

[AaronMT86]

This Nightfall is pretty tough with randoms. I am at 271 Power Level and still struggling to do the 5 min challenge.

I assume you have tried relogging?

Also DO NOT take that Zavala engram. Gring PL up first

 

[Dynamic3]

I'm very curious how scaling works in this game. Both I (level 4) and a level 20 were firing at an enemy, and it seemed as if our shots were doing about the same amount of damage.

 

[IHaveIce]

not trying to selfadvertise too much but want GAF to be eligible for that aswell.

I will giveaway a copy of Destiny 2 on Stream www.twitch.tv/ihaveice

If this is already too much, a mod can feel free to delete this, I just want everyone to be able to win

Thanks. I'd like to be ready for raid if I can manage it, so it would suck if I accidentally delayed my progress somehow.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

as for levelling up vendors am i OK to just redeem tokens as i get them? i had a few engrams waiting for me which i accepted. or should i hold onto my tokens until i've levelled up a bit more?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

The menu music is really good

Also this ot Seems to have like slowed to a crawl lmao

 

[JohnOfMars]

Destiny has always been that way. For public areas or shared non-end game activities, all damage is scaled DOWN to match content. Over-leveling is generally not possible.

Damage does not scale UP however in that if you joined your friend's Nightfall, you'd be doing almost no damage.

Thanks. I'd like to be ready for raid if I can manage it, so it would suck if I accidentally delayed my progress somehow.

Yep. Turning is fine. Waiting is fine. Don't fret about it.

 

[Tovarisc]

Ye, just pump everything out from token vendors.

I think it looks great, lol. Are those the shoulders from the Sentinel art in the talent page? It's a PS exclusive set I think, I want it for my Titan, but I'm afraid it'll look silly on a female model.

 

[noomi]

Also looks like each character can contribute 5,000xp to the clan every week. So no worries if you don't have many members.... you just have to be extra hardcore and grind xp on each toon

 

[broony]

Is there a max power level of items from token venders?

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

265 IIRC

You should be running Sunberaker....

Stop. Hammer time.

 

[Strider]

Just got this awesome grenade launcher in crucible

woah. looks sick.

I hope it's good tho all the grenade launchers i've tried have been extremely underwhelming

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

is Stormcaller meant to take longer to unlock than Voidwalker? I didn't even put any effort into Voidwalker but it's take quite a while to unlocked Stormcaller.

At this rate I think I might just go back to Dawnblade.

 

[theonerayman]

woah. looks sick.

I hope it's good tho all the grenade launchers i've tried have been extremely underwhelming dating inlcuding the beta launcher...

It's one of the best looking weapons but I didn't like it. One shot and reload and unless you are hitting a void shield the damage is crappy at best. But it's a cool looking weapon with cool lore.

 

[Dead Prince]

I look ridiculous lmao

is that a lady bug type of armor

 

[wesleyshark]

The clan implementation is awesome. We're currently earning xp just dicking around in patrol.

It takes forever. I think it was seven public events (2 of them heroic), a ton of adventures, lost sectors, and several story missions before it was ready for me. It's worth it though. So worth it.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Yeah I'll be avoiding him until I get a higher light level. I got disconnected from the servers and reconnected but no luck. Going to try a full reboot and see if that fixes it.

Not my first glitch either. Last night I had a gun that was refilling it's clip faster than it could empty it.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

is it easy to join up with clan members in game? do you need to add each other on PSN/XB?

 

[theonerayman]

The clan implementation is awesome. We're currently earning xp just dicking around in patrol.

Can you earn clan xp on your own from patrols or do you have to be partied up for patrols and what not to count towards the clan?

 

[Marvel]

NF aint no joke lol.

I see.

So let's say I have two of the exact same weapon (identical stats), yet one has 20 ATK and the other has 40 ATK...

If I'm in a lower level zone (enemy DEF of 20), both will do the exact same damage, yet if I'm in a higher level zone (say enemy DEF of 40), the ATK 20 weapon will do little to no damage as it's below the enemy DEF threshold?

Also, is there a way to identify the enemy DEF range by region?

 

[FlutterPuffs]

It takes forever. I think it was seven public events (2 of them heroic), a ton of adventures, lost sectors, and several story missions before it was ready for me. It's worth it though. So worth it.

What's so good about Stormcaller? Happy with the Devour on Voidwalker at the moment.

 

[Strangelove77]

265 IIRC

So engrams are the only way to get past 265?

In D2 the titans have a silly look. Ten bux says their full raid gear will be basically a mini Gauhl out fit.

 

[Smiley90]

So engrams are the only way to get past 265?

also milestone rewards.

and given the vast variety of activities that give engrams (lost sectors, public events, adventures, crucible, strikes, nightfall, raid, trials off the top of my head), it's not too bad.
