You can do it but you'll get creamed if you aren't very situationally aware. Tons of adds , rotating element burns and TONS of shielded enemies. It's harder by far then any of the original nightfalls.

So would PL 260 most likely be significantly better?

Anybody has the link to that Reddit levelling guide? I can't find it in my history.
Also had the biggest jump scare pretty much ever. I went to unlock the Voidwalker subclass on my Warlock. Entered the portal...got stuck in a white screen...Moved around a bit and the portal spit me out...and now...all sound and music was gone. Whatever, maybe entering the portal again will fix it. So I turned my sound up to verify if it wasn't my TV and then went back it and it loaded correctly. Went around with the voice overs for the light figures, not playing. Until I approach one of them expecting more silence and forgetting that my sound was stupid high. Now the voice triggered for that one goddamn asshole, I passed by expecting nothing. Think I aged 10 years from that one.

Good to know haha, thank you. Definitely not the case so we'll hold off for a third.

As high as you can get it frankly. Bungie's recommendation of 240 is straight bullshit. I got creamed big time until I did it at 254. You'll likely fail it a bunch because you need to learn the encounter too since it's so new. I did it with random clan members and it took 6 attempts. It's like a mini raid frankly. Also for some reason Arc and Void rotate in more frequently than Solar so have some weapons that are setup for that. I killed the boss by the way with 25 seconds remaining.
How? You must have been 280s before finishing up the quest.

What a fantastic game, convinced my gf to play with me and we are having blast, exploring EDZ finding lost sectors, public events, discovering nook and crannies with chests or scannables; really good stuff.
On another note I unlocked
Is it just me or melee is stronger on this game? I could swear in D1 it was super weak unless you had that trait from Titans but here every class the Hunter and Titan melee do seem to pack a punch.
On another note I unlocked
the striker class and WOW they made these two titan classes so fun and different to play as from D1. The mission also has a fantastic atmosphere and the lore bits with wei ning were great

This is good to know. I was not gonna do the grind if the pace of leveling was the same that it was on the first.

Im still on the campaign and on the 4th planet. The campaign is way better than D1s lol. However the planet sizes feel odd. Earth is really big compared to D1 but the other locations feel kind of small. Its been ages since i played D1 though so i cant remember how large each area was. Is what i have noticed accurate?

How do clans work? I got my banner. As far as I understand it the clan levels up based on what activities members do and you earn rewards for the entire clan. Is that right?
However there is a part about personal contribution. I only just loaded the game up for the first time since clans went live and my clan is already maxed it out. So i get these rewards too, right? I will obviously try my best to contribute but if I don't play I still get them? When does the new season start?
Also no members are showing up for me...it just keeps loading. I want to see others so I can join up with them.

Seems to be taking me ages to get to level 20. I've probably put around 12 hours in on various activities and I'm only level 16. All my friends hit 20 ages ago.
I don't really mind though, I'm enjoying the campaign and just roaming around. Did my first strike last night, lot of fun. They're already more interesting that D1

My members dont show either but they're in, for sure.
So each one caps XP pts on weekly basis. You can each only contribute 5K , i believe. Yep, it's gonna be a grind to level up
edit: i also believe 2 members of the clan, at a minimum, need to beat the checkmarked events to get the rewards for the entire group.

I'm absolutely positive that Cabal extraction public events are 100% impossible to solo. I refuse to believe anyone's done it.
I love how chaotic they are, but it's starting to get frustrating always finding myself alone in the instance with them. There are millions of people playing this game, I know there are other Guardians out there!!

I agree with this and I hate them. Too much dying.

For now just buy the boosters that Cayde sells. When you're at a higher PL you can start investing in mods.
If you use those boosts and a planet specific Ghost that highlights mats, you can just go around doing patrol missions and picking up the materials for tons of faction points. On Titan it's really amazing how fast it goes.
Woohoo. I got the Sturm hand-cannon. This thing destroys!
Sunshot and Sturm are my favourite weapons. Both exotic hand cannons. Sturm hits harder but Sunshot has the exploding headshot rounds. So good.

Believe it. I once even managed to trigger the Heroic, though I got stomped into dust. :lol
But there's very little fun to be had in solo'ing them, I agree. Hell, the rewards for even Heroic events have been very disappointing: all blue, all the time.
Rat King Questline question:
do I have to complete the crucible step with a fireteam of people who are ALSO on the quest? because the first two steps of the questline (patrols & public events) I did in a fireteam with someone who already has the gun and it worked just fine. but the crucible steps just wouldn't get ticked off. I did 3 crucible matches, won some, still at 0/2.

Run four Strikes and you should be right at 20.
Correct. My second Titan finished it today and was around 283 or 284 when he did. I might do a third Titan tomorrow and get another MIDAS.
I ended today at 286.
Rare mods from Banshee. Once you hit 280, you can trade in 3 blues for a legendary....and the Legendaries add 5 to your Power Level for the item.
Using this, you can claw your way higher.

I played and enjoyed destiny 1 but got into it too late and the story was incomprehensible to me. Does destiny 2 assume I know shit? Is it newbie friendly gameplay wise? Also how is the game with just pugging stuff? I never have time to play with friends

That's amazing. :lol Still like my salt bae-emote better, though. It just keeps on giving.Oh... My... Lawd.

Happy with my current look (LL is at 270 now tho).

The game is truly amazing. Only problem is the PS4 pro crashing and hopefully that is resolved soon.
Yea has been happening to me and my brother all day - weasel. It wasn't doing this before today and during the beta; wonder if it's clan related since I wasn't in a clan during the beta and the clans went live today.. It's really frustrating, getting kicked 3/4 of the way through something all day.

so....
i'm on nessus
i'm defending a zone for a mission
a glimmer event starts
i skip aside for a minute to defeat the first wave and destroy the drill
i go back to defend the last few seconds of my zone to finish the mission objective
i then go over to the next two extraction points
barely manage to trigger the heroic event in time
end up soloing it with my sunshot, arc soul and rocket launcher
down to the last few seconds
i get physics into a wall by the boss and lose valuable time
end up having 55 seconds left and i'm only 54 percent of the way to the glimmer capture
end up not capturing it because i die again
another guardian shows up literally as it's ending
he loots the chest and gets an exotic engram

I pretty much just did this
I was on Io, got like 5-6 shots in on the Heroic boss before he died and got an exotic engram from the chest :lol
I only feel a little bit bad.
I finished the story tonight and I really loved the campaign. A lot of cool moments, amazing looking levels, and beautiful music. I think more than anything though, I'm excited just how much more content I have to do after the story. I've put a ton of time into the game already with the Story and doing a lot of Public Events, but I've still have a huge list of things that I have yet to do. Bungie did a great job with the post story content in the game, definitely a big step up over D1.
Same thing for me. I'm loving this game so much, but I just wish it would stop crashing for me. It's strange though, I find it crashes a lot in the EDZ, but almost never everywhere else.

Replaying the campaign solo and being able to take my time and explore is great.

All those taken blights that you can investigate are fascinating. We're being watched, and the taken are sending whispers back to an ascendant realm. Definitely on the "Taken Queen" train that some people were theorizing in here earlier. I could totally be down for that being next year's Comet expansion.
