Destiny 2 |OT| Here We Go Again

I've been doing strikes from 180-230.

I haven't even bothered to finish the campaign (better than the first but the writing LOL).

Destiny 2 has the same appeal to me as Destiny 1, nice art, unrivaled gunplay, but I hate every other thing about how it works.

My biggest disappointment is the warlock "shit a buff on the floor" ability. It's so lame.

Your going to need to finish the campaign if you want to progress on in any significant way.
 
is there a reason why they didnt put volume levels individually for music, gfx and voice? bungie sometimes look like a bunch of scrubs or im missing the options in the menu because i only see master volume and muting the music
 
So, correct me if I'm wrong, but my best bet to increase my power level (I'm at like, ~254) is to just spam PE for blues, until I hit 260, and then do milestones, correct?
 
This has got to have the most cumbersome clan system of all time. I had to download an app to leave my old clsn, which I couldn't do without making someone else a member, who didn't appear in game or in the app so it was impossible unless I did it through the website. Then to get invited, for some reason there was no invite button for my profile on the app or website and unless I got online in the game, would also be impossible to invite me. What the hell, man.

historically their music lead Marty O Donnell was against any sort of in game mix controls and only wanted his designed mix for the game.

Almost immediately after he left they added the separate music toggle and game volume slider in a patch to Destiny 1. All apologies to Marty, but I just found that hilarious when it happened. Anyway, since most of this engine was written with Marty having say on how the sound engine was designed, I imagine it's probably not really built for super fine grained separation of the mix like that.
 
Lol wut I just got a gauntlet for my hunter with 10 power from an engram. I'm level 20. Gives me max Mobility I guess, but still.

Gear from bright engrams strarts at level 10 and are basically just cosmetics. You'll have to infuse them up if you want to use them... It's like that so you can't just buy bright engrams to increase your light level.
 
I do wish they would enable global text chat on console for those of us with keyboards connected. Before you say no one will use it, I'd estimate at least 70% of the PS4 Paragon players I group with have keyboards connected. When the game supports it the accessories will come. I have this permanently living on my coffee table, but any old USB keyboard would work.
 
I was hoping that the people who made the stuff I loved about Destiny were working on this sequel since 1.0, but they must have either left or be working on something else because the level design and combat encounter design and build syngery and art direction is even worse than Rise of Iron. The music is worse too, but less so than everything else. But if you love Halo plot and MMO quests yep this is the game for you.

I wish xbox took bluetooth keyboards :( afaik, I couldnt get that same keyboard to work on minecraft.

huh, I'm surprised it still doesn't. I thought for sure they would've added Bluetooth support by now.

That one there is synced to my gaming PC, my PS4, and my MacBook Air (for when I dock it). I love the versatility.
 
Just did the
tank
mission. It was a blast. Felt like a Halo level.

There was definitely a lot more Halo influence in D2's campaign compared to D1. Which is a great thing. The
mission when you're stumbling through the Last City after falling off the Tower
reminded me of ODST.
 
The more I think about it the more I dislike multiplayer. Destiny 2 is werid in that there are a ton of changes done to streamline the game and appeal to the most people it can, but then there are almost the same amount of changes which makes the game have a huge barrier to entry.
 
Anyone else find an empty cache? Are these bugged right now or is it just random luck?
My first two were empty. Then I noticed it can take a couple of seconds for the loot to a actually appear and I had probably just walked away from the chest before it had popped. All the ones after worked fine when I stood still for a moment. Didn't get anything particularly good though.
 
So do I save exotic drops or just open immediately? Only 233 light

If they are as engrams in your inventory just go and decrypt them. They are rolled as they drop.

If vendor like Cayde is holding it for you then you can let him keep it and engram will scale.
 
I'll ask this again hopefully get some feedback?


I've been balls deep playing and haven't looked. Is there slow down on the major public events on all systems? PS4/pro like there is in Xbox one S? Like massive single digit frame rates when all hell is breaking loose while guarding the glimmer. Or is this a Xbox only issue and hopefully the. One X also fixes this.

Thoughts? Thanks
 
How are we even supposed to get to 260 if we can't redeem the engrams?
260 is the cap for blue weapons/armor. So just get to 259 by exclusively using blue weapons/armor. Then when you are at 259, cash in everything you have to vendors. I had saved up so much that I went from 259 to 266 in 15 minutes, thus getting to 265+ which is your goal.
