Bungie has never put volume mixing settings in any of their games. I hate it.

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.

thanks for the explanation, i almost boot up d1 because i thought my memory was going to shit. i hope they implement it later on, is not that i dislike the music but i like to have it at least on 85% on all games

Don't worry too much about it. Farming tokens isn't that hard and time consuming. From now on though wait till you are 259+ before cashing them in.

yeah, will do that. thanks for the tip

Anyone want to team up for Nightfall? we're already two and need another. Add me on PSN: KeRaSh

Quoting for new page.

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.

So what's the fastest way to farm blues without taking a week waiting for random drops?

 

[Strider]

I don't like very many scout rifles but I really love this one:

I'm just a huge fan of Suros weapons in general... The aesthetics and audio feedback from Suros guns is awesome. Gun comes with the sleek SLO-10 sight + flared magwell and DragonFly. I only wish that it had a slightly faster firerate... It does hit really hard though.

 

[blame space]

Yay

HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THIS??

got my sunshot to 250. they're going to nerf this thing I just know it. it's so fun.

 

[GametimeUK]

Need 1 more for the nightfall. Any takers? Ps4

 

[R0ckman]

Man a lot of these exotics do NOT look good.

 

[Frillen]

Public Events and Lost Sectors. Strikes take a bit longer. Just play the game and it should take 6 - 10 hours to get from 200 to 259.

 

[xviper]

how rare is the Exotic engram drop from Heroic events ? i have done over 10 and still haven't gotten one

 

[shingi70]

Would it be cheap to run, a new character quickly just to get a sunshot.

 

[Rizzi]

Well that's the story beaten. Now to begin the grind.

Check out the perks. I'm pretty sure that's one of the guns that pairs with another. Something like precision kills with it reload its companion, IIRC.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

True. They look GREAT.

 

[TsuWave]

a crap hand cannon that looks cool

How'd you get it? Gunsmif?

Isn't that pdx-45 from D1?

 

[Strider]

Yep.

Isn't that pdx-45 from D1?

iirc pdx 45 was a pulse rifle. They may look the same though and I wouldn't know it because as I never used pdx-45... The only scout and pulse rifles I used in D1 were basically hung jury and Bad Juju

 

[SkylineRKR]

So should I just shard Exotics that are way below my power level or is it not worth it to do so?

 

[KeRaSh]

Haha, I don't think we'll be able to finish the Nightfall. 12 minute time cap that gets extended in increments of 2-7 secs? The elements change so often you can't even keep up with changing weapons. What is this fuckery? I'd rather have Trickle back...

 

[Ivory Samoan]

I think they are > D1 personally.

 

[CitizenCope]

Is there a way to find out if a gun is a semi auto or not without trying it out?
I try these guns out, don't like them and "fuck which out of my 5 to 9 guns was I just using?".

 

[Kyne]

Where is the sunshot shining most? PvE? PvP?

 

[psynergylover]

if you like them you should at least infuse them.


thay being said I'm surprised Bungies doesn't have the exotic blueprints up and running.

 

[SkylineRKR]

I have gotten one so far, out of perhaps 10?

 

[Stone Vagabond]

Finished the campaign and thought it was weak. I think that part of the positive response is that Destiny 1 was such an unfinished mess on launch that anything would seem better in comparison.

Felt like the worlds you visited as the game went on had little to do with the actual plot. They look great, and some of the side-content is solid, but you touch base on them for a second and then it's off to the next zone.

Personally, the Cabal are the weakest enemies to me both in visual design and mechanically, so having them be the primary enemies of the last portion of the game turned it into a real slog. It's exacerbated by the fact that level design turns into a series of identical corridors and that you fight such a paltry numbers.

I get that my grievances aren't really directed at what Destiny actually is. This is one of those cases where the true Destiny begins after the credits roll.

 

[the210]

At what point do the strikes open up? I'm done with the campaign and other than having a strike challenge I haven't seen anything in game announcing the need to do a strike.

If they are way below your PL and don't see use for them any time soon then just shard them for currency. Also consider using high PL exotics to pump up legendaries for increasing your overall PL.

You can always print new ones from your Vault's Collections tab. They come as lvl 16, PL 205.

 

[Dalek]

I'm thinking the exact same thing

holy shit! i didn't know that! thanks!

 

[J-Skee]

Recommended power level for Strikes? I'm 219 & it's not going up at a decent rate at all. Just doing adventures & public adventures isn't paying off, but I want to hold off on other activities until I hit 260.

 

[blue_phazon]

PVE for sure. You get firefly on both precision and non-precision kills, making it super effective at clearing mobs

 

[Frillen]

Where do I leave a clan?

The grind from 200 to 260 is slow doing anything other than spamming public events. But spamming public events can get boring. Adventures and lost sectors are more fun but if you don’t have a strong fire team of three then they are much much slower than public events.

 

[Darryl M R]

Woah exotic engrams changes it possible drop every 5 minutes apparently?

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

hand cannons are always semi. side arms can be either semi or burst and i don't think there are any fully auto ones i may be wrong. everything else is semi. when it comes to rifles...if it's an auto rifle then it's fully auto. scout rifles are semi and maybe burst? i'm not 100% sure.

 

[Marvel]

YeahI'm not feeling it lol, gotta use it though it's mega high power lv

I've had multiple full auto sidearms already. Pretty fun to use

Infuse is cheap I saw. Only 1 shard and a few glimmer. I just infused them. I liked Graviton Lance and the gauntlets that buff your cap america super.

awesome. i haven't had one yet.

I've been doing adventures solo. Let the slow grind continue.

 

[SkylineRKR]

The grind to 260 is real indeed. At 230 at the mo and its going up by 1 level every so often. But honestly I should finish the campaign, lol. It opens up much more.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Is there a prison of elders type with this game?

 

[RumbleHumble]

Got the:

insurmountable skullfort

and suddenly striker is my go-to Titan class. Feels so good.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Why is this still at OT1?

That looks great.

 

[LEITZSABER]

Finish campaign
Get preorder Coldheart exotic
Get exotic engram from Zavala
Get duplicate Coldheart exotic

 

[Peroroncino]

Can you really get exotics from Cayde's Treasure Maps?

I can confirm that, my first cayde's treasure map yielded me an exotic engram.

 

[rrc1594]

When does first DLC form season pass come out?

 

[Frillen]

I'm surprised at how slow the OT is.
