Servers goin buckwild.

 

[GringoSuave89]

How long do the raids take?

There are so many factors involved, it's hard to give a timeframe. Especially a new one that no one knows how to complete yet.

 

[LEITZSABER]

Same

Yeah just got disconnected on Xbox.

My first exotic engram decrypted to the exotic hand cannon I picked during campaign. I was frustrated but also very slightly okay with it because at least I could go back to using it for awhile before the power level grind made it obsolete it again. If I have one significant complaint about Destiny 2, it's that they still haven't fixed the way that your favorite legendaries/exotics become obsolete immediately until you grind all the way to the top 10% power/light level. The fact that legendary shards are not easy to get at that point in the game seriously disencentivizes you from keeping your favorite gear with you through the grind. I found myself thinking "oh boy, that gun will be really fun to use in a week when I get to 270 and it becomes worthwhile to upgrade it," which is a real bummer.'

Edit: Changing the currency cost so that it's proportional to the level you're upgrading the gear to would be a good potential fix for this, so that lower power level players wouldn't need to be shelling out the same legendary shard cost as power level 280 players.

If you're infusing using legendary gear, infusing only costs 1 shard. It's only if you use rares to bring up your favourite gear that things get expensive. Otherwise it's not a hassle to keep your gear relevant at all

Are the Destiny servers down for anybody else in Europe?

I've been getting the Contacting Destiny Servers all day here in New York, so it may be worldwide problems due to player counts. 1.2 million concurrent players reported -- that is a looooot.

What's the recommended Power level for beating the Nightfall with 5 minutes to spare?

 

[Tendo]

I know I'll have to start fresh but if I get d2 on ps4 will it interfere with how clans work when I also want to play on PC?

 

[eizarus]

Yep. Destiny is at capacity? Well joy. The one time I get to play any meaningful amount of time.

I get the contacting servers thing occasionally but other than that they seem fine (UK here)

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Well.....

That depends are you going in blind? A no spoiler run into a raid is one of the best experiences you can have in gaming.

It can take a few hours over a few nights to figure it all out.

Depends if it's the fireteam's first time or not.

First time through of King's Fall took me 14 hours. When it's streamlined, about 90 minutes.

Cool. It doesn't have to be all in one go, right? You can save and come back later?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

What's the recommended Power level for beating the Nightfall with 5 minutes to spare?

We had two people at 268 and 270 and one at 238 and we got done with 2 mins left. We prob could have got it if we did it again.

Do you get anything special for doing all the challenges for the nightfall?

Correct progress is saved for the week but resets on Tuesday

 

[Niceguydan8]

It's very easy compared to MMO's. Just takes some time playing to get used to. Also, ask any questions that confuse you. The community here is great.

Eh, I dunno. At least in terms of FFXIV, I feel like the "end game" upgrade stuff is much easier to explain than 2.5 pages worth of text.

 

[Liamc723]

What's the recommended Power level for beating the Nightfall with 5 minutes to spare?

I managed to do it with two other people at levels 265-270.

 

[Frillen]

Anyone 260+ up for the Nightfall? PSN: SuperYlvis

 

[B00TE]

Having a lot of fun with my hunter now! (When my net and the servers aren't breaking in tandem)

Do heroic public events show up as heroic on the map?

Cheers guys, just got find people to do it with now.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

They're just normal public events but you make them heroic by doing certain things.

 

[Strider]

Do heroic public events show up as heroic on the map?

No you trigger them yourself by performing certain things during a public event.

[Megasoum]

You should be able to return to orbit and then when you choosing the mission you will need to choose restart? That's how it worked in the first game.

Ah sweet I returned to orbit and when I came back down it loaded me directly at a checkpoint right before that jump

 

[JetBlackPanda]

People do not understand this and it really does make me wonder if bungie did it so people can stop asking for raid matchmaking.

 

[Bsigg12]

It's super frustrating when you're trying to get the heroic to start and someone goes and kills a boss or does something to end the event.

 

[GodParticle]

I see comments that the public areas are greatly improved, but I don't really see what's different

 

[Steve.1981]

Just finished an Adventure on Nessus,

Spoiler

"saving" Fallen prisoners from the Vex for Failsafe

and hit level 20. Thought I'd head back to the Farm, and the game booted me. Tried to log back in and was met with the message, "One moment please. Destiny 2 is currently at capacity..."

That's new...

Guess the game's quite popular then!

 

[Bold One]

Thinking back the last 3 years and about the Destiny community. It hurts to say but I think Streamers really hurt this game. There have been some positive streamers and Guardiancon is an amazing thing. BUt streamers strangle any surprise in the game and direct the meta in negative ways.

Controversial opinion maybe?

 

[Trouble]

At least the servers waited until a few minutes after I finished the last story before booting me and not letting me back in.

 

[Grisby]

Heck of a lot of "Contacting Destiny 2 servers" today. Going into what I think is the final mission and I'm at a black screen with it replaying over and over.

 

[Marvel]

I can't sign in now lol, shouldn't have left my fireteam.

The first weekend for the game is really pushing the servers to their limits.

 

[Liamc723]

I did all of Cayde's treasure maps and I got a couple of things such as Hunter of the Heart, a Letter Fragment, and a Charred Celery.

Do we know if these things are useful yet?

 

[norm9]

Is there a difference between just showing up to a public event and triggering one by rallying the flag?

Does either of those things make a difference in whether other people join you in the events? Because I seem to only get solo by myself events when I rally the flag, versus when I run to a location and an event starts, there is generally a few other people there or end up showing up. Doing these events by myself I usually fail them.

 

[Gragen]

Definitely, I'd guess there is probably more people total playing right now than there has been at any given time since launch.

 

[Marvel]

And I'm back in, phew. Started to sweat bullets lol

We were all 271 and had 7 min left. Also out first time.

Rallying the flag charges your super.

Strangle surprise? if you don't want to be spoiled don't watch the streams. Directing the meta in a negative way how so. By finding the most effective tactic available and spreading the information to ensure that everyone is on an even field information wise.

I'm doing my second run (on my Warlock) and at the

Spoiler

mission when you're on the Almighty and you've got the blindingly bright sun to your right.

Man, what a mission. So, so good.

Spoiler

Especially the part where you have to make it through while trying not to get melted by the sun

Yep, awesome part.

Also, general question, is Tess Everis played by the woman who does Chloe from Uncharted?

Yep! Claudia Black.

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

What's everyone's favorite campaign mission? Mine's the second mission on titan. The atmosphere and art direction was so good.

 

[_Legacy_]

Start doing the blue quests at each planet. EDZ, Nessus, and Titan each have one.

Tip: Nessus exotic quest requires you to decrypt 5 legendaries and 1 exotic, EDZ has you dismantle 5 rare/legendary scout rifles, and titan has you complete a nightfall with at least 5 min remaining

Thanks, I'll look out for that.

 

[Marvel]

Just buy it console man!

 

[Strangelove77]

What's the fastest way to level up? I started with a new character but I'm leveling up really slowly. I'm level 8 but I'm supppsed to be 11 to play the first mission on Io.

Oooooh that's where I recognise the voice from. She always seemed familiar.

Ahhh shit I shouldn’t have dismantled my dupe Coldheart!

I did it in spite though. Felt good at the time.

Apparently you can spot a Wolf looking over the Farm. Is Saladin keeping an eye on us?
