I tried soloing it (obviously couldn't) but I don't see how a random team with a similar light level wouldn't be able to tackle it.

Have people been saying to hold on to tokens as it gradually gets harder to level the factions with them, or just so that people have a large cache to hand in at 260+?
The à¹ÛBronx

Thanks for the responses guys. So it doesn't get harder to level (like factions did in D1) with tokens as you gain rewards from them? That would have been the only thing that put me off. I really enjoy the patrol loops so getting more isn't an issue for the sake of running back and getting something at the end of each shift.

Have people been doing that quest where you have to do the nightfall with 5 minutes left over? Is it doable right now?

Looking to do the nightfall, where is the best place to find people? Sitting at 262 light.

Yeah, I'm 271
It's really not complicated. At your power level you can do any activity you want. Better gear will drop. So just do whatever is the most fun to you. The gear will follow asap

Hey, I didn't know you played Destiny! I just bought D2, will start playing tomorrow. I think you've already added me on CFN for Street Fighter V but add me on PSN too so we can get some good ol' PvE in too!Finished the campaign. Real improvement from D1.

Anyone wanting to do Nightfall, add me on psn: SHEMHAZAI-X300. Gear level 267/268 depending on load out.
Yea it's plenty doable. It took us 2 tries but the second time we did it with 8 minutes left on the clock.
Just need to come properly equipped with all damage types so someone is always dealing the burn damage throughout the strike... Then make sure to save supers toward the end so u can all pop them as soon as you get to the last step to burst down the boss quickly.
Fam, what? That sounds awesome. At what point do we start seeing exotic drops?

Yep, felt the same. Was the only reason I'd have been concerned. You get them in abundance with any time in patrol. Really loving this loop compared to D1.

Feel free to invite me to a nightfall as well. 262 light.

When I hit 20, should I dump all my tokens and gathered items into vendors to get engrams right away or is it better to do this when I am at higher levels?
Nothing crazy about it. It's hard but it's the first week.
Once more people are around 300, matchmaking would be just fine. (It likely already is, it's being done without mics already.)
They have it somewhere even if it isn't available right now; you could usually find it on a Bungie.net during D1! But it'll probably take a few weeks for them to update their API's and stuff.
Will do!

Just to say that I've always liked www.destinystatus.com as gives more stats, but also a time without tower and orbit (more or an 'active' time). More choice!
Edit: That said, active time seems bugged at the moment lol but still a nice site, and has the total time.

All legendary items Inc engrave are stuck at 266 exactly the same as my blues.
My light level is 375 thanks to some exotics I got I got which I used to infuse my legendary gear.
I can't move forward now I'm literally fucked.
Farmed every possible activity and everything i get is 366.
Ideas?

Also anyone else having clan issues? It says "3 members" I'm currently looking at 5 online though.
I've checked the website and no one is set to beginner, everyone is a member.

Assuming it is teething issues.

Those are one use and if you replace one on your ship with new then old one is just deleted!
Something to keep in mind.
Saw a tip on Reddit about the Nightfall/Rat Kings Crew.
Sync up your supers and maybe heavies with your fireteam. Make sure you are all using the same element. When you reach the lift and get to the top, only shoot the turrets but not the boss. When your element comes around, kill the boss. Saw a clip and they did it in 10 seconds. Nuts.

I didn't know that so thanks!

Got my Jade Rabbit one and never letting go of it.
It's the weapon ornament for the Vigilance Wing pulse rifle. Gives it a dilapidated look rather than being shiny. Funny story, my first bright engram gave me the skin then a half hour later my first exotic engram gave me the Wing.
OK, I've had time to pause and reflect on the three L's of Levelling, Loot and Light levels and I think they've really cracked it in this game compared to D1.
It's become clearer that the game is just meant to be played with as little farming as possible. Exotics are not the be-all and end-all they once were, they drop slightly more often from regular play - crucible playlists, strike playlists and heroic public events; I've had a couple from each. The overall progression is focused on just playing fun content and you will get loot rather than the gated Nightfall = Exotic dogma of D1. D2's mantra is don't farm, just play.
This natural progression will get you from the level 20 fresh out of the story to a bad ass level 20 at about 260-ish light level. The process is designed so you'll be operating through a mix of rares, legendaries and the odd exotic pushing you a little further each time - the levels of each converge to a point around the 260 range.
Then, when you want to get more powerful into the 270 range; hit up the things that give you 'powerful loot' this isn't always a guaranteed Exotic; it's better - it's more useful; it'll give you a powered up legendary to boost you that little bit higher. The milestones you get each week will point you in the direction of whatever will give you powerful loot and you should go for those - it's a different mindset than D1 farming. D2's focus is again, play our content and good things will happen.
Then, once you hit 280 the modification system unlocks and you realise this is the glimmer sink in the game, this is how you customise your legendary loadaouts with subclass specific boosts or general ability buffs, or re-spec the energy burn on your energy weapons.
On top of all that we get the best parts of D1 - the raid weapons to get, Exotics to collect (for fun, not necessity!) on top of a way smoother levelling system and a much more player friendly set of endgame loops.
As I said at the start, I think they've nailed this.

My roster list will not load in game and it keeps saying I have 1 or 2 members when there are 3.

Its an Exotic Ornament to Vigilance Wing.
Yeah, its a shame. I feel like it would be more rewarding if after you equip it, it stays as a permanent option. That way you can "collect" them for your favorite ships and switch between them at will.

Holy crap. Just got the Tractor Cannon exotic and Atlantis Wash (gold and white) shader from a Legendary Engram.
Seems Rahool learned to respect guardians a bit more now he's back in the tower.
