Destiny 2 |OT| Here We Go Again

got to 273 and I think I'm ok with it, not going to grind further. after the raid comes out everyone will jump up significantly.

Just waiting for reset now.
 
My Titan is coming on pretty nicely. Could do with better bottoms but beggars can't be choosers and Devrim is the only soul kind enough to give me purple bottoms at the moment.

Pro tip for people doing the find dusk shards in the EDZ challenge. Use Nightstalker and keen scout. They will appear on your mini map when you go by this also includes chests.
 
Does the destiny gaf discord have a Xbox looking for group? I tried adding the role but couldn't see it - do I have to remove my PS4 role to seen it?

I hope I haven't made a mistake in switching consoles for the sequel - it seems PS4 gaf is really active
 
Fuck. Can't find any new armor with legendary mods from vendors.

They won't sell modded versions the 'powerful loot' reward activities will get you them. It's also possible to get a lucky mod (on its own) drop as an additional reward from a bright engram but it's super rare.
 
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.
We killed the boss within the first 30 seconds of seeing him. We were syncing supers throughout the nightfall. Had 7 and a half min to spare. Coordination is key.

Is that a female titan? If so, it continues to terrify me that they've changed female titans this much. I'm waiting on the PC version, but I've played female titan ever since the PS4 Alpha test in Destiny 1. Gave up after house of wolves, but it was still enough time spent in the game that my titan's slim build and sassy menu pose mean a lot to me, and it's only seeing how beefcake the female titans of D2 look that have made me realize how attached I was to my D1 character.

I'm wondering if most of this beefcake look is down to the dumb World of Warcraft shoulder armour Titans have in D2 and the bland menu pose. Hopefully there's some Destiny 1 style shoulder armour tucked away somewhere, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for a return to the awesome menu pose of the first game. If neither happen... I'm rolling Warlock in D2.
 
Hey DGAF, have a general progression question.

Should I be playing all of the adventures as I progress the story, or do those later? I've been going through the main story beats, and just unlocked
Io
. Other posts I've seen suggest getting through the story as quickly as possible, but I feel like I would be too overpowered if I wait for adventures later (as they have recommended light levels).

Any suggestions?
 
So random question, is decoding engrams a level 20 thing? I'm at 15 and haven't seen a single one let alone a purple drop.
 
Just want to shout out fellow Dgaf member devilpuncher(PSN ID) played with this dude last night only to find out he lives in Florida! Hope he and the rest of any D GAF members in Florida stay safe.
 
Do you have to be in a fireteam to get the Exodus Crash strike? I've done 12 rounds in the playlist now I think (all as solo) and I've only seen 3 different strikes.
 
Just hit Io and this is my first playthrough. Anyone care to help me finish the story, would be appreciated. PSN: Netguy503. Please no blank friend requests. Thank you. Have a mic as well. Would love someone to show me how to farm the Nessus glitch as well before it's patched. Thanks all..

I got a legendary helmet with a purple mod from a vendor.
 
You have to set a role to be able to se channels.

milestones reset weekly. That’s why people having a hard time reaching above 265 need not worry.
The weekly milestones (Nightfall, Crucible, Flashpoints) reset every Tuesday.
Thanks bros.
I love the alternate look for that exotic too. Both versions look amazing:
Man, that is a good alt look.
Yeah i got this a few days ago and im terrorizing pvp with it, looks good for Osiris too
Yep, it's really helping me pull off kills.
 
276 and I think Raid ready. Curious to see what most groups are looking for to start out. Would love to go in with a GAF group wens.
 
What is the definition of a powerful Fallen and where is the best place to kill 10 of them on Nessus (Exotic Quest)?

A bit late, but if you can get the Fallen glimmer extraction event, all the orange bar vandals and captains during that will count. Same with the orange bar servitors during the ether resupply event.
 
How long did it take you to get there roughly?

About a day to finish the story, the next day to about 240, then another day to about 260 and today to go to 280. I messed up though and accidentally nuked a few items that would have got me there quicker because I hate pulse rifles and screwed myself by ditching one. I could have used the exotic pulse to boost its level so I could equip my Mida in the primary slot and unlock modifications earlier, then swap weapons back using stored exotics from the collection tab.

You can do it quicker for sure, or should I say - more optimally.
 
Why do you think so? I'm honestly open - I WANT - to have my opinion about them improved, haha. Maybe you can stop me from being so hard on them...

They're a lot better designed for one. No more running through1/2 - 2/3 of a strike that you've run through in patrol and story mode; most of these are strike only zones, making them unique. They also have some mini raid like mechanics like bringing cores to a spot and protecting your teammate, avoiding moving lasers, mini jump puzzles, etc.. They're more engaging - no more running past 90% of strikes to the end boss and beat them in under 5 minutes, now you actually have to complete the little steps along the way. End bosses seem a bit better, although still a bit bullet spongey at least they incorporated things like phases, grabbing a core and taking smashing it into a spot, or standing in VoG like circles to disable the bosses shield, etc. Also, things like big battlefields where 2 factions are fighting against each other make them feel more life like. I have only played 4/6 strikes so far, but IMO they're a lot better done than pretty much any in D1; although there are a couple in D1 that would be close to these.
 
So does anyone else think Lost Sectors are just too easy? Nothing resets or changes if you die, so even if you're lower light level you can just beat everything by attrition. Even if they don't add no respawn zones to them, I'd at least like something akin to a challenge in them. Something as simple as a score/scoring for them could add a lot. I hope they do more for LS, cause they are still pretty cool with how big/unique the areas can be alongside the loot you can get. But currently they just feel like need a little bit more gameplay wise.

Yeah, overall it's the biggest disappointment for me as I thought there would be a lot more to them. On the other hand, I wasn't expecting much from Adventures and they turned out great.
 
Got to 281 on my first titan.
Created another titan and got to lvl 20 in 4 hrs doing heroic public events.
Transferred all my gear to my new titan using the Destiny app.
Completed the story and Zavala gave me a 292 exotic armpiece.
Now 282 with all the exotic quests and weekly milestones for powerful gear available.
Guesses on what my final power level will be?

You might be able to keep doing that and outlevel the raid gear.

What about the folks who, misguided in their thinking that they chose better classes, are playing as Warlocks and Titans?

if i created a new character and reached level 20 without finishing the story and transferred my gear from my first character(275) to the new, will the weekly milestones be available ?

Dude that looks amazing.
 
how did you reach 280+ ?? i'm level 275 and i'm struggling to increase it

Sacrificing exotics I don't want to infuse legendaries. My chest is 288, and those exotics gauntlets are 286, the sunshot is 287, the shotgun was a 283 crucible reward and everything else is 277 (272 + 5 legendary mod). Some of my other exotic weapons are above 280 but not as high as that sunshot.

Edit-
Sweet, sweet Sunshot.

Oh yes :-)

Oh yes :-)

How much of the game have you played? By that I mean, done all the patrols, strikes, adventures, etc as you want? Did you have to repeat anything too often to get to that level (saw your post on the previous page about farming).
 
Anyone wants to help me do the rat king's quest 5 minute night fall challenge? 278 Titan Sunbreaker with void scout rifle and arc grenade launcher. Only friends who are 278+ did it already and they don't want to do it anymore when I asked. PSN: XxCGSxX
 
Campaign complete - Now onto the good stuff! (Not to say the campaign wasn't also good :D) Managed to not get side tracked with anything else!

I've cleared all the maps of icons and completed all my assigned milestones. The only thing I would consider farming was the 2 hours of crucible playlist I had to clear last night to get the powerful loot reward milestone Shaxx sets you once you've done 2 matches of regular and competitive.

Everything else was jumping in to every public event I could as I was doing other stuff, and when I figured out how to make them heroic, always doing that. I have a emblem that tracks heroic events and it says I've done 32 - not counting the regular ones I was doing earlier.
