Just finished the nightfall, what blast. I like the timing system and the constant switching of burns, makes things a lot more tactical and interesting.

 

[Kalamoj]

Is nightfall soloable?

Of course

Why do my guns always feel like they do jack shit in the crucible.

 

[MotionBlue]

Strongly debating to level my Hunter, seems like Warlock is in excess.

 

[plantedunicorn]

I never liked Crucible in Destiny 1 and I still dislike it here but why on Earth would Bungie change it to 4 v 4 then never resize the map? Some of these maps are way to big for just 8 people.

Also I'm trying to complete the call to arms milestone, how long is it?

 

[Stackboy]

Loved Hard Light in D1, hope to get my hands on it soon in D2.

Is there any way to track class population? The one that pops up on Google doesn't seem super reliable.

I thought the Nightfall timer was pretty intense when first trying it, but I could understand why they added and the player habits it's meant to eliminate. First time round I think we did it with a few seconds left, after about three or four failures.

Then I ran it again last night with two friends who hadn't done it yet. First attempt we cleared it with 4:20 on the clock. Definitely something that rewards practice and knowledge of the strikes. I'm enjoying that mechanic to be fair.

Ended the weekend with about 48 hours of play time, sitting at 277. Did my milestones FAR too early.

Tempted to make another Hunter so I can just transfer gear back and forth to level up more. Thing is though, with more milestones and activities coming round he corner, I'm wondering if it's worth it.

Dont bother making a new character of the same class, just enjoy the game. You know the gear / levels will be made redundant at some point so why grind through the same shit with the same character? Fuck that.

Yeah that's what I'm think. Come the next reset, I'll be able to push into mid-280's anyway.

Ya, I never like the MP destiny.

Just want the damn achievement lol.

With how loot is currently working I don't think I'll start my alts until D2 is released on PC

Wow love that 2nd guy's Helmet

 

[Cornbread78]

IIRC there was only a Legendary Gun for pre-orders (Coldheart). If you got the Collector's Edition or Limited Edition there's a Legendary Sword. No Exotics as far as I know.

Yeah, I preordered the digital deluxe edition.... hopefully Woofy is right.

If it just me or is crucible searching really slow?

Not just you. Maybe a matchmaking bug or everyone just thinks the pvp changes suck lol

So I'm stuck at 269 and all my 265 gear is saying my base power is too low to infuse with other gear. I've already turned in my milestone quests. They unfortunately got me from 265 to 269 and no higher. What's the best way to level up? I still have nightfall I need to do later.

 

[Landford]

At what power level I can try s nightfall? And there isnt matchmaking for it? Just have to find someone through invite?

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Does the clan XP powerful gear engram roll when the milestone was completed or when you go talk to Hawthorne?

 

[psynergylover]

UGH!!!! Why won't Destiny give me the Tone Patrol!!!!

 

[darthbob]

Do power weapon reload booster mods affect the swap time at all?

I've got a Borealis on my acct but I'm not home to test it out

You like the Dragonfly, huh?

 

[eizarus]

My Warlock so far:

It's a work in progress

 

[Trakan]

I may have to run another warlock at this rate, look at this mug.

At 269 now, about to do the MIDA quest..Wondering if i just need to say fuck it and make another warlock. ergh.

You can't make multiple characters of the same class to boost progression anymore.

[TheMan]

are there shortcuts for leveling extra characters?

 

[Alucrid]

1-20? not really

in terms of power? yeah. throw your max power weapons on to your new character at 20

 

[Hzoltan69]

Does anybody want to do the Sturm strike?

 

[HMD]

Two questions:

Can you replay nightfalls for rewards?

I'm stuck at 282 light I still have to finish the 5 scout rifle MIDA quest step and the rat gun quest, I have exhausted everything and Exotic engrams seem to give me stuff below my light level, what can I do at this point?

 

[Dynasty8]

Hoping someone knows the answer. Is there a cap to how many legendary shards you can hold?

 

[Trakan]

Are timers in Nightfalls here to stay?

Because if so this was the last one I did.

We made it on our 3rd attempt, but it was not fun. At all.

It's the most fun I've had with a nightfall in years. It requires constant teamwork and communication. You're required to prioritize specific elements and make sure each person on your team is rocking a balanced loadout.

 

[darkwing]

I can't go past Sweet Business as my exotic weapon. No matter what else I get, I keep going back to it.

me too, it eats bullets like crazy but it's a gatling gun

 

[TheMan]

1-20? not really

damn, i'd pay a few bucks for a potion like what we got with TTK

 

[Robdraggoo]

Anyone want to do a nf? ll 266 and i have not done it yet

 

[X-Frame]

What do you guys recommend for the Rat King Nightfall when there are 3 Titans. Are particular subclasses we should use?

We tried to burn the boss down with full Sunbreaker supers and full Striker supers at once but at best were only able to get his health down to 33% before we ran out and he moved away. I assume we need to kill him first before he ever moves?

 

[Smokey]

nvm

 

[jacobs34]

I think they know that people are creating new characters right now simply to level up faster, and they want to keep that process as difficult as possible. I just started a second character myself, and I'm not sure if I want to rush through the story again just so I can get a little more light.

 

[Landford]

So many random disconnects :/ sorry Talos_AI haha Come on Bungie

Another character. You will be able to do all the milestones once again.

 

[J-Skee]

Hitting 265 is not that difficult actually. Lost sectors, PE, adventures, strikes, crucible and basically every activity in the game will drop blues that scale with your max ll and they softcap at 265

The real struggle is to level up after hitting 265-270

I've been trying to avoid anything that has to do with milestones before hitting 265. Don't know how realistic I can keep that up without doing anything but public events.

 

[xuchu]

Again anyone else wanna do rat king quest from start? Public events, crucible, then NF.

Did the NF with 8 mins to spare with others but didn't know you had to do the public events and crucible first. Thought it was any order doh.

Again for people struggling coordinate roaming super to stunlock the boss:

bright engrams you can use immediately. You want to be a high enough LL(270 or so I believe) when you do your milestone, since they reset on tuesdays.

I've been using this guide:

http://imgur.com/a/h3uPL

Yup knew I should have read a guide before going too far. Definitely saving all engrams now and putting off exotic quests till I hit the cap. I have a power 83 exotic already just cuz I couldn't resist opening it when I shouldn't have.

Also got fucked a bit by turning in tokens to the NPCs in each area. Definitely sucks that the "best" way to play is to not open any of your shit early since it changes scale with your level. They could have made the engrams have "levels" as well, by then people in the know would have been disappointed in engrams meaning nothing until they can reach a certain level

 

[Olengie]

Nightfall was pretty fun. We even played it a few times afterwards. Pretty easy once you got it figured out.

Exodus Crash is a ridiculously bad strike. I've done 5/6 of them and that one is by far the worst. The stupid get the lights and the boss are so bad.

When we did it, same thing happened. Coordinated arc supers during arc burn and burned him immediately down to 20-30% then one of our fireteam used a wardcliff coil to burn the rest while he was walking away.

Something strange happens when you burn him quickly at the start. He jumps up then immediately jumps down again w/o needing to dunk that orb. You essentially skip a phase.
