Yeah, you can play with people on Strikes, Public Events, and Crucible.
I suggest you wait till you are 265+ to do the Weekly milestones.

The milestones reset weekly? That's good I accidentally did one or two before I read a leveling guide.

Have any milestones left? Those are always what got me up.
Here's a link to "The Road to Max Power Guide" that I believe Hawkian typed up. You'd be around step five.

Geez, that moment when you play soccer for like 30 mins at the farm.
Yes.
Awww yeah
Sunshot is better. The explosive rounds does a lot of splash damage.
I sent a request to Yea That's A Wipe (Justlnsayne) so if any admins see this could you look at it please, want to be in a clan before Tuesday reset. Also, my brother and his friend will be joining if that's cool. I wrote a message in the clan thread but didn't receive an answer.
I really don't get why people are struggling with increasing their power level, all I have done is literally just play the content that was available to me as soon as it was unlocked and I'm power level 279.
You guys are checking your legendaries for the mods right? Make sure you don't delete any that have a purple mod installed, save those and keep infusing them.

There is no reason to keep soloing.
Yes. Bungie has never been good with balancing subclasses with exotics. You'd think they would give exotics multiple uses per skilltree.

Unless you don't think you're going to hit 265+ before tomorrow, surely?
Sharpshooter enables crit dmg, so it's basically required unless I'm remembering the new talent wrong. I think Nighthawk is balls outside of special stuff like the NF this week. Losing all of that orb generation just isn't worth it, IMO.

That's great. I don't feel like doing stupid two character grind. Destiny 2 is really good with making you feel like you are getting constant good stuff. Kudos to bungie for that. Destiny 1 was absolutely terrible for that.

Just do what you want, man. Milestones reset anyway.
Did you receive the quest before trading your gear over? That's all I can think of what might have happened.
It would be neat if they modified Six-shooter to say "doubles number of Golden Gun rounds" and then apply it's perk after Celestial Nighthawk's.

God, you need a tome to understand everything you're supposed to do in this game.
I just beat the single player campaign for the first time, then did my first strike. Right now I'm at something like 210ish power.
What's the gameplan for me? What sequence of events should I do next to prepare myself for the Raid? Can anyone help?
(also how do you get back to the farm or whatever it's called after the campaign ends?)

Using NF to determine raid base level is a inaccurate. I did the exact same thing when ROI came out with 340 NF, and I thought raid would be 360 that "who would even be able to play the raid if it's higher since no one is at that Light Level?". Then raid came out at 370 recommended LL and NF was raised to 360LL that same day. First area was 360LL, Vosik was 370LL, and rest of the raid was 380LL.
This is what's going to happen this time as well. Getting to 260 Power Level is extremely easy, even blue gear gets you there, and vendor gear takes you to 265. Raid is going to be above these two easily. The other thing to keep in mind is that the Power Level cap is at 350, which is where the prestige version will be around, you won't get a normal mode raid at 260-270 when the prestige version is near 350 that's a gap of almost 100 power level.
+1
PVP question: what do you recommend for a crucible sniper that is either rare or uncommon? I'm a terrible sniper but a good support player so is there a weapon out there that might help me get better?

Legendary Shards will be Xur's currency which you can get by dismantling legendaries and exotics
Christ, reading this thread is a bit overwhelming. Didn't play Destiny and I'm actually loving Destiny 2 - Bungie have always been my guys but Destiny just wasn't what I needed at the time.
It's daunting how much time and effort people are putting into things that don't really make a lot of sense to me. I'm level 8, plodding through story, side missions and PVP, but a lot of the jargon here is lost on me. Seems like less than a week in most people have completely maxed out what the game is offering, and done so with multiple characters (which is crackers).
Had no idea which class to go for so went Hunter, and it seems like they have the worst looking gear out of all three classes.

If you want to be super efficient;
- Public Events and Adventures till 265 ish. World NPC's (Devrim, Sloane et al) will give Legendary engrams up to 265 at first.
- Keep an eye on Legendaries with mods on. Infuse the ones with +5 mods to punch a little higher.
- Run the Milestones that reward "Powerful Gear" once you're at 270 ish.
Or...
Do whatever you want in whatever order; everything should be rewarding going forward.
Finished the Nightfall yesterday night. I thought I would have hated the timer, but I honestly thought it was an amazing addition, since it kept us pushing and optimizing and gave a general sense of gung-ho gotta go.
Took my team (warlock 265, 2x hunters 242) 5 tries, beat the boss with barely 30 seconds to spare. Great, great fun.
Prism is something that really enforces group play since it encourages communication and planning, further enhancing this week's Nightfall's very planned and optimized approach to beating it. I think Prism would just piss me off if the timer wasn't there.
Also, holy shit Dawnblade shits out a stupendous amount of damage with Solar burn. I blew up the tank with one super use and a solar grenade.

Go to Earth and there on the map is the farm. You can quicktravel to it.
On what to do next: Just do whatever you want and enjoy the game. IMO it's the best way to play the game. You get loot anyways. My fireteam didn't wait with anything and we all went to high 260 levels eventually. Keep all exotic items you don't use in your vault. You might want to use them later and you can always upgrade them to your level for some mats and glimmer.

Thanks! I have no idea what infusing is. Should I not be automatically scrapping weaker guns right away?
Hunter gear starts looking way better at 20, every classes gear before that looks like garbo.

It doesnt have matchmaking. has to be a pre-assembled fire team
There is no matchmaking yet with the Nightfall. That'll come later. Right now, you need to enter with people in your fireteam, or you'll go in, solo.
Nightfall matchmaking isn't live yet. If you go into a Nightfall alone, nobody will spawn in. Vanguard strikes will matchmake you with other people though.

i'm at 234 and have just been doing whatever the hell i feel like. i've already redeemed quite a load of tokens. the only "powerful engram" milestone i have is that one for the crucible.
what do i do? i've just been running about doing adventures and public events. i don't know what to do to trigger heroic but i have done quite a few of them. have looted rare chests and done some lost sectors.
should i just hoard tokens now and focus on getting blue engrams? i'm completely lost at what to do. i have unlocked patrols and strikes. when should i do strikes? i want to be able to do the nightfall and raids.

Strikes, public events, adventures, pvp, and tokens until 265 then weeklies and quests.
PVP is slow though, but still nets rewards.

Just keep getting gear. Even blues should be able to upgrade you at this point.

Don't focus or worry about it too much. I haven't saved a single token from having got it and am 250 already. I have all legendaries and infuse the gear I like because I like it. The grind may be longer in the end but I'll enjoy the game regardless for so long as I'm doing what I feel like and want to do at that time. You can do strikes now, you can drop tokens now, you can do patrols, public events. Whatever.
Min-maxing your progression is all well and good as long as it doesn't get in the way of your enjoyment and make you focus more on "doing it right" than doing what's fun.
Edit: As for this "don't do weeklies until 265+" that's being repeated. It's reset tomorrow. Do them if you don't feel you're going to hit 265+ by then.
