For those who did the poptarts thing right before launch - I finally got my sparrow and 2XP code boost, I had submitted receipts to Kellogs about 5 days before D2 launched and got them today morning about 11-12 days after initial submission.
Sparrow is redeemed immediately and seems to be across all your accounts, whereas 2XP needs to be redeemed on the bungie website and I think its tied to a specific account/platform. Going to save mine for PC, since I'm already light 282 on PS4 and don't really need XP boosts for my alts.
Mechanically I like all the PVP changes in D2, like giving everyone kinetic and energy weapon all the time is nice, it was stupid trying to hunt that down. Power weapon locations and announcements that its been picked up (and by who) is great.
Unfortunately I really just hate 4v4 and some of the maps are all corners and edges which makes swords and grenade launchers insanely OP it feels like. Super trickle is ok, I think it could go a tad bit faster especially the losing team should have it at double speed imo with 2-3 mins left in the game.
I saw Triplewreck's stream yesterday of him completing nightfall prestige, looks crazy hard with the timer starting at 7 mins and never going above 7:30, and the mobs hitting super hard. They managed to do it with 3 mins left though after 5-6 tries I think, but they were all 290+.

The first couple of NF modifiers are even classified. :s

The sweet business ornament you can buy for brightdust from the eververse makes it gold with a woodgrain grip.

Does anyone use snipers in PvE? I find swords and rocket launchers to be better in almost every circumstance.
I used to love sniping in this game.

3 was an execution for 2.
Reach also successfully converted most of the Halo 3 playerbase over.

Yea Sunshot feels like Fatebringer 2.0, I use it 90% of time while out doing daily activities. Fast reload, good impact, and that AoE explosion is so good, especially around explode-able barrels.
Some Clan mates and I beat Nightfall last night, on our 5th or 6th attempt. 2nd of the day yesterday though. A few notes from our run to people still trying:
-Light Level 270 seems to be pretty damn important. We tried earlier in the week at around 250-260 and everything was so much harder. I wouldn't go back in to a nightfall below 270 again. I think we had 1 270 guy and 2 of us were 276.
-Elemental Coverage - pretty self explanatory, but really important.
-Heavy should be Fusion rifle, IMO. You get a fair amount of ammo, and it does nuts damage when the burn is on for that element.
-Skip the parts you can skip, but don't try to over-skip enemies. Also in the dual tank room, take out the entire left side on the way up. It's way too hard/takes too long if you don't.
We beat the boss by all of us going Void subclass, taking out turrets, then unleashing Tether, Nova Bomb, and Titan shield shenanigans, and finishing him off with Void fusion rifles. The actual boss fight only took ~10 seconds with this method. We didn't make it with enough time to finish the Rat King quest, but we decided to try that on another Nightfall once we naturally gain some more power level. It's definitely a different experience than the old Nightfalls though, I kinda like it (now that we actually beat it).

Finally got my Mida back. No matter what it has always been my main since I got it in D1. I may try out other guns, but I always go back to Mida.
I think Crucible takes too long to find enough players but I prefer the 4v4 combat, it's more tactical. I liked 6v6 but it was sometimes a bit too manic.
Definitely agree about the maps, they could be better.
Mida is life. It was my favourite gun in D1, with vanilla Suros a close second.

Rocket launchers are a must.

Great for absolutely destroying mobs and does decent damage on bosses.

- Cabal, maybe lil' bit hive or taken sprinkled in one particular boss
- 6-7 bosses but not necessarily all separate fights.
- 5 with 6 chests in hard mode
- Argh, of course. I'm bringing my sword just for that.
- 270 at start scaling to 300 for final boss
- dunno
- Nessus. it's where we got the 'on the comms' quest which is looking like a raid exotic quest.
- 8 hours

Seriously, why should you use a shotgun when swords and fusion rifles exist?

Which one? I seemed to get melted by the pulse grenade in PvP and when I used it in PvE it seems really effective.

Race is going to be Vex (it's Leviathan and fits their naming scheme the most).The ๖ۜBronx;248581652 said:
I don't know about the rest because I've never raided Destiny before.
Edit : though everyone saying Cabal is making me think I've missed some info.
The portal gun is cool but not very good.

Well yeah Halo 3 is probably the best shooter of the current games out now.

Still haven't found one. Legendaries and exotics only?

Yeah, pretty sure. Only found my first yesterday.
I'm pretty sure they drop more on Io. At least that's where I got the ones I have now.

Fusion rifles are the worst haha. They're good against servitors only imo

Merciless is a fusion rifle and it arguably the best weapon in the game.

I got these twice. They're awful.
I swear that you could get this exact perk on a blue armor piece in the first game.

Remind me... was SIVA mentioned in Destiny 2?
Is it something that will remain contained in the Cosmodrome/Plaguelands?

Great for PvE and PvP in my experience.
The suppressive fire that you can just lay down on people in the more Competitive game modes can be a lifesaver.
