Just finished the campaign after 13 hours, including a good chunk of side quests and some Crucible.
I felt that the story, by being less vague than D1´s, made the universe lose some potential and mystery. The guerrilla-like, depowered guardians didn´t convince me at all. I did like the dynamic between the main villain and his friend / consul / mentor, but as a whole I am now even less interested by the lore. I miss the "takes-itself-seriously" Bungie from Halo Reach.
The gameplay is without a doubt very solid, but after playing more sophisticated combat systems (particularly the one from Warframe) it feels relatively slow and shallow. I am not impressed by most of the guardians / armors / weapons designs, perhaps also because of having been inmersed in the exquisite Warframe aesthethics for several months.
I will be checking the strikes, raid and expansions once they become available. That said, as of now there are no vestiges of the gargantuan hype I once had for this saga.
I am intrigued by its social reception; will the hordes of addicted players return? I can´t give an answer yet by using my XBL friends list as a sample.

God's had his chance.
Skyburners Oath makes me soooo happy... feels like a bolter in a great way.
And it just meeeelllllts them Cabal. The heroic strikes are so smooth now. Took it into PVP last night on a lark expecting to get run on and whattya know... 2 head tinks with this thing and people just float away as ash... SO GUD
Raid ready, just about 276 - hoping to hit 280 this evening. can't wait for this raid

I in some odd thinking I have always related the factions and their colors and "style" to the following:
New Monarchy: Red and white Gazelles or Sambas with full on matching track suits.
FWC: Some crazy, limited Nike release in multicolor chaos with joggers and matching hoodie.
Dead Orbit: Checkerboard slip-ons with black jeans and an white T.

I pour one out every night for The Last Word. RIP sweet prince.
I remember doing the first raid with TLW. I used it because it was an exotic, but damn, that was not the best weapon for VoG.

I couldn't tell ya! I'm at 218 and don't have any faith I'll get to 290 any time soon lol
It's not limited to your active inventory. It's anything you have that can be equipped, even if it's in your vault or on another character.

God's had his chance.
Your drops take into account EVERYTHING you have.. including your inventory your vault and your alts and of course - the weapons you have in your hands.
Use whatever you want and you'll get the best possible drops you can no matter what.

I'm down to run it too. I'm a 269 warlock. PSN is voa127
This is how I've resisted the double dip. I made the switch to PC last December and I'm dedicating myself to getting back to where I was on PS4 before Plains of Eidolon drops.
When I feel tempted to plug my PS4 back in I just remind myself what the gameplay will feel like after blasting through Warframe levels at 144hz...and it helps.
Been pretty disappointed with the feedback on the new weapons/perks/mod system as a result though. I want just a slice of Tenno-like customization, they don't have to go all the way.

No idea I get better gear based on my current gear mostly
It's supposed to be a grind. People are really just nolifing/power leveling to 260+ real fast with events. For the normal player its supposed to take much longer than your 1-20 journey. Or it should, at least. "Welcome to the endgame", yadda yadda. Wait until you're within 10 light of the cap, that will take the longest
Awesome need one more!
Still need someone? 253 Warlock if that's ok? PSN ranjha187

GOAT emote....And he managed to get me the best emote
Holy shit, best improvement ever! So now when I create a second character after reaching LL300, I can get level 300 drops as soon as I reach level 20?

The ending felt super weak!
It was basically like, here's a new and improved Tower and everything is back to normal... plus, that last boss battle was a (piece of cake) joke!

What sort of stuff do you look for in good crucible weapons? So far everything I've used feels like garbage.

Looking for peeps with the Rat King quest, wanna get this nightfall in before reset. Any takers? PSN is perineumlick.

Fuck I think my game just screwed me during the Mida quest. I was just turning stuff in and then Devram gave me the weapon I needed to proceed to the next step of the quest. Accepted it and it didn't go to my Elemental slot cause it was full. Went to the postmaster and it's not there. Reloaded the game and still no weapon.
Am I missing something?

I have the last step to do, nightfall.
Known bug with full inventory, can you buy another one from him? Should cost 10 legendary shards.
I do, but I'm at work until 930 central
If you still need to do them tonight let me know. Psn sane as GAF name.

Man. Had a 249, 257 and a 263 (clan mates) for the Nightfall and ran out of time on both runs with the boss at ~15%. Had to call it a night but that was really great, feel we gave it a damn good shot. Was expecting to be frustrated by close losses but it's pretty intense and if it wasn't reset tomorrow we would have nailed it then.
Love the Nightfall changes.

At PL 280, he'll convert those 3 to 1 for purple mods.

I think the idea is that buy mods now, then trade them in for purple ones once you get to 280. I haven't tried/reached that point yet however.
Do it whenever you have the chance. No rush as long as someone else needs to do it.
Thanks so much for this! Very helpful.
Story is taking me longer than I anticipated so I think I'm just gonna call it a day. Just got

You have to wait for that specific nightfall with those specific modifers to try to get the exotic again
Uh oh, I better get on this then.
