so what do i do with glimmer now? i've reached the limit. well i'm not sure if it's capped but it says 99999+ so i guess i'm still getting glimmer but it's just not showing it.

i only used glimmer early on to buy gear from vendors to level up quicker. the game is completely showering me in it unlike the first game. i don't know what to do with legendary shards or bright dust either.

Buy random mods from gunsmith. You reached the cap. I'd suggest spend your money until you're at around 50k.

 

[Salty Rice]

You might want to Youtube the after credits scene. It's pretty important.

Yeah i did that right after. Just hope i dont miss out on any items or stuff.

How long is maintenance?

Ends 2pm eastern

stockpile blue mods from gunsmith, as when you hit 280 you can use multiple blue mods to craft legendary +5 power mods.

Buy mods from the gunsmith. Buy treasure maps from cayde.

You're at cap. I bought some of the zone consumables from Cayde as well as his treasure maps but gear mods are supposedly the best thing to dump on them (because you can trade blues in for purples at 280).

 

[blackflag]

Damn wanted to play for an hour before work

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Ends 2pm eastern

Welp, there goes my destiny plans for half the day lol

 

[Trakan]

why do they even need maintenance? the game has only been out 6 days

The game has been running somewhat shitty since launch. Random disconnection errors, problems signing in, and "contacting destiny servers" messages.

Here's to hoping this maintenance fixes all of that.

IMO, Sidearms, submachine guns and shotguns are awful in PvE.

Sidearms are just a weaker shittier version of the regular auto/burst/scout rifles. The only advantage is a fast switch speed, but that's only really useful in PvP.
SMGs are a shit version of an autorifle with insanely bad recoil. I don't even know what the point of them is. They need to do a lot more damage to make up for the lack of precision bonus damage (not to mention completely missed shots).
Shotguns are just a shit sword.

Are drops based on your current equipment or your total loadout? I know engrams use your best theoretical loadout (even including the vault and alts) but I'm not sure about chests and mob-drops.
I'd like to leave my SMGs in the backpack if possible.
I wish I'd kept my damaged city armour so I could do a quick test.

100% agree on sidearms SMGs and shotguns. Swords never have to reload. Riskrunner is a god though Chain lightning arc + magazine refill mmm

Stock up on the random weapon mods from the Gunsmith

 

[SomedayTheFire]

It really really annoys me that the glimmer cap is 99,999+. Why not just 99,999 or 100,000

 

[Admiral Woofington]

C'mon, the clan was already to almost 80k out of 125k for the next level. I wanted those sweet rewards when I log in tonight, lol.





Still business hours in most of EU right now as well, lol.

By the time most folks return from work I can only assume we'll have the clan rewards if we're already 80k out of 125k. Question is whether you can fill out your 5k contribution by just doing the weekly stuff (milestones, nightfall, missions for main 3 guardians).

 

[badboy78660]

For us thirsty folks, lol

 

[DjRalford]

When did they last stick to a window and not overrun? Add another hour

Akira posted this in our clan discord chat, which might be a helpful resource:

Good questions. I'll do my part!

You should be able to do it by just doing the Strikes, Crucible, Patrols, Public Events Challenges, Flashpoints and NF... Lots to do, lol

is there a dedicated gaf d2 discord? if so would like invite!

 

[TheCanisDirus]

I'm sure this has been answered in here but cant find any reference to it....

Do the treasures that Cayde 6 sells maps to respawn weekly or are they once and gone forever? Are we going to be going back to Cayde weekly for new "stuff"?

the maps change every week along with the flashpoint

 

[Mik2121]

So... I was about to finish this when the servers went down. I thought it'd be at o'clock, not at :45. Fuck me.

It apparently cut me halfway through the last cutscene in the game when

Spoiler

Ghaul becomes the giant cloud thing, the Traveler breaks from the chains and destroys it. The screen went bright, the traveler silhouette was there

, then it just gave me a server message and back to the menu. What a way to kill the ending. Jesus... I kept playing assuming with those extra 15 minutes I'd be able to see the full ending, but no, fucking 15 mins ahead it just cuts me there. I love this game and I like Bungie a lot, but also screw you Bungie! And it's almost 24:00 here so I will be sleeping when the servers come up, and tomorrow I have to work so I probably won't see the proper ending (if I can see it at all) until tomorrow. Ugh.

I hope next time I jump in, it shows me the cutscene from the beginning and not just jump to the next gameplay part. I want to see what the fuck happened...



Screw you, Bungie

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Wrapping up the last few story missions at LL 240.

I'm slightly worried i will be drained and not feel any incentive or need to revisit a lot of these areas unfolding in the story due to how large they are. I was surprised to see very little people hanging around as well. I;m not sure if these areas welcome exploration or if, like me, some are feeling burned out.

I dont know. Maybe more time will change my mind.

 

[Kurumi]

I want to go back to the tower but I'm afraid I might get kicked lol

 

[neoism]

At least I'm at work during Maintenance ☺️

Dammit finally I get a night to play and it's server maintenance

 

[badboy78660]

Me too

 

[Nightmare452]

It really really annoys me that the glimmer cap is 99,999+. Why not just 99,999 or 100,000

Its really 100,000, since if you are 99,999+, and you spend say 5,000, you still are left with exactly 95,000.

 

[LiK]

Exodus Crash NF is gonna be the worst NF of all time.

 

[Pejo]

So I tried using Sturm and Drang last night, what a disappointment. Sure not running out of ammo is ok, but they're both so middling/bad as guns in their own rights, it's not even worth it.

Also, got Merciless out of an exotic engram. Fucking insanely OP on bosses/yellows and I wish I had it during the Nightfall.

Buy the treasure maps use a shader on yo ship buy mods...

Do you really still get glimmer even at 99999+?

 

[Kaibutsu]

Bungie going by work day and school time.

Indeed, i hate to say it but it works out perfectly for me. Maintenance will be all finished by the time i get home from work

 

[phen0m24]

Day 6

Still holding strong. Such discipline.

Lol waves at Ned

 

[R0ckman]

When is the raid exactly? Are people forming groups yet? I can't see anyone in my GAF clan list as it does the continous load thing.

They are weekly. We just got new maps this week (today) and last weeks maps are not available to grab anymore.

 

[Ferny]

People going nuts haha

Get used to this guys.

no...once you hit the Glimmer cap you stop getting it until you're back under the max

 

[Silav101]

Is this the one with a platform with electrocuting shanks and a motherfucking cloaked bullshit teleporting Fallen captain boss? Because that shit is already unfun without any modifiers as is. Ugh.

 

[Kurumi]

Welp. I jinxed myself. I got kicked finally.

 

[Vic_Viper]

Wow, First official day off school and work for me and the servers are down for maintenance lol. So what do I do now?

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Cayde 6's maps were terrible for me this morning. Only gave me clues and a few items to sell.

 

[_Legacy_]

Grenade Launchers are so bad, I think Bungie need to rework them all to make them more viable. I'm dismantling any legendary one I get, I know I'll never use it over the other power weapon types, like ever.

Glorious particles. Should be nuts whenever HDR is patched in.

 

[zonezeus]

Important question time: when you acquire a new dance, can you switch it with the default one or does it take the slot of your one custom emote? This info is vital to my enjoyment of the game!

 

[Strangelove77]

One of Cayde's chests didn't give me anything. Weird.

I did one last night and I didnt get anything lol. Not sure what you are suppsoed to get from them but it was kinda underwhelming.

Is there a new Nightfall this week? And do we know if the Rat King quest will still be available after the Refresh?

how long are they down for?

4 Hours total, I think 3 hours left
