Destiny 2 |OT| Here We Go Again

There's no need for that. D2 takes all items from inventory and vault space across your entire account into consideration when determining the power level of drops.

Assuming you have it equipped for drops.

Wouldn't that not work with the Vault since it's multi character based?

I thought it just looked at the best possible combo that your character has in inventory (able to be equipped on that specific character).

Oh really?! I didn't know that. Goodbye sweet lion!
 
Why would the nerf public events??? Please make sense.

I never get anything good anyway. If anything, have less public events so when there is one, more people will show up. They dont feel exciting anymore because theres too many of them. So people dont get pumped about it and just end up ignoring them since there will be a ton more relatively soon.

Public events need to feel exclusive and exiting and theyre not right now.
 
I'm so glad I was able to get mine before they go and change that. Actually getting 50 kills while in the air would have been tedious and annoying.

There's an area outside of the church in the EDZ where the flying dudes spawn endlessly, like 4-5 at a time. I just sat outside the door and completed it in minutes lol.
 
it is good but you still need that light buff for the tougher encounters so you are forced to use that stuff in the nightfall anyways.

True, but at the very least you can cruise around with the gear you like doing the other stuff. Or worrying about having everything equipped correctly.

It works account-wide across all characters. So gearing up a 2nd and 3rd character actually goes a lot quicker.

Yes and no. A couple of levels aren't going to make a massive difference. It's much more important to be using weapons you feel comfortable with, along with your highest level armour than to be a few points higher.

That's a slippery slope... like most things.

Having them appear on the map with count-downs was a big change in itself... perhaps having less of them would indeed make them more "exciting"... but you will upset a lot of people if you cut back the frequency of activities... people want more things to do, not less.
 
What the hell happened to exotic armors? They look like cheap knock-offs of the originals.

Snipers seem terrible to me in D2. And I was all about them in D1. They might as well nerf the damage even more and move them to secondary.
 
Question to my fellow hunters.

What's the best PVE and PVP option?

I really struggle with what to use. Nightstalker multi shots or one shot.
Gunslinger 6 shots with fast reload or 1 shot with nighthawk.

... what would happen if you delete EVERYTHING? What kinds of drops would you get then?

Just curious... :P

They are reusing D1 exotics??

That’s because they’re pretty much just used to get you up to 265 and for the occasional purp and exotic.

Nighthawk ONLY for PVE, never PVP. You want multiple shots on your golden gun on PVP. Nightsalker is obviously great for PVE as well. PVP run pole dancer, for skip Nades and better special, I say.
 
I've seen a few people claim you actually have to have equipped it once for this to work.
Nah, that's false. It's taken into account whether you've equipped it or not.

This should probably be in the OP (maybe it is, haven't read it...) from Bungie:

https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46226

What gear do you use to determine a players best equipment?

Daniel: When we say "best possible gear," we look at what the best scenario is for your character across your account. This means that, if you are playing on your Hunter (like you should), we might use the Helmet you accidentally left in the vault, the Boots you just picked up but haven't equipped, and the Auto Rifle that you forgot to transfer from your Warlock. Gear on other characters, in the vault, in your inventory, or currently equipped are all compared to find the best loadout you could have.

That's convenient! What if I have a level 20 Hunter and make a new Hunter so I can have 3 Hunters? Will all my drops be level 20 gear on the new Hunter? What if I've got a ton of Exotics?


Daniel: Nope! The system is smart enough to look at level requirements and make sure it ignores anything that is too high for the current character to equip. It also obeys equipping restrictions, so it understands that you can only equip one Exotic weapon and one piece of exotic armor and figures that in.

Okay, what about the contents of Engrams we haven't decrypted yet? Are they included when you calculate my best possible equipment?

Daniel: While Engrams do set their power at the time they drop, they don't roll what they contain until the moment you decrypt them. As a result, best possible equipment can't use their contents in its calculations.

If Engrams set their power at the moment they drop, how am I supposed to know which ones have the best gear?

Daniel: Destiny 2's Engrams are pretty cool, because they'll tell you right on the tooltip what the power they dropped at is. This is the minimum power that will come out of the engram.
 
Nighthawk ONLY for PVE, never PVP. You want multiple shots on your golden gun on PVP. Nightsalker is obviously great for PVE as well. PVP run pole dancer, for skip Nades and better special, I say.
I disagree. Nightstalker has a much better melee option than both other specs (the slow and disorient option), also stealth is fantastic, especially when combined with Stompies to completely vanish from combat. Sure you won't get a crazy multi kill two thirds of the way through the match, but I prefer having presence throughout the entire game.
You have to be wearing 280 gear every time you do it.
Shame, though not a problem.

For PVE Nighstalker with Way of the Trapper and Orpheus Rig exotic is awesome right now. In certain situations (like in some public events or strikes when you have a lot of enemies grouped together) you can pretty much spam Shadowshot one after another. I think catching around 8 to 10 enemies recharges your Super immediately, which is not that hard because Shadowshot with Way of the Trapper has a pretty great range and stays in place, so it can also catch enemies spawning in. Way of the Pathfinder generates an obscene number of orbs too, in situations where you can't catch a lot of enemies with a single Shadowshot it's probably better.
 
Two quick Qs:

1. What the best activity to grind for light levels when the story is done, just strikes like before?

2. Should I be hoarding Tokens to turn in at higher light levels or no?
 
So does anyone else think the hip fire perk should also reduce or completely take away recoil while hip firing? Any wsapon with this perk since D1 has been an instant scrap.

It kind of defeats the purpose if your screen still violently shakes when hipfiring.

Finish all your adventures, max out your skill tree by playing the ones that give you upgrade points, then everything that awards blue gear, this will get you to power 250. Save everything you get during the process, tokens, milestones, don't turn them in.

After you reach ~250, start turning in all the zone tokens, gunsmith materials, planet materials, these faction awards will boost you to 265, which is blue gear's cap.

Then finish all the milestones, especially things that give "Powerful Gear", as these are the only ones that can go above 265.
 
They're either buffing strike rewards or nerfing public event rewards...which one would Bungie do?
Hmm...

I can see a "This is not how we envisioned our game being played" response coming up. I bet the fact that most people leveling to 20 from public events will be addressed.

Not saying I agree, but would be fairly Bungie-like.
 
Wait... this means when we level alts we no longer have to transfer gear around to level up faster, right? Although transferring weapons and armor for preference would still be a thing, of course.
It means you no longer have to transfer gear around to level up faster. Period. All Stop.

Again, D2 takes all items from inventory and vault space across your entire account into consideration when determining the power level of drops.
