Destiny 2 |OT| Here We Go Again

Can someone explain how the level scaling for Nightfalls, strikes, raids and other things work?

For example, say friend #1 is 265, friend #2 is also 265, but friend #3 is 300. Will it scale all of us or will friend #3 just be scaled down? I'm a little confused.

Once you reach the recommended light level you are doing Normal damage to enemys. A little below and your doing a smaller percentage, lower still and it gets harder and harder to actually do decent damage/stay alive.

Your 300 friend will be doing normal damage to mobs.

The 265 friends will probably start getting hit harder and doing less damage towards the end of the raid.

There is no scaling on difficulty.
 
So my buddy got hit by the full slot mida mini tool bug. Is he just hosed until they fix it, as far as staring the multi tool quest, or is there a workaround? I think he tried to buy the mini from Dev, but I don't think that it worked.

Any ideas?
 
Kind of wish there was a standard for the industry, like microtransaction can not be RNG goody bags, or if there are goody RNG bags everything in them has to buyable seperately, goody bags could be 10-20% off the total of buying all the drops of a goody bag separately. That way if you have silver (or whatever game currency) to spend and don't like whats on rotation don't care and just want a bundle of stuff to mess with you can buy a bag.

This shit needs to be labeled as gambling because it is gambling and slaped with 18+ restrictions. You're a game developer and want to sell RNG loot boxes? Fine, but rate your game R and take a hit in sales from not being able to sell it to teenagers. It is beyond me why it isn't regulated in any way.
 
Wait, what's the rage about Bright engrams now?

Is this something they are fixing with this patch?

Each "hidden" level past 20 takes increasing XP to earn, and you only get "free" bright engrams for each new level. So for a few weeks you may get a few bright engrams a week, if the XP max isn't capped at some point it'll take like a month to earn the next "free" bright engram.

Unless they Bungle hotfixed this your friend can do it the quest with a alt and transfer the mini tool to hos main. This activates the quest.

He's screwed unless Bungie has a fix or he makes a new character.

Is this definitely true or just based on hearsay?

Thanks, and to ValfarHL as well. That's what I thought, but figured I'd ask either way.

Such a bummer (for him and anyone else it's happened too). Maybe the maintence todau fixed it somehow.

Also, has anyone had this problem with any other gear, as far as having a full slot and then your reward isn't sent to postmaster? He claims it's happened 2 other times to him, not sure if I believe him. He's a returning guardian from Y1, and doesn't always understand what is happening.

Everyone gets 3 or 4 (I forget) levels of increased XP per week. "Rested bonus" or whatever.

Sure what percent of increased EXP? Either way faster to level if the level was 50k xp compared to 100k xp. If there is no cap, who knows where the it gets. Seems similar to Paragon levels in Diablo 3, though without any actual bonuses and just to get a new Skinner box (or as exp goes up to get less free Skinner boxes enticing folks to buy them after they are hooked).

No idea. But I also have no idea where this info that each additional level requires increased XP is coming from either.
 
This is bullshit. I just microwaved my disc in protest. Bungie now owes me a new microwave and house because it caught fire and everything burned down.

Depending on how much he wants the Mida, he can start an alt with the sole purpose of getting to that quest. Certainly not ideal, but still doable if that's the gun he wants.

If he does an alt, have him put a sparrow in his vault before he creates a new character, that way it will be waiting for his new character as soon as they can access the vault. Having a sparrow from the start + skipping cut scenes make the campaign much shorter.
 
56 minutes.

I was just getting my characters passed the 290 PL barrier when they pulled the plug this morning.

I also needed to farm Glimmer, when's the last time you said that?
