I'm missing something, how are people not going into the raid getting raid loot?

Apparently the clan engram everyone in the clan gets for a group completing the raid can contain raid loot.

We have a 5 for the raid, need another.

Yes, Trials of Osiris/The Nine is Destiny's competitive PVP mode.

Speaking of which, has it been confirmed whether or not it's 4v4 or 3v3?

I hope it's 2v2. Make it extra sweaty.

 

[Afrocious]

Just a ship. If you bought the physical collector's edition, you get a booklet that actually provides context for what the hell is going on. No reason to put that ingame for everyone, right?

Thankfully, it's on the wiki.

There's actually an adventure you can do on Nessus that gives context for the raid.

I hope it's 2v2. Make it extra sweaty.

Hey Marvel, wanna help me with rat King? It's the only stuff I have left before the raid.

I need help with the Nightfall-part, so if you are going there, please consider taking me along.

 

[Ramirez]

Man watching some raid streams...this is NOT a fun raid to play. I think I will beat it once and never touch it again. Bungie dropped the ball on this raid.

It's extremely fun to play though.

 

[SlimySnake]

the game literally has loot caves called Lost Sectors lol.

All they had to do was add super hard versions of these lost sectors in the game and had them drop legendarys. but nope. everything not earned in the raid must be capped at 265. So fucking stupid.

It's 4v4 according to this interview.

Where are people getting that stuff is capped in 265 when none of it is?

Wut...265 is a soft cap. It will go up. You don't need too do the raid for it to go up. Where did you get that idea?

 

[RyanHardy101]

On my hunt for exotics, from the last 5, I got 3 Orpheus Rig... I wish I could just give them away, I'm going to dismantle them either way.

Also, Uriel's Gift is godly for PvP.

I will speak for myself, but it feels like most my drops this week are 264 blues or 265 legendary engrams/armor/weapons... Been hard to get my level up.

Vanguard reputation packages, World Factions packages, Gunsmith Packages, Crucible rep packages, every single legendary engram drop in the game outside of the raid (i had 10 drop in my four hours in the raid last night) are all capped at 265.

Only way to level up from 265 is by doing the three milestones every week, hope for an exotic drop and hope you saved the exotic quests until after you 265. thats a poor system imo.

I am 284 and have not been in the Raid at all. Not sure what he is thinking. Lol

 

[GodParticle]

Public events need to be drastically reduced. There's no reason to do anything else. It should be like D1 where they felt like a special event. I also wished they occurred in more random locations instead of the same places every time

Like I jumped from 270 to 281 thanks to the milestones yesterday as well as finishing up the MIDA quest.

No they aren't. My last vanguard package was 271. Clan package was 272. Milestone packages have been in the 280s. I am at 284 with no raiding so far.

Yep.

Also make sure when you hit 280+ to make legendary mods to get that +5 PL to all your stuff.

oh, well I will complete my list and see whats up. I need to do Nightfall and Crucible stuff still.

It takes five minutes to do the daily challenges and Ikoras rank hardly moves....

Milestones
saving legendary gear that drops with legendary mods
exotic drops from doing everything that involves opening a chest on a planet
turning in tokens which can yield exotics
exotic quests

the fun in doing the above is debatable, but 265 isn't as big a wall as people make it out to be.

Gunsmith legendary mods are just as critical, if not more so, than those weekly in my opinion

Bounties have been changed to "challenges", each planet & activity have them. Touch your touchpad (or the Xbox equivalent) to bring up the ghost/go to orbit menu, said challenges will be on the right side of your screen.

Isn't that only when you reach 280 though? I can't buy the mods til then.

Iv'e done that adventure, but it doesn't include nearly the detail about the exile and invitation that the booklet does. I didn't even realize there was a coup and exile until I read the booklet. Maybe I missed some fine detail in passing during the adventure.

 

[Bumhead]

So if I'm level 267, and I have no more milestones left for the week (other than the Raid), am I essentially stuck until the reset?

I'm hoping we get some PvE updates when the "Faction Rally" happens late this month. I could see them add something like Bounties, or at least more missions and milestones for the returning factions.

I do wonder how FWC, New Monarchy and Dead Orbit will operate this time around.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

Might as well send the full gear set to your postmaster then.

That would be overkill. It's also a terrible comeback to the original post, as one piece of gear per week for your clans achievements is a whole different beast then a full set.

Why not just take that argument all the way, and have you get a full set of 300 gear just for logging in? Maybe have the game play itself progress quest wise and just send you text updates on your progress?

The bottom line is really, the game is doing a lot more to keep the playerbase, even casual ones, able to gear to roughly the same levels in terms of PL. They are avoiding a wow style situation where half the game is inaccessible if you don't have 10 hours a week to raid/do mytics/etc.

The only real downside to this system is it really favors big clans who can grind off tons of XP and clear tons of major events each week with ease.

Not really,

Makes actually pretty good sense.
(1) Beginning Game - Levels 1-20
(2) Mid Game Power Levels 200-265
(3) End Game 265+

265 essentially puts you into every endgame activity. Raid, (probably Trials), Most likely Iron Banner. All to slow the grind down a bit as you progress. (They still want you to keep playing and grind some).

"Hardly" is a huge fucking stretch. Popped a Legendary from her on yesterday's Milestone.

 

[void666]

Last night i got the Merciless exotic fusion rifle. When i read the perk description i was like meh. But holy crap, it's a cool weapon. The first shot takes forever to charge but each shot that doesn't get the kill makes the next one charge faster. It's not OP because power ammo is limited. And it doesn't affect pvp.

After I complete the campaign with one character is the universe open to my other to characters or do I have to complete the campaign with each character?? Thanks d GAF!
