No worries! Was able to pick up a 3rd from a friendly clan I've ran with in the past. Took several tries by we were able to get it down.

You get a separate powerful drop.

Can confirm. In addition to the normal loot drops from running the strike, there was also a legendary engram that was at the 'powerful drop' levels.

Kinda miss the ol' blue flames, but glad to have knocked out the Prestige trophy at least. Also, RoboPlato is good people. :-)

Had fun running it. That final moment where we nuked the boss into oblivion when it had a tiny amount of health was awesome.
 
OMFG. I just realized why I've been stuck at PL 265 all this time. I didn't know you had to dismantle exotics into Legendaries to boost your PL! I've been playing this game wrong for weeks
 
that feeling when you finish your 3rd character and hope that Zavala's engram doesn't give you the exotic you bought from Xur and the engram decrypts into the only exotic weapon you've been wanting! Thanks Rahool for the Hard Light. You aren't all that bad today.
 
The spawns in Control are the worst I've ever experienced in a game.

I kind of get the logic of spawning you away from your team but in Control that usually means you're being spawned where the enemy team is camping a flag. I'd say I die a solid 3=5 times a game in Control because I spawn across the room from the entire other team.
 
Fuck man. Was having fun in the raid last night, me and 5 buddies. It was our first time doing it and we died in the gauntlet a lot. We eventually got it down and lost like 3 more times because of a easily correctible mistake. One guy decides he's pissed and done so we had to stop.

Tried again today, except a second guy wouldn't go again so we got a different guy. This guy gets pissed the second a game gets hard and he dies, even when death comes a lot in destiny. We decided to explore the underbelly then go to the gauntlet. After a half hour, "glad I just wasted my time, I'm out." He and the guy who left last night dipped out.

News flash guys, we'll never get it done if you never commit. Hate my friends sometimes.
 
Do I need to have my best weapons equipped at all times, as in Destiny 1? Or will the game auto-detect my highest possible weapon combo, and adjust the PL of dropped loot to that standard?

Someone earlier claimed the latter, but I just want to make sure. I am getting tired of running around with the same 3-weapon combo.
 
9 - 10am EST, anyone interested at helping me beat Calus?

I can't play anymore after that so it's my last chance to hit that milestone before reset, and I only have like 3 hours to play.

Auto-detect. I've had multiple engrams drop at the same level even when I try out different weapon combos in the raid that lower the PL by 2 or 3.

The game auto-detects your highest PL based on gear in your inventory, toon and vault.

Wait, have you been collecting your powerful/luminous engrams via milestones?

Even without infusion exotics to legendaries, those engrams should drop some legendary equipment above PL 265 to boost your PL's baseline.

Unless your RNG is so bad/good that all the high PL drops are exotics, making them impossible to multi-wear.

Control in general is bad because most of the maps are too small for it due to the emphasis on 4v4.
 
I've never done a nightfall before and don't have voice chat, but I'm 270 and this one seems not too bad. I'm on PS4, R_e_z, if anyone is game.
 
Raid complete, took me about 4.5 hours in a team mixed with newbies and people who had done it before. I really enjoyed it. Was kind of worried based on the initial response but I had a bunch of fun and can see myself wanting to replay it quite a bit.
 
I'm down for joining any ongoing raid runs. Hoping to final beat the boss, just havent downed it yet. Experienced on all challenges PSN yanipheonu
 
Thanks for the Calus, guys. That was pretty smooth once we got the second group together.

But where the hell is the raid milestone? I knew it wasn't showing but I thought it was just a visual bug. Isn't Zavala supposed to give a luminous engrams for it?
 
Finally, after grinding over 50 gunsmith packages I finally got the 3 sought after Hakke weapons.

Morrigan-D autotrack rocket launcher, the frontier justice scout and the best of all the Antiope-D SMG amd my goodness that SMG shreds in the crucible.

All those grinding public events, Cargo bay 03 gallery shooting and strikes paid it off.

Mmm no. Engrams you get from Milestones are generally how you get better gear. You shouldn't have to dismantle any exotics in to legendaries. In fact, that wouldn't help at all.

They'll drop at 300 base power no matter what. Some will come with the +5 legendary mod, and some won't.
Click to expand...

They'll drop at 300 PL only if you are already 305 PL or from weekly milestones. If you get an Exotic from say a PE when at 303 PL then the Exotic Engram will read as 298 PL but will be a 303 PL with the always included +5 mod.

you're a good man hawk! you probably don;t remember, but you helped me and my cousin with our first nightfall in destiny 1. I remember you had pocket infinity before the nerf, and wrecked all the minotaurs.

Do you have a different name on PSN? God I miss pocket infinity. Merciless is a lovely spiritual successor though, I'm so happy it is top tier.

Sorry if this has been asked to death but is the game easy to pick up? I'm thinking of picking up the bundle.
Click to expand...

I didn’t play the first one at all, and I think it’s easy enough to pick up. There are a few things that are a little esoteric, but enough people around here are happy to answer questions that it’s easy enough. And I’ve already put in 130 hours.
