Destiny 2 |OT2| Leviathan Wakes (Spoiler Tag ALL Raid Discussion)

Man, been farming stupid strikes and doing raid x3 for two weeks looking for either curtain call or sins of the past.

Just did NF and got 300 curtain call from the milestone, then a 296 curtain call from zavala package, then a 300 curtain call from clan engram. What are the odds? As Shaxx says "I loooooovvvee it"


Stop maxing the clan XP out already you filthy Euro (and your little buddies too!) I want to contribute something at least tonight....



Good work son!
 
Alright I'm stumped. I hit 265 and like every guide I've read, I proceeded to turn in all my shit, tokens, marks, planetary doodads, etc. equipping better stuff as I went along and ended at... 266. WTF?

On the bright side I have a shitload of legendary shards (over 100). Did I do something wrong? I haven't run the Nightfall (last week or this one) since I wanted to be at least 270-280 so I'd feel like I could contribute. Is it just a slow grind to push my gear score up now?

Also if any XBone clans need another member I'm available. My brother and I play pretty much daily.

You actually did something wrong. You save planetary turn-ins for getting TO 265 quicker, not after that. After 265 you want to do milestones and exotic quests.
 
MSAA is known to be a bug and is definitely going to be fixed, and the graphics options are already good as it is, I don't see anything that needs immediate attention.

Also class abilities are mapped to one single button press, which is far easier than any double tap so I don't understand why that is needed on PC.

MSAA x4 wasn't able to clear up jaggies for me on a 1440p display (unless this was part of the bug), plus even if they fix up MSAA it is still going to be a resource hog. I've always had far better luck with getting a cleaner image with TAA; BF1 has probably the best TAA implementation I've ever seen, the game looks beautifully clean.

Also I believe there were some other options in the beta that were tanking performance, don't specifically remember which ones though.

As for class abilities being bound to a separate bind, I would appreciate a toggle to be able to double tap (at least for hunter dodge). Maybe because I'm so used to double tapping crouch on the controller.
 
Is this the place for clan discussion/recruitment? I'm in a pretty active xbox clan with a lot of IRL friends, but I plan on spending most of my time on PC when that comes out, and none/very few of my friends are making the switch. I'm looking to join an active clan for PC, I'm a pretty active raider, been to lighthouse a few times... overall a pretty focused player interested in getting shit done efficiently, but also chill.

Ah that feels like an ad, apologies in advance. Can anyone point me in the right direction? TIA
 
This game was so broken for me today, it's fascinating.
First the game kept crashing while loading the tower. Then I got dumped in an instance with no NPCs, reloaded the instance through fast travel which made all the NPCs and players appear... but now the camera was following some random dude instead of my character.

Is this what happens when they miss the Monday maintenance?
 
so to get from 266 to anything higher I'm pretty much stuck doing milestones and praying to RNGesus for good engrams? I'm I going to be a detriment in a nightfall at 266?

We have a clan recruitment thread. Hope you find one that works for you!

it honestly depends on the nightfall. Last weeks was so easy that almost anyone could basically be carried.

Public events are still a solid bet for leveling up. Try to find a fireteam or match up in an instance with rando's who know what they're doing to trigger the heroics.

Getting screwed out of gear to raise power is only really a problem at 300ish power. At this point I think most of GAF has pretty high power characters, so while 266 isn't great for nightfalls I think most people can make up the difference. Maybe just don't plan on getting Rat King until you have better gear.
 
Anyone else wish there was more variation in enemy ai for the different races? They all have the sniper guys (vandals,hobgoblins etc), melee guys and sucide guys with regular cannon fodder.

It's kinda mind numbing.

Hope that applies to this one.

Cool, my brother and I know the triggers so we should be good. We've 2-manned almost every public event.
 
Has there been any talk/hints/discussion on if they are looking to re introduce any of the D1 lore from TK/HoW/RoI?

Are they just going to override that DLC lore with new DLC from D2 or slide any of that stuff back in (outside of the reoccurance of the Taken in the game)
 
They literally do it on the day EVERYONE wants to play.

Not on any other fucking day. But the day everything resets.

I'll never understand this. Hey, people want to get on and finish up what they can but let's do our upkeep then. It never affects me personally but I can see how it would drive some of you mad. Why not like 6am on a Thursday or some shit?

I just wish they didn't do it in prime European time for once. Even European developers do that shit.
 
Just before the maintenance hit I had 7 engrams: 4 legendary and 3 exotics. It's like Christmas but I have a feeling Rahool will give me coal.

Grind public events, the chance for exotic engrams is not bad. Also weekly milestones, there are two very easy ones every week (flashpoint and clan xp), plus nightfall isn't really hard. The PvP one recently had a change to reduce time required to finish it so it's a good idea to do that too. Lastly the 3 exotic weapon quests are mostly easy to do, Rat King is a bit tricky since it requires a fireteam but the other two can be done completely solo, and they both give you two high level weapons.

There's loads of throwbacks in all the scannables around the game world. Oryx gets mentioned a couple of times in the main story, as does SIVA I think. There's even a very subtle nod to Variks on the reef.

Yeah, but trying to get the square icon to actually pop up on scannable items is annoying. They should make the items glow or something. I hate walking around rooms like a drunk fool trying to find that 1 item,....

Hold your Ghost up, he'll be looking at the scannable item.
 
Swear the Maintenance already happened last night lol. They really need to fix their times for when to do these. Why do them on reset day! They should be doing them either Monday or Monday night before the reset occurs.

The ghost icon flashes if a scannable item is nearby. When nearby pull out your ghost it will face its direction.

That nod isn't really subtle :)
 
New Monarchy tokens. Turned in 160 tonight. Got four helmets in a row. Then got four scouts in a row.

I had both already of course.
300 Tokens per character, per faction. Only got two unique pieces of armor per character. I have enough Red Mambas to fill the Vanguard Armory. Really wish they would've added more to the Faction Rewards so they didn't have to pull this duping bullshit on players.

Your ghost follows them. It took me ages to figure that out, but now I never miss them.
 
Is this game going to be offline every freaking week?

We have a snow day today (yeah crazy) and I'm home and ready to play.

How long is it supposed to be offline ?
