Finished the campaign, thought it was excellent but would have appreciated a hard mode, our fireteam steam rolled it all.

We'll see how the end game shapes up. How do you unlock the Nightfall? Or is that not up yet?

 

[Floody]

Not sure what to spend glimmer on once you are past the power the vendors sell gear for.

Putting Shaders on stuff can cost up to 15K. Only thing I've been spending it on so far.

 

[Everdred]

Any word on how it performs on XB1? I have a Pro and very little time, but most of my D1 friends are on XB1 and if I can spare an hour or two on a weekend, I might play online with them. I am most interested in the SP and least interested in Raids and loot chasing.

Played for about 4 hours only one dip in pve when things got really crazy.

 

[HowZatOZ]

more people will double dip because of that

I feel like double dipping isn't a true reason to the delay, not with the fact there being no character transfers available. I just don't want it to ever come out that the delay was reasoned as a means of stopping data mining, because that's just stupid and happens on consoles as well.

So how often do you get bright engrams? And is there any scaling to the amount of xp needed to get them over time?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

They really messed my chick up, wtf

Destiny 1

Destiny 2

Jesus

 

[Alebelly]

Scratching my head at the massive praise for the opening mission of the game. It's literally the same mission as the beta, nothing particularly great. I mean it's better than launch Destiny 1 campaign, but what isn't?

Tweaks to ammo drops, to cooldown timers, to enemy sponginess, to hitboxes, to overall polish. I felt there was a distinct difference between the beta and launch builds.

Looks like a waxwork for real lol.

 

[Wallach]

So how often do you get bright engrams? And is there any scaling to the amount of xp needed to get them over time?

From what I understand, it's like Destiny 1 where the XP per level is fixed. Someone mentioned that maybe the first 3 you get immediately after hitting 20 may be faster somehow, but it should return to a fixed amount after that (if that is even true, I'm not quite there).

Get power level to 240. Or 230 like Bsigg says, I'm shaky on which it was.

1 / level up after getting to max (20). XP requirement should remain flat.

 

[Amibguous Cad]

How do you see ongoing milestones/quests/bounties? I don't see anything in my inventory

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Looks like a waxwork for real lol.

Tempted to make a new character because it is looking weird as hell in cutscenes and worse in gameplay.

You have to be power/light level 230.

I shouldn't laugh but those eyes look like they're gonna pop out

Sorry, I mean how long does it take to get each level after 20?

 

[Floody]

Quest by pressing L2 on the Galaxy map, Milestones/Challenges pop up if you hold your Ghost out on planets/modes that have them.

 

[X-Frame]

I was all set to do that but

SUBCLASS SPOILERS

Spoiler

The mission for the Titan Striker subclass was an absolutely beautiful celebration of the class. I can't rob my classic characters of these moments. I will carry them with me for the rest of this saga.

Same here!

Spoiler

I was like .. uhh what is this OMG IT'S WEI NING!!

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

That sucks. Only reason I kept mine is because I wanted the "Played since" thing, but haven't seen it once when selecting character yet. Level 12 atm so feel I'm at a point where I either restart now, or just deal with it. My other two toons are ugly af from D1 so going to be redoing them anyway.

 

[Ryck]

Spoiler

So does Sunshot drop in engrams? Or am I gonna have to run the campaign again if I choose another gun?

 

[RoboPlato]

The hair looks a lot worse on mine than in the first game. Aliased to hell, even on the Pro.

I think thats account bound not character bound, could be wrong, but I read that earlier

Jesus

Oh... oh god. Actually a lot of the new faces look like ass compared to the old sets.

 

[xuchu]

They really messed my chick up, wtf

Jesus

Yeah, same thing happened to my warlock. She looks like she has a huge moustache at certain angles in D2. Hopefully, they'll allow us to edit our characters eventually or even just a haircut but seeing as they went 3 years w/o giving us that option, I dunno.

 

[RoboPlato]

I like how the Adventures have been paced. Just a couple open up as you go through the campaign so you can do those right away and not get too far off the story pacing.

 

[Not_A-Cop_Maybe]

Having fun playing the story so far.

But anyone else having issues trying to get onto Crucible? Im on Xb1 and i literally cant get past the "Evaluating Guardians" loading screen.

Are there any fixes or workarounds for this?

 

[Marvel]

They really messed my chick up, wtf

Jesus

Bungo pls

 

[AlexBasch]

I always thought the Destiny faces were ugly as fuck TBH, so I chose the helmet always on option.

If they do you just know it'll be a paid service.

 

[Strangelove77]

The app updated on IOS.

 

[GTR R35_Supra RZ]

Played Titan class to death in D1, which class is unique and best to start D2 in the first run..thx!

 

[Kaversmed]

The app updated on IOS.

What's new?

 

[GraveRobberX]

Going to sleep, but before I do, looking at my phat lewt!

My 3 Legendary Engrams, 211; 220; 222
Exotic @220

211:

220:

222:

The Travellers Light shined upon me!

*Drumroll*

OH MY FUCKING GOD, FIRST EXOTIC, BEST EXOTIC!

3 in 1 Elemental Sniper, Yes please!

So Good, now I go lay slumber for a good night's rest, to be refreshed by Doctor Unstables Order. He's worries about me =3.

 

[Kurumi]

They really messed my chick up, wtf

Jesus

Yeaa....they really messed up my human female titan. Soon as I saw the way she looked now I deleted her quickly

 

[SomTervo]

Guys, uninformed dude right here.

Question: ¿Destiny 2 keeps the "light" armor system to lvl up after reaching the level cap?

I hated that in the first game.

Dude, they removed that in the first game. The Taken King was a massive retconning patch which changed all the game's systems including Light on your gear being used to level up.

The original Light system is one of the reasons I stopped playing Destiny 1 month in.

I still hate that snipers/shotguns are considered heavies now. Yes you get a ton of heavy weapon ammo but it's still annoying.

 

[Raven117]

I deleted my hunter because my model from D1 was awful. (I know it all transfers).

Destiny 2's charater editor is just as bad, and I ended up with one that looked exactly like my old one.

It feels bad. I want my old one back. I know it doesn't matter, but I liked it in the first slot on the title screen.

 

[noomi]

Snip

Dude....

Thanks so much for this write up, especially the bit about shields. Coming from D1 and knowing everything about every mechanic and then having D2 have all these changes, this is the type of info that interests me the most.

 

[Alebelly]

I picked the class I never used in D1, and that turned out to be very fun. Lots of good YT breakdowns if you need specific insight before picking a class

 

[Dead Prince]

Get a headset! The game has best in class music and sound design.

Aw. I can't use my PC headset. It didn't work when I plugged it in

 

[Afrocious]

as someone who mained lock in D1, (early game) locks in D2 control like ass

switched over to hunter so i wouldn't fall asleep. much more mobile

 

[Tovarisc]

Spoiler

Engrams.

Yeah but locks have blink so rip hunters

 

[FyreWulff]

this insta summon sparrow i got makes me wonder why we've always had to hold square down

I swear if you have maxed SRL gear in Destiny 1 it's near instant sparrow summon

 

[GuessWho]

GAF tell me do I go hunter or titan!!??

 

[Omni]

Still bummed about the character creator.

Also the way they've handled strikes is a little weird, IMO. I liked how in Destiny 1 they were a part of the 'main' story. Of course, I haven't finished the story yet, but so far it's like

 

[Perineum]

Game is legit fire.

I will say, I KNEW there was some shady shit going on with customization when they didn't include it in the beta's.

To literally add 0 new customization to characters is fucking lazy and inexcusable. Totally horse shit, and quite upsets me.

The rest of the game is ace so far though.

 

[JHall]

GAF tell me do I go hunter or titan!!??

Do you like Frabjous capes or butt towels?

It sucks because I really liked the way it looked in 1, probably my favorite custom female in a game.
Normally customs look off a lot, now 2's do as well.

 

[Bsigg12]

That moment when you decode an Exotic Engram and get another Coldheart....

I still need a legendary chestpiece.

 

[AaronMT86]

In my Milestones I have "Patrols". Normally, in D1, I would look for icons in scattered beacons in an area. Where are these in the EDZ?

My Milestone, "Patrols Access", e.,g "Help Cayde 6 establish a network in the EDZ"
