Need to get to level 11 to progress in the story, half way through 9 atm! Best way? I am assuming adventures? Probably going to start mopping up the ones I havent completed yet (only done the first 2 on EDZ).

I'm at the farm now and curicble still doesn't work. Pretty stupid. It'd be dope if the game actually told me what the fuck to actually do to play the game.
Guess that's asking a lot.
I was playing in a fireteam with my mates within, hmm I honestly don't know the exact time but it must have been within half an hour?
Yea I lol'd.
Anyone not digging the nightstalker like me yet? I've been using the 3 shot node, but everything from the grenades to the super itself just feel really weak.

What was the last story mission you did? Are you just on the "evaluating guardians" step and it's not advancing?

It takes like 1 to 2 hours to unlock PvP. All you have to do is play part of the story. I wouldn't call that a grind or a long period of time.
The one where I went to earth.. to be honest I have no idea what I'm supposed to do though. It's not in the slightest bit clear. Guess they expect you to do tons of research before playing.
Still, it's insane to me that I can't just play the game I bought. Don't give a shit about the story at all, just bought the game to play online.
I've been using the uhhh... spam one. Can get like 6 shorts off. Combos up nicely imo
Not when I found the opening hours to be my favorite moment of all destiny so far. Those skyboxes, that music and feeling.......so good
That's fine, and I agree it's pretty fantastic, but I bought a multiplayer game. Not Mass Effect 4.
I don't really know what to suggest, playing through a story isn't what I would call grind though.
It doesn't introduce everything all at once when you boot that game as for a newcomer that would be a bit too much, it just introduces things as you go. PVE multiplayer is available once you get to the Farm and then PVP appears pretty soon after, am not exactly sure of the timescale, but I just walked up to Shax (a guy in the farm) and it was available.

You don't really want to start MP until you get a couple of different weapons anyway.
Doesn't take more than an hour to unlock it.

It takes like 1 hour to open up the multiplayer. Jesus. It's also fairly self explanatory how to play everything. Open up the director, crucible should be in the top left. If it's not you need to go talk to Lord Shaxx
I didn't play it in the Beta but it melts enemies so fast. Also I love making them explode. It's awesome.
Dude it should take an hour tops to get to where you can do whatever you'd like.
Yeah it isn't traditional because Destiny fuses PVEPVP together.

The PVP and PVE elements are tied together heavily in this game. I don't think I've heard of anyone who plays Destiny solely through PVP. There are abilities you need to unlock by going through the main game, weapons you need to acquire to be competitive against others players, and armor too.
If anything, it's only going to get worse from here if you just want to jump into PVP and not do anything else.
I don't mind doing PVE/SP stuff, I just want to be able to play online with my friends, which I can't do without grinding this crap out an indefinite amount. I miss the days where you could just boot a game and play whichever mode you feel like.

I got my first exotic from an engram. I got the wardcliff coil. I can't wait to see what this can do.

Probably, it's hard not to since his symbol is on screen all the time until you do talk to him.
You don't need to grind anything to play multi. You need to finish the prologue.
If only it was stated literally anywhere for me to find out without asking on a gaming board. It's these design decisions that really make me question what Bungie has become.

It's literally on your screen floating telling you to go talk to him.
They're even better than the Strikes in D1. Well crafted.
Go to the farm and look for the guy called Shaxx. He's in the barn thing to your right when you spawn. You should see the Crucible symbol above his head I think.

Yup they're really good, I'm really surprised and happy with them. There sure are a fucking lot of them too.

Gigz is 286.....
... i should probably get around to finishing that story already.
100%ing each planet (all adventures, doing like ... 6 public events between them) before moving on is probably not the best idea

Watching 3 Coldhearts melt a strike boss is really satisfying. Having a blast using it.
Anyone know of a Xur sighting yet?

Thank you! And thanks to everyone else who helped ITT
Guess I'm just bad at the game. Planning on putting more time into it this weekend.

All good. You'll probably put another 500 hours into Destiny 2. Have fun.

EDIT: nope. You´re right.
So, if you finished the campaign and without spoiling anything, is the campaing better? I mean does the story makes sense now? Does feel like previous bungie games with nice cutscenes and incredible music? I mostly play games for the campaign and every once in a while i play the coop part but D1 was a huge letdown for me on the campaign side, sincd it didn't have one tbh
Yes. But I feel like I got more out of it being a die hard lore fan of Destiny 1. It's definitely a cohesive and enjoyable campaign though.

It's a more light hearted, less linear reverse version of Halo Reach
So for those who have reached light level (?) 250 or around there... what do you think is the best way for a character who has just finished the story (level 20, light level 200) to start grinding for gear in order to get towards the 250+ mark?
Is it the usual of just running strikes?
Is it the usual of just running strikes?
It's different in Destiny 2. You can do pretty much anything to rank up. I just ran public events, lost sectors and adventures. Faster than running strikes.
The one on Titan?
I have just been running around the EDZ so far doing public events, and things. Up to 252 now, might go to another area tonight.
Yeah some of the adventures make me question why they weren't story missions. They're absolute gems.
On another note, wow just about every hunter exotic is absolute trash. They look cool but that's about it. Very strange how instead of making them extraordinary, Bungie instead makes them as boring as can be.
One exotic - Quickdraw for hand cannons.. that was a weapon perk in D1...
another exotic - quickdraw and fast reload for sidearms, which already reload insanely fast... again another weapon perk in D1...
some boots that make you jump slightly higher... except frostees in D1 were literally better in every way.

I just got the nightstalker unlocked yesterday, its pretty fun. Still leveling it up though. Sticking with gunslinger for now. Its the GOAT for me. Chain of woe and golden gun is sooo good. I just cant give up that fast reload.

at lvl 19 (194) now! found the cracked talisman for my third warlock subclass so just waiting on that unlocking by doing events and stuff.
i actually love this game so much right now. i'm having way more fun with it compared to Destiny 1. my biggest annoyance so far is not having a sparrow and having to run/jump everywhere. hopefully i get one soon.
all vendors i've found so i have gave them tokens but now it they all say i need to wait until lvl 20 to get an engram and to, i assume, further level them up. should i feel free to just redeem them whenever i can or should i hold on to them until i get a higher power level? i heard that's the best way to level up to max power or something.

Yeah that area was fuckin great. Amazing use of color.
As for nightstalker, use the single shot bow for PVE unless you're using it all on a boss. They buffed it so you can use it more than 3 times and each additional strike does extra damage. Unfortunately I believe they nerfed the multishot bow for PVP, I've hit people with it and they live with a sliver of health, which blows my mind considering how hard it is to aim and with how much deadlier they made some of the supers.
are you here to troll? Ive never seen so much hyperbole over an hour of playing. Jesus christ, play something else if its such a burden.
