Yes, there's a ton to do and it's really fun.
I have to say, the campaign execution felt much, much more disjointed than anything we have had since vanilla. The narrative worked, but those fades to black, jumps of millions of miles into the room of other actors, and some obviously missing transition scenes got to me.
Kept pulling me out of the fantastic missions.
While I wish our Guardian spoke, its hard to get tone right when you have a hundred main character Guardians who all talk the same but are wildly different, either based on the player who controls them or even their engagement with the story. Some Guardians are super serious, some Guardians are insane, and some Guardians just want to dance.
And then, once our Guardian speaks, there's a weird lack of them when they dont speak (kind of like Ghost in the Dark Below and House of Wolves DLC)
Its weird because Silent Protagonist might not even be the right term in this case, theres an acknowledgement that we are our characters, that they do talk but we dont hear it, and an inability to really capture our individual personalities with one of the six voice actors from the original.

Did you read the same post as me? He explained how.
Had a really productive session early this morning! Got a more powerful version of the Phillips-B, a submachine gun I really love. Got to level 17. Stumbled upon the Nightwalker artifact!!! Woo!!! Now gotta kill dudes in public events. Also gotta build up that reputation with Ashen. Almost there.
I really love my Sunshot. Is there a limit to how many times you can infuse a weapon? How do you infuse something? Can you only infuse exotics/legendaries with other exotics and legendaries?

Yes, to a point. Token vendors engram scales up all the way to 265. They can give 270+ gear, but it does require that you have closer to 280 PL at that point.
Their gear is still valuable as you can scrap it all for Gunsmith parts for Gunsmith rep so that is something to keep in mind.

Are strikes the only way to get Vanguard Tokens?
Same. I was having big lag issues due to a faulty wireless router, so I attributed some of the weird black screens and missing cutscenes to that initially. It pretty obvious that large parts of this game were rushed.
Nope, sunshot was my first exotic. It's now my best at 287. It's so good it's borderline broken; the explode on death perk is amazing for clearing out packs.

Pretty sure it is. And you get 6 per run I think (that's what i've gotten from all the ones I've done)
- One mod / item. Ghost doesn't have mod slot
- Item can take only mods for its type (leg mod to pants, kinetic mod to kinetic weapon...)
- Legendary mods are goal as they give +5 to Power Level
- Mods can't be removed from gear
- Replacing mod destroys old one
- If you infuse Armor 1 with Armor 2 that has mod then that mod is lost in process
- You can turn Rare mods to Legendary ones at Gunsmith with 3:1 ratio at PL 280
- Gear mods are perfect glimmer sink
Check meditations from Ikora too, could give some.
I think Bungie flagged my account as a 14 week forever 29 from Destiny 1. These were from 3 of my first four bright engrams, including the three gifts from Tess.

Just starting but do we not have choice of subclass anymore? We have to play with what the game forces you to start as? Not a fan of this starting subclass

I couldn't find anything. It was like it was in the cliff but I couldn't find an entrance.
It was definitely oriental music
Ive a million questions about stuff as a first timer but I guess Ill follow the campaign and see if I can figure any of the stuff out by the time Im lvl20. But I do have to ask: If I decide to do whatever quest or challenge that comes to my way or decide to spend whatever currency on something random, is there a chance I end up doing something Im really gonna regret later on? Im fine if my progress slows down a bit. I just feel like playing the game without the stress of minmaxing from the very beginning.
As you progress story and in levels you unlock rest subs.
Duuuuude it is, isn't it? It's so fucking amazing. It makes me wish Gunslinger still had that perk where if you shot dudes with the golden gun they'd explode, but this is an almost-as-good substitute. Can't wait to get that more powerful.
Also just realized it's Nightstalker not Nightwalker lol.
You'll have the other two before you're done with the campaign.
Yo, as much as I agree Oryx was the better villain, I dont know that the "average gamer" really engaged with the Books of Sorrow and without that added context it becomes pick your favorite flavor of Saturday morning cartoon villain.
Likewise, with the different races, there is just naturally going to be a flavor your gravitate towards more; I totally get the love for Lovecraftian worm gods, though I could see how some people might engage more with the mindlessly homocidal Vex or militaristic Cabal for similar reasons.
I think the raid will give you a lot more of what you're looking for, since we know the author who wrote The Books of Sorrow at least wrote some similar stuff for the the exiled Cabal Emperor, and that the whole raid revolves around him and his world-devouring ship. Give it until raid stuff starts coming out and we see what kind of lore shit is attached to the equipment - I have a feeling you'll dig it a lot more than Ghaul's militaristic campaign.
What are Vanguard Tokens for?
You turn them in to Zavala and he gives you stuff.
How do you do this? Do you have to be at power 280?
Not true. It's a drop so doesn't mean you will get it before you finish the story. I didn't get the Titan sunbreaker subclass till after I finished the story.
Save shaders and mods for purple loot later. I'd also not turn in / rank up factions untill you are approaching 250 light level, since you can get there easily just playing. Save purple's that feel good to you in your vault.
Other than that, have fun and don't worry.
Glimmer is meant to be spent. Use it to buy blue and green early to level light level faster.
Weird.
It's probably best to wait!
I put that shader on my MIDA Mini-Tool. It looks so cool.
Well, I'm headed into Florida for vacation. Hope the storm doesn't swing west!
Made it to 243 before leaving. Brought the console but not sure how much I'll get to play. Looking forward to watching DGAF raid impressions.
This game is a triumph so far for Bungie and I've already had so many great moments with friends. So excited for the weeks, months, and years to come.

To Rank up your vanguard for example Zavala
I literally just got it as i read this post.
No you won't do anything you will regret. Unless you're power leveling to be raid ready by Wednesday, you can't screw anything up. And even if you are power leveling, you can't screw up anything major, there is always ways to level up. Just play how you want, get new weapons and rewards and enjoy them.

So what's the wise thing to spend glimmer on?
Gear Mods
It was completely freaking out for me in the farm. Connecting to servers messages every few seconds.
Ahh.. good luck Guardian...?
I've never really played a Destiny game before.
I picked a Warlock and I've just unlocked the void walker. But on voidwalker and dayblade (or whatever it's called) there are 'attunements'.
Do I have to pick an attunement and stick with it, or can I level them all up and swap between them as I can with voidwalker and daywalker?
It feels like it's assuming I've played before and understand how everything works.

By the time you hit 20, you will have enough upgrades points to open up everything.
Each subclass has two "Paths"; only one is active at a time but you can switch between them (and your grenade,jump and class ability) as you wish.
They're just bad at explaining unfortunately, all the subclass ability trees have changed drastically from the first game.
Once you upgrade them all you can switch between them whenever you want though.
You upgrade them both and can freely switch between them. the only thing is if you do switch all your cooldowns reset if you do it during anytime you have the cool down bars. also this is new to this game
