Destiny 2 |OT| Here We Go Again

Really strong? Yes. Really strong compared to D1? No.

Destiny has always had an extremely high amount of AA... I wish they'd tune down the AA some and in return slightly lower the recoil and/or flinch of the weapons to balance it out but that's not happening.

To be honest, better having "too much" AA than not enough.

With Halo 5, we experienced a FPS game on console with literally no Aim Assist at all, or really not a lot, and a high bullet magnetism, and it doesn't feel pleasing to play, the aim feel off and not responsive.

I know too much Aim Assist can be a bad thing, but Destiny feels really good thanks to this.

I have a feeling there's going to be more competition with the factions. Maybe you pledge loyalty for a season and rep totals at the end determine your rewards.

Seasons would be pretty cool actually, but I'm worrying Bungie would affiliate this to "Ranked" and not putting it. :/

It's likely just that, but I'd imagine they revamped a bit how these particular factions work compared to Destiny 1. I'd say that, in addition to the armor and weapons, they come a long with milestones, quests and daily challenges.

My one hope is that their armor is not just a new skin for existing armor in the game. That was always an issue with Destiny 1. I recall seeing a Dead Orbit cloak in one of the trailers that looked different than what's in the current selection.

I agree, hope each factions have unique and proper armors/weapons than just different skins applied to them. Actually, I didn't see too much duplicate weapons for now, so I hope it will keep the same track with the factions. Like having a goal to follow a different factions with each character we own.
 
Man the NF is really hard, mainly because there's a few sections where its a complete waste of time to fight enemies but you have to get past them and its basically a contra bullet storm.

Now that's a sexy Warlock. I don't have the balls to apply the shader to every piece of armor since I'm not sure what I'm keeping. Feel like I've already made that mistake early on.

I'm burning all of my Bright Dust on that shader when it is available.
 
Played the game straight through without the guide, and doing all milestones, and currently at 270 (with a 284 MIDA and 273 MIDA mini equipped). Blues are also now dropping at 263. Faction legendaries are capped at 265 though.
 
So I'm stuck at light level 267. All blues drop at 260, and most purples drop at 265 and most exotics drop at 270 for me. I had two purples drop at 270 because they already had a mod attached and only one exotic dropped at 273. I've been farming public events like crazy for exotics and have gotten a solid amount, but all but one were 270. How am I supposed to get higher level stuff? I must have turned in 4-5 exotic engrams in the last 24 hours and they all were 270.
 
I really should put more time into my wooflock I love how they look and function in 2... but my titan is so far ahead now power lv wise I gotta keept at it lol.

You need to do the World Quests (Blue marker) that unlock post campaign. Completing them unlocks exotic quests that drop at much higher power than exotic engrams will and should bump you up.
 
Talking about least favourite planets, the most disappointing aspect of Titan is that it lacks that distinct yellow/brown/orange hue you see from the probe that landed on its surface and the sky isn't just a haze. Less interesting for the majority sure but I felt the same wat with their interpretation of Venus in Dedtiny 1.

On the other hand I feel like they nailed Io.
 
Am I arcstriding wrong in the crucible or something? Everytime I pop my super and run up to someone I immediately get killed. I've tried using B to do some flips and have also tried sprinting a couple times to get closer but nothing seems to work.

Any advice for an arcstriding noob?

No, it just sucks in general. You can't close the gap for your life.
 
Thanks for this.

I've another question:

Say you level up your clan milestone and Hawthorn wants to give you a powerful engram.

Do I not take it until I'm 265+? Or do they not stack?

Like, can I have several vendor engrams queued up?


Quoting myself cause I still don't know the answer to these questions.
 
You can buy a consumable from Tess in the tower that increases loot chance for 50 bright powder (or whatever it's called).

I assume this is the 3oC replacement from D1... Tried it out the other night while farming PE's and two of us received exotic engrams.

Basically the Traveler terraformed all these worlds/moons. Just gotta let that aspect go. Io probably would've looked even more different, but it didn't finish there.
 
Currently stuck at 271 got lucky with a free legendary engrams that had legendary mods but rares are capping out at 264 and faction rewards are capped at 265. Looks like I need the weekly milestone engrams.

Also might help if I find a new clan. Clan I was with never came back to the game so I'm flying solo atm

It's lore explained that the Traveler terrformed everything. Developmentwise, they make locations first and then figure out where they "go" later, and have always done that since the Halo days.
 
Question that's likely to generate unfortunate answers.

What happens when I dismantle the important items / weapons from Exotic Questlines?

Am I shit outta luck?
 
Been wanting a Vigilance Wing for awhile now. Booted up the game yesterday after work and decided to do an Adventure in the EDZ. Couldn't believe it when an Exotic Engram dropped, but was even more shocked when it decrypted to the Vigilance Wing. Such a great looking Pulse and it melts in PVP.
 
Anyone want to run nightfall? I'm running solo, 249 Titan on ps4.

I've done most of the weekly stuff otherwise, running around doing patrols and public events is still great fun though.

I'm trying to do the Rat king quest. But my patrols aren't registering? Does everyone need to be on the same step? If so I need help lol

I'm sat on 271 too, weapons are 278 / 280 but my chest arms and titan mark are all holding me back, i just wanna reach 280 so i can start crafting my own damage mods! I've been stockpiling all these blues with my excess glimmer waiting.
 
Just finished the campaign and have hit max level.

What's the consensus regarding endgame priorities? What should I be focusing on? Little bit of everything - strikes, public events, patrols, adventures, etc?
 
How do I start a "Patrol" mission in the EDZ? Ive got a milestone for Patrols but dont know how to find them lol, just see adventures on the map. Im at 220 atm

We are looking for more people. You on psn?

Though, several of the planets clearly show a theme at least inspired by their actual locations.

But yeah, the terraforming really made an impact on several of the worlds. Venus, Nessus and Titan look the most terraformed, while mars, the moon, and Io look the least. Mercury is a giant rubics cube, who knows what it looked like before.

But wow is Io amazing. Something about the colors being so true to life, compared with the massive visage of Jupiter dominating the sky, it's so striking. Great music too.
 
I honestly enjoy the new crucible set up but holy shit Bungie with the scoring limits. What is with the length of them? They're too fucking long in both quickplay and competitive.

So to be clear, everything I read was how you need to wait until 265 to do those quests so you get max benefit, but ultimately they reset every week right? So waiting was just for the purpose of leveling up as much as you could this week? I'm 233 and have some of them but wasn't going to dunk them but ultimately it won't matter if I don't care about maxing out this week, right?

I'm so Fucking confused by this mechanic lol

The exotic quests don’t reset, no. If you’re not power leveling to be max before the Raid drops then you don’t need to worry.
