Destiny 2 |OT| Here We Go Again

Most people don't play the game as much as the majority of Gaffers do, for one.
Other is for design purposes and normal leveling is generally used more for story progression than anything.
I wonder if 6 ratkings in the raid will be op
Someone theorized :
1 person - 100% damage - 140 damage per shot
2 people - 214% damage - 300 damage per shot
3 people - 285% damage - 400 damage per shot
4 people ~ 330% damage ~ 460 damage per shot
5 people ~ 358% damage ~ 500 damage per shot
6 people ~ 375% damage ~ 525 damage per shot
Based on some anecdotal evidence of 3 people measurements

You can't really, well not without really planning, but with heroic nightfall and raids hitting that level cap won't be an easy thing to do
Can't wait for Datto's scientific analysis
I fully expect the bonus to cap at 3. Don't ask me why
But yeah, either rat king (depending on bonus) or merciless, probably.
We'll know soon enough. Can't wait for the raid
Oh ok, I had a friend who bought it yesterday and is already level 20. I just thought it was a strange design choice
Light level is what really matters.

Looking for one to do the Rat King NF on psn.
Yeah, that's what he said, but why not just skip the levelling all together and just make it about light level and loot then? Skip the pointless hurdle of levelling up to 20

Shoulder charge has an AOE on impact now.

!!!
thinking infusing it into the nameless midnight.
now the question is should I infuse it....

The PL of engrams is set when you pick them up. It's best to open them straight away.
Why? I feel like it's overrated. You actually need to be within close proximity for the buff to even occur.
Feel like I'd rather use my exotic weapon slot on Merciless for DPS.

Destiny is played by a looooot of people, I imagine in some ways it's an accessibility thing to ease players into the light system through a more traditional progression. It also allows for unlocking abilities with skill points and level gates, something that would be more difficult with a 'light-level-only' system because the number fluctuates based on gear equipped.
how you figure
Xur should be a bro next week and offer Vigilance Wing.
What are everyone's thoughts on the Daniel Wardcliff? Some people like to call it the next Gjallarhorn, but I'm just not seeing it. Seems to be more of a mob slayer than a destroy everything that exists that is the Gjallarhorn. And we got plenty of ways to kill mobs between our guns and supers.

People assuming that since the buff stacks up to 6x that it'll melt in the Raid. But having to be in close proximity is a deal breaker really, the drop off is not far at all. And it's still a Sidearm at the end of the day. Seems more like a novelty than anything to me.
Happy to be proven wrong but yeah.
Ah, that makes sense
Changing subjects though, I have a very noob question. I've noticed that one of the upgrades for hunter (the second button map for O, O) instantly "recharges" my melee, but... what melee? It seems to be infinite for me? I can stab dudes in the face numerous times in a row. I am obviously missing something though. Can someone help this poor noob out
Back in Vanilla Destiny when it was about levels,alot of people couldn't find a group to raid because there are too many rampant douchebags on LFG who will only want people who are level 30 hence the forever 29 meme. So in the end Bungie scrap it and introduced lights levels in TTK where light level matters the most and the level is used to mask your light level so as to prevent situations like this. It was pointless but it made some leeway as being underlevel now doesn't provide you severe disadvantages unlike Vanilla Destiny.

There's an ability melee that does additional elemental damage. It's the middle rechargeable ability next to your grenade charge. You can always standard melee but it doesn't do the elemental damage unless it's charged.

It will infuse at -5 so it will be 284 PL, just in case you didn't know. I put a 294 into a Nameless Midnight today and got it to only 289 due to the +Attack Mod on the Mida.
Ditto.
I think it was Shaxx who seemed to be giving me a free Ghost. I took about 5 before I realised.
I'd been purposefully saving all of my shards for Xur too :'(
FML.

Flashless at the Golden Globes
So i beat the game yesterday and read some guides in op that said don't do any activities that give legendary awards until level 260 which is the soft cap for blues.
But then i heard that the tokens on planets have a soft cap of 265. I am 244 now and kind of tired of hunting for blues by doing public events, lost sectors and adventure missions.
Is it ok to turn in my 250 or so edz and titan tokens or should i wait till i hit 260?
I haven't done any of the post game missions or strikes yet. Will that be enough to push me from 265 to 280?

if what Dodecagon said was true, then the weapon may be very powerful and we all know Raid requires the most powerful weapons
i know that it's range is not that good, but it's fast and deals a lot of damage even when i'm playing alone, if 6 players means more than triple the damage, then it's gonna be Overpowered

I know it's weird, but I'm glad they left some game modes out of Guided Games: keeps the community cranking along better IMO (well, there is no GG yet anyways, but you get what I mean haha).
In other news, can someone riddle me this:
Drops in the field (blues) are in the same boat as decrypting engrams with Rahool et al eh? aka I don't have to be my highest power level equipped at any stage in the game to get the right drops eh?
Thanks based DGAF.

You can turn them in whenever you want. These guides were for power levelling to be raid ready as soon as it drops. And now we know the Raid is going to only be 260-280 PL anyway...

yeah i know...did it anyway!!! then used some 267 scout rifle and now got a 273 MIDA.
do you factions rewards slowly go up as you level them? Zavala and others are now giving me 269 gear.
Thank you for the explanation, that makes a lot of sense now and I do remember hearing about it
Ah! I don't have it yet, that's why
Thanks for the quick and extensive replies! What they say is true, the GAF Destiny community is great.
Why?level up the progress bar and get an engrams. Then hope for the best? I got the entire set...
Same shit happened to me yesterday at Tyra. Thought she was giving me Drang again for some reason, and lost some shards on it. Sitting here wishing that Xur has everything on discount this week.
I can't say I do get what you mean by "cranking along better".

It seriously depresses the fuck out of me that I can't use Ward of Dawn without being totally useless in the orb department. No more gift of the void, no more gift of light for force barrier. Fuck me.
