272 now and feeling raid ish ready, just need a scout rifle to infuse my Skyburner with as I have a +5 mod to put in it straight away, and set!

Skyburner will be godly in that raid for the adds. Merciless for the bosses.

Swapping in and out exotics sucks. Wish we could hotfix loadouts.
 
Man, I hopped into the Raid solo just to get an impression of the new environment, and boy, from minute one that thing makes a great impression. Looking forward to using another Guided Games token this weekend to give it a go.

Oh, and what are the trials going to be?
 
Disappointed so far.

Made it to
the baths
but couldn't get our shit together to take down all of the
incense thingies
.

But seriously,
bathers
?!?!

So far, doesn't feel like I'm raiding anything.

We got past that part in about an hour total. Thought it was pretty good.

Had to bail on my team at the next part though and they continued without me.

Up for continuing now (I presume i have a checkpoint), if anyone is game?

Would prefer people who haven't finished it but would settle for people who don't mind nor rushing.
 
The story is objectively worse than where destiny was after the new quest system. Every quest step had flavour text, there were voiced intros while flying to the destination, and if you wanted more story the grimoire was an option. What does Destiny 2 have? Some longer cutscenes of meaningless fluff. The mystery is completely gone. The fucking strikes have absolutely no context to them now. You teleport into a location and there is a text objective to follow with some voiced quips. Why is the strike called Arms Dealer? Who the fuck is this dude and why should I care about killing him? It's trash tier storytelling and this time there is no grimoire to pick up the slack.
 
Raid reward question:

Can you replay the raid on the same character and still get tokens to use at the raid vendor?

Is it possible that I got 3 yesterday from the chest on the way to the Spoiler?

I have a stack of 3 that shows as classified on my phone.

EDIT: Sorry, meant to spoiler tag.

Yes, pretty sure that's where I got them.
Edit: why does quoting spoiler tags on mobile turn them into bold tags?
Oh, because they weren't spoiler tags when I quoted, haha
 
Slightly late compared to most in this thread and just making my way through the campaign over the last couple nights (only get a few hours to play on weeknights).

Cayde's "I don't have time explain" line was perfectly placed.

First time arriving at "Utopia" on Titan and the intros to Nessus and Io were both jaw dropping moments - the environments in this game are incredible (really can't wait to see these in 1440p 100+ fps next month). Traversing deeper in to the hive ship on Titan was one of the best moments so far.

I'm really liking Failsafe as an NPC too, although the malfunctioning AI behavior is too close to Warframe's Ordis to be a coincidence. Don't mean that as a negative, I'm sure both dev teams play each others games.

The campaign overall is just so far ahead of the first game and I haven't even touched any of the Adventures on Nessus or Io, or completed all of them on Titan.

Also got the Sunshot which is incredibly fun to use in PVE. Crispy handling + explosions = fun.
 
I will put it oj once I know what gear to do so lol dont wanna waste it

Gonna put it on this default vanguard Scout I always had, but never knew it was good.

Seems like most of the streamers were using it in the Raid yesterday.

I drops
after the first encounter/puzzle
so shouldn't be too hard to get week on week, for each character.

Got it as one of my first legendaries and have never put it down since. It's a great scout rifle if you're into them. Looks fantastic with a number of other shaders too. Will post the one I was rocking for awhile with it, was black metallic green and white. Really nice lighting when used.
 
Grrr, I really don't like how primitive the clan tools are. The membership limit is still 100, which means if you have a lot of people who want to play on PSN/XB1 and PC that cuts it down to 50 people. There is zero way I can tell to quickly spot who isn't logging in or playing anymore, you have to almost do detective work and dig into each persons history to see if they still want to play.

Why implement all these clan banner and guided game features if the clan limit is still 100, across all 3 platforms :(

Nameless midnight? Thats a great gun for me so far, very Hung Jury-ish. I thought more people would be using Skyburners Annex though given the +cabal damage modifiers, although then you couldn't use merciless as your exotic slot.
 
The best thing of all is that I don't miss Overwatch one bit (although I'll probably return in a couple of weeks or with the next patch). Feels good not having to care about throwers or leavers :P

I'm just avoiding Overwatch until I'm done the campaign/adventures/lost sectors and all that because I know my eyes will die going from 144hz to 30.

Really wish I could slam my clan banner into the ground at will. Like after a public event, raid, strike completion etc.

When I got the clan banner I actually thought that would be a given. Like of course I'd be able to display it. How do I do it. I can't? WTF.
 
I would love to take part in guided games Nightfall, but I saw that microphone is required and I can not talk when I would actually have the time playing because the living room is next to the bedroom where my wife and the newborn are sleeping. – Thin walls.

DGAF, do you think it's ok to join guided games without mic and being able to talk?

Maybe nightfall. Communication is incredibly essential in raids though and you would be hard pressed to make that work then. There are some nice sherpas willing to do it still.

I would look for people here on GAF and tell them that you can´t use a mic before.

Yeh, especially when you see the Public Event banners around. Would happily give up my emote slot for it.

yeah so would I. I would use it to make people extra salty in the crucible.
 
Love seeing pics of other guardians! Fashion destiny 4 life!



On a side note, I fucking hate the new jump boots (ST0MP-E55). The world wasn't made for these. Dieing left and right from bumping head on invisible wall. Just add a regular jump like the bones!!!!

XBOX or PSN? What time zone & when were you wanting to run the Nightfall? If our schedules match up, I'd be happy to help you through it so you don't have to worry about guided games.
no mic required :)
