100+ hours and you know what I haven't seen? An exotic engram on the ground. I miss that.

Also not sending your Engrams to your other characters for them to earn stuff

Miss getting on a capped Guardian and sending all Engrams to lowest guy to get some stuff lol
Or unlock Loot on highest from lowest and send back Loot to lowest for infusion purposes

 

[Bold One]

Frankly a "Clan Battle" Crucible option would make a lot of sense. Have the clan teams matched up against each other, and incentivize it with unique loot.
You could even have Hawthorne, as the Clan Steward, be the announcer.

Lets clans still group together and reduces the amount steamrolling through Quickplay.

[BigJonsson]

I'm getting really bored after hitting a wall at 285 light lol

I haven't gotten a legendary or exotic from a chest in 3 days

I guess I have to try nightfall and raid and then wait for Tuesday

If u get an exotic from a strike chest and don’t stand close u will see it on ground

 

[jviggy43]

I hate that I have to play hide and seek with Oracle's to do the nightfall now. It's not fun or interesting.

Trying to learn the raid, and I’ve got a group of 4 so far. Two people willing to help show the ropes?

For the time being, just put whatever mods you can afford on all of your stuff that doesn't currently have one, to raise your level a bit. Optimizing with ideal mods and double stacking stuff to take advantage of certain builds is more of a long term goal you don't have to worry about at all yet.

Will do!!

Thanks!

Also thanks for the YouTube vid will watch

 

[cesariatic]

Any Xbox guardians wanna help me get a flawless? I'm not asking to be carried as I'm pretty decent at crucible and I'm willing to learn some new tricks and hopefully get better, but my usual crew can't seem to climb past 4 wins.

Leveling up an alt is way faster now anyway though. If it were any faster it would be a little too easy.

 

[Cornbread78]

Great opportunity, please read below raid vets:


So, Sat. night I'm going to get my first full raid clear. Here is my roadmap to completion in about 1 1/2 to 2 hours tops:

(not in specific order for this week)


To start:
I'll protect the

Spoiler

symbols

and probably die once or twice from shooting a rocket into a teammates back, but I'll keep all the ugly bastards away and get the yellow bars dead ASAP.


When we get to

Spoiler

dogs:

Spoiler

I will play follow the leader of a trained garden Sherpa carrying my orb with pride. I'll be responsible for the front right dog and we will murder all of them with 1 take in less than 15 mins with a 72 stack.

Repeat opening step


When we get to

Spoiler

lanterns:
I will start at top left and fire a rocket when we start to almost kill the big guy, a floater will take my place, I will run to the middle, grab the orb and take the bottom left spot. When the big guy appears again, I will fire another rocket to reduce his health and someone will come finish him off. repeat. When it's time to shoot to lantern, I will drop a heath spot in the middle and shoot use my storm callers to ruin the days of a bunch of useless adds.

repeat the above to finish this phase in about 15-20 mins..


Repeat opening step


When we get to the

Spoiler

Gauntlet, I will take cup top and axe top. I will help with adds to start, and rocket the yellow-bar to finish him off. Then, I will shoot mine, melee the guy, jump back on the platform, shoot axe top and repeat 3x.

Once the second phase starts, I will grab my orb and start running with everyone, but my warlock will die once the floors start dropping. Just leave me there , I have no shame and I will have faith you guys will finish the job correctly.

Less than 30 mins.


Repeat opening step, or we can go get some

Spoiler

chests first, then go back to Calus,

I'll just follow our chest sherpa, but be gentle with my miserable warlock jumping deaths along the pipes and sideways grates...

Spoiler

Calus:

Whelp, I have no experience here, but I've watched my clanmates 1 phase him a bunch of times now, just tell me what to shoot and what platform to go to and I will follow and keep on shooting. If I die, just leave me there so I can wallow in self pity until I get rezed and I resume shooting at what I need to.



I'd like to start around 10:30pm est, is there a pro team with multiple Sherpa's out there to carry me through this? 1 1/2 to 2 hours tops!


Thanks in advance to all applicants... You too can be a hero!

Don't forget about my proposition. I need 2 more to carry my ass

 

[Art Vandilay]

Haha what?? Why don’t you just play and learn how to do them? At the very least, you could watch YouTube videos. And why 1 1/2-2 hours?

Who was campaigning to get Hard Light out of all the exotics back?

I hate to say it but Supremacy has to go. It does not fit D2 PVP at all.

I've had so many games where the first crest that was picked up didn't not happen till minutes into the game. Or worse, people who simply refuse to pick up crests at all.

Either remove Supremacy or keep it in a 6v6 casual playlist with Control and Clash.

You can just join a group at the Calus checkpoint. You’d still need to know what to do when you get there.

The problem becomes once you clear the team they spawn right back and are able to claim the orbs because your team is now dead or running around doing whatever

It's probably the bottom of the barrel for the PvP in this game, which says a lot. Even if you're not 95% of the population and actually want to grab crests, it's impossible because every fight is a Mida teamshot and going for the crest is suicide.

Thanks man. But i did it. Usually i play with my clan. But no one is online tonight.
This was the first time i really hated pvp in D2. Not even going to bother doing it with my warlock. He is 305 anyway.

Wow the guided game should give you an audio signal when you get picked. You wait for 22 minutes and then if you happen to be looking away from the screen when you get picked then the offer times out in like 30 seconds. And then you have to que for another 22 minutes.

I’m waiting forever right now. Just want to do nightfall for Gods sake.

 

[Cornbread78]

Fuck Trials, that's all I gotta say. This is a massive waste of time and total BS


They need to create a winners and losers bracket because this is a major fucking turd

If you are still around and there is another. Let's do it.

 

[traveler]

It is funny to me seeing everyone complain about how everything is token based. There is functionally no downside to token systems, you just earn a reward after putting in X effort. The same as random drops were in old crucible or Iron Banner, but now you know you can work towards them. Token systems are in every way LESS RNG than the old ways to get actual upgrade gear (not counting vendor gear that quickly became lower than what you were using). Thing is, token systems are inherently less fun, no moment of excitement when you see you got a drop in that last IB game or other activity. People always say they want less RNG, but quickly realize that less RNG makes loot less exciting, and a healthy balance is better overall.



I'm finally getting the swing of Destiny 2 PvP and I've been at probably 50% win rate solo queueing against clans of 4. But my fucking god, are the games not WAY LESS FUN when a team of randoms is against a full 4 clan, win or lose. What's even more weird is when I queue with my brother we almost never get paired against a team of 4, but when I'm solo 1 in 3 matches is. I kind of wish Quickplay had a max team size of 2 to queue, or that they added another mode where that was a limit. Having to play a super sweaty match against 4 people all MIDAing a lane and teamshooting 1 in 3 matches solo queueing is just not that fun.

The token complaints are baffling to me because I still get drops on the same frequency as Vault of Glass gave when it launched, but I get tokens for my effort when I don't get a drop to ensure I don't walk away empty handed. It's a win win situation.

Should every boss fight ALWAYS give a drop? I thought everyone was more of the opinion the game doles out loot far too easily than not?

I can't think of a single situation where a player at all confident in their abilities would use guided games over any of the LFG websites or subreddits or some other method, especially for the nightfall. Basically just a slower version of that. Less effort I guess?

E: Just to clarify, I'm not saying anything about you as a player lol not sure if it came off that way. Just that I think guided games is a good option for low confidence players, since the expectation of the group is that they will "guide" someone, so a person who doesn't know a Nightfall/Raid can go in without knowing the content and not feel bad that they don't know it, because the nature of guided games is that they aren't expected to. Aside from that situation, GG is just too slow at matchmaking to be worth it, you can find a NF group on most LFG sites in under 10 minutes.

This is an important point. Because of no random rolls, you essentially need to get every piece of loot ONCE in this game and you are DONE FOREVER. Honestly, I haven't even played that long and I have every possible weapon and armor piece from Nessus tokens, and without random rolls (and with engrams always being slightly below your current light) there is basically very little to gain for the entirety of Destiny 2 now for me from those tokens. The lack of random perks and high frequency of loot is good for the "always searching for the perfect roll and never getting it" but really hurts the "something to look forward to" aspect.

Man why does every Titan Mark seem to have some weird aspect of it that isn't colored by shaders. Haven't had this problem with Hunter Cloaks or Warlock Bonds, but basically every Titan Mark I get doesn't work with my set because it has some random blue or orange spot on it that is unaffected by whatever shader I select.

Are you playing with FOTM weapons? MIDA/Uriel or Last Hope etc.? I wasn't doing great and I wasn't using that loadout because I didn't wanna be yet another cog in the machine, then I switched and suddenly was doing a LOT better. Unfortunately they turn out to be the meta for a reason...

Fucking Last Hope, that things time to kill is ridiculous. I feel like I'm cheating when I use it.

I feel like Iam above average along with another but the other 2 we play with are just average on quick play and competitive we mostly win by huge margins but trials it's a massacre. I know it's not a popular opinion but I feel like trials should be opened up to matchmaking only because bungie makes it seem like trials is for everyone not just destiny elite. Some people just can't get good enough to even sniff the rewards I have accepted my no wins and probably won't touch it again lol. Bring on the iron banner hopefully I have a chance

Yep absolutely. There are still simple as hell things they need to fix asap, that being one. Another is explaining what stuff is or does or how to use it. I dont think we need some full blown tutorials or any garbage like that but just a screen where I can look and see wtf a mod is and how they work, or what the hell are these weird planetary things are that I'm grabbing and things like that.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

I think the consensus is recovery first then resilience and mobility is really meh unless you want to use it in pvp for strafing faster. I'm just going to try to max out recovery and put the rest in resilience and not care really at all about my mobility.

I would (try to) help but Im busy right now. Will probably be trying in a couple hours. Do you know where all anomolies are? If not I'd watch a video. I know the first few rooms locations but after that I know I'd just wander around wasting too much time looking for them to be of any actual help. So I'll be watching a video a few times through before playing.
