First Nightstalker PvP match. First use of the super on a group. First Slayer with a Nighstalker.

This gonna be good. I used the tether damage is shared/kills explode perk.

That looks incredible.


Got Hawkmoon as well from Rahool's green engram, which leaves 4th Horseman (and 2 of the Queen's) as the last Year 1 exotics. Not as exciting though, now that the gun has been brought down.
 
Turned in all my bounties with focused light and hit 40 instantly. Leveled New Monarchy about 6 times and got the new ship. Finished the story at 237 light, went to do the 260 heroic strike since it said exotic armor upgrade. Took 3 hours to beat (I was the highest level 23 under, and it was Dust Palace and no one understood elemental types). Got a legendary sniper and some trash class items.

Finished for now at 246 light after ranking vanguard again.
 
Nope, marks per game are gone. So far I have 21 marks from dismantling a couple Legendaries and doing the Daily Crucible. But I could've gotten those 21 marks yesterday after like 4 games.

I am not seeing how this new mark system is an upgrade unless it'll be raining Legendaries all week.

Wow... That's interesting. And I dismantled all my legendary items after the update for motes of light...

Ghaleon has asked that general discussion of the new content and the welcoming/guidance of new players take place there, yes.
Ha. I was wondering where everyone was. Only noticed a couple of regulars. Poor Lnkn is over there trying his best lol
 
Wow that blows big time. I've seen you get marks for the heroic strike playlist, I really hope that is something you can continuously farm all day long. If that's once also then I don't know what to say.

I think they said it was something stupid like "the first three" heroic strikes you do in a week.

Sadly my friend didn't get his physical TTK copy in the mail today, so I'll wait till tomorrow until I play.
We went through all of Vanilla together and waited on the other, so i'm not gonna go ahead on TTK now, we've both been too hyped for it.

Nice. Question, that first guy you shot could have shot you back, no? Is there a cooldown period after tether where you can't shoot?

Has anyone been able to get the Taken leutinent/captains to spawn for the Taken assault: earth bounty? Been hanging out with a fireteam for over an hour and still no sightings.

If that's the case then it really seems like there will be jack shit to do in this game now.

Will wait a few days before getting too upset though as hopefully we are just missing some things at the moment.
 
Finished one story on my warlock at 233 light but that was due to pumping ammo/armour into DO for rank ups, without that I'd be at 213

Initial thoughts and no doubt I'm in a minority of one but the whole things a mess, quest for this quest for that, wheres the progression/marks

I've begun to post some as well. I do feel that it may unfortunately serve largely as an outlet for complaints but I have been able to provide a bit of actual help through PMs and such so that's good.

Gotta do a whole bunch of actual work now though, so I'll be going dark for a while :(
 
I'm gonna repost this here, because the thread on the Gaming side is going a bit too fast.

Anyone have access to their Suros weapons yet? I have the emblem and shader, but I'm not being prompted about the weaponry. Also, I'm a bit peeved that I missed out on getting the Fixer cloak that I wanted for my Hunter. I only needed one more day of it being available, and I'd have been able to buy it. What are the chances of it popping up elsewhere? It was previously a Legendary Class Item that Cayde-6 sold. I never saw it anywhere else.

I haven't had the chance to start the story, mostly because I only played for half and hour before work.

I loved the story. The economy is the same two steps forward one step back as always. Except on the one step back someone tripped and fell down this time.

Mark drought is real.
 
Man, if the package reward legendaries don't have the same att/def ratings as the ones you can buy from the same vendor you got the package from....then this legendary mark situation is going to go from annoying to game breaking.

Vanguard quartermaster. Yes. The common weapons. I know. Total disappointment.

I don't know how you purchased the game, but I got a specific code for the Suros pack. Be aware either way, they are very basic weapons that will be rapidly outclassed as you play (if you haven't already).

Pre-TTK class items may pop out of Legendary class item engrams, but we don't know for sure yet.

They dont. Defense on the package ones seems to be lower, mostly around 240-250 for me. Vendor ones are 280. I think random legendaries in the world will last until you have full vendor, full vendor leads to raid, full raid leads to hard mode raid gear.

Wait, the Fixer Cloak is gone now?

I may be wrong but I'm guessing that their new progression design is based on RNG drops rather than purchasing. Marks are rare and items are expensive, but drops seem to be way more generous than year 1.
 
I had trouble here too. Go stand on the other platform to the left of you and somehow you can trigger a wave of energy or something that highlights where the platforms will be. I think it might be to do with popping your ghost out but not 100%. It was really clunky for me but I got it in the end.

So I'm excited to not really get all the new systems in place, even if we had 1 week to try to understand the new systems.

Is there a checklist we should do before starting TTK content as a lvl 34 guardian who played last week?

Also, I feel I'm losing content just by living somewhere where the red bull codes cannot be obtained other than in ebay. ._.
