Sitting here at McDonalds thinking of Dersternergh.

 

[AmateurHour212]

Can someone help me understand what's going on with light levels?

Gear increases my light level
Getting XP increases my light level

So I could grind to the light cap?

XP doesn't increase light. That bar you see at the bottom is a "mote progression" bar... confusing, I know.

Gear is all that can increase light.

 

[Afrocious]

There isn't anything to shoot. Going to wipe and try again.

I had to look for the first set. After I shot it, he warped in and the fight became hide and seek.

 

[zewone]

That sounds better though. Last Word beating scouts and pulses was a design problem and part of why the top 3 primary guns were mostly the same. I know because I primarily used those guns and eventually gave up in favor of Last Word/Thorn due to ridiculous snipe distance

More balanced, sure.

Better? I guess that's if you're having fun with the new meta. To me, PVP isn't as fun anymore.

Blink Shotgun wasn't touched in any meaningful way. Shotguns still kill at crazy range.

Sniper rifles aim assist turned way up in 2.0, super lame now.

 

[kiguel182]

So, how do I do the Remnants of Darkness quest? I did a bunch of patrols but no high target enemies showed up. What am I doing wrong?

 

[Paertan]

OK so just hit 254 and wanna do Heroic Daily. Anyone in? Add Paertan on psn

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

Oh, bummer. I hope it's up on the weekend, I had a lot more fun with it than expected.

that sounds dare I say potentially farmable

Is farming bad if it's enjoyable? The new strikes are fun, and the number of strikes in the playlist is great variety. This is good farming, not shoot at a cave for hours farming.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

I'm looking to do it now if you're interested.

Can I add you and can we try later? In a group with buddies trying to get some quests done.

Good day today

Level 283, exotic dead orbit cloak, new alpha lupi chest.

The dead orbit cloak looks very good.

 

[Deku Tree]

So are the daily Public event gold packages gone now? I did two PE today and gone none.

Wow! How'd you get to 283?!

What is the unique DO spawn animation that comes with the cloak?

I'm doing a lfg group right now. When that inevitably fails I'd be down.

 

[KxoZz]

Got the 'No Puppet, I' emblem from the Bond Brothers. Looks awesome.

 

[Deku Tree]

Does the weekly and the NF still give vanguard and faction rep like before?

 

[Kssio_Aug]

How do I check in-game the Clans I'm in?

Haha. Fair enough.

Farmable you say? The Roc-Man Rises. Deshi basara.

 

[Afrocious]

I might be off-base about this, but I feel you're at the mercy of RNGesus once you're between 200 and 240 light.

 

[X-Frame]

Is the Weekly Heroic Strike doable when I'm about 253 Light?

 

[Kadey]

Thanks for the help Hedera and Ocean.

Looks like the higher level shield bros strike is for the shotgun. Just killed both with shotgun on normal and the quest did not complete.

 

[HunRevan]

Hmm. Should I just dismantle the Year 1 raid gear and legendary weapons? (not gonna dismantle Fatebringer tho).

 

[Deku Tree]

I might be off-base about this, but I feel you're at the mercy of RNGesus once you're between 200 and 240 light.

No your not. Read the "to do" posts on the destiny sub Reddit. There are still a lot of quests to do that give higher level items, and the new smart loot system makes the RNG not really that RNG.

 

[Jinjo]

Hmm. Should I just dismantle the Year 1 raid gear and legendary weapons? (not gonna dismantle Fatebringer tho).

No. You never know if they're gonna pull another HoW on us at the end of year two.

 

[Marvel]

283!? I'm only 255.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

283!? I'm only 255.

280 here. It's becoming a 1 light by 1 light grind lol

 

[Falifax]

Yup, gotta do the Level 42 Strike. I'm 286 Light so I'd like to know if it's worth a try at that level.

 

[Marvel]

Damn lol

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Nah, he's right. You still have to hope your drops are going to have higher defense/attack values. For me, this has not been the case. Currently at 232.

 

[HunRevan]

No. You never know if they're gonna pull another HoW on us at the end of year two.

Yeah. Thats what I m kinda expecting. But running out of place haha.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

People that are 290 already are taking all the fun out of it.

 

[Hedera]

Thank you both. Actually got to do 3 of the new strikes for the first time too.

Seems like the way to go to get better light stuff is the Vanguard strikes.

[westtrade]

Did any one upgrade the strangers rifle? If so, how is it?

 

[LordofPwn]

so, so many quests... so much i want to find and do.

and weekly crucible bounty quests?, how do you find and do them?

 

[Marvel]

How come?

 

[Deku Tree]

Nah, he's right. You still have to hope your drops are going to have higher defense/attack values. For me, this has not been the case. Currently at 232.

There are still lots of quests that give guaranteed higher value stuff 280/290 once you finish them. And the smart RNG usually gives you stuff in the slot you need that's higher than what your wearing.

 

[DrROBschiz]

so, so many quests... so much i want to find and do.

Head to your neighborhood Shaxx dealer

 

[bobbyrawlins]

The Petra "kill the champions or whatever" quest is so damn boring. More boring than the VIP farming quest.

 

[LiK]

can't help but feel the Stranger's Rifle should somehow be able to upgrade to an Exotic.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

Is the Weekly Heroic Strike doable when I'm about 253 Light?

Yes. What I've noticed is every 10 light is the equivalent of being one level below in the old system (could be wrong). So at 253 you are less than 1 level underleveled.

 

[X-Frame]

I assume we have to complete the entire newbie Crucible questline. I am still doing it.

 

[The Lamonster]

Do you have to be level 40 to start the Red Bull quest?

You misread my post! I didn't mean it in a bad way. I enjoyed running Dragon Strikes for hours on end.

I was saying it because there's been a lot of controversy with regard to the gating of Legendary Marks, and it sounds like that will actually be a halfway decent farm for them.

 

[Lnkn52]

We have one spot open for Venus Taken Champion, PSN Lnkn52

 

[DrROBschiz]

Yes. What I've noticed is every 10 light is the equivalent of being one level below in the old system (could be wrong). So at 253 you are less than 1 level underleveled.

Ill be interested to know the exact math really soon.

Im sure someone at reddit is working on it
