So I was away from Destiny for a while... had 2 max characters around 230 light, nothing fancy. Bought the Rise of Iron and it seems I can not even play the story without getting my light to 280.. so as someone who has no friends who play and forgot how things "work" in the game what is the best way to get up to 280 so I can play the content I bought?

Any tips would be awesome..

 

[Pandora012]

Ugh I hate my schedule. Everybody here does everything the second it's available/figured out. Is anybody teaming up for the full monitors/raid/exotic quest line? I'd love to join on 380 Warlock

I'm probably going to do it Friday but, early in the day if I can get a team. But, I'm also planing a raid on Saturday with 2 others, and we will most likely do the quest then too.

Did you not get a level up item?

Y1 Thorn is forever bound to Y1 light.

oh really? my Y1 Hawkmoon doesn't have that issue. Guess any Y3 versions made the Y1s obsolete.

 

[Born2Live]

3 of us at the forge about to drop a perfected.

psn: astropoff

Still got space? I've got a perfected to drop too.

[Zakalwe]

nooo, i'm still at work.

Worry not, it will happen.

Ha, just finished. Save it for when Lik's back and we'll chain loads!

Hawkmoon was one of the guns that made the transition.

Guns such as Thorn, Vex, and Necrochasm have been bound to Y1 light.

Well that would further explain I have no idea how to play any longer. I will look for this tonight! Thank you!

the Necro?! Oh man, some Gaffers here suffered so much for it.

Also, Hawkmoon was a Playstation exclusive in Y1. It came to Xbox in Y2.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Man, after playing overwatch for 3 months and now jumping back into the crucible for bounties, I remember why I had a bad taste in my mouth from Destiny PvP for so long.

Everymatch is filled with people who have the scarab emblem and the new raid exotic. Lag is everywhere, especially with the hunter dodge roll. I litereally spawned into someone shooting at my head. Like he was shooting at my teammate, missed and hit me twice in the face before I had control of my character.

I think after I finish this weekly shaxx bounty I'm going to call off crucible for good. I might get the stamp in my book for the trials card completions, but that'll be it. I'm just not having fun with this part of the game anymore.

 

[eggydoo]

We won, but the pulse is not an OP pvp gun.

curious to see how it does in trials since its 390 light

yup, i got the Hawkmoon literally a week before the exclusivity was up.

 

[perorist]

Hey guys, wanted to ask if Destiny is worth playing if I don't have PS+. Mostly a casual shooter player and would only be interested in running through the story. Is the single player content compelling enough (with all expansions) if I can get the complete edition fairly cheap?

 

[JJShadow]

Anyone down for Archons Forge guys? Got a Perfected offering to be used as soon as we gather a group of 5-6 inside the Forge

PSN is JJShadow77

Welcome back, Guardian lol

Can it be bought back from the Kiosk, if I use it to infuse something?

Nope.

You'll be kept out of a very large portion of the game.

i think you'll quickly get bored with the main campaign solo.

The most substantial portions(and why everyone loves the game so much) are MP. The story content is okay, not great, but even then a lot of the lore/backstory is lost if you don't do the raids/strikes/crucible and get the grimoire cards.

 

[Pandora012]

Yeah there should be an item in your inventory, that boost you to lvl 40. From there you can run some strikes to get your light level up.

Try a shotgun. Wreck some fools.

If you can afford it, I'd spring for a 3 month ps+ pass to see if you like the game. You really do need it to get the most out of Destiny, it would be an incredibly frustrating experience running into the ps+ wall all the time.

It's not that I can't play:

It's that it just isn't fun. Losing feels terrible, and Winning doesn't feel good enough to cancel out the negativity from losing. It's the exact same reason I stopped playing smash bros.

 

[2real4tv]

You running the Exotic Pulse Quest in there? Ok if ~365 hunter never ran before runs with you?

Sure lets do it

 

[perorist]

Thanks for the feedback, I think I'll give it a pass then

I played some PVP for the Marks and after OW, this game feels so slow especially in PVP. I also don't know what guns to use anymore because they tweaked them to a point that they don't feel right to me now. Makes me sad.

I'm literally going full douche right now.

All I need is the stupid B-line medal, and I've dropped out of the past 4 matches because I can't get it.

 

[SkylineRKR]

yup, i got the Hawkmoon literally a week before the exclusivity was up.

lol me too. And then, during the first day of TTK, I got Y2 as my first exotic drop. Got Jade Rabbit a week after, so that PS exclusive went quicker.

 

[Kadey]

Cannot wait to get it.

 

[General_Zod]

Is there a warlock and a hunter out there who wants to finish off the exotic rifle quest?

I started but lost my fire team

 

[2real4tv]

Need two for raid doing pulse quest

 

[Silvard]

Count me in! PSN: SilvardCT

Titan or Hunter.

 

[Dthomp]

Need two for raid doing pulse quest

I could go, have a Warlock

 

[Trakan]

How difficult is this new quest? Seemed kind of overwhelming just by reading the steps.

It's not difficult at all. It's incredibly time consuming though. I jumped in late and it still took me 5.5 hours. Took the rest of the group 8+ hours. If you can beat the raid, nothing is really hard. You need 2 of each class and need to stick with them throughout the quest as you will always need a fireteam of a hunter, warlock, and titan. You cannot complete the quest alone.

 

[LiK]

making people use all 3 classes is so fucking great at forcing people to do teamwork and be diverse with their groups. i think that's good idea. wish it didn't take that huge amount of time.

 

[JayHayabusa]

Who's running the raid with the exotic quest?

Let's do it.

jayforone

 

[molnizzle]

It's pretty lame that the RoI soundtrack still isn't available on streaming services.

I'm up for it

[Born2Live]

Well that was a waste of a perfected offering.

i was thinking you liked to say Thank You after every post. But now I know the truth and I'm very disappointed in you.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Can someone tell me what exactly is being tested of us during the Archon's Forge?

Like, when we see the message we just kill all the SIVA nodes and that seems to spawn the axes, but I don't feel like I'm getting the full picture because sometimes there will still be nodes up and we still get the axes.

 

[Zakalwe]

Well that was a waste of a perfected offering.

Ty

Dw, they come pretty thick and fast. I'll let you know when we're starting a proper AF group.

You only have to kill the node that spawns in the "orb" or spawn point. At which point the orb on the opposite side will open with the axes.

 

[JJShadow]

Sorry we couldn't make it, they're no joke, even with a group of 5 it's pretty tough.

Man...

that's some SAT level testing right there.

Yeah I guess the idea is they're offering you SIVA? You turn it down so somehow axes spawn?

 

[DjRalford]

Half way to 364, decided at 362 to decode my legendary engrams, got an artifact boost which was nice.

Still holding onto my exotic engrams until I hit 365!

Wow. Hopefully later on people will figure out a simpler/faster way.

I gathered that's what it looks like. I really should get my Gaf name changed to something that resembles my PSN name.

No worries. It was a good effort hopefully another one drops for me in the not to distant future.
