Any new rumors about destiny 2? I'm planning on going full fledge into it after quitting 1 a week after release. I'm foaming for details. Happy holidays!

So I just played my first strike. I think it was the level 4 strike. The very first one the game asks you to complete.
I had a great time. The whole time there was no communication between the fireteam. Is that typical? It was with random players.
I'll be attempting the Crucible a bit later. My cousin keeps bugging to get into Overwatch.
Edit:
Since I hadn't played in nearly 4 months, I forgot how to do even the basics! Couldn't aim, forgot how to high jumps, couldn't even remember how to get to orbit or even call the sparrow!

If anyone is playing today and wants to run Vault of Glass raid now or in a couple of hours, Gutz and I are up for it...
Just let us know. First timers are most welcome. There is no requirement as such, you just need to be level 23 to enter normal VoG.

Happy Christmas!
Normal. You can opt into voice chat, and can even set the game to do so automatically when you are solo matchmaking, but even then there's usually no talking. You will see waving and dancing and whatnot on occasion (by heavy boxes especially).

Ok, need some advice here. I'm trying to build a defender Titan with the highest possible intellect and discipline. I have a light level of 354. I'm currently using the Khvostov Exotic as my primary weapon. Any armor I should look out for? I was thinking to get the Helm of Saint 14 and then farm for the highest possible armor with intellect and discipline. Good idea?
If you're a defender, you want Saint 14 period. Then yeah like you said just check your rolls as you get drops - but realistically, you might want to keep specific ones until you hit that great int/dis roll. For example reload gauntlets (for your favorite primary class), or heavy ammo boots, etc. I play Control a lot, so I kept boots with Capture King as a perk.
But for a Defender, St. 14 is your world.
Would love them too.. Over 350 3-of-coins down and still out of luck.
Why can't I stop the grind? Lol
Anything special at the tower for Christmas?

Merry Christmas People! Just think, next Christmas we will be playing Destiny 2. Hopefully.

Because random players are terrible and a detriment to the raids which require super coordination and a tight nit group of guardians. Granted Destiny LFG sites exist and prove that wrong but Bungie just shrugs.
Also Merry Dawning everyone!

Can not get an exotic for love or money, not even from shaxx bounties. Got a crimson ghost at 400 after a control match. It's something i supose

So I just bought the collection on sale, and this postmaster has items to instantly increase my level to 25 and 40, and something called dust, do I need to use these?
Coriolanus

You dont need to use any of them if you don't want to. Level boost to 25 is nice because it instantly allows you to start the Taken King content, which is of considerably higher quality than what comes before and unlocks the third specialization for your class. Also gives you a lot of level 25 gear.
No idea if the l40 boost does the same and jumpstarts your gear to Rise of Iron's gear level.
Reizo Ryuu

Hmmk, would you say the full experience is just ignoring those boosts though? I don't exactly mind working my way up as long as I enjoy it.
Ruthless_Barbarian

Defender specific must have exotics - Helm of St.14(pve) and No Backup Plans(pvp).
For Titans in general - Twilight Garrison(pve+pvp) and Ruin Wings(pve).
Armor rolls are random, so you can't exactly farm for int-dis gear. What you can do is use glass needles (bought from Xur) to re-roll high-stat exotic gear. You can check the roll % of your gear by using a gear app like Destiny Item manager, Tower ghost, etc.
Also if you have unlocked the Days of Iron armor from the RoI book, you can pull out as many armor pieces as you want. They will roll with random stats every time so when you get a high rolled int/dis one, you can use that
The grind to level 40 for a fresh character is a long one. If you have the time and don't mind repeating activities for xp, then don't use the boosts. But if you want to get into the higher level content faster and don't want to grind a lot, use the boosts.
Destiny has 3 classes - use the lvl 40 boost on the one you like the most and keep the lvl 25 one for another character.
Once you get to level 40 you still have to get your Light level up which is a totally separate grind altogether.

It confuses enemies that enter your bubble for a brief period of time. I don't think it works on most bosses, maybe Omnigul?

At what point would I know if I like the class more than another though? Should I play each class to level 10 or something?
Coriolanus

your enjoyment of the classes will be derived from their talents, not their levels, and those... those take quite a god damn while to develop, and their xp is independent from level or total item level aka light level. All classes have (broadly) a ranged nuke(s) spec, a close-quarters nuke(s) spec, aaaand an utility spec.
Would watch some youtubes to see which toys you want, and go from there.

Researching the characters/classes and their abilities is about the only way as at Level 10 you'll barely have anything unlocked regarding class perks.
The most popular ones are generally Hunter (Nightstalker), Titan (Defender), and Warlock (Sunsinger) but there is more to it than that especially when it comes to mobility/jumping/grenade/super characteristics and then PvP/PvE.

Ok, thanks.

Stay away from Warlocks and you'll be fine
All classes have 3 sub-classes, with different abilities: Grenades, melee, supers, perks etc.
When you start a class fresh, none of the abilities will be unlocked. You can swap sub-classes on the fly but they need to be leveled up and that takes a long time. So, no..playing each class to level 10 will not help honestly.
Just look at videos of the classes and sub-classes on youtube and figure out what you like best.
tl;dr
Titan. The correct answer is TITAN.

Everyone gets 200 silver, that's roughly $2 in micro-transaction money.
It's only used for MTS at the Eververse store in the social spaces.
