After spending some time with D2, post content wise. Here are other annoying things I found out about the game.
- Mods and fusing weapons are not explained and you think you understand them when you look at them but you'll find yourself confused once you dabble with these systems. You do understand them after doing so but that just sucks.
- You hit a soft cap around light level 260-265 and here's the shitty thing about it. Unless you're going to get exotic drops then good luck with leveling up from there because every drop is going to be capped around those numbers except for exotic drops. You could get past this level of course but there are specific things you have to do like exotic quests, weekly nightfall, weekly flashpoint, raid.etc but it sucks that there is an even better pathway than that which is not turning in anything to NPCs post content wise until you're around those levels so that whatever you get is around or better than what your light level is. Like all my early exotics are sort of useless now. Doing it early sure is fucking tempting though but trust me, hold out and just do adventures, crucible, strikes and public events and use only what you get from those to level up. Save the world and exotic quests for the soft cap.
- The game doesn't tell you about luminous engrams which are engrams that improve with your character's level so, not going to Zavala and taking his reward post game will be the smart thing to do because the numbers on the engram rise up with your light level so, it's better that you do so when you hit the soft cap. Other regular engrams from what I know don't improve, light wise so it's better using them as soon as you get them instead of saving them up.
- Adventure missions(
side missions) are super interesting but ultimately incredibly disappointing because since I don't know shit about the world, I'm just left scratching my head all over.
- The game doesn't tell you the importance of clans in how much you benefit from them so it is important that you throw yourself into a clan from the get go instead of later. Matchmaking or should I say guided games when it comes to Nightfall and the like sucks because they are not flexible enough. So, let me get this straight, I can't do matchmaking because I am in a clan? and why is that? I don't want to quit the clan because I still want the benefits YET I also want to use guided games because no one in the clan is playing at the moment or they're all strangers to me, y'know? For the love of all that is holy, just put in regular matchmaking for fucks sake.
- NPC's are ultimately useless because you'll be amassing 9999999999999 glimmer many times over the course of the game and you'll have nothing to spend it on except for small useless shit(
with the exception of mods).
Anyways, I'm done with Destiny 2. Bring on fuckin' Cuphead.
