If the Heroic Strike playlist doesn't have interesting modifiers AND specific loot then I don't think Bungie knows how to fix their game.

Destiny 2 |OT| Guardians Make Their Own Fate

they should remove the generic non-planetary armor sets out of the loot pool.
Iron Banner Tokens when it comes to Armor should be exclusively only IB armor. No more generic non-planetary armor sets.
Same goes for Vanguard.
there is nothing worse than ranking up New Monarchy 30 packages and getting more generic armor pieces than actual New Monarchy armor pieces
That happened in D1. Very strange.
And don't worry about it. Hopefully we can play tonight. I'll be on my Hunter though...ugh...

If it's anything like how they handled Destiny 1 DLC, it is not worth saving engrams. Older engrams were tied to the loot tables of items pre-DLC.
Yep getting generic sets out of faction turn ins is like... What did they smoke??
Destiny noob here who is really getting into the game. Any point in grinding from 290 to 305 if I plan on getting Curse of Osiris? I feel like my time might be better spent getting all 3 classes boosted to 290 rather than getting one maxed all the way.
same thing as WoW even though the raids are on a grander and frankly beyond understanding most of the time harder in terms of difficulty at least for the way i used to do them on a top 10 world raid team, i also used to have a shit load of alts in other guilds and would raid lead guilds through content for fun, bosses that usually take like 3 months to kill for casual guilds and a week or so for top guilds
what i learned over the last 7 or so years raiding at a really high level in that game was what you just said and what i try to tell people, thats why i compare the 2 games
i link people who are afraid of prestige raiding or hard mode raiding in this game a video of my guilds kill of like heroic ragnaros and then say yeah its like 10000000x easier than this lol and even that boss was at least fun to do and we had fun doing it, people are intimidated because they are afraid of failing and having someone yell at them in WoW which is common for more casual raid teams, especially PUGs but in this game it never happens in those groups from my experience, you just need to give people the little push so they see things differently, like swimming
thats why i like to sherpa stuff once i learned the content well enough, just like in that game
Failure is inevitable. Learning comes from failing. And through learning, you'll become more confident.
Going from 290 to 305 basically just entails doing the weekly milestones for "powerful gear", which isn't much of a time commitment. You're done with the real grind at that point.
You're at the point where getting your main to 305 would be even easier by playing on alts.
Once your first alt is ~290 you can do the exotic quests on that character. Take those weapons on your final alt and do the quests again You'll probably be over 300.
All those characters running milestones will push your LL up even faster.
I would say there is no point if you don't see yourself raiding or doing any other "endgame" activity. I'm not even sure how the extra 5 base levels (20->25) comes into play, probably need to hit 25 to equip Osiris gear or something. Play any alts you have yet to do so you get accustomed to all classes.
330 base, 335 with mods. I don't see why the bright engram system wouldn't act the same way after you hit 25.
I'm curious if the level cap increase is to give everyone more upgrade points since they're adding new perk trees to all the subclasses. I can't see any other reason as to why they would raise the level cap.
The level cap is raised so they can give new weapons and such higher level requirement I'd say.
Hmmm what's the best way for me to power level my way through a new character?
Edit: wait where are new perk trees confirmed at???

Public events without a doubt. Best strategy is to grind PEs up to the minimum level for each new world as you unlock them then rush through story missions. You are instantly bumped to 20 at the end of the campaign so you dont need to grind all the way there if you dont want to.
Planning my max PL solar Warlock build. Are there are good recommendations out there? Wings of Sacred Dawn seem like a fun novelty thing, while Sunbracers have decent? utility. Starfire Protocol seems cool but not sure how useful they are considering fusion grenades don't kill on attachment anymore.
that would be kind of pointless considering it doesn't take long to level up, and would only block people from using weapons for a couple hours at most
I think it's so people who don't have the expansion can't equip the new gear. Except there's no item trading so how would they get expansion gear in the first place?
You're supposed to play crucible for fun, that's all the reward you need!
*starts crying inside*
Don't worry, just grind iron banner a lot this week and you will get every piece of crucible gear available rather than any iron banner ones
Wish I had been able to commit more time to Prestige Nightfall this week. Not sure if the solo is possible, but it would have been a good time trying. Didn't see a single solo video this week and only one or two people giving it any time so likely not possible.
Strike leaderboards of some kind would be rad.

Esoterickk (YouTuber that does a lot of solo NF videos) said prestige is possible but it'll be super tight and he probably isn't going to do it.
3 man normal clear of Prestige isn't very hard though, I think this NF is actually on the easy side, once you know what to do and where to do these things, it's very hard to mess up.
Sadly I don't think any of the dawnblade exotics are any good. Sunbracers is usable but just.. usable. You are probably better off sticking to Nezarec's Sin and a void weapon.

Im gonna have to pass on that lmao. I got 3 clears on prestige and they have all been awful. Did them only because some specific people in my clan needed it. cc: JohnOfMars TheChillyAcademic :morgan: . I had 2.6k hours in D1 and 20% of that was PVE for a reason. And thats not because I'm bad at it (see the pic), i just tend to stick to PVP :P
ModernTryhard has been trying all day. He's gotten to the last phase

Offer is always there regardless.
I don't blame you though. Prestige has very little to offer for what you have to put in. For a lot of people (not you), because they don't want to do it (or would rather cheese it) they haven't developed the confidence or skill to just breeze through it. I play with other sherpas, like myself and people who do professional carries. Playing it so many times, it's become routine. Trials is basically the same for you and others that I know who do virtually nothing but PvP.
Over time you learn all of the little details and nuances that make the difference between a good player and a great one. At that point, you just develope good habits and smart play. As I said earlier, I'm a decent, at best, PvP player mainly because I don't put as much time in it as I should. I need to spend more time playing with great players to pick up on their habits. I played competitive shooters in the past. I totally understand the mindset behind being aggressive and having map presence. I just haven't bothered putting that much time into Destiny, despite playing Trials as much as I do. Unfortunately, a lot of my more PvP focused friends have taken a break from the game, so getting a solid Trials team is difficult.
Anyway, Calus challenge is tomorrow. I don't expect it to be too bad at all. I imagine you'll be forced to do multiple damage phases because all players will eventually have to play in dark zone and throne room. For a lot of teams, this will be a huge problem. I just don't understand why people have so many issues when it comes to killing Psions. Throne room is just about using grenades, power weapons and supers effectively. There are a lot of enemies, they spawn in waves, allowing you to me to take them out gradually.
