Destiny 2 |OT| Guardians Make Their Own Fate
- Thread starter JohnOfMars
- Start date
when will the next Faction Rally come up? I missed the last one due to vacation.
I hope doesn't suffer the same fate as Year 1's Queen bounties because that would suck if that happened

How does one get a sparrow this time around? Level 10 at the moment.
Edit : I wish there was a zone chat or something too. Feels very lonely. Be good to be able to shout out to people or see if anyone wants to plod through story missions, strikes, etc.

The 4v4 for every match is beyond Terrible.... I don't know if it was for performance reasons but a team deathmatch or control 4v4 is so boring.... Every fps needs a 8v8 deathmatch... Hell 6v6 would be ok at this point. Right now you have one bad player and your whole team gets wasted
You'll either get one after the campaign, or possibly from a bright engram if you hit level 20 first.
And yeah, zone chat would be nice, but apparently Bungie doesn't want that because of concerns with toxicity. At the very least they should have clan text chat though.
So I'm a bit confused as to what to do with my weapon parts and farming items. There's talk of an update that might change the way engrams work, so some people are stocking up in advance. If I'm light level 248 right now, should I be stocking up? I have stacks of weapon parts and tokens that I'm afraid to waste.
edit - also, what is a guided game for the nightfall?

Thanks man.
Oh wow there is not even text chat amongst clan available? Yet to hear anyone talk either. So only really becomes a social game with friends / discord by the looks of it, dissapointing.
I don't know about the update to engrams but if you want something from a vendor just go for it, you can earn more weapon parts/tokens later.
Guided Games for the Nightfall and Raid matches solo players with players from a clan to complete endgame activities. Not tried it myself but the wait times for the solo player are supposed to be pretty bad... over 2 hours sometimes.
They will still trickle out loot, but they're not reliable unless you're playing with fireteam medallions on.
Is it me or does Pleasure Gardens seem to get glitchier every week? Dogs do weird stuff way too much and I'm getting spotted on pillars, without moving, far too often. It's getting to be real annoying
Anyone break down a few of their positives and negatives with the game at the moment. I played very little of D1 and found the experience to be all over the place in terms of what I should do or can do solo with no guidance, but I love the general set up. Now that I have friends who are curious too were trying to mull over potentially playing this as our next group game.
If it seems good we might jump in, in November, if not we will hold out to the next "expansion or major update" and see if that brings any appealing info and content.

As is, game is good fun but you run out of content pretty fast depending on how hardcore you are. I'd get it about three weeks prior to the next expansion. That ensures you have a good amount of content to burn trough
Picked this up because a couple friends of mine had it and they wouldn't shut up about it.
A lot of things are a marked improvement over the original, and some things feel worse.
Like aiming. The simple act of aiming in Destiny 2 feels like ass. Every sensitivity has that stupidly slow aim acceleration curve on it. The reticle is still slightly below center screen (a pet peeve of mine even in earlier Bungie titles). Et cetera.
I like the content, bear in mind, but I absolutely abhor aiming in this game. It's made even more apparent when I switch to practically any other FPS and everything feels 100x better.

What is everyone's favorite Titan mark appearance wise? I have definitive Hunter cloaks I like and some I don't like, and Warlock bonds are mostly inconsequential, but with Titan marks I feel like I actively dislike most of them. I don't like the ones that are all behind my character and look like I have a sweater tied around my waist, but even worse are the ones with colored parts unaffected by shaders (like some where a blue cross graphic always remains blue regardless of shader). I feel like I cant find a good looking Titan mark that is offset to one side that also changes color fully based on shaders.
Infuse your Foetracer into something else in the meantime, you can always grab it back from the kiosk when you have more to wear/infuse.
Pretty much the only titan mark I like at the moment is the crucible one, and even that's not great (and it's one of those you've said you don't like). Hopefully S2 will bring more...
Man, all I need to do is Prestige NF and I have the Platinum Trophy. Might try going for it this week...
In other news, now that my Warlock has literally everything I want for him right now, and he's 305 with full raid gear and most of the Iron Banner gear, I'm going to start working on my Titan (301) and my Hunter (290).

After the reset, you'll need 270 light to access it.
You guys are in for interesting times. Having done the raid all the way through multiple times now, I actually really enjoy it.
Hey John you seemed to have skipped my request first day you opened the discord. I played a lot of D1 with DGAF (700 hours or so) went you a new PM with my discord.
Pushed my first character through all the weekly activities to 287 light. Exotic engrams were a complete bust got the warlock chest 5 times over. Super pissed.
I really want the starting warlock armour, but I also really don't want to do the campaign missions again having already done them for 3 fucking characters. FFS Bungie...
After too many hours on D1 as a Hunter (actually 3x Hunter for the loot drops due to Forever 29), then starting of D2 as Hunter, I decided to go wild and roll a shiny new Warlock..
Man the jump!?! I spend most of my time gracefully grinding my face along walls and veeeery slowly floating down holes to my death. Devour is nice tho. REAL nice.

Warlock jump has become a joke amongst the people I play with. It's fucking awful. You get great control upon descent, but forget doing anything useful on the way up.
I will say that that Rift is AMAZING, though. I just wish Dawnblade and VoidWalker affected Rift in any way. The only class that does is the bottom perk tree for Stormcaller. Arc Soul is so good that it's basically the de facto Warlock sub class for the Raid. I only play VoidWalker in PvP because Nova Bomb is way better than Storm Trance against other Guardians.
Yeah I did the initial Crucible quests last night on the lock and the rifts + devour worked really well. Only just opened up the arc tree tho. I do however think I have a pretty decent Exotic for the arc class - 'Crown of the Tempests' - which Shaxx gave me for the Crucible weekly milestone.
I'm still on the fence on getting D2 on PC. I've only played about 10 hours of D1 on PS4 with a friend, which was fun, but I didn't get into the gameplay loop back then (not enough upgrades/loot imo, compared to Diablo 3 for instance).
Will I have trouble finding people to play with, now that I'm at least a week late on PC?
Is DestinyERA present on PC?
Is there matchmaking for PvE?
And most important of all, how do you folks enjoy the game now that it's been out for a while?

That's cool and all, but even for console players you could just as easily use Discord and not be bound by the restriction of it being clan only chat.
For pc it's honestly quite inexcusable to omit chat options this basic
Crown of Tempests is good. I also recommend Lunafaction Boots. You and allies autoreload weapons when walking through your rifts.
I'm currently about 2 minutes shy of being able to solo the Nightfall, but I'd really, really like to do it with some of Era-ites.
If you're on PC and want to get the nightfall done, please add me and send me a message. DreamVisions#1571. I don't want to do this alone but I'm feeling desperate.

Yeah, and its not enough, but people saying there is no X chat are a little bit OTT
I agree, but it works. It wont last, i'd be shocked if they didnt change this.
Apparently it's Wednesday, not Tuesday. This is the PC calendar for the first weeks:
Are there any PC America/Australia clans? I checked out the clan thread and there was only one for PC Europe. I'm an Aussie and just recently got it for PC after holding off on buying for PS4.
Enjoying my time with the game so far! Just finished the main campaign and reached level 20.

If you're not fussed about having one of everything, there's little reason. Extra milestone opportunities per week which can get you higher level weapons to share between characters is about it.
I have no idea what the time table of a Season is
4 months? 3 months?
that sucks big time if true.
So every Six Weeks? that is not even monthly, that is worse.
I'm liking this game a lot more now that I'm level 20 and can actually work with other people, be it in strikes or public events. I hated going through the story alone. I guess I already messed up when I traded in that Exotic Engram from completing the story as apparently it scales with your power level, but oh well. Is there any reason I should hold onto other engrams or am I safe to cash them in once I receive them?
If it's an Engram from the Cryptarch it's usually safe to open.
Luminous Engrams and Exotic Weapon Quests are the ones you should save.
If I recall correctly.
They've said Faction Rally and Iron Banner are appearing once more this season but I think that is because of the DLC hitting and them starting season 2. I think when there's a full length season, you'll get the events once a month.
I could be completely wrong here, so someone please correct me if I am, but I think engrams have their power level determined right when they drop based on your current max power level. So no, storing engrams won't help you since their levels are already determined.
