Warmind was terrible though jesus. It's like they slapped those missions together in a week.
The campaign's sole purpose is to teach the mechanics needed for endgame. Warmind's story missions serve that purpose real well. Nice quick roller coaster and on to the end game.

Also, regarding leveling up, I now have 2 characters at 385 and have just been knocking out milestones since Warmind launch. Make sure you knock those out one by one. Each time you get a peace of gear to level you up, use your tokens and turn them in to level all your gear up to the new baseline. Once you've done that, do the next milestone.

I'm up to 369 now doing all the weekly milestones since Warmind launch apart from the raid one. I was really lucky this week with drops and managed to get up three levels without having to switch out gear.

Game is back to being dead.
In what context? MP?

I haven't had any issues getting matches in crucible (granted, I play the 5 I need for the Milestone and get the hell out of there) and my clan consistently has 15+ people online. No issues setting up Raids or getting folks to team up for Nightfalls or strikes. (I'm on Xbox and have only had to resort to the built in LFG a handful of times to find an extra for a raid or something)

I think 'dead' is context sensitive in this case.

Is the game worth playing again for someone who quit right after the first expansion released? (& has a season pass)

Beat Escalation Protocol for the first time today! We downed the final boss with like 5 seconds left.

That is such a fun event I wish it wasn't such a pain to get grouped for it.

If you got the season pass, I say you might as well play Warmind. It's quite good. Even play Osiris as well if you haven't already. It'll certainly fulfill the quantity of content quota playing both DLC back to back.

Grinding Sunshot masterwork sure is serious business.

I did get weaseled a few minutes after getting this, but that happens to me a lot so not sure if I was really attacked or if it was just coincidence. Either way, reported.

The most confusing part though was that the gamertag that sent this was not in my instance at all. I'm so confused.

Edit: Oh wait, this account has barely any gamerscore. Someone else in the instance must have used this alt account to do the message rather than expose their real one. Fucking coward.

I've got a few random invites lately, they don't seem to be on my friends list, they're not in my instance, sometimes I'm in orbit.

Weird, I always wonder where the hell random people are finding me. I mean in tower I get it, somebody sees you, maybe sees 380 plus light, thinks "hey, this guy can help do x y and z since I'm only 340" or whatevs, invites you.

But in orbit? It's weird.

Trials spamming in D1 made me turn off PSN messages to strangers. It's gross.

Wow, that's disgusting.

You should just message back telling them to go to PC and cheese trials like everyone else.

Well of Radiance and the new Empowering melee.

Warlock Master race reigning supreme. Bow down.
I still don't understand what Well of Radiance does, exactly :S

But what I DO know is that IT HAS A TIMER. IT LETS YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW LONG UNTIL IT ENDS. US DEFENDERS WANTED THAT FOR OUR BUBBLES SINCE YEAR 1 BUNGIE.

This is the most bothersome shit I have seen in a long long time!!!!
It's just like... it's a fucking patrol instance. I was already waiting in that instance for like 15 minutes when I got kicked. You really have to swing around your e-dick and revel in what little power you have by disconnecting me rather than reinstance yourself? Pathetic.

So I stopped playing back in October after I felt I did everything there was to do in the game, minus the super hard raid. Since I got a PC recently and I subscribe to humble monthly, I figured I'd jump back in. It's insane how much the change in platform has increased my enjoyment of the game. 144 refresh rate, significantly shorter load times make a huge, huge difference in me wanting to play more and wanting to return the next day. I bought the expansion pack and am halfway through Osiris, but I'm definitely enjoying it more the second go around. Even crucible, which I genuinely disliked on both D1 and D2 on playstation. I'm playing completely solo, but so far, this is really fun playing again.

So, just bored really but I'm doing some of the Mediation missions this week to get tokens to acquire the Titan armor set from Ikora on PC. Did the radio tower mission from CoO (called Deadly Trial or something?) and realized that there is a rather large explorable area behind the tower in the EDZ that I had no idea was there before that ultimately leads to a tunnel that is blocked off by one of those Fallen light-barricade thingy. Probably nothing but seems like the perfect "if you get here fast enough there is something on the other side type thing."

There are paths, an island, rock-cliffs to climb, and a river down there you can go to along with pikes and some light enemies as well.

No, it absolutely does not when it's a twenty dollar add-on. Compare that to amount of content in Frozen Wilds or Blood & Wine, and you should feel nothing but embarrassment for Bungie.

My issue is, these milestones are quite boring. I was hoping there was a way to climb the Light ladder with something slightly more interesting, but I suppose not.

Definitely gonna hold off on Forsaken till some impressions roll in. After being burned by these fools twice, I'd be an even greater fool for throwing money at them blindly again.

Shoulda done it week 1 and 2. Everything after wave 4 was intense as fuck and every clear came down to the fuckin wire. Was amaze.

Now? Fucking sucks. You sleep walk through 6 levels, then attention is only required for long enough to group-kill Shriekers. Bosses melt in literally 15 seconds of sustained fire.

One more week for me to complete my Worldline Zero and I'm done with PE for the forseeable future. Maybe for the rest of the season.

You know what would have kept me coming back? Challenge. Maybe trying to 3-man it will be enough. It's just...there are no rewards for me to chase anymore other than a pat on the back.

It grants both empowering and healing rift at the same time. The benefits are greater than their regular counterparts. the AOE is much larger too.

We agree to disagree.

Money/Value is subjective so there isn't much grounds for me to argue with you on value as that depends entirely on one's own finances verses time investment. I've already gotten 30+ hours out of Warmind, so for me, the time/entertainment investment was easily met for just $20.

If I could make a comparison to the game that brought me to destiny, I will. I've never played Diablo for the story. If anything, the grind from Level 1-70 is something done in 5 minutes in a group so you can start the actual game, the end game of Paragons/Rifts/Greater Rifts in D3. I treat Destiny the same way. Get me to the grind, get me to doing missions/strikes/raids with friends.

As for the issue with milestones, I'm not sure what to tell you. It's a loot grind game, you have to grind to level up.

Warmind's story served to open up Escalation Protocol as well as show you the tactics which are heavily used in the new Raid lair with the throwing/aiming of orbs which were used in the Xol/Nokris missions.

Any truth to the rumors about Fillion not voicing Cayde in Forsaken?

If that were true, they could fire his character into the sun along with Tess Everiss for all I care.

edit: Yeah, it appears the demo they were letting people play at E3 didn't have Nathan. Several people appear to think it was Nolan North doing a Fillion impression, but it was clearly not Nathan and the Bungie employees there wouldn't say either way. Question now is if it was just a placeholder or possibly Nathan left Destiny long ago and their way of dealing with that is killing his character rather than changing his voice actor. A shame either way.

According to Reddit, Byf said it was Fillion in the mission he played. I'd trust him over some no-name site saying it didn't sound like Fillion.

If it's not, that's a problem and Bungie should get out in front of it. Because Fillion is known to love doing this stuff. If fans are left to speculate, they're going to go in the direction of Bungie being cheap and decided to kill off Cayde so they don't have to pay Fillion anymore.

Even if they didn't want to pay Fillion anymore, at least let him voice his death. Guess we'll see if they confirm it later.

Stevior isn't actually a no-name. But regardless of who said it, Bungie's response to his inquiry is weird. If it was Nathan, why not just say it was Nathan instead of talking around it? What does it hurt to be truthful about the voice actor?

It's pretty no-name overall. :P

I honestly question if the conversation happened as it's stated in that article. It comes across as too weird, as if they were trying to hide it when we'll all know when the game comes out.

So if it's true, they need to get ahead of it now. If they try to get the game out and sneak that fact by players, they're going to be in for a backlash.

I mean, there will be a rightful backlash if they dropped Fillion anyway but it would be even worse if they tried to hide it.

If Cayde stays dead Fillion had no role anyways. The reasoning behind the scenes (if there was any) doesn't matter to me as that's between Bungie/Activision and someone they contracted/employed (and I've been a Fillion fan since Firefly, ODST, etc but I'm not going to get into all the conspiracy stuff about pay and whatnot). I mean if it is a different voice-actor and Cayde comes (or doesn't) back I'm fine with that too.

While I'm invested in the lore I'm more concerned with gameplay, play-spaces, making engrams (Blue/Legendary/Exotic) meaningful outside of Milestones/Powerful/Luminous rewards, progression reasons to log-in on a daily basis, and simply more (variety) activities to do daily/weekly.

Right but if this was legitimately done for story reasons (as Bungie has gone on record saying), then they would have Nathan voice him the final time.

If it's not Nathan, then it's going to be hard to argue that their idea of wanting to do something darker and surprise audiences isn't just a cover for, "We dropped him because we didn't want to pay him." It's hard to take anything else from that.

Which would be lame as hell and, to me personally, put a negative shadow over Forsaken.

I did about 3 straight hours of Escalation Protocol and no fucking shotgun. I have at at least 10 full completions this week. What's the drop rate on this thing? I kind of want to keep going, but not if my chances are miniscule.

Is Sleeper worth it? Can't really be arsed doing a quest line for an exotic that I already did a quest line to get previously, and I rarely have exotics in my power weapon slot because it means giving up Sunshot or Graviton Lance.

It's the best power weapon in the game for most PvE content with a particular talent for killing bosses.

Your call.
