So I've gotten back into the game and am now light 500 or so. I would love to get into a group here with you guys and play, but don't want to be a drag since I know I'm behind on the terminology, meta and end game. But...anyone want to help a brother out?

PSN: Blatt

Are you on the discord? Unfortunately I'm not going to be around a ton the next week or two, but that's where Era folks tend to group up.

Erm, the download file was called Destiny 2, so I assume it's just the vanilla version.

As I said though, I've literally not seen anything of anything Destiny related. I know there was a thing called Taken King, which is the extent of my knowledge, and I think that was for the first game.

Forsaken is the physical package that has everything except the annual pass - which you don't need until you're at the high end of the end game. I believe there's a digital bundle which includes the pass as well if you really want to go all in.

Base 0r Vanilla Destiny 2 is what you will get in the PSN giveaway, then its:

Curse of Osiris

Warmind

Forsaken

Annual Pass which encompasses - Black Armoury/ Season of the Drifter and Season of Opulence.

If you want to go beyond vanilla, you can purchase Forsaken which will include Warmind and Curse.

Its about another 20 Trumps for the Annual Pass

Finished Collector triumph for Reckoner... now to do some Tier 3 farming for some Sentry gear to start that tomorrow

Collector's probably the toughest, Sentry's the easiest one imo. Have you done reaper yet? Do you have any idea how the massacre medals work? I've read that it's just 12 kills in a row, but if that's the case they seem to be bugged.

I got one massacre with stormtrance last night off what seemed like less than 12 kills (during primeval phase), but then couldn't get it to pop any other time.

Man, is Thorn really that good in PvE? Or is it just people farming for lore or using it because it's the hot new thing? It's top 3 in the gambit meta too. I love using it in patrol zones etc., but don't seem to have a ton of luck with it in more intense activities. Collecting those remnants means you have to keep rushing enemies, and that just gets me killed a bunch. Also, DOT means they're still shooting at me, at least Malfeasance makes 'em blow up.

Damn @ Recluse already being the energy slot king.

How do that many people have 1KV? Is it just that only the hardcore are left playing? Or that such a huge % are using the top 4 that a handful of 1KVs can make the list?

Go Loaded Question, this is like the first ever fusion meta.

More importantly: HARD LIGHT? HARD BLOODY LIGHT? Have they made it good or something?

demi · Apr 14, 2019

That is only for the past couple weeks. Hard Light is on there because of the Catalyst, people are grinding it out. Same with Rat King, Prospector... that's actually a really misleading chart

The Duke mk. 44 of rocket launchers. Random world & gunsmith drop that can roll with cluster bombs.

Since the last balance patch IIRC Prospector is the highest DPS in the game, so that one's earned its place. I expect it to climb once people cotton on to the fact that Wardcliffe ain't what it used to be. Rat King & Hard Light are almost 100% likely just grinds though, I agree. Misfit, Riskrunner & Loaded Question are probably that high because of Arc Week, not that they aren't all good.

You'll never get any kind of "pure" data on a meta though, unless there is literally nothing happening in the game. It is what it is in the moment.

What's the best way for a friend and I to get up to Recluse in Comp? LFG? Is it possible with randoms really?

Zenobia-D intrinsically has tracking, so you can sorta get triple perks on it if you include the built in tracking. For example, a combo like: cluster bombs, auto loading holster, and tracking.

demi · Apr 14, 2019

I did mine entirely Solo, but if you aren't familiar with PVP then no, it probably won't be possible unless you get hard carried by randoms or you play against bots

I actually meant to say cluster bombs, went back & edited it. So yeah, it can basically be curated Bad Omens jr. (or Sr., if you value that third perk over the aggressive frame).

Friend and I duo queued since the season started, usually high population times like Friday night EDT. We just aimed to get our three games done but if it went well we would do more, stopping at two consecutive losses. On Friday we teamed up with another duo we had just played well with and ended up getting the last 700 points needed for everyone to at least get 2100 on reset.

Are those stats pulled from a particular site that aggregates them? Would love a source/link if possible :) (though it looks like it comes from a Discord?)

Loaded Question is always fun to use in PvE and is a regular weapon in the PvE meta. Also great to use in Gambit.

neon/drifter · Apr 14, 2019

I think I finally need to be apart of a clan or a fireteam or something. I've solod the game for hours, I've got a lvl 50 Hunter and he's at just over 600 power.

But now I've started the black forge questline and the Volundr Forge mission is just proving I need to be apart of a coordinated effort. Any teams looking for a member? Anyone wanna just help me through this? Let me know!

Literally my most used PvE energy weapon:

Although now I need to question these numbers, because it's way behind what the in-game counter on the weapon itself shows:

Riskrunner's been pretty high ever since the Forges opened since it is so valuable in both Gofannon and Bergusia. Not that I didn't have a lot of love for it before that but with those two forges alone it is guaranteed to get a lot of use. Also, really surprised to see Arsenic Bite at 9 on the energy slot beating out Telesto. I like bows and I never use that one just because Le Monarque is so good in that slot.

My man. Also liking that you use Borealis a ton because it is far and away my most used sniper. It's so useful in Nightfalls and just feels really good to boot.

Meet a wholesome brazilian dude in a game, he offered carry me from 900 to 2030 just to help me. Cheer me up all the way there and even when i was tired he told me to go to sleep and to text him as soon i was ready to continue.

I play this since D1 beta and the community in this game amazes me.

Yep, you see it at #2 on my list, almost entirely because of forges. It's just stupid fun there.

My favourite sniper in the game until Izanagi's came along. It's with me on every nightfall, never sweat a match game.

I love it when Bungie's bullshit matchmaking puts me in a gambit prime match with 3 other randoms against a full, 4 person clan stack who are all level 700 and all have 1KV.

Totally fair game. Completely fucking unacceptable.

If anything - Bungie needs to be release from Sony so we can get cross save already. Who cares what Sony thinks, just make it work for M$ and PC and I'll buy the whole shit on PC.

Bungie's MM is a complete trashfire for all modes 99% of the time. The only thing unaffected is Strikes right now because everyone only runs through them at light-speed for the daily bounty or pinnacle weapon grind now anyhow..

Unless it's the Corrupted, then seemingly no one knows how to either pass the ball around to charge it more or to throw it at the shielded ones.

I always try to get to it first and throw it at a teammate. I'll play dumb, who cares, I just want to get the damn thing done ASAP.

Is there a complete guide to dreaming city anywhere on the Internet? I've tried Googling, but I get partial guides or early Forsaken guides when stuff hasn't been figured out.
