crucible in this game is really bad because its so heavily reliant on team play and so many people quit midway through matches its so annoying. D1 crucible never had this many people quitting matches, certainly not this early in to the game's life
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.
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?
They will still trickle out loot, but they're not reliable unless you're playing with fireteam medallions on.Do night falls and strikes give the same amount of loot (after weeklies)? Same question for normal vs ranked crucible.
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 troughAnyone 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.
It appears twice a season, same as Iron Banner.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
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.I got a 270 orphius rig from a heroic PE in EDZ. Now I just need a helm to replace my foe tracker and i'm g2g.
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...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.
After the reset, you'll need 270 light to access it.So the first raid opens this tuesday, right? Or do you just need to get to a certain light level to access 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.Discord invites are continuing to flow out at a slow, steady pace. (I think I've gotten through everyone that has PMed me, and gone back to the bad place to save a few souls.)
Right now, we're looking for old members (folks who have posted in old DGAF OTs) and for people who have played with community members.
I'm very aware we have a lot of new PC players who never posted or played with our Destiny community. That's why I'm encouraging y'all to post here in the OT and play together. If we see y'all are grouping up and involved, then we'll get you in sooner. Nothing crazy, just put up some LFG posts, join others. Just get involved. The real community is just as much here as Discord.
We'll be more open later this week, but in the meantime I'd encourage y'all to use the OT as much as possible. It's where we all got our start after all.
Cheers!
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.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.

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.
Crown of Tempests is good. I also recommend Lunafaction Boots. You and allies autoreload weapons when walking through your rifts.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.
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
Apparently it's Wednesday, not Tuesday. This is the PC calendar for the first weeks:So the first raid opens this tuesday, right? Or do you just need to get to a certain light level to access it?
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.Is there any benefit for levelling multiple characters outside of 'playing more Destiny?'
The other classes aren't really different enough for it to justify another play through.
My friend and I are up for it if you still want to.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.
Good runs :DDD
I have no idea what the time table of a Season is
3 months per Season. Year 1 will have 4 seasonsI have no idea what the time table of a Season is
4 months? 3 months?
that sucks big time if true.
If it's an Engram from the Cryptarch it's usually safe to open.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?

So every Six Weeks? that is not even monthly, that is worse.
