Destiny 2: Shadowkeep |OT| Moon's Haunted.

I'm saddened there's still no Hand Cannon, Auto Rifle, Scout Rifle or Sniper Rifle that matches some found in the original Destiny. Even though PvP mode has been fleshed out the gunplay feels half as good as Destiny (which is crazy because compared to it's peers, Destiny 2 is still peerless). As such I'm not as enthused to play PvP anyore, the main reason to play Destiny 2.

What do you mean by matched?
Luna's Howl, Austringer, Spare Rations, Waking Vigil... there are so many good legendary HCs. Thorn and TWL are nostalgic as hell, Ace of Spades is amazing...
And Revoker, Beloved, Twilight Oath, Supremacy...
You really can't find something you love amongst all this?
Wait, what, who is doing this?
People discussing lore in general?
Someone awhile ago asked about PvP tips and weapons/perks etc.
Has always been good, since D1, and is a useful source of info IMHO

I mean, you can't just drop a bomb like this and bail, you lil shit.
Explain.
is it a lot easier now? I'm mid 940's now but first day if I wasnt ready to instakill the cyclopses they'd oneshot one of us in that starting area.
It was a reference to Landford's post. (Not sure of its validity however)
The community data-miners have form for this, Uldren's cut-scene was leaked weeks in advance same as the quest dialogue and steps for hidden missions.
With Contest off the raid is much easier. You still have to learn the encounters, but once you do it's not difficult at all imo. Just like any other raid.
The final boss does have framerate issue on console, but it only happens sparingly. Annoying when it does though
alright cool, I just need to be able to take more hits, it doesn't seem too complex at least at first. Looks like it just builds on the one mechanic like CoS. hopefully I can give getting Divinity a shot this weekend but idk with how LFG is lol
Yeah, I know that now. My point still stands, people live leaking shit and mining every morsel of info.
The last surprise we got in the game was whisper and shattered throne.
To be fair, Destiny lore is kinda wacky and seems to change a lot so...
For instance, in the new lore books did you know that Ghaul initially tried to harness the darkness but was driven away by it. He refused to admit he failed so he took to assaulting the traveler because harnessing the light was the only way him and his people could stand a chance against the darkness.
Or that the vex are a construct created by a civilization that the darkness once destroyed. They are meant to continue to manipulate time to find a way to defeat the darkness.
The hive worm gods have had an alliance with the darkness for a long time, ensuring that they stay in their hive dimension. This all got ruined once Oryx betrayed them to learn how to "take" which is a darkness based ability. There is now an uneasy alliance between the vex and the taken to use hive magic and time travel to grow more powerful.
There is also a group of human scientists that preserved themselves in a time bubble hidden in another dimension. This happened during the collapse when they feared the end was nigh. There are some strong suggestions that the vex and black garden are involved in this in some way. Their goal was to study the nature of the darkness in safety to find a way to defeat them.
Did you also know that I made all this up?
Hmmm...I haven't got all of them yet, nor have I bought Foresaken or ShadowKeep.
I mean make me feel as powerful. The Devil You Know, The Devil You Don't and Eyasluna, for instance. I preferred these to the Exotics.
I think it's the way perks work in Destiny 2. For instance I never needed to change my Vanguard Scout Rifle A.1F19X-RYL because it rolled with Firefly. If I'm not mistaken Dragonfly doesn't feel the same. I've have a couple of Scout Rifles with Dragonfly and each hit feels weaker than in Destiny.
It's just not the same feeling.
However, I've just read about a Dragonfly spec from Ada-2. I have no idea how this works so I'm going to look in to it later this evening. Maybe that has the answer.
Randy's Throwing Knife is the pinnacle—uh I mean "ritual" crucible weapon for this season. Mindbender's Ambition is an aggressive frame shotgun that can get some pretty good rolls on it. And Jotunn is a heat seeking fireball of death that claims to be a fusion rifle.
Outside of the Chaperone, I'm no good with precision frame shotguns. I've had a few god rolled Dust Rock Blues that I dismantled after a playing some matches with it, they don't click with me. Fusions either.
but I need to see what Ikora's building right now and what it unlocks and what it rewards me and any lore and cutscenes and dialogue associated with it.
also destiny needs more mystery, I feel like I know what's happening all season!
/s
Oh I agree. Datamining is horrible. Like the day the Divinity quest was officially unlocked I talked about it in Discord and people had seen the necessary steps and how many there are like, days in advance.
It really really sucks.
Also, I just learned that Peter Jessop voices the Exo Male. Would make that last cutscene of Shadowkeep more intimidating if he tried sounding like this again:
You should try the best secret secondary that's actually a primary: Fighting Lion. Unleash the beast!
Question for a New Light noob.
I'm at 906 light level (or thereabouts), getting there by doing the original campaign, Curse Of Osiris, Warmind, and some strikes and activities. I think I'll end up getting Forsaken, at the least, as consensus seems to be that it's the best expansion. But here's the question:
Is there an order that's better to go about my quests? Should I do Forsaken before all of the "Discover this world," random quests? Or is it better to get my power level high through random activities and then take on Forsaken? Or is there no real difference?
Thanks!

Part of it is that at the same RPM you have to be more precise with your weapons to get a kill in PvP— 3c instead of 1c2b on a 140 (Eyasluna vs Better Devils). Some of it is the sound and art design— I really dislike the "Tower" hand cannon design used for Better Devils and Service Revolver (and other reskins in Y1). Having Austringer come back with the Menagerie really made me happy even if it's uglier than Eyasluna.
No, but there are different good feelings to be had. I had the same feelings about some of the things we lost going from D1 to D2, but it's been OK.
Yeah, I think Dragonfly spec is even better than firefly was, but it's been a while. Ace of Spades has real firefly, and Sunshot has a fantastic version that doesn't even require precision kills and then chains the explosions.
sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the dragonfly mod isn't a significant enough boost to the perk to replicate firefly. If you miss it that much, just use Ace of Spades all the time.
Well, damn. Hope you manage to get a good Mindbender's. I have one with slideshot/quickdraw and it's pretty nasty.
And yet people still insist on matchmaking *snicker*
(Seriously, it's a mind numbingly stupid debate)
Raid Report changed everything. Took all the guess work and anxiety out wondering if that random guy from LFG was a pro or potato.
However, you gotta worry about checkpoint farmers too. Those with inflated numbers and high completion rates. They might master the last boss, but can't do the rest of the damn raid, even if their lives depended on it. Hence why you gotta look at full clears.
As someone who as literally read everything except for the new Darkness lore book, you got me there for a second lol
What are some great rolls on the Optative? Currently got one with Rapid Hit, Kill Clip, and Range masterwork.
So far I am loving the moon and the new content. I still feel a little bit overwhelmed with the Armor 2.0 changes but I am not worrying about it much until I get a little higher LL (just past 910 this week on my Titan main). I was feeling pretty starved of armor mods until I dumped a bunch of tokens on Zavala and the Gunsmith and that helped some but I'm still missing some of what I consider to be the basics.
I still have a ton of weapon parts but I'm holding them til I power up a bit. Feels like I have a bunch of stuff to do, especially if I want to do all of the possible powerful rewards for the week. For a guy with a family and a full time job + social commitments there is more here to do than I can get done in a week unless I want to give up on sleeping. Thus far, I am well satisfied with this expansion.

Awesome, it has that too. Barrel options aren't great, though.

Ah, gotcha lol
And definitely gonna have to consent on every point made against data mining. I remember I was (unfortunately) robbed of that Forsaken Uldren surprise while casually reading / surfing Reddit during lunch break.
Eventhough, I wasn't too upset about it, seeing as how Forsaken flat out has been the best storytelling and character development content Bungie has put out for Destiny thus far, it sucks to be robbed the opportunity to be more immersed by the story-telling contents of Destiny if you're a player that likes the lore and story bits of Destiny and crave for more of that shit.
Especially when we're living in a timeline where Bungie is actually putting out very solid single player content (Lord's of Iron and Forsaken DLC) when they're not inundated by strict deadlines (Activision) or like currently... heavy content schedules... and actually have the time to breathe and create something coherent and special for single player.
DIM still not showing perks is seriously hurting my vault-managing routine at work.
my vault is exploding with these Vex offensive weapons, but I'm too lazy to go through them while I'm playing lol
god bless DIM.
but I do have a (crappy) laptop and cross save is a thing....mmmmmmmmm.....

I spent a good 3 hours last night on the last encounter of Garden of Salvation but we just couldn't make it happen. I really hope I can find five people to sherpa me through this last checkpoint on PC.
Bumping this because I am in the same boat although I own Forsaken/Shadowkeep.
I'm not exactly sure how the leveling works for New Light players, but unless you're in an absolute rush to get to the raid content (if you decide to purchase it) there's no reason to optimize your leveling process like that, you'll be fine playing either way.
