I thought it was a nice touch to have the music seamlessly shift to the theme of whatever expansion you were looking at in the adventure summary cards for returning players.

Speaking of Nice Touching, remember, membership in the "Fogle's Angels" pvp sub-clan of bone krew is only valid during levels 9-15, so don't overlevel yourself kids.

Early game exotic mission rewards make me giggle a bit, since my Warlock is basically dressed like a wasteland survivor but had a totally bitching helmet.

That helmet is so rad - I can see it being my first contender for raid required helmet with the decreased cooldowns (and looking badass as gently caress).

Okay here's some details on how the PS Exclusive Sniper works. You change the element by holding Reload down, it will play the reload animation and change elements. It always cycle in the same order Void -> Solar -> Arc. If you unequip and reequip, or you die and respawn, the element will change back to Void. If you have an empty magazine you will have to reload it before you can change the element. You do not lose ammo switching elements whatsoever.

It's a lot easier to change elements with this gun, but it's a little too cumbersome to change between enemies in a single fight. I would try to think ahead and change it to the fight upcoming.

Sorry, guy.
The gear (at level 9) has been pretty humdrum ( Warlock) but I got this great helmet that looks like it's glass with a smoky cosmos inside.

Love it.

From 250 to 260, is Aventures + Public Events + Lost Sectors the best way to go?

Strikes seem like they have the same rewards as the above but take 3x the time.

Strikes seem completely pointless at the current time/reward ratio.

strikes would be the only way to get vanguard gear, which is still mostly pointless because the armor is functionally identical to EDZ armor, which is the easiest in the game to farm

It's unfortunate you don't have higher expectations for games, especially at Destiny's complete price point.

Yeah $100 for a year is loving brutal, paying literally pennies per hour for a game I'll probably sink hundreds of hours into? Bungie got some real balls foisting this recycled garbage on us.

Best things about the game so far:

-The hideous sky blue/hot pink shader I immediately applied to my sparrow

-This exchange from midway through the second Nessus mission:

"Failsafe, what happened to your crew?"
"I'm sorry, only the captain is permitted to access those records. And he's super dead."

I did ask a while back but it got lost at the top of a page - has the quest log been removed and replaced with the milestones popup? I kinda liked the old log, always felt like I had tons of stuff to do when reading it. I'm still very early so maybe the milestones act as a decent replacement, just seems weird to omit the log.

Game is fantastic otherwise!

Get lucky with Exotic Engrams/Activities that reward random exotics. Since it's a PS exclusive we will probably never see it sold by Xur this year.

This does seem to be the case. And the milestone tab can get pretty big, it grows horizontally if it needs more room.

Some boy on reddit claims that Nightfall gives out Loot every time you run it. Anyone have any understanding of how its rewards work? As far as completing it, completing 1-2-3 challenges, etc?

Ok, Warlock here. Is DONGBREAKER just bad or am I doing something wrong? LIke, in Crucible, I pop it, and I get SHOT THE gently caress DOWN immediately.

I have shot (at length) Super-ed up Hunters and Titans and they seem to have super armor and just ingest my bullets.

Thoughts?

I assume you can still get the exotics that you didn't pick from the quest rewards at some other point in the game.

I want every exotic.

At the very least you can roll a new character in a different slot and keep playing through and shoving the exotics in your vault.
