The NPCs are gone from The Farm after the campaign?? I'm surprised they have the ability to do that. I wonder if you literally go to a different Farm before and after Campaign.

(Does Hawk Lady have a faction that increases in any way? I'm trying to think if there's ever any reason at all to go back there)

Hawk lady goes to the real tower, I bet she becomes legend in the bathroom closest to where the tier one bone krew guardians hang

There's a warlock exotic chest that has huge wings on the back and when you jump and aim they catch on fire with light and you hover. The more precision shots you make the longer you hover.

With the preorder exotic laser gun you can hover for the whole huge clip looking like a boss while the pubbies go "oooooohhhhh"

So Bungie said they didn't know exactly what the Darkness was but at the end they show that it maybe really is those ships from pre-D1 concept art?

How does double xp work? I mean, does the timer for say two hours stop when you stop playing or just continue non-stop from when you use it

Timers from consumables are always in real world time. If it's the same as D1, a two hour xp boost will expire in two hours whether you're playing the game or not.

Not really but you're almost there. Waiting a day or two won't kill you and there's probably going to be more info out there. Do whatev.

Was an exotic given to you at the end of the Io world quests? If so I may have missed it somehow. I got a quest item that seems to be leading to that from the other planets, rat king crew for Titan, mida for Earth, Sturm for Nessus. Though I guess you had your pick of 3 early on when you got there.

I see myself and other players -- and to an extent my three characters -- as living in alternate universes. An effect of our light is that we can see the alternate Guardians running around and sometimes work with them, but NPCs only see one (except for Shaxx, I guess. Maybe that's his talent). The Tower and Farm are particularly places of power because the sense of community makes our light stronger.

So you're saying this is the Dark Souls of FPS MMOs?

Titan lady gave me Cade's pants. Being unable to ask why she had Cade's pants was the low watermark of the game so far. But then I met Failsafe and that was the high watermark.

Threw my Captain America shield into like twenty fuckin' dudes. Like I know every Titan has done it but it's so fuckin' cool.

At 20 do we start seeing the more unique weapon/armour with mods and stuff? I'm almost done with the storyline I think and I've been using the same kind of stuff from 1-17, but the single exotic gun I got handed on Nessus loving rules.

Also speaking of endgame I checked out some of the armour sets and it looks like endgame legendary armour doesn't grant abilities or perks or stuff, just gives you more defense and stuff?

My favorite exotic so far is the auto rifle-loading chestplate. I used some lovely blue AR and without reloading killed three dudes, then was ready to stomp them again without even needing to reload. My favorite thing is doing that, then using my mighty fist to shut down two enemies using their alt and having Shaxx blow his load over it.

I lost that game though because my teammates couldn't kill anyone and didn't understand what Control is, but it still felt pretty good.

Armor has mod slots you can put upgrades into that have various effects like better handling with energy weapons or shortening your cooldowns for your class ability and things like that.

Doesn't look like it, but I like the freedom of what choosing what mods to put in. Void abilities cooldown on all of my voidwalker's armour? Yes please. Just need to collect a second set and plug it full of arc cooldown mods for my stormcaller.

Quick question - does anyone know yet what to do with the ghost shells that have a gunsmith telemetry perk for elemental weapon kills? It doesn't seem to give rep or anything at the moment.
