To unlock the clan xp engram you gotta finish the entire campaign yes? I've held off on picking up the campaign yellow engram reward because knowing my loving luck it'd be the last one I'd ever see.

Total new guy question, but how do I get my light level (I think that's the name) to 280 or higher? Right now I'm at like 255. The drops I'm getting are still in that range. Is it just a slow steady grind for better stuff or is there a certain set of things I should be doing?

Complete the weekly milestones and anything else that promises "powerful gear", that means gear above your current light level.

Things that list "Powerful Gear" as the reward will be a bigger jump. You don't really have to do much special.

The esports wave has started cresting back, unfortunately Destiny 2 was one of the last games caught up in the craze. It's idiotic and bad for the game, we all feel the same way about it. It's a pretty unpopular change.

You can't make esports happen, the game just had to be a natural, unintentional fit. None of the major esports titles were made for it in mind, not even CSGO or Dota. They just adapted to it much later down the run, to make spectating easier. Those games had over a decade of careful balancing long before a penny or cent was given to players. You can't hamfist that poo poo man.

Thanks, yeah csgo and dota have like a decade of balancing and meta, and are enjoyable to watch, D2 isn't something I would watch a tournament of, even if they esports it up

Thinking about the weekly nf more, I guess if you're sherpa'd you don't get the trophy and miss out on an engram? And the sherpas and their clans get more?

If I have a guided nightfall token in my mailbox, is that inviting me to be guided or asking me to guide?

Also is anyone doing the prestige nightfall yet? I'm curious, prob going to give it a shot after the raid. gently caress, I'm curious about the raid!

They're asking you to be guided and you should do it because only certain users got the tokens to trial it out.

I keep getting Titan Exotics but can't tell how good they actually are. I have the helm with the Giant horns on it right now that fill my super bar when I take dmg or use void abilities, gloves that let me punch better, boots that make me run faster etc.

Are there any standout armors that I should be looking for? or are they just minor flavors to the character and I should just wear the one with the highest ilvl. I thought the ACD/0 fence was going to be a good exotic and I was sorely mistaken.

Insurmountable Skullfort if you play Striker (as you should be). Constant shoulder charges are wonderful.

Shoulder charge in pve is really good now.

The Skullfort is a lot of fun in PVE, though less useful in PVP. Has anyone gotten good use out of the exotic titan arms that increase melee lunge range and increase damage when surrounded? The Synthoceps or something? I didn't really notice a difference with them on but wasn't paying attention for it either.

The War Rig crushes in the Crucible because you can suppress infinitely, and pubbies always assume that you're reloading when they are.

I've actually found the shield charge to be very good in PVE. It has a great frontal cone effect and I usually find myself vaporizing at least 4 guys when they cluster. Does Arc shoulder charge do the same?

Arc shoulder charge is a full 360 degree blast, very good damage, and the skullfort gives your melee ability back if you get a kill with it.
