I think Bungie was pretty smart to not gate light level around raiding and high level PVP this time around. I like to raid but it's nice knowing that if I want to just chill on patrol and have a laid back time I don't feel like I'm wasting my time and I'm still getting good rewards.

This is why I'm waiting a week or two to poke at the raid. No rush. I still have exotics to grab.

Probably level the other classes now and get everything around 280.

If you want your titan to look like he skipped leg day every day for five years, wear the Synthoceps and a Devastation Complex in the chest slot.

I got this combo last night and it's all comedy.

Unfortunately the app doesn't seem to have character previews working so I can't show you right now. But trust me it's super hilarious!

As a long time Destiny 1 vet my mind was loving blown upon getting drops above 280 before even stepping food in the raid which apparently maxes out at 280 enemies.

Yeah, I'll probably get into a raid sometime this week just to see what it's like. Then I'll probably watch all the strat videos before stepping in again just so I know what I'm doing.

Wardcliff coil aka Dubious Volley is loving hilarious, it's more useful for swathes of enemies rather than boss dps but wow that's a lot of missiles.

The gently caress are you talking about? Dubious Volley is a great elite/boss killer.

No but then the antisocial sperglords on reddit will upvote a plea to nerf raid mechanics to the front page and Bungie will acquiesce.

Lol nope, on Reddit they are kind of aligned with goons on matchmaking, same defensive attitude towards Bungie and all.

By the way, lol at guided games, as soon as the playerbase moves from easy to hardmode nobody will sherpa randoms, lets not illude ourselves about that. (And yes, guided games are only for easy mode).

The firefly effect on it would be way more useful if it didn't kick enemies back 10 feet before blowing them up. Using it on Titan is hilarious because half the guys you shoot explode harmlessly after flying over the railing.

At least the visual effect is cool.

I had a bit of lag during a public event.

I knew something was up when the event started and the only enemy I could see was the boss servitor. There were pikes moving around with no driver, players shooting empty air and getting killed.

Then there was the part where servitor corpses floated into the sky and my AR did the exact same damage no matter what distance I was from the boss.

Which one is the best subclass for the mage? The fire flying one, the psychic purple one, or the other one? For PvE or PvP.

I kinda suck at using abilities. Should I just reroll a buff guy, is that easier to play if you just want to shoot people with your gun?

Things I like about Destiny 2.
  • When you wipe in a nightfall, you don't have to start completely over.
  • A single legendary gun will be the same, no more RNG on scopes or gun perks.
  • When you infuse an item to increase light level (it'll always be light level to me), it increases to that level and not some arbitrary random number below items level.
  • It's easier to infuse items, blues cost 4 shards and legendaries cost 1 shard to infuse.
  • Changing the perks on armor to better align with your build seems fairly easy, even if the mods might be hard to find(I have to wonder if there will be exotic mods that give like +10Def/Atk).

lol how did they let Devour + Insatiable ship, this is so busted in PvE. Literally tankier than a Titan in melee range, and by the time it runs out you usually have another charge ready to go, or very close.

Also, is there a reason I see so many Hunters in PvP? I guess Golden Gun is a pretty good super in 4v4, but it doesn't seem as good as the Warlock's. Is it just because Hunters look cool or is there something about them that makes them better suited to PvP?

What's the best way to get 270+ gear? I feel super stuck around that level and the game is boring as hell now that 90% of the content gives me loot 10 levels below the stuff I already have.
The raid sounds like a huge pain in the rear end too, especially seen as I don't have 5 other people who give a poo poo enough to slog through it.

Hold over from D1 where they were the dominant class in PvP until Titan was inexplicably buffed

270+ is basically end game. You've got the weekly stuff- shaxx's crucible thing, nightfall, raid, clan stuff. Or you grind public events or whatever looking for exotics. But that's it, you don't progress through 'normal' play any more really.

Can you only get "powerful" gear on one character per week from milestones? Just realized on my alt that they say "legendary" instead, though I'm not level 20 yet so I'm not sure if they update at some point or what.
