Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

double edit: actually this thing looks sick and it takes to shaders super well. Nevermind this is sweet.

They are both underpowered and hard to use. High risk no reward.

But I want that one that you can prime before exploding, that type of burst damage could be useful somewhere.

With the removing of a consumable to get power ammo, power weapons are kind of ..situational...

I'm mixed about them. I've found some that I liked while others were just so-so.

The current one I have on my character was pretty handy going through the first story mission on Io where the three Wizards are casting a spell at that ball. 3 direct hits took each one out along with a large blast radius that took out everything standing nearby.

That one seems nice. This is the one I had been using: http://db.destinytracker.com/d2/en/items/1120843238-plemusa-b

For whatever reason, I'm not liking Sniper Rifles in the game. I used them a lot in Destiny, but just something about them in 2 feels off.
Sort of like how I didn't like hand cannons in the first game, but am absolutely loving them in this one.

I really just can't get the feel for snipers in either, but I could in halo. I'd rather use a good scout, and hc are so much fun.

Proximity and increased blast radious. Yep.IMO thats the problem with GL in destiny 2, you can shot a dude trough his legs, you need to aim too much.

3rd street for life
My lock is still at 270, and I've still yet to do any challenging content, but I did level up a titan to 20 yesterday. Sadly you only get clan rewards on one character, but you do get 3 additional bright engrams, and some other things for getting through the story. So I got that stupid Spicy Ramen emote. I also got to remedy my bad decision and get the solar pistol exotic on him. It did not give me another shot at an origin story from Zevala :(.

I just wanted to say it's stupid easy to get light levels up on a 2nd guy. I xferred over my level 282 mida and 2 265 purple guns, as well as the 270 exotic titan arms I bought off Xur, and then went from like 180 -> 240 immediately when I equipped that stuff. In under an hour of running public events and grabbing chests I was 264. I haven't even unlocked the 3rd subclass yet because it requires a stupid amount of events.

Also, Sparrows don't have any level reqs., so send yourself one immediately if you start a new guy.

It was a good time, I'm probably going to level up a hunter lady later this weekend and maybe see if I can find any goons interested in the nightfall late this evening. This game just feels great and fun to play.

Cool. I watched the worlds first when I was on vacation and couldn't play, so I can't raid with my group until they clear (they want to figure out the encounters themselves) so I'm trying to get my light up any way I can.

Get to 265 then do the "powerful reward" quests. Then over 270 do your exotic quests.

I attempted the Nightfall today. Between "just skip the rings, you don't need them" and "nah, no voice chat" I'm just going to do a run with pubbies because they'll be better probably. :v:

Also started a new character purely for getting the scout rifle from the Zevala quest because that fucker refuses to give me one outside of it.

You get the exotic weapon relatively early in the campaign, at least compared to when you get to choose a legendary weapon. It took me about 6.5 hours to grind out an Origin Story on a new character doing just the mainline story and skipping cutscenes.

I've decide the mod system is not so great. It costs a lot to change elemental mods, and the +5 ones are annoying because if you get a new piece of gear you like, but your current piece has a mod in it, you have to basically throw away that +5 mod to use the new gear, and then buy a new attack/defense mod.

It does take a while to get through. Also there 2 spots where you have to go level up if you aren't using XP boosts or something (I think I had to level from 8-11 before I could do more missions and then from like 13-15 before the last push) that kind of kill the flow. It's not too terrible, but I wish you could just run straight through the story.
