Just tell me I'm exotic.
Is anyone else just really hard up for Shards? I'm at the point where I can create Legendary mods to earn shards but that's pretty much my only source. Anytime I get a new legendary it's either an upgrade or a side-grade (piece of armor I don't have, usually). And since I'm a hoarder trying to collect sets I don't get duplicates often enough.

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
Some of the shaders are gorgeous too. I love midnight talons and the raid shader. Tarnished copper looks amazing on a lot of guns, since it adds a grid-indented pattern on the texturework on top of the surface finish

Everytime you get a bright engram, there's enough in there to dismantle for plenty of lovely looking shaders from everiss. It's a nice and easy way to look all fancy

You can also spend :10bux: for a bunch. Fund an extra boss or two for the next raid

This shader system is awesome, it gave me more shaders before lvl20 than i had in all of D1.
Also suros modular shine looks amazing on the magnetship.

I liked the old shader system because it was a collection I was building with an end point. But I like this too as it always gives me something to chase for.

No I mean compared to destiny vanilla, which I played a lot of, not destiny plus DLC, which I didn't play much after the first expansion. It took me a weekend to reach the end of this game and I feel like the game is shorter to play through.

I didnt even make a judgement on the amount of content, which seems the same. It's more that it felt like it assumed I knew how to drive the bus. It introduces strikes with this really brief "STRIKES ARE BACK GUARDIAN" statement and away you go on strike playlist without ever seeing a strike mission.

Gotcha, yeah it just seems slow at first but once it ramps up it seems so good. I love that I still have a lot of activities to do.

You can't go buy specific weapons any more but scout rifles might drop from Shaxx, Zavala, Kay at least. You also get the best PVE scout as an automatic campaign reward.

Nope. It's purely RNG. I wanted some stuff from the Exodus Down set and it took me days for Failsafe to give me the specific parts I want. Grab a scouting report from Cayde, start figuring out where the chest heavy areas are, do Patrols and Events, look out for high value targets. It took me like 25-30 minutes on average to get enough tokens to spin the slot machine.

Doing the raid will literally shower you in purples, to the point that you will feel that ammo is more valuable than Engrams. Other than that the easiest thing is to do Public Events and either get them from drops or trade for coins with the coin vendor folks. All the various rep/token vendors, including Gunsmith which you should aaaalllllways have a constant source of tokens for from breaking down trash drops, have been my most reliable source for them.

I ran my alt titan through to the campaign yesterday with an actium chest and can confirm this. The chest grants 10% of your magazine every second, so Sweet Business grabs 10 bullets at a time.

Basically for any AR if you are firing in burtsts you will never have to reload ever. You will literally run out of reserve before you have to hit the reload button.
