Do mods stack? ie two kinetic recoil equipped

Do we even know yet?

No, the previous mod is lost when you add a new one.

He's talking about how some classes can double stack mods on say, chest and class item.

Yes they stack.

I think the crucible and nightfall welfare engrams drop at current light. (Or at least 270-275 like a regular purple drop.)

What exactly are those? What I got from it is that they allow matchmaking in Raids, Nightfall and Trails which is otherwise unavailable?

You join either as a Guide (in which case it matches you with some Seekers to lead around) or as a Seeker (in which case it matches you to a Guide who then shows you the ropes).

Currently in beta for nightfalls, but the system's not enabled for raids yet. It's a kind of tiered matchmaking that clearly defines the sherpa / scrub relationship. It's one of the things I was most interested in with D2.

It costs 1 ticket to Guide, free as a Seeker. No idea how you earn more tickets. I'm assuming it gave me an invite because I tried to start a game as a seeker before the reset but found out it was still in beta. When the missus goes to work later i'll give it a try.

The Public Event with the 2 Walkers on Titan is crazy, I've had 3 Legendary Engrams drop from enemies in the past 2 times I've done it. Without a Loot Booster active either.

I forget, is there anything in the game that actually tells you how to infuse? I remember there were actually people in destiny 1 that got to like 380ish and somehow never knew infusion existed

Can you add an elemental damage mod to a kinetic weapon? If you do, does it move the weapon to the green ammo category?

Tooltip for infusion pegs it at 350.

I saw a group with 301 and 302 members wearing the prestige nightfall aura in the tower so 300 isn't the limit.

Don't think there's anything beyond the presence of the option when inspecting items. I don't remember a "you should infuse stuff to keep your favorite guns!" popup in the campaign.

No it's pretty clear they took the approach that with a few exceptions (acrius shotgun), prestige should come via pure cosmetics as opposed to the best gear. I think it's a good call, especially as they are going for pure pvp balance, even though as a no lifer I'm not getting OP gear relative to most anymore

It's definitely better from an overall game health perspective, but it's fun being that one rear end in a top hat with a god roll.

You can get above the 300 limit because of mods, so the max is probably 305 right?

Also, you cannot Guide if your clan is full. I think you can still Seek though.

My guess is that Expansion 1 will push it to 330 and then Expansion 2 will be 350.

Yeah, I haven't seen anything drop at higher than 300 base power. I believe 305 to be the current cap post-mods.

With infusion there is no point to sharding exotics.

I sharded a duplicate skyburner's oath just because I had bigger scout rifles already than the first one. It's just barfing poo poo at me.

Let me re-phrase, with infusion there is no reason to shard non-duplicate exotics.

Run toughness armor and slap the poo poo out of everything in a healing rift. It's really fun once you've got 3+ stacks

Completely insane on a devour voidlock. Kill dudes by punching to get health back, kill dudes by punching to kill the next dude by punching faster. You can often oneshot a yellow health enemy with 5 stacks of Winters Guile.

I think it's that flashpoint events spawn additional bosses.

Random named bosses do pop up in other places ( I've put down at least one servitor in the EDZ ) it's just that they're relatively rare compared to most other events. Most of them get a unique notification message too. I'd guess they're supposed to be a tier above the usual HVT's that pop up.

You mean you've seen Ether Resupply on Earth have an extra, big servitor?

Nah these are part of heroic public events and show up at set points.

And Ether Resupply is like the most common event in the EDZ...

Huh. I better get my rear end to ~~Mars~~ Nessus for a bit then.

And there's another named Servitor that spawns, it has a message like 'x has come to reclaim the sector' or something like that when it appears. _{But I still agree, hopefully they patch in some more events as things go on. There doesn't seem to be a Hive or Taken event in the EDZ.}

Also, like to shout out the folks who were handing out advice on Warlock jumps. Might be worth dropping into the OP?

i've only gotten them from rolling legendary weapon mods at the gunsmith. maybe bright engrams can drop them, but i've never gotten one.

I'd imagine they can drop from the weapon mods slot machine but it's not happened to me yet.

Edit: apparently yes, they can

Yeah legendary kinetic mods drop fairly frequently from Banshee's legendary weapon mod exchange. Also it took me until last night to realize that making legendary mods by smashing rares together doesn't cost glimmer. I crafted SO MANY LEGENDARY MODS WOW

I think it took me until today to realize that class ability mods only decrease cool down on barrier/rift/dodge instead of all of the abilities of the specified damage type. People looking at my gear must have thought I really loving loved titan barrier.
