So basically, if you're not going to be above 265 light by the weekly reset, it's safe to do the milestones? If you think you'll get to 265 before the weekly reset, then wait until you are before doing them?

Basically, the theory is that milestones are always going to be a set amount of light over your current level. So you poopsock all week to try and get a bunch of exotics to boost your light, and then just before reset finish the milestones to get even more of a boost.

Or you could just play the game and not give a gently caress because your light will increase over time no matter what.

This is specifically about 265, nobody's talking about saving that crap in the hopes of getting light boosts from exotics. It's about saving the powerful gear rewards for when they're either about to disappear or are the only way to level up.

How the gently caress does this game not have loadout/profiles to switch between?

If you use it, the Destiny Item manager app has that as a feature.

Do we have any idea on whether we will be able to continue to get faction tokens now that the event is ending? I'm still missing parts of the FWC Warlock armor.

Tokens can be earned during Rally Week only. They can be turned in during Rally Week and during "Victory Week" (the week after, when the winning gun is for sale).

I'm guessing this will be a once-a-month event like Iron Banner, but they haven't said.

You can earn tokens until the weekly reset and redeem them until the next reset, after that they're gone.

You're also lucky that FWC is bugged and doesn't obey the 30-engram limit so get to grindin'

I'm up to rank 64, still don't have a complete set of armor. :shepspends:

Which I didn't even try to do, I've been doing a lot of public events and they constantly poo poo tokens at you. But now that I do the math on that, jesus christ that's a lot of destiny this week.

I’m happy that the FWC shaders make sparrows look even more like hotwheels cars than the original D1 trick sparrow




vvvvvv eh, Queens Wrath was hated almost universally while most people are happy or at least neutral with faction rally. Especially when it’s obvious that next time will have a different subset of faction guns dropping.

what do you think the odds are they pull it for "improvements" and send it to the Farm where it can run and play with the Queen's Wrath

Yeah if they made a full complement of guns for each faction they can pick 4+1 over and over and get months of engagement out of it.

Yeah faction rally is good. If you're missing any of the armor (which I'm not!) just throw a faction shader on the set it's derived from and you're fine.

I always liked the Dinklebot.

The same people who get really passionate about neeeeedinggg their guardian to speak also got mad about Dinklebot. They also love Failsafe and hate Asher. They eat soy.

I think Nolanbot got some brain damage when it fell off the ship in the intro.

I'm getting on tonight to do Trials just because I want to go see the spire once, I don't really want to play it out. My shameful solo queue losing streak aside I do pretty well in pvp still but it's a lot more boring with how much less often powers and abilities are used.

The official explanation is that video game voiceovers couldn't fit into his schedule indefinitely

Pretty much. I do like the acting just after getting off the ship and getting to the Farm though; the Ghost really sounds beat to gently caress and broken down over what just happened.

Also I know why they don't but it's a little weird how apparently every Ghost can speak and have personalities and stuff (and say and do things in the grimoire and exotic descriptions; in one FWC or Trials one I think there's a ghost that's glad his guardian died) but no one else's Ghost ever even shows up in-game.

What on earth besides Peter Dinklage could any person possibly want back from loving Destiny 1? Almost everything that was changed was for the better save for leaving behind the option to do 6v6 or "no cooldowns mode lol" for PvP

Yeah, lines like "Are you ready for creepy story time? I'm ready for creepy story time." and most of the Patrol turn-in dialogue is waaay too Gearbox for my tastes.

Failsafe and Asher can be overly HOO-HOO WACKY at times too, but they're also​gated off in their respective planets.
