OK level with me guys, about how many hours do I need to sink into this game to get the Quickfang? Rough guesstimate.

Edit: gently caress's sake, it says I have to beat the whole campaign first? How long is that...

I hit level 20 in like two nights of casual playing for a few hours only each session. I think I have a handful of missions left in the campaign.

if they had this game's loot generosity with destiny 1's loot that'd be loving awesome as it is the problem isn't that it's a grind but a boring one, there's only a handful of good guns and most of them aren't even exciting. oooo boy mida can't wait for this generic rear end thing which is like the centerpiece for the whole game so far when it was one of the dullest of the good exotics in destiny 1, not to mention basically 95% of the purple weapons are just like bad rolls from d1 very nicely hand crafted bespoke dog poo poo right here lol

This thread is for discussing the superior frame rates and fovs, obviously.

Because we need you on our side to help scream and yell at Bungie online. That's how they fix their games and there was a glimmer of hope underneath the micro transaction exposé they did at Twitchcon.

The Token IB was universally reviled and the online outrage was massive, and within a week Bungie was going over how it's changing in season 2 and you can just buy poo poo again.

uh ok and they're reading the SA threads religiously I'm sure.

Also it cuts both ways because online outrage (from their precious streamers) is a big part of why nucru sucks rear end (in the bad way).

Fast enough to be noticeable but not so fast that you feel like you get somewhere sooner.

So like the difference between driving at 50 mph or 55 mph.

Play the game, get blues. Public events have a high chance per minute of effort to give you exotics, which help a LOT. There's no real pro tips other than save your powerful engrams at the vendor until you can't level any higher.

Lost Sectors, Public Events, Adventures, all barf out a Blue that goes up to 265. Plus they also give you tokens for the planet vendor, to give you purples (which are better than blues, but also cap at 265).

Powerful stuff resets on Tuesday morning, so no worries at all. You can't even do the raid this week so it shouldn't matter.

BTW - the "Exotic" quests (blue banner on each planet) give you a Powerful level weapon, so you can bump up your light a bit from running those (post 265) too!

play game. public events are fastest but i gained like 7 or 8 level in an hour just running around titan with a scout map from caide and a ghost that showed resource locations, and doing every public event that showed up, looted chests, looked for the hidden caches, did the little hidden dungeons, etc

Farming the same lost sector over and over. Find one near a fast travel point, as fast traveling will reset it once completed.

But also... have fun. Strikes are a slow, slow source of Light upgrades, but they're worth checking out.

Adventures are slower than Public Events and Lost Sectors, but they provide 69% of the story and lore in the game, and are just neat.

Don't worry TOOOO much about your Optimal Path to 265 because it'll happen pretty drat fast no matter what.

the secret is that if you are trying to gear up as fast as possible, you're playing it wrong, b/c once you hit 265 or w/e theres nothing left to do except the weekly reset stuff.

The strikes are actually pretty fun. They are maybe a bit long and they definitely don't give you even close to proper rewards for the time investment, but they are fun to play a few times.

Pyramidion is a standout imho, it's basically the Vault of Glass as a strike.

The nightfall this week isn't to be missed either, the modifiers are the most D1 out of the possible options, and the arms dealer strike is good.

I saw something about this earlier but I'm a lowly level 5 so far or something, so: There are things in skill tree I shouldn't be taking as a warlock? What things is these? Can I get a concise list of "do not do" things as I'm leveling my warlock? I don't want to ruin him, he is pretty with neat hair.
