Don’t shard any purple guns unless you have a duplicate. There is enough vault space to keep most of then without worry, and it can be tricky to tell what is garbage and what is a rare gem (Antiope, Manannan, etc)

awesome, thanks you guys! my xbox username is Sparrowface. i’m in europe so i’m not sure how it works with adding people and everything - can you just play with anyone?

also man, this game reminds me a lot of phantasy star online. i think that’s why i’ve been digging it so much.

Platform locked, sadly. But yeah, the milestones should guide you to stuff to do. Note there's some blue flags on each world map for optional adventures that kind of unlock a bunch of weapons, IIRC. And are you know, stuff to do.

1. Horde blue scout rifles, you'll need 5 per character to disassemble for one of the exotic quests
2. Save the exotic quests and weekly milestones (the blue adventures on the minimap) for when your light hits the pre-mod wall (was 280 but is now probably 300)
3. Do not visit the subreddit.

Apply to Bone Krew via the Bungie app. One day the Self appointed slack admin-King will eventually get off his self important rear end and add you to the com channel, but you should be able to quickly get into the clan itself via the app and see people online.

I would also ignore the negativity the game is very fun till you hit the point where theres nothing new. That point comes faster than expected for some but if this is truly the first console game in years than all the reintroduced D1 content will still be new too so just have fun and crank out the milestones you want.

Yeah, this. At some point the game will stop prompting you to do new things and at that point feel free to put it down if you can't think of a specific activity you want to do for random loot drops or for its own sake. But until you hit that point, the shooting is really drat good

The current trails/crucible system that matches based on location is easily exploitable using a VPN. 

Basically, by sharing a VPN, clan members are able to consistently match with their own if their group is big enough. I know because my own clan members invited me to join them to cheese flawless wins (also why I'm using a smurf account).

What does this do? Do they end up in a lobby by themselves and autowin or do they get so laggy that they're invincible?

They match their mates who are on throw away accounts. They win one round (otherwise it doesn't count) and then thwir mates leave. Giving them the win.

But who cares they are duds. They lose every game they don't match their mates haha.

Still funny though

Yeah this game is pretty much dead. Only a single dude in my 60+ strong clan logs in with any regularity and all he does is bitch about Bungie's poo poo design decisions and rage when he dies to "bullshit" in PvP.

I'm playing Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. A much better (topdown turnbased) shooting game, with more unique looking loot, tons of hidden collectibles, a better story and more likable characters than d2.

The ultimate goal of D2 isn’t fun it’s spending money in an addictive fashion to gamble on loot boxes.

God that's depressing. I hadn't thought of it that way, but it really is. And to think this all began with horse armor DLC in an Elder Scrolls game.

No you see it’s super easy for everyone to just ignore the microtransaction shop, which is why almost every AAA title has one and why entire sectors of mobile gaming are dressed up slot machines that don’t pay out real money.

I maintain lack of an endgame is everything wrong with Eververse. I'm seeing now there's deeper issues with microtransaction implementation in cases, for sure, but a Destiny 2 that played like Destiny 1 wouldn't be getting this heat. Few would care. Not to say it would be good for the game, I just don't see how this exact iteration of Eververse would be a problem in any way if D2 played the way everyone wanted on release.

I don't know enough on the topic, I'm not very knowledgeable about gaming today, I admit, but for now I remain the advocate of this devil.

E: Also I am retarded, full disclosure.

Purpose the season 2 Trials Scout. It's very good, it's like a Nameless Midnight with a slightly higher rate of fire.

I think in the ideal world, they would have branded The Red War as another expansion disc like they did with The Taken King. But they used Destiny 2 to try and back themselves out of a number of the corners they painted themselves into with Destiny 1 and instead went way too far trying to "open" the playing field.

My most major complaint is that they couldn't even be bothered to update the title screen for Curse of Osiris.

This, and icon on the home screen. Like, Bungie. Hey, guys. Maybe the giant as gently caress 2 over the burning ruins of everything we fought for in D1 is bad branding and you should get away from it. Maybe? :downs:
