MIDA was my favorite gun in D1 because it let me pretend I'm good at PVP and I am glad I can continue my delusional power fantasy in D2.

I'm real glad that because 69 dudes will be pro trials players streaming to a big audience, the 901,488 of us that just like to play a quick card when we don't have real life to worry about for a few hours have to sit through a 4.20 minute intro for each match.

Think that's mostly due to everyone using glow in the dark shaders and ornaments in d1, while everyone is still kinda plain in d2

This is, sadly, more important to me than bettering myself.

I work until mid evening every night but Sunday, does the raid still have bookmark points like the Taken King raid did?

Also, is there a list of the exotics offered during the main questline?

-Sunshot or Riskrunner or Graviton Lance
-1 armor (don't remember all 9)
-Post-campaign quests for Mida, Rat King, Sturm unlock automatically

I think that's it?

I don't get why people are saying there's a big grind to level alts. I hit level 20 at like 240 light, then I got on my main, bought a chest piece for the alt from Xur, put my strongest guns in the vault, switched over and equipped them, slapped mods on everything that could take them, then turned in the exotic engram for beating the campaign and that alone brought me to 270. Then just turn in faction rewards and weekly stuff, boom, 275.

I probably got a little lucky with my drops, but it doesn't seem necessary to grind out public events or anything.

Granted playing through the campaign again is a bit of a chore, but at least it's over relatively quickly.

I just looked at the guide for that and I'm not sure if its even worth doing. Get multi kills with a shotgun that has to be reloaded after every shot? I think I'll pass.

Good Hunter, what... what is this post?

Father Wendigo posted:

it does but there's some wrinkles to it-

the raid has a sort of 'hub' structure to it. After completing a section you return to the hub and do that bit again to open the door to the next section. When you load back into the raid you redo the hub to get back where you were.

OR

there is a hidden lever puzzle that leads to an underground maze of tunnels that will get you where you need to go, skipping the hub. Although you have to beat each section of the raid to be able to access it from the maze, of course


for exotics:

hunter armour:
arms that ready sidearms fast PASS
legs that give bonuses to handcannons GOOD
chest that improves pole dance TOP TIER

but xur is selling the chest right now so there's that

warlock:
helmet that gives ability regen GOOD
chest that makes you float while aiming but only for dawncaller MEH
grenade arms for dawncaller OK

xur is selling the chest right now, helmet is only option for non-dawncallers

titan:
assault rifle chest GREAT
captain america punch arms GOOD
electric punch arms PASS

xur is selling the shield bash punch arms right now, but the chest is probably the best from what I've heard, haven't made a titan yet.

tbf it's like 20 mins when you factor in the first tutorial mission and the part where you chase a bird and punch dogs. It's not that bad but it's pretty silly that they don't let you skip that once you've beaten the campaign once.

I'd like an option like Diablo. Just let me skip all the story poo poo and level on adventures and public events or whatever. At least once you did the campaign once.

Because you are going through the campaign instead of actually doing a fun thing such as playing Destiny 2.

Who wants to play video games?
Does the reward system for Trials work the same as D1 where you only got a set of drops on your first set of wins? Or can someone that runs several Trials runs gets drops everytime they run it?

Yeah, the dropoff in fun for Character 2 was so severe that I'm just not planning on playing the third character until they give us the Insta-20 Skip the Campaign Item in 6 months.

Oh no I get that part, I mean when you're done with the campaign people are talking about spending hours grinding public events to get from 260 to 265 and poo poo.

edit: also random aside, but aren't region chests supposed to respawn at some point? It's been like 4 days on some of them for me, I thought people said they popped back up every 2.

Alts level insanely fast after the campaign/level 20, even with the cross class armor restriction.

Slap on your main guns. Level blue armor drops to 265+ via drops while doing public events and strikes and poo poo. Then once you plateau, do a powerful engram activity. Repeat leveling blues until you plateau. Do another powerful engram activity. Repeat.

My alt was higher than my main by the time I finished the weekly powerful engram drop activities.
