Is anyone else struggling to do stuff in The Dreaming City because the zone is always empty? I'm lucky if the there's 2 other people doing Public Events.

You go to Tangled Shore, or pretty much any other map in the game, and there's routinely 4-5 people at each Public Event...and they are easier than Dreaming City.

I'm not sure if it's just because it's early in the expansion and not a lot of people are high enough light level.

I just got my 2nd character to the Dreaming City now, already 510+.

Not sure if I'll bother to get a Titan to 50. He's 30 already so it's just going though the Forsaken storyline which isn't that bad since it's pretty fun to do.

That zone is only active during the first 2-3 days of a reset, with people finishing up Petra's weeklies, and Story mission. Once those are done, there is really no reason to be there other than to pass through on the way to Blind Well. Tangled Shore is a lot more active because there are more reasons to be there consistently.

You should definitely level up your Titan, and be sure to take the new Sentinel super... it is by far the best one they get.

I need to get my light level higher to do more stuff in there. I keep getting my butthole jammed at 502 LL.

Yeah, they don't really hold your hand there. It's backwoods ass rape land until about 530-540. Even at 553 I still get my shit pushed in by things, especially solo when the factions are warring against each other and there are yellow bars everywhere.

I'd also say, I imagine there's a lot of people that haven't even unlocked the Dreaming City. Having to do an attunement quest is probably new to most of the player base. I know a few people that thought the Tangled Shore was the end game zone; had a good laugh about that and made sure they finished that quest. It also doesn't help it's pretty hard when you first go there, definitely not newbie friendly.

there's also always been an old destiny trick about zone populations, there are "mid zone" areas where you leave one zone, enter a corridor or whatever thats unnamed, then enter another named zone. in those mid areas move really slow, as thats the time the game matchmakes you into a lobby. if you zip through it chances are you won't get a great lobby, but if you move super slow through it you'll probably get a higher pop lobby.

you can "zone dance" by moving back into the mid area, waiting around 30 secs, and then moving back into the first zone and usually you'll get a new lobby. people would farm some of the public event stuff that way. You can also fast travel to the same exact spot if there are fast travel points (I think dreaming doesn't have any?) to try and repop to a new lobby.

So I got a prime engram that said 539...decoded to a 536 chest. Annoying.

That boost thing was nice for my Titan. I am hoping it ups my cores a little by having another guy running through shit. Seeing people with 600 already and other characters in the 550’s. That’s some hardcore shit.

Something to help with masterwork cores until Bungie maybe changes the economy:

Ya....I get it. When you have 1000’s of shards you can make this work. But us plebs have like 500. Maybe others have more but I certainly don’t.

They need to up the drop rate of cores from purples. Then make cores a rare from blues, like the same rate purples are now. Then any kind of boss should have a chance to drop cores. That would help immensely.
