Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

I hit 276 (?) light today, its kinda weird because afaik you don't see your actual decrypt light level anywhere, just your own light changes depending on your gear but the whole light level stuff is very confusing and poorly explained. My blues seem to cap out at 267, purple engrams generally will be 267 too but sometimes they will randomly jump up much higher like 273 or 278, exotics are all over the place, some quests only give 265 purple gear, and then of course you have mods which can increase an item by 5 light levels but NOT for infusing, it uses the lower level for that. Just feels scattershot and not cleanly designed.

Also not a fan of the nightfall having a time limit and you failing if you go over, hate timers and shit that stress people out. Went in solo and it doesn't seem too bad but with a base time of 10 mins (you get a few seconds for every mob you kill) and all the elemental switching stuff it feels like its going to be more stressful than fun.

I am more disappointed than anything...

It is odd but i prefer the mysterious journey of D1 which was truly a clusterfuck. This is just a bad clusterfuck. Maybe this will change with the conclusion but so far the writing and progression have been nothing but shit tier.

At least the game plays well. .. Only thing good about Destiny in general really.

Sorry to be the one to tell you, but you're retarded. D2 campaign is miles ahead of D1.

Full ammo sniper should translate to full ammo rocket launcher, 100%. That has always been bullshit the way they handle purple ammo.

@Zarcath

Any reason not to dismantle duplicate exotics?

This is significantly better than the D1 writing.. Gameplay is fun and was the best thing about D1 as well.. moment to moment gameplay hasn't been surpassed or even matched Destiny in a shooter yet..

Some of you could whine about god damned anything...

Yeah, opinions and all that, but it's as close to an objective fact as possible that Destiny 2's story shits all over Destiny's. I don't even understand how it's possible to like Destiny and not think the sequel is better in just about every possible way.

Got my second warlock to lvl12 then had my nephew group up with me on his lvl20, who had patrols unlocked. We just ran the PE's on Titan for almost a couple hours doing patrols in between and hit 20. Pretty easy way to lvl up without doing the the campaign. Noticed a possible bug with chests / material resource nodes, sometimes when looting those we would not get anything at all, or just glimmer (even when just standing on the chest / node waiting for the loot indication), pretty annoying.

Ended up getting 3 exotic engrams in total last night from the PE's, and ALL turned into the "The Prospector) grenade launcher...sucked.

is there any advantage to not finish the campaign first on a second char and then do PEs and stuff? My understanding is that at the end of the story campaign your char is auto boosted to 20 if you aren't 20 already. I'm saving a few blues on my main at 271 and gonna xfer them to my alt when I level him so he can hit 20 and then immediately jump up to light 265 or something.

While regular engrams are capped at one level, the "challenges" drops (weekly quests) seem to have a higher cap but they only unlock once you are done with the story mode.

No particular reason on my part, I wasn't in the mood to run the campaign at the time, and then the xp started coming in pretty quick, plus we were getting a good amount of tokens / materials / blues. My power level at the time of turning in the free exotic from campaign was 270 (max equipped was 271/272), got a helmet decoded at 287 which I promptly infused into my better helmet. Max power lvl now is 274/275, with blues / legendaries decoding at 267/268.

^ lol i gotta roll a titan as my next alt

some dude solo'd the nightfall already, jesus

The raid that drops next week is probably gonna be on The Leviathan, which is tied into the (ex?) emperor of the Cabal Empire. Some lore stuff for people who are into that
[Spoiler] LORE - Rise and Fall of Callus, Last Emperor of the Cabal. • r/DestinyTheGame

The reason you want to be level 20 before finishing the final campaign quest is Zavala gives you an exotic upon completion. High item level gear has a level requirement now and you want to be max item level so the exotic will push you higher.

The majority of PEs I've tried at 20 have no people. Am I getting put in empty servers or is no one doing them? Tried multiple planets. Shit, it's even Sunday.

Looks like it's strike grinding time.

People were complaining in the beta that hunters were awful, is that still the case?

Gotten about 25 Exotics so far (6 Sunshots lul), all from PE's. Kinda makes everything else feel pointless unfortunately, would love more incentive for Strikes.
