I also did the Iron Banner grind and while I got all the armor except the bond for my Warlock I couldn't get all the armor for my Titan. I hate that Bungie changed IB drops to RNG. It was so much better knowing you could get what you want once you reached a certain level but now its all about tokens and the chance for loot you want.
The loot system is dull.
 
Well Buungie said they are listening to the 'lack of end game' criticism and will do something later and reveal more soon.

The irony is they said the samething in D1 and never really did anything.

They also said they have ideas on making duplicate weapons more worthwhile...but then, they said the exact same thing like 2 months ago and never elaberated.

Itt's actually amazing how little Bungie learned in the last 4 years...almost as amazing as how D2 hasn't evolved at all.

Too late. You'd figure this would've been the game; not an iteration of it. How many times do they have to fix it? I've stopped playing and haven't looked back. This is a bad time for them too, because people who are feeling the fatigue will gravitate towards the many October/November releases and never come back.
 
I got bored and stopped. Not much worth going after anyway. My only regret is not getting the Hunter cloak.
Hunter has the worst looking gear and is my least favorite character(but i use em all)
warlock and titan IB armor is must have gear.
The rate of it dropping os terrible though.

I agree about the drop rate for IB armor. I don't understand why Bungie made it so rare. I got duplicates of almost all the weapons, some of the weapons are pretty good or at least fun to use. But at one point I turned in over 60 tokens and didn't get a single piece of armor. According the IB emblem I got 37 IB packages in total. That's a lot of grinding for such a little payoff. Ohh well, at least my Warlock looks cool and even though I only got the boots and gauntlets for my Titan he also looks pretty good.

Ppft... Bungie said this, Bungie said that. I stopped listening to anything they said toward the end of D1 when it was apparent they didn’t know how to fix the game.
 
I still don't even understand what they want D2 to be. My best guess is that they want to push people more to PVP? They don't seem to want people to grind PVE as there's zero reason to, yet they made their IB kind of grindy with the RNG?

I'm not listdning either. Just telling folks what they be saying.

If they had a clue the game wouldn't be in such a state.

They made the game specifically for people like you, casual player who complains they have no time to grind.

Like I said before -and you disagreed with- they went to opposite extremes in D2. They give you everything quickly and easily but didn't put enough content in to sustain longevity.

How many times can they sell you an "update" to the game at $40 or $60? That's how many times they'll "have" to "fix" it.
 
So Bngie did their twitch con stream and detailed seasons.

Seasons are pretty much their content and update drops. Right now there will be 4 seasons per year, season 2 starts early December.

In season 2 the dawning will return. Season 2 will bring a new Dawning armour set and weapon set. New emotes, ships, Ghosts, shaders. Iron banner will have ornament to change armour. Faction rally will have new armour sets, better than the current ones. They will also be changing how faction rally works.

The big issue here is they announced this stuff but didn't address the end game or the fixed weapon roll solution.

They revealed some good info. But nothing about making Strikes more appealing to play. I don't understand why there is no increase in difficulty for something like Strike specific gear/weps. I'd grind that playlist hard for some cool looking loot. But it seems like Bungie not interested in doing something like that to add to the end game. :sad:

Yeah. They should take those Dawning weapons and armour and make them Heroic strike loot.

More worrying is nothing was said about the raid. No mention of new armour, weapons, ornaments. Same with Nightfall.

I also didn't see anything about new exotic weapons/armour.

They did show that pixelated armour that was themed for an unannounced activity/event. People seem to think it is DLC related but that seems out of context with everything else. Plus they have 3 reveal streams in November for the DLC and more info on season 2 changes.

Nov sounds like a dry month.....
Xbox One X Gears 4 and SW BF2 for me
 
Yeah I'm just going through the motions at this point.

I don't get why they won't do something with strikes. The strikes are actually pretty fun but I'm only grinding them to get my clan XP and that's it.

I can't believe that I'm so close to max level already. I feel like I've barely played. If my casual butt is already hitting a wall you know the endgame is weak.

Why are you grinding strikes, strikes are the worst way to get clan xp. Patrols and public events is much quicker.
 
Update (Oct. 23): Bungie will not hold its annual Halloween event in Destiny 2 this year, community manager David “DeeJ” Dague said on Twitter over the weekend. Known as Festival of the Lost, the event debuted in 2015 after the launch of Destiny: The Taken King and returned in 2016. Instead, the first seasonal event for Destiny 2 will be The Dawning, which is timed for this winter. “We may see it again someday,” Dague said of Festival of the Lost.

Can't wait for PC release tomorrow. I'm going to more of a casual player really. Maybe 15 hours a week at most. Any tips for getting started as a noob? Play through the main campaign first right?

You have to do campaign first really.

Honestly, best advice, take your time. Hopefully when season 2 hits they will fix the virtually non-existent end-game and weapon duplicate issues.

Don't do wofld quests till you are 290+ either.

For anyone on PC... be careful.



Now reading the fine print it says this stuff is just not supported, not that you will get banned. Anecdotal but some have said even a brand new computer with literally nothing but this game installed and some real basic stuff and they were banned. So either there is some huge glitch happening or Bungie is f***ing stupid.

Definately the latter.

If you haven't remapped your keys to get the G, A and F apart from each other, you're obviously pro-harrassment and kiddie porn and should be banned. #SarcasmFont

It never added much anyway. Then again neither is the dawning.

Everybody going ga ga over weapons and armour but it isn't actually adding anything new to do.

Count me among the excited for new weapons and armor. I'll grind the sh!t out of the same activities for new loot. I just can't help myself when it comes to the new shiny. For example I'm not a big-time PvP player and avoid the Crucible when I can. But better believe I'm in there every week for the milestone and lived there during Iron Banner.

But you're right Bungie isn't exactly knocking it out of the park with end game content. I do have confidence that this game will grow and change over time just like D1 did. We get DLC in December so we don't have much longer to wait to play new content.

It will grow, but that doesn't really change anything, it will always be lagging behind. I mean seriously, what activities are there? Public events are Strikes are pretty much irrelevant. Lost Sectors are pointless. Faction Rally & Iron banner are time limited. That just leaves Nightfall, Raid, and Trials. Even then the Nightfall is limited.

The weekly Milestones are ridiculous. They are weekly events that you complete in an hour

After all the bulls*** they talkked about D2 I doubt the DLCs will be any better than those in D1...and if the DLC increases lightlevel I bet the current Raid doesn't get updated.
