I think people need to chill and be a little more patient. The game will change and grow just like the first game did. Asking for things from the first game is not out of line. But I don't want D2 to regress back into D1. So changes will come but they will take some time. I believe Faction Rally returns next week. Bungie has made changes to the token system that sound good and next month we have the first DLC to dive into. This is a time with heavy releases of games coming out so there should be plenty to entertain us while we wait for D2 content to drop.

What a load of s***!
 
Goddamn it's about time Challenges, Strikes, and Patrols showed up. I didn't know I had to progress through the story to get them. I thought my game was bugged or something.

Yep. Pretty much everything is tied to story prrogression. Which is fine for your first character but is just annoying with your second and proper frustrating and a real chore with your third.

Yeah I was thinking that the intro is going to be a drag for alts. Hopefully they release a way to skip the whole intro in the future.
 
I started my 2nd character and the one mission where you walk really slow looking for your ghost is painful :)

Finally hit 305 on my main. Not really interested in factions this time around. Dead Shader will win anyway.

Hopefully the expansion next month is really something. Got 69 hours into my main character which isn't bad, although I did have to purposely slow myself down a lot.

I have just be cheesing Factions tthis time round to get the few okish weapons. It takes way too much time doing it legit when you have multiple characters to do.

"The holiday season is nigh, so you might be compiling your wish list. The PlayStation 4 Pro and the Xbox One X are now both out there in the wild, and either of them would make a great gift – even if it’s one you buy for yourself. We’ve seen a lot of questions about whether or not Destiny 2 would scale to meet the potential of new hardware. On this festive occasion, the answer is “Yes!”

On December 5, along with the launch of Curse of Osiris and Season Two, we’ll be deploying an update to Destiny 2 that will deliver stunning gameplay with high dynamic range (HDR) lighting to these new consoles. You’ll also see adaptive 4K resolution on the PlayStation 4 Pro and 4K on the Xbox One X."

So the answer is actually no. lol.

I'll spin it up again once I get that update.
 
What is with blues still dropping at 295-6? I'm 305. I think I found the grind. Getting all my gear up to 300 and getting kinetic weapons mods is going to take forever.

Nope.

300 gear - every 30 mins the light level of world NPCs changes and can be 300. Just farm a world and then wait.

Kinectic Mods - use shards to buy exoctics from your vault collection and break them down to buy gunsmith packages.
 
I'm having a real problem with all the duplicate items I keep getting. I'm using the boring farming method for Faction Rally tokens and when I turned them in for my Titan I didn't get the chest or mark but a boat load of duplicate weapons and armor. Now I'm working on my Hunter and again I'm getting duplicates like crazy. Perhaps it has something to do with turning in too many tokens at the same time I guess I should try and space out turning in the tokens in the hopes that my Hunter gets all the armor.

It is a mess. I only wanted the Dead Orbit helm for my Hunter, 24 packages later and I still don't have it. Got 15 DO shotguns, though:txbrolleyes:

Oh! and some blues do drop at 300. They are eiither totally random or they drop from heroic public events.
 
Reminder. you can only get 30 packages max from the faction vendors. That's 600 token. Also faction tokens are deleted from your inventory after the faction rally is over. So use them to level the faction even if you have hit the 30 package cap.
 
I beat it with hunter but didn't really like the supers. Playing it over again with titan and really enjoying the striker subclass.
 
I can't believe this new DLC stream didn't start by explaining how they were fixing this game.

And Oh! loook, Heroic strikes at 270 power hidden behind the pay wall.

LOL at throwing in the term "weapon forging" too.

Lost Sectors wont show on map til after you find them, not that anybody gives a crap about these irrelevant things.

Kind of hard to be positive about anything in the DLC without knowinfg how things are going to change with end game, weapon dups, and the whole unrewarding nature of this god awful token system.
 
Is there a quick summary of what's changing out there?

Why do they make heroic strikes at 270, knowing that we'll all probably be 335 soon?

Sounds like they are breaking the raid up into smaller chunks which I've been asking for forever.

So far nothing is changing. So a list doesn't exist.
 
I'll have to check Reddit for all the salt. Doesn't even sound like they are adding a strike.

I never get why they raise the level cap and put all the new content well below it.

3 new strikes, one is PS exclusive.

A new Public Event, the biggest evrr done, apparently.

Light House social space.

Brother Vance is world NPC with a world quest.

Forging Weapons: Essentially you have quests that give parts/ingredants that allow you to "forge" an Osiris thhdmed weapons. There are about 12 of these weapons.

Mercury: unclear if this is an actual patrol zone or not.

Infinite Garden: Isn't infinite. Has 3 time lines, past, present, future. They say it will be different dverytime you dnter. lol.

Lost Sectors & adventures.

Raid Lair: Smaller raid on the Ledviation. All new encounters, armour, weapons and cosmetics.

Power level raised by 30.

CCharacter level raised by 5.
 
Doesn't sound that terrible. Way better than Dark Below back in the day. Sounds like "some more loot" obviously doesn't solve the long term loot problem though.

Oh well, good for a few weeks of fun anyway. Actually it has been kind of nice not having Destiny sucking all my time.

But that is the problem, 2 weeks of fun then a 3 month wait. That isn't good in anyone's book.
 
You have to factor in the mods at +5 too. That's what gets confusing. The +5 mod doesn't count for infusion. You actually infuse the base amount (max 300) then the mod adds 5.
