I didn't bother trying to watch the event. I did for the last event and it was like a 2 hour time commitment. No thanks.

It will be fun getting t-bagged at 120fps. :really:

I'm not feeling the new campaign so far. They just made the enemies higher level, making everything a slog early on. As usual, they expect you to play old content to level up a bit before playing the new stuff, which is always just dumb. It starts at 1060 which most people don't bother to get to, so at 1050+ it is punishing. Eventually you get blue drops that help you.
 
One big tip before you get too far in the campaign: they changed the way ghost perks work. You can now equip various ones yourselves.

The important thing is to level your ghost up to at least 5 and add a +12% XP boost. Considering all the killing we'll be doing in the campaign, you want that little bit of extra XP. My old ghost had the +10% on it already, but it was taken away.
 
You can grind the Widows Walk lost sector and get to 1200 in less than an hour. Probably get patched soon though

I am f***en distraught over my throne cleaver being made worthless. With no other aggressive frame swords I am s.o.l. for my preferred play style.

Gotta parrot, I did not like the gear level capping idea before, and I do not now in practice.

Yeah I was trying to keep an open mind on sunsetting. I figured we'd be grinding out all sorts of new loot, but a lot of the loot is just recycled from past seasons. There's nowhere near enough new loot to justify trashing most of our old stuff.

From what I understand too, there's simply not any options in certain archetypes.

I mean, I could live with it if this new DLC were raining loot down on us, but loot seems pretty scarce, plus it is just annoying to get the same old generic loot over and over.

The killer too is that I had a god rolled Outrageous Fortune grenade launcher, but it capped at 1060. So now I got a new one to drop but the roll on it sucks. I'm simply farming the roll I already had but couldn't keep.

I'm trying to keep an open mind on Beyond Light, as sometimes you don't get a good picture early on, but this feels super thin. Just having "campaign" steps as regular grind missions is kind of a tip off.

The only reason I'm playing this is my Xbox stopped all my downloads so I'm waiting for games to load.
 
Was thinking of jumping into the new expansion on One X. I own Shadowkeep and Forsaken on PS4 though (which I’m selling).

Could I get by with just buying Beyond Light then? Don’t really want to buy the others on another platform if they’re outdated and I have no desire to play their campaigns again. But I dunno what else I’m missing on.

Everything is on Game Pass now if you have that. All the expansions including the new one. If not, you can probably get a cheap code for a month and see.

The problem with the old content is I'm sure they will send us to the old areas like the Moon for quests and such, but most of it is useless.

The next gen enhancements aren't coming out until December too.

I will be playing this tomorrow. Anyone else playing tomorrow during the day?
 
Finished the campaign today. I was expecting a lot more.

Basically on the same level as Shadowkeep for me, ok but miles behind Forsaken.

I was really disappointed in the story. Was expecting something more interesting. Boss fights were pretty fun once I learned to not get tagged with stasis.

I'm worried mostly about the lack of loot. They might add more with the official season next week, but right now there's not much. I'm basically using my old guns that didn't get sunset.

Sunsetting + keeping the loot thin for this DLC is a real problem.
 
Too much stuff got sunsetted and they did not add enough with Beyond Light.

The game could really use a refresh to the world loot.
 
The whole doing bounties every week and turning them in for a higher version of the same thing is starting to wear on me with this game. The loot sucks. I really love the gameplay of Destiny but they seem like they will never get the loot and character build system down.

Beyond Light campaign is utter garbage.

Don't like the drip feeding of Stasis abilities.

What to happened to them getting rid of the bounty grind?

So far the Europa weapons are pretty poor.


Way too little content overall.

I was waiting to see your thoughts. Can't say I disagree.
 
Yeah can't argue with any of that. They sunset so much loot and added in so little, and every piece of loot is a major grind. I don't mind a grind for something special like an exotic, but I shouldn't have to do a million things to get a legendary gun just to replace something I lost with sunsetting.

Europa does look cool and the weather effects are neat. Otherwise it feels like a step down from Shadowkeep which was a step down from Forsaken.

The story was really disappointing for me.

Where is the darkness? The pyramid ships wipe out tons of planets, and there's no interaction or resolution. Just "ok thanks bye". An entire season was building up to the arrival of the pyramid ships all for "here's some new powers". Eramis is not the darkness and is just another pointless boss to kill. The Uldren stuff would have been cooler had they not spoiled the whole thing in the vidoc

Still have yet to bite.
Maybe I aint missing anything....

My hope is they slowly drip feed some more content, but so far I'm pretty underwhelmed.

Still though, with so many games coming out this fall, it is hard to put time into this.

It is because this story is being dragged out over a 3 year period.

Talking of exotics, do exotic engrams even exist anymore? I haven't seen a single one for myself or anybody in my fireteam.

I got an exotic engram from the season pass, but it gave me an old exotic.

I think you can get exotic drops from legendary lost sectors now, but I think they are pretty high level to farm. I haven't tried them yet. I've got so many bounties and quests now I don't know what half of them do at this point.
 
Haven't really started Beyond Light yet. Sounds like I might sit it out for another while.

I'm talking about general world drops. They don't seem to exist. Plus, the Master/Legendary Lost Sectors seem to only give exotic armour.

You aren't really missing out. Might be wrorth playing to keep up for when Vault of Glass comes back. I know you like that raid.

It wouldn't surprise me if they turned them off. Hard to say if it is just bad luck or something else. Now that I think of it, I don't think I've seen one exotic engram drop since Beyond Light.

I think most of the weapons are going to be from quests. I know Hawkmoon is coming but that's going to be a quest.

That drip feed...
