Good shit, probably the best Destiny story and play to date. This is what the base game should have been. Loved the 8 mini boss thing.

Im not liking the costs for upgrading armor/infusing either. That shit is gonna get old real fast, especially for those that like different load outs, like to save sets. I had to take an hour to drive around titan last night collecting fucking mats to upgrade some shit. This gives me D1 vanilla flashbacks of collecting planetary mats. /shiver I dont know why thy would make this mistake again like in D1? So many people complained about this shit back then.

The drop rate for purples got decreased probably like 95% from yr1 so far im seeing. I think I got one purple engram so far and a few purple drops/rewards from doing spider bounties. Wore blues for the entire 30-50, which wasnt bad, but how are we to get all those masterwork cores we need? Since we need them now to upgrade some items? It seems like they made this change with the old drop rates. hope im wrong, its still early.

Love the new area and love the new enemies though. Plenty to see and plenty to do now it seems.

For the new weapons I got some vanguard shit, but for the new, I got a 450 pulse, Right Side of Wrong which is awesome, it has a distinct sound that is so cool, sounds like a fucking A10 warthog, lol. Also got some 150 scout which is cool, but too slow firing for my liking. I also got some sidearms and shit but never use them. Got a better devils with outlaw and kill clip that ive been using, fucking thing is nice. Still hoping for an AR to drop for me, I like to have one of those when I just want to chill and not pay attention that close.

The bow thing to me just feels off in Destiny. Dont like them at all. Dont like how they feel dont like how they shoot and not to happy they even added them to this universe. But maybe they will grow on me.

Well, they more than tripled the amount of powerful engrams you'll be getting via challenges per reset. I think we'll be flooded with legendary fodder gear.

I'm sure drop rates will get higher once you get higher level like it did in the last two expansions.

It also appears to rotate daily on what is needed to do infusions, I'm just hoping the mats rotate on the vendor as well.

Bows are also the shit, one hit kills and a fuckload of damage.

the clans listed in OP are open, you can just join yourself on bungie.net although they are not active at all so probably best just to find a rando clan on reddit or whatever

i logged in today morning, i don't own forsaken so just base D2 game (plus original two DLCs) and there is still a lot you can do without forsaken. legacy strikes seem to give up to 400 (?) gear and of course quickplay PVP is open. i don't think i can do gambit although i'm not even sure where it is on the menu or if I can solo Q. i saw people running around already at power level 500 so pretty huge jump up in gear. i can't access the reef at all so no access to the new social space and stuff.

Gambit shows at the bottom of the map in between vanguard and crucible. I added a few of you PS4 plebs, I'd like to do some gambit or something this weekend, currently running through the story with a friend so we probably won't finish up for a few days.

I dont think gambit is solo matchmaking. Its bring your own grop, another big mistake by bungie.

I thought I read somewhere they would have autojoin if someone left? I haven't tried it but I assumed it had pugs after reading that.

The fact they are already working on Destiny 3 is concerning. I don't think I'll buy the next one, there is no reason for D3 when they can just keep adding DLC to this game. It's starting to get ridiculous.

Destiny 3 will be a console iteration. Don't mistake a console bump and tech leaps for cash grabs. Sometimes it's just easier to force people into a new experience than backport everything out the gate.

Yeah I dont mind the bumps every 3-4 or so years with a new game. Thing about MMORPGS even lite ones like this one, they can get so bloated over time. I mean just look at WoW or EQ and their 10-20 expansions. It all becomes a fucking mess of features, old features...etc... A hard reset like this with a new game is good, imo.

Unless that changed from Saturday, it's definitely soloable.

I must of missed "matchmaking" while I was reading it while scrolling over the Icon then, never mind then. I was not there for the Sept 1st preview, was on vacation so I did not get to try it.

Just finished up the storyline and hit 50 tonight with 500 power. This was by FAR the best Destiny experience I have had with this franchise. The story was actually engrossing and I found myself invested in it. I am digging the inventory collections and the triumph system as well. All good changes so far. We will see how the grind is after 500 though.

My only real gripe has a bit of a spoiler to it so click at your own risk:
If our character is finally going to talk he should have done it when Cayde 6 was laying there dying!!!! Thats would have been much more dramatic.

So I picked up Forsaken and the 2 required DLC. Playing through DLC 1 and 2 now to get level 30 to get to Forsaken. I'd rather play them than skip ahead.

At launch, there were some tips, like don't get your final engram until a certain item level and such. Is there anything important to leave until the end now? I did see there are new missions on Titan and did that one, and a new one on Io I think. Haven't done that one yet. They gave me legendary engrams at the end. Hoping I didn't mess up doing it at level 22.

You did not screw up. The engrams you are thinking of are the Powerful Engrams. I am not sure if that matters much anymore really. However if you do wait to turn those in, wait till you hit a soft cap in Power Level or by Monday night (reset on Tuesday). I think they auto de-crypt if you have not collected them by reset time, but not sure with all of the changes made.
