leveled my titan alt and running around the planet titan just chain running (heroic) public events is definitely the way to go. Went from level 5 (had to go that far to unlock the titan planet) to 14 in ~3 hours and collected tons (115) of arcology tokens and glimmer along the way. Then when I hit 20 I can run it a few more times/infuse to 265, then run the campaign and all the quest gear should be 265+ and ever increasing since you get a few exotics along the way, plus all the xp you get after 20 counts towards bright engrams. Obviously a stupid way to level if you haven't seen the story at all, but its fast and has a lot of gear/power advantages over doing story first and then public events.
Titan is great because there is only 1 PE spot in the first area and you can just walk/sparrow to the 2nd area, which only has 2 possible PE spawn points both next to each other. I would do a PE, go to the next spot, afk for 3-5 mins, and usually the 2nd PE was almost done by others by then.
Glimmer and engrams are unique to each character but everything else seems to be shared, including consumables (not sure about all) and all mods/shaders.
Since there is no cross play or cross platform character saves we should consider creating a PC only clan.
That or add a last online for each person.I have one for PC up, just wanna see what bungie says about cross play and shit before PC release and if clan XP is preserved between platforms which would be a huge incentive to keep 1 clan. Plus they may increase clan size before PC release. 100 is a really arbitrary and dumb size.
I would think there should be, but we don't have any numbers to see. I'd like know how good the Class Ability mod is vs. Melee / Grenade mods. Also, has anyone seen a mod for the Kinetic weapons themselves? I've seen zero, and the only weapon specific mods I've seen have been for Element damage, all other weapon related mods have been on Armor.So I've been loading up my guy with Arc cooldown mods and am using the gloves that reduce Arc cooldown with melee kills. I find myself able to have a pretty decent uptime on both my Super and the grenade / ArcSoul abilities and that seems far more useful than the other things I can get with a mod.
Is there a diminishing returns point with the cooldown mods?
Is the road to max power thing in the first post still the most efficient way? I made my Titan yesterday and got to 20 just by dicking around in the EDZ but I still have the vast majority of the story left to do.
Spent ~4 hours chaining PEs on Titan last night. Went front 204 to 215. Seems shitty
Yeah I did the zone events between each PE. And no consumables, what consumables?You pop a consumable and collect caches all the while for turn in?
So maybe I'm wrong then and only the exotic quests after story is done drop at higher power level then. I only got 20 last night on alt and have not had a chance to advance story further yet.Do they scale though? I just finished the first two missions on Titan and the exotic reward is L4 power 105 even though I'm 20 and power 201.
