It starts at 750, ramps up to 770. You can fail it too if you either fail to fill up the bar after going through all the events or if everyone dies.
Oh ok that's much different. I already die a lot in the regular version.
I should go back to maining my lock like I did until Osiris. I would just have to play through Warmind, Osiris and unlock all the forges again....
All that would still be better than admitting that I even max my Hunter each season, nevermind having to admit if it was my main....

Tash, like most Destiny streamers, is a self-promoting tool.
Booo
Is the Warlock one at least different in anyway? I remember it being just a really boring sword
Angelic unless it has a reload perk for PVE, IMO. And I prefer Rasmussen scope. For PVP I like max stability - Rasmussen, Steady Rounds, Zen Moment, Killclip wtih Stability MW. This roll is an absolute laser.
Edit - Wait, Satou is the long zoom option. I have that one too and it's good for a long zoom scope but for most maps the short zoom is plenty. Rasmussen is the best of the short zoom.
Protip for Werner-99's bounty to get precision kills in the EDZ this week: Volundr and Bergusia forges both count since they are on Earth so you can do your forge bounties and ignitions while completing Werner's bounty at the same time. I wasn't even paying attention to that bounty but was doing a Volundr ignition just now and saw the bounty pop up as completed. Nice!
So Forsaken collection is $40 right now on PC. I haven't played D2 in a LONG time, but I've been thinking about diving back in. I'm assuming the PC population is large and pretty welcoming to new players? And is progress still "gated" in that you can only get so much good loot a week? I seem to remember that D2 started with weeklies as the only way to raise your light level to a certain point, and beyond that, you had one shot a week at raids to try and get that next bump. Can you grind strikes for higher level gear now?
Also, where does D2 land on the PC spec side? I see the recs on the site, but I still feel like it's worth asking. I'm running an i7-4770k with a GTX970...I know it's time to upgrade, but I just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

You can hit 1080p and a pretty solid 60fps on high settings with that set up.
Yeah, their feedback at the summit made the game better than it ever was. Bungie wanted to do only 1 random perk on weapons and all of them told them it wasn't a good idea.
There's so much weekly stuff to do now that only the very dedicated can do it all on one character, much less 3. And that's before you add in all of the pinnacle weapons and pursuits that can carry across seasons and will take most weeks if not months to finish. If you do the catch up bounty to hit 690 LL right when you start then you'll be 750 in about 2 or 3 weeks of doing all the powerful gear opportunities.
Spec wise you are golden. I have the same CPU and was running the same GPU until mine died. I moved up to a 2080 and now I'm pretty much locked at 144fps at all times. Maxed out you'll still be averaging over 100fps if you have a monitor that can display it.
Edit - Should have clarified fps is at 1080p which is what my G-Sync monitor runs at.
Frankly if I were you I would just normally play the game with heavy GL until Mayhem comes around, sure it sucks to tether a few guys and still get supered but its still the best way if you know a good placement to lay the tether trap, don't blindly shoot a tether into a group. I average 1 to 3% per mayhem match.
Sweet, thanks folks.
Guess I'll buy Destiny 2 again! I've been listening to the Bombcast E3 stuff and it got me all sorts of excited. That download is going to FUUUUCK my bandwidth, though.
Just good luck doing dailies/weeklies and getting prime engram drops, basically. If you do all the powerful drop stuff you'll level up quick - the iron banner bounties helped quite a bit too (5 powerful gear drops)
I don't hate ALL streamers.
I just hate certain ones. Ones that continue to insist the masterwork economy is good for player decision and investment.
The game is at a place right now where there's a crazy amount of Light-bumping activities if you have the time to grind for them.
- Gambit weekly
- Gambit Prime weekly
- Crucible weekly
- Gambit / Crucuble dailies
- 3 Strikes with weekly subclass element
- Weekly strike
- Nightfall
- Prestige Nightfall
- Flashpoint
- Heroic Adventure
- Weekly Dreaming City
- Oracle Engine
- Shattered Throne
- Black Armory powerful frame
- Black Armory weekly armor
- Reckoning
- Menagerie x3
- Prime engrams
- Clan XP
- Ikora 20 bounties
- Werner bounties
- Gambit weekly bounty
- 3 Raids with multiple loot opportunities
- Last week there was Iron Banner with a ton of powerful drops from bounties
Then consider: if you have the time for it, you can do all of this *on each character*.
But what's most useful in my opinion is being able to pick exactly what slot you want your drop in. So if you have a Class Item which is way below your average Light, you can *chose* to get a powerful Class Item drop in Menagerie. I can't overstate what an enormous boost to leveling time that is.
Yeah since I've been back I already got my Titan close to 750 (749), and my other characters are close as well. And this is all with match-made activities, haven't done a raid at all since Last Wish.
Man I had some crazy RNG today. Almost got the curated Kindled Orchid today (got Kill Clip/Rampage, but not the actual curated gun), and unintentionally got Jotunn at the end. What's a good kinetic to pair with it? I've been having a blast with it so far in Gambit.

At this point they're throwing cores at you, you can't still have a problem with it right?
It's really not, especially considering you can guarantee 100+ cores per week between all the bounties, in addition to some creative shard exchanging between Spider and Vance.
Any rando here on this forum could have given the same feedback - their influence on the game's turn around is a bit overstated, and we're still feeling the residual effects of the grind-fest changes that came from appealing to people whose job it is to play the game all day.
Link to the giantbombcast ep? need something to listen to on my dire commute
Apparently they do bring totally unknown and lesser known players to the summits. There was some chatter around the last one about respecting people's privacy which was why they don't disclose the guest list.
Yeah that's the same moron who said he doesn't capture points in Control because he's better at killing people than the rest of his team. I like most of the Destiny streamers and Youtubers, but fuck this condescending prick. I was glad when he moved on from D2 to Division 2.
I came back to Destiny 2 about 3 weeks ago, I was 474 and grinded my way up to 717. I am finding it overwhelming at the moment. There are so many activities, I am totally out of the loop. I managed to do the first raid a long time ago and haven't done any since. I recently picked up the Year One pass and plan to buy the new expansion in September. I just feel like a need some mates that play regularly to show me the way. Most of my friends stopped playing and literally every time I play now i'm on my own.
I want to acquire Outbreak Perfected but again, I need team mates because that mission solo is no joke. Destiny 2 seems to be in a good place at the moment, I just need some friends to enjoy it with. (I'm playing on Xbox if anybody wants to team up)

Does the Weekly Competitive bonus stack or just a flat 100 or 130 or whatever it was points if you play 3 games every week? Because I'll just do my weeklies in comp if so, I can only manage like 3 games solo before I just get too annoyed with the point system punishing you for doing well but still losing.
Hopefully the Sniper is a sign of how those weapons will be obtained in the future, far more fair, yet still very rewarding to the good players/teams, who'll get them much quicker

Add me: BlueNinja BE. I'm not on the Destiny-train yet atm, but I'll def. be back by the time Shadowkeep launches.
Will add you both I get home :)
(my GT btw is; Eski Boi)
Its pretty meh. I would rather use loaded question or Jotun any day.
Has nothing to do with streamer hate. People who act like assholes deserve to be treated like assholes. Mtash is an elitist asshole. Always has been and always will be.
I'm using one more than my filthy Techeun Force (which rolled with Kill Clip and Rampage), so... yeah.
Just play 3 games of comp a week. You get bonus points on reset. It starts out at 160, but when you reach Heroic I believe it drops to 120. So you only need to reach 1980 before reset to hit 2100
If you can win at least 1 out of 3 you should come out positive every time.
