The two highest levels of difficulty also drop materials for Armor 2.0, and the droprate should be higher overall.
I'm in. And the tower is not emtpy.
It's 35 on the free track, and the armor is spaced out there as well. Initial reward for the paid track is the full set of armor + the hand cannon
If anyone hasn't yet bought Shadowkeep and wouldn't mind doing a swap to help me out, let me know. I have a bunch of GameStop credit as I wasn't planning on buying any other games this year, but they're not selling PC / Steam codes for this. So if anyone wants to do a code swap send me a PM.
They're two seperate tracks (free and paid). The HC at level 35 is the free track, paid track gets it at level 1. You should be getting the stuff on the free track too, but I haven't gotten that far to personally confirm it
It is. Special seems to be dropping often enough in general play to keep it going, but not sure how it will hold up for more challenging activities.
Gotcha, thanks!
You get both, just hit level 2.
It'll just go back up. The number is meaningless because the servers are still down.
Anyone play the new intro mission? How long is it? Gonna be starting up two new characters in order get the Season Pass armor for all three classes, hopefully won't take too long.
Also, where's the place where you can get the most detailed look at your character? Gonna try to make all my characters look the same, hoping there's a closer view than the char select screen, maybe in the Tower or something

I'm glad that they don't save the fact that you were literally just in the game so you just get kicked off the server to be put in another 10k queue.
Bless you, this worked. Now I can be in queue hell with the rest of you!
No it's not solo friendly if you want the best gear. It's a game you have to play with other people if you want to experience the endgame.
My recollection from something they said between ROI and D2 was that they had shifted to a much more easily scalable server architecture from preventing this from happening again (as it did for ROI). I assume that today broke whatever limits that system had :P
It is. There are more matchmade activities and guided games (if you're willing to sit out the long ass waiting time).
So I'm just under 10k in queue. Is this like Path of Exile where that only means a few minutes, or more like WoW where that could be hours?
edit: already down to 6k, so that's going quite fast.
edit2: okay back up to 8k, looks like I spoke too soon. ah well.

It is, most of the activities have matchmaking and leveling is very relaxed up to the soft cap. Better with others though and the end-end game activities (Raids, Dungeons, highest difficulty Nightfall Ordeal) don't have matchmaking.
A lot of the Destiny2 re-launch feels like a bottleneck situation (like main authentication / hub nodes are overloaded) while the overall capacity isn't really the main issue. Probably their loadbalancer wasn't working as intended.
Anyway, just wanted to note that Jasons take that companies have to buy and own dedicated servers - and pay for them even when they're not used anymore after launch - is absolutely outdated by some years.
Getting the Gold Chests/up to 850-ish first probably, though I only have like 2k-3k tokens total, so have to wait a little.
Another issue is that a ton of players' initial impression will be "Oh, this game has server issues and queues. Pass." and those possible-paying customers will uninstall the game right then and there.
I'm waiting til at least after story to see where I'm at. then just use the boost reach soft cap before reset/raidand powerful rewards if i need to.
I would hope spending the amount of time downloading and allocating room for the game would at least get them to give it a few attempts instead of just writing it off immediately.
I know they had that silver issue earlier. I wonder if that's connected.
I went up and down between 7k and 13k.
When queue finally went down I got server error and now back in queue fluctuating again.
Nothing like PoE.
That's a perfect-world scenario. I actually downloaded it in the background while I played Overwatch. Forgot about it until I got the "download complete" notification. Decided to give it a shot and hit the endless queue. ALMOST uninstalled it, until I saw there were server issues. Now, imagine how many people were in that exact scenario but didn't bother to look at Bungie Support?
I'm not pissed because bad launches happen and it'll get ironed out, but in hindsight it probably wasn't a good idea to launch a F2P model AND a massive new expansion AND a complete re-platforming all on the same day.
That would be a monumental task for even the biggest publisher, and Bungie just went to a self-publishing model a relatively short time ago. This really needed to be a staggered release.
WoW hasnt had a bad expansion launch since 2016, FFXIV just launched its expansion with a near flawless launch. Queues are a thing sure, but "queues" that return you an error and server issues are very different. As soon as I finished my queue in shadowbringers, I had exact 0 server issues.
Unfortunately you're right. I honestly don't mind cause i'm used to it since i've got a lot of old MMO experiences.
True. I just hope ppl don't give up that fast, they'd be missing out on an amazing game and especially being free to at least give it a try. But yeah, I agree, I'm sure there's more than a few that might have already moved on, and that's too bad.
It will get you everything minus Forsaken campaign and Year 2 raids and some exotics. Personally I would spend the extra $20 on Forsaken as it has the best campaign of the lot.
