I've been saying this was going to happen. Not only are they going to leave, they ain't buying DLC or stuff from Eververse. Yes they will. As soon as the new DLC annouced the new end game stuff, they'll go Caballs deep again. Addicts gonna addicts. This first part of the game was all about hooking new players... the DLC will be meat back on the menu for them, as well as the grinders. This way, Reddit can jerk it saying "we made bungie do what we wanted" This way, Bungie can jerk it saying "we gave you what you wanted" new players can have their fun because it's what they expect Old players can grind it because they have something to grind for It's a quadruple win for everyone. Oh yea... activision makes a shit load of money too Why are level advantages disabled in IB? because that's what the new players are used to in the Crucible? quick matches aren't level advantaged... right?

Man, r/DTG is an absolute Foxtroting salt mine today. Deej really pissed a bunch of people off with that "friends are the ultimate loot" quip about the endgame. I get that it was just him sharing a personal story, but it comes off as so tone-deaf toward the Touch Football community it's almost unbelievable that made it to print. Ya know, Deej, you're kind of right. Basically all my XBL friends are from this board and/or people I played D1 with at some point or another. The problem is that the D2 endgame is so gosh darn golly gee whiz shallow that half those people aren't even logging on routinely, and the ones that do are there for a Nightfall or two and that's about it. And that's exactly one month in. There's no carrot to chase, no reason for the Touch Football to keep coming back every week. Power level is all but meaningless, raid loot drop frequency is crap plus there's no unique perks, prestige raid loot is just a gold reskin of regular, and so on. PvP is really the only endgame at this point, but seemingly nobody I'm friends with actually enjoys PvP. It's great that they made things easier for the casual player, but in typical Bungie fashion they swung the pendulum way to far in the opposite direction from where it was. This game is going to be a ghost town in another couple weeks unless something changes dramatically. I was going to post this too.... I dunno if you read his reply to the masses but here it is: Reddit, that was a personal note from me about a nice moment I had with a long-lived friend of mine, not an official statement about Bungie's attitude about the endgame. I've always been a community guy. That's why I play games. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not an elite Raider or a 1%er in the Crucible. Games are another social outlet for me - a collaborative, tactical roleplay for an old improvisational actor who has always loved action movies. Destiny is a social game, and we have a lot of new players in our community who have never joined a Clan or opened their experience to another human voice. My personal story was as a positive example to inspire them to take a chance on us. If you seek more reasons to play, I'll see you in Iron Banner next week. If Crucible isn't your thing, good luck in the Prestige Raid. I'll sit that out. When the designers tell me they don't expect everyone to complete that, I know what they mean. Peace.This whole thing just reminds me of the whole "winter thank you present" in year 1 that was a purple weapon/armour and Reddit started to get pissy because Reddit rumourwhored that it was going to be a gjallie and everyone was disappointed. Honestly, I'm begining to treat reddit more and more like a news site, where I look for article about what/when/how to do something over "OMG WTF BUNGO?!?!??!?!" and I rarely check the comments section anymore (thought I do reply too) and I just leave the opinion pieces to themselves. But yea... it's hella salty right now

Mechanical changes to the encounters are minimal, but they are there. The Prestige Raid is about mastering a more punishing sandbox. Our goal is not to provide a boon to your character progression, but there are unique rewards to help you shine. Consider this your invitation to prove to the world that you are among the very best of the Raiders who overlook the City.

Good luck!
Deej also encourages you to be nice and befriend a randoMy challenge to every Guardian is to look to the human element in Destiny 2 to fuel your appetite for ultimate re-playability. The ultimate loot is the friendships that can grow out of a game like this. There will be more gear to add to your character (next week, even). The rewards that I’m talking about are the people in the community that thrives in this game. If you let them, they’ll make your hobby as a light-dealing hero on a starside campaign for glory even better

Nothing says "I love the crucible" like having your orb seasoned, danced, and teabagged by a big, pink Titan. Nothing. How did bradman manage to teamkill you? He didn't kill me... what are you talking about? I'm trying to figure out what "seasoned" means there but I'm not sure I want to Teh salt bae exotic emote... and it is exotic for sure

I'll take a look. I coulda swore TheHawkNY saw it too........ Did you kill yourself? If I'm not mistaken, it shows your current light level as the "recommended light" when you accidentally kill yourself. I could very well be wrong. ..... I could have gotten to close with the Dubious Volley. I'll check tonight; I want to run 2 nightfalls if any PS4bros are up for it

Question: I've never played the Savathaan's song strike yet... is tehre a way to do it normally or screw it and go blind into the NF? Jump into the strike playlist and hope you get that one. Otherwise, no. You'd probably have better luck just watching a youtube vid instead. I have.... lawdy lawdy have I

It was a good 3 hours last night... Got the Nezarec's Sin warlock helmet (causing void damage makes your void abilities recharge faster) and the SoDA at 301 :> Put the midnight talons shader on the NSin... oh my goodness. Got the last piece of Tess gear to complete my Optimacy Set... again: midnight talons on that one; my word! As well, I boosted a lot more weapons up so when I do need to use them, my PL won't tank. But I can hit 301.5 right now. It might be raid/NF time Now I just need that Stormcaller crown and the Karstine (spl?) gauntlets (the ones that heal you with melee attacks) bradman: you ready to make an Alt yet?

IIRC, Taken captains have a solar shield, Taken wizards have void, and taken wizards are arc So taken wizards are both. I don't how I play this game at times. $hit.... no.... sorry.... Taken wizards are always void.... taken KNights are arc. Multitasking fail,.... sorry Captains = solar Wizards = void Knights = arc I need more coffee

Exotic chance, decent drops (infused my RRunner from 278 to 304 from a 299 submachine drop) got 2 cool emblems
It's not like it's hard to get either.... even the #4 I listed is just a sparrow ride with a jump. Look at my 2nd post for instructions

I have a dumb question. Fallen (Arc) - Hive (Solar) - Vex (Void) – So the bad guys who are the ghost looking fallen, or whatever they are. They are all space'ish looking, black, etc...I think the Vex made some fallen look like that? Can't remember the backstory. What element do you need to break down their shield. Or I should say, ...if I get this right...any element gun can break down a shield. But matching the right element, will create an explosion when the shield is dropped. Is that right? So what element matches with those monsters? IIRC, Taken captains have a solar shield, Taken wizards have void, and taken wizards are arc

Nope. When they updated King's Fall I used the Cocytus and Cryptic Dragon. Those archetypes hit harder so if you get good perks, they do the job just as well if not better. Well.... good for you? Just because you didn't use it, doesn't mean that 90% of the player base didn't... I didn't literally mean "everyone" Hell, ask bradman, Member of the FWC's Lunchmeat Honour Guard, if he didn't jump ship to DO for 3 levels to get it.

If you're past the cap of an activity, you do not do any more damage past that cap. This has been consistent since vanilla Destiny 1. There was no scaling of light level present throughout Destiny 1 activites, the only instances power level scaling in Destiny 2 is in lost sectors and some patrol areas. Normal nightfall is capped at 240, past that cap you'll be doing the exact same damage as someone who's 305. There has never been scaling within a fireteam in terms of either power level or light level, to date there are no activities in Destiny 2 that has this mechanic present. I mean, I'd screenshot it if I remember, but I know that it says the NF was 240 recommended, yet when I was dead and waiting for a revive, the screen told me it was PL 289 recommended. Again, I'll try to screenshot it

www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/73zaz2/week_5_cayde_stash_locations_edz/1. Starting in the EDZ load into the Trostland and head straight ahead. If you remember the chests from week 1, the first chest is in the same spot. You go through the cracked brick wall as if you are heading towards the Salt Mines and jump up on top of the metal containers. 2. To find Chest 2 you immediately go out the other damaged brick wall that is down and to the left of Chest 1. Continue through the Salt Mines area as if you are completing the mission where you ride the elevator and fight the multiple servitors. You will eventually find the Stash after you go through a door on the right-hand side of the room with some fallen vandals and shanks... it will be on some metal beams towards the roof. 3. For the third chest spawn again in the the Trostland and immediately head left on your sparrow. Go until you see the wall with a big hole leading to an alleyway. Jump onto the scaffolding on that alleyway and the cayde stash will be about 2 floors up. 3. Quite possible the easiest chest ever, Spawn in the Winding Cove and head right. Enough Said. 4. Pretty tough chest, Spawn in the sunken Isles and head left into the tunnels you came out of in the tank shooting mission. Continue all the way through until you get to the area with the parallel bridges. The final stash will be just pass the bridges to the left-hand side right before you enter the circular pathway to leave that room on the opposite side of where you entered. It is tucked away on a dirt path.

Every review of it I've seen says that it's underwhelming and the exotic perk is even less.

Happy to help out on Polo2 if I'm on. Given how little time we had left last night, it may make sense to wait for an easier week to go for 5 minutes left. Kewll.... no biggie if we can't. If the RK was a god tier HC, then maybe. But since it isn't, it's not that big of a deal
