But if you've just started playing the game, you're not at a point where you're ready to be top tier 1%er yet. Everything that I've seen (granted, it's not much) has said that Bungie wants to slow things down... that they've learned (ahahahahaha, like I believe that) from D2 launch and they don't want people with nothing to do other than PVP after 6 weeks. On a different note, how's the new raid? I think with the additions that were added yesterday, this expansion is miles better than anything we have seen in destiny. Great content, great leveling system, decent PvP balance (although PvP is still eh due to 30FPS and netcode) challenging end game encounters, plenty of resources to level up, pretty big grind, great end game patrol (something we never really had) less punishing if you don't do 3 characters and by far the best raid we have ever had. I went from "Ok I will try this expansion because my friends will be playing it anyway, I will probably be back at fortnite in 2 weeks" to "what is fortnite again?". If you like to grind, this is for you. If you like to play shooters without a grind, this game is not for you anymore (finally). So... it's pretty much the same as every D1 DLC.... That it's miles above it's predecessor... that they've made it so much better... that there's so much to do... that Bungie has listened... yadda yadda yadda. You sound like Datto and other Destiny only Youtube streamers. On a new note, it is nice to hear about the raid

Or it's done because there won't be a significant content update until Feb/March 2019 and they don't want everyone maxing out their gear and having nothing to do by Halloween?
Just my 2 cents
EDIT: Or I could be wrong... whatever. Things might have changed

Did Dragons Nest with a group, but it wasn't with the modifier so we did it again.
That last room with a rando with no voice... eff me.
We kept getting to the last set of switches then Rando Calrissian would just millenium falcon away for no reason.... wipe. twice with one, twice with another. We alllllllmost did it... I was a reclaiming, resurecting, healing f$$king god that run too.... res gun luv for all 3 of them... lunch box did work... it was awesome... Then rando doesn't take down a rusher because rando's dum...and that was that
Great core of guys but Rando wasn't headshotting. It was infuriating. I literally had 4 enemies marked and out in the open; Rando's aiming at the other side where there's 1 guy.
Sigh

Tips for this GE: Stay as far from enemies as possible. Shoot them in the head. And be or have a reclaimer

If I needed to get it done in a timely fashion or had a tight deadline, I would have... but I didn't so I was more than willing to pug it up.
Oh, and I did 5 of the missions needed for this GE (Dragon's Nest I haven't done yet) but I still literally have no idea how this modifier works. At least for me, it's a very confusing modifier... I died running through a train car in Hudson... no clue how....
I need to do more research, I guess

Oh, pugged a Carrier with a piss poor group.
It was so weird because we had no communication, no coordination, people only going on voice to argue with one another, we were all over the map, by all things considered, it should have been a clusterf$$k...
Every single time I've been in a group like that, in CoD or Destiny or wherever, it always ended poorly.
This time... I got to level 15 which is the highest I've ever gone to.
We went up the ramp and put all of our SHD into the turret at the back, and with 2 reclaimers and 2 rambo strikers, we did pretty well. We reclaimers both had great lunchboxes and I honestly have no idea how we did it. The 2 rambos were like swearing at each other for taking each others SHD tech threatening genital mutilation and rape of each others mothers, and calling each other every single racial slur on Urbandictionary.com while killing... the other reclaimer was threatening not to res people if we all didn't play a certain way. I would resgun the strikers and the other reclaimer would say that the strikers should "give me a thank you blow job for doing that because (he) sure as f$$k wouldn't because you guys are being a bunch of f$$king reckless a$$holes"
Honestly... it was dysfunctional as absolute holy f##k. Normally, these groups don't even beat a daily on hard.... but we got to level 15 and most importantly I got my 3 needed boss kills and got all for 4 shields done.
Now time to break my underground cherry.... guess I better see that new guy Keketch in the terminal.
Hopefully Benitez will st-holy-fu after that.

I meant resistance on ws1 to survive and get numerous boss runs... but I see your point
IS the named kills a group thing? If we take one down together but you get the final kill, do I get credit for it?

DZ is a blast rolling with a crew. Speaking of a crew... wanna do something tonight if you're available? I wouldn't mind finishing up the landmarks if you haven't... I also have to do the 10 WSPiers named f$$kers. That one is apparently easy, if you do it on WT1 (loot sucks, but you slaughter everything in sight with ease)

Best part about it; we didn't use voice... we just set waypoints to communicate with one another
And of course.... jumping jacks while waiting for the extractions

Ran DZ all last night...
Ran striker, got my ass kicked Ran nomad, got my ass kicked Loaded up my pure PVE reclaimer because... wtf not... I can't do any worse... did a supplydrop and saved 2 players with my lunchbox Pugged it up with them for another 2 hours, doing about 12 landsmarks and 5 full 9 piece extractions. Hell, I got a god roll SASGe with 349% stagger out of the deal too
Hell, a rogue tried to gank us... they ran like a scalded dog. Was fun!

the people on my PSN friends list are 79% D2, 20% Fortnite and others (rocket League, PSN free games of the month) and 1% the division. RIP Fortnite players if they want to crossplay on the Switch etc. I don't get it? What about the Switch?

The best indicator I have for that is just seeing activity is by looking ay my friend's list. the people on my PSN friends list are 79% D2, 20% Fortnite and others (rocket League, PSN free games of the month) and 1% the division.

God I hate that chart... They removed that data because far too many poor conclusions were being jumped too, like lemmings off a cliff. If they started revealing that data again, I hope they stop.
They used trials data in D1 to extrapolate that because those #'s were declining, so was the playerbase. That was false.
I had well over 2000 hours in D1 but had... maybe 10 in Trials (and only to do the Moments of Triumph)... and there are tens of hundreds of thousands like me... people who played D1 and D2 solely for PVE and maybe some Crucible or IB for the weapons/rewards/grimoire, but stayed the f##k away from Trials because it was nothing but metasmart players and DDOS attackers. So D1 should have been dead, but there I was, grinding the f$$k out of the Heroic SIVA playlist or doing NF's for exotic drops, leaving Trials alone and never returning.
Yes, Trials players, are super committed but are a very very very small percentage of D2's playerbase. They are the 1% Touch Football. It's a wellknown fact that D2 was all about the casual player, who played 5 to 10 hours a week, and those made up the vast majoirty of the player base. They didn't leave because of Trials; they never participated in it. They left because there was nothing to do.
All that chart says is that Trials of the Nine is dying. Nothing more and nothing less. To take that info and extrapolate that bigger picture-Destiny's #'s are dying was wrong then, it was wrong now, and will forever be wrong in the future.
If there was any PVP that could be charted that might be better, it could be IB PVP. But Trials has always been for the elite 1%ers and just because their numbers are down, doesn't mean that there aren't 50kX the player base doing NF's, strikes, extrawhateveritscalled Protocol, or other PVE stuff.
That chart shows that Trials is dying... that's it. And that can be explained with the release of the competitive playlist and grinding for the rep to get that exclusive gun
And I'm okay with that.

And?
Since when has Trials ever been an indicator about how good/well/healthy Destiny has ever been?

Here are all da shields; Deadeye (June) – "One shot, one kill": Complete all weekly HVT's in a single week Avenger (June) – "Seek and destroy": Take out 10 Named Bosses in Manhattan, 10 in the Dark Zone and 10 in West Side Piers Shepherd (June) – "Guiding the flock": Liberate the base of operations Hazard (June) – "On deadly ground": Clear 25 Landmarks in the Dark Zone Sacred (July) – "Count your blessings": Complete 10 phases, get to level 10 and kill 10 Hunters in the UG Phoenix (August) – "Never say die": Extract 5 items, survive for 5 hours and kill 5 Hunters in Survival Talon (September) – "Death from above": Attain a Commendation score of 3000 Rebel (October) – "Fight for your rights": Get to wave 15 in Resistance Fang (November) – "Tooth and claw": Complete every available mission on Legendary difficulty Prime (December) – "First and only": Collect 3 full classified gear sets Marshal (January) – "Law and order": Acquire all Exotic Armor and Weapons Chieftain (February) – "Hail to the chief": Achieve the highest possible optimized gear score [290] Already have a bunch of these, I guess I need to play some Survival at some point. And IIRC, they don't disappear... so Prime, as an example, you can do in finish up in January if you don't get it done in december. I will have done Fang, Prime, Marshal (I think so) and Chieftain retroactively. As for Survival.... guess I have to see the new guy Kekitch in the Terminal..... finally

No one plays this game anymore 100% False. If anything, the game is rebounding and trending upwards.

Yea, I saw you on Carrier last night... if you're free, would you hold my hand clearing DZ landmarks or going the 8 hvt's? I'm maxed out on intel so I should be good to go if you can Yeah man, I need the named elites in the dz, myself. We'll get it done. I cleared 3.... disappointed that those don't count towards the 25

When that happens blow your box and move. Huddling up gets you killed more often than not. Reclaiming is less than optimal on Amherst, at least run pulse or a turret if you do. Both times, the dropping of the poor lunchbox and the wipes happened pretty quickly and without much warning. The best way I could describe it was like in D1, when a titan popping their bubble in front of the party, just as the party is about to unleash Gjallarhorn death upon a foe. Besides, on the roof top (right when you leave the apartment and climb up the big ladder) you sorta have to huddle up. It's all good now tho
