Destiny 2... It's a coming!

Luckily I have some friends late to buying the game so I can at least do it co-op. Just need to start a Titan now. If someone wants to run through the story sometime skipping cut scenes and what not I'd be up for that some time soon-ish
 
If we get on tonight going to see if it's any quicker someone coming on a level 20 to run through with 2 of us at low level.
 
Not particularly as you scale down. My warlock is L20/248 (still only on Titan) and mobs don't seem to get thrashed that much easier. Though better guns certainly helped. If you are running with people who have already played it's quicker as you don't need to explain things.

Suddenly I see why the Speaker had no time to explain why he had no time to explain

Not many 6-7 ish if you just did the campaign alone. but I did lots of adventures and lost zones etc in between so triple that.

As others have said though, the campaign is basically a tutorial to set the scene. The real game is after it and after you hit level 20.

True, from what I've played in not really enjoying the structure of the story but I'm just getting it done to get to the meat of the game
 
Oh Bungie... What have you done?

I started to notice this last week, and in the midst of doing my own testing I found this post on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/7adxjf/lets_talk_about_the_xp_cooldown/.

There appears to be a cooldown or cap on experience gains similar to planetary chests in place. Which the gifs provided clearly show. Despite the amount shown being 2k more than the first gif, the experience bar barely even moves at all. This matches my own experience over the course of the past week when it took me a full 2 hours to grind one level doing nothing but public events, the overwhelming majority of them being heroic.

This is at best a gross oversight, and pure manipulation at worst. What's the point of the well rested buff if you are going to completely hamstring experience gained?

EDIT: Just got home, and uploaded some screenshots I've been taking of the matter myself.

You can see that for the majority the XP gained on bar seems pretty much the same even when the XP varies by more than a thousand. There's also some 3k in there provide as much as 7-8k, and one or two 7-8ks that gave me almost nothing.

The Microtransactions in D1 were not invasive and didn't really effect the game. I even bought a few dances. But this is a clear push for us to buy more.

I'm sad as I loved Destiny 1... But this sequel has taken so many steps backwards I don't think that even live team could fix it or make it D1-Y3.

Well that's annoying, can see Activision adding in a paid boost service down the line.

After a long night we managed to beat Bathing Pools and Pleasure Gardens. Despite the numerous wipes it was still good fun, managed to kill the dogs at about 1a.m when everyone was running low on energy. I know I was.

How the hell the raid would be pug'd i don't know.

Hopefully finish it before the reset!

Nice one :) , next week is going to be much easier as people know what to do and also have better weapons and higher power level.

Also you would be surprised how good some PUGs are (communication is key). I have done countless hard mode raids in D1 with random people each week, it just takes a while before everyone knows what to do and have correct weapons for each encounter as this makes the biggest difference.
 
How do I play this guys? Ive downloaded and installed, but in the Battlenet launcher the play button is greyed out. When I hover over it, it states I've not been invited to play

YEP, sorry little vague. Pre Ordered it months back, moved house 3 weeks ago and only just got PC up and running again. Downloaded it yesterday via the Battle client, just come home from work but the play button is greyed out.

Have you linked your bungie account to your battle.net?

yep did that ages ago. Just put in the game code again to redeem and now seems to be working. Weird.
 
If anyone's having performance issues - I just reverted back to the 388.00 nVidia drivers and it's back to normal now. On the newer drivers I was having quite a lot of dips, both before and after the 1.0.6 patch.

I'm on the 388.00 Drivers and post patch i'm having major FPS dips on my 980ti it's even struggling on medium at 3440x1440. Before the patch it was working perfectly no frame drops what so ever.
 
Bungie are aware of the performance drops since yesterdays patch, got reported on Reddit and they are looking into it.

How can they address an issue with FPS, release a hotfix to fix issue with FPS which then causes more issues with FPS. Bungie man.
 
Before yesterdays patch the performance drop was supposedly from Clans not loading correctly which they fixed but caused something else to happen.
