Super. And with no pause or save functions, I don’t know what gear saved and what didn’t...

It all gets saved - you won't lose anything except time.

Could be worse... could be a true single player game that is tied to servers...

Just started it cause I needed a Danganronpa V3 break. It's as addictive as ever but the 4v4 in The Crucible is a little weird. I don't get why they needed to scale that back.

They want it to become an eSport.

Spoiler:
It's not working

The grind is real! Just got to 280, but I swear that it took more work to get from 270 to 280 than it took to get to 270 from the beginning.

Not sure me and two others I've been playing with but has everyone else see fewer players out there....like when doing Public Events or even around? The last 2-3 nights I've played I've been on all four locations and when a Public Event popped up no-one was even around. On IO and Nessus it's even worse. On Nessus it's hardly anyone on there at all except in that middle spawn point I've always seen 2 or 3. We were in the EDZ last night and at least three times it was just two of us. Three other times 1 or 2 jumped in but overall it just seems less are out there.....

....and on the Public Events, both of us were talking about it seemed like your damage you deal is far weaker than outside it. My co-op partner and I hit one with that large Sevitor and even though she is 8-9 points higher, we had the same identical Crit Numbers...(35) which we were like saying, "is that all were doing?". she was using a Auto and I had a Pulse. We're going to try other areas and modes to compare but in the Public Events it seemed like we might as well ben 15-20 levels lower with the damage we were doing.

When a public event starts and no one is there, fast travel to that location again. It may take a few tries, but you'll always end up with people. I did the flashpoint yesterday afternoon and there were tons of people around.

Never tried that, if anything I'll look and see if another is popping up and fast travel to that. I'll give that a shot tonight.

I do have a question about the Raid...which I've yet to do. Are you able to have "Save Points"...like how we use to do with Crota...and if so are there chests or what's the reward (it was usually crystals or whatever in the chests before. And is it something anyone can bop in, grab and leave?

public events scale to your current power level. So if you have 303, the public event for you will be 303..and if someone else helping is 80, it will be 80 for them. Power Level does nothing other than to gate some content behind requirements...like the prestige nightfall has a Power Level of 300...if you are 280 you will die in one hit. Once you hit 300, there is no difference on that prestige nightfall if you are 300 or 305...

I have yet to do the raid, but my understanding is you do get checkpoints to continue at a later time.

You do, but without spoiling anything, you don’t start immediately at the encounter.

I hate freaking Control with 4 people. The last 5 matches have been control. Also damn you RNG gods for giving me boots for two powerful rewards...

I hate control unless I am playing with a group...on the other modes you can overcome a bad team if you try hard..but on control you are fucked...

I started my second character last...the Titan and found it a bit refreshing doing the entro story again. Only got to Level 7 but I found it funny I was running to "White Engrams" again. Thankfully I did set aside some low Level Blue weapons on various levels from 7 to 14 to help out. Don't think I'll ever do a 3rd (Warlock) but I do like the Titan even though I just have The Shield which is pretty fun to use.

Having the Farm as my main social hub is where I was like, woah we're doing this again.

I've done 3 characters, all into the 290s, and if I never play this campaign again that'll be just fine with me. The first bit before you get your light felt like such a drag the second and third time through.

Bad question but how (or can I) do I join the clan here? I was in it for the first game and ran the raids with people up through The Taken King.

If you aren't on my list, send a friend request to my psn: ntlbrnkiller

I can send you a clan invite right afterwards.

I still need to get skill points on my last two characters as I didn't do any of the optional adventures. It was a drag just beating the campaign so they could go to the tower and participate in faction rally.

no level advantages in IB next week as it has been for Trials

nice armor though

https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/102...&av=3582969428

says nothing about IB weapons .... so it looks like they are dumping all the armor instead of a couple pieces at a time?! D2 I guess

Prestige Raid is also next week, but doesn't look like the power level will go past 305.

"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."

So like the Prestige Nightfall, just get a halo around your head?

probably just raid gear with ornaments

Like the IB outfits...seems like the Warlock and Titan have a bit of "Samurai" look to them which is cool.
