Destiny 2.0 (PC)

I guess the problem with these games is you don't realise how broken a gun is until someone is using it against you. Division had horrible pvp/pbe issues. I did see a youtuber banging on about the Lord of Wolves and it looked crazy in the video.

dreamers75 · 17-06-2019 11:14am

I used Lord of Wolves for a vangaurd bounty and was taking 2 shots to kill a normal Red Legion lad, unless I was in his face it took 2 shots.

gimli2112 · 17-06-2019 11:16am

didn't they do something with it in a patch where you can charge the shot? This is where the silliness comes in. I don't know I have it but haven't used it

Tazzimus · 17-06-2019 11:22am

Yeah, the Release the Wolves perk used to trigger when you killed something. I believe you can proc it manually now, so instead of the normal 5 shot burst, you get 10 whenever you want.

dreamers75 · 17-06-2019 4:57pm

Things I need help with:

Heroic Evenut on Nessus
Outbreak Prime on Earth

Actually all of these

Yeah the release the wolves perk can be activated by holding the reload button now. Ive yet to get the gun on PC. It was pretty devestating and disheartning to play against the other night. You would have to wonder if anyone play tested the changes givin just how lethal it is in PvP now

@dreamers
Have you got the whisper of the worm? Add that if you havent.

Id be up for doing a lot of that stuff as i still need to do it myself on PC. Off work tomorrow night so id be up for giving some of it a bash then if your about.

I see you have the truth quest there too. That should be doable in a night too.

ktulu123 · 18-06-2019 9:59am

KD add me on Battlenet, I can give you a hand with stuff too when I get a chance! ktulu#2750

dreamers75 · 18-06-2019 12:48pm

Wife gone to Pink with kids so should be on most of toda.....tonight

EoinHef · 18-06-2019 6:55pm

Ill be on around 9ish

ktulu123 · 19-06-2019 9:06am

It's weird, I really enjoy Iron Banner whereas I don't enjoy regular crucible.... I don't know

gimli2112 · 19-06-2019 9:08am

It used to be because you could get decent gear. When it came out I'd play through three characters until I got everything and then stop. I think it's a subconscious thing. NEED LOOT.

Calhoun · 19-06-2019 9:16am

Crucible aint bad if you have a decent team, otherwise you just get farmed by groups which can be a pain.

Dcully · 21-06-2019 5:22pm

I no lifed this when forsaken dropped, thinking of a return as im hearing there is a big surge of players again, 1 million concurrent recently afaik,,, whats new guys?

EoinHef · 21-06-2019 6:53pm

Content is mostly that of the annual pass an exotic quest or two aswell.

Personlly of the 3 content drops in the pass,2 are decent. Not that keen on the one that requires a lot of gambit but its not the worst. Although the convoluted nature of unlocking one or two of the forges in one of the drops is just plain busy work,the forges and their loot are decent.

Anyone on PC wanna try for the whisper of the worm tomorrow night?

ktulu123 · 21-06-2019 8:59pm

I can probably give you a hand with it dude. In other news, went to Xur, said to myself i bet he's going to sell me Lord of Wolves in the engram & what would you know!!! I got it hahaha. Hilarious

Calhoun · 21-06-2019 9:30pm

What do you guys play? I have a Hunter it's good fun but have no idea if I'm doing it right.

EoinHef · 21-06-2019 9:34pm

@DCully

Forgot to mention the season pass is down to €15 from €35 atm so might be good time to buy if your curious.

@ktulu
Cool man. Ill be on from about 9 if your about

Warlock atm,although ive played a lot of Titan class aswell.

Well if your having fun id say your doing it right. Theres various metas that will make certain activities easier but there not 100% essential in most things in my experience. The game is very wide now,plenty of activities to get stuck into.

I got into the game by accident, was watching gaming stuff on youtube and came across mynameisbyf and some of the other lore videos. I love the story of the hunters particularly last word ect.

I didn't like the pvp meta with the swords as i love the golden gun. I kinda also fiigured out that my fps mouse is so good for playing as you rack up so many kills.

Took me a while to figure out some of the stuff like Xur lol, they cycles in the game are so crazy.

I can relate to that man,lost mamy an hour to the lore of this game too. An awfully deep rabbit hole:P

Ikelos Sniper dropped for me thia morning,delighted as i bloody hate the boas who drops it so delighted ill never have to farm him again:)

The boss is easy, it's people not knowing to kill the thrall that are annoying.
Every time I run EP I always get shaders. Took I dunno how many attempts to get the shotgun.

Yeah i basically didnt bother with the boss,just used telesto for the thralls because no one else in the fireteam was killing them:P

Speaking of stuff like that,the amount of players that dont realise you need the prime slayer buff in gambit prime to damage the primeval is carzy,going for 21% delirium atm so been playing a bit the last while.

Glebee · 22-06-2019 8:20pm

I take it the season pass is really needed to get the most out of this. Have the expansions story missions complete but dont have season pass.

I got it last year and few of the lads I play with dont have it, hence not completing a lot of stuff until now.

Dunno if its worth it tbh.

ktulu123 · 23-06-2019 7:06pm

It's deffo worth it, I think it's going cheap now too so is a no brainer if you are enjoying the game

viperirl · 24-06-2019 8:23am

I've just come back to Destiny 2 after abandoning it not long after launch. I've completed the Forsaken DLC and have just entered the Dreaming City. Really enjoying it so far but my gear is nothing special, a few legendary's, that's about it.
No idea what to pursue next. Keep going with the Dreaming City or go straight to the Opulence questline if I can?
Feeling a bit lost atm to be honest and really don't know what tasks to be doing to get some decent gear. (Not interested in pvp and probably dont have time for raiding).
Will likely buy the Season Pass at the reduced rate if it makes any difference.

Any advice? Cheers.

Kiith · 24-06-2019 9:29am

I also came back this weekend, and working my way through the campaign again. Finished Destiny 2, then did Osiris yesterday and will do Warmind today. Forsaken last obviously, but i want to play through the story before i properly start the end game type stuff.

Does Forsaken bring about a big jump in gear? I'm around 300 atm, and my current upgrades are pretty small, ut i see people over 700 so i hope it's not massively slow.

They have changed it a little bit. For people like yourself and others, there is a quest chain you can do to get yourself up to 690 within an hour or so. It does require the annual pass I think, as it's tied to Menagerie. From there, you could then return to the story at the higher level, and with the scaling it'll be as challenging at 690 as it would be at 300.

Your Prime Engrams that drop will be at the higher LL. Rewards from completing the missions might be capped at that releases power cap, but again I'm not 100% sure on this. Milestones will also be at the higher LL, if you have access to them.

If you can do the Opulance quest line to get to 690, then go for it. One of the best PvE activities is The Menagerie. 6 man matchmaking, so you don't need a full fireteam. You are guaranteed to finish it, as there is no fail state. If you don't complete the current objective within the time frame, you just go on to the next one. So, the only thing that will happen is it'll take a little bit longer to complete.

Seems like you have to complete the raid before the vendor (Benedict 99-40) will show up. He's not showing where he apparently should be.

Any chance of me actually doing the raid, given how much lower my light level will be?

I haven't done any raid either but Benedict is in the Tower for me. I had not finished the Forsaken DLC when I checked him so he didnt offer me the quest to get gear to 690. I've complete Forsaken since then so I'll check this evening if the new quest is available.

Tazzimus · 24-06-2019 1:51pm

If it's a raid needed for him to show up, it'll be the original Leviathan raid, which is 300LL I believe.
Get a decent team and you could get through it fairly quickly, there's also ways to skip all bar the final fight for speedyness, via the underbelly.

He also recently moved, which may be the issue.
He's in the Annex now, near Drifter and Ada-1

He moved locations, he is now down the stairs next to the drifter in the annex.

Kiith · 24-06-2019 2:07pm

Yeah, that's where i was checking (after googling it). Not sure why he's not there. Maybe it's not having finished Warmind or Forsaken? I have the annual pass and dlc, so must be something i'm missing.

Reddit is telling me i have to finish Forsaken first. And maybe be level 50. So i'll do that.

Will see if i can get a raid going tonight. Should be a bit of a laugh.

SolvableKnave · 24-06-2019 2:53pm

The Leviathan raid isn't a bad one at all. Final encounter can be a bit... buggy sometimes, but it's quite enjoyable.

Just checked my game and the new Benedict questline is now available since I completed Forsaken. I didn't do any raids previously.

EoinHef · 24-06-2019 5:50pm

Ye its just a forsaken completion needed for the menagerie quest.

Jaysus may even get enough people to do a raid at this rate,great:P

Regarding gear,the pinnacle weapons are something ive started to enjoy unlocking. The vanguard ones and some of the gambit ones anyway. Not huge on PvP so not sure ill ever get the pinnacle weapons there. Pinnacles are curated roll weapons that have set perks and come masterworked already. You can grab the quests from the vendors in the tower.

Set quests for exotics are decent aswell. The sleeper simulant and the polaris lance from mars would be a good starting point to start unlocking them. Sleeper still pretty good for most bosses even if it has been overtaken by others as top tier dps weapon. Polaris lance is situational but still quite useful.

Destiny 2 is all about rolls now aswell ie perks. A good weapon is a good weapon but if you get a a really good set of perks on an already good weapon your in business. Try to start recognising the good perks. If you dont have the mats to level your good rolls still keep them,as a good roll of a weapon is not always easy to come by. Can level them later.

Glebee · 24-06-2019 7:29pm

Im reinstalling at the moment... never done a raid though..

EoinHef · 24-06-2019 7:48pm

Neither have i,think most of us PC still to do them.

Calhoun · 25-06-2019 12:22am

Its hard to find a clan in the game that isn't like a catch all factory. I joined one setup and it was a bit weird to be honest.

I know you can pug them but i have yet to try.

ktulu123 · 25-06-2019 10:02am

People are welcome to join the clan me and my mates set up. There were 3 of us and Eoin joined us the other day. You get weekly rewards for doing general stuff from it. Also the more in the easier it will be to setup a raid. Just add me if you want to join. Hopefully get a raid done in the next few weeks (Have never done one myself)

How do I add you? You got a bnet I'd?

Kiith · 25-06-2019 5:38pm

I'm in the boards clan i think, though i don't think there's ever people on. They could really do with a better clan/party management interface.

EoinHef · 25-06-2019 7:21pm

Got the Truth quest done last night. About halfway to resetting infamy rank for 21% delirium and about halfway through windigo grind.

Solo queing gambit feels like a chore at this point. Might just get the milestones done for it early this week and not bother for the rest of the week,unless we get a few from here that wanna play. A double infamy weekend would be nice about now though.

Working nights till friday now,ill be on friday night if anyone wants to do anything though.

The benedict bounties for menagerie are there for each character and the chalice upgrades are shared between charcters so switching once each character gets through the bounties should net a decent amount more imperials for one week. Ive 4 upgrades left to do on the chalice. Building a nice stock of runes now,plenty of blues.

Did my first menagerie lastnight, really good content but the "recommended 690 " is a load of ****e lol. I got absolutely bet from one end of it to the other.

When i logged in as well i also had a Borealis sniper exotic in my mailbox, i hear its good so was really pleased.

Going to work on the next mission of the 9 over the weekend and work on getting thorn.

How you guys doing?
