I'm sure I'll get used to it, but the amount of times I've flung that ridiculous little sun hammer off into the distance when I meant to melee the guy standing right in front of me is starting to grate. Not to mention the times where I actually do end up hitting something with it, but then have to spend the next 5 seconds scrabbling around in the dirt trying to figure out exactly where the hell it awkwardly bounced off to. This is usually right when I need the instant health regen gained from grabbing it, and right when 3 other fuckers are shooting me in the face.

 

Whatever. I supposed I should be grateful that we have the luxury of picking our specific size and quantity of Hammers That Are On Fire now. Small/Medium/Grande, what's your flavour.

 

I'm really getting to love my throwing hammer. And if you get it right, it bounces up in the air and you catch it and feel AMAZING.

 

I'm 500 Light now, having just finished the main revenge story parts (I can see there's more to do.) Got a 2nd bow from a drop (can't remember if it was Gambit or a Challenge reward.) Turns out, bows are fun! Really enjoying this so far.

What can anyone tell me about weapon tiers, upgrades, costs and masterworks?

 

This is based on my experience - might be wrong

 

Weapon (and armor) tiers are the new MW approach. Incremental rather than one off costs. Adds the stat and eventual MWs. Costs glimmer/shards/MC as the number increases up to 10

Upgrades - not sure what you mean? Mods? They are much more limited in spread now. I've seen CD, Boss damage, radar retrion. 5k to install. Gunsmith sells 2 each day

Costs - Glimmer, MW cores and planetary mats are all used alongside glimmer

I'm currently at LL434. Probably going to start hunting down those barons tomorrow. It's fun to be back in the levelling curve again. 

 

I did have to laugh at this guy on Resetera who appears to have forgotten how to play

2 story missions, 100+ vanguard tokens, 200+ crucible tokens, 200+ EDZ tokens and 3 hours of grinding PEs in the new area, net me 6 levels and 7 LL to be 417 with all shitty blue gear because fuck off with me having to travel to 5 other planets wasting more hours of gameplay just to get mats to infuse and get rid of this trash equipment ad actually use stuff want to.......


This is not fucking funny at all.

 

I've just been doing PEs in the new patrol zone and my LL is going up super fast considering the amount of work I'm having to put in.

That guy also has no ideal how to increase power either. If you do PEs etc in the old zones they seem to be power capped.

And once you get to 40 (and then 50) the increase from turn ins insane. (500+ seems to be back to the "powerful" grind as far as I can see but there's about 4-5 more sources than before)

That's been my experience too. Up to 40 my gains were slow and steady. Now I'm post 40 they're accelerating fast. It's a shame the old zones seem to be power capped at about 380. You'd think it shouldn't matter. Especially when you factor in flashpoints. I like the new patrol zone but I'd like having the option to shake up what PEs I do by going to another planet. Given that bounties are on every planet you'd think the PE rewards would keep pace. Maybe it's just a bug. And that were all going to be farming infusion mats eventually.

Just did my first new strike and it was brilliant, best strike I’ve played in Destiny 2 so far.

 

Spoiler

Prison of elders one, brilliant turn from old whiny bollocks!

 

500 does seem to be the soft cap but got there very quickly, had loads of fun today and loving the music - feels like Destiny is back  :)

We had a bit of bugginess in our Fireteam, too. For example, I've lost 4 matches of progress to the Crucible milestone at some point this evening, and I appear to be able to complete the Flashpoint (which will be for a second time.)

 

I had the Daily and Weekly one from your screenshot, although I've now completed them. I think maybe it relates to when you hit lvl 50.

I thought you were going to put your losses down to bugs for a minute there Mike! :lol:  I was going to remember that one for my own excuse pool but then you ruined it; you square :(;) 

 

I've got that card @Mr Ben and I've only done one strike and that was with gorf.

By upgrades I meant the tier 1, 2, 3 etc upgrades - how many is there? 10?

You have to pick up bounties from Hawthorne now, and completing them is the only way I've seen to contribute clan score. Some of them, from memory, require you to be with clan mates; most of them don't.

Do me a favor Mike - tell me if you've managed to complete the non-weekly clan bounties that require you to get melee kills in the crucible and arc kills in the crucible. Neither are working for me, and everyone I've asked who said they managed to get them done was not a Titan, so I'm leaning towards them being bugged for our class, but I need a fellow Titan to confirm.

Thats the only melee I couldnt get, as its not very damaging on other players annoyingly.

 

I might have to get that shotgun out of the collections to try.

 

A lot of people are having issues with these 2 bounties btw, according to the bungie help forum, so its not just me. The good news is the weeklies, and doing the other clan bounty each day, will get me to the 5k for the engram, but its daft that I'm being limited (unless I can find a work around).

Also I masterworked the bow you get in the campaign last night. Took me every last core I had. Figure it was the only way I was going to persuade the game to give me a different one. Now expecting half a dozen by lunchtime.

 

Got my first exotic last night too, though it's a Y1 job, Worldline Zero. Never bothered getting it during Warmind, though, so at least it's new-ish.

 

Slowly running out of powerful-gear things to do on my warlock; not sure whether to spend today building up the titan, or keep going and see if I can take on some of the Dreaming City stuff.
