Destiny 2 |OT3| The Token King

One more package and I don't need to bother with IB anymore. Jesus, it's fking rough getting matched against pre-made fireteam 80% of the time

The armor sets is cool, but seeing how I can't even complete the Faction Rally sets despite reaching rank 42 (and getting Faction tokens is fun and easy !), no way I'm gonna torture myself grinding IB. Smart Loot my ass, I get two pulse rifle and two chest armor in a row lol.

I HATE the token system the way it is right now. Especially for timed events like IB. I got 24 packages and I still can't get the Warlock bond. Don't get me wrong, my RNG has been good. Got everything except the above mentioned bond, but come on. How much grinding do I have to do for a CHANCE at the bond. Let us trade in tokens. 25 or even 35 per armor piece. 20-30 per weapon. At least then I know what I'm grinding for. Holy shit Bungie, one step forward, two steps back should be the subtitle for your game. And I'm loving D2 but this shit is just frustrating.

:edit: Post match drops should be an incentive. And 10 tokens per win and 5 for a loss would make more people stay when their team is getting stomped. Just saying.

Agreed ! Token system should be additional way to receive loot on top of post-match drops and ability to trade tokens directly with gears. Heck I'll even take the ablity to choose between Armor/Weapon package like D1 reputation vendor....

Beyond ridiculous. I got my 5th Merciless and 3rd DARCI, 3RD eye of another world.... not a single new exotic drop. All I want is hard light... why is this game so cruel?

I get Tractor Cannon three times in a row yesterday (between Exotic engrams and Milestone rewards) and a few weeks ago Insurmountable Skullfort two times in a row. I really suspect there is something busted with the 'smart loot' system....

Same, I really want Hard Light. I loved it in D1. I keep getting innumerable pairs of Winters Guile from the few exotic engrams I get.
 
The reputation stacks for the three IB challenges is going to be active each day of the event, right? I'm done grinding tokens if they get rid of those "free" 45 tokens.

Is there a full list of current exotics anywhere? I get nothing but duplicates (and I have very little luck with PE's) so I bet I'm missing a shit ton!

Which is 40 wins. Or in my case 100 losses.
While I feel your pain (last night was brutal as a solo queuer, after good results the night before) if you do your challenges daily it's nothing like as bad as you're making it sound.

Would you guys recommend Destiny 2 to someone who only played vanilla Destiny 1 and though that it was just okay?
What didn't you like about D1? There's a lot to like in D2 for people that had issues with certain aspects of D1. The campaign is leagues better than vanilla D1 and progression to the power level cap is steady and rewarding up to a point - end game content is fun, but at the moment there's a lack of activity at end game and that's the main complaint you'll see aside from PvP which seems to be heavily in Marmite territory.

What fucking horse? Asking you to play the game properly and not do a stupìd glitch cause you can't spent more effort in improving the way you play or explaining somebody else how to is being in a high horse? Really?

How about working on your skills bro instead of taking hours to finish this raid?

Playing it probably takes us approximately one hour. Without the glitch and maybe one death.

We do noob raids and it takes us a little bit over two hours.

Calus with or without the glitch doesn’t save you lots of time if you are fast with the enemy cleaning the regular way.
4-2 starts without the glitch you whipe him out from the first fase. So we are talking about maybe 10 minuets here.

Hours LAMO

Hopefully gonna run my first Leviathan raid today. Going to be using the guided games system. Works ok for Nightfall, but let's see how this goes shall we...
 
We solo Croata ( the whole raid in solo )also but that doesn’t prove anything. :D

Well, he thinks it takes HOURS to finish the Calus face without the glitch.

So either he doesn’t know what the glitch is, Or he simply takes hours to finish Calus.

Lol, uh, he has done a lot more than just Crota.

I think using the glitch to defeat the Calus encounter was dumb too, so what?

It doesn’t mean anything, what are you his butler? lol

It was just hypothetical, finishing a raid solo , since you brought it up.

We are talking about D2 here.

We have always done it without the glitch, we tried it yesterday for fun. It saves you 5-10 minuets tops.

Who gives a rat ass what you think of the glitch? lol

Nobody asked you, but I guess you wanted to be a part of the conversation. LMAO

Maybe you should take a step back from your keyboard.

Been in the guided games queue for the raid for nearly an hour now (originally estimated as being 27 minutes). Safe to say it's not gone well.

Ok if this is coming from me, you know you fucked up

Relax!

No one attacked you
Someone pointed out that the Glitch for a win might not look good helping getting their clears, but in the long run it won't be achievable come next week anyway, so it's a moot point

Enough Lols, lmao, snide comments when most are being mature and having a discussion with you

This ain't the fucking GameFAQs forum.

When I'm the sound of reason in this thread, something went way wrong!

After 70h I finally have curtain call

Which will get replaced ASAP when you get Raid RL Sins of the Past!

Sorry to be the Debbie downer

At first I thought I saw 70 Packages, and I went Holy Shit someone farmed that many fucking strikes for Tokens, they Out-Tokened the Token Farmer!

Thanks for the help yesterday in accessing the Enhance quest. Turns out there were about five people at the Tower I still hadn't spoken to, including getting the Exotic engram from Zevala. Shame said Engram gave me an Exotic sniper.

On this, I've got the Exotic sniper and those Exotic wrist pieces which I don't need or want. Should I just scrap them? How many of those purple shards do I get for dismantling an exotic?

Plus, is there any way to increase my Exotic wrist wraps (Hunter) to match my power level? I got them during the campaign but they're like 100 PL. I'm 225.

Lastly I started Enhance but think I'm a bit off having a proper go. I'm about 35 off recommended light level and they strip my shields in seconds. Plus I'm playing solo.

Equip the Exotic that you want and infused it with higher piece.

Take those new exotic arms and infuse them into the ones you want

I'd save it until you're at least 265 anyway. Not only because it makes the quest easier, but also the MIDA will drop at a higher level, and that's much more useful when you're at the 265 soft cap.

For example, I did the quest on my 296 hunter yesterday, and the MIDA was 304 when I got it.

Well, if you feel like hanging out with us and giving a hand, I don't see any third guy desperately wanting in. :)

True. Give me a minute and I'll shoot over a friend request.

Edit: having connection issues it seems. Gonna restart destiny and see if that helps.

Great, so I'll save until I get some more exotic arms. They're the only Exotic arms I have currently, so didn't want to use them, and can't infuse with powerful arms because there's always an attribute on the Exotic which is greater than something I'm trying to infuse with, if that makes sense.

VERY useful to know, thanks. Will grind a bit and save it until I'm peaking out pre-Raid levels.

I need the exotic shotgun in my life. I still prefer rocket launchers to shottys in crucible though, can't beat those unsuspecting double/triple kills.

I just realised Saladin is voiced by the same guy who does Reaper in Overwatch. It's a small world.
