So that Io loop for Faction Tokens, timed myself
Every 15 minutes, 70 Tokens, not counting the free ones from the new event that takes place in the zone, so add +10
1 hour 250-280+ Tokens easily.
Trostam 3, every 45 sec, more leg work, just running and tagging 3, but cycle is faster on Io, cause you can tag 5-6 caches, once it was 4, due to RNG placement
You can earn 5-6 in Io in 1 min, than 6 in 1.5 minut

It's a thing of beauty.
I hit 290 tonight. Not bad having never set foot in the raid and not rotated alts yet. Going to boost a warlock next to try and hit 295-300.

It's very doable without a mic.
What's the IO loop?
I did the titan lost sector for a bit tonight.. Got tired of farming. 600 tokens (30 packages) is loot cap, right?
After completing the weekly reset on my main I transferred all my high gear to my secondary character and began redoing all the weekly milestones as a 304 Light, but the powerful gear from the weekly's were only dropping for me at 294 on my second character.
Do weekly milestones not scale to your light on second and third characters when transferring gear, and if not, how do I increase my legendary engram power drop for weekly's for my other characters? Any help would be appreciated. Here's my current hunter:

Not seeing whats so great about the FWC handcannon. Felt really inferior to Better Devils =/
Are you alts all hunters? If they are the same class the game will nerf the power engrams if you have alts of the same type. To prevent power leveling.
Two alts so far (both hunters) and haven't started a third so that makes sense. Cheers mate. Thanks for the help.

Heads up that Destiny Status seems to be all up and working again. Not seen many people mention it but it's got a nice neat layout and offers a decent amount of information on it. Might be of interest to people so thought I'd share now it's back up and running:
Gear:
Reputation:
Checklist:
Time played and stats:
better range and better impact

I still don't understand the obsession with farming and all the light level guides. You can play any way you want and get rewarded and gain progression. With the weekly milestones, any speed bump you hit is only temporary.
This Faction Rally event is extremely generous with tokens; I got some 150 of them yesterday on my Titan from just working towards the Io Flashpoint and going through Lost Sectors on Earth. Faction Rally lasts through to the next weekly reset. There is absolutely no need to speed-farm these.
Destiny 1's Loot Cave I understood, because vanilla Destiny was extremely stingy with drops, but Destiny 2 is so much more generous that I just don't see the point of intentionally finding ways to burn through new content instantly.
Seems to me like some people actively want to burn through any new content instantly so they can go back to complaining how there's 'nothing to do'.
*Side note; The Chest Lockout Timer is ridiculous though and should be looked at.

You put the game down until December content release and play something else. Check out Divinity: Original Sin 2.
If event is extremely generous and makes it easy to burn through its content (read: get gear) you should expect Bungo to make it extremely not generous asap.

I did it both ways and both ways can be fun.
At some point in D1 I ran 3 Titans and tried to be among the first for everything.
This time I´m running one character and I ignore all advice on how to level up most efficiently.
I´m still up to 302.
I've found just staying out of the menus whilst loading in helps (still happens though).
Well if that Warlock is any indication, you can work on your fashion for all 3, lol.
?
The only thing I see happening is them changing the enemy supplies in Lost Sectors to once per day per character. It would kill the speed-farm and leave normal play unaffected. The people who use it to instantly burn through the content would cry, but who the hell cares when the base event is so extremely generous anyway?
Any activity in the game should be balanced around playing normally, not around people cheesing it to instantly burn through it.
I have one of each class currently, my Titan and Warlock are both over 300 through regular play and I'm still finishing story on my Hunter. I really like how they made leveling alts faster in this game. ^w^

Sound advice. Destiny is a dress up sim after all.
Close to having the full raid set.
Working on the New Monarchy set as well.
Next up is the Vanguard set.
Aaaaaand the IB set soon. (Hopefully it looks as nice as the IB sets in D1)
Bungo has long history of making their best to make thing unfun and slow grind so they nerf things that are generous, fast and/or fun. They love to artificially extend lifespan of content.

Quoting myself. Still nothing 300I still dont get how to have 300 engram from vendor. Been refreshing all planet with engram waiting max was 299(Im 305 of course )
But I got a lot of 300 blue for weapons. So good to infuse hem 305 legendary
Well look at how many people are crying that there's no grind in D2, they can't win either way.

Permabanned.
anyone up for the Nightfall on PS4?
If they had landed between grind shitshow that D1 was for longest time and generous shoveling of loot etc. into your pockets that currently is D2 I think it would have worked out. Happy medium, so to say.
tbh it did gave me laugh that players basically by accident blasted by even raid PL requirements during normal leveling process because how overly generous game is with PL progress.
I laughed, but it is fair.

Except Destiny 2 is very much more generous by their own design. No more need to upgrade weapons, no more materials needed to infuse weapons, much more generous Exotic and Legendary drops, a token system to earn Legendary gear through activities that didn't themselves give you one, being able to go for specific tokens if you want something from a specific set, weekly milestones that give you gear above your current level, clan system that gives the entire clan two more of those powerful engrams + a Trials engram and a Raid engram, no more RNG perk rolls on top of RNG gear drops, Xur practically giving away four Exotics for free every Friday, etc.
Even if they were to introduce some form of grind back into this, it would still be in an extremely good place. They could remove the Faction Token farm and slash the number of Tokens you get from activities in half and it would still be more than acceptable.

Game needs a court of oryx type arena, a big one that allows for vehicles and maybe some tower defence here and there, mechanics that allow for use of class abilities.
One thing is for sure, if Bungle want to see some forward momentum regular non paid content updates are a must and I don't mean festival of the lol.
One thing is certain, the osiris dlc needs to be TTK sized.

Don´t think it will be.
But I do think that the "Infinite Forest" could be something like an arena.
Jason Schreier thinks (or knows?) is could be something procedurally generated.
You cant change while the rally is active so I assume itll be weekly like in D1.
'Court of Oryx' type plaza isn't a bad idea, but here's a more simple one..
Horde Mode!
Combine the aspect of CoO/PoE and allow a place for up to 6 guardians to spawn in and go ham. A much more casual alternative to raids and something to do with more people than usual. You can even put it in the guided games project. You're welcome Bungie.

Currently loving the FWC Warlock chest armour with a NM shader. Probably causing faction frictions in the tower!

This. As much as i want a super intricate CoO PoE type arena section i'd love a simple horde mode that simply utilized the multiplayer maps. Load 3 (edit:6 could work too - allow for public matchmaking) players into a multiplayer map, spawn progressively more difficult baddies in with stages and mini-to-regular bosses and have loot chests every X-many round etc. Would be lots of fun and loads would play it given the correct rewards.
Yep I've tried that too. Oh well hopefully it gets fixed soon.

My clan did the raid and I decrypted ghost primus from the clan reward but it's only power level 10, why is it so weak?
Really keen to see what they do if they're indeed going the procedural generation route.
Good to see expectations are in check.

Me too. My dead orbit coat looks pretty crap. I might dump my hot-pink and violet shader on it to make it look even worse.
On the other hand, I got a Dire Promise DO-handcannon. It seems pretty good.
I realised I have to finish the campaign on my alt (PL279 right now!) to get to the factions in the tower. Time to speedrun those final missions that I've been putting off.
Lastly, I can confirm that attack damage is based on your gun's attack and not on your average power level. I tried using a 10-PL gun and it does crap damage against regular psions/legionaries despite my average PL still being >250. Upgrading it to 280 power made my Psion headshots go from about 30 to about 130.
So don't bother bringing underlevelled boss-killer power weapons to the raid/NF. Infuse them as high as possible, since the bosses will be PL 280 or something and take a lot less damage from a 270 weapon fresh from Xur.
