That's dumb, guess that's the end of the game for me.You've hit the soft cap.
Once you hit 265, pretty much the only way you can level your increase power level is through exotic engrams, milestones that grant powerful gear/luminous engrams, the raid, the nightfall, and trials.
Also you don't need to swap gear around, the game is now smart enough to know what you have in your inventory and vault, and even on different characters. It will then determine what PL gear to drop for you appropriate for your level.
Whats that exotic sniper rifle that's a PS4 exclusive. I've never seen one in-game and have never even seen it when previewing exotic engrams....
It's the Borealis, the exotic sniper that changes elements when you reload.
So is the level cap going to raise soon or? It seems crazy to me that so much people are at 305 already and have finished the raid already. I mean do they have to wait for an expansion now?
I was kinda expecting there to be crazy rare loot drops as well. Maybe im thinking too much in WoW terms? I dont know..

Ok so I should be thinking crowd control instead of single target.

I've not seen it, my work colleague has it as does Arne from ND
Hmm, i wonder if the only way to get it is through a milestone reward then. The exotic engram previews never show it as an option. Either way... seems cool. I want it

Has that been confirmed as the way it's supposed to work?
I have a Hunter at 289 and a Warlock at 284 and the hunter engrams from vendors are at 281 and the Warlock ones are 278
"PSA: In D2 it's no longer advantageous to equip your most powerful gear when decrypting Engrams. We check for your best possible loadout now"
"Countless." are you sure about that? I was a hardcore of a Destiny player as they get - and it was not fun. We just did it to stay competitive. Why do you think Bungie started changing things as the years went on and we now have locked rolls? Did you also have fun getting armor and weapons that needed to be leveled up?
Chasing RNG-rolled weapons wasn't fun. Sure it was great for the person that got the god-rolled Matador after 10 hours of trying, but what about for the person that never got it? Real fun right?

Is anyone else having trouble joining the GAF discord?
The Discord link in the op won't work for me.
Which is the correct one?
Hmmm Lord Shaxx gave me another Better Devils. I can't tell if he loves or hates me. I wanted some new armor for my Titan.
Never-ever did this and I'm one of the players who sorely miss random rolls on gear/weapons. I had many scouts with a variation of perks combined with their archetype that made them useful and unique among many other weapon classes in which the same thing was true.
Fixed perks would be fine if there was, well, a lot of variety and quantity overall concerning gear/weapons/mods. It's pretty small currently.
That said, it doesn't matter as nothing will change concerning fixed/random rolls as this was a clear way for them to supposedly balance the game all-around and make it simpler to do so. As a result the game and it's gear is a bit basic and (I hate to use this word) bland (especially Exotic gear/weaponry).
This doesn't mean I don't like Destiny 2 but rather that I miss a certain aspect I enjoyed from Destiny. I have two 305 PL characters and one 304 PL character and can't wait to do it again on PC.
Careful with using your own anecdote and stretching it out to others. Just because you only did it to "stay competitive" doesn't mean others had the same motivation.
There is room for hardcore players that prefer different things. For example, I put over 500 hours into Destiny and I couldn't have cared less about god rolls as it relates to PvP because I thought the PvP was mediocre. Likewise, you did it to stay competitive. There are also min/maxers out there that loved getting that god roll as a drop.
Sure, there probably aren't "countless" amounts of people that liked that, but I'm sure the hardcore grouped that liked that wasn't small. I thought it was a good addition to appease those people, as frankly a poorly rolled Matador was still more than usable for almost all of the content in the game.

I'm stuck at getting 268 level engrams and can't figure out how to get anything higher. I changed all my equipment to blues to make sure I had nothing inflating my light level and still I only get 268's. What am I doing wrong?
Has that been confirmed as the way it's supposed to work?
I have a Hunter at 289 and a Warlock at 284 and the hunter engrams from vendors are at 281 and the Warlock ones are 278
I just think there are better design options than keeping people busy with shitty RNG. I'd like to have harder content and MORE LOOT with LOCKED rolls. Always down for more loot, but keep the RNG shit away.
I got it a few days ago, the ability to hold reload and switch to any element is cool but Snipers don't seem to have a strong place in Destiny 2 at the moment. Fusion Rifles, Rockets and even Shotguns and swords seem to be better Power weapon choices at the moment.
Does the faction rally award tokens for public events and lost sectors in other destinations, or is it still EDZ today?
I mean I think Id be considered hardcore by most reasonable metrics. I put in something like 2,000 hours into D1 and probably have a few hundred on D2 already.tbf, those posts have to be contextualized. the hardcore destiny players are used to sinking hundreds of hours into the game and still having a reason to play for/something to chase
Every location has them.
Reason to play: its fun to play. I still hop on D1 daily for a game or two of Crucible despite having probably everything of note except a god roll Luna (and whether I get it or not has no bearing on whether Ill keep playing).
What's the best beginner guide for Destiny?
I hit 20 and have no idea what I'm doing.
There was a milestone yesterday for collecting lost sector tokens in the edz that granted an extra stack when finished. But tokens in general were available everywhere. Haven't logged in yet to see if there is a new milestone today.Thanks. For some reason I thought the splash notification when I signed in yesterday said it was in EDZ.
Off to Nessus....

I really just think they need to separate PvP and PvE balancing. I think their weapon design is negatively impacted because they choose to prioritize PvP balancing. That's just my opinion of course, but I do think it makes the PvE loot a lot less interesting.
Doesn't that depend on the person? RNG loot rolls isn't objectively worse than non-RNG loot rolls. It's just different design choices that appeal to different people. I personally think there aren't enough interesting weapons in the game to warrant static rolls on everything. I thought that was the case in Destiny, and I still think that's the case with Destiny 2.
It's fine that they are doing what they are doing, I just think that, for a certain subset of the core group, that's going to be a big turn off and gimp the end game. Again, those "garbage rolls" were good enough to complete pretty much all of the content in the game, so I don't really see the point in downing that too much unless you really care about PvP, which leads to my next point...l

Faction milestone today is 3 strikes.
