Bungie themselves refer to them as 'expansions' they really should call them 'add-ons' if they want to keep expectations in check.

Yeah, it's really annoying, I just use Destiny Item Manager and stockpile my Tokens and Engrams now to avoid having to go there as much as possible.
Had 5 in a row yesterday trying to get in a Faction, just wanted to turn the game off.

Prestige NF this week is a good challenge and really fun!
I just loved tossing out Pulse grenades.

I'm trying to start one in an hour but I doubt it'll happen. So sign me up.

Do the factions have more possible weapons than are shown in the engram preview or just the 4? (aside from the one you can buy for 50,000 glimmer)

Yup but they are the same legendaries you can get elsewhere
I really hope they deepen and separate the pools
Nightfall was fun last night as a Hunter with smoke grenades...grabbed all the plates/hacked things while invisible...due to the fast re-gen of abilities I could go invisible as soon as the previous grenade ran out...also good for the boss section when he's in the force field (have the other 2 people kill adds while you're doing the plates invisible)

2hours from now
yeah, it was rough for me this morning...ended up rebooting my PS4 Pro and got in ok after that
Lol no it doesn't
Why are people asking for more grind, Jesus.
Heres a novel idea: you can play the game without chasing anything. If you have fun in the Crucible or Raid or whatever, it shouldnt be any less fun just because theres no reward - I mean the whole point of these rewards is to use them anyways. So once you have it all: use it
I've been saying this for years. I HATE GRINDING and I HATE this grindy faction event.
Yea, you no longer need Raid to be maxed out. I assume Bungie wants everyone to have the ability to play more higher PL activities without having to raid.
Delete this post before Bungie sees it. Hunters aren't suppose to be useful.

Does smoke bomb work in the gardens? We had that question pop up but no one wanted to test it lest we mess up our currently working strategy.
Yeah, I don't understand those kind of complaints... it's a little silly. I've not even had the time to touch my first raid yet... I'm just trying to focus on getting Rat King today.
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

Exactly my thoughts. I don't get the desperation for another carrot to hang on a stick: just eat your damn carrots.Why are people asking for more grind, Jesus.

The game shouldn't be balanced for people like me that play the fuck out of it. Everyone should be able to make good progress playing a couple of hours a day and the hardcore can have the challenging content like prestige, raid, and trials.

Got the st0mp ee5 last night at 305 PL, yyyiiissss!
I've heard these things are pretty good and decided to check them out in the EDZ. With high jump the height you gain from these boots is in-fucking-sane. Feels like I can jump over buildings, seriously. Strafe jump seems to get a little boost, and feels really good too.
High jump with the st0mp ee5's is almost too much though, I would keep overshooting due to the height lol.

Id like to go effectively fast so I would say you need to have it done once at least
Highly highly recommend anyone without raid experience to watch video guides to understand the mechanics. Less explaining of what to do and more time to coordinate and do runs. I watched enough guides that I was able to complete the raid without too much trouble in my first attempt just this past week before reset.

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?

and its easy to ridicule and/or be dismissive of the people that say they have put tons of hours into the game and realize how shallow the end game is right now/want something to chase(grind) but i feel that if it wasn't for that percentage of players this franchise wouldn't be nowhere near as successful. from word of mouth to the reddit strats, to sherpa duties, etc. i'd also hazard a guess they are the ones that get eververse booming
To you...to that person. to countless others it was fun. nevermind that's only one of many things that could be done to improve end game.

Do i need to be with other Rat King people with the quest to do the nightfall or can i do it being the only one with the quest? Please help
You should be good to go if you understand the mechanics. Shouldn't be too hard to find a group here.
You need at least one guy with the same step.

We (my team) just found out that one of the players need to do the entire mission first so i wont be able to do it today after all. But tomorrow probably if you can. Will add you to psn and invite you tomorrow. Mrzuith is the user that will be adding you.
"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?

Sure thing, just give me a general time range of when you're looking to do it as I'm not typically on at this time (but I can be).

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....
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.

How do you hit anything with wardclif? I was trying to use it on the cabal PE where you need to destroy the ship for the heroic and I got maybe 1/3 of the rockets to hit. Does the thing need to be right in front of you?
noomi

Think of it as a rocket shotgun, you'll need to be close(ish) for it to really shine... but not close enough that you will kill yourself.
I think the best use for it is jumping above a group of enemies and firing it down below yourself.
It's the Borealis, the exotic sniper that changes elements when you reload.

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