If you see me online and are looking to grind some public events feel free to send on an invite.

How the heck does this efficiency thing work?

I think it's Kills + Assists/Deaths...don't know why they didn't just put in K/D. it's annoying not even showing deaths.

Speaking of PvP, it seems pretty much impossible to find a match unless you're on your own.

It has to do with a combination of Kills plus objectives. If you are 1.0 then you are pretty much getting decent kills and objectives etc.

Ah, did my first game of PvP earlier and I got 3.4, and it put me on the top of the board despite one of the other players getting 3.5. Not a very helpful system.

But it was the same in destiny 1 with k/d. You could top the table with a poorer KD, cause you got more points.

Your efficiency is your kills and assists devided by deaths.

It's now the same as in overwatch - you get an 'elimination' for taking part in a kill. Considering the game emphasises team shooting now more than ever, it makes perfect sense to report it this way.

Angron

Oh, I didn't actually notice getting eliminations for taking part in kills. Handy enough I suppose.

What the delivery light level and power in the roaster screen? Some layers have different levels when open their characters to inspect. Others seem to how a stat with their total kills in place of their power

Thats to do with which emblem they have attached, some show how many kills you have, others show how many public events etc you have done.

That took me way too long to get. I think someone posted that the update is about 6GB.

Even without the micro transaction aspect, making the shaders a consumable is pretty crap.

That's really crap. No chance I'll use any until I'm fully levelled now.

Anyone have any problem infusing guns?
I’ve an exotic that I need to infuse but it doesn’t give me the option. It’s the sunset hand cannon so not sure whether the same class of gun ie energy hand cannon or any energy weapon.
I know an ordinary hand cannon doesn’t work definitely and an energy sidearm doesn’t allow me either

Nightfall was easy enough

I got the PS Pro Destiny bundle on launch. Thing is, I already have the Digital Deluxe version. If theres anyone from the clan who was on the fence about buying the game and hasn't got it yet, I could look into doing a Clan discount on the physical copy, I have.

Infusion is now based on weapon type, so to infuse a hand cannon you need another hand cannon. You also need legendary shards which you get from dismantling legendary weapns and armour, unsure about what you get from dismantling exotics.

Best to hold off on any infusion until you reach level 260.

Here's the real clanger, you cannot swap armour gear to infuse, yep no swapping those warlock guantlets to your titan, sucks right, I knew the grind was coming from somewhere.

You also get the shards for dismantling the exotics, 5 of them

Had a feeling they would pull something like that. Will likely be added in at some stage of course so they can say they're listening to the community :pac:

Hail 2 Da Chimp

They always put some gatekeeping tactics in to slow progression at the beginning.

Which in some respects, is fair enough - as Trials and the Raid will be coming up soon and they don't want people power leveling and trashing those activities.
