[QUOTE=CDBWhoop;1048241291) The Blight - trigger this by stepping into the shadows of the little blights and then stepping out and firing at the big blight (you'll have a buff for about 4 seconds that allows you to damage the big blight before you'll need to step back into the little blight to re-buff). Do this enough and the big blight will "die" and you'll have a boss to kill.[/QUOTE]

Until today, I have been one of those fuppin eejits killing the little blights. I now know what I have been doing wrong and repent all my transgressions and sins.

Which clan rewards? Your stuff for other people doing things or you doing things?

Engrams from others completing activities will drop below your light level. You get a power legendary engram for getting your own weekly contribution done though, i believe.

That reply can be read in a variety of tones

The Blight one is so annoying when people join and start killing the taken. Stop it I scream STOP IT!!.... but nobody listens

Was doing that myself last week. I thought you had to kill those smaller blights, probably 5 other lads around the world shouting the same thing at me

After levelling up the Hunter I'm not sure I can go back to the Titan. Hunter is just so much fun.

Got my Rat King tonight, NF was a much nicer prospect this week for it. Nade spam was kind of hilarious at times. Did the prestige NF too, so can get up to 301 LL now.

My brother picked up the Pro and Destiny bundle today, he’s no interest in Destiny. He’s already traded the game in but if anyone here hasn’t got the Expansion Pass yet and would like it he’ll sell it for €25. PM If your interested.

Ishtar Commander had been updated for Destiny 2 now, for anyone that uses it.

When do we find out who has won the faction thingy? Is there a way of tracking it or will bungie just tell us when it's over?

Updated on the sly. Clever, clever creature.

How do I know where the weekly flashpoints are. I thought it was supposed to be in my milestones tab? Have finished the game and am at 20. Do I have to speak to cayde every week to open it

You have to complete the mission to reopen the patrols, then return to Cayde before you can access the flashpoints.

Have you done Caydes patrol mission in the EDZ?

Saw a video earlier testing a 265 AR v a 289 AR and a difference of 3 in the light level. Apart from the Raid where it was marginal there was no difference in damage. You'd wonder why we bother. That said I did find myself playing PvP last night for no reason.

Took 6.5 hours to get my Titan through the campaign, 1 hour later he was 290 and that was without doing anything for Powerful Gear.
The game is wasting considerably less of my time than it's predecessor thankfully, aside from the grind from lvl12 -> lvl15

gimli2112

yeah there seems to be two points were you can't progress in the game due to level. I now know just to do a couple of heroic events but at the time it was annoying.
My alts always seems to be higher than my main which I fixed this weekend by running a NF with the master race

just about finished the campaign on my first alt, think I have 2-3 missions left, already level 20 I ran public events with wonda for about an hour and went from lvl 8 - 12 or 13 pretty handy which means I was able to blast through the story and not have to stop to level.

Also, once you complete the story and do a victory lap of the tower it jumps you straight to level 20. I think I was level 17 or so at the time.

This is very handy indeed. Just do the bare minimum required to complete the main campaign, and not worry about anything else. I cleared all missions and adventures on each planet first play through, but for the Lock, just did minimum required, and slowly doing same for Hunter.

yep I knew that alright, handy bit of advice for people who don't already know it though!

just wanted to few levels so I could blast the story, finding the hunter very weak compared to the titan, in terms of taking hits, I know that's to be expected but I feel the difference is bigger in D2 than it was in D1.

Thankfully you added the part about the grind there to 15. Thought it was just me. My warlock struggled through the campaign last night. Hitting 15, I could equip legendaries and a few bits and it bumped me nicely.

gimli2112

Apart from the odd mishap like a Warsat falling on me or Raid jump puzzles I hardly died at all in D1 compared to this one. Constantly getting killed in Public Events and even bog standard strikes.

Think I deleted my collectors edition sword. Can't find the name of it online and not sure which emote was meant to be included ("salute"?)

I have no idea, think I paid a tenner at the last minute to bump me to a different edition and don't know what I got for it!

I just remember it having a white handle etc.

The salute emote should be in your collections in the vault

Is it Green/Blue/Purple? I thought it was exotic... maybe it was there
