    Reddit claims the soft cap is 500.

    It looks like public events and lost sectors in the DMZ drop gear at some weird level that's not your current level? I'm 430something and was getting drops in the mid-high 300's all over Earth.

    I don't think the soft cap is 500. I have a 503 hand cannon, and it's required level is 43.

    That'd be weird. I got 2 503 things from crucible rank, at 41 (43 req). It was waaaay above anything else I had. But if that's the soft cap, the 500-600 trek is going to be a hell of a grind.

    I'm confused how to purchase this, I can only find the 100 Aussie dollar legendary edition. How do you buy the expansion by itself?

    Took a bow into a quickplay match for shits and giggles before logging for dinner.

    Went 2.22 and was top of the boards till a bad run near the end.

    Dunno if that bow is a good example of how they play, but it was very good.

    Is there any way to offload excess glimmer for mats right now?

    I've yet to get anything above 370 from any pre-Forsaken activity (on planets at least) reward. PE's, patrols, etc.

    Enemies can drop my "correct" power level, for some reason; just not activities.

    I'm not sure if that changes at 50? or maybe after the Forsaken campaign?

    I hope that isn't just the way it is though. It'd make "two tokens and a blue" feel generous. :rotate:

    These past four years have been something, Pax Arcadia. I'll see you around.

    Wait, you didn't get the expansion?
    Nope. I think I've mentioned that in here once or twice?

    no shit? you're like the most active dude in the xbox clan. what made you decided to be done?
    also this thread moves very fast
    I far prefer the longer times to kill in PvP, and I don't like grind. I tolerated sub-second TTKs and random rolls and general grind in D1, but after getting year 1 D2 I don't feel like going back to that. On to of that there's some stuff I should probably start working on IRL so I could probably use one less game that wants to eat my life.

    Nolan does an admirable job, some moments sounded quite like the real deal

    I found in general his voice to be a slightly higher pitch than Fillion though

    Yeah, it's definitely off. He's doing his best and it's genuinely a really good job but he can't quite nail it. I don't blame him. I'm frankly really impressed. But it's just really weird in a lot of the scenes because it's just not quite right.

    I think though the parts where he does nail it, where it really does work, are the really big scenes so it's solid overall. When it really matters it works so overall I'm alright with it. A bit sad Fillion couldn't be around for the big sendoff.

    So about the new Super mission...
    I assume they're all the same regardless of class since you just get the spark thing and pick what to apply it to.

    What is up with the Traveler (I assume that's who was speaking?) saying, approximately, "You may be kings and queens of the Deep but you toppled Oryx and did not replace him."

    The rest of the lines seemed fitting for the Traveler (Light is everywhere, humanity must be protected, etc) but that one really jumped out at me.

    Nice. I guess clan engrams are back to being powerful rewards. Or was that your clan XP reward?
    Wing Discipline is, I believe, the new Crucible set.

    So if you had any Clan rewards on Suraya that hadn’t been claimed, they’re gone.

    Not autodecrypted and in the postmaster, but just gone. I must have had ... jeez, I’m gonna guess at LEAST 10 of them, and all she had for me this evening was the new Clan reward (level 43 Better Devils with Triple Tap and Hipfire of all things).

    Pretty sure they are all quote of things previously said in destiny. The first is when Ghaul ask the Speaker what makes a guardian. I forget what the 2nd was, but that last one is a Toland quote.

    "You fools! You disastrous, bumbling squanderers! It's not right! Who now shall be First Navigator, Lord of Shapes, harrowed god, Taken King? Not you! You might have been Kings and Queens of the Deep! But you have toppled Oryx and you have not replaced him!

    There must be a strongest one. It is the architecture of these spaces.

    Why are you leaving? "

    Well, that’s the campaign done. What a hell of a ride that was. Also managed to juuuust hit 50 before logging as well. Went back to the tower and hooooly shit there is so much to do. Like, easily 20x as much daily/weekly to get done, and that’s just one character. Long gone are the days of wrapping all your milestones up in a single day across three characters. I won’t spoil anything, but I will say there are at least a handful of powerful daily rewards, though not nearly as many as weekly.

    I am so excited to sink my teeth into the post-game lvl 50 side of things, which is the first time I’ve been able to say that regarding Destiny 2.

    Edit: Also, Shaxx gave me a Better Devils with rangefinder and zen moment. My fears about random rolls have been assuaged.

    I'm having a hard time using a weapon that isn't a bow. We'll see how that goes in harder PvE content, but they're basically railguns skinned as bows. Deeply satisfying and very strong.

    Hmm. The collections, triumphs and big vault, are things that make me say that I will give Destiny 2(.5) a proper go... starting with finishing the previous two DLC campaigns. :pop:


    Though their insistence on punching out (claiming) things you completed in the triumphs is annoying. I think that's how I lost out on the first shirt. did the thing but didn't click it off or whatever, but eh. new beginnings.

    43 is the last level gate for using weapons/armor that I’ve seen so far, 500 light is definitely the soft cap once you’re lvl 50.

    So I think I heard a while back that Seth Dickinson is back? Or at least was back temporarily? Because he absolutely wrote the card "Refusal" in the Awoken of the Reef section and ain't nobody gonna convince me different.

    Having a blast playing through the story in a group. Bow are just aces and the new Warlock arc super is absolutely ridiculous. The 400 strike with a the trains and a surprise return of an old NPC was a blast. Brought back good and bad memories of the dozens of hours spent in a D1 raid.

    For any other PC users that run 144fps+ and/or with G-Sync or Freesync I seem to have solved my stuttering and broccoli crashes by limiting my frame rate. I'm experimenting to see how high I can go until I start crashing every 15 minutes, but I think I'm up to 120fps cap without crashing anymore. I've been chasing my stuttering and crashing for almost two months now and I think I've finally found a fix. Thank fucking god.

    They gave is Gambit as a promo/test for 1 day and in under 24 hours people had basically broken the gamemode across their knees.

    I can confirm, 500 is the soft cap.

    It seems pretty damn far away from 600, but with more sources of powerful engrams maybe it won't be so bad?

    Guess we will see.

    Oh boy. Played a lot. Bows are better off than I thought they would be. Air accuracy is a defining trait I think.

    Didn’t pvp much. Did the whole campaign. Easily their best one yet. And I say that as someone who really liked TTK.

    Some weird stuff going on

    I was hoping...(campaign spoilers below)
    with the last baron talking about how much you enjoyed killing the others fir revenge... I was hoping so hard that this whole thing was a savathun ruse to “take” us. Corrupt us by having us murder all these barons to avenge cause. Woulda been too cool

    I haven't unlocked it, but I think
    it's the quest you get from Ikora after the inital PoE stuff, to collect light thingies and then go somewhere

    Might be wrong there.

    Kinda annoyed the new supers are tied directly into the new skill trees. I figured I could chose between the three skill trees and two supers, but you are locked into the new tree if you want the new super.

    My idea to fix this is to have the arena shrink when the final boss is summoned. People are abusing the long sight lines and OHKO of Sleeper, if you forced them into a smaller arena at the end they couldn't turtle so hard in the spawn.

    Well I'm not banned. Gambit is fun and might be my go to since I don't like DM PVP/don't do too well/don't feel like I'm contributing too much to the team if there's no objectives other then to kill the other team.

    I'm not super happy with the pure random rolls on guns. I feel like the game could have done better with guns having a persistent perk and then a random perk on the off set. Because why would I want that fancy Better Devils from Crucible that doesn't make people explode when it's literally not the reason why I loved BD in the first place?
