"...only mights and maybes."
There are 3 Daily and 3 Weekly, but the Weeklies don't unlock until Level 50.
They cut patrol and PE xp rewards by half. Also buffed strike xp amount.

Strikes still gives pitiful amounts.

using the consumable gave a 30 minute buff. this allowed to me to see some floating platforms, much like the ones that would appear in the Dreadnaught in D1. the set it found led me to the top of a large statue but i couldn't see any way to progress further from there or anything to interact with. i'm gonna guess there's gonna be a quite a bit to discover and figure out in there.
You know who is so, so excited:
EDIT: also got an "Aggressive Burst" archetype pulse rifle that fires four shots per burst instead of 3. HAKKE STYLE IS BACK BABY
At least they are arc and melee kills. My Titan is all "You mean you want me to run around with top-tree striker and skullfort, charging at anything that blinks red on my radar? Ok, I guess. That's obviously totally different from what I was planning to do."
I need to get on that I guess

So in the beginning of the week it was relatively easy to upgrade my 2 exotics’s Light level.
The new expansion dropped, and suddenly I need Masterwork Cores or something for that.
My mate who just started has his light 50 coat, but his other gear is far better. Furthermore stuff like the Graviton Lance is stuck at 100 with him.
So how can a non-DLC Destiny 2 player get those cores? Is that something that Xur sells? I’ve looked around the tower and can’t find anyone who is selling them.
And have factions been abandoned? I walked to the faction peeps, and I can’t even talk to them? So I can’t get pretty FWC or New Monarchy stuff anymore?
I did receive a Masterwork Drang after completing the quest of finding Failsafe’s Captain, so that’s something...
Ace of Spades and Chaperone both require not only that you play PvP but that you play PvP in a way that is actively detrimental to your team. It makes no sense. The second step of Chaperone was fine-ish. I still had fairly shit stats because, this being Y2, I had to use whatever elemental gun I happen to have of the right element instead of just re-modding Uriel's Gift appropriately, but the Gambit phases especially are just stupid.
I get that they want to make people play their new game mode. I'm down with that. All the "play X gambit matches" bounties are cool. It's an interesting mode so it's good they're pushing people to play it so that queues aren't horrible and things don't happen often like I had happen in a match today where it was us 4 vs. 1 guy who quit out and took the penalty.
But if you're going to push people to play your special new game mode...maybe make the requirements actually about the mode? Like, instead of being totally focused on invasions and killing other Guardians, maybe require you to get X kills with a HC and guardians count more? Or just straight up make it about banking motes and/or damaging the primeval, which is what the matches are actually about?
Also, at least the Chaperone step counts assists. Trying to get fucking HC kills on superman when everyone else is also trying to kill superman and only killing blows count is some BS.
All that said I'm having a blast with the new stuff. My first (and only, so far) exotic was Chromatic Fire and Firefly Crimson is 123% as awesome as you could possibly believe it to be. Was running strikes and making packs of thralls or war dags just vanish is so satisfying.
The only person who sells cores is a Forsaken vendor and they're expensive. There is really no good way to get them. Any purple drop has some low % odds of being a masterwork and you can disassemble it into like 1-3 cores. The new costs are definitely out of whack.
There is a new consumable which will get you a core. Fibermass Cube or something. Looks like a red cube. It gives you a % chance to get a straight drop of a MW core from any 'boss' kill and applies until you get said drop. But I've seen exactly one of those in I don't know how many hours of play since Forsaken unlocked and I'm not sure if it's even possible for someone who doesn't own the DLC to get said consumable.
Factions in D2 are a limited-time thing. Once a month-or-two they have a "Faction Rally" where you get to pledge to one and spend a week doing the most tedious grind imaginable to rank up and get the unique faction stuff that's locked behind rank thresholds. In between rallies I don't believe you can get faction swag from anywhere.

I thought they were in the Trials bucket where there are none on the schedule but they're going to figure out how to make it not suck and bring it back?
Basically Carl they made it so that they want you to not infuse constantly anymore. At least having to think about it or choose what you want at max level. However it has put people without the xpack, that didn't play slot Or never saved up many cores behind the 8 ball. Effectively what most people are doing is just wearing whatever is highest and creeping their way up with the exception of a few stand out pieces of equipment and weapons.
Applying shaders to ships and sparrows is surprisingly expensive in glimmer. Make your shit shiny?
I don’t think there is anything at that stage of things
"...only mights and maybes."
It sure killed me real good in Crucible this afternoon. I'd swear I got one-shotted by it a few times but maybe I had some lingering damage from something else. I assume it's a kinetic exotic?
Yep. When its perk is active it can 3 tap people with a normal amount of resilience. If they have 0 resilience it can 2 tap them I believe.
Does he not show up on the Farm?
The Cayde's Death plot is surprisingly satisfying but the decision to kill a character who features heavily in your existing content and having people continue to engage with that content is pretty weird.
Tuesday's Daily Heroic Adventure in the Flashpoint region was very Cayde-dialog-heavy, and one of the current Heroic Missions in the Vanguard playlist is the one where Cayde's hiding from Fallen on Nessus.
Edit: Post-base-game campaign spoilers since I know there are some new people in here and it's a more immediate and less obvious spoiler, sort of...
Can we have a petition to get Rahul banished to the Farm and replaced by not-Rahul-lady?
And speaking of things that aren't different post-Cayde... They really abandoned Mercury, huh? No bereavement dialog from Brother Vance, no Mercury bounties. I'm surprised they even bothered putting a Wanted guy in the lost sector.
