They're giving away the base game left and right on the PS Store. Wario64 tweeted about pre-ordering the Dark Souls Trilogy and apparently Destiny 2 was just showing up in people's cart

So did they ever implement a way to get a sparrow WITHOUT having to play through the campaign at least once?

Joy. I used the shard on my Titan but I remember I still had to trudge though the story to get a ride.
sigh

Liked it so far. Only did a few missions to open up the Reef and get the bow. I like the reef patrol zone, lots of activity going on. I'm assuming all the pre-order bonuses become available once you beat the story?
Anyone have a good idea on what all counts towards the clan xp progression? It seems some bounties count, but not others. Not getting XP for just doing public events anymore. Any ideas? I got to 45% last night, but honestly have no idea what else to do to get to 100%

I think the clan progression can only happen if you do the bounties. I wasn’t getting any clan xp last night doing publics and strikes.

How did you get to 500 already?
In fairness, I never got to 400 in the last DLC. Is there a soft cap like in the beginning where regular engrams won’t help much?
I feel like a noob again, but had fun in the game for the first time in months.

Clan xp comes from bounties now instead of activities

Softcap is 500. I just ran crucible, public events, and strikes to go from 30 to 50. Swapped them up when I got bored. Popped a fireteam medallion and used xp ghosts. Once you hit 50, you'll get 500 gear. I also did each destination's bounties. I'm not sure if completing them provides any xp, but I need the mats.

This is what i did last night. Really didn't take too long. I am up to level 48 and max of 497 light right now. Did enough of the story to unlock the bow and the new area, but haven't done anything else yet.

I'm diggin the bow. It feels like it just fits lol

Yea I've liked it so far. Still taking some getting used to it, but has a good Far Cry feel to it, very satisfying when you get that good head shot back to back to back. I was getting wrecked by it in crucible too. It would get you down to critical with a hedshot. If you can run with someone using a good scout or pulse, the two of you can do some quick damage on people.
Got a Wrong Side of Right scout drop last night with moving target and rampage. Only 13 round magazine so not great for PVE, but for PVP it was doing pretty good.
Also, to anyone who may have played Gambit on my teams last night, turn in your damn tokens. Had 2 people lose over 35 tokens. You need to have killers and collectors. Definitely a game mode playing with a fireteam will be key. Another in the long line of reasons they should have a solo queue option.

Which is fricking awesome IMO.
I played about 3 hours last night and I'm all in again. Didnt do any crucible yet but I'm not ready either.

I wasn't anywhere near 400 in year 1 either. I was sitting at 340 when Forsaken launched. Finished last night around 380. But this was just from campaigning, Spider patrols, and a few events. I know there are quicker ways to grind power level, but I'm just taking my time. Not planning on raiding necessarily, so I have no timeline to get maxed.

Bounties and challenges are the same exact thing. Just different interface. Only difference is you have to pick the bounties up to complete them.
You also get bounties from dismantling gear.
I need to know which powerful challenges (used to be milestones) are daily, 4 day, and weekly.
Overall, I like the y2 changes. The grind is real and it is spectacular.

Now just imagine If this had been what we had at release.

Is it work dumping all gear from year 1? Like all of the exotics or legendaires I was running, being that infusing is pretty expensive right now? I have already replaced pretty much all my gear so far with 369+.
Posted on 9/5/18 at 11:44 am to SaintEB
Don't infuse. It's cheaper to pull from your collection. Meaning if you have one piece of gear holding back ll progression, just get one from collections. It'll be closer to the rest of your stuff and should provide a minor boost on your way to 500.
Posted on 9/5/18 at 11:50 am to Devious
So everything is pretty useless because you can buy from collections?
Also, I’m having trouble getting master core mats. Is masterworks stuff so much better that I should be grinding for this yet?
Sorry for all the questions.

No worries bud.
I wouldn't say useless just yet. Elemental weapons are locked to a single element and you can't change it in y2. So if you have an elemental weapon you like, keep it until you find the same element/archtype with a better perk. Keep in mind y2 rares are just as good as y1 legendaries since they each have 1 perk.
For masterwork cores, there are avenues to acquire up to 24 a week through exchanges and clan bonuses. But they are used for infusion, hence my recommendation to use collections for small boosts. I'm honestly not sure how easy they'll be to acquire through gear drops in y2. They reduced the y1 raid gear masterwork drop chance from 50% to 10% so y1 raid gear isn't a viable option to stockpile now. I'm using as few as possible for now. Unless I find a god roll.
