Is the new weekly weapon quest linked to account or can you do one on each character you have?

you can do three a week (four your first week). i don’t know if you can or can’t do it across characters but doing nine a week is a fairly big time investment.

Do you really need to buy the DLC to raise your power cap? Does that mean you are basically locked out of even the base game raid without the DLC

So I hear there is a game breaking pvp weapon with this expansion.. What's it called so I can YouTube it.

Crucible matches right now are players without Prometheus followers players who have it and leeching off kills while avoiding incoming red lasers of death.

That's my only complaint. Liking the expansion/DLC otherwise.

The new monarchy ornaments are by far the best. The Hunter gear which is unfortunately mobility comes with a gold plated arm.

They improved baseline regeneration enough that going more into mobility/resilience feels perfectly viable. I even prefer mobility now.

Everyone keeps talking about how small Mercury is. But it's not small enough to keep me from wishing I could summon my sparrow :doh: Stealing the occasional interceptor is not the same.

Also, my first time taking the public jump gates and immediately dying upon the edge of the exit ring, even after making sure to take my hands off the keyboard and mouse. And more deaths, and more. loving hunter jumps.

I never played destiny 1, but isn't this whole fiasco a beat-for-beat rehash of all the problems with the first game? I can understand rushing to release and hotfixing everything for a year because your game wasn't done, hell that's literally every title that's come out since 2012. But at least come up with new dumb poo poo for people to be mad about, is that too much to ask?

anyway i'm gonna grind for one of those prometheus things so I can win a crucible match for once in my life.

This has been a common misconception about the blowback.

New content behind DLC has always been accepted and is part of the life cycle of games like these.

The anger stems from Bungie deciding to take vanilla content (prestige) and put it behind a DLC, effectively forcing you to buy back content you originally purchased.

I can't think of any other game that has done that blatantly.

e: Complaints about the actual DLC itsself is probably due to having no real content or rewards for playing the expac (apart from that niche exotic) and everything else that is new was put in Eververse. The lost prophecy weapons appear to be extremely underwhelming apart from having cool designs.

expect a blog post letting you know that they'll fix it and then nothing doing until tuesday, b/c it costs too much to push hotfixes live on consoles

then you're very unlikely to be let down, and if they subvert your expectations it'll be a nice surprise

I kinda feel like this is kind of a hypothetical outrage because if you're hardcore enough to want to be doing prestige modes, are you also not the most likely to want to purchase the dlc and keep current? Like who the hell is running prestige content on the regular and satisfied with the vanilla content???

- Jack Queen King 3. hand canon. Boring,did not had anything that really impressed me.
- Machina Dei 4. Pulse rifle. Good but kind of slow.

I have yet to see anything that impress me here. Will still farm more mats to produce all of the verses if are made available.

Same, but tougher on the scout. Pulse is almost great but that slow rof is disappointing. Working on the last available verse now.

It's definitely a perception thing. Like why giving an xp bonus for changing activities would be seen as only positive, while an xp penalty for repeating activities looks shady when it's also tied to a cash shop.

it's only been out on pc for a month and a lot of people are very busy in november, between finals, holidays, etc. its not that surprising that some people haven't had time to do it.
