Quick question: when running around devouring things with Winter's Guile would putting some points into mobility allow me to reach things to punch faster?

One-punching a yellow is much fun btw I highly recommend it.

Fallout Plays has a video going into specifics about what each stat affects but for your purposes its worth noting that mobility does nothing other than increase walking and strafing speeds and jump height of the base jump.

I'm just going to wait until someone finds another exploit because even after getting 30 engrams last time I didn't get everything, so I don't want to have to grind public events for 5 engrams then be locked out of rolling the dice for another two months.

For all the talk about D2 not being an MMO, they common took MMO mechanic "Please grind for tokens, but hold on we need to throttle you with timers" down.

Its not actually a thing in MMOs. Not sure what they're talking about there. Destiny 2 is definitely a sorta-MMO but this isn't an MMO thing.

There's a limit in Destiny where if you loot a chest, the game will not give you loot from chests for X seconds. Its a hard limit they programmed into D2 explicitly because they feared some kind of loot-cave exploit and wanted to put a last-case limit on stuff like that.

Its a poorly designed system and often blocks legit players from getting loot from chests that spawned near each other. And it doesn't prevent all kinds of exploits that exist other ways like the previous faction chest thing that they just patched.

Admittedly I'm thinking more along the lines of Daily and weekly timers, but timers are indeed A Thing in assorted MMOs.

Doesn't change the fact it's particularly Janky in D2 putting it in the span of minutes, but the failed joke was them taking (technically) Real MMO Mechanics from the wrong end of the list of what makes MMOs cool.

Alls I know about chests is running around getting them in dead zones and lost sectors. If there's an aspect about getting extra loot, restricted by time/chest amounts/both, then I have no clue about it.

About your father. If it's any help, he's in the ground now. Sure, it's bad news for him. But on the other hand, it's party time for all those little worms.
Just to spell it out, it isn't extra loot. If you try to open multiple chests within a shorter time frame than Bungie has invisibly decreed you should, you get nothing at all.

Seems to be public events and lost sectors. Maybe strikes if you're quick.

Lost sector chests have a 15 minute loot lock out on them now which starts after the second chest you open or something. Apparently the most 'efficient' way to get faction tokens this time is to just chain public events.

Weekly and dailies are a thing, yeah, but they're like milestones. Not chest lockouts.

I can't think of an MMO with a loot lockout like that...
