Someone said it in here before. But D2 seems like a good case study on why you don't do sequels to mmo like games.

I'd probably be as spicy as y'all if I had played more than launch D1.

I get tokens for official Tower/Crucible/IB/faction events and such but I'm not sure why I'm finding them in chests all over the universe instead of "Dusklight Cache" or whatever.

I just imagine Devrim had a whole supply of tasty chocolate medallions, but those wascally Fallen stole them all and hid them! Help Devrim get his candy back for a fun surprise! Your 40th identical Lincoln Green

The tokens are a reward for turning over 90% of the glimmer and components in the chest.

I have 1000+ legendary shards and there is basically nothing to use them on. Did they just forget they included them or something?

Pretty much. They confirmed in Season 2 you'll be able to use them in Iron Banner to directly purchase gear. (Not the next IB, the one after that)

I'm down to 30 since I've been playing on alts but if I really wanted to I could get to 120 again without losing anything valuable.

I'm really enjoy Hawthorne's Field Forged Shotgun, but the slugs from First In, Last Out are pretty satisfying too. Not sure which I enjoy more.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

That planetary chest lockout thing is the biggest bullshit. It makes caydes loot location maps and the faction ghosts completely worthless and triggers all the time. Hilarious how worthless planetary materials are too. Just forget trying to get planetary armor sets at this point. I turned in what must’ve been my 20th Titan engram on my warlock and I’ve gotten the gloves twice and about 15 swift rides.

This game is done until season 2.

If you want to bother, there's a gimmick where you grab a ton of exotics from your collection in the vault with legendary shards and scrap them for the weapon parts. You gain back some of the shards and get a ton of parts to get enegrams from the weapon smith. This can net you some guns you may be missing or help you bolster up your mod collection. By dismantling stuff you don't want from the enegrams you can regain a ton of shards and repeat this process a lot.

This was the best line our guardian could come up with at the culmination of Destiny 1.

Maybe it's better they went silent for D2.

the worst part was getting a cool gun after you did your bounties so you had practically no way to get xp on the gun without just shooting mobs for like one billionth of an xp bubble or whatever

I thought so too. And i honestly miss it.

I remember getting my first legendary boots in D1. They had a lovely roll. But i put some materials and time into them and they helped me to get level 27 for our first raid.

The raid only gave me materials, but those materials were important and i used them all to get to 28 for my next run.

I found this really fun. And when i finally got my good roll armor and raid weapons i was thrilled.

Bungie really lost this in D2. You get lovely loot rained on you and it just feels bad.

3000 legendary shards. They were rare until day 2.

I'm not near as hardcore as y'all and the only item I want that I'm missing is the raid exotic shotty and the launcher.

I think that and 2 trials weapons are the only things I don't have tbh.
