You're not behind at all, because the new cap is 600 and nobody is even remotely close in any way at all.

Within 2 hours of playing, you'll be on par with people who spent the past month grinding.

Other than the huge spike you're going to hit trying to get through the campaign that is

Definitely don't do it before you hit 320, and probably a little more, whether you're boosted or whatever

32 clanmates on at once. The other clans are seeing the same results. What a kick rear end day for D2F.

We didn’t see these types of results at all on Warmind or CoO.

The hype is definitely real. Hope this all holds up!

So if I played Destiny 2 on release and lasted barely a month they've either solved or begun to solve the problems I had with it?: That endgame was absolutely dogshit and consisted of doing NOTHING but weekly milestones and once you did them you logged off, that gear had zero variance and so 'builds' didn't really exist beyond incredibly basic "slightly faster vs slightly more HP", and that classes felt extremely under-powered and had almost nothing outside of armor class to differentiate them?

Speaking of that last one what does it mean when it says things like "using void abilities"? I don't remember my Titan having literally any active abilities whatsoever outside of the Super and a kind of energy shield he could spawn for a few seconds to hide behind. Do characters have more active skills now?

I really did like the gunplay in Destiny 2 and (most) of the world they had, but actually progressing past a certain point became a complete chore and dull as poo poo.

Void abilities means Void damage that comes from your class, so your special melee attack (either the one that gives shield on kill or the shield bash), your super and your grenades count as Void abilities. This is to differentiate it from Void damage from your guns which is much easier to deal.

Yeah, wow, the Spider's Wanted Bounties are absolute trash. Hope you have the name of every Lost Sector in the game memorized, otherwise you're going to be going to each one just to check the name, realize its not the one you want, and go back to a fast travel point to do it again.

Picked up a bounty that isn't in a Lost Sector? Cool, you're now waiting for the high-value target in an area to spawn. Better hope someone doesn't kill it before you find it!

I keep expecting to see the words, "LOADING, PLEASE WAIT..." appear in my chat history while wandering around Tangled Shore. It's really got that "MMO Zone" feel down, where you have the significant landmarks visible in the distance, and a sizeable chunk of land to traverse and shoot around on.

The weapons might still be useful for normalised PvP modes, but the armour perks are really significant and Y1 duds are pretty much useless in comparison

Imagine you capture a minion of dead. If you kill it, it will be like sending him home. So you put him in stasis.

Is that for buying back from your collection? What determines the light level it comes out at? At 22 my collection is generating stuff at like 20-30 power below the actual dropped one I have equipped
