Re: Destiny 2 (Console Specific Grouping and Details)
Ah, that makes sense. I was thinking that our overall clan progress towards level 1 got reset, but that's not the case.
I'm having fun, but these last few story missions have me reaching the upper limits of my very limited FPS capability set. The last one ("Six" on Nessus) saw me die 17 times before beating it...which I'm pretty sure isn't supposed to happen. We'll see if I can keep going or not.

Feel free to start a fireteam and invite me or another of the higher light level guys. We'll get you through those tricky story missions.
Edit: Btw, it can be a good idea to do some side missions and activities if the story missions start getting too tough. That way you can level up and get better gear, etc.

Re: Destiny 2 (Console Specific Grouping and Details)
Sorry, it's only the "Heroic" Public Events which grant clan points. I know you'll see a rally flag for them before they launch, and you'll get an achievement when you finish one. Not sure if they show up on the map differently however.Skinypupy wrote:I don't think so. I completed three public events on Titan last night, and didn't see any points come in.

Re: Destiny 2 (Console Specific Grouping and Details)
You are a fireteam. If you invite friends to your group from the destiny interface, they join your fireteam. fireteam leader is shown by the yellow triangle in top right of the player list.Skinypupy wrote:Um...what's a "fireteam"?Hamlet3145 wrote:Feel free to start a fireteam and invite me or another of the higher light level guys.

Just FYI, traveling intergalactic salesman Xur is selling exotics for shards on Nessus, Watcher's Grave.
Apparently, the fusion rifle he is offering for 29 shards is quite good.

Re: Destiny 2 (Console Specific Grouping and Details)
It's all one clan. Bungie made it cross platform so no matter what you play on you can work toward the overall clan level goals. We're getting close to level 2.
Edit: About half the OO clan is on xBox. And we should get a bunch more when PC launches. Link in signature.

Re: Destiny 2 (Console Specific Grouping and Details)
Yep. I suspect they haven't released them all into the wild yet. I would kill for a good exotic auto rifle for my titan. My favorite exotic weapon thus far is the midi multi-tool, but that's a quest not a drop.e1123 wrote:It is, I have it. Have you been getting the same exotics repeatedly?

Re: Destiny 2 (Console Specific Grouping and Details)
Currently, Origin Story Auto-Rifle is my goto Kinetic weapon of choice w/Cold Heart or Graviton Lance as my energy. Man o'War is my power weapon except when bosses need to be melted that I switch Merciless. Can't believe they made another Gjallarhorn must have weapon but there it is in Merciless

Yep, I'm rocking Origin Story on two characters now. Can't find a legendary kinetic auto rifle that I like better. It's perfect for mowing down trash.

Re: Destiny 2 (Console Specific Grouping and Details)
Anyone have issues trying to get through the quest to get the exotic hand cannon, Sturm? I'm at the part where I need to use Drang to (1) take out multiple Fallen without reloading; and (2) take out a powerful Fallen. I've been going to town on the Fallen using Drang, but the kill tracker isn't updating at all. What am I doing wrong?

You're on Nessus? For the multiple kills, just kill two Fallen per clip, it doesn't count any more than that. For the powerful Fallen, I did one of those Fallen Public Events and it was crawling with orange bars. That part of the quest took about ten minutes.Kurth wrote:Anyone have issues trying to get through the quest to get the exotic hand cannon, Sturm?

Got it! I wasn't on Nessus. Went back there last night, and I'm nearly done now. Just need to track down and kill 5 more Fallen leaders with Drang.

xBox Clan strike weekend?
Posted on the clan board, but in case anyone didn't see it, we're planning on trying to do clan versions of the strike(s) on the xBox this weekend. I should be on around 11am PST and will ping any clan members who are on.

Re: Destiny 2 (Console Specific Grouping and Details)
Had a good time with soulchilde running some strikes yesterday.
Also noticed that there is an Iron Banner event starting Tuesday, but you will need to have finished the Red Legion campaign to play in it. So I finally finished the campaign, but unfortunately that toon had already contributed the 5k clan points for the week. Ah well.
Anyone up for iron banner clan activities on Xbox this week?

Re: Destiny 2 (Console Specific Grouping and Details)
Hi all - make sure you swing by Lord Shaxx and see if he has an engram for you as trulcy/soulchilde and I got the Crucible Clan weekly done.
I'm hoping I can get to power 280 on my primary Warlock toon this week - if I can, anyone up for a Clan (on xBox) Nightfall Strike on Sunday?
Also, I noticed at least trulcy/soulchilde and I reached the 10 package achievement in Iron Banner and got the emblem - which is pretty neat looking - anyone else do it? I did notice what looked like a bug in the Iron Banner rewards however - my power was 273 or so for most of the event, yet every single Iron Banner drop was Power 268, so the drops were comparatively poor. Anyone else see this?
I also hit up Xur this weekend and he had an awesome piece of Warlock Armor: The Wings of Sacred Dawn (though from Xur for me it was only Power 270 or so):

Re: Destiny 2 (Console Specific Grouping and Details)
So, my son is into Destiny 2 and he has it installed on his PC. He wants to install it on PS5 (which we did) and be able to continue where he left off and be able to go back in forth on devices.
We read online that you can only transfer saves once every 90 days which goes against what he was hoping.
Are we doing something wrong? I don't understand why it can't be as easy as Fortnite where you character is there on each platform with all the items and progress you unlocked.

Re: Destiny 2 (Console Specific Grouping and Details)
I'm playing on PC, but I believe there's full crossplay now.
I played at launch but didn't get too far. Started playing again now with a friend and having a blast! New expansion's coming out on the 28th. Don't love the way the content is gated behind all previous expansions though. But they go on pretty good discount every now and again.

I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were. -- Mitch Hedberg

Does anyone know if the version that they're giving away on PS Plus this month is everything that has been released so far, or would there be other older expansion I would need to buy if I really wanted to dive into the game?

Re: Destiny 2 (Console Specific Grouping and Details)
Crossposted to Steam bargains thread:
Destiny 2: Witch Queen Deluxe, last year's expansion, is on sale for 75% of (below $20 USD) around the gamesverse.
Mind you, some of the value is greatly diminished as the included season pass content will be vaulted when the next expansion/season drops next week. But it's still worth it if you want access to the campaign/dungeons/raid on the new Mars planet, which will apparently never be vaulted. This expansion (the deluxe version anyway) probably won't be cheaper anytime soon, even after the new one launches. It will probably get bundled into a new "Legacy" expansion bundle version for older content at some point, but that will probably go for new-game price at first. But the other expansions are still available a la carte and occasionly go on deep discount so YMMV.
You can still acquire each season's "free" exotic using a browser extension to mine Bungie's previous season page.

Re: Destiny 2 (Console Specific Grouping and Details)
Crossposted to Steam bargains:
All Destiny 2 prior expansions/DLC are 60%+ off on Steam and other storefronts until 02/28/23 in advance of the new full-priced expansion that drops on the same day. I think it may be on sale on consoles too? The game is crossplatform with cross saving now. But DLC isn't shared across platforms, so e.g. if you buy it on Xbox you can't access that content on Steam and vice versa.
There's a lot of F2P content and each expansion ungates more. There's also a ton of seasonal content for $10 that gives you access to unique seasonal items etc., though the content isn't as deep as what the expansions offer. It's not the cheapest game to get in/back to, but this is a great time.
