Wonder what direction they are going to take it once we've killed Savathun and Xivu Arath. Most of the hive hierarchy will be dead, except for the Worm gods. We've made peace with a house of eliksne and the rest of the houses seem scattered at best. Scorn aren't really in much better of a position. Cabal lost their homeworld and Caiatl lost her challenge to the last city. The Vex are doing normal vex stuff? Simulating Seems like our enemies are growing thin.

Not much in detail yet. Other than “the more you play with a weapon, the more powerful it becomes” or something like that. Which makes me think it will be similar to upgrading a weapon in Destiny 1. You have to grind kills or XP on the weapon to unlock/upgrade the perks on the weapons. so it would be like, yes you can just make you god roll. But you won’t have it immediately, and it will come with its own kind of grind. If RNG is with you, you could still get your god roll faster from a drop or engram.

TwinIon Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Lots of exciting stuff coming. Weapon crafting could make grinding for desired rolls more bearable. Lots of new dungeons / raids. Raid rotations. New weapon types, new enemies The promise of a Halo / Titanfall 2 / Doom style campaign is exciting, though I'd be very surprised if we get quite that much content.

If you are well under 1250, probably Public Events on planets. The EDZ is often the most populated, so having multiple people with you makes them easy to make Heroic and finish quickly. They often reward a blue item or higher and can have engrams drop also. This will increase you power level little by little, but faster than other activities since you can quickly travel from Public Event to public event. If a public event is not set to start anywhere you can do a quick list sector for a reward. Save doing activities that reward “Pinnacle” engrams until you’re in the 1300s. Preferably 1320+, as at that point they become the only engrams/rewards to increase your power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're really low, you can do pretty much anything. I don't think there's any particular reason to grind something really hard just to get your light up. If you really want to, I think grinding Gambit works well because you kill lots of ads, get plenty of loot after matches. Right now gambit is pretty quick, and with the new rep system winning matters a lot less. Still, if you haven't played in a while and you pick up the current season, you probably have exotic quests or other random things to complete, and if you just keep working on those things, you'll be increasing your light level pretty consistently. There isn't a whole lot you need a high light level for right now, so I wouldn't sweat it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some things will be available to all players, but a bunch will be behind a $25 paywall. I do wonder how much actual content will be a part of it, since it’s $15 less than the expansion and $15 more than a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that the price is mostly for the content and less for the cosmetics. Even as someone that never buys cosmetics in any game, I'm always shocked by how much cosmetics are in D2. I assume it's because people are willing to pay the prices. Of course, because it has any content, I'll end up buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I too have been wondering how much will be included to justify the $25 price tag. There will be the six player activity, but that's free for all players, so really the paid stuff so far will be the three player dungeon which I'm guessing will reward Gjallarhorn and its catalyst, and the themed cosmetic, weapons, and armour. They did say "and more" on their website, but I wonder what that is, and when they will reveal it. Other than the slightly themed Halo universal ornaments seen here Doesn't seem to be anything else Halo themed coming like say the assault rifle or energy sword. We know Phil Spencer is a huge Destiny fan, so he'd probably be down to collaborate with Bungie, but I wonder if maybe Sony is blocking any sort of deal because they don't want what is basically a promotion of their competition's flagship franchise also appearing on their platform, although Master Chief is in Fortnite, but maybe since that game is basically open to anything and anyone, and Kratos is also in it, but Bungie wouldn't have anything specifically tied to Sony to include in the pack to "even it out" they blocked anything super Halo related included in this 30th Anniversary pack. I hope I'm wrong. It would be cool seeing something Halo in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, because it has any content, I'll end up buying it. yeah, for all we know “much more” on the list of things for the anniversary pack could mean a couple exotic weapon ornaments, or ship, and a ghost shell. Im one of those people that has and does pay real money for cosmetics. I do spend bright dust (free currency) on stuff, but occasionally I’ll actually spend some money. Not all are put up for brightdust, like finishers. I wonder if the “much more” is also to not over promise, as some things they have planned may not be finished yet. I doubt they will have a strike locked behind a paywall, but it could be a second dungeon. Or maybe there will be a strike behind a paywall. Maybe a social space just for those that payed for the pack. Or maybe even an area similar to the Tribute Hall to fill with trophies, access to our bank, post master, fill up on ammo, and test out damage/weapons on simulated enemies. Yeah that would be nice! A new and better, Bungie themed Tribute Hall would make it feel more worth the price. see, now I’m gonna be disappointed, because I want a Tribute Hall, and we’re probably not getting one.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Also, just an FYI, but it has been reported although not exactly highlighted by Bungie, that the Witch Queen expansion will not be included on GamePass. Nobody is saying all that is currently in GamePass is being removed from GamePass, just that the new Expansion will not come with GamePass. obviously if you want to wait to see if that holds true by its release, you’ve got plenty of time until 2/22/22. You don’t have to rush out and buy anything yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
