Speckle, you keep going on about "the intended focus of this thread being on playing the game", but where is that stated? It's not, it's just your opinion.

The thread title is merely "Destiny 2 (PS4)", so any comments about Destiny 2 on the PS4 are relevant, including ones knocking it for its developer's abusive approach towards its player base.

If you want a thread for only those playing Destiny2 on the PS4 about actually playing the game, then by all means start one.
Pistonheads....where pedantry matters

Youngsyr, what I would have liked is for the thread where people were talking about actually playing the game not to have been derailed by a vocal minority who aren't playing the game who are largely saying the same thing over and over and over again.

But, this is the internet where 'winning' matters so, well done you, I shall leave you to enjoy your thread tongue out

Ping me the link to the reddit thread you are using Specks, time permitting I may get to dust off the PS4 to catch up 70 light levels.

As for he whole DLC, I like the content so folded like deck chair in a storm and after playing since day one I think the cost to time ratio has been pretty good, I mean a nice meal might cost the same (D1 & D2) but pretty sure I would not be coming back to 3 years later.

Who says I am not playing the game, I play it a fair bit still, although now, I cant progress past level 20 because I refuse to pay to use online play a con in itself and wont buy DLC, so I get half a game, why?

Because I have principles lol

It's not about pedantry, or winning.

It's about allowing people to air their opinion.

For some reason, Pistonheads has a lot of people who want to control what other people talk about and how.

See the numerous TV show discussion threads where you're not actually allowed to discuss the show until an arbitrary time after it has aired for more examples.

I am on the final part of Lucas howl, but st teams mean that I am going backwards fast trying to get to the valour rank, bloody annoying.

Also, I have had one exotic drop so far, one.

That’s one more than me, and I’ve been on this every day for the past month.

Although I am a classic casual gamer I haven't seen a single exotic either since Foresaken dropped, not even an old one.

I bought Forsaken at the end of last week.

In the last couple of days, Ive seen Graviton Lance and Sanguine Alchemy (warlock chest piece) drop from chests, and I also picked up an exotic ship and exotic sparrow from the strike playlist rewards. Also finished the Ace of Spades quest line today, so got that too.

Peaked at about 1680, now at 1550 (ish). It's just too inconsistent matchmaking solo. Had a good amount of success using the Bungie app to team up, I say 'team up', but for the most part I refuse to talk to strangers so don't communicate and just hope that everyone who goes to the bother of finding a team know about controlling heavy, capping points etc. Found 2 good teams which we went on a couple of streaks with. I know I'll get more rubbish team mates, but just need one more decent session and I should be done. Don't know if IB this week will make it easier or not.

Yeah, can't do that Bungie App, might get someone like you on my team hehe

I think that since it has been known that it is a bit of a beast lots of strong groups are in competitive, but when you get retards and dropouts, it makes it very hard to put a run together, wouldn't mind if you could win with a team and stick with them rather than being match made with the losers from the other team in the next match...

What, that Nightfall Shottie? That NF is available again this week - fancy a 100k run at some point? I mean, surely there is a marginally better roll to be had if you'd only put the effort in?! hehe

I can finally just muck about this week as all powerful rewards are dropping at 600 (599 for life!!) so, up for pretty much anything. Me and your Bro are going to have a crack at Shattered Throne tonight of you're interested.

I've had a few overall - half a dozen maybe but, only 2 of them have been Foresaken.

Mind you, I've been anything but casual so far and have invested an obscene amount of time into grinding!

I completed the firsr campaign a few days ago but now seem to have been stuck at 258 for ages with no more drops. Am I to assume thats as far as I can go with the original content and I know how to purchase the DLC to go higher?

Yes, unless you pay to play online, then you can do raids and the like and a few other things, but might still need DLC.

Profiteering is a butch huh!

I am online and and doing strikes etc but not done any raids yet. Just been reading that you can plateau if you carry modded gear, you have to remove it to go further. I think I might give that a try.

After the Luna you want the Not Forgotten, same as Lunar but with better range.

I have a good IB Sniper roll but its not as good as the rather good roll of the crucible sniper. IB guns are a little disappointing really, other weapons are better and not that hard to get.

Guvernator, I think max level without any DLC was 300 so, you should be able to progress a little further. Not sure about the mods thing though.

I've been killed by it a few times from ridiculous ranges!

I finally hit max power this morning so, the grind is officially over (until the next expansion). I'll be grinding for the Horror Story this week, which should be pretty easy to acquire.

So last day of Season 4. Did so much but failed in getting the Comp reset for Luna. It's truly soul destroying playing solo. frown
I am hoping first few weeks of Season 5 will level the playing field......

Managed to get the missing Ikelos weaponry last night which is a small consolation .
