So some of us are currently new to D2 and in the future more will likely come, so I thought a general thread on small questions that probably don't require a heap of discussion. So if you have any small questions regarding this, I'm hoping people will be able to answer. So first up, what on earth is all these symbols on the destination map? Secondly, each weapon has a symbol in the upper corner. I think this shows which expansion pack it has come from, so which ones do I keep? Say I'm currently playing the Beyond Light story, should I be scrapping all armour / weapons from the previous expansions? Any useful sites to be aware off? The only one I've heard about so far is https://destinyitemmanager.com/

@Teenwolf25 has given great intro advice. So, thanks for that. @Diddums makes a good point on keeping the weapon you like, trying out new ones, etc. Because how you play is going to be different than others. For example, initially, I was very much a long distance player. I still sort of am. Originally, I was all about snipers and bows... probably a good minute on submachine guns... and definitely rocket launchers. Currently and probably for the last 2 seasons, I've been on a heavy grenade launch with certain specs instead of my favorite rocket launcher. I currently do not like snipers and prefer bows... and I love my auto-rifles over SMGs. I think for armor builds, @Therealraiser has some fantastic advice on what to spec out your armor and how. He's usually found on our Discord chat, but feel free to DM or ask him here instead! I am by no means good at this game lol. But, our top players like @Venom , @Teenwolf25 , @Baabcat , @Riff Machine , @Forty6_N_two , @TurboR56Mini , @MrSwainey101 , and others who currently escape my mind and not previously mentioned can give such amazing tips and info. Just reach out to them.

They actually come together to form a little minigame that Bungie created, it's called "Ultima Confusion X: What the fuck is all this?" and the reward for completing it is that they all piss off. Throw all that shit in the bin and play with what you enjoy. If you tried to keep track of the metas and sort out the who's who of weapons and armour, you'd lose your mind. Find a gun you enjoy playing with and every time you get something else, play with it a bit and see if you enjoy it more, if not - infuse or bin. Keep one gun of each type for the various gunsmith bounties, and you're golden. As for armour, I just randomly picked something I liked, maxed it out and masterworked it, then added some nice colours and shit so I look fucking fabulous darling and use that. If you want to fanny about min-maxing then hit up Youtube, shitloads of sweats who will tell you where to place every single pixel but I play the way I enjoy and if that means I do 5% less damage then so be it.

I vote start fresh. Saves on server costs, and @techno and I can also hop in and be a bit relevant too, rather than run around amongst you lot in underpants with sticks whilst you're all lasers n light sabers n shit. I don't really mind, whatever. I am never attached to these things and don't really care about any progress, but I can totally understand why you guys would want to keep your shizzle.

Sigh. Fine. Here's my annual whinge. It looks fucking shit, it's going to be fucking awful, the cunts that play it will be absolute top shelf wankers, the maps will suck, there will be head glitching spots on every corner, there will be bullshit crutches to help the bottom feeders (thinking of you you goddamn fucking heartbeat sensor), perks that break the game, cunts sitting in corners, it'll take up 400gb on my hard drive, and I'm probably still going to buy it so I can whinge some more. Fuck you Activision.

Sorry Bob, you'll need to speak up mate, I can't hear you over the buzzing of my Vex Mythoclast from my second run 😄

fuck it for $137 we can just go this way...and don't worry we will pick London so all your budget internets will work...

For Didds its not about the DPS, its about knowing the damage phase is happening !!!!🤣

Not sure how much can get done in just one month, suppose that depends on what's causing the delay...but 100% prefer to play a polished game at launch. I guarantee whenever it is released it will still have problems 😁 Meanwhile, I booted up BF4 on the PS5 last night for the first time and it was even better than I expected.

For weapons don't worry about the symbols other than for sunsetting (and you can tell if a weapon has been sunset as it will have a max power level when you inspect it (same for armour). What to keep - armour is relatively easy, if its total stat score is above 62 say, I'd keep it at this stage, lot of people worry about stat distribution but at this stage just collect stuff with high stats overall. Guns is harder as there's a confusing large amount of perks some of which change a guns performance quite a lot. Also each gun has a 'masterwork' perk which can be a huge deal - for example range on shotguns. So how do you know what to keep - Destiny 2 Database, God Rolls, Collection Manager, and Leaderboards - light.gg WWW.LIGHT.GG The Best Destiny 2 Database with possible rolls, full stats, 3D previews, god rolls, leaderboards, reviews, and more. Find D2 weapons, armor, quests, triumphs, vendors, and cosmetics with our detailed tools. light gg is pretty good at helping sort the good from the bad, although it ignores masterworks so just use it for perk ideas. Always good to look for perks that compliment each other , maybe buffing damage and reload which tend to be the best things to go for.

It’s going to hard to explain over a long arse message without talking you through it. You’re correct with the symbol in the corner of the weapons. It shows the seasons they were or are available. If you hover over a weapon and hold L2 it will show the current power that the weapon is, the power limit the weapon can go to and the current season power cap (basically the max power you can reach without the artifact, currently 1330) Some weapons in previous seasons were sunset which means they’re longer viable to use in current activities, other than some crucible games. If you’re new to the game then don’t worry as you won’t have them anyways. If you go to the vault at the tower there’s a kiosk where you can buy old weapons like mountaintop etc, these have been sunset so you’ll see what I mean if you inspect them. In the destination page on the left hand side you’ll see some symbols. These are current quests etc you need to complete. You can also see them in the quest bar along the top. The gold star symbols above each planet are weekly things to do, this is how you power level. You’d do all your powerful stuff first and then do your pinnacles after for efficiency. Theres a lot more into power grinding with min-maxing but don’t worry about that.

Hello. I too am sort of new to the game but I should be able to explain. The green marker above the blue planet is your location, the gold symbols means that you are able to get pinnacle gear there, this will be a world drop weapon or piece of armour thats power level is higher than your current power level. And the symbols on top right are what season/expansion they came out in but that does not mean that they are bad. Although if they are sunset you can't use them.

Seems some YouTubers feel the same way 😁

37, in case anyone's wondering.

I also did an art car recently.

I'd love to, but I'll get it on the first run and then lose interest in helping @Baabcat with his next 600 runs 😕 Also I don't know what the fuck a "damage phase" is.

I played a few matches earlier on PS5 and it's easily one of the worst Call of Duty games I've experienced. Woeful map design, shocking animations, terrible visibility with colours and every fucker just gliding round the map in the most sweatiest fashion possible like their lives depend on it. It's just so generic and a massive step backwards even from COD's of recent times let alone the golden age. Already removed it from my system and wouldn't even play it if I was being paid to.

Ok I’m away this weekend but I’ll set something up for next weekend to start the grind for keys

If you’re intending on just playing the casual stuff and not bothered about progression then to be fair Diddums is right keep what you like the feel of, all weapons have different perks etc so everything with have a pro and con even if it’s the same weapon as the perks will be different 90% of the time. For armour tho you want to keep high stat roles etc. Armour is the main reason thing in destiny, it’s the difference between staying alive and killing shit effectively and being dead every 2mins.

Oh man the e-type is on my top five list for sure. Along with a DB4-GT, Delahaye 165, Bugatti TYPE 57 AEROLITH, and the Dusenberg Model SJ Speedster. The 30's knew how to design cars my friend and it's the last thing the French were good at...I'm a sucker for anything with a boat tail as well!

Can we just get another server? Keep FG-OG then start fresh. Whats the server cost? Additionally, it seems like you can experience the new stuff in unexplored portions of the current server. So not sure how that works like me Tar and Ren would be most out because we have explored a bit more. I still think it would be cool to keep the original as we built some pretty epic shit and depending on cost, it might be cool to have two. One that we keep building until we can't with an update or whatever and one thats like the sand box to build even more stuff!

I have a thing with early access games where I'm already mentally prepared. To be honest I generally just try a game out when it's first released and then hop on and off occasionally through its development cycle until the full release. So I'm happy with whatever you guys want to do.

Massive disappointment but not an absolute disaster. They just need to use this extra time wisely unlike those at CDPR! I just hope there aren't any nasty surprises where it suddenly gets delayed again until March 2022!

So the Artura went by the way side as I got mired in the details. So I started something else instead, a 1961 Jaguar E-type - easily one of the most beautiful cars ever made. And I haven't forgotten you @TurboR56Mini I'm just trying something special for the 300SL but I'm getting there

Delayed. New release November 19th.
