Good idea for a topic Chris.
I think we also need to help as many people get to 385 as we can. As the first DLC is a must, I'm not 100% certain you can play Forsaken without doing the main campaign and dlc stories.
Plus in Gambit, your power will matter against PvE parts, not the PvP enemies. Also, when Iron Banner and Trials come back post Forsaken release power will matter for the first time since Destiny 1.
I doubt it now Dave. They're pretty set on Tokens and it is the unified, easier to understand, approach.
Yeah, you were good at that!
I did it a little at the first DLC but tbh I want this Forsaken update to last. I think it will do, more than any other DLC but I don't want to fully overdo my preparation. I've got a ton of shards now and I've still got a number of initial missions to do, like and Rat King.
I'd also think about hording Bright Dust - get through your shaders you don't want and pile up the dust. There's going to be some decent cosmetic stuff on Day 1 that people will want too.
