Rayvin 5290 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Ah ok. So to be clear, you can grind up to 280 normally but then need exotic emblems from raids to progress further? Â I think that's the bit I don't get, how do you get from 280 to 300 and what is meant by soft cap. If it's what I've set out above then I guess I do get it, but it's all speculation on my part.

Andrew 4855 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Legendary/Exotics can level to a max of 350 according to the gear  As it stands I imagine that drops/engrams will cap at 280 with raid gear (and maybe exotics in general since you can only equip 2) maybe going higher until the DLC comes along.

Rayvin 5290 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Really helpful, thanks mate. Will keep all of this in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5290 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 I'm 256 now, barely got any play time in at all last night what with their maintenance problems. Â Was planning to do nightfall but couldn't one of the others I intended to play with had given up for the night by the time servers reappeared. I guess we'll try tonight. Â Looking forward to the raid, although I've a long way to go before I'm eligible to play it I guess! Had 280 in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4855 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I got none done last night, shame as I eventually got all my other shit done at just after 8 when the work was meant to be finished and then found it was due to run another couple of hours :/ Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5290 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Was annoying. An initial 4 hour down time that became 7 hours. Â Hope that's not a regular feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5290 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Haven't tried it yet since I'm only 263. Looking forward to it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm getting frustrated that when I'm event farming, I end up totally alone on certain events. It's pointless to even engage with them at that point as while I may be able to trigger the heroic aspect, I sure as shit can't then complete it in the time frame.  I think I'm now at the point where this method has potentially run it's course though. That link you sent me suggested that I should now switch to weekly milestones to level up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5290 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 I can't go up from 266 Â I have a 260 shoulder armor that's tying me down cos I just can't get anything apart from rare gear for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5290 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Thanks for the advice on levelling guys, finally managed to get to 274. Can now do the raid I guess. Â The downside is that I got given a level 283 pulse rifle. I hate those and judging by the numbers it's gonna be with me for some time. I also have a 273 sidearm which I hope I can move on soon. Â Getting the hang of exotic management now. What are your levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4855 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Im doing the MIDA quest now, the mini tool is excellent on its own (imo) I also picked up the exotic fusion rifle from Xur which is a beast on boss level enemies.  http://destinystatus.com/xbl/IamC0ntrol  Thats me, currently 266, looking to get a good session in strikes etc with a couple of mates tomorrow, we managed to get time together for about 30 mins tonight for the first time and it was a blast!

Rayvin 5290 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Nice, good job guys. I managed tobget to 276 tonight since I passed nightfall for the first time and got the rewards. Â Still have the stupid pulse rifle. Â I'm trying to pull together enough people for the raid. I'm in a clan but I prefer to play with people I know. Â Have you tried trials of the 9 yet? I gather people are ddos attacking other players ffs...

Rayvin 5290 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 I've got 1/3 of the ratking thing done. Haven't really looked at it properly, and not sure where that 1/3 came from. Â I need to do Stuarm still. Clans are actually pretty good - the one I'm in has completed all of it's weekly stuff, so I've got quite a lot of reward from it. Plus it's an extra milestone to get rewarded for - contribute 5000 clan XP each week. Â Looking forward to hitting 280 to open the mods up as you say. Will maybe try to make it tonight.

If not, I'll happily join you when I get back from work and you can carry me to victory   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5290 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Dammit  Why did you guys go for it on Xbox then? The first one was just PS4 wasn't it? Unless I'm misremembering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4855 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 As for clans, they're handy for sure, getting crucible engrams despite not playing a single match (IÂ am not fond of PVP) is great. Â Not sure yet what happens with the clan level thing...we're at 93/100k experience for level 1 so I guess I'll find out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5290 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 I suppose we're all console peasants at the end of the day. I was tempted by the PC version but it's not out until the end of next month I think. Crazy in this day and age.  Our clan has recently brought in someone who has completed Trials of the Nine. It's kind of like buying a high profile football player  He's going to be popular over the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
