[Myrrh_Quetz]

They don’t mean raid chest keys reset again, do they?

[Serra]

Yeah, the system from release is coming back.

[Serra]

Season 2 clan rewards:
2: Completing weekly clan miletone rewards 5 extra shards
3: Improves rewards from eliminating vex enemies
4: Chance to receive two Mercury tokens instead of one when completing Simulation Seeds
5: Chance to gain a second Crucible token whenever you receive one
6: Chance to receive a legendary engram when completing heroic adventures on Mercury with clan members.

[LinktheDeme]

Does anyone have a clan my friend and I can join? I asked before I think the main BG one is filled but there's a second one?

We're both just like level 275 trying to find people to play with and get the clan bonuses. (HOW DO PEOPLE EVEN FIND OTHERS FOR RAIDS AND CRAP AND THIS HUMP TO LEVEL PAST 265 SEEMS SO SLOOOOOOW I FEEL LIKE IM DOING SOMETHING WRONG AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN LEVEL IS FROM WEEKLY POWERFUL GEAR AND PRAYING <_<)

edit: Also what's like the best dps subclass for warlock? I've been using void figured that was the best one ult wise.

[Tokitoki]

BG clan is 86/100. Click the link on the right side of Serra's signature.

To level above 265 you just need to keep doing your powerful rewards and farming for exotics. Use the exotics as fuel to upgrade your other equipment.

For Warlock, I use Void as well with the fast moving super. Arc is also good for clearing out waves of adds and getting your team some orbs. I don't like the solar subclass myself.

[6souls]

No one likes the solar sub class. Warlock has that solar body that let's you hover longer, but Bungie has air attacks nerfed to regulate "fair play." Basically they felt that people who could master that ability would have an unfair advantage in pvp, so everyone suffers.

Stop being bad.

[Kaslo]

Also, if those changes to Karnstein Armlets are in addition to its natural perks they may be my full-time exotic for Warlock. The ability energy on melee hits is very noticeable as-is.

[Karbuncle]

Idk what I was expecting to read to get me excited but that wasn’t it. Hopefully there’s more to it than I see. Don’t have the money for the expansion atm anyone so I’m okay holding out.

Hope y’all having fun with it!

[Fondue]

The pc xpac is already out? It's literally been less than 2 months since launch

What the hell

[Obsidian]

That Prometheus Lens fucking murders people in Crucible. It's like the Vex Mythoclast before they nerfed the fuck out of it.

[6souls]

Destiny been out since September yo. You PC people always late to the party.

[Kaslo]

Nope they replaced the perks, RIP Armlets

[6souls]

So many connection issues.

[Serra]

Somehow I missed this..

[Obsidian]

Somehow I missed this..

It's in the update notes though.

[Serra]

Completing the heroic strike does not provide a guaranteed rare mat for the gun quests.. it might guarantee two though!

The drop rate from chests is terrible, so it's gonna take a while to knock them all out..
