Destiny 2 | PS4/XB1/PC | Out Now

[42 Monks]

Fixes coming to make Heroic strikes worth completing. You will be able to reach 365 just by running these strikes.

Heroic strikes are a great example of something we definitely want to keep iterating on. In the May 29 update, you’ll see a small change to help make these better.

• Escalation Protocol Key Fragments will become a 100 percent drop chance from each Heroic strike. The goal here is to make getting these fragments more accessible while also preserving the need to go play non-open-world content to get the fragments.
  
• Heroic strikes will be able to drop better rewards. Every three to five Heroic strikes will drop a Legendary that can carry you up to 360 Power (before mods). This should better align the rewards of Heroic strikes with the difficulty of the activity and help solo players have a more reliable source of upgrades.

We won’t have any time to make changes to what’s coming on the 29th, but please let us know how you feel about these rates; it is good information to inform future updates.



Season 3 Iron Banner weapons seem trash based on their perks, but the ornaments are fire.

This Week at Bungie - 5/17/2018 > News | Bungie.net


Power level increases now work as follows:
Complete Campaign -> Milestones to 345 ->Nightfall, levaithan raid & EOW Raid Layer to 355 -> Heroic Strikes to 365 -> Spire Raid Layer, Leviathan, EOW -> +370
then you can run Escalation no problem.

[Tha Gawd Amen]

Test server for PvP.
Might mean something if they're willing to roll out changes faster with a bit more finese instead of going from one extreme to another.

 

[Red Shield]

Hey dude said he was playing alot. VellyG is like 260 now

Escalation Protocol is legit fun. Cats were getting heated last night. I couldn't imagine if Destiny had more than 6 person raids, but that's essentially what Wave 7 becomes.

There's a ton of things to do right now. There are still a few systems that need reworking(randomization, pvp radar and permanent 6v6), but there's tons to do. I'm having a hard time deciding to keep grinding my light level or farm the nightfall for the exclusive weapon or farm the Escalation Protocol for this week's weapon. Then there's the Competitive rank farm I could do.

We tried killing all enemies instead of by passing areas that could if u wanted too

Bannerfall map returning for Iron Banner.
This will probably end up being the goto map for tournament play. The most symmetrical map in D2 yet.
