    Yeah so this is currently one of the most controversial topics in the community. The need for Enhancement Cores in infusion is trash and discourages armor build diversity. You should basically be constantly switching your armor and weapons out as you get higher power drops, but if you get good perk rolls on anything you should save it for when you get closer to max power. Once you're high enough to do like the raid or something, then start infusing your best stuff.

    You can get Enhancement Cores from Gunsmith bounties, from the Spider in exchange for legendary shards, and from dismantling masterwork weapons/armor. You can also get them from getting to max rank in Quickplay and Gambit. It's quite the grind.

    I hate how difficult it is to infuse gear now, but it's getting better thanks to the daily gunsmith bounties. The power level grind isn't as bad this season too. I'm already getting 745 drops.

    Nothing will come close to the beginning of D1, Y2 for me, I was obsessed during Taken King.

    yeah i remember i would stay up until 2am for reset on Tuesday, run 3 runs of KF with my clan, go to bed, apply for jobs, run, clean, eat, and then hop back on and Wednesday and Thursday were grinding out weeklies and bounties, and then Friday through Monday was trials, rinse and repeat for like 6 months haha

    Yeah I used to do three King's Fall runs every week, try to get into a Trials group on the weekends, and otherwise just grind out faction rep. It's kind of amazing how much time I put into that game when there was nowhere near as much to do in it as there is now in D2.

    Surprisingly I've spent about the same amount of time on D2, but I didn't jump into D1Y2 until around February after TTK release, and took time off towards the end.

    D1 - 897 Hours
    D2 - 688 Hours

    I started playing D2 about one year ago and I'm at 265 hours. Didn't really grind until after Foresaken was released.

    I'm getting the itch real bad to jump back in. First time in awhile I've missed the game, but don't have time to play :(

    Figure I'll just avoid the fact that I'm really far behind and will just wait until the next content drop.

    Honestly if nothing that's currently happening in the game looks amazing to you, it's probably better to wait for September. It's basically going to be a fresh start for the game.

    Oh, game looks incredible to me right now (I would love to try out Menagerie), but as I've stated in here before, going through a Data Visualization Coding Boot Camp until November. Shit's taking up all my time. Also closing on a house in 2 weeks and don't need to pay for PS+. Life working against me, but they are good things working against me lol.

    ran menagerie last night before bed and got two austringers that have good/great rolls:
    rangefinder, outlaw, extended mag/drop mag, handling masterwork
    triple tap, rampage, full bore/arrowhead brake, flared magwell/alloy mag, reload masterwork

    Time Wasted on Destiny

    I have ~2344.5 hours on D1/2 in 5 years.
    1608hrs on D1
    736.5hrs on D2

    That's about
    ~467hrs/year
    ~39hrs/month
    ~10hrs/week
    ~1hr 20 minutes/day every day for 5 years

    damn
     
  21. I haven't played this in so long. Probably the longest I've gone ever since it came out. Definitely miss it, but don't miss the grind. Keep hearing great things though.

    My best attempt at explaining the pricing structure of Destiny 2 in Year 3.

    here's a pic to keep it simple. Only change is Forsaken + annual pass is $25 instead of $40
