Thus far, what's everyone's opinion of ROI? I think it looks great but was a weeeee bit short.

Needed a few more story missions for sure. I like the idea of going back in time and explaining how pre-guardians fought for something to save humanity. We see their sacrifice and all that. They definitely made it too grindy to level up though -- we are back to Y1/TDB. HoW and TTK set guardians free in terms of leveling up -- this update is just silly.
You want to level fast? Store a bunch of exotic engrams, play Omnigul for 4-5 hours, then pop those, turn in 2000 motes of light at a faction and you will be #raidready. Just silly.
OH -- biggest complaint though --- Thorn quest was too easy and thorn has been nerfed too much. Now anybody can get thorn b/c of how easy the made the crucible part of the quest. Why, Bungie? Don't get all soft on me. It is an exotic with a quest -- it should be hard to earn (like old Thorn, The First Curse, Pocket Infinity, Chaperone, etc.). They made leveling hard but earning exotics a mix of RNG and just doing simple easy things. You can solo getting Ghally at like, 340 light. That shouldn't be how this works.

I think it's the opposite. You never get stopped with ROI. There is always a way to continue leveling. There are streamers who had gear above 385 before the raid even came out.
Once you hit a certain light level the way to continue might change (365 blues to endgame and exotics for example) but it never stops.
quote:If you choose a level 320 strike from the map and not from the playlist, the 2 blues that drop at the end are at your light level. If you do the 320 playlist they are capped at 340. The fastest way to grind up to 365 is to just continuously run the Fallen Saber strike at 320 off the map because you can skip almost everything after you throw the grenade in the coolant vent.
Also the hard strike are dropping already decrypted blues in the 240 range instead of current LL making them worthless currently.

When are people getting online today?
quote:You got the game and are playing from the beginning yes? Once you get to lvl 40 you should be good to go on quite a bit of fun. I recommend making sure you are always equipping your highest light level items, and pick a faction at the tower. Patrols and public events are worth more now, so anytime you see one I'd suggest picking those up.
So I just got this game last weekend and have started playing through the storyline. How long should it take to be able to join in on the fun or did that ship sail about two years ago? Any pearls of wisdom for a newb?
