You get several milestones assigned every week. You can see them on the Director, when you press left trigger (a panel will slide from the left). They reset every week. Once you complete a milestone, you'll get a powerful weapon and armor that will increase your power level as reward. One of the milestones is "complete public events" on a certain planet. That milestone is called "Flashpoint: xxxxx", where xxx is the planet. Each completed event on the planet of the week gives you progress towards completing the milestone. Completing a normal version of the event gives you less progress (half?) than completing it in heroic mode. Heroic mode also has a higher chance at getting an exotic engram (though you do get them from normal events too). Though that last one is just my personal "feeling" of how it works.How do you tell which heroic public events are flashpoint and on which world? Is this all on reddit somewhere?
It's probably people that are as quickly as possible trying to complete the weekly public event stuff that don't care.
recently started working on my other character, hunter from D1. really being more careful with resources and boosting weapons more effectively. also started playing with a regular fireteam, which is much more fun.
also, might be a dumb question but has that Taken strike on EDZ that ends at the dam always in the game??? played that one for the first time earlier tonight; never even knew about it though the one with Brakus Zahn was the only Earth strike.

The basics were explained as part of the campaign and you were hand carried though the whole idea more or less. Did you skip everything and did not follow any prompts or something?

I really want those Iron Banner shoulders for Titan. Those look super awesome and are recovery! Already got helmet, boots and auto rifle! Just missing the shoulders...Lol I keep getting snipers and grenade launchers. Though I got somewhat lucky today and have mannanan sr4 and Uriel’s gift in both arc and void now.
For me recovery is the best stat. You can get up to 9 on a Titan and up to 6 on a Hunter. You recharge so much faster, can go back into the fight sooner and in general die less (even a brief period of not getting hit is enough to recover health). Luckily the best looking Titan gear (IMO ofc) is recovery: Kerak, Retro, New Monarchy (reskinned Kerak), PvP from Shaxx (reskinned Devastator) and Iron Banner :-DI've found a lot of legendary gear let's you toggle a perk for recovery. After seeing a gif of what the numbers equate to, I go all in recovery and it's helped.
I think they must have tweaked something during maintenance recently. I was stuck in the 270 range of drops for a long time (despite my character just being over 280 with the right gear). Now I've progressed rapidly to about 297, if highest equipped, and drops from venders are in the 280_290 range. Blues drops are also helping me infuse higher. I've also only one character.
However, for the life of me I can't get any damn kinetic mods. I've blasted through glimmer buying them and always get void. I'd like if mods dropped from the loot table rather than a bunch of weapons I'll never use.
I did get lucky though and sweet business dropped! That's like the wardcliff coil's of kinetics in it just shreds bosses. I was finally able to solo the massive servitor public event with it twice.
Lastly, thank God iron banner is control. That's probably the best pvp mode and seems to be creating good matches.

As for mods, disassemble current legendary mods and for every two + 1000 glimmer you can roll a new guaranteed legendary weapon mod. There's a 25% chance it will be kinetic (only 4 different weapon mods exist) , so easy to get one after a few tries.

There are just a couple levels where you have to get one item to put you up over the threshold and you will start seeing a higher level range from your loot. Your loot level is calculated based on your highest potential power level minus mods. So if you were 282 but had a bunch of legendary mods then you may have really been a lower base level which affects your drops. Generally blue gear will get you a +1 or +2 level boost to gear with a legendary mod installed.
The gif I saw had it up to level 10. I'm up to 8 without much specific recovery gear. Mobility seems the least useful.
Yup, did that with mods till I ran out of components and glimmer. I'm still missing a mod or two in some of my armor as I've never gotten a legendary mod for that type. Seems in my case rather one sided towards energy weapons.
I think my hunter is at something like 7 mobility, 6 resilience, 6 recovery. Warlock is 2/4/8 or something like that. Have to check but hunter gets shafted on recovery which is why I abuse my invisibility when I get low.
