Man, sounds like the forsaken expansion ended up being pretty good, guess ill have to check it out, I need to decided on PC vs PS4 and get it.

Picked up the legendary edition for 99 bucks last week. Even though I read many positive things about the Forsaken expansion I'm still playing quite casually with low expectations. For all their missteps, Bungie does nail the FPS gameplay and shooting mechanics very well.
That's exactly what I'm planning on doing, just completed the base campaign and will start osiris soon. Have no interest in using the character boost as I've never played the game before.Have you played the campaigns?
The need to do PvP to complete challenges is infuriating.
I don't hate the Crucible, but I don't like when the game forces you to play it (or other MP modes) to accomplish normal quests. I've mostly avoided the other modes since this new season launched, but I suppose I'll have to at least play Gambit mode to get the Ace of Spades. I just unlocked the Dreaming City last night, so I still have some more missions there before I plan to dive into the MP stuff.
I still have yet to see an exotic drop of any sort. One of my friends on the Xbox has managed to get 3 so far, so I know they're out there.
I've never gotten some of these "weapon sidequests" done yet whether it was from Osiris (forgot what it's called off top of my head) and we'll see if I'm able to get Cade's handgun or not. I'm not against some grinding and such but some of it is (for me) more trouble than it's worth.
I am having a hell of a time getting equipment above 500. I have a 504 legs, 509 mask, and a 509 submachine gun, but that's it. Keep getting 500 bullshit. Frustrating. Want to do Blood Clever and some Dreaming City but those require higher stats.
Let's review just how many powerful drops you're eligible for right now:

If you do any of them right now, Polaris Lance and Sleeper Simulant are worth the effort.
Question about a certain place post Forsaken storyline:
This Rheasilvia lost sector... are these enemies super beasts? All with ??? and immune to any and all damage? I'm 506.
I can't login, keep getting some crap about having to start the game through Battle.net. I am already...
Edit: I guess a lot of people are having this issue and are writing about it on the Bungie forums. Oh well.
So, are there any additional story missions in the Dreaming City? I did the first one and I can't tell if there's something else I should do next or if that's it for the main story.
Looks like the raid was just beat. Chests and thousand voices everywhere
You could start here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/de...ent-info-thread-we-hunt-best-in-a-pack.11705/Got this game about 2 weeks ago. Up to level 46 without boosting. Enjoying the game a lot. Now trying to find a clan and it seems impossible. Everyone I applied said no, need 500+ power and experience in raids and pvp. Anyone know a clan willing to take a newer player that wants to pvp and raid?
Looking for some quick advice on getting Cade's hand cannon. Do Gambit weapons scale? Does the kill via Hand Cannon work only vs. people invading you or can you invade them and get those kills?
Any tips to make this easier?
Somewhat related, what are some good weapons people have found? I still really like the bows, but I dunno if I've found anything else that's a real game changer. The newer heavy auto rifles are kinda novel, but they also often feel weak. I have on decent one that fires a little slower and hits harder, but the other 3 have all of the stopping power of a BB gun.
I have yet to get any exotic drops or hand cannon drops, period.
The grind is definitely real. I'm also noticing a distinct lack of activity in the Dreaming City area. It's pretty tough to take out a public event with less than 3 people (except the Taken invasion one) and typically I'm only seeing random individuals running around. I find myself mostly doing the "kill 10 enemies" and "collect shards" missions there since I'm not powerful enough to do much else. I have done quite a bit of exploring and that level is absolutely huge. Tons of "empty" space, so I assume a lot of that is tied to missions I haven't unlocked yet.
In my previous post I edited to add the name of the hand cannons I've found in Forsaken thus far. I did have a post story/ raid is open story mission open up in Dreaming City that definitely supports the "open space is there for a reason" idea. I can do a few of Petra's daily bounties but ain' no way am I set to do anything past that with her even at 520. Not by myself.
Tangled Shore is where I spent a lot of my time to get to 500 and even for a while past that. What is your overall rating right now?
Spider's bounties rack up along with Heroic public events. I use bounties as "I'm going to do this anyways so it all adds up" wherever I am at.
I use a Fireteam Medallion from Eververse every day, too, before I start playing. It all adds up. Whatever I can get.

My biggest complain is farming materials to infuse weapons. Yes, I know I can buy them from Spider but if you don't have shards, then it's just another stupid grind task from the game.
