Is there any nerf to spikes coming?
Not that is written about anywhere. Cozmo or dmg either on twitter or reddit confirmed no GL nerfs in the cards at all for Shadowkeep launch.

First things first, in two weeks (October 1st), Shadowkeep is launching and all your gear on you and in your vault will immediately be upgraded to 750 Power Level. This makes everything i'm about to say below mostly irrelevant but its good info anyway to determine how the games deals with power level.
So "yellows" or Exotics as they're known can be re-acquired from Collections at any time. They will always drop at 20 Power below your current maximum power. If you're still leveling to 750 and an Exotic you like is keeping your current power level low, pull a new one from Collections.
Worth mentioning that your overall maximum power level is calculated not be what you're wearing but what you've acquired even if its in your inventory, vault or on a separate character (weapons at least, for that last one). New Powerful drops use this to calculate what they'll drop at.
An indispensable tool for any Destiny player is DIM or Destiny Item Manager and it will always calculate your overall Maximum power. I don't know any serious Destiny player who doesn't have DIM open at all times in the background.
As for the Purples or Legendary gear, always keep the highest Power Level gear (you DON'T have to wear it) as again, this is taken into account for your overall maximum power. Even if its not your highest level, you'll want to keep an eye on the roll or the "perks" on it. Now, in two weeks, this is all about to change at least for Armor so its not really that big of a deal. Once Shadowkeep launches, we're moving armor to "Armor 2.0" which is going to mean you'll want to reacquire everything again in a 2.0 variant, your current stuff will NOT be converted.
I got a few doomsdays, even a curated one. I don't think any have spikes. Is there any nerf to spikes coming?
Didn't end this week with the roll I was wanting on spare rations (rapid hit / rampage) but I am loving a rapid hit / rangefinder roll I got. Got a snapshot / swashbuckler roll too last night, I'll give that a shot.
Outlaw isn't available on Spare Rations. I do have a rapid hit and Rangefinder roll that's quite nice. Just would like something with a reload and damage perk.
How are strikes for newbs? Is it safe to que up and just figure it out, or should I watch guides first so I know what's going on and don't have people yelling at me? I'm not sure if these are just multiplayer quests or have some sort of raid mechanics i need to know.
Just join and attempt to help, at this point every strike can be 2 manned super easy and some solo run so having a new player figuring out the game play will not make much of a difference. When I'm running strikes so long as the other 2 are actually running with me and not afk I don't notice them till the end boss or if I manage to dieHow are strikes for newbs?

For those wanting to do the pre load on steam you have to search for it in the store. I was thinking because I already linked my account it would show up in my games list but it doesn't. I haven't pre ordered Shadowkeep so not sure if that will make it show up in your games list or not.
The game will supposedly be 105GB after the final patch and expansion are released next week. Still not as bad as Gears 4 or Black Ops IIII.Wayfarer just dropped a shipping notice too. I mean it's been since July but that's cool.
FYI - Steam has the 'pre load' download for the 90gb of destiny 2 if you want to get on that before the masses show up.
The base game is F2P, which never show up in your library unless installed. It was only in your library because you bought the new expansion.It was there in my games list the second I bought it a few months back.
Back to reckoning again yesterday. Nothing but blues and curated Outlasts. I guess it's been a good way to farm for cores. Bungie REALLY wants one to have a good outlast. All kinds of FF/Rampage or Kill clip roles with good perks. Just vaulting all of them for now until Shadowkeep. Haven't fired a single one yet, probably should try those out.
As someone who has never played a destiny game, any advice? I am looking to play a bit of the free steam version once it releases.
Just follow the story, you will lvl up, get upgrades and learn the mechanics while doing so, the more repetitive and powerful stuff comes way later when the farming starts.
Getting a friend to play with you is also good fun if you like coop.
Do you guys think Shadowfall is going to be worth it? Does the level cap increase with Shadowfall?
I only plan on playing maybe the crucible once in a while nothing serious maybe visit Zur.
So I guess we're all waiting for more instruction for the migration process. I think I've done everything conceivable per available instructions to date.
Fortunately I have to work all day today and tomorrow so I won't have a chance to try till Wednesday or Thursday. Should avoid the bum rush of launch day lolIf you have Destiny preloaded on Steam and there are no hiccups (don't hold your breath), we should just be able to boot up the game like normal tomorrow.
I'm absolutely preparing for the delays and queues.
WTF does this mean?Moon's haunted.
People getting it last minute. Maxed out my Gigabit connection last week downloading it.I tried to download from Steam for a bit and had a lot of congestion and some drop outs. Definitely not on my end. I'm going to finish up Borderlands 3 first and then get into this. That will allow the smoke to clear a little bit.
Steam was having issues all weekend, then they moved up regularly scheduled maintenance to a typically busy time yesterday.I tried to download from Steam for a bit and had a lot of congestion and some drop outs.
