GODDAYM.

I came so close to completing a public event on my fucking own. So damn close.

For some reason, I wasn't encountering many other players. I guess that's just because it's the Alpha and not many people would be playing yet. Fuck this game is awesome though. So much fun. My type of MMO.
 
Anyone know where we can send in suggestions/bugs?

I really want to suggest upping the FOV, or atleast beg for a higher FOV option.



Doesn't hurt to ask, does it?

I've met two the first time I've played. Like I was just shooting randomly in a direction and when turned around there were those guys dancing. I bursted out in laugh.
 
So I started playing a Titan, up to level 5 now. I see a bunch of vendor selling stuff for Vanguard. How does that work? Is it some kind of subclass?
 
I just applied for DestinyGAF.
Also, having to redownload the entire game is fun. 3 hours of downloading, 0 minutes of playing.
 
I put in my code online in the sen store- now its listed under my media online

How do I download/play it now? Plz help thanks!
 
Yeah but some items require "Venguard rank 1"
Vanguard rank is your PvE ranking basically. Play more missions, co-op, raid etc (and do it well, lead etc) and this will rise.
Crucible rank is your PVP ranking. Play more competitive to rise.

Go to your "Download List" and you can queue it up there. If your PS4 is on standby mode at home it'll start downloading and the queue will let you know once it's done.
 
Anyone else getting insanely slow downloads on this thing?

It has so far taken me almost 30 mins to download the 66mb patch and is showing "74 hours" for the main download to complete.

Never had a download go this slow especially being hard wired.

I got it downloaded in about 20 minutes (with install). But I use wired connection, so..

I'm trying to do the Dark End of the Tunnel quest and I have no idea what's going on. I'm suppose to map the hive caves. I go in and there's a Hive Wizard with all his cronies, but apparently their level is ?? and they won't take any damage at all. What gives???
 
The game looks and plays really really good, the missions are a bit repetitive though and feel a lot like your normal mmo missions, I hope they improve this until release.
 
Got my invite! Have it downloading now, I have not been thus excited to play a game in a long time. Hope no one in my house is looking to use the living room tv till this is over...
 
Has anyone got any specific tactics for bosses?

I realised with spider tanks you shoot the legs and eventually the armour falls off, exposing the 'neck, of the tank that gives you a short window of big damage.

Then if you carry on shooting the same leg you do much less damage. So the idea is everyone target one leg, take the armour down, then everyone shoot the 'neck' while it's exposed. Then get everyone target the next leg. And repeat. Takes a lot less time if you do it properly.

Would like to hear some tactics for Sepkis Prime and it just seems like a damage sponge.
 
I'm enjoying it a lot. Nice change of pace in that first exploration of the homeworld. It starts out rather normally and than enters into a different genre there for a bit. And it was helpful to have Lord Tyrion there to guide me.
 
I went from not really thinking much of this game after seeing all the footage from Bungie and the leaked footage last week to loving it now after just an hour. I did the first mission then went to the PSO-esque hub world and had a blast. Then I went back to that starting area to explore and holy shit I got my ass handed to me. As I walked around I heard something screaming underground. Finally found my way in and it was a couple of enemies marked yellow with question marks. I didnt stand a chance. Looking forward to exploring some more.
