seems like there's a lot of crazy upgrade slots.

No the only random matchmaking PvE content available is the Strike mission.

''Shooting any type of ammo picks it up''
Oh, Bungie.

I don't even understand what that's supposed to mean/do.
Shoot an ammo drop and it'll pick it up. Primary, Special, and Heavy.
I'm okay with that, I started a Hunter and got to level 2, and tried the level 2 mission on Heroic (solo) and had a blast until the end, then I had to kite guys around.
Took me much longer, but was still doable.
Edit: I think i hit level 4 when I finished
found this day 1.... like a boss. (found found...it was a random engram!)
That's what I use too, it's so awesome I rarely even bother with my sniper rifle or heavy weapon. Especially since I got some Komarov 3.0 gauntlets that improve scout reload time.
I'm never going auto, I love the semi-auto too much. Really fits with my hunter and my play style.

If there's a heavy ammo box on the ground 50m away, just shoot it and it'll get added to your ammo supply.
The shadows had flickering at a distance in the alpha as well.
It's just the shadow rendering approach. Shadow quality drops off in steps as they get farther from the camera, and shadows are dependent on the camera position and time of day. So, far-off shadows are both constantly changing and low-quality, resulting in aliasing.
This isn't unique to Destiny.
For people to chat/brag after they finish the mission/beat the boss?
It seems worse than before the maintenance because I immediately noticed it.

Loot chests seem more common so far. Made 600 bucks in 5 min just running around. Got an event in too. No reward though.

Oh...that's pretty cool actually. Could be very useful in big firefights or bossfights, where you don't want to leave cover for fear of dying.
More of that kind of talents, and less of boring stuff like quicker reload, faster firing, more dmg etc.
Urk here seems to imply that is is fixed.
Gotcha, thanks. That's unfortunate.
Yeah, I agree. It's really easy to get overwhelmed on that part. Sepiks wasn't really hard. I just sat in the entrance and saved my grenades / special for when captains spawned.
Yep, had it while playing Crucible with ya. So annoying.
Yeah seriously. It sure helps you realize how important sound is though.

I mean as in, why is there a timer at all? If people want to go into orbit they can do it themselves.

it's frustrating to play with people who dont know what they are doing.
shoot the legs damnit lol
shoot the legs damnit lol
Oh damn, never had that happen.
BTW good games to the gaffers I was with. I started getting some brutal lag spikes so I had to back out. Will probably be back in a bit.

Looking for some 360 players down to team up. Currently Lvl 3 and just beat the Wizard. GT is same as my name here
Yep. I was stuck with H, still am.

Sepiks is super easy, wave fight is also pretty easy as long as you position yourself well in the enviroment.
Spider tank is the hardest one imo. The cannon oneshots you, and it can be difficult to see exactly where it's firing, and there's not really any way to know when the cannon fires iirc.

Lol. But nah, Xbox smoothness is butter. PS4 smoothness is margarine.

Wrong.
People keep repeating this mantra for some reason.
Options button (start on xbox?), left shoulder, click on the box next to fireteam and select public.
Ta-da, campaign matchmaking.
I'm back in now. I waited at that screen and got back in.
You can see the laser aiming before it fires the one shot cannon.

When I first went to orbit I stuck the game on normal (hard for a new character due to level) and it felt like the true and tested bungie shooter I love, so good.
It's definitely fixed. Game feels much smoother now. I noticed it before but didn't think it was a big deal. Now that it's fixed I think it was more of an issue than I realized.

Agreed. I've only had a solid team once out of the few times I played through the Strike mission though; I've yet to play with anyone from my friends list or DestinyGAF so it's co-op'ing with the strong silent types
Still, it's all good and a lot of fun. I hang out underneath the main platform so I can get clear sniper shots at his center while also taking shot at the enemies on the sides.. Also, being protected like that means my teammates don't have to rely on getting revived; they'll respawn as long as one person still remains viable.

i just noticed on my last strike run that you can shoot right through the joint to the weak point. no need to open him up.
the game glitched or something and we couldn't damage his legs so we started to look for other weak points.

If no new content was added my immediate need to play only for my character to be erased in less than a week has decreased. I'll play a bit this weekend especially during the 26th but it won't be as much as last weekend.
