Started as a Titan (was a hunter in the Alpha, and a Warlock in the beta)

Not feeling the class because his super and melee isn't as cool as the Warlock's :/

Game seems a lot harder to me.

I agree... it does seem a bit harder... AI seems tweaked or something.

This is a good thing IMO.

In other news, can anyone explain how the Vanguard Armoury actually works?
I best be able to get ARs and Scout rifles for my Warlock... can any Titans confirm ARs and Scout's at the Vanguard Armoury?
 
Such a stressful morning sat here waiting for a delivery, can't go anywhere, do anything because that's when it'll turn up.

5 Hours sat on my sofa with clear sight of the front door, just anticipating, it's really getting on my nerves now.

Bet I get nothing.

I need to go full digital
not from the UK PSN though fuck those prices
 
Couple of questions for those of you already playing; how open are the maps? Is there any sense of exploration or discovery? Does it feel... I dunno, grindy? And most important, how fun is it?

It's only grindy if you want to play the game on Hard all the way through, because you'll need to be the right level and have the right gear after a certain point as the enemies get super spongy. Otherwise the grind is non-existent for the most part.

Exploration wise it's kind of dull because it's just a big ol waste land with nothing to it. It's not like the game does a good job world building or painting this interesting universe or plot or anything, it's all sort of just there, go shoot aliens in the face. That said there are like caves and shit with enemies you can't handle with early game gear, so the sense of discovery is more like "hey I can't go there now, but when I'm stronger I'm coming back for these aliens in this cave". Because there is probably some cool shit in that cave.

Otherwise the amount of fun you will have is based on your enjoyment of running forward, and shooting aliens in the face. If you enjoy that stuff, then the game is fun, if only a very basic level. If you get tired of that stuff, eh I'd say half way through the moon it's a bit of a warning flag as the game is kind of already feeling routine.
 
Are reviews not coming in highly?

Everyone I've played with so far on PS4 and a lot of people in the thread seem to enjoy it a lot. It has faults like the stupidly overused Darkness Zones. the odd difficulty spikes, and the general story so far being uh... Well pretty bad.

But the game is fun, well made and immersive. That's worth credit.
 
To add to your post, I had already activated them a few days ago, but after starting playing today I had to go to bungie.net to activate them again.

So if people are not seeing the emblems at the special orders person in the tower, then go to bungie.net again to check if another activation is needed.

i got the emblems at the tower didnt need to activate
 
Glimmer is super easy to come by. Just go on a Patrol quest on Old Russia, then farm those respawning chests.[/QUOTE]

They didn't change that chest loop from the beta? I thought for sure they would figure out a way to patch that and make it more random.
 
What's happened to all the hype?

Its probably not as good as some were hoping it would be. It really annoys me they havent changed really any mechanics from the beta. Im sure ill have my fun with this game but there are a shitload of things that could and should be improved.

Im just starting.
 
Waking up to OT2 O_O the hype is real.

Didn't play any last night but gonna grab some breakfast then play aaaaaaaaaaalllllll day. Did you guys run into any server problems last night?

Do it.
I am pretty much fully digital, and I buy from US store.
No regrets.
 
My xb1 copy from Amazon UK arrived a while ago. Just made it to the city for the first time... and was promptly kicked off the servers (also got kicked off during the opening cutscene, but it stayed stable during the actual mission at least).
 
get gud

you gotta strike them in the head, also use cover if available

I can't beat the mission "The Last Array". Just get swarmed too quickly, cover does nothing when there's 5-6 of those agro enemies and grenades take too long to recharge. Kind of kills my desire to play.
 
Shotguns seem much improved in the final grade. Definitely seem worthwhile, especially for those hordes of guys that rush you. Back up and blow 'em up.
 
So I just hit level 9 and I've only had ONE engram drop for me so far other than the engram you get by playing one of the first story missions. Anyone else experiencing this drought of them or am I just unlucky? The drops were insane in the alpha, decent in the beta, but completely barren for me now.

Also holy shit it's 5 am I should sleep.
 
I may as well not be at work; I'm not doing anything particularly constructive.

Ultimate test of self-discipline earlier; woke up, and fired up the Xbox One to make sure everything was unlocked, downloaded any patches, make sure the Vanguard and other add-on bits were sorted.

Started the game, forcing through the update. Got to class selection...Hunter...then started playing around with character creator. Spent probably half an hour just playing around with ideas and different looks (gritty realistic, or future cyber-punk-come-Saturday Night Fever?).

Settled on my look, ready to dive in.

Then turned my Xbox off, off to the gym and then work. I deserve an emblem for not calling in sick, especially given that I can't play tonight, or probably tomorrow either.
 
What look sensetivity do you guys play at? I'm at 5 but I'm struggling to find a solid one.
Idk if it's just cause I haven't played any shooters since the beta but I feel like my aiming is off.

The trick to The Last Array is to stay the hell away from the entrance. Line up your shots and take out the thralls as they rush you; dealing with the Knights, Acolytes, and Wizard is a lot easier when you're not running around trying to avoid getting your face ripped off.
 
Amazon UK are awful for video games. I've voiced my disgust about it before many times.

You should probably start yelling at live chat now.

I've just been on live chat with them now and they can only guarantee I receive the game by 9pm, ridiculous.
 
Game is exactly what I expected after many hours in alpha and beta. I'm glad it's finally here. I've held off the story for a bit so my friends can catch up. So I've been testing out the new crucible modes/maps. So good. This is gonna be my crack for awhile, an I haven't even scratched the pve itch yet. Gg Bungie.


Dax01, you should put the day 1 patch notes in the OT2 or something. Instead of just copy, paste the original OT with a few new thanks including yourself. You didn't even thank spawnling for his effort. Thanks Spawnling for OT1 and OT2.

You mustn't play many games above 60 FPS then. This is the first 30fps Shooter I have played in months and it is very very noticeable if you are primarily a console player you probably wont notice it .

I play 90% of my games on PC.

Huge stickler for 60fps (turn down settings to acheive it).

Destiny at 30fps didn't bother me at all. PS3 during beta.
