Sounds like a challenge....


are you lol wowing as though this is bad design?

I didn't honestly know that was the case until reading the comment you replied to, but now I'm excited. I knew that there was some scaling so that you didn't simply oneshot everything ten levels below you, but that plus this is a good recipe. I think preferring the alternative is arcane.

this is a design element in guild wars 2 and I fucking love it. I understand it's different, but bear with me for a second.

in this kind of game, you will be replaying content to get the most out of it. that is a given, a "must-acknowledge-before-entry," a known variable. But even though you need to improve your character and continuously upgrade your gear to be effective, the total pool of content that is relevant to you only shrinks in a traditional MMORPG. As you get higher, the idea of redoing the first zone for anything worthwhile becomes a joke.

Instead, this other style mean that you can choose wherever you feel like going questing and have a shot at decent rewards. There are many reasons this is good, but for one thing, if you go and help a new player out, it ensures that it might not be a completely pointless exercise for you. Furthermore, it's more freedom in terms of doing what you feel like. The question you responded to is hilarious to me:

Uh because that sounds like it would get old as fuck? The idea that you could just pick the easiest possible tasks and do them over and over again rather than attempting something more challenging is supposed to be incentive for me? I mean feel free if that's what you want to do, but... I thought we wanted to reduce the sense of repetition here.

Yet consider the other angle, if only level 2 stuff dropped for you back on Earth. "What's the point of going back to Old Russia if I can only get decent drops on Mars?" Traditionally the answer is: none. enjoy Mars. But with this framework you can hop back to the moon or earth and still get some relevant advancement.

Design applauded.

No they decreased it
The beta spawns were actually quite numerous

Yeah, I remember doing chest runs with you.

I just got to level 10. I think I've come across, maybe, three that weren't golden? Pit that against being able to find literally dozens in a few minutes in the beta, yeah biiig decrease.
 
So I'll be online later with 3 other friends. Will we all be able to play together?

I heard about 3 man teams. Is there any workaround? If we setup a 4 way party chat so we can all talk to each other can we just play in the same area or will we be split onto different servers or something?

Probably split, sadly its only 3 person fire team. Although crucible is up to 6 people, so u all 4 can play some modes there.
 
I asked this awhile ago, but it understandably got swallowed up in all the post-release excitement:

Is there a way to delete characters?

The create-a-character options are great, but unfortunately they only give you one static angle to look at your creation. So I went through about 4 variations before I landed on a character I was happy with. How do I delete the others?

Hold square on character select screen.
 
What's the score with the PS4 exclusive content? I can't see the ships in game, ate they just exclusive items in the loot table?

Lol I have no idea wtf the story is. If you dont pay attention its flies over the head. It really has the worst format for story telling I must say. I haven't tested this but story missions became open for other lvls so u can mayb play in any order. Besides that stuff, co op is a blast, you will enjoy everything, solo stuff is awesome to provided that you care about the character lvling up and loot and discovering new things. The only disappointment is the way they tell the story with its mission based concept.

Thanks. Maybe I'll buy it when it is cheaper then.

Is the embargo for this still up or has no one published reviews yet? Not picking this up until I see some reviews.

There is no embargo. They are still playing the game. Some gaming sites are streaming the game, or giving their impressions. I recommend to watch/read them.
 
Considering picking it up after work. (Regretting that I canceled my amazon.ca pre-order at a much lower price now)

Just want to know a few things.

1) Is co-op made so that anyone can help anyone? If my guardian is lvl 12 and my friend lvl 4, I assume he wouldn't be able to join me on my missions or whatever they're called, but I could help him right? Would I be cheesing everything or I'd be down-scaled to his level?

2) Am I missing out on anything since I didn't pre-order?

3) Any point of getting the expansions right away since they're not out before December?

4) Why are games $70 in Canada? :(
 
Wish I hadn't played the beta, this beginning is a bit of a grind. Controls are still awesome and great to play new maps in the crucible. Was hoping for an interesting array of trophies but they are really by the numbers. Tonight after work I should be through all the Beta content and then future begins, very excited about that moment.

Also big shout out to the servers. I have never seen an online console game roll out so smoothly.

Here's my review (played both alpha and beta... played about 4 hours now of the released game, I have this whole job thing that keeps getting in the way):

Do you like Halo? Mass Effect? Borderlands?

Do you enjoy FPS and think it would be really cool if there was an added "social" element to the usual lone wolf feeling you get from most first person shooters?

If your answer these questions is "yes," then you need to pick up this game immediately.
 
So I'm stupid and forgot I had pre-ordered Destiny online at the Microsoft Store. Is it possible to return my copy to a retail MS Store?

So that room under Old Russia that had the ??? dudes in the beta...was there any point to it? I made my way back there for revenge (I totally forgot about the place) and there wasn't anything in there, just a few dudes lol

I was worried about this. Beta gave the sense that there was something really great down there to return to when powerful... turns out:

At best, it's where the DLC will take place... :/
 
You can definitely see the resolution bump in the Xbox One version. It plays like butter as well. Ah, it feels good to be playing this again and knowing that the leash is off.
