OK so i got the LE.

Inside there are 3 codes to redeem. One is the season pass.

Then there are two others. Can someone explain what they each give you specifically?

 

[sp3000]

What would you say to someone who is looking at this primarily for PvP? Your description of the single player stuff is pretty in-line with what my friends have said. Which is fine. But would this still be worth the purchase if I'm mainly interested in the competitive multiplayer?

I've always loved the Bungie Halo games online and was hoping for similar enjoyment out of this. Sounds like it may not be there, though.

After playing Halo for the better part of 10 years. I can safely say that the PvP is no where up to the refinement of that series. Which is strange since a ton of the innovations of Halo (Forge, Custom Games) are nowhere to be found in Destiny.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Dang bunj must be getting hammered. Companion is slow as dang.

 

[Liamc723]

So I've put about 10 hours into the game now, just got access to The Reef. Gameplay is generally pretty fun but yeah, the missions are pretty much all exactly the same. Take out a room of enemies, deploy your ghost at a computer terminal, defend ghost, done. Rince repeat.

The multiplayer is okay, I guess. I'll play it until something better comes along like the Master Chief Collection.

 

[postcyberpunk]

Loving the game. Not without its faults, but definately what I was after.

I was not going to purchase until one of my friends list peeps convinced me. I played the beta but am having a blast going back to Old Russia. I really like this game

Spoiler

for the time being.

It does feel extremely polished.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

I found another way to get the emblem; it's from the vendor next to the mail robot.

 

[Ark]

Thanks guys.

Where do I redeem the collectors edition content? The ghost skin and icon?

In the PS Store under 'Redeem Code'.

Read them, lol.

One gives you early access to the Vanguard Amoury and the other gives you the digital goodies like the Ghost Casing, Legendary Ship, and Emblem.

 

[Pandora012]

Started an new Character. Anyone that want to join, jump in.

 

[super-famicom]

Thanks guys.

Talk to the Post Master and/or Special Orders Lady, near where you spawn in at the Tower.

 

[WITHE1982]

i am terrible at pvp...

Don't worry you're in good company. I just about managed a 1.00 KD during the beta.

Not tried in the full game yet though.

Agreed, Destiny's multiplayer is almost a joke compared to Halo's. 5 very standard modes and it's not exactly addictive, not sure what went wrong with Bungie here.

 

[saveweyard]

About to do the strike on Earth if anyone wants in.

 

[Afrocious]

Back in the beta, I found PVP in the ps3 version easier than the PS4. Anyone smarter than me can come up with reasons why? I figured it was because of pixels or some mumbo jumbo.

 

[postcyberpunk]

I would love to have that k/d... mine was around .45, but that seems normal for all mp games for me. I am scared as shit for the Iron Banner.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

Odd she only gave me the icon.

 

[psychotron]

Game is installing now.....what class is everyone using? I tried Hunter in the Alpha and Warlock in the beta, and enjoyed Warlock more.

 

[Diablohead]

 

[Jimmyfenix]

How many strikes are there?

 

[Drama Zed Nod]

In the PS Store under 'Redeem Code'.

Ahh, i got the ghost skin, ship and emblem but couldnt figure out what i got for the other. It has some weird name like "Bonus Digital Content".

Is the Vanguard Armory on the tower, a shop?

 

[Icyflamez96]

Not to sound like I'm part of a defense force or anything, but I'm all the way in the Moon at level 12 and the loading has only bothered me in the beginning of the game with the intro cutscene.

defense force in full blast people! PATHETIC

Spoiler

:3

 

[SirNinja]

Finally, these are up for PS3 digital CE buyers.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Anybody looking to do the Earth strike on ps4?

Edit: nvm

 

[Z3M0G]

Need to ask again, this thread is insane...

Ps3, guardian edition, how do I get my new ship? It doesnt appear to be a "renew licenses" thing like ps4...

 

[super-famicom]

Odd she only gave me the icon.

Does it appear in her list? If so, and you can't claim it, you may be carrying too much stuff. Deposit some things into your vault and try again.

The vendor for that is in the ship hanger. He's a robot if that helps.

 

[MattyG]

MP announcer sounds like he's getting suckered punched when he says "Zone a-HAY lost".

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Daaaaaaamn.

 

[Izuna]

So you played the beta, found that nothing was fun, and somehow expected the full game to miraculously be completely different?

Nah just using my friend's profile for it. I feel that the full game really did fix a bunch from the beta but overall I'm just voicing my opinion. I get it, opinions don't matter, I feel that this game is as successful as its marketing allowed it to be. I can't imagine this game being stealthy released and have anywhere near the kind of hype it does. But just like that, I'm part of the whole "let's see what this is about" party.

That being said I will probably end up maxing out all three classes since I have more spare time than I thought I would until Sunset comes out or something.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

I may be one of the few but I'm loving the PvP. It doesn't seem to be rare for epic standoffs to happen in hectic ways and even if it isn't balanced great I'm not really struggling either. I'm never at the top but I seem to be having fun either way, I think I my Exo Hunter likes being a cyborg space frog.

 

[bobbyrawlins]

Between the beta and now, I've lost any and all Crucible skill I accrued during said beta.

I'm terrible. Lucky to get over a .5 k/d right now. Oh well, I'll get better.

 

[GluedOnBeard]

Agreed, Destiny's multiplayer is almost a joke compared to Halo's. 5 very standard modes and it's not exactly addictive, not sure what went wrong with Bungie here.

I'm still enjoying it and it's not a bad game but it is a poor mans Halo. It will keep me happy till MCC comes out FPS wise and will be nice to see what the expansions bring.

It feels like this game was designed for a ton of expansions given how barren it is.

In the beta I was normally first or second place (not to brag hyuk hyuk hyuk).

I'm actually bored of PvP already since I did it so much in the beta. Also, I had way more fun with my friends than queuing solo. My best KDR was 10.0 and I was screaming the entire match about how much I hated the moon level lol.

That was on the PS3 version though. I find the PS4 version harder, at least on the beta. Dunno how it'll be once I finish this PS4 download.

 

[Rodelero]

Having played the alpha and beta I found that the pvp was enjoyable albeit with some issues. My experience thus far on the actual game is so depressing. It feels like Bungie have just amalgamated all of the worst concepts of shooter design since CoD4 in one horrid mess. I cannot believe this studio made Halo.

The supers are horrid. The time-to-kill is far too low. The netcode feels subpar. The new maps, so far, really haven't impressed me. Simplicity is beautiful in map design, and these maps are exactly the opposite. Too much crap all over them, too many routes around them. You end up in so many fights where you're dead before you even have a chance of returning fire, and moreover, far too much of the fighting is going on at close range where you're likely to be killed by an endless list of one-hit-kill weapons and powers.

I'll keep playing, but right now I feel really down on it. I would love something slower paced.

 

[Z3M0G]

Oh shit... maybe this was my problem. They were late?

Edit: There we go, thanks!!

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

Nope the ship and the ghost casing aren't on her list.

 

[WITHE1982]

I agree Iron Banner's not gonna be as fun this time around, especialy if I don't level up my character a lot.

 

[eznark]

I own Destiny on a disc and I own it digitally. Can I install from the disc, sell the disc, and still play it? This download is taking forever

 

[Finalow]

eh, not sure if I should get this on ps3 (I read that it looks pretty bad?) or wait for 3-4 months until I get a ps4. I know about the ps3 - ps4 free upgrade but it's for the digital game only and I don't want to buy the digital version. ;-[

Yeah he's just down the stairs and to the right of the Shipwright. He's a robot/Exo with a blue icon above his head

i agree. Played 3-4 matches couple hours ago and it was alot of fun. I still dont understand when you get a weapon/ armor "gift" or unlock or whatever on the right of the screen. Earlier somebody with an avarage/ bad K/D got armor and everybody else got nothing.

 

[The Lamonster]

I only had one redeemed emblem waiting for me at the postmaster, but I redeemed all of the codes. What gives?

How can I tell if the vanguard preorder stuff worked? The vendors stuff is all locked out and my rep is 0.

 

[bombshell]

So, what is you guys' maximum generated orbs?

In a well executed titan super I generated 8

 

[Timu]

This is pretty much the same character I made in the beta, lol:

 

[Afrocious]

I've gotten 8 off of doing a Nova blast on a bunch of golds.

OT 2? Didn't this come out yesterday?

Yeah you're right, I am enjoying the mission side of things but the multiplayer just isn't doing it for me, I've found it a bit boring honestly after a few matches.

I'll definitely keep the game and check out the expansions when they release, but Destiny isn't going to have a very long lifespan for myself.

 

[TheRealTalker]

How do you access the PlayStation content anyway?

you know the three armour sets, guns, and ships....


Do you unlock them somehow? Are they not yet available?

 

[super-famicom]

For anyone that can't find all the bonus/preorder stuff, go to the PSN store, look in your download list, and you should see some Destiny Bonus Digital Content stuff. Download it if you haven't, and if you have but still can't get the items, renew your digital licenses in the PS4's settings. And if it's stuff from redeeming codes on Bungie.net, go back to the site and you'll see that you have to click a button to redeem the item now, if you hadn't already. If you do this while still in game, log out and close the game, then restart. This is what I did earlier today and I have all the bonus preorder stuff now.

OT 2? Didn't this come out yesterday?

The thirst is real/Gotta go fast/etc

 

[Homeboyd]

Once you redeemed them did you then go to b.net and click "use code" (or whatever it says)?
