Destiny |OT2| The Last Guardians

Not open for further replies.
Something strange to me is why the game isn't full of people running around. I am in Russia doing patrols but no one is around.. the odd person is "near me" but with probably a million people playing this I figure the lobbies would be packed with people..

I am not sure what the player count is for each server / area at a time but say if each area has a limit of 24 players roaming at one time it should be full all the time right? This game seems like such a closed experience so far, unless you're with friends.
 
I think the first release of Destiny is looking like Destiny-lite. Is Bungie holding it all back to release as downloadable content?

Cause how the hell else are you going to level up your Cryptarch...
Also the more you loot, the more you dismantle, more you dismantle, the more materials you have

Go try to get 356 Spinmetals, took me 4.5 hours to do so
Now I can get 4 more, and trade them in 9 times either to the Vanguard or Crucible quartermaster and level up them quickly
Earn stuff along the way, or keep stockpiling, for the inevitable, Rare+ gear/weapons that require said materials...

You can get to 20 quickly, good luck getting the mats you need to upgrade
I can go and buy out the Green Engrams at the Cryptarch, repeat the process, level him up (very slowly due to nerf), then dismantle the trash I don't need and earn materials in the process

So my 18,000 Glimmer, just got me materials from weapons/gears, also leveled up my Cryptarch who will now better decipher those Engrams once he ranks/levels up =D

Are you having fun with the game farming for so long?

I swear I think I need to avoid OT until all the trolls moved onto the next big thing.

FYI I am not advertising or trolling.

These are my opinions and like arse-holes everyone has one! Even yourself, dude.

And the fact that the clan/group stuff is badly designed, confusing doesn't help. Almost lvl16 and haven't grouped with anyone except the randoms during the 2 strikes.

Game is OKish but no where deserves all the hype. Good time waster though.

i think the game likes to also leave you alone sometimes because otherwise it would feel like a full MMO zone where you never get to kill an enemy.

I definitely see other Guardians at a rate that is "not too much,but not too little"

Bungie will probably start the server count high so every one can get in. Then after a few weeks etc close a few off so more people play with each other.

Another thing is that when I'm doing Crucible or Strikes, no one has a mic. I just gave up eventually. I also have no friends who are playing this, which sucks.

Early content is pretty grind intensive and early loot is a whole lot of re-skins.

Later game, going by others, opens things up a bit with more unique weapons and armour. No idea about Raids yet but I'd say they'll be more unique.

What Raid (s)?

There is only one raid. And you cant play it till next week.

I did around 30 mins farming the rocket yard last night and ended up with tons of spinmetal (plus around 1200 glimmer). They may have nerfed the glimmer in chests but I personally think they've upped the spinmetal by a fair amount.
 
Got a half day off work. Will be hone around 3:30.

Level 3 atm. If anyone would like to make a fireteam, mic chat, etc... add me.

You're advertising your twitter like

"if you enjoy the controversial stuff I'm saying you can follow me here"

"destiny getting slammed on the internet"
But this thread is a known discussion for people who enjoy the game you know? Why bring that negativity in here? Go make a thread detailing all your disappointment , I'm sure others of your ilk will join, there is a healthy faction of them on Gaf. you'll become a twitter hero, and my hero for luring the trolls out of this thread into one concentrated hate group. We want to discuss why we like the game though
 
I might try the madness that is PvP, especially as somebody who normally has like a 0.5 k/d on games like CoD.

Any tips/suggestions or should I avoid all together?

I noticed that damaging the legs was the way to go. I don't know if the voice chat is working if you're not in a party. I didn't find my headset tho to test it.

And why in hell was this mission we did marked as LVL4 (Normal) in the mission select screen when we eventually encountered some LVL8 enemies while being LVL2/LVL3... :D

No idea, guess that's where the "MMO" part kicks in, it's an open area for everyone.
I jsut saw red questionmarks over those enemies, I was a little scared.

A few of my tweets on the subject:

-If they put Halo skins over #Destiny It would totally be Halo the MMO!

-A lot of people are coming in saying you can level cap 20 in about 12 hours with all strike missions done. Not impressed #Destiny

-Apparently watching the ghost fiddle around with computers and defend the area happens A LOT in #Destiny Where is the variety?

-Reading the internet and #Destiny is getting slammed. How long have I waited? 500 million and no variety to the mission structure.

Go make a thread about hating on Destiny, do not poison the official thread with your agenda and lame disses that could have applied to the Alpha.

As terrible as Kworn's posts are, OTs are not just for circle-jerking.

Read the tweets, this is not what OT's should be about. He is just hating for the sake of it at this point.

This seems to happen when there is another (in your case: lvl8) fire team on the same map.
Click to expand...

ok the game basically works like this:

take old russia. Old russia is a pretty damn big level. Like PRETTY damn big.
Now every time you enter a mission the game drops you into this area. All of it. The entire old russia area is there and you can walk through it and meet other people.

Now once you go to your mission though and enter a "darkness zone" that's where you enter an instance just for you and your fireteam. They do this so they can have stuff in there that other players wouldn't have to see. it's like phasing. like in the "dark within" mission, that one door is locked and the ghost has to open it, but if you run around there during any other mission the door is just open.

but it's not just in PvP, for example in the tower you get put together with randoms. Why can't I have the option to voice chat someone if I want to team up with them? I have to spam request join fireteam each person I see? Or perhaps pressing down on the D-Pad to dance will get them to join?

I get why they do it, but I don't get why they went to such extreme. Just have an option to enable or disable voice chat and I think complaints are gone.
Click to expand...

At the very least you need chat for PvP like any other team based MP game for any real competitive matches. I want to let my team know I was killed at A by a camper. Nope, I've just got to hope they see him better than I did.
 
I just cannot enjoy this game the single/coop gameplay is soo repetitive ☹ biggest game of the year and I can't enjoy it like everyone else.

shit happens mate.

all my friends love LoL and I don't. All my friends want Warlods of Draenor and I think it looks terrible.

Sell the game and move on :)
 
Really enjoying the game but I have four pretty major complaints.

1. Loading, loading, loading. It this a PS4 game? Who thought this was a good idea? Finish a mission, you do not get to stay, you are leaving. Then you sit on the after mission screen, have to hold Triangle for 5 seconds. Pick the tower, get a spaceflight cutscene for 45 secs all to spend less than 30secs-60 secs on the tower (so you can turn in the quest). Time to go back to the planet, but wait you have to hold down triangle to select destination...then another 30 secs to get back to a planet. Over and over again.

2. So much backtracking and constantly going to the same 3-4 locations per planet for another objective. I'm not talking about explore mode here either.

3. Loot drops feel like they were nerfed across the board. Common drops maybe the most common, but they rarely drop.

4...So far, worst story in a video game that I have played in years. So much potential, but nothing there at all.

You raise a good point. Has ANYONE seen a public event occur yet?
Click to expand...

Nope, not a single one. Can you only get them in explore mode?
 
Well, got to level 15 today, and I am absolutely loving this game. Always nice to just take a break from the story, and go play with my lower level friends. They don't mind, and I still get EXP.

Quick question though. When do the Playstation peeps get that exclusive crap?
 
Just bought the Digital Destiny PS3 version, that free PS4 upgrade option is gonna come in handy in the future. £50 squid though, thank god for discounted psn cards. Technically only payed £38.
