Talk to the guy that is closest to the edge of the tower, behind the postmaster dude. He has your goodies. The Vanguard Armory can be found next to the shipwright/master.
Less annoying? You would have preferred that they would run into you no matter what?

Eeesh, check my phone this morning and most of my friends are already bailing on the game. And I get the blame for getting them hyped. Now they want me to come back to play Diablo 3 with them. lol - I'm only lvl 5 and they burnt through over night to lvl 13 - 14. I still want to play!
The game is not what it was hyped up to be but it is a competent shooter with great gameplay mechanics and playing with friends makes everything better.
I played for about 2 hours last night and got to level 5. I'm still loving it, even though I've not really done anything outside what I did in the beta yet, although there are certain little differences that have me wanting more (I'm not sure if there was a Hard Mode option available in the beta, but I'm using it now and it's making things a lot more interesting).
I've got 6 days off coming up as of Friday and I know the majority of it will be spent with my warlock. Feel free to add me, GAF: PSN - CaptQasiel

On PS4, hit down while on the game icon before you launch, then go to Related Items, and download the Goodies, then the Expansion. Then you pick up the stuff at the Postmaster.
Really? What physics are at play in an energy sword (Halo/Star Wars)? What physics are at play when we talk about beaming oneself from a ship to a nearby planet?
It's also called fiction. It should be fun. Which means that mouth-breathers who complain about whether the Jupiter of Destiny is the same as the Jupiter of our reality should calm down. Of course fiction is never going to be reality that is why it is wonderful.

What the hell?
King's Watch is still blocked off...
Hahahahah for real what the fuck yo
Omg im just dying with laughter and sadness all at the same time.
I guess we'll pay to unlock it at some stage lol.
You can go to Tess Varis (SP?) in the Tower right next to the Postmaster and she'll have it, but I already had it in my inventory after I entered the code if I remember correctly.

1 day down - 5 hours of playtime. Lv. 10, 1300 kills, 3 deaths.
Loving it so far. Absolute love. Which I knew I would since Beta was so fun. I danced around the room once I hit lv. 9 lol. All those dozens of hours spent locked behind lv. 8 just staring at that lv. 9-10-12 equipment laughing at me.
Loving the moon also. Loving it. Awesome style. Awesome environmental design. Really fun enemy encounters. Nothing beats knocking some dude off their pike with a well placed HC shot to the skull and then jumping on and blasting away at his buddies. Good stuff. The story missions are great fun as well. Especially, I believe, the Worlds Grave mission where
Found this thing last night and can't wait to level up and try it out

you get the sword and get to slice and dice enemies

I don't see how anyone can enjoy Diablo 3 but then not like this.
But then again,opinions. I find Diablo 3 incredibly boring and I guess they do Destiny.
Check your mail box for just about everything.Then go to the Vanguard Armory right next to the ship vendor. (he's on the lower level on the right hand side) You will be able to buy some great starter gear. That's it!

Quick questions:
1) How does playing with friends work? Invite to fireteam, obviously, but then do I need to stay in the Tower? or can they link up with me in the world? Also, with how fragmented the servers are, does this work for all your friends or just the ones on the same server as you?
2) Is there anyway to view your cards without linking your PSN account to bungie.net? I know I am probably just being paranoid about internet security, but I don't really want Bungie to have my PSN account info.
Thanks in advance for the replies.

What is King's Watch and why is this a big deal?

Yeah that's what I'm hearing from a lot of people. I haven't played much yet but this thread on Reddit has me worried - http://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/2fxawn/destiny_megathread_2_20140909/
Makes me wonder how it'll review.

Yup when I finally got to level 9 and past the beta restrictions, I was grinning wide from ear to ear! Adventure awaits, friend!
Running for cover is fine, but the way they can do it running backwards whilst shooting at you as if they have eyes on the back of their head is annoying. They should not have the same offensive capabilities running away as they do attacking, it's annoying, and they only do it because they know they have more HP than you.
EDIT: Finished Moon Strike, that wasn't so bad.
I agree it's annoying having to chase after some enemies who circle around cover to avoid you but that's what I like about it. It kind of gives them a bit of personality as I'm sure that's what I'd do if faced by a maniac wielding a huge weapon.
Generic does not equal bad though.
My bicycle is completely generic but I enjoy the shit out of riding around on it.

A good start. But faaaaaaar from the best thing ever. I wouldn't give it goty.
Lots of interesting ideas, but also lots of dumb ideas. Bungie has a lot to learn I think.
Destiny 2 should be much better.

An area in old russia that was locked for the alpha and beta. Naturally everybody assumed the game would give us access to these blocked off area's when the full game came out.

It was a huge area that you could glitch into during the beta. That and Seraphims Vault were 2 areas expected to be in the game. There was also the underground grottos and another building I forget.
It's disappointing it was cut from the game, especially since Kings Watch had Fallen set in it.
That was my opinion from my brief stay with the Beta. The campaign, online co-op, etc. were all quite fun, but the PvP was instantly a blast for me.

Watching streams, let's plays and quicklooks are actually perfect for determining a whole bunch of stuff.
I will never understand this argument.
You don't go around yelling at people because they think a particular game looks good in a trailer/video or stream either do you?
1) If you invite people to your fireteam and set a destination, people will join you from any place. So let's say friend 1 is on the Moon and friend 2 is in The Tower, if you set the destination to Earth both friends will join you in the loading screen and then you fly to Earth with both of your friends.
It's a Reddit thread. They are always always always doom and gloom and the people who like something get drowned out by the hordes of people who probably don't even have the game or never even wanted it complaining about it because it is the popular thing to do atm.
If ever there was a game that involves doing exactly the same thing over and over and over again with no variety and bugger all story its Diablo 3.

So I really only have two main issues with the game.
1. The world itself is so damn empty, and you're not really rewarded for exploring. Yea it's has big "open world" area(s), but the world is only filled with constantly respawning enemies, and a handful of loot chess.
2. The story's premise is pretty fucking awesome, but the way that they express the story through gameplay/cutscenes is absolutely horrible. It's like I know that the story is there, but the way it is executed is what the problem is. Bungie did such a great job telling the story of Halo in Halo:CE, but it seems that destiny's story is taking a backseat.
I do love the shooting, weapons, gear, UI, and everything else, but I'm just not feeling the two complaints listed above...

I have a feeling Bungie is going to start creating events, like the Iron Banner area that is blocked off in the tower, that unlocks various areas of the PvE world. Call it a hunch.
Yup. That has been how it is throughout this games development.
See Videos = looks generic and boring
Play = holy shit this is fun!
If I was reviewing, I'd give it a 7/10.
It's a good game but the multiplayer isn't anything special, especially compared to Halo. The mission structure is extremely repetitive, but this series does have so much potential. Destiny 2 should be a lot better.

Naw I get it. Diablo 3 as of now is just structured a lot better in terms of replay value. But they forgot about the raids which didn't seem to faulter their opinion. I may have to rely on you GAF for raids. I will tank that shit up hard.
Speaking of Clans, DestinyGAF NA East 6. Why no Playstation option to opt in for clan?
Underground Grottos are in the game. My friend and I found the entrance last night but enemies were ?? so we ran away.

exactly same thoughts here
That would be my bet also.
Raids are with 6 people iirc.
I love it when enemies in Titanfall trip over themselves when they see a Titan. Although we won't get AI like that in a multiplayer game without cloud processing, which is a shame Destiny doesn't use as well. Animation is bare bones because they need to have it sync up with the last gen consoles. Destiny 2 should be much better in this regard.

They story is the story, but chat and UI stuff can change for the better. Bungie listened to the tank and weapon feedback from the beta, so make sure you go to their site and let them know. You do it respectfully like you did here and hopefully we get some of the fixes before that first DLC^^

I massively enjoy Diablo 3. Do not enjoy Destiny. Difference? The combat in D3 was much, much more satisfying. That, and the loot elements combined with the all the customization for your character were just on another level then Destiny's.
Oh and random matchmaking for pretty much anything.

Bleh, losing streak on Crucible. Time to log off.
Remember that only the fireteam leader can choose a mission and the rest will follow!
And raids have 6 people.
To be fair 90% of FPS games look boring on videos. It's all bout the feel of the game, the weight and variety of the guns and the satisfaction of finding a new piece of kit.
If I'd not played the alpha or beta I probably wouldn't have bought Destiny at all especially if my opinion was based solely on youtube.
I've not had a chance to play Titanfall yet as I'm on PS4 but this sounds very cool.
