got to level 21+ last night and beat the story, pretty bad story imo

For the vanilla story yeah, but it's pretty obvious it's not over and we will be getting more in the expansions.

Also I wonder how big the "comet" expansion is going to be since that was on the Activision court docs or if they are just splitting those into the smaller DLC.

 

[Karl Hawk]

Just found a chest on the moon that gave me a warlock bond called "trained chaos" it's a blue/rare item too. Says something about "controlling space and time. Mere matter and energy will follow". Anyone know if it actually does anything?

Like all class items, it doesn't do anything.

 

[Jito]

Do you actually have to aim down the sights all the time to hit anything? I'd love to just hip fire but ADS is all I see people doing on streams when they're a couple of metres from an enemy.

 

[Marvel]

Yeah, the melee doesn't change either. Surprised me.

Yes that too, little things but still surprising and irritating.

You know what this game needs?

Hardcore mode. Perma-death with character wipe. Would love that kind of challenge. Constantly on your toes. Heart in your throat when you get nailed in the face with an Ogre beam.

Do not want.

lol.

 

[Robbit]

I have a couple of questions regarding male and female guardians and races. Do all male races have the same running animation while on the Tower?

Also, in terms of body armor/clothes, do they look the same on both male and female, or is the cut slightly different depending on the gender (for example Dark Souls)?

 

[Phamit]

Where are the Events? Im playing for Hours, but not even a single Event started since yesterday.

 

[Jblanks]

Guys, the handgun is OP in PvP.

No its not.

 

[Cudder]

As much as I want to like this, I just can't get into it... kinda bored my already:

- Missions are pretty much the same
- Getting back to the same area over and over to kill a diferent bunch of mobs.. he not fun
- Combat is kind of the same
- Loot is not that varied nor that interesting to play with, little stats.. not meaningful
- Lore is nonsensical
- Self serious tone is dorky and annoying
- Lack of matchmaking for key activities is WTF?

For a game that is supose to be like the biggest game ever and stuff, it feels very contrived, almost small... monotonous and flat. It may be my personal bias as I usually don't like loot driven games with shooters (contradictory design), Yet this being Bungie I was expecting more I guess.

Glad most of you guys are enjoying, I wish I was.

I really agree with all of this. It's only saving grace is that it's fun to shoot shit with friends. There are some serious design flaws in this game.

I had one yesterday where one dude was running backwards and everyone had to kill him.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

I think they are in free roam and random.

 

[everyday math]

First random join up
Fun times

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Like all class items, it doesn't do anything.

Well shiiiiiit!! Thanks tho!

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Okay, thanks!

she is in the same building as the post master.

let me know if your stuff is there.

 

[Number45]

They changed the name of the explore missions to patrol right? Confused the shit out of me last night,

 

[swazzyswess]

For the vanilla story yeah, but it's pretty obvious it's not over and we will be getting more in the expansions.

Can't believe people are now defending a game's deficiencies by saying they'll be resolved in DLC...

 

[Twilight Gap]

Guys, the handgun is OP in PvP.

good

 

[Hawkian]

P. sure you have to set your Fireteam to public.

You can invite people to your fireteam without this being the case. Go to the roster screen from the options menu and people in the world with you will be on the right.

They changed the name of the explore missions to patrol right? Confused the shit out of me last night,

Yeah. You can still explore at will but if you take out your ghost it seems like it leads you on a simple route that is likely to take you by beacon quests and so forth.

 

[Frillen]

What do I do with materials (like Spinmetal)?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Can't believe people are now defending a game's deficiencies by saying they'll be resolved in DLC...

Wouldn't say he's defending it at all. If anything he agreed.

 

[koryuken]

You can only do co-op with randoms in Strikes. Otherwise you have to form a fireteam.

Can I make a fireteam out of randoms??

 

[IAmRandom31]

What does Daily Chapter do?

Today it is The Warmind.

Extra XP for the mission? Harder mobs? More loot?

 

[Phamit]

I had one yesterday where one dude was running backwards and everyone had to kill him.

Ok, so they are not turned off or something like that

I think they are in free roam and random.

I played a lot free roam, but no Event yet

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Right, but if you set it to public, anyone can join, right?

Imma try some totally random matchmaking tonight for story. Everyone in my Friends List is either too high lev or already doing something else.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Ok, so the

I hit one yesterday where you have to stop extraction teams but only had one guy help so we failed.

 

[swazzyswess]

He was responding to another person. Agreed with their comment about deficiencies, and then implied/hoped that they'll be resolved in the DLC, so they're not as big of a deal.

 

[Karl Hawk]

Can I make a fireteam out of randoms??

Set your fireteam setting to public, that should let randoms join your fireteam

 

[Birbo]

For some reason I can't get the bonus content code that was in my PS4 version accepted. Know I'm typing it in right. Anyone else have an issue?

 

[Respect]

Guys, the handgun is OP in PvP.

I keep hearing this, I guess I will have to try it out. (Not a fan of the 6 shooter myself in general - but I'll give it chance, I might like it, I can always go back if it just doesn't gel with me.)

 

[wwm0nkey]

I'm not defending it at all, it's bad, but they aren't going to just leave it at that for the entire life cycle of the game

 

[Hawkian]

right, I haven't done this myself, but I assume if you set your fireteam public, someone can go to the roster screen and join yours and it won't even prompt you, it'll just let them in.

My current hand cannon only holds 4 shots and it's still worthwhile to use. they're that good.

 

[Ark]

No its not.

Lol.

It's the weapon that requires the most skill though. It requires accuracy, aiming reticle is difficult in comparison to other weapons, if you miss a couple shots you're out of luck, reload time is still pretty long, and you can't get multi kills with it. I think it's perfectly fine where it is.

It has insane rewards if you can aim. I'm loving it right now.

 

[Oscar]

Almost level 21. The XP from Crucible is insane, I outleveled the story content.

 

[Sullichin]

So, if you use the handcannon in PVP, since weapon damage is scaled down, is it best to just use the one with the largest magazine?

 

[Papercuts]

Wow, I just did a story mission on venus and got 9 uncommon drops throughout it.

 

[Afrocious]

I thought the cap was 20.

 

[Seiru]

I hate how you're so discouraged from exploring. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, if you're not strictly following the waypoint on your motion tracker, you're making a mistake. Either you'll be led into a dead-end/invisible wall, or you'll be entering an area meant for some other mission/strike, since everything takes place in the same areas.

What's the point of having an open world design when your hand is held the entire time?

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

Can you change your character's appearance? Hair style, color, etc?

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Can you change your character's appearance? Hair style, color, etc?

at the start you can. not sure once you've made them.

Haven't run into this problem yet. I got lost on Old Earth lol.

May as well, unless you have some awesome perks on other handcannons.

 

[Number45]

I didn't think about this, for some reason assume it wouldn't give any but I only played a single control match (we got slaughtered, but I didn't suck on our team so that's a start!). I might use this to fill out the levels on the story content. ^_^

Haven't attempted the strike yet, has it changed much since beta?

Technically, it's 30. By equipping armor with light stats, you should be able to level beyond 20.

I want to see more of those characters!

You go past it by getting gear with "light" in it

 

[Khayam]

Do all modes give equal amount of XP ?

 

[Figments]

I'm starting on the first chapter of that Destiny fan fiction thing I said I would write.

I'm only curious to see how many would actually read it.

 

[RaySpencer]

Blink is only worth whatever on hit effects attached to it.

The range is about the same as your MW2 knife.

Well then Hunter it is! Cause I dont like the Warlock floaty jump, haha

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

Yeah, I meant, can you change your appearance after you are well under way into the game?

 

[Peanut Butter]

Idk if this has been answered in here, but did Bungie say that new raids will be added for free after launch? I know of the expansions and stuff, but I haven't seen anything on free content post launch.

 

[DY_nasty]

So, if you use the handcannon in PVP, since weapon damage is scaled down, is it best to just use the one with the largest magazine?

Doesn't work like that. There's no damage:mag ratio. Generally two headshots with the hand cannon at effective range can kill. 3 will kill anywhere usually.

 

[jond76]

It's so satisfying punching things as a Titan.

 

[Zakalwe]

Where do we find the ps4 exclusive ships? Are they in a specific place?
