For a loot based game the drops through 9 levels have been underwhelming to say the least. Glad to hear it picks up later but I think they should have way more lower level rare drops, etc.
 
I think Destiny's story suffers from it letting you do missions in different orders. It's weird that they let you do that since your level pretty much dictates which mission you should do. It's not even like I am expecting some amazing and captivating story. I like Diablo 3, and it's story is pretty weak. But at least Diablo 3's story makes sense. Yeah they throw a lot of filler lore stuff in the game, but you at least know what the hell is going on in the main story.
 
I must be easy to please because I'm liking the story elements a lot so far, but I feel like I'm the only one who does. Bummer to see people who have actually beaten still say the story isn't very good. I do agree it could have been presented better though, and dinklage really is terrible. But I still like the whole idea with the traveler vs the darkness, the hive/moon stuff, etc. excited to see where it goes from here. I'm about to head to Venus
 
They sent me home 3 hours early from work...

I agree. I think a patch should fix this ASAP, especially considering to level up(?) blue gear you have to get mats from disassembling greens. It's an odd balance.
 
I haven't seen anyone mention this, so maybe it's just me, but does anyone else miss the positional audio chat from the Beta? It was nice to be able to tell where members of your fireteam were just by listening to where their voice was coming from. Someone could say "Come over here" and I could tell where that was without even asking.

Has bungie commented on why they took that away?
 
got to level 21+ last night and beat the story, pretty bad story imo

I haven't finished it yet, but everything is pointing towards this outcome.

I fear the best part of the story will be the video intro... :(

And I don't see future expansion packs truly adding a lot more "plot". This game is all lore that is fed to you by voice dialogue from your ghost... not plot. (Did up to one mission on moon, please tell me I'm wrong and a plot develops...)

Off topic but I just finished Act 4 for the first time. This is my first Diablo game and I gotta say
Heaven is filled with a bunch of jobbers and Diablo was piss disappointing.
 
Still 2.5 more hours until my last class is over. I just want to get back to unlocking more Sunsinger skills already.

I'm gonna make/post a vid tonight to show why I'm in love with Sunsinger.
 
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.
...he's saying with a large magazine you have to reload less. I'm using one with higher damage but only 4 shots.

Yea that's what I meant. If the bullets are gonna do the same damage from all of my handcannons, I might as well use the one with the biggest magazine in Crucible (unless I have one with good perks as Afrocious mentioned)
 
Oh yeah, I forgot I'm overleveled lol. Thanks PvP!

At this point, I'm debating if I want to get to 20 via pvp or just finish the story.

How much PVP did you play? My first match went horribly - it was on the moon and vehicles fucked me up nicely (didn't have heavy weapons).

can someone explain what and how Grimoire Cards work?

I'm about 20 hours in and still have no idea what these are...

They are Bungie.net achievement like system to keep track of what you're doing.
 
I agree for the most part. Wish I could figure out how to coop with randoms.

You can stop near one, press the left and right bumpers (presumably l1+r1 on ps4) and then the button that used to be called start to 'interact' with the player. And there is an option to invite to your fire team.

I had a pretty good run with a random last night... Until Xbox Live voice chat got all fucked and he couldn't hear me anymore...

Yeah, you may as well use a gun that holds more bullets. I use a level 6 pvp gun that's green and I'm level 16, but I wreck with it.

The make-or-break point is what perks the guns have. Considering a handcannon, go with one that has the most bullets and gives you OP hip fire accuracy or something lol
 
How are you leveling it? Did you finish voidwalker?

I didn't finish Voidwalker. I knew months ago that I'd rather be Sunsinger so I switched as soon as I hit 15. I'm not doing anything specific to level it. Just bounties and such to make it go faster while I do strikes/patrols. I'm 1 skill behind my Voidwalker tree at this point. Almost caught up.
 
This game is great. Really great.
Not to say it doesnt have problems though.

There needs to be a way to go from the tower to a planet quickly..

Why cant we talk to people in multiplayer?

Do we ever get more than 1 grenade later?

And also provide bonuses as they level up. Nice little incentive to keep doing anything you feel like.

But don't some of them show stat boosts? I could have sworn
 
Trying to do strike playlist, people quitting finish thr strike at 2. Another joins for next round doing well, and disconnected from gameworld... sigh
 
As a Titan, throwing a flashbang into a group of Fallen, and then rushing in with shotgun up and fists ready to smash some skulls is one of the greatest feelings ever.

This game man.

I'm about 20 hours in and still have no idea what these are...

if you have the companion app on your smartphone or if you go on Bungie.net you can view the cards there.

They hold lore on various things within the game, and for things like weapons you can view your individual stats for that weapon. How many kills you have with your auto rifle, for example, how many kills are precision kills, what Rank you are in that weapon, etc. Same thing with enemies. Can see how many Vandals you've killed, how many deaths by them, etc.

Check it out: http://www.bungie.net/en/Grimoire

You unlock cards with little bits of lore in them that you can read there. In addition, completing certain goals on the backs of cards will get you small rewards. So like for the Moon, Ocean of Storms card, killing stuff there and reaching certain thresholds will increase the materials that spawn there for you.

Quite a bunch. I like Control the most since I do better in it than Clash and Rumble. It's a lot easier for me to get kills in it when everyone's going after objectives.

Neato. I wish we didn't have to swap between subclasses. I find that to be a hinderance and an unnecessary grind. I don't mind it with guns and gear, but with subclass abilities, it would be a lot easier to have them both level with the player instead of only leveling when they're equipped.

You get different kinds of grenade abilities, and you can also set it up to where you can throw them faster.
 
Ghost: "This should lead us right to the grave; the world's grave, not ours."

Best line in the game so far. i lol'd.

I really liked Dinklebot. I wasn't sold during the alpha but the added filter in the Beta helped but I was still lukewarm but after finishing the game, yeah, Dinklebot is a cool little light.

Yeah, I do wish all possessed subclasses leveled as you gain experience.
 
Soo, what's the best type of weapon for PvP? Im using a hand gun right now, but seems I'm already dead before I get a chance to shoot.
