This might not be a popular opinion but imho the map design for Old Russia and the surface of the moon isn't doing it for me. I mean it doesn't they're so devoid of life (I know the moon and all), but in general it feels like a big disjointed mixture of multiplayer maps. Even if (possibly) they weren't going for realism I find my immersion broken. The empty generic structures, the sporadic small caves with nothing inside, the barren land. The inside of the moon has more inspired structures that don't feel like they were taken out of a multiplayer map. I can't be too eloquent on it because I can't find the right words to describe how I feel I or why other areas of the design that are making me feel this way I guess.

Maybe Mars and Venus will feel like places that could in a future exist.

Venus yes, definitely. Mars... doesn't work quite as well, but the ruins are sufficiently impressive to carry the day.
 
can motes of light be used to purchase weapons? or only guardian specific clothing pieces from the Speaker? 25 a lot.

is there some sort of temporary vendor that shows up once a week we should be looking for? is there a schedule for that?

Datamining from the Beta showed a vendor named Xur of the Nine who apparently shows up only on weekends and takes Strange Coins in return for gear.

Guys please help! I entered in all the codes that came with my ps4 LE of Destiny but I haven't seen any of the exclusive content. How do I see this stuff? In lv23 and finished everything in the game but can't find Dust Palace or the MP map or even the preorder Vanguard Armory wtf :(

The Dust Palace Strike is on Mars (look on the bottom right when opening the map). It will randomly drop the exclusive gear. The Vanguard Armory stuff is useless to you at level 23. It's available for purchase from the Vanguard Quartermaster (the robot in the hangar at the Tower), but it maxes out at level 10 (I think).
 
Any chance that anyone here has a spare Gamestop Advanced Warfare preorder Destiny Shader code I can have to save me a trip to Gamestop later to preorder the game to get that Shader?

I'm sure everyone has used their's, but I figure it can't hurt to ask. :)

Do it online. thats what I did. Had to wait 3 days for the code then immediately cancelled.
 
I haven't played the other classes, but are the other class specials as...delayed as Hunter? What I mean is, for Hunter you go into your special, and the character does an animation where they pump their arm in the air and get set on fire. IMO this is terrible, because it leaves you vulnerable. You pretty much have to use this special when you anticipate there will be someone in another room (so you use it before you enter the fight). That's problematic because it has a very short period that you can use it (you can extend with upgrades, but it's still not long).

Do other specials have the same kind of animation? Or is Warlock's special like a projectile?

I got three of those damn coins last night and had no idea what they were for, thanks :)
 
I'm not sure how people are upset about a lack of enemy variety. I've yet to make it past the moon, so I've only dealt with the Fallen and the Hive. Knowing there are at least two more enemy types to encounter, I'm perfectly satisfied with the variety.
 
This is my Titan atm. I'm doing a lot of Strikes to get light drops so I can get at least one more level tonight. :)

So during the Warmind mission, I reach a loading screen and the game always kicks me out. I'm done with this shit. I was really anticipating this game and, from what I've played, it plays really well, but Bungie really let me down here. The game's essentially unplayable for me.

Awesome. I'm level 12 Hunter, and haven't gotten a single blue drop yet. Are strikes the best way to get it? Or is it just completely random, and your chances of getting them are just doing a bunch of activities? I just started playing Crucible for the first time, and I'm finding that I'm getting a lot more green drops + leveling up much quicker than I was doing side missions and story missions.
 
Any of you have any luck with Bungie emblems popping up? I AM SO PISSED that I didn't get inner chamber yet.

I haven't gotten them either and am annoyed. Bungie account registered 3 plus years ago, played Halo 3, ODST, and Reach, so the emblem for the 4 games should exist with Destiny....

I think I fucked myself on the Alpha one as I had a second registered acct for that before I remembed and associated my accounts properly.

Strikes will net you class specific rares yeah. I have run the moon strike twice and gotten 2 rares each time.

I have had Engrem drops within moon missions, earth patrols, etc. Gotten most of my Engrems from missions actually.

Engrems are much better, as if you finish the moon strike at lv. 15 like I did, you will get gear for lv. 10 or whatever. It isn't level based. But your Engrem when decrypted seems to decrypt your level or above at random. Never had one come out to be a lower level item
 
I've played almost 20 hours. Level 21 Exo male.

Loving it. It's a new Halo combat area every moment. I don't understand the issues with epic stuff? Just wait.

Vehicles become a lot more heavy in use. I think the story is fine. Read the Grimoire stuff. You and your character are coming in blind.
 
Ok can anyone tell me how to get to Traveler's Walk in the Tower? Does that open up when iron banner starts? I need to go there to get the last dead ghost in the tower.

Also in the Tower, if you go up the stairs on the left there is a button prompt to "activate fan" when you use it nothing happens and it just shows back up. Anyone know what that is?
 
Well for us the cool stuff was all the great architecture, the little details Bungie has everywhere, the sheer amount of "oh my god this keeps going down even further??" stuff like that. The overall experience basically.
I absolutely adore the game for this, it feels incredible to explore the places in this game.

I feel you place way more emphasis on "how does this advance me in the game mechanics" than I do in this game. I've spent more time in patrol mode than any other mode so far. I'm lvl 15 when I could be way way way ahead. I don't care at all, if I played how most people did, the game would not be even close to as fun as it is now.

More like if I explore let me find some damn loot, or reward me in some other way. There isnt any reward for exploring

1. The Traveler's Walk opens for Iron Banner and I think a few other special events.

2. If somebody's standing on the fan in the middle of the postmaster/special order building, they'll fly into the air when you press the button.

on top of the postmaster building there is a fan. if anyone is on it when you activate, they get blown up into the air.

Uhhh... but you do get loot by exploring?

I got engrams, materials, and 2k glimmer last night in patrol mode, as well as leveling up my vanguard rank through bounties.
 
Aside from one random guy, I can't seem to find anyone on my PS4 friend list to play this with. How do I join this here GAF clan? Please forgive my lack of knowledge on this...
 
So it seems like we're at the point where we need a makeshift endgame guide for gearing.

Anyone got any useful knowledge to share about this? After learning about how motes of light work, I feel people don't want to waste their time upgrading weapons they may not want in the long run.

I feel that if you played something like Guild Wars 2 your head would explode.
 
I understand this but being able to talk to my 6 person team without any workarounds would be nice.

I'm confused what you mean by workarounds. If you're in a fireteam, there is voice chat. Plain and simple.

Whether your teammates choose to utilize it, is up to them. That's not the game's fault, such is the nature of today's consoles and party chat.

I played GW2 for one year from launch day. :)



Btw guys would be cool if you could add me and my friend to your PSN PS4 friendslists so we got some more guys to play with!
My PSN is Klyka1 and my friend's is Stiff_Ninja

Adding both of you. I am a lvl 7 Hunter right now because I haven't had a chance to play much. That will be changing very shortly so I'll catch up to you guys and we'll rock.
