Random Cabal dropped a blue engram while in freeroam.
I'm only 4 hours in, but I love it too. I can see myself playing it for a while, for sure.

HD version should be up soon and sorry about my voice. My throat has been pretty soar today.

I'm quite enjoying exploring and just listening for chests/crafting gear.. the audio queues are very welcome (and come through mean on the Astro A50s I got specially for Destiny) 
This is quite wrong, regular headsets with two rings work fine, just no mic of course.
The story is so bad and I am dying for someone to make a spoiler Lore thread to really discuss it.
The Darkness' armies surround us....
Wtf, what armies, all I see is Fallen trying to survive (I'm growing fond of them) and the rest all seem to hate each other.

Yep. I think there's a definite synergy between the different classes' supers that is not apparent if you're playing solo.
Hrrrm... rings. Bleh. Well, thanks for the info. Do you have a specific recommendation? Iiiiii had no idea chests even made a noise X'(
Not to be dismissive of that, but despite a charming URL that site has like 1/4 the functionality and 0% of the utility.
I don't think saying it "pretty much does what www.gw2lfg.com does" is anywhere close to accurate. You can list your class, but... you could put your class in the comments field anyway if you felt the need. This site makes you register, only shows profiles, and only allows you to list a time zone rather than a specific time... Most importantly that site doesn't have anywhere for you to say what you want a fireteam for.
Unless I'm missing something, I see literally no way to use it in the same way you'd use gw2lfg.I don't think it's a 100% drop rate.
Nope. I did it with one other friend. You also don't auto respawn from death, someone has to revive you.
Have fun!
Because not everyone can be top three and that really would not be fair?

If the mic isn't working, then you're not getting the full use of the headset. So "not working" is correct when viewed in the context of what the question was. Which, if you look, was about the audio in his headset working just fine but the mic not working.
Edit: Answered the next part in a new reply for visibility.

As a bad player, please Bungie. Don't do this.

No. You want to encourage everyone, not just the top dogs, to play. There's no way a lot of folks are going to play if the only thing they'll get out of it is their head stomped in. There needs to be a carrot.

I got the Knight chest armor that does 224 defense at lv15 while everything else at that level is 130ish.
wish I had the legs as well.

Well that's dumb. Guess I'll do it again. :/
I don't mind that - but aren't ALL the other strikes matchmade? If so why would they make the weekly one not?

A mix of the two ideas might be nice. Maybe have the top player a guaranteed drop and two or three random, or something.
Bastards. Red card!
Probably because some manager had the bright idea and couldn't be argued out of it. Seriously.
I love this game and it's a lot of fun but I can't help but feel they bit off more than they could chew and due to time constraints had to cut off alot of the game.
For example in the tower there is that arch entrance that has a vertical strips of wall blocking it off but it looks like they had built up the world behind it, I feel like the tower was going to have more areas to it but they had to cut it out for some reason and blocked it off.
The first time you get your ship on earth you fly past some interesting set pieces showing off different locals but in the end old Russia is the only place that you can go on earth, I think I remember even seeing pre release art showing off other earth locations.
I also feel like they knee capped themselves with the level cap and making the talent tree a little short, seems like the plan might have been a higher level cap and then realizing they couldn't have all the content they wanted at launch they just capped it at 20 and gave you abilities faster as you level up.
The game is great but I feel like they were hoping to achieve so much more and when reality set it and time constraints etc they closed the package up as is and shipped it out the door. Hope the expansions expand more on the last city of Earth and provide us with more locals to explore.

Yeah, even as a bad player I agree. There should/could be some kind of tie to medals/awards. MVP? Top leader? Get the best loot.
Although then they'll just keep winning.
Hmmm.
Scratch that.
I'm down if you'll be on tonight.
Sry I've got no excise besides I'm grumpy today.
I've been underwhelmed with the game like many others but still having a decent amount of fun trying out the different classes and weapon types.
However I just did the Moon Strike mission for the first time and it left a real sour taste in my mouth. It just wasn't fun... at all. It went on far too long and the seemingly endless Knights and Wizards left me really lamenting the serious lack of AoE options available to your character. I got paired with two good players who were constantly reviving and we beat it first try, but the sense of accomplishment was replaced by a 'thank fuck that's over'.
Apparently I can get £35 for it at CEX so it's going back tomorrow, maybe I'll pick it up down the line if they fix the matchmaking.

Because the weekly strike is not a normal strike,it's a heroic one. It's supposed to be hard and you are supposed to do it with a properly set up group.
I mean come on man it's a once a week thing. do you really want to have a weekly thing in the game you just PUG with some noobs and get a reward out of it each tuesday?

P. sure that opens up for like Iron Banner type stuff...
Level 12 hunter and still stuck with the default cloak
Try the Cryptarch.
I don't get the reasoning either. It's the same for the daily story mission challenge and eventually the Raids as well.
That area is called "Traveller's Walk" and opens up once the Iron Banner pens up. It is not a permanently open place apparently, only opening for events.
Why can't I at least be given the option? If me and 2 randoms are good enough to complete it then why not?
I'm still not sure what to make of the multiplayer in this game.. I'm currently playing Rumble and consistabtly coming first with a KD of 2 ish. Most maps are tiny and cramped so shotgun is lolpwn and you almosylt always snag a kill even in a tight spot, as for the maps that are open, it feels the complete opposite and you spend half the game searching for folks.
A lot of kills feel cheap and it's much like Call of Duty in the sense that often it boils down to who spots who first.

What's there to encourage someone from actually trying if their chances of getting loot is the same whether they do well or stand afk the entire time though?
Also, is there any incentive for winning at all? Just did my daily ffa pvp mission, didn't win, still got those pvp marks and shit. Is it the same in team matches or if it's not the daily mission?

If you play Control then it's fairly obvious where to find your opponents.
That part of the tower opens up when the Iron Banner tournament is active for PVP/Crucible matches, happened in the beta.
But I don't disagree with your overall point.
Well look at that. Some guys on Reddit made a Change.org petition for optional proximity chat.

Dunno if this will do any good, though.

Oh so I just haven't gotten that far in the game yet, It seemed to me like it was obvious they had put effort it behind that will at was a shame it was blocked off
Hrrrm... rings. Bleh. Well, thanks for the info. Do you have a specific recommendation? Iiiiii had no idea chests even made a noise X'(
Not to be dismissive of that, but despite a charming URL that site has like 1/4 the functionality and 0% of the utility.
Most importantly that site doesn't have anywhere for you to say what you want a fireteam for.
I don't know anything about these rings but my Sensheiser Momentum on hear headphones work as a mic and headphones fine. But you have to enable it on PS4.
Under system settings, go to devices (might be named audio devices, I don't remember). Go to the microphone settings. Here I was able to speak into the mic and have it recognized. Once I did that, it was recognized elsewhere. My mic was not recognized until I went into this setting.
You can also go go adjust devices from the PS button and change your sound output to all audio or chat only.

I personally have used Turtle Beach headsets and like their comfort and sound. I don't have experience with their less expensive sets though (the cheapest I've owned was $80). A lot of people also like Astro brand headsets but again, I haven't tried any. Other than that, a lot of people like the Playstation official "Gold" and "Elite" headsets.

Well I never really bothered with actually using gw2lfg personally. I had the luck of being in the awesome GW2 Gaf guild, so parties were always just a guild message away.
I simply meant that it's a third party site meant to be used for finding fireteams in the same way that gw2lfg does.The loot is random. Sometimes you'll get the PS exclusive stuff, sometimes you won't.

I tried out a shotgun for a couple games, and was amazed at how OP it was in some corridors but I didn't find it that fun to use. Fusion Rifles on the other hand...
