So far I'm enjoying myself, but I'm getting a real Mass-Effect-1 vibe to all of this. Cool universe and art design, lots of potential, but clunky mechanics.
I feel bad saying this two days after release, but I really look forward to the sequel--there are way too many generic MMO trappings ("kill 100 x, collect 50 y") that don't seem like they'll keep me coming back month after month.
If I get a legendary item in Diablo III, I just hold X to reveal what it is. Why do I have to go to orbit, return to the tower after a long load screen, and walk up to a guy in order to find out what my new encrypted loot is? Why does the game force a five-minute process when it could be done in seconds?
At least let me go straight to the tower from the field. I don't know why this wasn't brought up during QA.

It has nothing to do with your progress. It's for an event.
I've read this multiple times now. Really awful if the best way to get loot past Level 20 is playing a mode I have zero interest in.
Damn good list there.

Seriously? It's random so it's not like not trying is a guarantee for anything. And what fun is not trying? Or getting worked over constantly? I don't think anyone makes a choice to do that.
No. It looks like any other gun from a modern shooter
My audio was working just fine....
Just noticed I have these moto earbuds with 3 rings, guess I'll give them a try...Moobabe said:
No heroic anything is (daily either), I think. The reasoning appears to be that these are legit, apparently the modifiers can be nasty, and you'll want to make sure you're all on voice and ready for it, etc.
The more I see this the more I'm thinking it might be worth trying to shout myself hoarse about www.gw2lfg.com. Need to make sure it works in practice, but using a site like that where you can specify what you want a team for might be a good band-aid until some further grouping options exist in-game.

The current system is pretty silly. But I think you should always at least have a small chance to get gear. Maybe something like this for a 6v6 match:
Winning team:
1st place: 100% chance to get something, maybe 33% chance to get legendary.
2nd: 75%, 20% chance to get legendary
3rd: 50%, 10% chance to get legendary
4th: 50%, no chance for legendary
5th: 50%, no chance for legendary
6th: 50%, no chance for legendary
Losing team:
1st: 75% chance to get something, no chance for legendary
2nd: 50% chance to get something, no chance for legendary
3rd: 25% chance to get something, no chance for legendary
4th: 10% chance to get something, no chance for legendary
5th: 10% chance to get something, no chance for legendary
6th: 10% chance to get something, no chance for legendary
Sort of random number assignments obviously, but a system like this would be so much more satisfying.
Completely agree.
Lots of little things like that that could make this game so much better. I wouldn't mind it if the loading times weren't so atrocious.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Does the game put you with piece of shit scrubs on purpose? This is the sixth time in a row that I've lost and I've always been #1 in my team with #2 being far below me. What the fucking fuck.
My titan after day 2. pretty happy with how i've progressed considering i've got college taking up my life. thank you instructors for not assigning homework on tuesday and wednesday <3
2 classes left today and so far nothing to do tonight so my fingers are crossed. anyone on PS4 wanna join up for a few strikes in the strike playlist tonight? Msg me on PSN (same username as here)
I like this, everyone has a chance at something, people who do well have a higher chance to get better gear. Also the bonus of legendary gear for winning team will be an incentive to PTFO in objective playlists. well done

Wait, you can hear something when you're close to a loot cache?
(I love the way Ghost sez "Loot Cache" )
(I love the way Ghost sez "Loot Cache" )
I agree with your earlier explore comments, Klyka, and look forward to playing with you once I get my PS guy up to speed (binge rushed 20 on XB1 first day out and then had issues in rl yesterday keep me away
).That being said, this is off. Other games have matchmaking for "heroic" instances. One had 10 million+ players at one point. There's no reason why it shouldn't exist.
The only thing I can think of is Bungie is scared that people won't understand the WoW / EQ style "roles" and will release the matchmaking for Heroic later. That they don't want posters like the dude above getting pissed and quitting the game because the raid / strike was hard.
I am HOPING it's like that, but then the issue is their communication skills are reprehensible.
Tonight's fine with me.
I'm loving the game for sure. My only gripe is that I played the beta too much and due to work, I have yet to move beyond the beta content yet. I'm ready to leave Earth and go elsewhere, I just want to complete everything on Earth before I move on. Also, I'm trying to "wait" for my buddy so that we can play thru on co-op, but his internet connection has been giving him the boot a lot. Makes it grueling to make progress when your fireteam member keeps getting dropped. We tried doing the strike on earth twice last night, and both times I end up by myself with a random player because my buddy lost connection (he lives in the sticks).
Anyone on PS4 up for being our third for the earth strike mission around 7pm EST tonight? (My buddy dies a good bit/ I revive a good bit)

Team up the destiny gaf. Add me if you're on ps4: quempfq
The Crucible is highly dependent on momentum. Usually the team that gets away with an early lead is going to win.
I am bad and I like it the way it is.
Thank you! I'll give it a shot.
Thank you. Much to ponder.
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 wish that there was some in-game clan support. If you could sent out a Looking for Fireteam request to everyone on your clan somehow it would be wonderful. For the things that grouping entail in this game, I haven't seen anything that would work better than www.gw2lfg.com yet

Yup. That part of the tower opens up during the Iron Banner event. At least that's how it worked in the beta.

If anyone is on the Xbox One and wants to jump on and help me with some missions, I would be eternally grateful, as I'm just beginning to play and don't fully understand the game yet. Noob here, Just got to Moon, around Level 6.

Anyone on GAF around level 8 and want to take on the moon? My usual co-op bud for borderlands and destiny is out of the country for the next few weeks and it has been a slog doing the missions singleplayer!
Has Bungle announced when the first Iron Banner event is? or will they drop it on us like in the Alpha/Beta

I disagree with that, actually. I mean, momentum is definitely important, but you can swing a 4 or 500 point run in seconds if you're lucky and that can swing a whole game. I've seen it happen.
It's what keeps me with Control after really hating it at first for those exact reasons, lead team just running away with things.
Also, with every day, matchmaking is getting more accurate, so I think that's also making it better for me as solidly mid-tier player.
this is exactly why i think they do it.
going into WoW/normal MMo you KNOW what you are in for. You understand the roles automatically, everyone knows tank/heal/dps stuff like that.
But here in Destiny? Which role is which? Who does what? It's not very natural, it's all very open and freeflow and let's be honest: most people who bought and are playing this game do not have the mindset to come up with this stuff. They wanted a shooter and they play it like a shooter. If you throw completely new crazy stuff at them that just punches their teeth in, a lot of them will go "lol bungie is shit i completed halo on legendary what a shit" and leave.
I do believe we get heroic matchmaking down the line.
id love to, what time are you talking?

Kind of depends on the game mode I think. A mode like Rumble or the TDM mode will play out like most FPS shooters DM and TDM modes in that whoever takes the lead is usually just the better shooters.
However, Control is very much about what it's name implies. A good team that recognizes how to hold two points rather than running all over the map flipping back and forth can make each of their kills more valuable and thus overcome an early lead.
Am I missing something, or are clans just for show in-game? I thought you would be able to see all online Class members in the Roster tab, but it sure doesn't look like you can interact with the clan in anyway from within the game. Lack of any matchmaking or (LFG tagging) for both Daily and Weekly Strikes makes completing either pretty much impossible for me.
I do feel like there should be some sort of weighting to rewards. I just went 4 games in a row in first place and didn't get a single drop.
I like how there is an element of randomness to it so everyone gets a piece of pie at some point but I still think it should be a bit rewarding for those who do well.

Aaaaand my Internet goes down as I'm about to kill a boss. Great.
I didn't get my first replacement until 16 and it is absolutely atrocious.Level 12 hunter and still stuck with the default cloak
There are two I want in the tower, for outrageous prices... I must have them. ;_;
That's what I did in WoW for years and. It went fine more often than not, so I don't see why not.
They are indeed just for show.
They did nerf them. I feel they are not overpowered but since most maps bring you very close to your enemies, especially control maps, the close combat weapons like ARs/shotguns/pulse rifles are just better to use there.

They actually INCREASED the damage of those. Yeah. Not kidding.
wait never mind I read your post wrong. Here is excerpt from patch notes

If my roommate starts playing and I'm at level 20 or so, what will come of me helping him out? Any experience / beneficial loot, or will it be a purely charitable operation on my part?

I use the scout exclusively and see it a good bit in mp, especially after they nerfed the auto. Fusion rifles haven't been super rare either. I've yet to see a single hand cannon though
I'll vouch for www.gw2lfg.com. It was amazing in GW2 before they had the in-game tool and I used it a ton of times. Last night I really wanted to get the Devils Lair Strike done but didn't want to do it with a PUG. I fired off a few fire team invites to my friend list asking if they wanted to do Devil Lair and got no responses. With using that website I would have just specified what I wanted to do and waited for the friend invites to come in.
I didn't get a cloak for ages either. There's 2 or 3 in the tower I like but it's a shame the previews are quite close up.. it'd be nice to get a full preview with character rotation.
Also, Hawk, get an Xbox One so we can do strikes together
You get XP which eventually converts to a Mote of Light, which you can use to buy super rare loot.
