It sounds like the same logic as not having matchmaking for raid(s). I guess they are making it so hard that they feel you can't go in random. Not sure I like that, but I get the logic. Problem is it feels inconsistent.

Still having a ton of fun with it, and as I had the week off, have a level 20 Hunter (just now starting to get bladedancer stuff), and early on, level 3 Titan, level 2 Warlock.
A few random gripes....
- Over half the time I get thrown into a public 3 man fireteam for strike missions, I'm running probably over 50% of one guy either dropping or being inactive. On the Earth strike mission, two guys were in a corner not moving, so I moved them by pushing them. They shot at me and went back into their corner. :/
- Made on attempt at a raid and failed. The last boss was dumb, and after what seemed like 30-45 minutes of everyone's supers, grenades, and heavy weapons, we got him halfway through, and then it amped up even more. We got wiped, both dropped. The fight, and all the big time fights leading to it, were not fun. It felt like vehicles were the only thing that could even blip the tiniest sliver of damage away from even common enemies, and unless you had a special ready, all 3 firing on one normal dude with their primary weapons was like 3 children throwing pillowy marshmallows at them. In the end, it wasn't fun, and while I know great loot and other stuff are in these raids, I dont really find myself wanting to do them again.
- Am I crazy or in the beta, if you saw someone in the tower, couldnt they join your fireteam like.... really easily? I've only gotten into someone's fireteam once, and it had to go through an invite at the dashboard, and even through we were standing next to each other, it had to reload me into the game. Seems cumbersome, and not what I remember from the beta (or alpha).
- I think the game would benefit from having different spawn points for missions on the same planet. Seems small and silly, but would slightly help relieve the sense of repetitiveness IMO.
- More of a whine than a bitch (is there a difference?), but Ive hit two random public events so far, and despite moments earlier there were 5-6 people around, when these hit, everyone scatters.

The only thing is a helping hand, but it might make the experience too easy for him since you'll pack a punch. Maybe reroll a character to level with him?

They didn't do anything to autos specifically, just all primary rifles

You actually made an attempt at a strike.
The only raid so far in the game opens up on the 16th.
I don't consider it "loot based". It's not Diablo. But I get a lot of accessory and gun drops, IMO. Only like 7 engrams though in 10 hours.
I can't find it in the OP, what's the current system?
You could level up another character, or your other skill tree?
Bungie is the one missing something
Yeah, it's just for your tag so far :/
Damn son! What mode?
Scout rifles, pulse rifles, and hand cannons are definitely viable.
You may not be kidding but you're lying
Hmmm. Guys, do you think it would be appropriate to make a thread for this...? I really think we could get a lot of utility out of it. The key is that you can just list exactly what you want the group for, like the multiplayer board in Monster Hunter or PSO or whatever. It's a great tool, just need to get some awareness going. Let me know if anyone has any questions about it, I'm not affiliated with the site but used it maybe 1000 times back in the day.

A level 20 helping a level 5 can get experience, or is there a point where mobs are so many levels below you they get "grayed out"?
Also, can someone refresh me on the notion of the soft cap? My understanding is once I hit level 20, my character stats can continue to level up, but my character profile will never display a level higher than 20. Is this correct?

Not sure actually, but it seems a lot more random than what I posted.
Maybe it's just luck, but I've been quite a few blue drops just playing Crucible. Got 2 within 3 hours of playing. Still haven't gotten a blue drop for armor though, which I really want. The two drops I got were for a handcannon and a special heavy weapon (which while cool, not what I use regularly).

No thanks. There's already going to be a problem with stacked teams stomping pubs. This will only make it worse. Also 33% chance of a legendary? May as well call it common loot.

Okay, I'm stumped. I really want to play but the game drops me after little more than a minute now. I'm on a home connection, ports are open, NAT is open, and I'm still getting centipede errors. Is there anything I'm missing, or does the game simply not work?

7 out of 14(maybe) matches, FIRST LIGHT

Play on hard mode- you'll get relevant XP no matter what basically (though of course make sure to have some bounties on).You also still get XP for mission completion.
You can also get engram drops (loot) which will be at your level. I'd say it's totally worthwhile.
Sort of the reverse. At level 20, your stats can't go up any more. However you can get gear with a "Light" stat. Equipping enough of this will raise your display level beyond 20. The min needed for the raid is 26.
I am of the opinion that the Crucible CAN be as fun as Halo when you're playing on a decent team that is coherent and knows what they're doing. If you're not, there are elements designed in the game that will just accelerate how fast you get frustrated which kills all fun factor, such as supers and heavy weapons.
I definitely think if Bungie can wring out as much of the PS4's power as possible to achieve a 16-18 player BTB style playlist with large maps and vehicles, they should at least try and do it. Destiny could really benefit from that style of PvP.

PSN? Or are you the guy that just sent me a friend request? I'll add you, either way.

No wait! Make a new character if you want to, but they undersold the ability to help out lowbies! Play on Hard and you WILL get decent rewards/XP!
I checked it out. Endorsed. Can someone give me the all-clear to make a thread on this? It will really help out the experience of the average player.
Yes@PSN=Wurdfurd. No to just adding you, not near my ps4 right now haha

It's disappointing when randoms don't accept fireteam invites - especially when we spend the bulk of the mission moving around together anyway!
The end parts are where I need a buddy!

Can't figure out if levelling is slower/faster. I'm already level 7 and I don't feel like I've played as much as I did during the beta. I thought it was supposed to take longer but I feel like it's going quicker.
Also finding it more of a challenge. Enemies feel more powerful. Tried fighting this huge enemy in Old russia (public event?) can't remember it's name. I remember killing it a few times during the beta but can't kill it at the moment.
Still enjoying it though! Just been playing myself.

A 33% chance of getting a Legendary is way too high. It should be closer to 5% just for the guy who finishes first on the winning team.

I'm surprised more people aren't using HCs in PVP, they're so freakin' powerful and awesome. Don't tell people that, though
Let 'em keep using their ARs

Should have been expected. I wasn't overly confident in the PvP of Destiny considering Bungie's last effort was Reach. Its better than Reach, but not groundbreaking. I can have fun in it though, which is what counts really.

Don't worry! You sold me pretty well on my other options.
Yep. That's the main reason the PvP is so awful in this game. So much scrubby bullshit that makes it easy for even a blind person to get a 5 kill streak. Also the maps were probably designed by that same blind person. Just awful.
