Bungie be like "we didn't implement trading because we want you to earn your own stuff". Proceeds to giving everyone legendary items for a class other than their own. Thanks Bungie.

Going to pick this up after work, is it worth for playing with myself? From what I read its not looking that way, but then again i loved borderlands 1/2 solo

If you loved Borderlands you might have some fun laying solo but playing with buddies enhances the experience tenfold.
 
I don't know what is with this game but it is empty. When I played the beta their were people every where. Now when I get the very rare public event I am completely alone and fail them. due to no help. Very disappointing.

Nailed it. the game shines with a fireteam. but I actually find this more enjoyable solo than Borderlands solo, so it's possible it still might be worth it. You should be able to find people here to play with though!

I'll definitely be using it when I get on tonight. Will be looking to hit the Earth strike primarily.

I have an active bounty for that! If I'm on when you're on I hope we can team up (PS4?)
 
So this game needs a story mode matchmaking and also more public events. Also options to change sound and music and voice would be nice..played with my friend last night with headphones and whenever he spoke I could barely hear him over the *truly Incredible* sounds and music of the game

The stock is the same for everyone. The only difference in stock that players would see will depend on level range. A Level 8 player will see 2 level 6 items, 2 level 8 items and 2 level 10 items. Then at level 10 it shifts by 2 items so they'll now see 2 level 8 items, 2 level 10 items, and 2 level 12 items.

The stock also completely refreshes every 3 hours or so.

Ohhhh!!!

Well that makes much more sense.

Weird. Opposite for me I guess. I see people basically everywhere, but I've only encountered 1 public event total (it was easily resolved by the 3 present).

IMO smallest and easiest (?) tweak to make to improve the game right now would be like quintuple the rate of public events. Who cares if they fail more than half the time, just the idea that stuff is going on out in the world is compelling and they should capitalize on it.

Best way to address that is to use the PS4 party chat instead which lets you adjust the levels.

Ever play diablo? They're unidentified items. The cryptarch right near the tower entrance can make 'em be known for you.
 
Using the right damage type in the heroic strike missions is really important. Just did some with a friend. We were having a hard time with bullet sponge enemies, and then we tried different damage types and once we got the right one, it would do massive damage.

I know it may have been asked already but where and what do I use Materials for?
Click to expand...

Upgrading Legendary gear. Hold on to them, trust me.
 
Running into a story mission following some random dudes and blowing stuff up along the way is hella fun.

Having those dudes then fade out and disappear once you reach a mission area because everything is instanced is not. Most people don't accept invites, or are running a full team constantly.

The social aspect is dead for me, and I don't understand why they'd design it like this.
 
So Dust Palace. We manage to kill 2 of the 3 bosses there. What happened to the third one? Well, a rocket "accidentally" pushed him over the edge. We stood there laughing. He had nearly half of his HP depleted when it happened.

You think that's bad? I hopped into a lvl 20 strike playlist last night and got stuck fighting Valus Ta'aurc. After wailing on him til he died, the game glitched out, dropped one of the members' connections, and then the asshole RESPAWNED. We had to fight him twice in a row. Took nearly 45 minutes or longer.
 
So I'm doing the weekly heroic and it puts me in solo? It won't fill up my fireteam? This is the first online console game I've played and don't have a list of friends.

😢
 
A silly question. Do you guys get psn msg notification when playing destiny? I dont believe I get any, only time I know is when my app makes a sound..

This, so much. I've done 1 public event on the moon and it was fucking awesome, even though we didn't complete it.

Wait - you guys didn't get credit for the kill? And/or didn't get loot?

There's no matchmaking for the weekly heroic (and be warned, it's supposed to be quite tough).

Try www.destinylfg.net though it's still in the early phases of adoption.

What is the fastest way to level up?
Click to expand...
I honestly wouldn't worry about it, you level up from pretty much everything. But the answer is PvP.
 
I do like that you actually can use stealth a bit to get behind the enemies. If you drop out of sight behind cover and then circle around they'll continue firing and facing towards your last known location. I don't feel like I've seen a non-stealth shooter do that before. I'm not sure how useful it actually is, but it was nice to see.

First legendary engram and its a fucking warlock item... fuck this game.
Click to expand...

My first legendary engram was 3 Ascendant Shards. The first two legendaries I got from rare engrams were titan gear and I'm a hunter =/

Second legendary engram was a proper legendary though, helped me push my level up some more. I'm at 23 atm.

The Moon strike shouldn't really count as a strike IMO. If anything they should just add another 3-man mission type for arena/trial fights like it, one per planet along with strikes.

For ammo/damage types, is there a list of what is weak to what?
 
When PVP says that leveling advantage is disabled, what exactly is implied?

I figured these were some:

Weapons are scaled back
Weapon bonuses are disabled
Class bonuses are disabled/truncated

Is HP normalized between classes?

Music to my ears.

Apparently this is what we know
-Arc does bonus vs blue shields.
-Void vs purple shields
-Fire vs Orange shields.
​
 
So what exactly is Radiance useful for in the Sunsinger Warlock subclass? Seems to me Nova Bomb is better, but maybe I'm not understanding what happens when using Radiance. Any Sunsingers out there feel like filling me in?
 
I'm playing Crucible on XB1 if anyone wants to join. Gamertag = kittens dx.

It goes even further than that though. Those heroic strikes have specific parameters that will reduce damage done by some types of weapons entirely, so it's beneficial to have at least one of each type of weapon for your slots if possible.
 
I really think there should raise the weekly Crucible marks cap a bit, since they change it from 1 for a loss/2 win in the beta to 2 loss/3 win. Just saying :p
 
Godan said:
Will do thanks.

For instance, my one piece of legendary requires 16 Spinmetal for one upgrade, and there are 3 upgrades on that one piece which need 16 Spinmetal.

The materials you get from breaking down armor is also used for armor upgrades. If I could go back and level all over again, I would probably not upgrade a singe piece of armor or weapon until I'm level 20. It's just a waste of materials and money. You upgrade it and then 10 minutes later you get a new piece of gear and that upgrade is thrown out. Upgrading Rare and Legendary gear gets much more expensive, it's better just to save until you are actually going to use the upgrades for a while and not throw them out.

I believe it's that weapon damage is indeed scaled back and HP is normalized so your defense stat doesn't matter. Weapon and class bonuses ARE enabled, so higher level characters with better weapons and all their abilities have a big advantage.

The Iron Banner event has level advantages enabled, though. In that every stat matters. It's crazy.
 
So I've finally level capped, and have been spamming Crucible all day for loot/marks.

Why am I getting LV 18 blues when I'm 20? :( Admittedly they have light on them, so I'm a bit closer to 21, but the primary stats on them are sidegrades at best.

Is RNG just biting me in the butt or is there something I'm missing?
