Pretty much this.

Its starting to kill the experience for me. I have to play by myself because NO ONE accepts my fireteam requests and I havent gotten a single invite from anyone else to join theirs.

I feel like im playing a game on kids website where there is no communication allowed...
Dude
There are people to play with here
 
And I had no idea it worked this way. I figured matchmaking happened between orbit and landing and that was your group of players in all open instances.

Nope, the game is a very fluid experience when it comes to this.
When you select a mission, the game even starts you in the "overworld" first and only once you go to a specific place and pass a zone boundary will you enter a "darkness zone" which is your own little instance just for you where things can happen that can't happen outside, like doors opening and things exploding.

It's basically phasing. The entire game is a very very clever and completely seamless game of phasing and instancing.

Ever wonder why when you stay in say "The Steppes" and your friend goes to "The Mothyard" you can see his marker but not him? Cause he just entered a different instance to you. Once you enter it to, your friend will have a little "teleport in" animation and there he is.
 
I am really liking the way my Warlock looks right now. Shaders bring everything together really nicely.

That looks fucking amazing.
 
So far as I can tell, they've put considerable effort into making it so that you can sort of just head out and do what you feel like and have a shot at decent rewards, no matter what level- with the tougher stuff obviously weighted more but nothing ever becoming totally irrelevant.
This is a revelation :) Been asking about this stuff for seemingly forever so I had zero idea about any scaling or balancing (outside of scaling difficulty up for tackling missions with a full fire team as opposed to running solo). This is all great stuff.

I won't play it on my own and have to play it with my friend every time he's on in fear of missing out when he does the story missions or levels up, if I'm left behind it means I have to grind single player to catch up.

My only big complaint, I know the game has design flaws but it's really fun in co-op but I hate being forced into it and have to constantly keep up with my co-op partners.
 
So I just did the last Venus mission and FINALLY people accepted my requests and I did it with two other people. So much fun. A shame this was the first time, and might be the last time, it happens.

Is Mars the last area?
 
Ok guys my mind was just fucking blown with the stuff they put into this game. i need to know if anyone else has noticed this yet or if I am the first. If I am the first, which I doubt, then just wow at putting something like that in just as a cool touch:

When you arrive in the tower a few seconds after you get transmat in, you can SEE YOUR SHIP FLY BEHIND YOU INTO THE SHIP HANGAR. If someone stands in the hangar at that time, he can SEE YOUR SHIP LAND AND GET TAKEN DOWN AN ELEVATOR.

The same is true for anyone who shows up in the tower. Three people just teleported in? Three ships will fly in and land at the hangar, one a bit after the others cause there are only 2 elevators.

Just. My mind is just blown. Bungie put in a totally missable, not even really obvious way of showing you where the hell your ship goes after you land. And of course it is YOUR ship,the one you bought which ever one it is.

Anyone else blown away by that? I'd post a video but fuck linking my PSN to my Facebook.

Man, people are just looking for anything to praise now. If that blows your mind, just imagine if there was a story or mission variety. KAAAPPPEEEWWWWW!!!!
 
Do you think we will get any crossover armour or cosmetic stuff? Kinda in the same vain as the Dragon Age stuff in Mass Effect?

What kind of things would work?
 
Dude
There are people to play with here

Whats the best way to go about adding people to PSN? Do I have to manually type in every single person on the pad or can I do it from Playstation's website? I'm still waiting on a clan invite so my friend list is completely empty.
 
Crucible is really fun. It's just so barebones unfortunately.
Skirmish is an order of magnitude better than the other modes, though. The sense of teamwork and strategy is so much stronger. That can be achieved with a party of six in Control, but it's just harder to coordinate.

It could do with some extra game modes or something. Also what's up with Mercury being only available on 6 player game modes. That's a really cool setting but you can only play it in certain modes? That's really bugging me. I want some strike missions or 6v6 maps for Mercury at least, but I'd love a patrol map too. Guessing that's DLC for the future, but right now it feels like I'm having a carrot dangled in my face. It's the only thing genuinely bugging me so far.
 
I'm guessing I should stop asking for help from Bungie, Bungie Support, Destiny The Game, and Activision Support on Twitter. I've received no response from any of them on my Expansion Pass not being included with my PS4 Ghost Edition. The website I had to fill out an automated form on (which doesn't include the option of your code being missing as an option) hasn't responded either. The only person to even respond from Bungie/Activision has been Urk and he was the one who said to fill out the form.

Starting to feel like I'm just going to get the bad end of the deal on this. It's not my fault someone forgot to put the code in the box but I'm the one who paid for it with nothing to show.

Why not try and contact the retailer?
 
You say that like you could possibly need anything else.

I need some excitement in my life, Rats. Excitement comes from homemade explosions. Excitement comes from standing atop a lazy crag and whispering sweet nothings to our dear friend Mother Nature like she were a vixen dressed in silky blue, form-fitting attire. Excitement comes from piggybacking on the backs of Ogres, Knights, Hobgoblins, and various other ravenous cretins without a care in the world. Excitement comes from slitting a Warlock's throat and throwing the same blade right into the back of a Titan's skull.

Excitement comes from dancing. I should be dancing. You should be dancing. WE SHOULD BE DANCING.

EVERYONE DANCES FOREVER.

THERE IS NO END TO THE DANCE.
 
so Vanguard reputation is different from marks correct. what does reputation unlock exactly?

Reputation allows you to buy the items, marks are what you use to buy then.

It's not an Amazon issue. They weren't the ones who put the inserts in the game case. My only option with them is to return it for a refund which I'll be doing if I don't get a code.

Yeah, but they're pretty good with that. I'd at least see what a rep says about being partially compensated for the cost of the pass.
 
I've just finished the
sword mission.
wow! I keep thinking '30 seconds of fun'.

Had a blast playing with some gaffers too!

Does anyone know how to set it so you don't have to be friends only for a fireteam? I much prefer dropping in and out of others' games and would like others to do the same.
 
Where are my Titan Bro's at?
Boosh.

Love the Titan, even if his super seems like the quickest and most efficient way to commit suicide when fighting tougher enemies. Nothing more demoralizing than pulling a ground clearing move only to see, once all the dust has cleared, that all your enemies are still walking, and bringing the one-hit-sword of doom down upon your skull.

That has happened a few too many times and now, even though armored to the hilt, I'm a lot more hesitant to use it on anything besides groups of regular fodder. No go for anything that could potentially one-shot me.

Character screen > L1 to Roster, look above your name in the Fireteam space for a little options box, hit it, and select "public"
