Sure thing, once we've done the Strike I need to do some Crucible bounties and the final Mars mission.

You too? I forgot I still haven't done that mission yet either.

I think for the raids they could do some really cool stuff incorporating class specific abilities in order to beat bosses, like say for instance you need the Titan shield on boss a to protect everyone from an AoE blast at a certain point, or you need to get a hunter to stealth past a point to hit a switch and open a weakness up on boss b etc.. Could be some cool stuff coming if they know how to use the players abilities and encorporate it into fights, reminds me alot of raiding in WOW.

Not gunna happen as it would require you to bring specific classes and specs in 6 man group.

 

[Memnoch]

So I'm about to hit level 5, and is it me, or all all the missions on Earth in the same spot? The missions are really repetitive so far and it's getting to be a drag. Tell me it gets better...

[Poodlestrike]

Has this Agent of the Nine guy always been at the Tower selling Exotic gear, or am I just a crazy person for missing him before?

He only shows up on the weekends.

EDIT: Beaten like a giant eyeball.

can i get a couple people to do the weekly strike with?

Add me.

Can you farm it? I thought you only get the coins once

It gets better-ish. The environments are at least a bit more varied down the line (as far as I've played). I also found Earth to be the most boring visually.

 

[Oozer3993]

It's his first day on the job today, look out for him every weekend from now on.



I'll help you later on tonight, I hear it's fucking brutal.

Assassio

I'll be your third, if you need one.

 

[Poodlestrike]

I feel like I remember it too. But I mean that could be true, by having more Guardians representing you in the Crucible could make that faction more powerful and in turn, more pull in government decisions.

From the Ghost Fragment: New Monarchy Grimoire Card.

That list is so weird to me, since I'm nodding vigorously at points 1-6, and then they hit point 7 and I'm like ehhhhhhhh.

Really not too fond of any of the factions, tbh. Looking forward to seeing what Osiris and Seven Seraphs are about (if anything).

 

[Reg]

So, is all the additional content going to be pay DLC? Or will they throw in some free stuff at least? Right now I'm feeling a bit ripped off from the campaign.

 

[.GqueB.]

Quick question(s):

What's coop like? I read in the OT that your team maxes out at 3 but a friend of mine said 8. I saw a kotaku article that said 3 as well so where was the 8 coming from? Is my friend just drunk?

3 is max for story content, you can have a team of 6 for PvP.

Maybe up to 8 people in a public event?

I think so.

There's gonna be a strike, and there's some speculation they'll be adding in a handful of missions, but my money's on them limiting new content to the DLC.

 

[nicoga3000]

I tried PvP for the second time over lunch. I'm just terrible at it apparently. I could keep playing to improve, OR! I could ignore it.

I think I'll go with option two.

 

[everyday math]

Someone explain Bungie's loot system to me. I don't get it.

 

[CREMSteve]

Yo Ive reached the glimmers cap and I have no idea what to spend the money on...

There's a cap? What is it?

 

[f0nz0]

So... I bought the game on impulse.. I did not keep up with any info leading up to the release.. I really have no idea what's going on in the game. . Or how it's "supposed" to be played.. I fight some guys, they drop little glowing boxes, I pick up and head to the checkpoints.. In the meantime I see other presumably real players fighting these guys with me.. But once I get to the "darkness" they dissappear, I'm at level 6 right now and just started the moon, anyone wanna cliff note how to play this game for me. It's fun shooting the fallen baddies though

 

[The Librarian]

Absolutely

Actually, no, I've changed my mind.

Gonna cancel my pre-order

 

[Poodlestrike]

What aspect? If you're asking about the drop rates being so damn poor, I've got nothing, but if it's the whole "legendaries for other classes" thing I've got a decent guess.

Well that's encouraging. I'm really trying to like this game with all the hype as it being the best selling game of all time and all, but man, the Earth area is so small and repetitive. I mean I gotta stay playing with all these reviewers saying it's so revolutionary. Maybe I'm just not seeing it yet.

 

[malfcn]

Wow.
Salvage, they got no points.
First guy on our team went 11-0
I went 4-0
Our third guy went 3-1.

Wtf.

Man, I had two legendary drops on Mars. As I'm going for them, my neighborhood gets a random power outage..... :/

Yeah, they want to do everything they can to help, but still want a monarchy(ha) in the end.

The other two are still too unknown at this point. And yes, wondering when Osiris and Seven Seraphs will show.

 

[Raide]

Yup damn hooked.

Jumped in Devils Lair and got nuked. Ended up on my own and then another player jumped in. Damn we battled. Proper awesome hectic fun. Bungie made this game. Waves of monsters, then an epic battled with a crazy tank of doom. Hiding behind boxes, enemies sneaking around us trying to kill us off.

Yup. Yup. Sign me the hell up.

Hi Dax! Your great withdrawal thread kept me busy on vacation. Thanks! Just became able to post yesterday! I'm still getting ads for your dress daily. Why did I ever look at a dress in the withdrawal thread?

does anyone know if its possible to transfer save data/character to another psn account?

[True Underdog]

Have you checked to see if they showed up at the postmaster? If I recall correctly, loot you miss ends up at the postmaster. Maybe it will count your disconnect as a quit but still give you your items. It's a long shot but worth looking into.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Unless I'm missing something story wise ( current @ mars ), Jupiter / Saturn must be the locations of the expansions?

They both have sections for Grimoire cards.

Lore wise, why in the blue hell would you try and terraform Jupiter and not just one of the moons?

 

[Cuphead]

Gee thanks for putting me in a Control match were my team has no chance of winning,

This has been a problem a few matches for me, I've never been a fan of drop in multiplayer.

 

[DevilTakoyaki]

So i finally got a legendary drop, and guess what... it's a Warlock item. What the fuck?! I have no interest in playing that class at all. All drops up until now have been Titan drops, but this one just had to be some random bullshit that I didn't even know about the game. Talk about major anti-climax.

I know how you feel bro...

 

[Afrocious]

Just do any Earth mission. Or do patrol and go to the Rocketyards. There's a place in a corner where there's two small rooms on either side. Sometimes a group of vagrants spawn there. Two will be yellow. Just keep returning to that spot.

We need 1 more four the heroic stroke on psn. Name is skykiller1000 if anyone wants to help.

 

[Deku Tree]

PvP seems horribly unbalanced. Why can't they have a PvP where everyone is at the same level and has the same weapons? Yeah I don't have the time to play constantly, and so I always end up being many levels below my opponents in PvP and it makes me feel like I'm the bullet sponge.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Both

Or not getting any loot after mission.

So, time for TALES FROM MY ASS:

Lack of loot after the mission and overall drop rate is because (like most stuff in Destiny), the game's lack of focus is holding it back. If they jacked up the drop rate too much, the lack of overall diversity would be more apparent.

As for legendaries, I think their reasoning is that they're supposed to be so rare that you'd want to use all 3 character slots to harvest and share them. The problem with that is that I cannot imagine many people are planning on grinding up another class of character from level 1; they're just too similar, and there's not enough content to make the experience worthwhile.

 

[Afrocious]

I know how you feel bro...
