This game pulls off the interconnectedness that previous games claimed they would do and didn't deliver, but yeah, sometimes stuff like this happens as a result.

On a related note. I'm still just noodling around on my own, but if I see another player in the game world, is there a way to join their fire team and keep going as a team? I thought I'd read you couldn't actually do that.
 
My friend is an idiot and he finally did it...

This happened to a public event I was in. Trying to clear out these excavator (?) dudes, I was picking them off one at a time. Then a high level titan rolls in, does this big from the skies diving area smash, and clears the entire place out in a moment.

I stood there wearing short shorts and just watched the hulk bound off into the distance.

I was guilty of that today. I leveled almost solely in the Crucible and am way behind on story. I was doing the second or third Moon mission as a level 21+. And I encountered a few randoms running the same missions and basically vaporized all enemies by merely looking at them.

I suspect the other players thought I was screwing with them, but I REALLY have to get these story things done, lol.
 
Is anyone else having problems with playing Destiny online? It says I need Playstation Plus yet I already have an account on the system that has an active Plus subscription. Have they changed it so each account needs a subscription to play online now?
 
At what point is it safe to go exploring? Or, in a more general sense, how much exploration is there to be done? I went down a random bunker once on Earth and a dude with an ominous "???" level met me about 10 steps in, shot almost a full clip into his face without knocking any appreciable part of his health bar down.

18+. Those ???'s are 18-20. Venus has some rare 26 ones.

It's not very well explained.

R3 when you see them, then "OPTIONS" and "invite to fireteam" or "join fireteam". Unfortunately, the default is that players have "public invites OK" disabled and it's not properly explained how you reverse this.

You can also just go to "roster" and see who else is in that "instance" and do the same thing. Again, not properly explained.

Click the right stick to select him- hit options for a little menu. If his fireteam is Public, you can just join it. If it's not, you can invite him to yours.

Firesteam status resetting from Public to Friends Only on each boot is my #1 complaint about this game for the moment.

Right stick click to focus on them -> interact (start button) -> invite to fireteam (because everyone defaults to invite only)
 
Bungie.net quirk:

Sign in via PSN -> Can view both PSN and Xbox Live friends via Bungie.net (Live friends act like I'm on a 360, so a bunch of people that just say "Xbox One"

Sign in via Live -> Can only view Xbox Live friends. PSN friends list is blank.


This happening to anyone else?

Thanks, appreciated. There's a lot of basic stuff I don't understand yet, and part of it is I'm not really putting in the time yet, and part is the game doesn't explain it well.

It occurs to me I don't even know how to do a strike if I wanted to. :lol (I don't, yet.)
 
Looking to expand my FL. Playing on ps4.

Level 21 Titan. Just got my first legendary it from a blue engram, a Strange Suspect pulse rifle (I'd just switched to the weapon type too, it's one of my favourites so for incredibly lucky).

Up for all content. I'm pretty decent at pvp when I'm focused. Especially love Skirmish (hope they add this as a permanent mode).

Psn: astropoff

Will be on all evening and all day tomorrow.
 
2 legendary engrams lead to blue weapons that are worse than what i already have
1 legendary from ranking up cryptarch leads to a warlock bond...for my hunter

RNG loot is not even funny anymore. it's just irritating.
 
One of the things that I think Bungie needs to improve for either this game or the next is have an in-game guide/grimoire cards.

I have an ancient shard, but I don't know what to do with it. And the game doesn't tell me.
You give it to the crypto lady for glimmer.

Also who's your avatar?

Got 3 purple from blue engrams today :)
A rocket launcher and 2 armors that arent for my class... but Ill make other characters, getting bored of my lvl 26 warlock
 
So do higher level Strikes have a better chance of dropping better loot? Like, aside from Vanguard marks and whatnot, would I be better off doing Level 18 Strikes?

RNG shouldn't be a factor with those kinds. I hate that it is considering how difficult it is to find legendary drops.

Nice avatar! FKA Twigs has been like 40% of what I've been listening to lately.

Bout time Twigs get some respect 'round here :)
 
I had to turn it off.

Was doing a the earth strike with 2 randoms while doing my no deaths in a strike bounty.

Takes 30 mins to kill the walker.

Fighting the giant eye ball thing and he is down to 15 percent health.

Mother fucking connection drops.
 
Couple notes on multiplayer:

1. Shotguns, ARs need to be nerved in there.
2. Crucible it seems gives you way more experience when upgrading your weapons than campaign does. I think this needs to be adjusted to make both modes more even.

Higher level loot yes, not necessarily better.

But as you progress through 18 to 24, you'll start getting higher level req/stat gear. The 24 Strike playlist generally gives you level 19/20 gear, so after doing it enough you'll have a full set of rare weapons at level 20, which will hold you over nicely until you find more legendaries.

Speaking of rares, be sure to look at the mods on them before you scrap them. I still use a level 12 blue AR in Crucible because it's a Shingen E (an already Stable AR) with a Stability mod and a Single Point Sling (faster movement/weapon switch). Combine with either a Shotgun or a Fusion Rifle I found that both have Single Point Sling as well and... yeah. Amazing in PvP.

I know how you feel mate.
Still no legendary gear here, lv 23.
 
Need 1 good player level 24+ with decent gear (Arc weapons) to do the Weekly Strike on the second difficulty (level 24). Xbox One, send me a message/FR: Mr Greencastle. If anyone is down for trying to tackle that, let's do this!
