I'm confused because everyone keeps telling me this game is shit.

For the record, this game is pure god damn sex.

Got 2 exotics last night and can only wear 1, first reef problems

Everyone on GAF or...?

Because GAF is definitely not the majority when it comes down to hating or loving a game.

 

[Diablohead]

So the vehicle TDM like mode this weekend really isn't that different then normal, the faster respawns are not that noticeable and I was expecting more then one tank.

Because of the large maps you do better sniping then being in a vehicle more often then not.

Facebook feeds and twitter feeds. I think there all playing too human by mistake.

I have a feeling this game is going to crash, hard in the next few weeks when people are super geared up and have nothing to do. No way Bungie can generate content fast enough to keep it interesting.

 

[Doodis]

I thought Xur was about at the weekends?

Came to ask this. Not seeing him anywhere.

I'm addicted to the game which is why I keep playing but there is a lot of small problems which all roll up into an annoying lump.

I just hope bungie show their support with the game with updates and patches to fix issues like talking open mic in the tower, having worthwhile rewards for big bosses, auto rifle dominance in PvP and such.

Also that I really don't have much else to play right now until later this winter.

Depends how much they held back though.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Did you do it 20 times?

For some reason it doesn't count them all! .. I was pretty sure I killed more than 3 in several occasions and when I check the bounty is says zero under progress.. I just checked before replying and it says 3!! I'm not sure what's happening

The game is really awesome. This one and Diablo 3 almost got me back to gaming!! It's been years and years since I've spent this much time on games

The ultimate experience in the game is when you have friends to play with online. I joined my friends last night who just got the game and we had a BLAST!!


OH FUCK! THIS GAME MADE ME FORGET ABOUT THE FORMULA 1 QUALIFYING.. FUCK DESTINY!!

EDIT: It's not for another hour.. *phew*

Eh, a 7.5/10 game can still be addictive to play.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

Very little.

We got proof of this or we just assuming, I'm inder the impression they got stuff ready to keep us going for a while.
If so yey cant wait.
If no yey need a break lol.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

I thought Xur was about at the weekends?

Came to ask this. Not seeing him anywhere.

He arrived yesterday but changed his spawn location. This weekend he's selling his wares from the left side of the tower, he's in the space between the speaker and the outfitter lady.

First Dlc comes out in Decmeber. All they need is a second raid between now and then to bridge the content. If the base game doesn't involve at least 2 raids, that would be very disappointing

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Very little.

Quite the opposite, feels like they have held back a fair lot.

They wont reasle a raid for free. It is going to be in the next dlc.

They didnt hold anything back that was significance. None of the stuff they did so far was that different beside the raid which we knew about and looking at the future noting is going to be new content.

I don't think so.

Pvp is great for a start, and I'm gearing my second character and having just as much fun. Not even done with my primary, or the raid yet.

This game will last for a long time, IMO.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

That bounty for juju is that in the level 26 weekly or is it in all the weekly strike levels? I had to help some friends through the 22 strike and I think I got screwed.

I don't get the impression that they've held much back. And if all we have to look forward to are maybe some raids with no matchmaking that the vast majority of players will never play, we'll, that'd be even worse. They'd need a steady supply of strikes and quest zones for the average players, IMO.

 

[Duebrithil]

Probably old, but today I learned you can use the D-pad to give directions while riding a sparrow. Pretty cool.

learned that a few hours ago in a PvP match. pretty cool indeed

Average players will be content levelling 3 characters over the same content. Just as they are content doing the same in mmos.

It doesn't have as much variety as an mmo, but that's balanced with pvp and the gameplay hook in general.

And this is without content updates. The stuff like new bounties, while not actual new content, will be enough to keep people invested in between dlc.

I really think you're underestimating this game.

Anyone up for the last part of the thorn quest im getting my ass handed to me lol.

 

[irrotational]

I've seen a few questions about Xur. Can anyone confirm that he comes and goes during the weekend?

I visited him last night then about an hour later my mate and I couldn't find him. He wasn't there... An hour after that he was back?

 

[Diablohead]

Shotgun users, this is the difference in spread when you have the less spread while hard aiming perk on your gun:

He needs a bathroom break every now and then too.

I'm still not sure why poeple hold weight with reviews lol gaf in general seems too a lot. I have not read a review for any game in like 10 years. There is only one opinion that matters and that's your own. Not sayinf the game is prefect by any stretch. But poeple exspecailly gaf give waay too many fucks about review scores. Shrugs.gif

 

[Wallach]

Been hunting for a purple helm as a random drop since I can't get any marks. Cryptarch rank 12 rolled around, purple helm engram, Ascended Shards. Could be worse. Just barely hit rank 13 before logging out, purple helm engram yet again. Knucklehead Radar, some exotic Hunter helm. I officially have gotten more exotics than purples from these purple engrams. I think I'm 2 for 20 to get any purple gear out of them.

Did manage to hit 27 at least, even with my stupid blue helm.

He should only be in the Tower on Friday and Saturday. And now he's near the speaker not the crucible guys

I will keep playing MP because, wait for it, it's great fun. Remember playing games for the fun of it? MP feels like the natural evolution of Halo to me and I love it.

Just because certain aspects of the game may be disappointing doesn't mean they don't like playing it. There are a lot of things I am critical of with Destiny but I am still enjoying it and will put a lot of hours in it. I just hope Bungie fixes what they can and makes Destiny 2 better for it.

Fun? You mean that shot gun and fusion rifle infested, bladedancer and hulk smash controlled mp with shitty maps. .If I want to play mp there are better options.

Holy crap! That's a huge difference.

Looks like there's a ton of depth in this game that we have yet to start uncovering.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Just got my first legendary engram - in a level 18 strike.... Seems kinda random. Don't legendaries drop more in higher level strikes?
Anyway, of course I didn't get anything legendary from the cryptarch but it was still kinda nice. Level 23 now. I want dat dere legendaries now.

Yeah. Once we started getting tons of videos and streams of games reviews became pretty useless for me. I know what I enjoy playing and couldn't care less about others opinions on subjective things like games.

 

[Daemul]

Yep. I wouldn't give Destiny anything more than a 6.5-7/10, there's far too much wrong with it, but I'm still enjoying it.

 

[Maybesew]

They wont reasle a raid for free. It is going to be in the next dlc.


.

This blizzard/activision/Warcraft model was multiple raids in vanilla wow and multiple raids per expansion. I jusy think there has to be at least a second raid

Once you can start getting legendaries, everything seems to have the same chance of dropping the engrams. This is why people find optimal farming locations with tons of trash to mow down as quickly as possible.

The Nightfall strike is capable of giving legendaries and exotics as end rewards. I've not seen this happen in any other strike.

Edit: It should be noted the the drop chance isn't confirmed to my knowledge, but we've definitely found it most efficient to find locations with streams of trash mobs to take out. If there is a higher chance for Majors/Ultras... it seems so miniscule it's unnoticeable. The best way to get your hands on legendaries is honestly going to be farm rep and marks to buy them. Anything you get from engrams is just a nice bonus.

He said the people who are calling it bad, not the people who are critical but like it. Most people who like it aren't blind to its flaws.

 

[irrotational]

Yes that's what I mean This all happened last night, at the "opposite the speaker" spot. I went there 3 times withing 4 hours and the middle time he wasn't there...just didn't exist.

Didn't know if it was a glitch or they'd added an RNG to what hours he was physically present.

Maybe they took him offline when they changed the "glimmer for strange coins" thing?

 

[Savantcore]

Weekly strike anyone? Only doing it on level 22 for a bounty. PSN ID: LSB123

 

[nib95]

Finally got past my Level 25 slunk. Legendary Helmet upgraded, and now levelling up my new Exotic Titan chest piece!

There is going to be a second raid, it is in the dlc .Activison usually doesn't give anything new for free see map packs. and Blizzard is a different case than bungie.

 

[sploatee]

Oh my.

Praise RNGesus.

An exotic weapon bounty
A legendary scout rifle
A legendary helmet

All in the space of a couple of hours of normal play.

Level 26!!!!!!!

I'll be asking in this thread later for gaffers who want to try the weekly strike at 26 and the nightfall :-D

 

[nib95]

What's the lowest level someone can sensibly get away with completing Nightfall?
