Hard to say but I doubt I'll be able to once other games start coming out. Driveclub is going to take up alot of my gaming time in a few weeks, then November is going to be a crazy month for games. I'm definitely going to try to play Destiny as much as I can still though. I don't know what it is about this game but I can't seem to stay away for very long haha.

always see if you should keep weapons to be able to make PvP setup and PvE setups
For example, i use a lousy Plasmarifle in PvP as it has ridiculous reload speed and a magazine of 6 shots instead of the most damaging one i use in PvE.
It's also good to check your abilities within the class to see what skills are useful in PvP vs PvE.
I just wish this game had Loadouts you could just quickly swap in and out.
Doubt it. I only play it for a day or two per week. Right now, WoW is my priority along with Driveclub when it releases next month. Unlike Destiny, I feel WoW makes me wanna play it every day but without the bullshit design decisions that affect the game in a bad way IMO.
Sometimes I wanna play an online game where I can communicate with strangers without having to invite them in my party.
P.S: WoW is my first MMO, so I'm no expert in MMO designs and stuff. Go easy on me, okay?

Beat the raid.
I only got ascendant mats and a shader for the whole thing, chests and bonuses included.
Same here. Well atleast we beat the raid right? Right?
I should at least get like a coupon for a free pizza or something.

Damn, I don't mind commiting to a fireteam for a Strike, but don't really want to have to look for people outside of it to play. RL keeps getting too much in the way to commit anything beyond that. Matchmaking would be a blessing for me.

I'm finally level 26. Jesus, that felt like it took forever.
I've been thinking...I wonder what Bungie intends to do with the leveling system once we get into multiple expansions / the sequel(s). I mean getting to 30 might take a little while but I can't see how they could raise the cap to 40 if it's just going to be getting gear with even more Light on it.

is there any point of playing PVE when you're only interested in the PVP?
Vanguard rep and marks for legendaries is really about it. Everything else you can get from PVP.

Only 3 PvE bounties today compared to the usual (at least since launch) 6.

Not had an exotic bounty yet but then again not really turned many in! Only need a legendary in the heavy weapon slot now, rest is already legendary and exotic gloves from Xur at the weekend.
Created a Titan last night that I will level up as I have an exotic chest waiting for him in my storage.

Weekly heroics for Strange Coins. Crucible marks from PvP will net you anything else.
Probably at least a crucible match per day. Destiny eclipsed my interest in WoW which I was playing before this. No monthly fee also means no real need to feel like I need to play to get the most for my money. I'll probably do weekly nightfalls for a challenge and pop on for the events that come up.

Holy shit, I just checked mine... almost 112 hours and over 42k kills... and I've never been happier to be stuck in bed with a horribly sprained ankle

Slide shotgun. This is the true Destiny endgame.

It's such a bad design choice imo, they've cut the best part of the game off to those who don't have 6 friends to play with which I imagine is a sizeable amount of people. Sure you can go online and find groups to do it but it's not exactly ideal.
I know they've said they didn't do matchmaking for certain things because they don't think it works if people aren't working together and because it takes so long with raids that people will start dropping out but that also comes back to Bungie's bad decisions on trying to create some kind of social shared experience but implementing things which go completely against that idea at the same time. It's like they had 2 development teams fighting each other on whether you should even see other players at all, you can't talk to them (even in strikes/crucible games), they disappear the second they move into another area, you have to go through the whole orbit thing if you try to join someone's fireteam while on patrol etc.

Are there checkpoints in the raid a team could return to if everyone gets tired, or do you start from scratch each time?

I bet the Queen's bounties will be even more grindy than the Exotic ones.

There are checkpoints. I have one right before the end boss. As soon as my team resumes the raid, the end boss comes out.

There are checkpoints, but they reset on Tuesday.

Anyone think we'll see them today?
Also, how does one get exotic bounties? I was level 24 and 25 for most of the day yesterday and haven't got any so far. Just standard bounties.

I love this game.
Most of the criticism is fair, but it wont stop me from loving this game.
The one thing I will not agree with though is the drop rate or RNG complaints when it comes to legendary loot.
Why does everybody expect to have all the best stuff two weeks after the game came out?
I don´t have a single legendary or exotic yet and I think it´s cool. When something finally drops for me it will feel truly special.

The game needs two or three loadout slots you can toggle between quickly, really hurts when I have to go change gear all the time for pvp and pve sometimes I forget.

I'm level 27, played every day since launch and not had a single one while others have had 3+
RNG, man
Yeah I feel the same way. It's frustrating not getting the best stuff, but it's frustrating in a good way. It makes you want to keep playing. It's the people that are strictly farming for engrams and getting nothing that are complaining for the most part, and that's not a good way to play. Once you get marks and rep, eventually you'll get to a point where you can buy multiple legendaries and exotics at once and level up quite a bit.
Guys been farming for 40+ hours now and looked what dropped:

It it nice to have and exotic main weapon, but a Shotgun with a Sniper Scope! Shiiiiiit.
Not liking it so far, but I guess it will grow on me.
ccongrats, it's a killer in PvP, just slide when you blast away
That's how some people burned out, I bought my first usable purple via faction marks and I'm happy

gear AND abilities. Those invisibility tricks on Hunters are worth jack shit in PvE

It's pretty easy to complete. I didn't have to wait for Xur, but after that all you need is 500 machine gun kills.
This was by far the easiest one I saw. I've completed 3. The only grind was checking loot crates until I found the first gun on Mars. The 500 kills went really fast so i don't think it counts kills 1:1. Some enemies must be worth more. I went to patrol earth and killed low level fallen for 20 or so minutes.

Precision kills count for multiple points. I just went around headshotting dregs, ammo isn't much of a concern when you can get 3 points per bullet.
Right now I can't wait till it's friday again because I can buy myself a nice exotic piece from Xur
It's cool to have stuff to actually look forward to.Those invisibility tricks on Hunters are worth jack shit in PvE
You can safely revive people when invisible
gear AND abilities. Those invisibility tricks on Hunters are worth jack shit in PvE
That invisibility has saved multiple strike runs from being send back to checkpoint cause I could hide, lure enemies away and then go in and revive my buddies.
Destiny |OT5| The Sunk Cost Fallacy
Ah, that makes sense. I didn't have a ton of ammo so I went for headshots to conserve it.

I'm 106.78
However I don't think the shingen is the best because it's a good gun, it's the best because it's overpowered on most maps and I refuse to use it unless i'm feeling like it, sticking to handcannons and scout rifles.
