You could try to get a refund from Sony. There was another poster who tried in here and some success stories in the review thread. The worst thing they can say is "no".

I tried getting a refund for BF4 Premium when that game was broken as shit and got nothing. I doubt not being happy with further development will be good enough of a reason for them.

If you want to weep, think about how much money Vin Diesel got for voicing Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Dinklage said more than

Spoiler

4

words.

At least Diesel's performance had more emotion and nuance than the shit Dinklage delivered in this game.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Oh yeah, the patch that eliminates glimmer farming but not the loot cave. LOL

I didn't think you'd need to Glimmer farm in this game

 

[CloudyTuba]

What's funny is that's the most social shit you can do on the patrols. Usually you just speed past other players. Public events come every once in while, often when you are alone since there is little notification it's occurring for people not own the immediate area

That cave tho. Brings people fuckin together for an extended duration of time. More apt to send invites and play with dudes that are cool and not fuckin up the cave farming or just sitting afk

This is actually true. Usually people speed by. I can follow a guy around for ten minutes but he wont invite me to his empty default-private fireteam, and I dont want to invite him because it will kick him out of his mission.

Many also dont seem to realize that the game will separate us when we cross a loading zone and that fireteams are a thing. Poor guy keeps looking back to see if I'm still there and is having a good time, but then poof I'm gone. Going into this game blind, the game itself wont teach you shit. You need a guide or the internet to even half know what you're doing.

But then I visit the loot cave and we're all hanging out, silently interacting, fireteams start forming and it's a good time.

I believe that a lot of people think that the loading screens are actually cut scenes.

No, I'm pretty sure he's saying that the cut scenes add nothing after you've seen them the first time and you should be able to skip them.

 

[backflip10019]

1. Think about how bare bones the story is.
2. Think about how little actual dialogue there is that they recorded with Peter Dinklage.
3. Think about how much they paid him for said dialogue.
4. Weep at your yearly income.

How much was he paid for it?

 

[Strider]

I didn't think you'd need to Glimmer farm in this game

You don't need to as it's easy to come by... But you could get a lot of legendary engrams by glimmer farming and buying engrams from the Cryptarch to level him up.

 

[Marcel]

I didn't think you'd need to Glimmer farm in this game

I don't feel like I had to but some people were lamenting its removal. YMMV.

 

[Milennia]

good shit guys, i literally had to hold my super till everyone was dead =p

 

[Homeboyd]

How much was he paid for it?

About tree fiddy

And den it was ABOUT DAT TIME... I REALIZED DAT WADN'T NO TYRION LANNISTER...

 

[Kodros]

No, I'm pretty sure he's saying that the cut scenes add nothing after you've seen them the first time and you should be able to skip them.

I agree but there's really not many cut scenes at all in this game which leads me to believe that people that are really angry at non skippable cutscenes think that the loading screen is a cut scene. I've already personally talked to a few people that thought this.

 

[Papercuts]

How much was he paid for it?

I'm going to guess 450 million.

I agree but there's really not many cut scenes at all in this game which leads me to believe that people that are really angry at non skippable cutscenes think that the loading screen is a cut scene. I've already personally talked to a few people that thought this.

The first thing I did today was the queen bounty to kill that guy in the second mission, which made me sit and rewatch that speaker exposition dump again. It's a huge turn off for that to happen in a co-op focused game, let alone one that wants you to use multiple characters.

But yeah, luckily there aren't that many.

But you also have to sit through these cutscenes if you do for example a daily or the Queen stuff. It's stupid that you can't skip them. I don't care how little cutscenes there are I don#t want to sit through them again especially not if I have to do the same missions over and over again.

It kinda is a cut scene though. Stupid dialogue has to finish before you land even if it's already loaded. You can tell it's loaded since it pulls you out the menu screen once it is.... Only to stare at your ship while some universally panned dialogue finishes that you've already heard 10 times before

 

[The Librarian]

Ah fuck it. I'll keep the helmet. I'll replace the jacket though. Wouldn't be too far much from what I currently have the intelligence/discipline is sligthtly higher in this variance.

look at you accesorizin'

 

[Afrocious]

If your problem with the portals was

Spoiler

it taking forever to get from one side of the portal back to the actual boss to deal damage. No thats not a bug you just have to run a pretty long way. Just keep sprinting!

I'll explain and hopefully paint a picture for you and those interested.

Spoiler

So you have the three who are sucked into a portal (going back in time). They kill the oracles and the trash, then they sprint to the exit portal. The problem that happens way too much is that, in the present (where three other fireteam members are fighting Supplicants), the portal itself has a front and backside. When the 3 relic time travelers return, sometimes one or two will be on one side of the physical portal in the present while someone else is on the other side of it.

I hope that makes sense. It's odd considering all the

Spoiler

portals and time travelling.

 

[commish]

I didn't think you'd need to Glimmer farm in this game

I buy a lot of ammo packs, so I do spend my glimmer on stuff. My handcannon eats ammo.

 

[Mutagenic]

I just hit lvl 20 and I feel like I'm going to miss out on all this easy legendary gear since im not high enough level for the missions.

 

[EL CUCO]

ok so the missions at 24 arent as easy as I thought lol

Still got my legendary helmet. I might still end up buying the helmet from vanguard though, because once again Bungie has grabbed an old gear/gun model, colored it purple, and called it something new.

Fucking sigh.

I have to say, I was playing Borderlands 2 in anticipation of Destiny...what a mistake that was. I wasn't expecting the same variety of BL2, but it really makes Destiny look VERY limited in comparison.

In Destiny most guns look the same, sound the same, reload the same...just a different name. There's only a few standouts out there that I can count with one hand, and they're all exotic. Bungie still has an opportunity to add some charisma to this game, just hopefully not at the cost of DLC :/

 

[DeadManWalking]

Got message that game world soon will reboot.

I don't really like sitting through the whole encounter with the speaker every time I kill Riksis x.x I'm not a new Guardian anymore, I don't need your introduction to the Traveler, and if there's loading to be done there then just throw me into a loading screen lol.

Armor
Hunter armor purchased from FWC has been changed to use the correct upgrade materials

Progress, real progress!

I think someone said they actually removed a hell of a lot of his Dinklebots dialogue,didn't they?

 

[Milennia]

so i just got this http://www.destinydb.com/items/3490486525-mida-multi-tool

but I'm currently using a fully upgraded doctor nope auto rifle (legendary).... unsure if i should use

 

[Seil]

I think someone said they actually removed a hell of a lot of his Dinklebots dialogue,didn't they?

I dunno if there's been anything from Bungie, but yeah I think someone said a decent chunk was removed between the alpha and beta besides the moon wizard line(that's the only one I noticed, but it was also probably the most memorable to me lol). So it could be assumed more was culled.

 

[Hawkian]

Ah they fixed the Ascendant Motes thing. cool, now I can look at FWC stuff equally

 

[Acorn]

Anyone doing the raid in need of a level 27 Titan?

 

[Stallion Dan]

They need to make the Tower actually social, a place for people to chat, team up, form groups etc.

Right now its function is a glorified text menu for stores, only it takes a loading screen to get there.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

look at you accesorizin'

I wear my hat with me everywhere irl, makes sense I accesorize in here too. I wasn't gonna use marks for anything else though, so even if I eventually get the sunbro chest I'll have a purple to come back to.

Yep. I mean I guess they added a little queen symbol at the top. But that's it. Looks the same as my old helmet.

I really want to do Vault of Glasses =(
Level 27 warlock (both maxed) and can get to 28 if really wanted to.
Anyone organizing raid for tonight?

It detects chests and loot when you point it at them

 

[jaaz]

So yeah, I have amassed 50 strange coins right now. I wonder if there is a cap on them too.

 

[Cømet]

Oh hell, at least you admitted it!
Yeah, I think we figured out quite a bit last night at the very least.

Muh bad I remember dropping it and immediately hearing "god damn fucking bubble!" (paraphrasing) and just thinking "whoops".

Spoiler

The labyrinth was great fun, the disappearing steps shorter than I expected but still good.....really I think we just need to do the Mars portal first as it's harder, send three in, then just send two into the Venus portal whilst two kill minotaurs and two defend the sync plate.

I've already picked up a stronger Shingen and topping up armour levels so next time they'll go down faster. Need to find a void fusion rifle though...
Looking forward to looting those chests again too. Can never have enough shards.

Ah yea I get what you're saying. Hmmm that is odd and didn't happen to us. We had a couple of glitches where we

could not cleanse in a couple of our runs

but never experienced that.

 

[LuchaShaq]

How do you get the queens warlock helm I don't see it st her vendor?

 

[Strider]

Ah they fixed the Ascendant Motes thing. cool, now I can look at FWC stuff equally

They did?! YEEEES. Wasn't expecting that since it wasn't in the patch notes. I guess it's just changed to shards right?

 

[Seil]

It detects chests and loot when you point it at them

That's kinda cool and now I want it just because lol.

 

[milkham]

How do you get the queens warlock helm I don't see it st her vendor?

go do her quests after you turn in her bounties

 

[Homeboyd]

It detects chests and loot when you point it at them

Just a rumor. Was disproven recently by another dude with that gun. It apparently just points "north" or something lame.

 

[Afrocious]

I don't think Bungie knows what the hell they're doing.

You'd think if they made it this easy to get legendary gear as opposed to fixing the loot system to make it more fair (perhaps by making legendary engrams rarer but guaranteeing purple or gold items). But nope, everyone and their dogs get legendary gear while folks raid to get even more legendary gear that's only a few points better in stats.

Usually, when a tier of gear is made easy to get, there's usually another, higher tier to offset the easiness that's more difficult to obtain.

Dammit.

dat spoiler ;_;

I am Groot.

 

[Zephyl]

Anyone want to do the nightfall strike? Level 27 hunter on ps4, psn Zephyl.

 

[Seil]

So yeah, I have amassed 50 strange coins right now. I wonder if there is a cap on them too.

Since strange coins are an actual item, if it does hit the stack limit it'll just start a new stack. That's what happens with planet mats.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Anyone up to help me with Queen's mission? Xbox One, Level 25 Titan Defender class. Username is the same as on here, GringoSuave89.

 

[Papercuts]

I guess the plus side of the game giving me an absurd amount of those queen coats when all I wanted was a single helmet was I now maxed out the exotic warlock gauntlets since I had 19 ascendent shards, which brought me to 27. Now I guess I hope that tomorrow the bounties reset and the rewards still include the hood.

You can also leave before the countdown expires once you got the mission done... There wont be any good drops so...

its pretty nice lol

scope pulls up faster than any gun I've used as well as an extremely fast base reload/short delay.

but my fully upgraded doctor nope =/ unsure

Oh yeah, folks:

How are we cheesing the Nightfall this week?
