what's wrong with the level requirements that shows? and can anyone explain how a map screen indicates the content itself is on the disk? or if it is that it's not in an unfinished/unplayable state...?
Not really understanding the complaints myself...

People like to feel like they're getting screwed at the first sign of "cut content".

Probably like all cut content in every game that isn't actually ever cut out to sell later. There's a tiny few examples of this. This isn't one of them.

edit: I'm of the opinion this game was in development hell and they just had to cut shit out to patch in later once they realized they couldn't meet the release date with everything they want.

Kind of like most every bit of cut content ever.

People are dumb and like to jump to conclusions with pitchforks.
 
Nothing indicates it's on the disk. It's just icons on a map. However people were already worried that the content WAS on the disc and was being held back for money, so confirmation bias will confirmation bias.

No one will know for sure if the content is really on the disc until it comes out. If there's a significant download, then it wasn't. If it's like a 45mb download, then it's likely that it's already on the disk and people are paying for an unlock code.
i can understand the instict to assume, i'm just making sure I GET this revelation- all this shows is that the map screen was indeed programmed in advance of the first DLC to have all the selection indicators.

stuff that you actually can glitch into like the king's watch doesn't even appear to be listed?
 
notices the level requirements of all the "new" content.

Is actually not surprised, It's not like anyone was actually expecting effort.

Wow, didn't even notice that. Level 10 strike huh. So much for leveling up and wanting to revisit the areas with heavy guards.

Aren't the top right story missions in the "Kings Watch" area new?

The current "in" thing on Gaf is to hate on Destiny or something. Absolutely love this game. Completed the raid for the first time this morning! Got my chatter white, a sick titan mark and tons of mats. Lvl 29 is so close!

Nope, that's not it. There's a ton of complaints because there's a ton of bewildering issues with the game.
 
that thread is going swimmingly. just lovely

i'm not getting it:
If you want to see two of the locations of the DLC here is the Seraphim Vault https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmfY9Y7OYco and King's Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaAOZKTMElc

but both of those areas are on earth and the first raid is on the moon? and those areas are INCREDIBLY glitchy in their current form

like this degree of unfinished

just, whatever, rage if you want I guess.

So that's what that is? you can see that and seraphim vault in game now by glitching. they have some stuff in them but are very unstable.

no indication the strikes/raids are on disc whatsoever so far as I can tell... -_-
 
Can anyone help me and my friend with the weekly nightfall strike mission we are both level 26 on the PS4.

PSN: Tailsaga

Thank You!

The biggest issues are being addressed this Tuesday. I've enjoyed all my time since even with said issues. Most of the crying was because of the engrams. That will be fixed and strikes are going to be easier/faster and more reward full. Can't wait!
 
Just got this from a legendary engram I got in PVP.

That makes a total of 4 exotic weapons and one exotic piece of armor.

Weapons:

Suros Regime
The Last Word
Invective
GJALLARHORN

Armor:

Helm of Inmost Light

I really want this.

0 exotics so far, 0 exotic bounties; almost level 27.

They're only glitchy because of the way you get in. I've been in the Seraphim Vault, and once in and the whole thing loads (since you don't go through a proper loading screen), the area feels very finished, dead ghost and all. A lot of the doors are locked, but it's there. Looked to be the same with the area on Venus that was posted today where the guy Blade Danced through the energy door.
 
If I join a raid at the last boss and beat it, am I "locked out" of redoing one from scratch and reaping all the prior benefits?

Really want to get some raid gear.

Well there are missions that are located in the Kings Watch area on that map. The player just didn't highlight them. But of all the locations that are blocked off on Earth, Kings Watch is the only place that does have mobs inside of it or at least was showed to have some populating it in one of the glitch videos from the Beta. The Seraphim Vault didn't.

Seems like the current thing on GAF is disregarding others observations and continuing to just write valentines.

Since some of the content is low level, it probably implies that the "expansion" story content takes place in between the existing story content that surrounds it.

I was really sadden to see the
additional Raids
not be lvl 31 or higher, although it could still be hidden in there. But an Expansion without a [soft] level cap increase comes off as a partial effort.
 
I have both Found Verdict and Invective, which one should I sink mats into?

The way I see it FV has 6 rounds, and is not Exotic. So I lean towards that. Shotguns own PVP and everyone says Invective rocks, but I completely fail to deliver kills with them. Even tho they get nerfed I sort of like to try one.

Really want to get so raid gear.

Nope, you can restart a raid from the beginning and collect all the rewards for beating the parts up to the final boss.

Speak for yourself. Most of my "crying" has been about the awful, awful story, and the incredibly repetitive mission structure. While I'm glad that they're fixing engrams, they've still got a loooooong way to go.

The game has issues, no doubt. Some of them bewildering. Yet me and literally everyone on my PSN friends list plays it incessantly. I guess that means they got a lot right, too.

They absolutely nailed the core gameplay loop, IMO. It's all that's kept me going :P But at this point, as soon as I can get a group together to run through the raid from start to finish, I'm done until the first expansion drops.

Yes, you're locked out. In fact, you get locked out on each phase as you beat it the first time of the week until the reset each Tuesday. It's to prevent people from farming the items and gearing up too quickly and then never playing it again.

Edit: Sorry, I misread you. You only get locked out of bosses and phases that you personally completed.

there's still a lack of in-game communication tools, lack of matchmaking for content on "this side" of doable with randoms, lack of visual customization ability, and of course all the story complaints. and apparently, we are absolutely positive that the DLC content is all finished and on the disc just waiting to be unlocked by your hard earned cash

the degree to which you are able to look past these aspects (well, the first four, the last thing is a joke based on the research I have done so far) is exactly the degree to which you enjoy the game IMO. the only one that has even affected me is the visual customization bit which is probably not a high priority for as many players as the other stuff.

disregarding others' observations. smh. i'm paying pretty close attention to the observations people are making. a lot of them are silly as fuck.

level thing is personal preference I guess. I would prefer they NOT ever raise it. I prefer to be forced to improve my skill to succeed rather than arbitrary raise numbers that indicate the strength of my avatar. i know that's not a popular opinion though, and both the soft and hard caps will be raised before long.
 
I'm half way to 29 and I still haven't done a Nightfall. I really need to start doing those since the rewards are so nice. Something tells me my weapons probably don't punch quite hard enough to solo to the boss.

Constructive criticism is always good but repeatedly looking for things to be upset about is another.

Also, the missions being in lower level ranges simply means that it's adding content that any new players or re-rolls can do. All of that content will be playable at higher level difficulties so it still adds content that high level players can complete.

Level 28 Raids works well also as it provides something harder than Vault without making Vault's Hardmode obsolete. Those 28 strikes will also have Hardmodes that will probably be higher level than the Vault Hardmode.

They can't fix the story D: I hope you're not looking out for that.

There are immediate problems with the narrative structure of games like Destiny that make it extremely tough to tell a compelling tale that doesn't detract from the player's personal experience. it's almost intractable. it's not unique to Destiny by any stretch.

any good story bits we get from here on out will be equivalent to "good episodes" of a really poorly executed TV show

that they did.
ya i'm more concerned about the maps and weapon balance in pvp
i'm surprised someone who has played as much as you is really concerned about weapon balance in pvp. what more would you change other than toning shotgun/AR range?
 
Down in Atlanta for a conference so I had to leave me PS4 back in DC.

But man, Remote Play is awesome. I won't be doing PVP well, but it's just fine for PvE (for the most part. High level Strikes may be rough). I may take some time to level a Warlock while I'm here, and then just do bounties for my 27 Hunter.
 
Ugh wish it were Tuesday. I was fortunate to find/get 3 Legendary Engrams today. and well you know the rest...

BLUE!

anyways I found a jackpot loot chest on Mars. Never had one of those in my almost 48 hrs of playing. 11 Iron Relic 2 Blue Engrams and Network Keys
 
god damn I keep getting Ascendant Energy from the daily and no Shards. :|

I mean, Energy is fine too but I really would like to actually upgrade all of this armor I have sitting here fully leveled already.
