At least I got a Legendary helm before the ddos. Sadly the one I got from Xur is an exotic and better....

Need more gear as all my current is maxed out.

Not tonight I guess.

Is this a joke post?

 

[Wallach]

What the game use to be sounds incredible but what we got is crap. (Excluding the basic shooting gameplay) Still hooked...what is wrong with me.

That isn't "what the game used to be", it's some guy's Reddit fantasy.

 

[zedge]

Wow. That's a bit harsh.

Nah they are scum.

What is the point of this?? Other than pissing people off? Surely its not legal.

 

[Deadstar]

The more I read about this the sadder I get.

What happened at Bungie?

Any Bungie fan can see that Destiny isn't the quality game it should have been. Something real dirty happened at Bungie. I hope Activision didn't ruin them.

 

[kittens]

Fuck these stupid kids man. I really hope they are caught and repeadly raped in jail.

Uhh, that's disgusting and totally inappropriate.

I just wish they'd fucking stop.

 

[darthbob]

Not that I know of. The way I've had it explained to me is it's basically a bunch of traffic directed to hit the servers all at once overloads them.

Right, it can't be out right prevented, but it can be managed.

Fuck these stupid kids man. I really hope they are caught and repeadly raped in jail.

Dude, it's a fucking game. Calm down.

 

[spannicus]

focus on ranking up crucible or vanguard to rank 2 and just buy legendary armor. It's far more reliable than hoping for drops. Also, do the Queens Bounties when you can and get two legendary pieces from there.

Thank you.

I can consistently run away from Bladedancers. Being able to hear them activate and recognizing the sound helps a lot. Whenever I hear it I respond with extreme caution, and if I actually see a Bladedancer I just jump, run, swerve, etc. Works almost every time.

Lol, that won't work against competent bladedancers. You know bladedancers can go invisible during their super if they spec into it right? How are you going to see me when I'm invisible and I blink teleport towards you and your teammates and kill all of you? Do you also know I get full health everytime I kill someone during arc blade? That's why emptying mags into bladedancers doesn't work.

Eventually, they're going to get one kill, which means instant full health and move on to the next. I'm also specced into where I go invis everytime I Blink Strike. If my Blink Strike kills someone, I go invis and instant full health thanks to Escape Artist and Hungering Blade.

I also can't count how many times I blink teleported right through someone only to do a 180 and instant Blink Strike/death/go invis.

Source? I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.

Cheers for the link! Can't help but feel though that the case is that it's illegal, but next to nothing is done about it. Honestly I figured their threat to an airline was the final nail for these guys yet they're still at it.

Activision happened?

I think over the last couple of years the writing has been on the wall.

 

[Vidpixel]

I must say, re-watching the very first ViDoc on Destiny is entirely fascinating. It explains the story better than the actual game does.

I finished the story missions last night. There is no story to spoil.

Some guy's Reddit fantasy vs. the big nothing story we paid money for. I don't know, he created a better story for himself for free. Sounds like we're the idiots.

 

[TheBlueBomber]

Does this Lizard group DDoS things often?

Sounds like it going by the annoyance of some of the people in this thread, i've never really heard of them till this destiny business

I dont think activison is/was the problem.

[realcZk]

Where can I play the story missions? Do they unlock after I beat all of the deploy ghost ones?

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

if only ddos attackers were as easy to stop as blade dancers

Well, that is a heavy gun, to be fair to the deceased.

 

[CloudyTuba]

Holy shit. They even managed to sneak in an insult in the error message.. "search for: cattle"

Fuck.

The game has no story so there's nothing to be spoiled.

Well, shit.

I'm sure lots of story ideas got scrapped but I'm not going to believe a random reddit post about the same thing many speculated would be the "big twist".

 

[malfcn]

Just got home from hockey and wanted to noodle around with the rest of the game. Nope.

 

[Marcel]

Nah they are scum.

What is the point of this?? Other than pis sing people off? Sur its not legal.

I think calling for people to be raped over you not being able to access your video game is borderline psychotic.

 

[Proxy]

That isn't "what the game used to be", it's some guy's Reddit fantasy.

Pretty much.

 

[off duty ninja]

You'll be okay man. It would have just been ascendant materials or a shader anyway.

JUST ascendant materials?? Doesn't everybody need a shit load of those like I do?

 

[Steel]

Well, that is a heavy gun, to be fair to the deceased.

That's actually his point.

 

[Final Verdict]

Can't sign into destiny...it keeps saying I can't connect to their servers, but my internet is working fine...
Also the forums on Bungie net seem to be down.
Is anyone else experiencing these problems??
(I'm on X1)

EDIT: looks like live servers might be down, I checked my network connection, and it said that there was a problem with their live servers.

I'm being totally serious... because that would actually happen. :/

Read the last 60 posts. It's a widespread problem.

I wanted to get a couple of games in before bed, but I guess that's not happening.

Damn, just put the baby down, too. Forza Horizon 2 demo it is... Keep us posted, GAF!

 

[JayEH]

It's dumb that you can't play offline patrols.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Maybe if these guys DDoS Activision enough, they'll release all the cut content being withheld for DLC free.

Spoiler

Ah. Ah ha. Ah ha ha. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

 

[Deadstar]

I thought Reach was pretty good. The multiplayer was very enjoyable and the story was ok.

 

[ethomaz]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo.

 

[Raxus]

I finished the story missions last night. There is no story to spoil.

The story is cards came in and stole all the interesting parts.

 

[gamechanger87]

I'm sure lots of story ideas got scrapped but I'm not going to believe a random reddit post about the same thing many speculated would be the "big twist".

The sad part is that it makes wayyyy to much sense. It's why a lot of stuff doesn't jive.

 

[blue_phazon]

Holy shit. They even managed to sneak in an insult in the error message.. "search for: cattle"

Fuck.

I don't see anything strange. What did it say?

 

[JdFoX187]

If that Reddit post is true -- who's to say it is or isn't -- that could still be something explored later in either the expansions or the sequel. Not that it, in any way, justifies the piece of shit we got for a "story" in this game, but it has potential. It's obvious the "story" was scrapped and reworked at some point. There's just no other way to explain the obvious missing pieces shown in various vidocs and trailers that aren't in the game. It's just sad the end product was so heavily butchered.

 

[Sergoes]

I dont think activison is/was the problem.

I think blaming Activision is a little too easy. Someone somewhere along the line decided to gut the story. It's bizarre regardless of it being a Bungie head or an Activision head. The dlc honestly might not have any new cinematics or story at all. It could just be more missions, strikes, and raids with no real progression at all, just more gameplay. I'm surprised so few people think about that.

 

[gibration]

Congrats. Get anything nice for your Titan?


We could always play TLOU.

Just tried, didn't work. The problem is PSN it seems.

I dunno, I have never bought an MMO-esque game for a story. But he didn't really create any interesting story in that link either, it's a bunch of vague comments designed to avoid having to substantiate anything he is saying.

You forgot to add Warlock Sunsinger is the best and most OP class in Destiny.

Some effort is better than no effort. Bungie's writers must have had Rip Van Winkle disease and woke up after the game released.

I'm having a lot of fun with the game. Am I still an idiot?
