My copy arrives today. I see people are generally positive about it.

 

[Mamont1537]

Those small sidequest adventure missions have more story and logic than main missions in D1.
I'm really impressed, so much stuff to do.

My only disappointment so far is that we have only one custom emote slot again. That made me stop caring about emotes in D1 (and I was ready to buy them!), because I'm not going to open inventory every time I want to show a different one.

 

[Theorry]

Damn. Level 13 and alot of new missions etc opened up. Alot to do.

 

[gunstarhero]

Can you import your character from D1? If so, any benefits to doing that?

 

[Camwi]

it will be yours again soon.

Voidwalker's bottom tree is OP, you'll be fine.

Good to know, because I feel the same way about that new super.

 

[Hyun Sai]

How does the LFG site works in game exactly ?

 

[KodaRuss]

Halo ODST vibes on the 2nd mission

Yeah, that was great. Love that game.

I am having a blast with the game so far, it looks like Bungie has brought their A game in Destiny 2.

 

[PrintedCrayon]

Yes you can!

EDIT: Better answers given below.

 

[ramyeon]

Got an exotic emote from my level 20 Bright Engrams. Spicy Ramen. The name says it all. So good.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

Mine automatically imported, and there's a small segment after starting the game that will mean different amounts to people depending on how much you fell into Destiny. Can't say much more than that without spoiling but it's nice if you loved the first game.

D1 guardians are automatically there if you played D1 and beat the D1 campaign. You get emblems.

You also get a special intro

Exactly. My store doesn't have any specially marked boxes. Look like I need to drive around today before I install the game.

Ugh.

not sure yet. the clan system isn't live yet (in game) and guided games will be rolled out across the rest of the month.

 

[Owlowiscious]

so mission reward in the game about 6 mission in

Spoiler

choose one of three exotics, I didn't like the one I picked (titan chest auto rifle auto reload) so I'm making an alt to get a different exotic u_u (arms that charge super with melee and help shield throw with melee supers)

hmmm took just under one and a half hours. I might do it again for the third item I dunno

 

[PrintedCrayon]

Ugh.

You don't need the destiny marked boxes. Just a receipt for proof of purchase

 

[Mr. Luchador]

PVP seems dumb. Two games now and the levels have been totally imbalanced. 2,5,7 v 10, 13, 15. I'm hoping that's just because it's early days, but christ.

 

[Certinty]

Is this game worth it for the coop campaign alone? It's the only reason me and my friend want it.

 

[Mr.Monitor]

Kind of a bummer that shaders are now disposable and seem to permanently link when you use them, I constantly changed colors in D1 depending on what armor I had on. I just hope that interesting colors are easy to get ahold of later in the game.

As for the rest of the game, it's excellent. As a primarily solo player it seems like they really focused on making the game more playable without a group, and they really improved a lot of the more boring aspects of the gameplay formula. I'm going to be spending an absurd amount of time with this game.

grey slideshow with dates if when you completed past landmarks? Our did I miss something else?

Well this virginmedia sparrow is turning into a right cluster fuck.

Website now tells me i already have the code, which i dont.

Shambles of a promotion.

character level doesn't matter in PvP outside of Iron Banner and Trials

In that sense it might be easier if you liked certain shaders for certain armours – you just change to the armour with the shader already in it, and from what I've heard shaders drop in stacks of 5. I like the additional customization options now afforded but I'm with you on not being overly positive on the implementation as a whole. That said, I haven't got to the point where I'm messing around with shaders so don't want to trash it too much before I've seen how it plays out.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I knew someone would come and say that, but in terms of time played, familiarity with the character/class it sure makes a difference (as well as timed spent in the PVP maps too).

Yeh that's the one. Think the impact of it depends how much you fell into the first one. It was really nice to experience for me.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

not sure about just the campaign because i'm only a couple hours in but so far it's way better than D1. i actually care about the characters and what happens now. in D1 i had no clue who anyone was or what was happening lol.

that said, if you's want a co-op heavy game then Destiny is probably one of the best out there.

 

[swimbuff]

Any way to combat people who AFK on strikes? They must have found a solution for that by now.

 

[Synless]

So was the co-op rumor about not being able to play until you beat stage first true?

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Are bounties gone?

you can unlock co-op campaign really early on. just complete the intro sequences and by that i mean the "homecoming" mission and then find

True, though the skills and how they're effectively used in PvP are really quite different to PvE. I get what you mean about the base knowledge but at the same time you could have someone level to cap and max-power in PvE and hop into PvP for the first time and be trash.

 

[ExtinctionEvent]

I never got any emblems, where do you get them?

 

[leng jai]

Is it just me or do all the female face options look awful?

 

[Captain Smirk]

A nice touch at the very beginning

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

This Bungie post details all of the emblems you could receive from having done stuff in D1.

 

[FyreWulff]

Look in the Vault in the farm

It's the first day. Things will balance out.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

yeah it was cool but not sure what happened because it says i completed something on the 1st January 1970 lol. also never got to do any raids so that didn't turn up. just said that i completed the campaigns in the expansions really.

 

[FyreWulff]

at this point though everyone's entering PvP fresh, it's expected to see character levels all over the place.

When IB/trials hit it's gonna be closer to each other because people will self-sort via investment level.

That sounds pretty good. Given the lack of coop games and what you've said I think I'll give this a go. Much appreciated.

How many boxes of Pop-Tarts do I need to play the game?

Enough to wash down with rockstar energy

That logic.

You could say this about any multiplayer game for the entirety of its lifespan.

 

[Cornbread78]

Hells yes. The whole game is built around playing with other players. Definitely my GOAT co-op game

 

[LoNe_eXiLe]

I'm honestly loving everything that I have played so far. This seems like what Destiny was always meant to be.

 

[f@luS]

Game is amazing looking. I know it's not native but a nice CBR looks equally amazing imho. Looks like Titanfall 2 IQ wise. Stunner. Can't wait for hdr (ps4 pro )

 

[Truant]

Is the whole Quest structure from Taken King gone? Feels kinda dated to go back to the "missions on a map" style from vanilla :/

 

[oti]

Played the first mission on the first planet that isn't earth (in case one doesn't want to be spoiled).

This is a cool game. Fun design, some light platforming too. I love the verticality of it all.

Tried a public EDZ event on my own. Lol nope. Not happening.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

Praedyth?

i can't remember what it was for. i've never done any raids. just noticed the date was 1/1/1970 lol. everything else that appeared gave the proper dates.

 

[Quick Mustard]

Can Adventures be repeated or is that it, one and done?

 

[The1Ski]

Shader system sounds stupid.

I always liked changing out my shader based on the mission or map just for fun. Doesn't sound like I'll be doing that. I'm always apprehensive about using consumables anyway
