Friends can sign in. I guess rest mode saved them somehow. Lesson learned, I should use rest mode in the future.

rest mode kicks you back to the main menu after a certain amount of afk time though... don't think it helps.

I was in rest mode and came back to the main menu.

 

[Zocano]

Stupidest one that gets fucked is Devil Walker hands down

What is the trigger for this one? Is it just opening all the caches?

 

[Owlowiscious]

Spoilers for Leveling Up!

Explain your acronyms.

EDZ - The map on earth
PTE - ???

basically that's it I guess lol what's a PTE?

 

[Akvavit]

I was wondering as someone playing D1 on PS4 - but having opted to go for Xbox One (because Xbox One X) for D2. Are there any way to link up those two?

As far as I understand, returning players get a few neat things for their adventures in D1 when they start D2?

 

[Caim]

You open each forcefield with the arc charges that it drops when taking a certain amount of damage.

 

[AlexBasch]

It's cool to face best-friends-with-mics commandos in Crucible competitive. Fuck. Hahaha, I'm just gonna get the "play two competitive rounds" and never touch this fucker again.

 

[zsswimmer]

Got my first exotic engram at the EDZ. Do I need to take it the farm or is there another cryptarch

 

[ramyeon]

Naturally PSN goes down when I have a day off work to play this.

 

[MotionBlue]

Left the game alone to grab a snack, and came back to the main menu and connection errors. This is my only time to play Bungie!

 

[Freeman76]

Damn I have the day off and it wont let me log in. Motherfuckit

 

[Double Donut]

It seems like a majority of the time, I'm completing public events with just seconds to spare, even if I have others in the instance as well.

Either it's just the inexperience of these new events or they scaled the difficulty on them perfectly. It's always such a rush when I finish. Love it.

Been this way for 4 hours. No update from PSN.

 

[gossi]

The login problems are PSN for info. People can't change their offline status etc either.

 

[cilonen]

All these people not activating the extra objectives in the public events breaks my heart ):

It was amazing yesterday how many people got taken out by the artillery volleys on the cabal extraction one. When has standing in a red glowing circle on the ground ever been good?

I bet that and the orb / fusion cell / power core mechanic shows up in the raid.

 

[DjRalford]

Just turned on and logged in without issue in the UK.

Just gonna sit idle at the farm whilst I take the kids to school, then have an hour or so, no 15hr marathon today though.

 

[GraveRobberX]

EDZ - The map on earth
PTE - ???

basically that's it I guess lol what's a PTE?

EDZ - European Dead Zone

1st huge area you go into

That whole map

The first section, starter area, which houses the Church and NPC for the whole zone, Trostam
That's where I do my loop

PTE is Public Time Events, they've been acronymed for years though, so didn't fully write them out, my bad


I don't know how to make YouTube videos, don't have streaming or computer equipment to make those fancy video walkthroughs

 

[Outtrigger888]

Damn sorry to hear some of you guys are having issues logging in. I've been on for 6 straight hours without any issues. Hope it's fixed soon.

Are there rideable mounts like the first game?

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

Played some hours yesterday with my fireteam. The game is fantastic. It's more of the same but that's exactly what I wanted. Graphics and story could be better and the matchmaking isn't working right atm. But everything else is simply fantastic. Both PvE and PvP are a blast to play. Looking forward to this evening and the weekend.

 

[Marvel]

Played so much destiny I'm getting sick lol (killer sore throat) ruh oh

 

[norm9]

Got a dope exotic gauntlet and then ten seconds later dude appears in the same room with the same motherfucjing gauntlet.

Eta- How's the LFG with this game? Anyone try it?

 

[Jinjo]

Just my luck, took a day off to play Destiny 2 and now it seems PSN is having issues. It's weird, just let me play offline then game.

Lucky you. Im in the UK and its not working. Maybe its regional?

A lot of the RNG and such is handled server-side, so that's not possible the way the game is built.

 

[OriginalPoe]

Guess you gotta call in sick the rest of the week.. Poor you

 

[xuchu]

Yeah, I'm UK and it's not working as well. Took the day off too so hope it gets sorted soon.

 

[katsubento]

Been fortunate. Came home and logged in with no issues

 

[Sky Walker]

How long have been ? 6 Hours or so? And we pay 60$/year for this garbage service.

 

[Bradach]

Ah well, no cheeky little level before work for me.
That error message though, no need to threaten me with 'someone else might have logged in as you'. Just say servers melted Bungie. It's ok.

 

[Doctor West]

What's the fastest way to level up?

It's PSN. Not Bungie. So the game just gives a generic error message.

 

[Midas]

I dunno. I've only been affected for about 2 hours.

 

[Golgo 13]

Just had a really cool moment

Spoiler

When you go to the shard and unlock other subclasses

.


Damnit Bungie, you're winning this jaded bastard over again.

 

[OriginalPoe]

Hate to be a dick but I'm in the midwest USA and have had no issues on PS4.

 

[Marvel]

Guess you gotta call in sick the rest of the week.. Poor you

I'm disabled so I don't has to work anyway destiny lyfe

 

[cilonen]

What's the fastest way to level up?

Farm public events. Adventure side quests give a decent chunk of XP but can take a while, they're bout as long as story missions.

Spend 2 hours in a public zone and you can just mainline the story.

 

[clarky]

Nightfall anyone? PSN clarky1975

Maybe that'll learn you not to bark so much.

Yeah, Destiny 1 gives the same error. Overwatch gives an error code on logging in as well, however I still seem to be able to join a match in that. PSN store is borked too, can't buy anything. Sony PLS.

 

[Snubbers]

Had a good bash at this last night!

I started on PS4 Pro / 1080p monitor, but it crashed twice and started struggling with connections so switched to XO for the remainder of the evening.

Overall, 8.5/10, still a little room for improvement, but so far the career is much better as everyone has noted (obviously not perfect!, but a nice step forward)

The biggest improvement are the textures/lighting are a step up from D1 and really add a good dimension to the game, I feel far more part of the environment than before..

Well done (so far) Bungie..

 

[Jblanks]

Hmm at first look it doesn't look like they changed anything with Hunters 3rd subclass.

Pretty upset tbh.

 

[hydruxo]

The great thing is there's Reward Loops for each subset activities

Yes grinding and doing same activities will get tiring, but the Loot aspect is now more rewarding cause each feeds into the other

Earn tokens and destination materials, use for Rep Rank Up packages through Lost Sectors, PTE, HVT, Adventures Raid, Strikes, Crucible

Use Legendary Dupes as Legendary Shards for upgrades and Xur Currency

While all that's happening ever level up after 20 earn a free cosmetic Engram that you can earn more rewards


So grinding pays off, casual still can catch up cause the cycle isn't vicious at holding multiple currencies and materials


Hardcore get more out of it in the long run, but casuals don't feel "left behind"

Yeah they absolutely nailed the reward loop. The token system works really well.

 

[Marvel]

Maybe that'll learn you not to bark so much.

Lmao fucker

Idon't see you on my roster, you online? team up with my rookie titan.

 

[Jinjo]

Don't you get blood bound on it by default now? That is a pretty good buff.

All in they didn't change much for the subclasses aside from the 3 retweaked ones.

Lmao fucker

I'm online but PSN doesn't seem to agree.

 

[madquills]

Enjoying it so far but I'm pretty stunned there's no raid at launch and - am I right in saying ONE PvP playlist?

Has anyone started onthe end game? Because, right now from what I'm hearing, there isn't one. And I don't feel happy having paid 55 quid for an 8 hour 'campaign', some open world grinding and then having to wait months for the rest of the content. And if they charge for the raid as DLC....I will feel like such a sucker.

 

[chogidogs]

I somehow convinced myself that once I reached 20, I'd be getting level 20 weapons. Of course, I'm wrong. I was so stupid to dream.

Have you played the first one? Raid didn't drop until a month I think. Also, grinding was all there was in Destiny 1. Atleast it's alot more streamline now and presented way better.

Ohhhh, I loved 1v1 in Modern Warfare. It'd work great in this if the multiplayer levels weren't so cut and paste.

Hmm maybe, I didn't see anything about it. Things like Gunslinger getting 6 shots or Stromcaller getting those little arc minions for you and your fireteam are pretty decent changes.

The raid is coming on the 13th.
