Destiny 2 |OT| Here We Go Again

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.
Most MMOs don't launch with a raid because they want everybody to have a chance to get geared. It's standard practise to wait a week or two before patching raid content in.

Most mmos even with much more complicated raid mechanics have proper raid matchmaking by now.

Also whoever said pick the
warlock wings
screw you. These things look so stupid and I'm stuck with them. Its like a bad toddlers halloween outfit.
 
Played a couple hours and then the girlfriend's contractions started and we headed to the hospital. Waiting in the room to see how long until a new game enters the world :)

Calling the baby Ghaul mate :) congrats to you both!

your gaming time just reduced a fair shot :(
 
Sweet, thanks, I didn't know about most of that, all seems reassuring. Let's also hope they bring back Sparrow Racing and something like Prison of Elders in the near future, paid or otherwise ! :)
I’d give SRL a fairly good chance of making into the game as a seasonal event like the first time around (part of a Christmas update or something).

A Prison of Elders style arena though? That, if at all, would probably be in an expansion. The game has potential for a cool horde mode, hopefully it lives up to that potential.
 
So that ending and fight with
Ghaul
was quite anti-climatic. I will agree with the sentiment that this campaign was incredibly easy, should have been able to choose heroic versions. Very nice tease after the credit sequence for lore buffs though and new
Tower
:O
 
We (best friend and I) can't really make up wether to get this or not.

We're generally not huge fans of shooters but we we like Overwatch and Borderlands (a reason might be that aiming skills are not that important)
And we dislike Battlefield, Call of Duty, etc.

You should be fine then. D2 lacks the tempo of COD and Battlefield. I've played lots of Titanfall 2 and the difference in speed is amazing. Destiny is sloooow BUT fun!
 
Really enjoyed what I played last night.

But is it just me, or does it seem like there's less...secrets and stuff than Taken King onwards Destiny?

Like remember all the things you collected around the Dreadnought that eventually became that badass fusion rifle, the keys that unlocked chests about in the world that had platforming puzzles attached to them.

That kind of stuff?

Finished the game and have not come across ANY collectables or secrets.

Wondering the same thing.

Congrats mate, my little one is now 7 weeks old. It's the best moment in your life for sure but get your Destiny game time in when she's asleep you gotta be quick and work to baby's timetable

People complained about it. "I don't want to collect things for x". Bungie seems to listen to the most stupid complaints.

And Sony, come on now. I have no problems understanding that there might be issues for an hour or so. Shit happens. But we're at 8(?) hours now. It's getting embarrasing.

I can understand them taking out pointless collectables like Ghosts (although me and plenty of others did enjoy grabbing them)

but the more obscure ones introduced in Taken king went down a storm.

I wonder wether their pipeline is better now and they can introduce more things like the secret areas in the weekly strike. Stuff like that.

Wasn't even just the collectibles. But like when you'd have a sat key drop. Then go to somewhere else in the map and that made certain enemies spawn. Kill those and get something and it gave you access to a new event. Do the whole 'hidden quest' chain and you got loot. Was cool as fuck discovering that stuff.

The raid is included on the disc it's just disabled for a week to let people gear up.

Same as most mmos

2 playlists, quick and competitive

On the 15th the premiere pvp end game activity (trials) opens up

There are a few other d1 end game pieces we haven't heard about yet, iron banner sparrow racing etc

Nightfalls are open now also

Yeah. Might be things we havent seen yet though. There's a spot at nessus I can't figure out, and cant find anything solid about it online either.

Finally in!

They are there. I've found one in the social space. An 'investigate' button prompt will come up when you're near and the it gives you a tiny bit of exposition. Don't know if these are recorded anywhere.

They just seem to be the replacement for grimoire. Them talking about you getting the lore in game.

Honestly, another thing they bungled.

People liked grimoire, just not having to read it on a separate app. Just have a grimoire tab in game, ya dummies.
 
Haven't been able to login in for two hours now. I got kicked out of patrol and haven't been able to get passed the character select screen. Frustrating.

Yep, it's underwhelming.
 
Restarting my router got rid of the appear offline, but still can't connect to Destiny, restarting console now, if that doesn't work I'll try leaving both off for a while.
 
Ok stupid question, is there a kiosk or something similar for exotics?, and if not should we just get rid of non level 20 exotics?

There is a collections tab in the vault which lists them, but I've not tried nuking an exotic and going there to get it back yet.

Edit - infusion is still a thing so I've been hanging on to mine.
 
Really strange how they gated the
sparrows
in that you have to complete the story for them. Could have easily intregrated getting access to them in an early story mission.
 
Inspecting things for lore has been in destiny since ttk.

It's obviously not the only thing to replace the grimiore, as you can get story in a few places.
 
Router restart worked for me now too. Left PS4 on during the entire time.

I doubt it was really the router though, but for those trying keep doing that. A few restarts did it.
 
I really need to stop looking outside the OT for destiny dear lord. Everyone is looking for literally everything to make a new thread and just completely shit on the game. God damn the salt outside about us folks enjoying a hell of a game is fucking appalling.

Last night I wasted hours on EDZ and Titan just going around doing chests, lost sectors and adventures and it's been amazing. Some lost sectors are absolutely huge and we found a cave that was pitch black but lit up with stars and jellylike looking things. Took a screenshot on the Xbox and it was so pretty. Hope I see more areas like that.

Only disappointing thing is getting tokens and turning them in only to realize everything is level 20 lol, I have to stare at the quest icon for the NPC now because they are going to hold an engram for me for 10 levels
