You can, but my experience the last couple months sololeave you wanting more. It's best with others, outside of campaign…I like running that solo. What system you on?

disagree, super hyped. Weapon crafting, expanded subclass customization, origin traits, tuning. Lots of new things and perfect time to jump in

Yes, but also you don't need to know anyone personally. There is an app that makes it extremely easy to group up for nearly every activity imaginable, even raids if you're willing to communicate and be patient.
Just take the game at your own pace, there can be a pressure to rush through everything to reach max level, ignore it. Enjoy what you want when you want, there are always people doing whatever it is you're doing at the time you're doing it, that's the beauty of Destiny.

Yeah I mostly spend my time in discord or reddit when it comes to Destiny.

Here is the new GAF clan
Robot Carnival
and I set up…
www.bungie.net
Crossplay is fine with me so all platforms are allowed, and no dumb requirements or anything, though at least text chat would probably be preferable in high level content.
I'll try to send out invites to those who posted IDs later on. If anyone else wants in, just ping me.

you can play most of the in game activities solo. it's still an online game so some of the activities will put you into auto match making teams. some of the end game activities will require you in a team thou, preferably a team that can communicate with each other.

Defintely. They have a fireteam search for their mobile app/website if you want to complete group activities.

Sure can. Though it is MUCH better with friends.

Main PS5 but have it linked with my Series X account too. Same character across both.

Damn finally in, I really want to play legendary but don't want to be frustrated my first playthrough since it'll be just me atm.

This is my big issue with cross play. Console players have to suffer through in game chat (crap for ps-pc groups), or need to have multiple devices nearby for third party chat devices.

What's your psn? I can shoot ya a friend request and try to help out with stuff after the initial dust settles for this campaign I'll never get into

PATHETIC that another new Destiny 2 content release that has server issues.
Dthomp
Member
Yup, 7 years of the same crap. You know day 1 of dlc is the busiest day, you'd think they open up a few more servers or whatever. They got theirs and Sony money now, let's stop being bush league

I was going to get it, then I realized all the other expansions don't come with it.My body is ready.
Yeah not paying $300 to play a 5/10 game. Unless that changed. Think my Light level is still 1300+
Dthomp
Member
His game is way past due for a Taken King level of reset (why do our guns need to go to 1500?) and a complete edition version of the game with smaller file sizes so that maybe they'd stop removing a third of the game every paid dlc.

I literally lost access to one of Sub-Classes.

Beyond Light + The Witch Queen is really all you need to jump in right now (Beyond Light due to Stasis and I think it is on sale right now).

I might just pick it up. I reached 1300 something. Been playing with my friend. So annoying that PC to XSX cross-play has mic issues.

HDR is supposed to be better but is F-ed
Dthomp

Cross play has mic issues with all the platforms. Tried doing a dungeon with a pc guy and another ps guy. Heard the ps guy just fine, barely could hear any of what the pc guy was saying. It sucks, but it's the reason I prefer to stick with same console players when I can

I swear hdr has been broken since destiny 1. I don't even try to turn it on anymore. So much of the game is super dark already, then add in extra super dark from hdr and everything is a cave

It was great for me before this.

usually I would be playing some brain dead stuff in game while I WFH, but since this is new expansion and new content, I'll just wait until I'm off work and give it my full attention instead.

Its not for you. Its for the no-life streamers.Love that there is so limited time to level for day 1 raid and I'll get to spend three hours in the que not playing the game….sweet

Finally got in and played the first mission. Seems pretty cool so far!
However, this orb change is absolutely dreadful, and IMO the worst thing they've done since sunsetting. I predict it's going to get a ton of backlash and eventually be changed.

I actually like it, orbs were far too easy to get over and over again. There are helmet mods now that can be equiped to make them
Dr. Samuel Hayden

I currently have the kinetic one equipped. The thing I don't like are the others where you have to match element types. If it was just one or two mods that covered all weapons I'd have been fine with it.
I just read the patch notes... they nerfed Protective Light too. I think this whole thing was them nerfing the entire orb system without actually coming out and saying it.
Having said that, it's still cool to FINALLY be making orbs with Thorn.

Cool. Also with the Witch Queen, you will be bumped up to 1350. I've only played with a friend on PC once where I was using a mic and I think we were just using discord. But I do use the D2 companion app to do raids where you usually need a mic so I am sure I have joined up with people on the PC etc. What sort of issues have you experienced?

He can hear me, but I can't hear him. Works on Discord, but it's a pain in the ass because he uses a TV. So he has to use phone for disc.

I don't think any main activity from Beyond Light is getting vaulted. Unless I missed that news?
I know Forsaken campaign (not BL) is gone and we lose access to activities tied to the previous seasons (Presage/Harbinger). Exotic weapons you can get from the Monument of Light so those aren't gone, gone.
Oh weird. That is definitely odd. If you guys try again, see if the chat settings were set to Fireteam vs Team chat — you and your friend would be considered Fireteam and your team is basically who you both are grouped up with (unless it was just you two.) If that wasn't the issue, then yeah, that's weird and hopefully its fixed.

In Florida and on vacation doing the Disney thing. First launch I ever missed but will be ready to jump in Thursday morning. Liking what i read so far.

I think due to the way they deliver story now it's a lot more hyped in the community. (People that play daily, read up on Reddit, listen to the podcasts, etc etc) compared to people who only play AAA that only come out once a year

Same. I am really enjoying it so far.
