Guys, I swear I saw an image of a tweet in this thread yesterday that showed a dev saying you can talk to someone in the Tower after a mission to receive all the loot you missed? Did I read incorrectly? Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I couldn't seem to find anyone like that last night.
 
Is there a way to party up with people you randomly come across in the wild? Like a fire team invite button I'm missing?
Get your crosshair over a person, and then press R3
A little thingy should pop up that says Interact/OPTIONS
With that thingy floating, press OPTIONS and you will see the menu for invites for that person

The Postmaster will collect all Uncommon and higher ranked loot you did not pick up from a mission/exploration and you will be able to pick it up there

Postmaster, at the kiosk to the left as you spawn in.

The Postmaster...if there's loot you miss it will go to them as "Lost" and you pick it up there

R3 when you're close to another guardian.

Get close to the person, hit R3 I think or options and it opens a menu to invite the person to a fireteam

Boom thanks dudes. Knew I was missing something obvious.

I know the feeling, man. I know the feeling.

I know right, Oh well least the weather here in the UK is for once amazing,

I see these people every weekend haha. But one of them is moving so it'd be rude of me to
not show up. Plus alcohol and stuff so it'll be fun.

Yeah it'll be fine, plus will give your eyes a break, don't want them to fall out now do we?

Ehh I've made plenty of time for people recently. For me playing destiny (or any other game) with buddies is more fun than sitting around at a bar/party with other buddies

This is also true, I do sometimes love a good gaming night with my pals lan party style.
Yeah Bars are alright, but I have a loathing for house parties, I always feel somewhat trapped in....

I feel the need to gush about a subtle but awesome feature I noticed last night: Auto Rifles seem to detect if you're trying to do single shots, and they adjust their rate of fire slightly to make it easier. Whoever at Bungie thought of this has my eternal gratitude.

At the beginning of the game I started doing single shots and it took a bit before I realized it even had auto firing. It is a really neat feature.

I know they desperately wanted to inject some star power into this game with Dinklage, but it really would have worked better if they hired a 'regular' professional voice actor.

Dinklage just sounds bored, uninspired and unconvincing. The robot effects do very little to change that.
Imagine a professional voiceactor delivering a GlaDOS- or Wheatly-like narration or an actual semi-convincing voiceover. It would have improved the game tenfold.

Hiring Dinklage was a bad idea, his performance in GoT is legendary, but he just doesn't fit here at all.

I concur!

The Ghost character feels like they wanted Cortana-like character in the game without making it seem like they wanted a Cortana like character in the game...

When it would be just been better to have a Cortana rip off in the game. I dislike Dinklage in the game.

A lot of people keep saying it feels like Peter is coming off a little bit short of the mark.

THIS IS A JOKE

What if instead of the cube Dinklage, it was a cortana hologram but with Dinklage instead? dressed in a power suit or something. You can even customize him to have less clothes if you so desire. Then it can just run around by your side like the pets in WoW and D3.

Played for about 5 hours last night. Such a blast with a good group. Not enjoying Titan too much though. I think I may start a warlock again soon. This game is going to take up so much time once it's out.

I like GHOST I think Dinklage did pretty good. It gives a certain tone that seems to fit the game world.

its not witty or joking..

It's also not interesting or convincing sounding.

It can almost hear him rolling his eyes whenever he mentions lore shit like fallen or wizards. Like he's thinking: "What the fuck am I even saying, this shit is for extreme nerds."

Obviously that's not the case and i'm exaggerating, but either go actually robotic, or speak with a touch of flair and interest. Right now i'm just carrying around a bored Peter Dinklage trapped in a holocube.

I actually think that, for once, a game will live up to the ridiculous amount of hype placed upon it.

I'm absolutely loving this game. Loving it.

It's almost too good.

Not much room for humor in this game. The tone is very self serious. Doesn't really bother me but the game has this air of epic self-aware grandiosity to it. Needs a little levity.

Welp, sad to see the PVP is exactly the same as Shadow Falls, unload a full clip into another player, he just stands there laughing and one shots you. Fuck that.

Tried to do Devil's Lair with 2 people (PUG).

I don't recommend it, we wiped so many times.... finally got to the Walker, 3rd try got it to about 5% HP then BOOM! .... rocket in the kisser.

Rage quit ensued,

This is my tale of woe.

The cutscene you get when you first view the Traveler at the Tower, with the smooth-talking robed robot talking all kinds of ominous nonsense. Cringeworthy, almost.

I just don't think Bungie have very good writers, sadly.

Still! Game is very, very awesome and I can't wait to play more. I just wish they'd nail these parts a little better.

You do realize he plays character in a show about dragons and was a villain in X-Men right?
