Bungie claims leveling up will be a lot slower in the final version versus the Beta.

"A lot slower".

There is already healthy amount of Bungie employees who are already between 20 and 26 after ~week of game time. 30th of August seems to be earliest when some started leveling up.

I'm pretty pumped to dive into the story and lore of Destiny. Absolutely loved the story in the Halo universe, and how in-depth it got. I hope Destiny is just as good.

I really don't see it being that much slower, the leveling. I'd wager level 20's by Friday. If not earlier.

Oh im sure some will simply race to 20 without paying much attention to anything else.

I'll probably hit lv. 20 in a few weeks lol. Will only get to play 1-2 hours a night maybe

Yeah but we've never found out how long it 'should' take. I'm going to guess it'll take three to four times as long.

1-6 was very fast. It seemed to slow down a good clip at 7 and 8 unless you completed bounties quickly that gave a good amount of XP.

I'm guessing you can get to lv. 10 fast, where you start getting Rare level items, and it starts to slow down a good bit from there.

These aren't my words, mind you. Plus I said "claimed". It was in one of their interviews.

Plus we don't know how long they have really been playing. It could be so many hours logged in making sure the game runs absolutely perfect, which is what they are aiming for.

I'm gonna be writing a lot of fan fiction on the love hate relationship between the three classes. Society doesn't approve but we don't care. Gotta wake up early.

We only know of the two expansions for Destiny atm. Could be more, could be Destiny 2 after that. Don't know.

I'd rather D2 was released as a series of (sizeable) downloadable expansions that can be hooked onto D1. Would suck to have to switch discs to play D1 and D2.


I'm gonna wish I'd gone digital aren't I.

I'm guessing 15-20. I think the time it takes to hit 20 will be where the actual loot game opens up, and hitting 30 will probably take longer than 1-20.

Do we know how long it should take to hit level 20? (not including server issues) Because I'm mooorrreee than likely going to max out the three classes ASAP in my days off next week.
Click to expand...

I'm gonna guess we'll hit 20 by the end of the campaign/story missions and maybe with a bit of exp though strikes, explore, etc. Soo maybe like 8-9 hours?

Having a sequel release as a near full price expansion pack would be great but something like a completely stand alone sequel would end up with a ton more improvements under the hood which would break comptability with the first release.

I sort of want both, I miss full retail expansions which did a good job at expanding a game more then just simple map packs do.

I did quick check on one developer profile. He has clocked ~2d 11h since Aug 30th. His effective level is 25 atm.

Here his time split between different activities.

Watching this Faction gear video and Future War Cult is my absolute everything. I know I throw the word WipEout around a lot but HOLY MOLY IT IS SO DAMN WIPEOUT.

And their helm. My god. It's perfect.

I'm expecting 15-20 hours or so to reach lvl 20. Depending on what you're playing... PvP will probably be a little slower I'd guess? It'll probably take a good while to max out a subclass though. I don't want to even take a guess at that.

No. I expect it to look the exact same.

Whats the lore explanation behind the crucible? Are the Guardians actually killing each other or is it a sport kind of thing.
Click to expand...

Somewhere between live-fire exercises and political disputes. Since Ghosts make revival under controlled conditions fairly easy, they use live combat as a way of settling disputes.

(I may be full of it on this; going off of bits and pieces from the map, gametype, and faction descriptions)

That's the war of thoughts raging my mind too.

I guess it might be a bit much to ask for D1 to be remastered/adapted and included in D2 huh ;p

Holy hell, 59 hours already?

Doesn't sound like a bad amount of time to me.
