1. Glimmer is main currency for buying upgrades, gear, vanity stuff etc.

2. Materials like Spinmetal (there is others too) are raw material that can be used for upgrades, sold for cash or reputation. I would hold on to them and use them for gear upgrades when needed.

3. Token [Vanguard or Crucible] are gained by doing quests for them, PvP etc. You can gain 100 / week. Used to buy gear.

4. Motes of Light are "end-game currency" that are gained through gaining XP at level 20. Used to buy gear.

5. There is also items called "Strange Coin" that you should hold on to

Thanks. Isn't rep more important than upgrades, though? Is there a reason to upgrade weapons if they're not legendary or the top rank?

 

[Cuphead]

Could you confirm if the spec lock-in option is now extinct or is it still there?

what's that?

YES.

I'd pay a lot of money for that..

 

[SDCowboy]

Yeah, it'd be amazing if this was included in with the game. I'd probably frame it.

I'd frame it too, which is why I wouldn't want it included with the game because the creases would suck. It should be in their store.

 

[Spaulding]

Has Amazon shipped anyones PS4 copy yet? They shipped out my XBone version on Sunday but no update on my PS4 version. Seems kinda odd that they did that.

Nope

Delivery #1: Preparing for Dispatch

 

[Respect]

what's that?

During the Beta on the far right of the talent trees there was a "lock" option for your spec, was supposed to make you choices for the subclasses permanent, but give boosted stats...recent info seems to indicate this is now gone, but was never confirmed.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I guess if there's nothing to explore they can hardly call it explore mode.

More like patrol mode where all you do is shoot creatures and do boring missions.

Technically I think that would be more exploring than patrol. If it's that boring.

There's clearly plenty of real estate to explore, but little of interest to patrol.

 

[Marvel]

Has Amazon shipped anyones PS4 copy yet?

Yeah, but it looks like my LE won't arrive until tomorrow.

 

[EroticSushi]

Nope

Delivery #1: Preparing for Dispatch

Well I just checked and my XBone version that was shipped yesterday is now showing a delivery date of the 10th. Surprised Amazon screwed up a delivery date delivery. Bit worried now that my PS4 verison won't make it tomorrow.

 

[Stoze]

Here's the thing about Patrol missions, though.

Like, for sure, it sucks that you have to go into a separate mode and not just chip away at them while doing story stuff or whatever, but it seems like they've just formalized grinding. It's repetitive but you're creeping towards cooler shit.

The thing is, based on the beta the patrol missions weren't even that good for grinding. The best way to get exp and gear was replaying the level 8 strike. The randomized missions themselves were only good for getting materials. We'll have to see if that's changed in the full game.

 

[bakeray]

Does the region change work for unlocking pre-orders?

Oh I haven't noticed, I'll keep an eye out.

 

[super-famicom]

what's that?



I'd pay a lot of money for that..

Lock in is an option you have once you spec your subclass build the way you want it. Locking in your choices gives you a boost to health/recovery/speed and grants you a copy of that same subclass which levels up faster. Is this still in the game?

 

[purg3]

I'd frame it too, which is why I wouldn't want it included with the game because the creases would suck. It should be in their store.

If there's a higher res version, could probably get it printed at a FedEX Kinkos and then frame it.

 

[Kajiba]

My iphone wallpaper as of now.

 

[TUSR]

So do the Wireless Gold headsets transmit the game audio when plugged into the controller/wirelessly?

As in I don't need speakers with my monitor?

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Elzar pls respond to this

God dammit, you just made me look like a fool!

 

[Pierate]

Should be getting my (PS4) Limited Edition tomorrow, so excited dammit.

Probably going Hunter, Bladedancer sounds like fun.

 

[Skele7on]

Found that wallpaper here.

I am by the way sorting out a few things, some drawings ect.

Yes Respect internet is ready to go!

 

[Blue Ninja]

This is gonna be my only post in this OT.

But I'm proud of you right now.

<3

 

[XblogPSN]

Anyone have a preview of all multiplayer maps ?
have you seen a twitch stream with only multiplayer ? Many thanks

 

[SDCowboy]

If there's a higher res version, could probably get it printed at a FedEX Kinkos and then frame it.

But those crease lines would still be there.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

How is the loading times for the game compared to the alpha/beta? I understood long loads for the open world stuff, but I never understood why crucible matches took as long as they did. Hope they fixed that.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Yeah. We'll see. I haven't played the Beta so I really don't know.

 

[MMaRsu]

don't know why it shows me the german Title, I bought it on the US PS Store and my PS4 is also set to english Language

Lol 16 hrs fuck me lol. Oh well ill play tomorrow

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Where'd you find this?

[Arukado]

My copy just shipped.

 

[Tovarisc]

Thanks. Isn't rep more important than upgrades, though? Is there a reason to upgrade weapons if they're not legendary or the top rank?

If they haven't changed how much rep / spinmetal you get then turning them in for rep isn't worth it. You would need so sick amounts of it that you are better off by doing 1-2 quests or PvP matches and get way more faction rep.

Holding on to it for possible upgrade use was better than low value turn ins.

And yes, it's beneficial to upgrade your armor and weapons. You get stuff like better sights, larger mags, easier to control recoil, can carry more ammo, more armor etc.

my last romp in destiny

 

[NoTacos]

Not unless you downloaded from the New Zealand store.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

I got notified yesterday by amazon both my Ghost editions were going out- PS4 and XB1

both in transit to Southern jersey

-hype

 

[MasterForm]

Just launched the Alpha to no avail. My thirst is real. Sony pls.

 

[MistaPropella]

Awesome man, thanks a lot

 

[IronRinn]

What the heck, just checked the status of my Amazon order for the Ghost Edition and it's saying delivery date is Thursday? I thought Prime got release date delivery?

 

[Papercuts]

So do the Wireless Gold headsets transmit the game audio when plugged into the controller/wirelessly?

As in I don't need speakers with my monitor?

Yeah, there's a setting where you can make it chat only or game audio + chat.

 

[Cuphead]

Awesome man, thanks a lot

Enjoy!
Add me if you have PSN!

There's clearly plenty of real estate to explore, but little of interest to patrol.

It sucks because I was really hyped during the alpha and beta. The only reason I really want this is pvp....

 

[squidhands]

Thanks so much!

 

[pokeystaples]

Give them a call. Customer service is usually really good.

Hmm...looking at that, it appears the crease lines are part of the art. In any event, amazing work in there.

What I meant is wouldn't be better to hold on to upgrading until you get some of the better weapons in the game since there will always be better loot coming.

 

[DJ Lushious]

From what I have been reading here, based on the Twitch streams, it appears to be exactly the same.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

What the heck, just checked the status of my Amazon order for the Ghost Edition and it's saying delivery date is Thursday? I thought Prime got release date delivery?

It most certainly should. Did you pick the right delivery option though?

 

[N° 2048]

Can't stop staring at the countdown at work. Guys. Send help.

 

[Illusive_Juan]

Weird. I have a disc copy of the game and I'm able to play. However, when I try to make game clips, it doesn't show them on Xbox.com. I can upload them through the YouTube app, but they show up as "Video" instead of Destiny.

 

[J-P]

So do the Wireless Gold headsets transmit the game audio when plugged into the controller/wirelessly?

As in I don't need speakers with my monitor?

Audio is transmitted wirelessly via a usb dongle. If the headset battery is dead you can plug them into the controller for audio via a provided cable.

 

[lionelhutz]

Can you post a pic of the back cover?

 

[EroticSushi]

What the heck, just checked the status of my Amazon order for the Ghost Edition and it's saying delivery date is Thursday? I thought Prime got release date delivery?

Mine says Weds the 10th. Ordered it via Delivery Date shipping too. Contacted them and they said to just wait it out. Seems they can't do much once it's out the door. Hope my PS4 version comes on time at least.

 

[Conrad Link]

I think we just unlocked multiplayer!

[MistaPropella]

You're supposed to be in both groups. You cannot set the primary as your clan though.

Ah okay, then I'm already set.
