Well then, that's odd. Wonder why they have differing midnight release times for games?

Gaaaah this shit is aggravating. I go digital in hopes being able to play this crap at 12:00 AM as if it was a midnight release but nope. *sigh*

If you're serious about the kidney damage/potential damage, don't go too overboard on the caffeine/Monster drinks.
Stay healthy man! better to play for years without any medical concerns than overnight even once.
I'm talking about "Destiny Companion" version 3.0.5 from the iOS app store. It's only available as native on iPhone. The iPad version is stretched.

Others have compared to something called Paragon Levels in Diablo 3.. but I stopped playing that well before they were added so I'm not sure how apt a comparison it is.
Realistically, it's like an alternate way to have gear score, it's just easier to parse at a glance than typical gear score since it adds to the level above your character rather than being some large and arbitrary number like "1800 gear score to Raid" or whatever.

nice new avatar man- :0)
I think most felt this way...I liked him though, reminded me of Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Ohhhhhhh!
I was talking about the playstation app
A destiny iPad app would be awesome.
My guess is it's a bit of an artificial filter so the servers don't get crushed tonight.
Lmao thanksFine you get your avatar quote.
If you're serious, I think the thread should be more concerned with your well being rather than mine lol
What is blue monster anyways? No carb/decaf blend?
I would, (live in WA) but I'm job searching and don't want to spoil my chances.
RESPONSIBILITY YO
Not even close, but caffeine and taurine can be an issue for people who already have kidney issues.
That seems like a functional enough difference for me to get on board. I'm intrigued at least. If it ultimately feels arbitrary I might not be able to make myself care about it but I certainly like the idea of increasing my "actual level" past 20 with items rather than "working on my gearscore."

I think it's the "diet" version. No sugar/carbs.
Fair enough!
I'll roll one in your honor!
From what I can tell Hawk, it's kinda similar to GW2's skill points in the sense that once you hit max level you continue to earn something to spend on stuff. But rather than buying skills it seems to be boosted gear, and instead of gaining it through "levelling up" it's randomly acquired through play once you hit the cap or something? Info on it is kinda vague at the minute. But from the looks of it, it's something you spend on super gear to become more powerful whilst sticking at the same level. Legendary/Ascended or whatever
Edit: Spotted this in an IGN video:

Yep, low carb, has caffeine though and thats how I get it since I don't drink coffee. Honestly I chose blue because it is the best tasting one IMO, I can care less about the carbs. Oh and I'm not drinking them all lol, I have 1 a day though.
Maybe they were experimenting before, it looks like now all games will release at Midnight PDT.

Such Hype
It'll be required to some extent. I think they said you can't enter the raid unless you are level 25.
About a year old Haha but thanks!
Listening to the OST right now - it is ridiculously good. How they didn't include a disc in the Ghost Edition is beyond me
it should come with the vinyl soundtrack that the ghost plays

Been playing blazed the last few hours.
Basically did it cause i knew all the Beta stuff so i didnt mind going through it again high as fuck.
But now i got shit to do and cant keep the high going.
Will be more blazed(hopefully) in the next two hours for another sesh of Destiny.
Beware randomly bumping into people on the tower and having a dance party will give you the giggles for 30 minutes if you aint blazed in a while(like me)
Maybe it's so the servers don't take as much of a beating? Less people will probably play it at 3am on the East coast than if they released it at midnight EST.
Oh yeah. I love the PSN iPad app. Makes it super easy to add DGAFfers.

The way it actually increases your character level up to a "hard" cap is what strikes me as unique. I've never really encountered that in a game before, so I'm intrigued as to how it feels in practice.From what I can tell Hawk, it's kinda similar to GW2's skill points in the sense that once you hit max level you continue to earn something to spend on stuff. But rather than buying skills it seems to be boosted gear, and instead of gaining it through "levelling up" it's randomly acquired through play once you hit the cap or something?

Not that I'll be rushing to 20 by any stretch, anyway.
I'm surprised you don't have to be 30 for it.
I was very pleased with how much the beta allowed you to compensate with skill for being "low level" compared to the situation, and I hope that continues throughout.

This was already known, I believe. I read about it on a thread here after the beta was done. Something about some guy leaking a bunch of information or something, idk.
