So yeah Truant your opinion holds some weight in my opinion and Im sad I bought this digitally. Should have gone physical so i could sell it when I get bored of it.
It sounds like ALL the bad shit from the alpha and beta still remains.

Ok, you guys win. Pre-ordered and preloading now.
I just hope there's a lot more to the single player stuff than the alpha and betas let on. That was my only concern going in.

Yes, it downloads in the background.

What'd you expect lol
The vanguard quarter master. He is at the ship yard. Sells some decent weapons but nothing to write home about. As always with this pre-order bullshit. The content is always shit.
Just get in your car and go get it
This is the digital version only?

What if I get there and it's left already
Isn't the vanguard stuff just supposed to be somewhat better starter gear? Seems like an OK bonus to me.
Apparently, since a lot of people seem to be playing it.
Its fucking stupid. If the servers are up, let me play it at midnight for my timezone, not some other country's.
explain.
i'm actually glad though, as it was just too easy. i wasnt planning on farming it, but i know my will power is weak and i'm sure i would have eventually (2-3 days max, lol!)
that's the part that worried me, im not really into MP so i was expecting the game would have a decent single player campaign but it seems many people have the same complaint, to bad i cant cancel the preorder, guess im just gonna let it expire and that's that

I personally didn't really expect them to have huge changes from the Beta to the retail game but the fact that when designing the game the only mission type they designed is what we saw in the Beta I.E all the missions on earth and the one on the moon is pretty shocking. What was going through their mind when they thought hold square to deploy ghost, then defend ghost was the only kind of variety they needed? That's just baffling.
Well I haven't played the game and I'll be playing it tomorrow but I think people were expecting the missions in the beta to be just the intro and basic missions but and as you go further in the game when the retail releases, you'll see different types of mission. But the fact that most impressions about the game just keep saying the missions are still structured the same after Earth and the Moon is rather fucking disappointing and quite perplexing.
I dont understand the reason behind this? To allow the physical copy owners to play first? doesnt make sense to me. Shouldn't be the other way around?

The amount of chests that spawn is heavily reduced and the amount of glimmer you get from chests has also been reduced.
Have we ever got a solid answer as to why this is the case? It's madness.

Welcome to the world of mmo
The problems of an mmo without the joys of an mmo
FUCK YEAH!
Is there a point to roaming around and fighting enemies besides the small amount of XP? It would be cool if the game gave you dynamic challenges if a certain number of players were in the area. Say, you and some guys are fighting near each other in Old Russia, the game could give you an option to survive a few waves, or take down enemies within a certain time. If the players all help out, you're guaranteed some nice piece of gear or cash.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see the point of just hanging out with randoms right now, even if some of the emergent gameplay is kinda fun. I suspect this will die out as players get to know the game, and that's a shame. The most fun I've had right now is just running around old russia taking down lvl 8 enemies with random players just running by. It would be awesome if there was some sort of incentive for this. Like a dynamic fire team system or something for short bursts of play between beacon missions, just to keep that playful and casual type of multiplayer going.

It takes you a whole hour to eat pizza?
From the patch notes:
- "Treasure chest glimmer drop rate reduced, but added Materials to loot table. Treasure chests now have a small chance to award large drops of additional Glimmer, Materials, Engrams, and Consumables."

OK that's it, I'm going to bed. This launch has been horrible. Can't believe I stayed up late for this. Thanks for nothing, Bungie.
Get some bounties. They give you an incentive to shoot some stuff.
No, it takes me around 5 minutes. I need an hour cause I'm doing a bit of school work too.
