There a Drunk Destiny Fireteam right now? I accidentally drunk too many beers. It wasn't a good idea but I'm sleepy but I don't feel like going to sleep. Drunk Raid anyone?

GB nailed it. This is exactly what I feel about Destiny.

Don't know if positive or negative connotations. Better than getting in a wreck somewhere.

When you say Gamespot you mean Giancarlo Varinnini because Gamespot official probably doesn't think that about the game. It's the same way Brad at Giantbomb is the only person on the staff that cares about the game that way.

good read and i agree.
I agree too. Even if it sounds crazy sometimes I am glad that the game doesn't have more content. I already play the game far too much as is and if they had something of the scope of say a WoW or maybe a Mass Effect universe scale I would completely lose myself in this game.

I guess since it was published on GB, edited it to GB.

I think he put GB for "Giantbomb" as this was posted on their site. But, I think that it is a testament to how hard Destiny hits for those who do love it that Brad was able to get Destiny on Giantbomb's official top ten list. Alex was a tougher fight than Crota^^
Huh? How would that be negative? All about the positive here in 2015!

I can agree mostly but the question of where I'll be when a sequel comes - or even more DLC - still remains to be seen; I've enjoyed what I have but I've already paid for it, there's far too many things wrong to be there day one next time.
The "..." threw me off.
POSITIVITY FOR 2015 !! Shit, my next Nightfall drop is going to be a Gjallerhorn. Believe it!

Hmmmm. True. There have been sequels that fail to address feedback (Assassin's Creed 3?), but most sequels fix and improve at least most common complaints. I have faith in Bungie's ability to correct course in Destiny 2 and give us that generation defining game, but two to three years is a long way off and they need to start trying out their ideas for improvement and growth in these future DLCs. Not enough turn around time for Dark Below and House of Wolves, but there will be more DLC by September 2015 and they need to show us that they heard and are on the right track for Destiny 2. They have a hell of a large audience for a new IP (largest yet in the industry), but now is time to keep us and make it grow^^

32! My Titan and hunter are one piece and many shards away now. At least I'm ready for hard CE now.

That makes no sense. I would rather have more content. Doing the same shit over and over is far from ideal
I agree somewhat with Gianluca but the gameplay got old for me a while back. For me new weapons, especially exotics kept the game fresh for me. Since I have every weapon from the base game and non of the DLC exotics interest me the gameplay has gotten old. What's kept me going is the great people I've met playing the game. The community has been great.
I agree completely. I already paid upfront for the dark below and house of wolves so I'll play them both. But I feel like I'm going to quit this game sooner rather than later. I just feel like my time investment into the vanilla game was disrespected. In addition, the new raid is far less fun to do than the old raid. I've already upgraded every exotic I could want. I just need boots from CE to hit 32. But CE is less fun than the VoG. So I find myself asking, what's the point?
IMHO, they should not have raised the level cap until Destiny 2. There is so little content that it was a huge mistake. All weapons except the mythoclast and necrochasm should be limited to 300 damage. Both raids limited to level 30. CE raid armor and weapons should have just provided great benefits in that raid to make them desirable. That would be reason enough for me to do the new raid. That would allow people to have a bigger variety of top tier weapons and more interesting combos of top tier armor. Imagine VoG, CE, HoW and IB armor and weapons all allowing level 30 and fantastic and unique builds. Every DLC expansion on destiny 1 should have allowed more ways to hit 30 and more content for level 30s to experience. We would have had many more unique item combos, multiple raids to do every week, etc. Instead we have more limited end game content than ever (CE is so much shorter than VoG) and new destiny owners only have a raid that gives lower level items than tower vendors'. I just think it would be so much better if new content were additional rather than a worse replacement for what we had.
Sorry for my drunken New Years rant. But I feel like this game got smaller when it should have expanded.
I just hit 150 crucible marks, went shopping at all the vendors, then realized that I don't really want any of the offerings. None of the handguns compare to fatebringer, none of the scouts compare to VoC, and none of the special or heavy compare to what I already have either... damn, well i guess I'll just sit on em for now...

Buy the Saterinne Rapier (however you spell it), scout rifle that has the same perks as Fatebringer. I'm saving up for it myself but all reports are that it is pretty groovy.

Rapier is awesome
It reloads so fast
has firefly
and max range if you want
I'm a big fan of scout rifles since it reminds me of halo 2

God damnit! The second day in a row where I fucking passed out while trying to do the double bounty trick.
Fuck it. I'm done trying.

I took a look at the app the other day and at 177 hours I have now played more Destiny than every JRPG (my favorite genre) I played on the PS3 combined. Something about this game really speaks to me...

Starting 2015 off right with a legendary engram!
Two Ascendant Energies, nothing has changed.
I just started this game after not being able to get to it for a few month. Made a character at first but wasn't really happy with it so I didn't take anything from the postmaster. (which had some CE items and something from Dark Below)
After making a new character and deleting the old one, it seems the mailbox is tied to character instead of account and everything is gone. I did find 2 emblems, a purple aircraft and a purple Ghost shell in the special shop, but w/e else and the Dark Below things are gone.
Did I miss anything important?

Everything I've heard says that sync plate deaths do not count, only once darkness zone hits... but I sure as hell wouldn't risk it if I were you. Nobody should really be dying there anyway and it takes 2 minutes to go to orbit and come back. With the Templar glitches that have been popping up added onto the baseline difficulty of the achievement itself, there's no reason to take even a tiny chance on it.

After hitting rank 4 of Eris, it's made me all the more aware of how shitty her bounties were mostly. I still check to see what she has for general XP but the amount I pass up on is a good proportion of whats on offer.
I'll be level 32 in 2 more raids (weeks essentially) as I've 4 more nodes to upgrade on my armour. So close yet so far away still, but at least it's a guarantee, rather than waiting forever and a day to get the armour from VoG.
In fact, if I was still waiting for the game to throw me a bone (the VoG Raid helm), I would have only hit level 30 this week (and I got 2 of them at the same time to add any insult to injury).
Also I think I'm done doing the VoG now until Bungie decide they're not going to throw multiples or mostly random drops and fix it to how the CE raid works. I'm only after Fatebringer really and perhaps the Raid Pulse Rifle (just for collectors).
It would be nice though if Bungie changed the AssMats you get from doing the Dark Below Daily to the RadMats instead. AssMats are practically useless now, well getting more are anyways.

Best bet for you is to let me do it for you LOL
Surely there's another Queens Wrath event due soon?

That shit ain't coming back till House of Wolves, they fucked that event bad
No clue. The scheduling is so vague.
That event has been in the oven so long now that I'm sure it is burnt to a cinder.

Last thing I heard official from Bungie was that it was "going back into the shop" in order to completely re-do it since it sucked so bad the first time. No time frame given for its (I assume) eventual return. I'm sure they want to have a complimentary PvE event along with IBanner.

So far we've gotten Iron Banner I think 3 times, Queen's Wrath Once
What was bad about it the last time? I remember actually liking it because the chest and helmet actually got me to 28 which got me into the VOG.
