Finished it today, at level 19. Did most of it solo.

I don't think I'll ever play those campaign levels again, and the Strikes don't really interest me. Other than some Crucible, I think I'm pretty much done with it until expansions come.

Hey, if anyone is interested in just running some level 24 strikes (playlist) I'm looking for some people to play with.

It's not, but what don't you understand?

It's obvious that they didn't treat it as an afterthought. They just fell short of the audience's expectations. It happens all the time.

It's disappointing but not a mystery as to how it could have ever possibly happened.

It is a mystery because its short of even low budget ios games, gameloft games have more cut scenes and story then Destiny,

For a game of this pedigree they should have seen it coming aaaageeees ago and fixed it.

I love the gunplay but the game has big flaws, things that are very basic mistakes it seems.

This took me 4.5 hours
So much shit you get out of this loop
The Nexus loop caters to crypt/legendary/materials
The Loop does all that + you power level the shit out of your Marks for your factions

Tuesday 4AM is reset, get both to 100 or before it kicks in
This video does by far the best job of explaining the route thanks. Are you just doing patrol missions to power level facton?

Anybody have a good spot to farm ascendant energy? That is what I really need as I only have 5. :/
 
Guys, has the community already figured out how elemental damage works in this game?

Arc, Void, Solar... what should I use against Fallen, Hive, Cabal and those Servidor things?

Thorn Legendary bounty/questline was absolutely fucking epic. Everything that is good about Destiny in one bounty chain.

The fact that they can do unique Strikes/missions on demand bodes very well for future content updates. Simply reusing existing assets and shaking up the content with modified enemy spawns and difficulty settings can easily provide a ton of really fun content.

If you haven't done an Epic difficulty pve mission yet, you haven't seen how nasty Destiny can get.

How do you get these exotic bounties?

I'm wondering this also, I need a bunch more for my chest.

Bungie seems to live in their own little bubble. I cannot fathom that this game wasn't focus tested. Actually, I know that it was. And yet somehow Bungie still arrived at these decisions.

Things like no in-game story, no voice chat, no matchmaking, no NPCs acknowledging your race, all the meaningless jargon constantly coming from your ghost...

Who was even asking for this stuff?

If there was prox voice in the Tower I would easily spend hours each night just hanging out with people.

Things like no in-game story
There is in-game story. Just not as much of it as in the lore. This was a design decision. I expect the story to evolve and become more apparent over the life and events in the game.

no voice chat There is voice chat. Just not the way you want it implemented. It would be nice for matchmaking chat, but Bungie was probably scared of the CoD kiddies trolling people. I'm sure Bungie is evaluating the decision and can change things if they deem necessary,

no matchmaking There is matchmaking. Just not on the harder content that would be a nightmare with pick-up groups with no voice comms. These tasks need voice coms and coordination. Time for you to be social in a social game and make some friends.

no NPCs acknowledging your race
lol.

all the meaningless jargon constantly coming from your ghost... would you prefer him to be silent? If I had a random flying robot companion with me 24 hours a day, I would hope he would say meaningless stuff every now and again to make small talk. Not everything has to be of utmost importance to the current situation.
 
Kill a shit load of things so you can level up you map card and get +2 for harvesting resources

Saw this on the OT2 and was curious as to how you do this/what a "map card" is. This poster was replying to someone complaining to how long it takes to harvest lots of Spinmetal.

Ok. Sounds like you just want someone to say "Bungie had a long list of stuff and then went through it one thing at a time, checked everything off and then the game went gold and then all of a sudden this one guy is like 'OH NO, GUYS, I DRIPPED CARAMEL ON THE LIST AND THERE'S A LAST PAGE, ON THE LAST PAGE IS A LAST BOX IT SAYS 'GOOD STORY' AND DAMN GUYS WE NEVER CHECKED THAT OFF TELL ME WE DIDN'T GO GOLD YET.'"

Is that about right?

The story is bad. They thought it was good. Not much more than that going on.

So, every day there's a new PvP playlist listed on the left side of the planet selection screen. Anyone know why? Is there an XP bonus for playing the featured list or something?

It's probably been asked a hundred times but I have to ask again.

How does the legendary stuff and the vanguard/cducible marks and factions work? I'm now level 18 and got the message, that I can get legendary armor now. How do I get these marks? What are the factions for?

So is everyone not able to connect to the servers or is this something I'm just experiencing? After the update I tried to connect again and haven't been able to.

A few people have mentioned it but it is not a large problem, I have had very little issue with the connection while playing.

I see you have a very simplistic view of how projects work.

One day we will know why this game came out this way and Im sure its not because they thought the story was good as is now today.

I did a hard reset of my xbox, and it forced the update and now I can connect. Something to try if you can't connect i guess.
