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 am wondering if they have a whole lot more planned for the story that has yet to be released.

We have areas that are "inaccessible" in game that when you glitch to are populated with enemies and seem fairly finished.

You also have
The queen telling you that she will be caling on you for special tasks
. That is a cutscene in a game that only had like 5 that I can remember, so I am really hoping it is important, especially when you look at ominous quotes like when
the stranger tells you that you should always take a side, even if it is the wrong side. There is also that fact that the Queen of the reef is definitely not clearly with the light or the dark.

On top of all that on the bungie web site
there is a special Queen of the reef event coming up. Bungie also said that there would be big new Community events coming that we have not seen. maybe they are related, maybe not.
.

Additionally when you go to
the reef area, it apears as though that map has a spot for something to select that you never get too. the only thing that you see is one icon off to the side that you only select twice. that is a whole lot of work for just two cutscenes

Here is hoping that bungie has story elements that have been held back, not for an expansion, but because they did not want the community blowing through them all in the first week. There are signs that it is possible that there is more to come, though none of them are definite.

I think I can confirm if you are doing "too good" you don't get loot. 4 or 5 matches with no loot and in one game two legendaries were given out (to 2nd and 4th place)

That is scary that you could be in the middle of a Nightfall or something and Bungie can just boot everyone without any warning.

Yup. I was legit shocked when they announced it before launch, as it seemed like the majority of GAF was all "this makes sense" "good decision" etc.

For me, with some MMO experience, it seemed like a clearly bad decision to not allow pub raid matchmaking.

I've done 25 man raids in wow years ago that were 50% + random people and it worked fine. I haven't seen anything in destiny even be as complicated as 5 man wow dungeons so I can't but think this lack of matchmaking is just to slow progression and make people with lots of gamer friends feel special.

Nope. Got legendary boots and engram from 1st place. You just have bad luck.

Oh wow. I've idled quite a few times on patrol and was never kicked until now, so I thought it was new. Maybe my dog managed to move the controller or something lol

Getting loot in pvp is random. There no reason to do good or even play since it random.

Exactly. This whole "raids require a high level of coordination" isn't untrue, but is exaggerated as a reason for leaving out pub raids.

So I just finished the campaign and I am massively underwhelmed. I can forgive things like a generic storyline if the action is great, but that final battle...uh...is that it?

There is no strategy to defeating enemies throughout the whole game, with the exception of enemies with a barrier or shield. I was expecting some epic final battle and wow what a letdown. I beat the game at level 18 so I don't think I came in overpowered or anything.

Am I missing something? I guess multiplayer is where it's at.

The more matchmaking the better.
Make this more as social as possible Bungie!

Along with the addition of more matchmaking, they really need to add automatic voice chat when players are in your vicinity. That would add so much to this game. Things are way too quiet when you're not playing with friends =/.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
When does the mark thingy reset?

How many hours from now will everything reset? I'm only 20 or so Crucible Marks from the cap and would love to get the trophy now.

Re-watching the fake as fuck trailer with voice actors makes me believe the same.
