What. If they got rid of Skirmish I'm going to be majorly sad. It's the only normal PvP list I like!

It's there right now. The four primary modes aren't likely to go anywhere.
you probably need to play and finish a rumble match before you unlock skirmish

I still feel that Control is the best. Nothing like making a bunch of fools stack up while trying to activate a node while I'm mid-air mega bombing their asses, one shotting everything :3
I just decoded three, got a whole bunch of shit.
So, take that as you will.

Been playing Destiny for 3 evenings now, liking it very well so far. Was finishing the story on Moon yesterday, but one thing kind of sours the experience:
On all the story missions on the moon I only ran into maybe 4 to 5 guys, most missions there was no other player around. Very lonely for a supposedly "social" online game... and these players all were from my country (Austria, Europa). On earth there were enough guys available, always 5 or more around....
Does anyone know if the game limits encounters with other players to your region? can I meet other europeans (or americans, or whatever)? gonna get lonely or players from smaller countries like me

They should be ashamed of themselves those dirty casuals. They should quit gaming or just stick to PvE, right?

I honestly can't wait to try out the new farming spot... Makes me want to skip school for a week and just hardcore play this shit.
I miss weekends.

I remember someone saying that the collective was one of the worst missions pages back. When I played it, I thought it was the coolest mission up to that point. Whoever you may be, why did you find it bad?
That's also known as a gateway, and gateways are pieces of shit.
Get an actual modem, and an actual router and port forward the ports that Destiny uses.
If your gateway supports it, you can also try it there as well.
It's not that bad, should only take a couple of hours. Kills are worth 5 points, and your deaths will subtract 2. Equip a Void Fusion Rifle and a Void HMG and you should be golden.

Great, my exotic bounty now wants me to kill a bunch of dudes in Crucible with Void damage weapons. This'll be fun...

So wait, what's the level for the Raid?
Bungie says 26 and implies you won't be able to get in, but then says you'll be able to get in before you're 26.
It's like..what?

What kills me is that you get to the moon (i'm surprised they didnt just call it Luna instead of Earth's Moon), there is an ANCIENT EXCAVATED TEMPLE yet they dont give you any good backstory...so far.
Anyway stuff like this is my style, but I will echo the complaints about having a cool universe yet not enough explanation on whats going on this far in the future.
Do you guys have fireteams set on public or just friends only?
What sucks is that now i'm at a point where it seems like the majority of GAF is way ahead of me, but my real life friends list friends (heh) are behind / not online this time of night.

I think it's as I feared and I'm now losing interest after hitting level 20.
It doesn't help that PvP has just been awful for me. Played like 15 games in all of the formats and have won a single game. Really is not a lot of fun to just get stomped over and over again. Get gud and all that, I suppose.

Yeah, I haven't even played one PvP game. Only did it in the alpha and beta. Not really my cup of tea, so to speak. But I still enjoy the game. It's fun trying to get new equipment!
Wow. That is impressive sounding gear.

I think key to PvP, besides radar-awareness, armor-stacking, cooldown-priority and team-focused play is the rate of fire on a weapon.
Ever since I switched to a 100/100 rate of fire assault rifle, the k/d has increased by a ton.

what's the best class titen warlook or humter
exotic class items required
Yeah probably the most boring boss fight in the game. You just stand in one place trying to hide from his minigun and missile rain, and then you peek out and shoot a few bursts.
And he has waaaay too much health, like most Strike bosses do.

Absolutely sickening.
Did the Devil's Lair strike so I could get to level 11 and hit Venus on hard mode (leveled to 14). That was...not fun? The strike was enjoyable as long as we had forward momentum, going from encounter to encounter, but the 'survive lots of waves' section and two bosses were a total grind. You guys were not kidding about the health overload on the two bosses.
My deaths were nearly all due to dudes spawning on top of me.

Most times 2 levels bellow the target... so maybe 24.
Why is it absolutely sickening?
Is that the Tank and Sepik? Yah, dense sponge.
Welcome to the strikes, unfortunately the bosses in the rest are bullet sponges also. Although one or two of the fights are more interesting.

Got my first legendary armor!
Most assault rifles with a high fire rate have awful impact. Maybe it doesn't matter? I haven't tried one because of that, maybe I should.
A lot of us have been playing for 30-40+ hours with no legendary drops.

On your Mission Map in the Orbit there is a Fist holding a Lightning in the bottom right corner. Just click on it and watch the credits.

Because I've played 75 effiecent hours of Destiny, half of that being spent on PURE repetetive farming, and I've gotten 2 legendaries. One of them being a shitty pulse rifle.
It's unfair - but I played vanilla WoW so I shouldn't complain - unfairness can be part of a loot game...

And finally at level 25 I get my first legendary, an exotic chest plate! Got it from a packet the postmaster gave me.
Yup. The orb (Sepik Prime?) was more interesting than the tank, but I kept finding spots where guys would suddenly spawn all around me. Nothing like turning around and finding a Captain standing in your face.
That's a bummer. I hope they are taken down by say, 75%.

Couple of things about PvP that I still don't understand after 16 games.
- How much does gear matter? I find myself unloading charged up fusion blasts, multiple rounds from pulse rifles, and two shotgun bursts without being to kill some opponents, yet I find myself being absolutely murdered in literally three bullets from a pulse rifle, for example. What gives? Does the Armor stat matter, too? If it does (along with gear), why would anyone choose to play a non-Titan class?
- What is up with these white shields? Seems incredibly unfair for some people to have them and others to not. I've never got a piece of gear that gives me extra shields so far.
- What does match making take into consideration? I just did a Skirmish where it was me (lv. 20), a lv. 8, and another lv. 20 guy up against a lv. 26 and two lv. 24 players. They absolutely brutally stomped us. Like 4k to 1k score. I stay in the matchmaking, and... it's the exact same teams the next match! Yes, please. I'd love another ass-handing while I waste 10 minutes of my life in exchange for a tiny faction experience boost.
