I think this is ultra cheap, and hope it's patched.
but it was reviewed badly![]()
I won't commit to saying "I bet" or anything so confident as that just yet, but I will say that after thinking WAY MORE about this game's systems and design philosophy than any one human should, I would not be surprised if, eventually, some reviewers are compelled to revise their scores somewhere down the line.but metacritic told me it sucked.

Ugh, Ascendant Shards are so hard to get, I still need one more to level up my armor once, and 13 more if I want to get it to full. Gonna take a loong time.
I have a newborn, so I'm super tired. Normally loot games have a fail safe to make sure you don't do something stupid like that. Destiny does not. It doesn't even have a slower timer.
Christ people, the game's been out 8 days! Just enjoy the game and not worry about being full legendary by playing until your eyes bleed. I havent even got one legendary or exotic since I started playing and it's the most fun ive had with a shooter in years.
So is the Outfitter ever going to change up her shader offering? It's always the same stuff for me...
Nopebut it was reviewed badly
Gah! They weren't able to fix that glitch?
Helpful tidbit to get an extra material a day, make an alt and get them to 4 (mainly just for some bounties) but always do a public event a day. Usually you'll get either an ascendant energy/shard once you go to the tower to get your gold package reward. There's schedules floating around on where to go for specific events to make it super easy.
I like Destiny, but I get the increasing sense that it doesn't like me.

So apparently after I do the weekly strike, I only need to buy 50 special ammo things from the vendor and I'll have the Invective. How much do those cost, again? I've never bought one, will 50 packs take a full 25,000 glimmer? I'm only at like 9k.
i'm enjoying the game overall but it's not perfect and some things could have clearly been done better or at least explained better.

But you guys are missing what I'm saying. The end result would probably be REALLY close to the same.
Say you get 100 engram drops. 60 of them are legendary. you get only 5 legendary items.
Bungie makes a change where legendary engrams have a high chance for a legendary, but also makes it where now, the engrams drop less.
So, now you have 100 engram drops, and only 5 are legendary and you get 4 legendary items. What's the point in making the change? Basically none. So now you have people complaining that LE's don't drop enough. Bungie isn't just going to make legendaries rain from the sky considering that's what is your gate keeper to certain content.
Wait...what?![]()
Psn lightning2k7What's your psn name?
Sent. Mine is too long. Anyone else?
i didn't even know they still existed. that is a high score.Yeah, no way did it deserve that 8.75 from GameInformer.
dude please.
When you're playing destiny and suddenly hit the level 24 plateau and you're told that you don't have high enough leveled gear to do the raid it sucks.
this isn't whiny bitching, it's about being able to play parts of the game you need higher level gear for and not being able to get it because of wonky game mechanics. see my other posts. a lot of people hit 24 and get stuck because what had worked for them the previous 24 levels suddenly stops working. I had to specifically change how I played the game and I had to do a lot of reading and figuring shit out to be able to get better gear.
it's not clear at all in the game on how to do this. look at the tons and tons of questions on these boards. a lot of people are confused and frustrated.
i'm enjoying the game overall but it's not perfect and some things could have clearly been done better or at least explained better.
I understand the frustration, but I keep thinking about all the times I went to ask about something perplexing in the Demon's Souls thread on my first playthrough. I got confused and frustrated sometimes, for sure. But I also got answers. And help. And learned stuff I didn't even realize I wanted to know. And eventually even made friends with people, because there was so much to talk about.This. I am having a ton of fun but without places and people like here on GAF, I would be so lost. That in itself is a major flaw imo.
I think the root of the frustration is the randomness. Some people seem to be getting extremely lucky (multiple legendaries, exotics) while some people haven't even found a single legendary item.
I never farmed for my legendary engrams and I have 3 exotic weapons, 1 exotic bounty (which will end up giving me an exotic weapon), a ton of strange coins, a purple hunter helmet I couldn't use, and a usable legendary chestpiece I DE'd because I bought one already.
Keyword: bought one. It's far better to go for marks and rep and not farm. You end up being able to buy crap if you want without having to rely on drops. Want some purple shoes? Go buy them for 65 marks instead of running around the Rocketyard opening chests for hours.

Fucking finally!!! A legendary engram turned into an Exotic Helmet!!! First non rare item!
Anyone down for the weekly heroic? Just need one more player.
Got my first exotic. Was a drop during pvp

I get that things are cryptic, different than expected, even arcane for a lot of people, but that doesn't necessarily make them bad. Nor is it bad to turn to a community for assistance. Feel free to add Hawkian on PSN, for that matter.
Do the daily heroics on a lower level so that you can still get the marks.I try the story missions everyday for the vanguard marks but yesterday's for example made me rage quit after getting killed by the minotaurs at the end and having to start that whole section over 3 times.
Wow, thank you sincerely. I have to admit, this thing has its hooks in me more than any game since gw2.Oh, believe me. I know. I've learned so much from people in here. I added you as soon as I saw you post in this thread. I remember you from the GW2 thread. You are a very helpful and informative person. I actually was a lurker when the game came out, followed the OT at launch, it was the first MMO I ever played and I had loads of fun.

I feel your pain. Wife and kid at home means i can't carve out dedicated time to run through heroic weeklies and such.Wow this thread is still moving fast!
I try the story missions everyday for the vanguard marks but yesterday's for example made me rage quit after getting killed by the minotaurs at the end and having to start that whole section over 3 times. Earning marks and rep are incredibly slow for me. I do all the vanguard bounties I can though which I still enjoy.
I mostly solo and up to 20 had a blast. I can't really coop because duties at home regularly pull me away and it isn't that easy to drop in and out on a whim.
Now that I am 20 I feel like I have hit a roadblock that can only be overcome by hours of farming or doing strikes that I struggle to find the time to commit to.
Hopefully getting back to patrols and the campaign will help me enjoy it again and maybe I will get lucky and get decent drops.

...hnnnnng. people were hyped for the launch, psssh. I want INThat raid is some of the finest video game design I've ever encountered.

I just found such a cheap trick for boosting your completed strikes. Only problem is, it would encourage some really bad behavior from others running strikes and looking to open up the gear they can receive so I'm not sure I should even post it.
Who has the highest Grimoire score here?
I gotta say, a loot game where the only decent way to get top-tier loot is by buying it is... kinda weak.
