I'm the king of off topic these days, but a couple years back I saw St. Vincent in a medium sized venue and managed to get up close to the stage. For one song she jumped off into the crowd and I ended up pressed right next to her in the mass of people. She held the mic out and let me sing (aka shout) one line into it. Good times. She's incredible.
edit: ummm here's something on topic...
Started playing last night and I'm already level 15. Enjoying Destiny a lot more than the Internet led me to believe. I've already completed the first strike on Earth but I don't want to jump into any others without some more reliable peeps. Anyone here willing to go through some stuff with me and show me the ropes? I haven't touched PVP yet as I'd like to do most if not all of the main story first.
If anyone wants to handle a noob then add me on PS4 at pennythoughts.
Never trust the internet, least of all about Destiny. Except for us. We are 100% unbiased and completely accurate about all things Destiny.
That said, I wouldn't sweat the early story/strike stuff too much for grouping up. If you can find people to help, that's awesome but if not the content is generally easy enough that you won't need reliable helpers. The strikes should have match making as well, and the story missions really don't need extra people.
If you're still looking for help in 60-90 min I should be able to hop on. Honestly there's so much to learn about Destiny and all it's systems/currencies/etc. the easiest way is just talking with an experienced player. Sometimes it's hard to answer newbie questions on the forum.
