I'm not particularly bothered by this news of no co-op unless in a fireteam for campaign. Pretty disappointed to see so many over-the-top reactions and mean comments in the thread made over in gaming, though. Sigh.

I'm trying to clarify the discussion in that thread and yet I'm accused of being a corporate apologist and someone with no friends 🙃

So my brother is on a morning adventure here in the Detroit area trying to find the exclusive Target Ghost vinyl life size figures. My brother was able to snag one this morning for the $11.99 retail price(great msrp!) but would not sell him an additional one for me(I was at home and didn't know he was even out early lol).



My brother is good with modding and thinks he'll be able to add led lighting to the ghost relatively easily which should be bad ass. I'll post picks when he's done! :)


From my understanding the Target Ghost vinyls are not being mass produced so you may want to secure one if you see one in the wild at Target as a friendly tip! :) And again, they should be $11.99. If the price is higher, ask for a store manager. They shouldn't be getting sold for more than that at Target.

Happy Hunting Guardians and see you in Destiny 2!

I love Gaming side Destiny threads because it's always gonna get heated lol. The over reactions based on unconfirmed information, the people who cry that pre-order cancelled (probably didn't have it pre-ordered anyway). The sheer emotions coming from some posters...I love it!
 
I don't understand the hate behind this campaign thing. A deal-breaker? People are going to rush through it once and never return when done. Based on the reactions here, you'd think the rest of the game is all solo activity.

One of the things I actually like about the Destiny community is the relative lack of TOXIC attitudes and chat during gameplay.

I've met some genuinely awesome people whom I consider friends and would gladly share a beer with in real life.

Now playing the COD 2 private beta this morning.........that chat was toxic. I told the one guy after his continued nasty commentary...."hey !@#$, you know what the problem is?" and he said "what?" I said "you're continued spamming of toxic commentary during the gameplay....it's tiresome" expecting a toxic response he said "you know what, you're not wrong. I'm sorry!" It felt like the oceans parted and God sent beams of beautiful light down on our team for just that single moment! It was special.

I just look at it and say, ehh, whatever...as if true about the initial playthrough it doesn't bother me in the least as I had always planned to play it solo (I'll probably spend the first few days solo with the exception of public matchmaking for Strikes/Public Events) the first time anyways. It also may not be true and/or the matchmaking we saw in the "Homecoming" mission may play a bigger role in the game than a lot previously thought. I mean they put that in for a reason and I'd bet it's going to get used a good bit throughout the campaign which may be the very reason why the initial playthrough is structured to be played solo with public matchmaking/instancing thrown in at certain points when an encounter amps up.

Edit: And it turns out to be a whole lot about nothing.

What's an appropriate light level to go into the Rise of Iron raid having no knowledge of it? Finally got around to playing that after buying it at launch and would like to see the raid at least once prior to Destiny 2 hitting.

If I remember correctly, 360-370ish LL for WotM Normal.

Talk about the game getting shit on over on Gaming and its not even out. Some people.

Gaming side trashing on Destiny? I'm shocked, absolutely shocked. Though, it is generally amusing to read the overreactions of people.

It is amusing that people would cancel their pre-order over no co-op story missions. The same story missions that people will generally play seriously once, maybe twice, before blowing through it on other characters just to get it done.

Figured the info was false, moving on. Also, I'm trying to join a clan before release but bungie site not working. Maybe I'll try on the app and see if that works.

Ruthless, I just checked the discord link and it looks like it's expired on my end. Anyone else seeing that?



Is Sherpas Under Duress still accepting members? My PSN id is grayfour is you'd be willing to have me in. If I need to submit a request through PSN or Bungie.net, just let me know and I'll send it out.
It's completely open! Join up :D https://www.bungie.net/en/ClanV2?groupId=988011

Noseworthy says the information is not correct
Another red letter moment for the gaming community at large this morning

Here are his tweets in case they haven't been posted directly
You do not have to solo D2 campaign to play it again co-op with friends later on. That's absurd. �� 1/2

Opening moments are solo to support story before you can fireteam up and shoot monsters with your friends. 2/2
GlamFM, I would please ask that you PM a mod to alter the title of your thread

edit: It's locked, so I guess it will drop off the front page soon.
 
Hmm. Debating whether to cancel my pre-order on Amazon in favor of the digital version on PSN. I lose the Prime discount for the convenience of being able to pre-load/update the game and jump in immediately after work. Anyone think it's worth it?

You know what the actual funniest part of this mini-fiasco was? After putting two and two together I now realize what the guide was talking about, and basically had a new feature addition spoiled for me because of it this morning. I will put this in tags for anyone who was lucky enough to sleep through the whole thing.

So after the first set of intro missions you can play in a fireteam as much as you choose, like in D1. But after having beaten one you can go through Ikora to play a harder version of the mission intended for a fireteam, to get Tokens for gear she sells. Tokens are vendor-unique so this will be the only way to get this gear. Hard versions of Story missions in D1 were still just tuned for solo play with higher Light, and only the Daily Heroic Story ever offered anything of viable endgame benefit- even then nothing unique, just engrams/legendary marks.

Sooo not only was the freakout about something that was untrue in the first place (something which, I admit, wouldn't have mattered to me that much personally but I can certainly understand and empathize with those who were upset)... the reference in question is actually talking about something new that wasn't an option in Destiny 1 at all. Outstanding.

Whatever. This was good mental preparation for me for launch. It ain't gonna be all sunshines and unicorns kids

You can get a digital copy on Amazon if you want. You may have to contact support if your code isn't emailed to you immediately. Should be able to pre-load no problem though.

I have heard this from a few people in the last two days or so, weird stuff... apparently the app does work though, for anyone having trouble.

Oh wow I hadn't thought of that lol. I'm gonna go see if the Prime discount applies to digital codes. Thanks!!

Whichever one loads fastest at midnight! ;D

Although you could be the deciding vote! Where are you starting?

PS4 only this time around. But I'll only play with you if you wait until 2 AM to post anything about Twin Peaks tonight so I have time to finish it.

Kidding. I wouldn't ask the literal impossible of you.

Is Grimoire score still in Destiny 2?

So in the updated map video they released on Friday ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ9i2ZeChS8 ), you can see something like Grimoire Score under the player's Power Level at 25 seconds in. We don't have any details on if it's actually similar or how it works or anything.

Quoting myself from the clans thread because we still have half a dozen unverified people.

DestinyGAF Xbox clan just passed 50 members so we're going in strong this week. If you have applied and have not yet been approved it's because we can't verify that you're from GAF. Please PM me and we will sort that out.

If you're still looking for somewhere to be come and join us by clicking the link below;

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
Outrage for Destiny with all info not presented and GAFers go off on a tangent of their own!

No Way!

Lmao PS4 it is

I 100% will not post spoilers but yeah I doubt I'll be able to avoid like "Best episode of television I've ever seen" type stuff. Classic Me.

The only trophies I need for the platinum are clan raid and clan strike. Any GAF Gold Warriors want to raid or nightfall with me before Tuesday?


I'm down to run a couple raids on Tuesday night after 10pm est. I think we have to do the original strikes on the map, not through the Vanguard selection. Also, rumor is that the trophy is borked due to the clan change over for D2, so....

We can also run a quick Crota, which should only take about 45 mins..
