Another week, another two chances for the raid to give me chattwhite again. I already have 3 visions of confluences, 3 praedyth's revenge, two ships and four chatterwhites. So blessed.

Nothing AGAIN except Fatebringer and another ship. Failllllllllllllllll

Until next week I suppose. Will be tougher with the baby bumpers.

Turns out Fatebringer is a specific Templar drop on Hard. Not feeling so bad about it now. Was beast on the Nightfall when I took it through.

Never underestimate the power of a grind. Even if it's not the most well designed grind. Lots of people on my friends list still play alot.

The dynamic of kind of hating the state of the game but not being able to pull yourself away reminds me a lot of D3, down to endless re-iterations of "it feels amazing to play, but..." As the latest Bombcast put it, you need to see. You need to know fully why and bang your head against it.

Lol

If this model works out for them I got to give it up for Activision and Bungie, lets see in a year.

I've been playing the PS4 trial, and that would lead me to believe that this game is basically a campaign thingy with seriously serious, yet optional, co-op. I don't get it. I don't give a shit about social gaming so I'm more than fine with that, but am I right? Is there a fleshed out campaign here that cna be played and enjoyed solo?

demi · « **Reply #380 on:** November 23, 2014, 09:49:09 AM »

lol... fleshed out campaign, good one

archnemesis · « **Reply #381 on:** November 23, 2014, 12:35:39 PM »

There is a campaign, but I wouldn't call it "fleshed out". You can play it by yourself, with friends, or together with strangers you automatically get matched up with online. The story isn't interesting or well-written. You won't care about the characters.

That being said, it's still an enjoyable game. Explore the world, shoot things, complete missions, have fun.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #382 on:** November 23, 2014, 01:37:36 PM »

You owe it to yourself as a gamer to play Destiny imho, it is a interesting piece of software

Quaker · « **Reply #383 on:** November 23, 2014, 11:59:21 PM »

I've played the game an hour or two pretty much 5 or 6 days of the week for the last two months and I still wouldn't really feel comfortable blindly recommending it to someone. I still play it because the shooting is compelling as hell for me and I like the character design, sound design and art design in general but the "story" is so vague and scattershot, the mission structure, enemy design and locations are so limited and many of the mechanics(like loot and leveling) are so obfuscated that I can't blame someone for being put off.

Good vid, definitely made me more interested in the DLC. If the Raid is required to finish the "story" quest I can see many people being pissed

First time back to Destiny after a few weeks break. First raid back. Nothing but shards lmao. Still have another character though so lets see if I can at least get this hunter to 30 before expansion (both my characters are stuck at 29 missing one piece of raid armor to hit 30).

toku · « **Reply #388 on:** November 27, 2014, 12:32:01 AM »

Do hard mode raid and get two of the same drop that you already have off a boss kill. Still 29 lmao.

Quote

After the initial launch, Bungie noticed that many players were choosing not to fully upgrade their standard legendary gear, and instead were saving the shards and energy for the powerful gear that might drop for them in the raid.

To encourage players to embrace initial upgrades even as they wait for raid drops, ascendant materials are now used primarily to upgrade non-raid legendary gear. Raid gear is instead upgraded with radiant shards and energy, which are acquired in the Crota’s End raid. To put it another way, the raid has its own internally consistent upgrade economy.

Quote

Independent of raid loot, there are some new wrinkles involved in acquiring standard expansion-tier legendary gear. In addition to spending crucible or vanguard marks, buying new purple items now requires that you gain crucible or vanguard commendations. This reward is provided when you hit a new reputation level, and arrives via the postmaster. New legendary gear can be purchased by any Destiny player, regardless of whether you own The Dark Below.

God bless the grind

Played the new raid yesterday. Got up to Crota (final boss). Got wrecked/people were frustrated, so we quit.

Got 2 pieces of new raid gear

Cant upgrade it without new Shards from raid

Bungie screwed over people who didnt buy it, since you cant even do the weekly/nightfall without it (for this week only?)

They also removed receiving engrams from the Tiger Vanguard playlist. People of course are fuming/pissed.

Everyone gets access to the new vendor gear, which can get you to 31 when all maxed out. All Vault of Glass gear is officially useless, as well.

Is it worth the $20? Not at all.... but I bought it to play the new raid with my crew.

Got my chest piece for my warlock. So thats two pieces for the lock (got the boots in my first raid). Still need to run the first half of the raid on my hunter.

Think im gonna dump the shards into the lock since I need to get it to 31.

you can basically cheese or skip most of the whole raid now. The longest part is the six or so minutes it takes to kill Crota. Found out about that die then revive everyone part with the swordbearer bridge section and it's fucking hilarious.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #412 on:** December 30, 2014, 12:24:19 PM »

So I have a free game voucher after buying a PS4...and after playing the demo for Destiny, I'm highly considering it.

I can see why people would be disappointed in the game, and it does seem like the RPG framework is less developed than the FPS elements, but I kept wanting to play the levels and find new armour and more glimmer. I have the option of Destiny, Far Cry 4, and NBA2k15, and I'm not sure whether I should get this or Far Cry 4 at this point. Decisions!

archnemesis · « **Reply #413 on:** December 30, 2014, 12:36:29 PM »

I hope you enjoy the game, but it will devolve into nothing short of a mobile F2P game. Those same people you laugh at for playing shitty games like Puzzles and Dragons? The roles will reverse... lol

Also USE THE LFG SITES if you dont have a group. The raids are awesome. You might have trouble finding a group who plays legit / first timers like yourself, but you might get lucky on /r/fireteams on reddit

TVC15 · « **Reply #419 on:** January 02, 2015, 02:46:02 AM »

I've been jonesing to play a little more destiny. I got burnt out after the alpha and beta and was kind of relieved that the original retail release wasn't particularly compelling, but I want to play a bit more. Problem is I don't know anyone else that still plays. Is the game still busted enough that I won't be able to meet up with random rubes to play SP with or would I be able to find some to help me tolerate the game?
