Destiny

I'm liking it so far, pretty fun. Haven't run into anything frustrating yet. I'm level 9 and just got my first blue drop (helmet lvl 10) as well as my first gold chest (kitty emblem).


I'm not too upset about the lack of customization.

I get the trolling and everything but the second part is what makes me think there should be at least a easy way to communicate with ppl in game. Maybe a simple message system that you can access only in tower and like a letter appears over your head or something. Not sure what if not a chatbox, but these games are so hard for solo players and if you don't have enough friends online playing you are depending on trying to randomly find people.

Few other things I think they need to do is
-Make the side missions have more variety, mainly just go here and stand there, go here and scan, or kill the enemies in the area.
-Make events happen more often cause my first 2 hours playing I ran into 2 and the last 6 hours ran into none. Also lot of people were complaining about not seeing enough of them.
-Fix some connection issues. Few times already I have been dropped cause it says my public connection stopped.
-And know they cannot fix this but load times would be nice if lower or at least let us twist and turn our ships during them.



Sniping is really easy in the game, but almost impossible to do in PvP from my experience. I usually aim right at the head or go for middle to avoid that auto aim stupidity.

I am level 14 now so should be at the subclass here soon. Fun game overall and just saying next gen just looks amazing. Too many times I just stop to admire the games beauty.

What are the rewards for the global events? Finished one and it ended with a Silver Rank or whatever, but I didn't notice any rewards.


Just unlocked the third planet. Thinking about going back to Earth and doing the raid there before continuing.

Rewards for public events are given to you by the Postmaster, go back to the hub and he should give it to you from the mailbox.



I really like how Venus looks, but traversal wise I think Earth is still better. Kind of disappointed at the Moon, wanted really open spaces with trench-like warfare between the craters. Also no moon jump, just higher jump.

There's a difference between Raids and Strike Missions in Destiny.Raids are not yet implemented six-player missions with no matchmaking(which means you need six friends) and are supposed to be incredibly difficult multi-stage missions that take several days to complete, saving your progress when you leave and wiping your progress after a week has passed. Strikes are three player missions with matchmaking.

I'm putting off PvP until I'm level 18 and feel comfortable with the weapons I have, because I was told you don't get Crucible rewards(Marks) for PvP(except xp) until you hit 18. There are weapon drops from match performance though.

ive done pvp on my lvl 10 and get my face stomped in by the others sadly as for marks got none so far so i guess 18 is when you get them reward wise not sure how it works out ive placed dead last got something and placed 3rd and got nothing.

So what is everyone running class wise, im going with the warlocks sunsinger sub-class, i like throwing grenades like crazy and lighting people on fire.

Started playing the matchmaking more as a form of grinding since it's a lot easier that way. Kind of a bit overleveled at this point (Missions are ranked at ten and I'm level 13) thanks to the grinding but I guess that means I won't have an issue with missions now. Really like how it feels (Seems like one of the few games with matchmaking that I can play well at lol I get a ton of the 5 kill streaks and then start getting a bit too cocky for my own good xD ) since it's well balanced and fun.

Overall really enjoying it. Yet to see any events on my part which is a little annoying since I was really hyped over them. I'd like it if there were either a few more or more frequently occurring. I had an idea where they could implement a timer so people could know when an event was going to take place but...then you would just get thousands of people all trying to access the same place at once and probably fuck the servers over. So maybe more frequent ones would be nice. Oh well, sure I'll see one soon enough.

The bold part is what I don't like. Not sure why you cannot have matchmaking it the 6 cause for most part when I play only 1 to 2 friends are on and maybe only 1 of them playing destiny. I hope they put matchmaking for it or else going to be really annoying unless you can just try it with 2 and die a lot.

PvP is ok, it is what you expect from an FPS. I really only did 5 capture matches to get the bounty otherwise I will leave it once I hit 20 or so.

Hunter only so far.

From what I've read about raids, there seems to be a save function every week or something. Maybe that has something to do with friends only. I don't know.

Bungie said that they have no matchmaking for raids because it requires extensive coordination to complete a raid and that matching you with random people who may or may not just constantly screw up the raid for you or not able to commit to the raid because of their duties in life(resulting in the other five just dumping the entire raid halfway in) would just ruin the experience. I can see why Bungie implemented no matchmaking because from what I've seen in Raids there are puzzles and bosses where a single mistake results in the(possibly permanent) death of the entire team and while exhilarating to conquer a challenge that requires a team effort, the words team and effort remain boon and bane of this system.

Bungie has good intentions, but the finer details are going to stop people from even being able to challenge raids let alone experience their unforgiving difficulty. From the sounds of it the prerequisites of finding people who you can raid with are an intimidating barrier alone, because you need people who can be there when you can play, who are competent(adequately skilled and geared) and who you can reliably communicate with. It's hard enough finding one person capable of fulfilling all those requirements let alone five. Unfortunately Destiny doesn't actively support you going out there and finding reliable players to raid with, the option to friend people who made an impression on you is there but nothing deeper than that exists. I'm pretty sure that Bungie wants people to go out on forums, go talk to people in real life, socialize outside of the game to extend your opportunities but having an extensive option in game would not be bad either.

Summary. Most people won't even be able to do raids because it requires a higher level of commitment and preparation, which is bad and good.

On that note I would be more than happy to play with someone assuming they have a Ps3 (because cross-platform is not supported on Destiny). Pm me if you want to play together. Fine with just relaxing really, meeting new people and being able to have fun with them would be enough for me.

Welp, speaking of raids, I was hoping to actually organize the six people needed here on Fakku, so yeah. If anyone wants to fireteam for daily or weekly things or whatever, I'm playing on ps3 and my PSN is atommmsk, might upgrade to ps4 later.

I think it'd be cool to do some shit not alone or with randos.

titan, striker subclass. i also have a hunter / bladedancer purely because that subclass is stellar. i will probably have a warlock / sunsinger at some point to round them out, buuuut i may also go with another titan.

Yeah raiding is really difficult, I've been watching level 28s(2 levels above the recommended level for raids), with all Legendary/Exotic gear streaming the Vault of Glass raid after knowing all the ins and outs of the raid but they are still struggling with it. The streamer went through 17 different people until they managed to complete it once. Good news is that it looks really fun, there's like 3 different enemy types for the Vex in that raid alone and new mechanics like Negation debuff causes the game to really change up. Furthermore, the final stage of the raid takes like 20-30mins to complete and since the first stage was similar it should only take around 2 hours(counting only the successful run) meaning you'll probably get plenty of opportunities/progress in one session.

On a similar note there's an app for matchmaking in raids for Destiny.

I finished the campaign, it was pretty bad with the story being all over the place and the bosses after Earth all being bigger versions of the regulars. Having fun with PvP, but I think it's just because of the level disparity(24 right now) and my gear tho.

SO what do you guys think about the "engram cave"? and have any of you actually managed to finish the vault of glass?

Well engram cave I haven't done yet but was planning on looking into it today. The Vault of glass, since I don't know 5 other people playing this and on at a given time I haven't even tried the raid.

I tried the loot cave yesterday, I agree with the statement that it's pretty much the only reliable way to farm legendary engrams without a fireteam. Destiny possibly tries TOO hard to encourage cooperative play.

Edit: Lol now they do Queen's Wrath event and it's guaranteed(or at least very good chance) to get Legendaries from Queen's Wrath missions which are unlocked only after you do a certain amount of Queen's Wrath bounties. Going to be swimming in Legendaries after this week.

I'm having trouble finding teammates as well for some of the weekly and epic raids. If anyone needs a fireteam member for anything feel free to add me.

I'm usually solo playing or in the matchmaking. Don't hesitate to send me an invite

You on PS3 or PS4?

Yeah the cave was okay, but I didn't get one useful item from it and I waste an hour on it lol. I need light armor stuff and that gave me a few pieces, but it was all lower than what I already have...

27 Warlock. For some odd reason I cannot gain vangaurd reputation no matter how many bounties or Dailys I do..... @-@

Well if you have one of the factions armband on then whatever rep you get will go towards them. From what I seen unless you are a huge PvP player best to do Vanguard up till at least 2 then you can work on factions.
