The Destiny Thread

I suck at FPS games but I'll give this one a go.

This is me all over. I'll be the one standing still and not knowing where he's getting shot from.

I'm an Exo Warlock, it's great fun. Currently sitting at lvl 12. I can't actually do any missions on earth without the game booting me from the servers though. I can do stuff on the Moon and the Crucible just fine though.

I think some of the later Warlock moves are killer. So is it a known issue with the Earth server? Is everyone having trouble getting in?

[Pheesh]

I think a lot of people are getting the same disconnections. I'm pretty sure it's just how full the servers are getting as it gets closer to peak times, because it was fine earlier today.

[Bubba]

I'm fully confident the whole thing will crash just in time for me to finish work and boot up the game.

[Aulayna]

Haha yeah, I finish work at 9pm... so I get home just in time for worldwide prime time. I'll be surprised if I even manage to get on.

[Bolivar]

So how does it compare to the beta? Is the XP level progression not as fast?

[Nicolas]

Oh no. I dread getting in from work tonight and trying. Just like Aulayna, I won't get home till peak hours of people playing.

As far as leveling, I hear it's essentially the same as the beta.

Eh. This day is going to go by slowly.

[Pheesh]

Yeah, the levelimg goes quite quickly, it may slow down once subclasses are introduced though.

Once you're level 5 then you will be able to play the crucible which works all the time without disconnections at least. The overworld/story missions are still about 50/50 on whether I'll get in.

[Nate]

I'm on now. Any PS4 peeps involved? I'm trying to get in a few remote play levels before I get home.

Also, did anyone buy through GameStop and not want their special add-on hover bike thing? I missed the pre-order window.

[Pheesh]

I'm online still. PSN is Mr_Obesity

[Aulayna]

Took a half day, installing it nao

[Freya]

So lot of crashing from over population i'm assuming? Maybe it's a good thing i'm waiting.

[Pheesh]

Seems much more stable now, I haven't been disconnected for about 4 hours. I'm done for the day now though, overall I'm extremely happy with this game. Pretty much got to wave goodbye to my life for the next few weeks though I think.

[McLovin']

Disconnect a lot. Don't finish a level with a full weapon inventory or you'll lose the weapon

[Bubba]

Had an enjoyable couple of Fireteam missions with Nicolas last night. We tackled one of the Earth levels and then the first moon level. I was at level 6-7 but he was only at level 2-3 and he still did better than me! Though I am still finding my feet with FPS games so it may take some time.

If anyone else fancies Fireteaming up then give me a buzz. I will be having a session exactly 5 hours from the time of this post so hit me up if you fancy it and we'll hit some fallen with some heavy artillery

[Bolivar]

Yeah, I was level 8 last night doing moon missions with a level 6 friend and invited another level 5er to join us. She actually held her own pretty well, all things considered, so its good to know you can have a party with level disparities and still have a good session. This is a must, since the game really is at its best with 3 players. I played mostly solo during the beta and it was fun but the game was really designed as a co-op experience. And so far I feel Bungie knocked it out of the park.

Will try to catch up with you guys later on. Maybe we could get a full stack for the Crucible ,although I still haven't gotten fully re-acclimated to it yet.
