How the eff are new players supposed to compete in the Crucible? I had a quick peek at control as a level 10 player. The rest of the people were 31 with exotics. I got slaughtered. Where is the balancing?

And where is everyone else? This is supposed to be a living world with other players going about their business. Take the Queen's Wrath bounties for example. There are regularly 4 or so players hovering around Skywatch waiting for the Wolves. There is no one on Venus or the Moon and it was doing my nut in trying to get those bounties by myself. Why isn't there some kind of balancing for these events like Borderlands whereby the enemy health is dependent on how many people are in the team? If you want to play solo as I do, you're basically ******.

The more I play this game, the more I'm beginning to hate it. I should just quit now and write the £50 off.

Weapon damage is balanced, however some weapons ie exotics etc are better because of stats. The difference is at lvl 10 you have not unlocked all the class abilities. It don't take long to lvl up so stick with it a bit you'll get to 20 in a day or so will soon unlock all the class abilities that will help you survive longer. Now is a good time to start as the new dlc is out next week with a new lvl cap.

There is balancing for teams but playing solo is fine, I don't know what lvl you are now but the queen bounty is not a good example as aimed at high lvl. Also with the new patch, max lvl will be available to everyone not just raiders.
 
Thought I would fire this up for the first time in months and get greeted with a "Destiny servers are unavailable" message. I will try again in a couple of months....

A bunch of lowlife rent-a-botnet script kiddies are attacking both PSN and Xbox Live for the past couple of days, both services impacted to some extent.

I did the same yesterday - took a couple of attempts to get in but was fine once I did.

Had a lot of busy work to do to get the Queens Wrath bounties onto my characters (so she refreshes each week Im guessing? Only had 5 bounties to offer and seemed to cover 5 days). As soon as I realised Im still playing the same content any nostalgia just died for me, I really feel like Im only going back to Destiny not because the new content is actually special/worthwhile but because I feel I was stupid enough to buy it in advance so feel compelled to play it to get my moneys worth (which I know I easily have through the original game).

I dont think it helps that people I regularly played Destiny with have kinda gone off to other games - personally Ive gone back to my more normal gaming routine of playing every few days for a short period. With Destiny play so compartmentalised if you miss the Tuesday for NF you might as well just sack the week off - it does feel like people play this as if it was your set of weekly chores before you are allowed to have playtime :p

Think whatever Destiny was, Im done with it and its put me off ever playing another MMO-like thing, I just dont see how after the first few goalpost moves how I can feel motivated to go after them again. Least I know theres a reason I connect with ROGs but not MMORPGs. Sadly the best thing about Destiny isnt the game but everything that had to be built around it to make it enjoyable.

See you guys on Tuesday...

I'm looking forward to House of Wolves, and I'm glad they didn't just deliver a couple of strikes and a new raid. Would have been nice to have this variety in the game at launch, but meh, I'll take it :)

Plenty of options now, not just a weekly nightfall/raid cycle. I've been enjoying selecting the legendary gear that I'm going to ascend, now that we don't have everyone wearing exactly the same gear all the time.
 
Just my initial impressions, was hoping more 'why was I was I away?!?' than what I got - my mistake for turning up a week early because I want to be prepared :p (bought a few exotics that I havent re-unlocked).

Need to do NF before the reset and not looking forward to that. I might be sending messages later!

Can't say I've noticed a single problem with XBL over the last few days. Not heard anyone else having a problem either, just PSN.
 
Thought I read XBL was hit too...nm.

Tbh Sony's **** poor infrastructure is becoming a genuine reason to avoid the platform. At least with Microsoft you have the online services backed by a company that actually knows how to run a hyperscale cloud service properly.

Not noticed anything on PSN tbh, been playing a lot over the last couple of days too.
 
Actually really looking forward to the DLC on Tuesday, Bungie has done a great job I think in keeping interest in this game when you consider what other games have come and gone since last September.
 
I'm coming back for the DLC and I will probably complete everything there is to do but I'm not sure if I will bother with subsequent expansions. This has been said before but when you take a break from this game it loses its magic.

Give me a shout and I'll join you - assumed you had just given it up when I last spoke to you a while back.

I was the complete opposite, took a couple of months break and now playing more than ever! I do plan to have another break for the witcher as well, after playing HoW of course :cool:

I'm probably going to be blazing through the content with Robi and LackyT assuming they haven't given up on me. If you still need to do nightfalls and such tomorrow I should be on at some point in the afternoon/evening. I have my last exam tomorrow so I should be around a lot more after that.
 
Anybody know if the the Exotic Bounty weapons will have the new attack value when you hand them in after HoW release?:confused:
At the moment I have 7 to turn in, but I heard this week that the only place where exotics would drop with the new attack value would be in the actual PoE.
