Destiny 2

I may get this, really enjoyed learning and playing with a few from here, just circumstance at the time meant I couldnt play. Can I keep my character? I didn't get the last expansion so may be underlevelled

KNiVES · 2 Sep 2017 at 15:38

You keep your characters but everyone starts at level 1 anyway. No gear, levels or progression carries over from the last game. D2 is a separate game entirely.

Noxia · 2 Sep 2017 at 15:44

Ok well I think I prefer that anyway, thank you.

Any way to download the theme now or is it only available on launch day too?

As someone who has played Halo and CoD, which is Destiny more similar to (if either)? Considering picking it up this year as the new CoD looks pretty dreadful.

Mark1989 · 2 Sep 2017 at 19:25

Nothing like cod, style is closer to halo but again it plays differently imo

What platform is everyone playing this on? Won't be getting it until December anyway but stuck between PC (looks like the best experience) and Xbox (where my friends play).

I would have to rebuy an Xbox (S or X) for the latter however Sami sold my One recently.

Yeah we are all basically starting again albeit with our characters in tact (so everyone gets treated to Pigtails again...

).

It is somewhat similar to Halo (the game has a *feel* to it which is somehow unique to Bungie) but has different overall movement mechanics. It is much closer to Halo than CoD though. PVP is somewhere in the middle in terms of TTK (ignoring power weapons in Halo) but again the feel is different.

So is there any way to buy this on the digital newzealand store and play early?

Makhaira · 3 Sep 2017 at 16:32

I'll be on from Thursday evening for this. Is it worth refreshing the player lists perhaps to get Friends lists up to date before everything kicks off? Happy to set up a Google list or something.

should work, i always buy from other places and games unlocks early for me

After seeing the supers for the Warlock and Titan I'm torn between which to pick. Will only have time to level 1 character

Legionaire68 · 3 Sep 2017 at 18:09

I think I will run Titan as first character as he's the only good looking one, oh and the supers and ability should hopefully be useful for the raid if there are lots of Warlocks.

So would I have to buy from New Zealand region or could I just change the region on my Xbox and play when it goes live NZ time?

steveo · 3 Sep 2017 at 19:28

any big clans for this on ps4 ?? was with ocuk but the numbers are small now

KNiVES · 3 Sep 2017 at 20:30

If you buy the game in NZ you'll have to get the expansion from there as well apparently, and you may lose your progression if you switch back to the UK region for PSN. I personally don't think it's worth going through the hassle just to save a few hours.

Perfect reason to not ever buy from other regions even if delay was weeks or so I don't see the extra time as enough of a positive when games can lock you out or give negatives down line of you use UK servers etc

When i buy Forza from Singapore, i change location of console to Singapore, enter credit code, purchase game, download game, switch console location back to UK.

Forza always unlocked Singapore midnight timezone, never unlocked by console location, only by purchase location from my testing.

Also, i've purchased Forza horizon 3 from Singapore, then purchased DLC from USA, works perfect

EDIT: how much is Destiny 2 in New Zealand?
