Hahahahahahaha.

I hope you responded with the classic line "I am not a shop".
 
Only just started, seems good so far, only done the intro part and now at the tower.

I notice in options under roster some of my friends list are highlighted in orange and have the same logo , does that mean there in a fire team together?


Also how do you go out exploring and and stuff when I go to orbit I only have earth as a place to go with a story mission, is it because I need to level up more.

Cheers

Only played for 3-4 hours so far but I am impressed that in all that time I didn't disconnect once from the game or PSN. Good job.

I only had one disconnection on Monday and that's about it - only glitch I've had is sometimes the party chat abandons and goes into normal Destiny chat - not a massive issue I guess.

Just about to finish the moon myself - the moon is where this game just sells itself - really feels like Diablo in FPS...

All the enemies that are melee types definitely feel like they been upgraded - when they swarm or get you by surprise it does get frantic

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
Is it best to play the first few story missions solo or try to join a fireteam.

Is it case of playing with randoms if all your friends have already completed certain story missions.
 
I'm taking my time and will do as much on earth as I can before I go to the moon. I didn't get to go to the moon in the Beta so it will all be new so looking forward to it.

I died twice this morning whilst being swarmed on hard. My fault as I was using the hand cannon and couldn't get out of the way. I like to play with HC and shotty but occasionally I have to resort to an assault rifle or something just to clear the fast moving hordes.
 
I smashed it for 7 hrs yesterday and I had a couple of party chat disconnects and one part in the story mission with firetrap where I went forward and it came up on my screen as Loading and it wouldn't let me move I was just stuck and seeing others running around me I had to Dashboard.
 
What level do you need to be at to unlock features like bounties and explore mode or is explore mode basically the same as story mode but going off doing side missions.

I thought explore mode and story mode were different things according to destiny wiki
 
Various things open up from about level 4 - 6. I can't can't remember exactly what level.

Explore mode is the "patrol" missions, basically the whole map is open and you can run around getting little missions, doing public events of grabbing collectibles.
 
Played for several hours with djcj yesterday, which was good fun. Got my warlock upto level 12. Major concern for me is that after playing TLOU, which has amazing story telling, this just doesn't. I've played through to the Reef, and there is only the bare minimum of anything that indicates lore, or story.

OK, there was a shard of the Traveller on the moon. And the Lady who tells you to go to Venus. Could have done with a few more bits like that earlier.

However I I'd like more from the NPC's, some thing that gives a bit more sense of purpose. At the moment each maps goes the same way. Wade through some enermies, set Guilty Spark off doing something, fight off waves of harder enermies, end mission.

Even when you go to the Reef, there is no reaction from the Awoken that my character is also Awoken, just something to make it feel a little more personnal and alive.

It does feel repetitive. I think I'll be playing it to be social, rather than for a great experience.

Not replied at all yet... but I think I now know what the reply will be :D

Also loving the armour designs in this game!

Not a spoiler, just hiding the image (it might be a bit tall?)

Ok thanks, I guess these explore mode missions open up a bit later once I have levelled up as I only have 1 story mission available to me on earth.

Hurry up weekend, can't have a good session until then!!

Indeed, I think the patrol missions open up at level 4 for Old Russia, where you can just run around the map exploring, and also pick up little missions here and there.

The crucible (competitive PvP) opens up at level 5.

I think some Moon stuff unlocks at level 6.
 
Played a few hours of PvE and and a few PvP. I like the PvE, I can see it could become repetative however I am enjoying the mechanices of it so don't think I will have a problem with playing all the way through. I do like randomly meeting other players doing other missions, steal a few kills and gain a little extra xp :D

PvP: I am surprised there doesn't seem to be a large selection of maps, I think Bungie aimed at people spending more time in PvE missions or raids but PvP is such a large part of gaming these days I do think they messed up a little. There was a few times where I got inst-killed but I don't know why so can't really comment on it. Overall though the guns seem balanced and I qutite like the (few) maps.

Not had a problem with loading but a lot of people were having party chat disconnects last night. Hopefully as things settle down PSN will better handle it, though I am impressed it didn't fall over completely.

I think it is 5 for bounties, you need to talk to the guy in the city.

I don't know about the explore mode though, I didn't even know Destiny had one!
 
I'm going to try and level up a bit, do some story mode,weather it's solo or with some friends or randoms and then hopefully by the weekend I would have unlocked more so I can play with some you guys doing bounties and other side quest stuff.

I must have died about 100 times to your 1 or 2 deaths haha. Although half of them were accidently walking off cliffs.
