*** The Official Destiny Thread (now includes 2.0 and TTK) ***

Well, had a quick blast this morning.

Agree the UI changes are good. Cleaner, less cluttered.
Weapon balancing in Crucible feels good so far. I ran The Summoner and didn't feel like I was overpowered or being splatted by Thorn (which quite a few people were still running). If my aim was on and landing headshots, I was winning 1v1s, but not by much, which is how it should be.

Base ability changes are much more noticable. I'm running max recovery/agility on my hunter and the increased agility is very noticable.

Completed the hunter quest chain, you just get a level 40 class item at the end. Hunter one is a cloak with +13 INT +13 STR, increased vanguard rep gains, and two switchable perks, either increased INT or STR, and scout rifle or MG XP boost.

Selected my Dead Orbit allegiance, so unfortunately pipped over a rank. Got emblem and boots (old ones), seems promising. Trading in 5 motes gives you 125 faction rep...I got 350+ stashed so I will be able to smash through 4 levels easy on launch day. You can also trade ammo synths, armour parts etc.

You can't convert class armour parts to the new armour parts yet, but you can earn them now by breaking down gear.

Yeh, the quests seem bugged though, says 50 kills using golden gun, grenade or melee attacks for my hunter but only golden gun is counting to the total. Also, I got my levels wrong, the titan was 31, so he only jumped 3 levels, my warlock is 29 and I've not logged that one in yet.

Yeah the defender Titan quest is broken too

You need to kill 50 enemies inside your bubble, yet after "We've woken the hive!" punching 30 thralls to death inside my Ward of Dawn didn't give me any kills

Only thing that seems to be counting towards the 50 kills at the moment is a fully charged mele attack...
 
A bit disappointed to see exotic faction class items that boost rep gains with the faction. All this being able to wear the class items you want, but actually if you want to level a faction you still need to wear the same bloody item.

Surely it just increases the rate of rep gain? You still have to pledge to a faction as I understand it.

The hunter quest asked for kills with your melee *ability*, not melee attack...throwing knives to the face ftw.
Click to expand...

Yeah, the quest says "Defeat 50 enemies either within your Ward of Dawn or using your grenade and melee attack", which to me means you can do any of the three

Kills inside the bubble or grenade kills aren't counting every time. I will get 1 random kill count every so often

Yeah you still pledge to a faction....but if you want to maximise your rep gains, you're going to have to wear the new item.

That said, it is exotic, so will probably take a while to get.

BTW The Stranger's Rifle is now legendary and can be ascended :cool:
 
How come people are getting different quests? Is it going on the subclass you are using when you talk to your mentor?

Mine was the voidwalker and everything counted up properly. The last part was completely mad though. I won't spoil what you have to do but the game matched me with two other warlocks, both with obsidian helmets and bad juju rifles. It was complete mayhem as we weren't using mics either.

Here's a tip - if you want lots of yellow enemies, do the Undying Mind strike on Mars. There are tons of yellow Vex there.
 
There's a new patrol mission on Mars btw, found it when I was doing bounties. A bunch of 'taken' rifts appear and you have to sparrow round them pretty quickly to get a charge up to 100% (you get about 15% per rift, and it ticks down over time).
 
Logged in and had a mess about. I have the Suros emblem, shader, a purple TTK shader and the Voidwaker Cloak (which is Exotic so can't wear the old Lucky Raspberry with it.)
Also have "The Sprinkler" dance emote and managed to go over faction rep with New Monarchy and dropped Amalthea which I've wanted for ages!

It may have been more like 4 hours as I was stupidly tired last night. Thinking about it I started the D/load at around 6:30 and was playing by around 11. I didn't start playing immediately thus works out at just over 4 hours.

I did have to pause and restart it multiple times mind.

Either way still a lot quicker than mine downloaded. I stopped and started it and often got it downloading a lot quicker but I would check back later and it was back up at stupid number of hours. Oh well, finished downloading now :D

Now just the countdown to get home and try it out :(
 
Anybody on here who has been in party chat with me on a regular basis will know I'm one of the people who actually defended Peter Dinklage's performance as the ghost, I've always said the problem was the script not him. Little to none of my friends agreed with me but it's just funny now seeing some of the heat Nolan North is taking for his performance, the original script hasn't changed in any way from what I understand... what were people expecting?
 
So just had a little play with the all new destiny and I absolutely hate the new ghosts voice. Sounds like a woman now lol.

Other than that, graphically it looks much sharper than before..i like that now you can have up to 16 bounties at one time.

Got my thorn as well so that's nice, just need to get my elder cipher weapon from variks. Got my suros emblem and shader as well but no suros weapons?? Or does that unlock on the 15th??

All in all not bad, going to take me some time getting used to the new ways.
 
Just triggered a weird quest chain on the moon, after blitzing 3 or 4 rounds of the rift sparrow chasing. I won't spoil it as it's meant to be a puzzle of sorts. Apparently you don't get rewards until TTK though :(
 
Has anyone seen anything as to whether this 2.0 patch is on the Taken King retail discs? Or is it going to install some 1.2.x.x version and you still have to download the 18GB? It's going to take weeks for my nephew to play if that's the case. :D
 
Agreed on the Ghost voice, it's terrible. His voice is far too high pitch and excitable. Deeper deadpan delivery would have been a lot more fitting. I wanted a sarcastic Ghost, not 343 Guilty Spark pre breakdown!
