Topic: The Destiny thread.

@banacheck: man, that is quite the collection! You should join us this Friday mate.

I'll add you on psn in any case if that's ok

@banacheck: I got my first Kingslayers Shell on my 3rd run this week - didn't get it on any of my runs last week - with a 310 light too. After my 3rd completion this week, I now have all but the AR, LMG and Rocket Launcher. My Titan and Warlock both have the class item and all 3 have a piece of Armour too - boots for my hunter, gauntlets for my warlock and helmet for my titan. It would be nice to get all the gear on my PS account too!

@BAMozzy: How many hours a day are you playing? lol, all gear across 6 characters on 2 accounts?!

@kyleforrester87: I beat the Kings Fall raid in 2.5hrs last night and as I am only missing 3 weapons now, its not that much more. As they are not class specific, these are easier to collect. I guess getting the higher stat roll and best perk combination could take a while though. The armour on the other hand could take a few weeks per character to obtain. I managed to pick up a piece on most of my runs so if that's the case it shouldn't take that long. I guess it also depends on what rewards the Hard raid gives - especially if any of them are 'class specific'

Yikes haha - Fortunately I don't have the bug to "catch em all" with the exotics etc! Not sure I could manage it! Do we know what the light cap is yet?

310 I assume but my guess is it'll raise along with DLC

@BAMozzy: Hey man, whenever you got a raid going on the PS4, hit me up if you're in need of another guy, with my exotic sword this next week ill break into the 300+.

I do feel the need to 'catch the all' still sherpaing groups on VoG to get the armour sets and the bloody VoC and FateB. Do I need them? No. But what the hell.

@xX_RiscazZ_Xx: junk, I dismantled all my old gear...

I tend to just play with the weapons I enjoy most and try out new ones as they come - sometimes they become my favourites!

Any tips on getting the exotic sword? Mine's fully upgraded through bounty XP and infused to around 285 damage but I haven't really used it much.

Crucible level 3 I believe, get it fast so we can do the shield brothers together, I'll need to people with shotties to kill them dead (guardian)

@xX_RiscazZ_Xx: I tend not to Raid with Randoms on the PS4 - primarily because I find the whole procedure a lot more annoying. Until I can work out how to invite people who message me without having to friend them and find an easy way to contact those looking for players, I'll stick with playing Raids with friends.

I managed to beat it 4 times yesterday (1 to help someone else get through). It would be good to get my PS4 classes through too so hopefully we can arrange a time with everyone here to try it this week.

So I got a rather interesting thing today on my PS4 dashboard or whatever you want to call it. A download of Destiny grouped with the games I am currently playing. I looked it up and I guess it's a free trial. Anyone know how long it's for and what it entails?

@Tasuki: If its like the demo I played, then it should let you get up to level seven, but won't let you leave earth. If its that then the demo might be indefinite.

@Tasuki: Yeah it's just the demo I think? Been around since year 1 launch. Give it a go, level 7 is recommended level for the first Strike, i think.

@kyleforrester87: Ah ok. I was just wondering. I am not really into the whole MMO thing, if I really wanted that I would just play WoW.

@Tasuki: oranges and apples

Yeah but they are both fruit

@Tasuki: I believe it was basically the beta that we had before the game launched. if that is the case, the beta was limited to Earth (around 5 missions, patrol and just one Strike) although you could sample all 3 classes. The tower was accessible too but thats just a social space. It was also capped to level 8. I don't know if it will allow you to play the MP but all the legendary and exotic weapons will not be usable due to the level.

I played the Beta and levelled all 3 characters to the max available. I must admit that I found it a bit limiting and couldn't wait for the game to be released so I could get to the end-game activities, find and use Legendary/Exotic items etc. I did think though, it was a good representation of the game as it released (the new areas Moon, Venus, Mars all had similar content to Earth). The game play felt solid and fun even if the 'story' is weak - although that has been addressed a bit by the Taken King but the original story is still there.

It often gets criticised for a lack of content, yet for a lot of people it is their most played game - investing hundreds and even thousands of hours.

Hey guys, just curious but what did you guys get that's supposedly better than the CE digital content? I remembered Bungie saying Destiny Year One players will receive “something better” than The Taken King Collector’s Edition Perks.

@WanderingBullet: 2 things;

1 - for all players with all dlc - all black armor shader, sparrow and emblem, and an exclusive ghost shell, I believe?
2 - Legendary emblem for the players that beat all the endgame objectives

I didn't really think they were better than what the CE people got, was it exotic class items and some such? But they do look nice. In the end is all about cosmetic trash really.
