We called it the Traveler, and its arrival changed us forever. Great cities were built on Mars and Venus; Mercury became a garden world. Human lifespan tripled. It was a time of miracles. We stared out at the galaxy and knew that it was our Destiny to walk in the light of other stars.
But the Traveler had an enemy. A Darkness - which had hunted it for eons, across the black gulfs of space, centuries after our Golden Age began. This Darkness... found us. And that was the end of everything.
That is, until Peter Dinklage found
you, Guardian!
Destiny: Penny Arcade G&T Saves the Universe and Everything in It is an online multiplayer action role-playing sci-fi-fantasy *deep breath* first-person shooter for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 and the first title in a proposed 10-year, zillion-dollar franchise from Bungie and Activision. It’s MMO-like – think gear, skill trees, leveling up, and party play – with an emphasis on exploration and discovery.
The game is set in our own solar system, 700 years in the future, following a prosperous period of exploration and colonization ushered in by the arrival of the “Traveler,” a mysterious celestial body (pictured above). The Golden Age came to an abrupt end as a result of a momentous event called “the Collapse,” a calamity that wiped out human colonies everywhere, and as our story begins, humanity has retreated to the Last City on Earth, our shared home and the launching point for our journey back to the stars.
The Traveler watches over the Last City, and it is recruiting heroes from Earth to help protect our doomed planet, but the Darkness that hunts it is descending upon us. We must fight back against that Darkness, Guardians. We must suit up and set out - to the Moon and the planets beyond. We are humanity’s last hope.
So join up! We have clans on both systems!
We've assembled a Bungie.net group - and within that group, a PlayStation clan and an Xbox clan - so that PA G&Ters can play together. We'll be running Strikes (instances) and Raids and hitting up the Crucible (PvP) in huge fireteams!
Edit (9/10/14): Pax Arcadia has hit the 100-player cap on the PlayStation side (Xbox side still has openings). If you are on PS4 and are looking to join up, you need to request membership in Pax Arcadia II, but I would encourage everyone to also join regular Pax Arcadia, in case Bungie raises or removes the cap in the future. See instructions below.To join:
1. Send
@GMaster7 (on the PS side) or
@ObiFett (on the Xbox side) - or preferably, both - a PM, letting us know that you're applying.
2. Hit up the Bungie.net group for Pax Arcadia (
right here, at this link) and apply for membership, then hit up the group for Pax Arcadia II if you're on PS4 (
right here) and apply for membership.
3. Add yourself to the
Pax Arcadia Mega-Roster that we've created to keep track of membership. Use the tabs at the bottom to select your console, and put yourself at the bottom of your tab's list. We'll bump you up to your proper alphabetical placement once you're in the group.
4. When we get your PM and see that you're on the spreadsheet, we'll accept you to the
group(s). Then, you have to separately join your system's
clan - so click "
Set as PlayStation Clan" in Pax Arcadia II's banner if you're on PS3/PS4 or "
Set as Xbox Clan" in Pax Arcadia's banner if you're on 360/XB1 to officially add yourself to the clan roster. (Note: This only works after you've played the game on your system for the first time.)
5. Friend some PAers, hop online, and take to the skies in the name of Pax Arcadia!

@Beltaine: Although we don't know what these codes really do, they were collectible in the alpha and you might as well take a few minutes and redeem them at
http://www.bungie.net/en/User/coderedemption to see what kind of benefit they eventually confer. They're grimoire-related, I think.

Don't know if it's at all realistic, but I hope I can hit level 18 tonight so I can jump into the Crucible and earn some marks. It's going to be a brave new world, what with all of the crazy higher-level abilities.
@OptimusZed, I'd love to do some PvP with you and see what the Defender is all about. Let me know.
How do you guys get the preorder bonuses?

Or I'll just party up with @GMaster7 again, who knows.
Tried to (re)join the Xbox Clan, but Bungie.net says Groups are disabled. How I mine clan?

They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
Phantasy Star Online except with shooting instead of third person action.

Borderlands by far, with a packet of Halo flavoring thrown in. Can't speak to the PVP part much, but the rest of it isn't CODy at all.

You can enter the explore area at level 4, you can get missions with enemies up to level 8, I know I did once when I was level 4.

The PvP I would say leans a touch towards CoD, at least relative to Halo, because Time To Kill is much lower than Halo, though not nearly as low as CoD.

no doubt lots of stuff got buried in the old thread with the explosion of posts leading up to and during launch day. but worry not, because here in one handy post is Wraith260's patented Dos and Don'ts of Titan Smashing!
it's pretty basic really. Don't do this:

Do try more for this:

its the ghost just hovering there after i've died, looking around and blinking away as if it's thinking to itself 'What the fuck was that about?' that really makes it. i can't almost hear Dinklbot lamenting now, 'I brought you back from the dead for this?'.
stupid procreation
"Did you hear something?"
"Sounded like a grenade, AHHHHHHH HUNTER ON FIRE WHY IS SHE ON FIRE?!"

This is why you make sure you have a couple of bounties ready to turn in when you unlock and switch to the 2nd subclass, lots of XP to get you a few of the skills unlocked.
Not saying I jumped down a chasm, forgetting I couldn't double jump. That didn't happen.
so yeah, be careful with the rocket propelled, explosive ordinance.
I'm glad you guys are the people telling us this stuff so I know to hold off on going tiny blade dancer until I've got a bounty or three in reserve.
