    edit: Do you HAVE to add friends on the PS4? I can't do it from the app or the web or anything? Blegh.

    There's the Playstation app that you can add friends through, but no, not through anything Destiny specific.

    I've said it before, but this game would do really well with a randomized, self contained, ME3 style waves/survival PvE mode.

    Some of the missions are sort of this, but yes. If they just straight up reprod' ME3 multi in this game, which I don't think would be that hard, it'd be great.

    What is this I don't even.

    Stuck with the same character look I had in the beta.

    XCmUPpx.jpg

    In which I did the best I could to make my robot character look like this:

    Evangelion_Unit_01_%28Rebuild%29.png

    But now that I got a skin that changed my Ghost's colors to look like this:

    EVA_02_Rebuild_Of_Evangelion_by_Deadklown.jpg

    I'm quite happy with the turnout.

    Interesting. Must be wonky since I've swapped grenades/scopes multiple times.

    I'm almost level 8 and killed hundreds of mooks yet I've only had one engram drop (and I think that was story related to introduce you to them?), what gives?

    App works great, just didn't see the button at first! Thanks! Added a bunch of people. Woo friends. Gonna plug around level 9 stuff, feel free to hop in with me if anyone wants.

    I'm a little confused about how subclasses work - a little help por favor.

    I really like the sound of the Sunsinger, but I'm stuck with Voidwalker until 15, right?

    What's the level cap? What level can I expect to be by the end of the story? 20 or so? Assuming I switch to Sunsinger at 15, is that enough 'time' to fully level up the 2nd subclass? Or am I thinking about it all wrong?

    ty in advance

    Good playing with you today @Marikir‌ and MR_Green_Ninja. Hopefully my cheap little headset will be here soon, which will help a bunch.

    Also, as someone who preordered on the PS3, how do I get access to the vanguard equipment ?

    You still earn XP at level 20, which earns you
    • Unlocks on your gear
    • Motes of Light, a currency used to buy items from The Speaker
    • Abilities in your subclasses

    Each subclass has a separate XP progression, so even if you swap to your new one at level 15, you won't get all of its abilities by 20.

    So I was running around on Venus and ran into a friend of mine randomly. I saw his name and ran over to him, thinking hey, what are the odds of randomly seeing someone you know! (He wasn't on my PSN friends list for whatever reason before this, either)

    So anyway he turns around and recognizes me and waves....as a level 26 enemy blasts him in the back, one shotting him. Whoops.

    Destiny is a game that would obviously lend itself to the PS4's sharing features. But so far I've had two lousy experiences that breaks the "convenience" of Sony's replay uploading platform.

    The first time was a cool moment that I wanted to immediately upload. I hit the Share button, check out my video....and it's missing the last 15 minutes. To be fair, this may have been due to a lack of HDD space, but it's not the first time I've had this issue and lots of other people have complained about it.

    Today I had another cool moment I wanted to immediately upload. This time it did capture the last few minutes, and I was able to upload it:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LDhx3BO0Dc&feature=youtu.be

    But upon going back to the game, I was signed out. Thankfully it checkpointed me and I didn't lose any gear/progress, but if that's going to happen every time I hit the Share button, then it's just going to make things more cumbersome.

    That was a good hour or so of management - got a lot done. Sent about 40 PMs. [PA2] is officially up and running. If anyone has any questions, just let me know. I'm always available (except when I accidentally sleep in until 11:53 am because of late-night solo Crucible and almost miss a meeting). I'll be checking in a few times tonight to accept people to [PA2] and manage the roster.

    Now who wants to play?! I'm just going to jump into the next Venus mission that I have and anyone is welcome to join. I want to hit at least 18 tonight, do some Strikes, and eventually late-night Crucible until the end of time (once I can get marks, at 18).

    Anyone down for the Dust Palace strike? Or the Winter's Lair venus strike?

    @NerfThatMan‌ I'd love to do both the mars strikes. Pretty sure you can get the playstation exclusive exotics from dust palace.

    Awesome. Anyone else up for it?

    If you guys are doing it after 9h00pm est, I am up for it.

    Hi guys, what are the cooldowns like on the magic powers? I normally don't go in for shooters but Borderlands 1 was great and I adore Mass Effect 3's multi, so hoping they're more frequent than like once a minute.

    Grenades and melee are 60 seconds, can go down to 20 seconds with max effectiveness in its associated stat.

    Super goes up slowly over time, but way more with kills. Dunno what the passive timer is on it.

    That is it, I got the Ghost Edition and it came with a code for the extras; entered the code before I even installed Destiny, and the skin for the ship was waiting at the postmaster for me. Been using it since I first hit the tower.

    To everyone asking about the exclusive content like the ship skin and ghost skin: you may have to reload the stuff through "licenses" on PS4 (from what I've read) or by redownloading the small expansions (on PS3 just like I had to do). On PS3 go check the store's list of your downloads and see of there's something you didn't have before. Then go to the postmaster.

    For the vanguard stuff: if you've entered your voucher or downloaded the vanguard addon, then go see the vanguard quartermaster in the hanger, next to the shipwright. It's a robot who has green gear starting at level 5 if you have the early access addon. Otherwise it only sells level 20 gear I think.

    Sorry, didn't know you meant out of game. That's an interesting console difference? On the One they bundled all that stuff together so it downloaded automatically with one purchase. The only thing I had to do was hit install.

    Oh man, playing with my Alt character (A Lvl.5 Bladedancer) and doing a Crucible control match, triggering Arc Blade and wiping out two enemies reasonably apart, but still around the same control point is awesome :-)

    I also noticed on my Alt Warlock, when checking out the fancy armor for the Crucible, that the armbands have either burning void fire or solar fire, which is pretty neat, as opposed to all the other armbands...

    It's the same one I have.

    If you are on the PS4, you may need to do two things:
    1) When I preloaded Destiny, it didn't actually download the DLC packs. I had to go into the game menu (at the main PS4 menu), go to Destiny, go to I think "related items"?, and then download those DLC packs.
    2) There was also an odd error with the Armory pack that downloaded but didn't seem to install correctly, I had to go to the PS4 Settings, go to the PSN sub-menu, and selected "Restore Licenses" to get those to show up.

    The skins for the Ghost and the ship are at the postmaster, the vanguard armory stuff was at the vanguard vendor (which the story i think points to.

    Drop rate seems insanely low. I'm level 9 right now and haven't gotten any green items except the one introducing you to the identification guy. Crucible is also very stingy, 4 games to get a single white item.

    Yeah theres definitely some shades of it in there in a couple of the missions - and those parts are really great. As it is now though, despite the 'mmo' trappings many thought this game had with the dungeons and raids etc, I'm not sure what (as much as I like the game) is going to keep people hooked on the PvE for the long term.

    They need to make repeatable, bite sized things. Things you can jump in, start shooting mans, see how you did, get loot, and then queue up to again.

    As you said, just like in ME3.

    Hmm, I'm also at that level, and I've got several greens. I have been running Hard versions of the story missions, and did some patrols (and bounties). I'm not sure if that affects things. I could also buy some green weapons from the vendor, but I didn't like the weapon types he was offering.

    I did pug that Earth strike mission last night, but all I got out of that was a green armor.

    Of course, it also helped that I knew where the gold chests are on Earth from the beta.
