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 Nolan North 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. As of September 15, 2015, we have entered Year Two of Destiny, which has ushered in a host of new content, quality of life changes, UI improvements, weapon balance tweaks, and whole new ways to play. At its core, Destiny is still a cooperative role-playing FPS with levels and rep to grind and new and exciting gear and weapons to seek out. But it's getting a whole lot bigger with version 2.0 and its biggest expansion yet, The Taken King.
Still relevant: 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. Humanity has retreated to the Last City on Earth, our shared home and the launching point for our journey back to the stars, and from within its walls, we have begun to rebuild. We have begun to fight back. But even as we stand tall, our Light visible in the canyons and craters of far-off worlds, blinding our enemies with its brilliance, the Darkness threatens to close in around us. And everything we know about our enemy is about to change.
The Taken King
In Year One of Destiny, we the Wise and Noble Guardians of Pax Arcadia traveled through space and time in defense of Human, Awoken, and Exo, rising to meet every challenge and ultimately emerging from a year's worth of adventures bearing the spoils of war and the bounty of exotic weapons, sturdy and stylish armor, fortune, and fame. Today, the Tower stands because of the bravery and sacrifice of our ranks. Our legend is known far and wide across the bloodied fields of the Crucible. We have earned the favor of the Queen and now protect her Reef from those who would tear it apart.
At times, our successes seemed inevitable, almost routine. We traveled backward and forward through time; we crushed our foes underfoot in encounter after encounter; we destroyed the heart of a god - more than once. But we faced trials as well, true challenges that required complete cooperation and tested our limits, especially when we plunged into the depths of the Dark Below and stood face-to-hideous-face with Crota, Hive Prince and Son of Oryx. In time, he fell like the rest. We took his wretched, cursed husk and held it aloft as a trophy.
Now a deeper Darkness stirs. From the shadows beyond, Oryx himself has learned of our triumph, and he will not abide our insolence, our courage - our Legend. He is assembling a mysterious, twisted force that he plans to unleash upon our world. It is our duty to stop him. Prepare yourselves, Arcadians: the Taken King comes for us all.
Join the ranks of Pax Arcadia! Our clan is 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're Pax Arcadia, and we're currently making our way through endgame content and crushing the Crucible in six-man fireteams on a nightly basis!
Edit (Sept. 1, 2015): We presently have room in the PA clan on Xbox One and the PA2 clan on PS4. Follow the 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 joining the group(s) and applying to the clan.
2. Join the Bungie.net group for Pax Arcadia (right here, at this link). If necessary, you can hit up the group for Pax Arcadia II (right here), either instead or in addition, and join that, too. You don't need admin approval to join the groups.
3. Once you're in one or both Bungie.net groups, click "Set as PlayStation Clan" in the 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 request admission to that group's respective clan (either PA or PA2). If you're on PSN, you'll probably need to apply to PA2, the overflow clan. If you're on Xbox, you can apply to PA and don't need to mess with PA2.
4. 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.
5. If you've sent us a PM and added yourself to the Mega-Roster, we'll accept you as soon as we can.
6. Friend some PAers, hop online, and take to the skies in the name of Pax Arcadia!

I used it a match and ended up doing pretty okay with it. Basically it's purely a mid-range weapon and after that first kill it kinda snowballs from the damage bonus.
"...only mights and maybes."
So clearly it is OP.
I'm gated out by lack of a shader.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
I know they made them affect exotic stuff now.
Wolves are showing up in new places though so far they've always been too high a light level for me to even damage.
A little bit of both, It doesnt have all the ones I've had ever, but it did have a few I dismantled at least a month ago.
Can we get a thread DLC pack that replaces @OptimusZed with Lindsey Lohan?
It also, at least in some cases, gives you access to any shaders you had unlocked the ability to buy, but never did. For instance I have all of the Eris shaders unlocked in my collection but I only ever actually bought Sunsetting.

Does anyone know: if I add funds to my Sony wallet via PSN card/code, will the pre-order draw from that first?

She wasn't there last night.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
and still isn't. considering her kiosk was only used, like twice in the entirety of Year One i'm not surprised they've gotten rid of her.
though curiously the 'Missions' section of your inventory is still there and that was used about as often.
I thought The wording was pretty clear, but if I'm wrong about that, ok. Not trying to spread misinformation, but based on Bungie' statement and some of their past bungles with Destiny, I think it's fair to infer that they're not going to address this issue, at least not any time soon. But I would be happy to be wrong about it.
Regardless, I think the best advice right now is that no one complete their subclass quests before the 15th.
could we get comparison ass shots that's where the real difference is

"...only mights and maybes."
Scouts and pulse rifles dominate. Mida is king.
Rift is way more fun than I imagined and is the best team focused mode outside of elimination.
Which means its brutally painful to play solo.
I also get waaaaaaaaay to excited wgen I'm slamming and jamming or even just lead blocking for the spark.
Shotguns still dominate. Even more so now that hand cannons aren't kicking ass.
Best new feature? Showing the effects of certain abilities on screen. I use scholar now because I know when reactive reload is active and when outlaw is active. And that knowledge is way too useful.
Woah.
Going forward you should get an improved chance? I'm lucky. I have one DO and one FWC shader so once I get either to 25 (they're both at 17) I'm off. I guess.
Oh good that's a relief
"...only mights and maybes."
And Cozmo (the new co-CM) posted this in the Reddit thread tracking the issue:

I am at 21 with DO and lack any shaders. I didn't realize that gate was in place. If the next couple of ranks leave me shaderless and out in the cold, I am going to be pissed but ultimately do nothing about it and continue to grind, because I am way too conditioned to expect anything more.
Time Zone: Eastern
I'd buy a Ram, a Heart of Praxic Fire, or a MIDA in exactly as long as it took me to log in and run to Xur.
I was curious about that. I have all of the Eris shaders unlocked as well but could only remember buying sunsetting. Although I can't be sure that I never bought the others.
My milkshake brings the boys to the yard, if that's the issue.
