    Ok, my favorite part of the Defender hasn't really gotten much press; your cooldown melee gives you barriers on top of your shields.

    I'm so goddamn tough.

    I'm wondering how level 20 pvp is going to work out (e.g. how are other classes going to do sufficient damage to actually kill a titan)?

    Also, is there an option somewhere that let's me turn on voice chat? I keep seeing little [...]'s over people's head, which I assume means they're speaking, but I can't hear 'em.

    So I got to a boss on the moon. The level 8 mission that needs a team.
    Either we are doing something wrong or this fight is really stupid and making me consider trading the game in. We've been fighting it for an hour and a half if not longer.

    Okay, that segment with the sword was the most fun ever. Even though it was a little sad that, as soon as I saw how much tracking it had, I knew I wasn't going to be able to keep it.

    But wow, yeah, super fun! I want a melee weapon like that, now.

    Drop rates are either increasing with level or they're messing with the servers. I'm swimming in greens all of a sudden.

    We had a really, really tough time on that fight too - died like six times on Hard, even though we got close a few of those times. It's super-hard. Finally got it (first time) when we added a third player (with a few more levels) to our fireteam. You have to stay on the opposite side of the room as the boss's entrance door, kind of switching from side to side, as the boss can't easily shoot around the huge metal barriers. But it's rough, especially when the sword knights come out.

    Finally got the game turned on and installing. Should finish up just in time for me to... turn it off and figure out dinner for the wife and kids.

    *sigh*

    I'm going to be lucky if I even get past character creation before the weekend.

    Man, the lack of any ingame clan stuff is really annoying. I basically can't play with anyone co-op unless I coordinate with them outside the game. No one in game is setting their fireteam to public, or joining mine, so I guess I'll just do things solo :/. Dumb.

    most people have it set to friends only. I have most of the people in the clan on my friendlist so I can see/join them at any time.

    be nice if they'd do something with clan functionality though, yeah.

    Level 17, finally got my first Titan Mark.

    And I've fully leveled my first blue weapon, just in time to find another one; a hand cannon.

    It's been a good day.

    Anybody looking to run a moon strike? I'm hugely over leveled for it, but I've got a bounty I need to clear.

    So it turns out, if you were part of the "Welcome Back" campaign for PSN in 2011 due to the network outage, and you got the free month of ps+ that they gave to all members, you are unable to use the free 30 days of ps+ voucher that comes with the Destiny PS4 Limited Edition bundle. I'm currently hashing this out with a Sony CSR.

    @Dusda If you've added people from the clan, there should be lots of people. I've been dropping in on people's games all day. Its why I'm level 8, with like 5 hours in game, and haven't done the Strike or Moon, because I see a level 2 or 3 and go "Oh! I'll help!"

    Also, just realized how to easily get the "Kill 10 Hive Majors or Ultras" -->The Wizard in the Dark Within counts, I think. Cause I just did it with my friend, and it upped my count. Also, one 60dmg rocket will take care of him, which is nice.

    So my friends and I are playing the final story mission on the Moon and...
    The cutscene comes on with that mysterious lady's voice and she tells us to finish up with the Hive on the moon and then head to Venus to find her.

    Me: "Venus?"

    Friend 1: "Venus."

    Friend 2: "Venus!"

    All of us: VENUS!!!!!!!!

    We are nerds and I love it lol

    So just give up focusing on story missions I want to do and help others instead? How Arcadian. I'll do that :).

    Or jump into people's fireteams who are just a bit behind where you want to be. You might have to step back by a mission or two, but once you get them through that, then they'll be on the mission you wanted to do anyway. I was just saying, if you look at the friend's list, there should be people pretty well scattered throughout the storyline.

    I don't know if you've actually used the handcannons or not, but they are pure compressed death in a small portable case.

    The buffs really helped

    I realize, but given how limited their ammo is, against the Hive, that can be an issue. Someone people able to solo the Moon with any weapon kind of suggests that its not enforced coop.

    Okay, I overstated things a bit. Co-op isn't 'enforced,' but it's overbearingly encouraged by Bungie with the structure of these missions. I should want to play co-op because it's more fun that way, yields better loot, allows the group to tackle higher difficulties. But when friends simply are not online or are playing other games, other parts of the story, etc, the missions should not be frustrating for a single player to take on. Borderlands 2 nailed that balance.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying my time with Destiny. But that's my one real gripe so far. Well, that and, could those of us with no interest in Crucible please have some new bounties for PvE?

    New bounties pop up every day. Half for PvE and half for PvP. You can see the timer to the next "restock" when you visit the guy.

    Pretty much yes. I would say the loot isn't quite as complex as Borderlands, the stats are pretty simplified...but yes, overall, you're correct.
