Hunters are only good in PVP. Bladeancer is better in PVE. GG is a shit ability in PVE as it can’t OSK everything. Warlock’s can wipe out SO many more enemies/do more damage with Vortex Grenade/Nova Bomb.
Crucible seriously needs some tweaks. Half the Crucible bounties are salvage. But Salvage isnt a currently available game type. It was up yesterday though.
My whole team went positive and won the game. Nobody got any rewards. The fuck kind of PvP system is this?
The main problem I find with Destiny, is its just not fun. The pacing is too slow; each mission is basically the same leveling up in the story. The rewards are boring, the items just seem to be too similar. The classes dont seem super unique, suffering from the Path of Exile syndrome (though not as bad). Going back to town is entirely too slow and annoying just to turn in a few bounties/ID some items. Reputation seems silly to grind.
I see this, and I have Diablo 3 sitting there enticing me with its loot… and 9 times out of 10 I’d rather play D3 than slog through Destiny hoping that end game picks up (and I fear it wont)
This games story is laughable. I stopped after they told me to pick up a sword and go ham. I was just like wtf? Princes? Swords that destroyed worlds? Lol?
I only hate MP when my entire team gets loot and I don’t.
I think I’m done with Destiny, at least for now. It may be my internet connection, but I doubt it, as I cannot complete any missions now, despite the game working just fine the first couple days after launch. I can’t even go to the tower. The most I can do is stay in orbit. So I’m quitting Destiny until November, when I’m back in my parent’s house.
Yeah, I don’t know what the fuck my Guardian is guarding. Half the time, I just go where I’m told and shoot whatever happens to be there. Maybe it’ll pick up later.
Guardians Spoiler/Theory
Spoiler
One of the theories is that the Traveler is evil, and the “Darkness” is us. The other alien races are trying to destroy us to save the universe. But we’re the spreading darkness, the undead army led by the “Traveler” , following the ghosts instructions blindly and killing everything. I mean we were dead for a long time and then rezzed at the beginning of the game, and start killing shit. It kinda makes sense
I’ve been using the Titan Defender and I 'll just sit there in the bubble dancing, daring people to come in so I can melee them to death. They try sliding in alot for some reason…
Yeah, I’m kinda getting into this camp. Doing endless quests hoping to find a better shotgun is stupid. Getting Warlock Bonds over and over, that do nothing for your stats, when I have a Bond already for Future War Cult, is retarded. The classes are all identical, except some have slightly different ways of jetpacking around, and different grenades/supers. Other than that, everything is way too fucking similar. I agree that going back to Tower is way too fucking slow. Kinda feel the need to get a ton of loot before I go back, seeing as the wait is just so fucking long.
I fail to see what the point of all the fucking ships are. It’s like this game just feeds you never ending cosmetic shit, with no real benefit. Oh boy, a new spaceship, that would be nice if there was space combat, or if I could get to planets faster/cheaper with it.
The story is awful. I still dunno what the Traveller is. I don’t know fuck all about the other races and aliens. Fallen, then suddenly Vex? WTF are Vex? I just get resurrected at the start, and told by “Phoning It In” Peter Dinklage to just annihilate everything I see. I beat the story mode, I think, and I still have zero clue wtf is going on.
This shit makes no sense. Get first place, on winning team, and get dick all. Get 2nd last place on losing team, get strange coins and a legendary drop.
Every mission is boring too. Go to XXXX, find console, let Ghost hack it, defend him against wave after wave of mobs. My other option is to do strike’s, which can take forever, and is just me fighting endless waves of enemies, until I get to a big boss I have to just unload on, forevers.
I know Bungie said to wait awhile before reviewing the game or making a decision about whether it’s good or not, but fuck…I’m 20 now, and all my friends are, and I really don’t see anything crazy new opening up.
In order to fix this up, it’s not a lot of hard work, fortunately:
Give me some better weapons (it’s the future, no lasers, or other crazy weapons?). Why are my options an automatic rifle, semi-automatic rifle, or single shot rifle/handgun, as a primary weapon? Why are there only two heavy weapons that are remarkably similar when upgraded (every fucking machine gun is essentially the same, except for the little unlockable bonus)?
Give me better weapon options. Borderlands gave me guns that shoot lightning, guns that shoot 5x the normal bullets, guns that shoot ammo in strange ways, and so much more. Here, I get a shotgun that does fire damage which is virtually the same as one that does arc damage, and the only difference is one reloads faster when it’s out of ammo, and the other reloads faster after I kill somebody. OOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo!! Decisions!!
More MP options. Why is there no capture the flag, for instance? Why is there like only one vehicle map, and the vehicles are ass?
I’m really tired of games copying the WoW strategy, and assuming thats how u make good high level loot. Oh boy, we added 5 intelligence to this helmet, it’s SO MUCH BETTER than the other helmet you had!!!
TIL that people can’t read weapon upgrades. And pay attention to shit that is said in cutscenes
So have you just ruined Bungie’s 10 year plan :lol:
At least in an MMO, when I level up I get cool new abilities.
In Destiny, I get to shift my stat points around, or change my grenade type. Yay?
Its not TERRIBLE, its just not FUN
Haha, unfortunately not my theory, just something I read which makes sense
I’ve been noticing a lot of the grenades are awful, too. The ones that split into shards to hit people, can’t kill anybody. It just adds a little extra damage.
Cutscenes are awful and make little or no sense.
I recall your ghost mentioning something about how the Traveller had fucked up some of these other bad guys worlds.
I still don’t know if the Traveller is an alien inside a ball, is the ball itself, or what.
Top tier grenade types are plasma grenade cut outs. The Hunter has one and either Warlock or Titan has one called Magnetic grenade. Guaranteed kill if they stick.
I’ve been playing Crucible more than anything lately. The missions/strikes are only cool near the end and then there arent anymore new ones. They shouldve loaded way more into this game than they currently have. Most people plowed through the PvE in 3 days, myself included. I’m trying my damndest to hit 28 so I can do the Weekly Nightfall strike because that shit looks mad retarded in difficulty. It has like 9 modifiers. I almost have enough motes of light to grab something from Xur this weekend too.
The missions and stuff they made are fucking fantastic in terms of design. There just isnt enough of them. Doing the same strikes on higher difficulties is starting to get slightly old.
Salvage and Skirmish are indisputably the best crucible types with two friends. Me, Fossy and my other friend fucking destroyed a skirmish earlier and got a little over 3000 points without dying. The last guy who didnt rage quit managed to get a titan slam kill and then he bounced.
I just worry this could end up another Diablo 3, where the dev’s admit the game is lacking but it will all be fixed by next patch.
Would that actually be a bad thing?
yes, yes it would be. They’ve released an expansion pack, patched that, and still having issues keeping players active.
Right now with Destiny, we keep getting told by Bungie that it’s a different game after level 20, but it really isn’t. It’s just grinding and hoping I get a random drop that ends up being something useful. No word on these hidden raids. No word on the 6 player raids. Multiplayer is pretty much the same old as any other game (although I assume shit will get different after a few MONTHS when people start getting tons of exotic drops.
this is what’s planned for the next few months:
Right on, I haven’t played D3 so I wouldn’t know, although I have heard that the patches made it much better.
I’m still only level 13 in Destiny, just finished the first Venus story mission. So far I’m loving everything about the game, except for getting my ass handed to me in the Crucible. Maybe it’s because I’m actually pretty new to the genre in general, but I’m having a blast with it.
Is it possible to go through PvE without PvP? It seems inevitable that you have to MP.
I don’t know… I’m fucking happy with this game. I have a few gripes and theories where the gameplay will go but otherwise it’s exactly what I thought it was gonna be.
