There are games out there that get you sucked in and you’re engaged for a while. Destiny doesn’t do that for me. I’m hoping that end game and expansion will fix this.
Vault of Glass is the 6 player Raid you’re talking about, opens tomorrow. You have to be level 25 to get in though.
So… I’m guessing the game turns into FFXIV when you hit 20, but less fun and more grind-heavy?
More accurate
Also dont forget for the 6 man raids, theres no matchmaking. A full clear is expected to be 2-3 hours once you have it down. A big gaming clan played it for 16 hours and weren’t able to beat it. You need to make your own 6 man group, and coordinate everything yourselves, in order to beat it. Also since 0 is known, it will probably be awhile before you can “Farm” it, per say. Not sure how many bosses there are, what the loot structure is like, hell apparently even opening the vault is a challenge in and of itself.
I’ll definitely be watching some streamers attempt it tomorrow lol
The only MMO I’ve ever played is FFXIV, so that’s all I could relate it to lol. Point received anyhow.
This doesn’t sound good… I don’t want to hit Lv.20 just to play the same shit over and over with the hopes of getting a piece of equipment that’ll hopefully level me up enough to do something different… Why do people keep implementing that model? It isn’t good game design, nor does it create replayability. It just forces you to grind for obscene amounts of time with no real goal to reach.
Ugh, I’m only at 23. If I played all day today I could probably get to 25 but Persona is dropping in T-Minus 10 hours and I need to practice…
We should get 6 people from the clan to attempt it sometime tommorow, though. On PS3 or 4.
Wait, what? Persona comes out on the 30th… It’s Naruto that comes out tomorrow.
Does it? I could’ve sworn it came out on the 16th…fuck. I might have mixed my release dates up…
Because it works. Carrot on a stick. You’re always working towards something a bit better than you have now.
Its just right there, so close you can almost taste it. So close… just a few more tries at this boss, then you can stop for the day…
Damn, didn’t get it. Fuck this game.
Log out.
Now you’re sitting there, the back of your mind is going “I know you can get it. Lucks in your favor today. Try it again.”
So you log on, and you make some progress… AND YOU GET IT! YOU FINALLY GET THE ITEM YOU WANTED!"
Now you’re badass, what you’ve wanted is now in your possession. You’re stronger now. Awesome.
But theres an even more powerful item out there, that complements this one so well, you just need it…
So it’s right there, so close you can almost taste it, So close… just a few more tries at this boss, then you can stop for the day…
man the hunter sword super is too fucking fun. the thing is AMAZING for traversing the maps too. just played a game where i literally just randomly double jumped into the air, mashed the shit out of RB, flew across half the map, and then landed on 5 guys and fucked up every one of them.
You’re right, that’s what I was thinking of. Oh well, I’ll be just as happy to play that too lol.
Pimp Willy pretty much just described what its like past level 20 with perfect accuracy.
Although I am rly disappointed with the story mode and content, the PvP is still decent and fun to play.
Like many ppl I just started a few days ago playing Destiny and made a short vid with a few tips.
Destiny plays different compared to other FPSs I have played.
If anyone lvl 20+ wanna grind gear & weapons feel free to add me. LiangHuBBB
It’s still enjoyable, but just seems lacking in too many area’s. Like they had good intentions, but didn’t finish up on any of them.
After 20 you’re grinding for Light and Rep for Legendary/Exotic items, which you can then show off and use in PvE/PvP, where you earn more exp to upgrade these Legendary/Exotic items, to continue grinding for more Light and Rep. This is Destiny’s cycle as far progression goes. It’s not for anybody.
In time I foresee these DLC/Updates:
- New Story Missions, PvP maps, Weapons/Armor, Vehicles, etc are a given. The first two expansions are pretty this.
- Strikes can be added without making new content. They can use the environments already there as they’re essentially three or four set-pieces and a boss. Hell, there may be player created ones down the line, using a publishing system similar to GTAOnline.
- Raids MIGHT be different in that they’ll have exclusive environments. So that could be a DLC thing.
- Every class is missing a third sub-class element. I imagine they will be added with some story/event.
-
- Consider that the subclasses explore different sides of the base class. Hunters go from elusive to aggressive, Titans from damage dealers to supporters, and Warlocks from obtuse space control to meticulous status buffers. The third subclass would have to explore yet another form for this base classes. I theorize (and hope) that aside from playing against type (like the second subclass), they push conceptual extremes; like, why wouldn’t the Titan have an ascendent mode like Warlock’s Radiance? Or Warlock’s being able to produce a burning ‘indigo rifle’ like the golden gun?
- What I do not see happening is a fourth base class.
- I do imagine an entirely new enemy type.
- New regions for planets are likely. There were concepts for Old Chicago. And this would be easier than adding entire new planets, which may be a sequel thing.
The only part of the story ive liked so far is when the robot girl called my ghost little light and he got mad and gave her angry face, then my character called him little light.
Dont care for the rest of the game so far. I wana do the glass place raid asap sounds fun.
Shit dude Vault of Glass is happening tomorrow? Without matchmaking? It was hard enough to organize the weekly heroic. Me at 24 and two friends at 23. Getting together 6 people at Level26? Man that aint happening for a hot minute. Not with the completely fucked drop probabilities for crucible/engrams and how long it takes to get the rep you need for dat crucible/vanguard gear.
Can’t help you, bro. The game won’t let me play it, and I’m stuck at level 15…
I dig the lore so far but yeah the story can stand for more levity like the ‘little light’ line. Ghost’s lines do offer some quips, but nowhere near as spunky as Cortana as far as ‘FPS voice-in-your-radio/head’ sidekicks go. Your FPS avatar tends to be silent or at least a person of little words, so sidekicks are the ones who commentate and sell the situation. Ghost has all the traits of Bungie’s traditional AI characters; he has personality, preference, and fears. At the end of the day, though, he’s an AI - programmed to be attached to you. But I don’t wanna slide in story theories. People are thinking interesting things, though.
Had I lived in the Destiny universe and met the Awoken Queen I would be quickly executed for hitting on her. Then again I get some ‘down south’ vibes from her interaction with her brother.
Personally I feel like the brother has some “I’m gonna murder the shit out of you when no one will know and become the King.” aura about him.
