Destiny has new content available today, sort of. The Queens Wrath has been added for 2 weeks. You are replaying older missions on higher difficulty with difficulty modifiers. You are guaranteed a legendary item for completing the task (bounty and story).

Also, in October the Iron Banner will be available, followed by DLC. Bungie has also promised plenty of post launch support.

I've noticed a big divide with the game, people seem to love it or hate it. Put me in the love it category. It does have flaws, but overall I really enjoy playing it.

On a side note, we failed beating the raid..... Back at it this week.

Reading all this makes me feel like that by the time I get to Destiny there isn't really going to be anyone playing it and that it's going to wind up being really boring on my own, and in parts obviously not playable. I'm afraid the same is going to be happening with Diablo by the time I actually get back to it as well.

Supposedly they planned on having it be their baby for the next 10 years.

I'm just really kinda pissed that there's so much that could be done but they haven't. I should have known the moment I saw a DLC card on sale at the release that they were basically going to give you the bare bones of the game and make you pay for the rest of the content later.

It's the CoD way.

I am now level 20/28 light and there isn't much to do now except the daily/weekly heroic stuff and grind out marks to buy stuff. Have done most of the bounties and don't feel like repeating most of them. I bet they release new content soonish, probably before Thanksgiving is my guess.

Side note....is there a way to find out exactly what bounties have been done? I forgot on a few if I completed them or not.

Raid gear? Shards?

Im 28 as well. You need 3 pieces of raid gear and 1 exotic to reach 30.

Yea, not sure I have the time to do a raid all in one sitting. Maybe when it only takes a couple of hours.....

Some groups have done it in under 1 hour now. Vids are on youtube. My group is at the final boss for the second time. I think this run is at about 1 hour so far. Hopefully we finish tonight.

According to bungie, expect scout rifles and certain exotic bounty weapons to be buffed. Shotguns and auto rifles will be nerfed.

Loot cave has been patched and no more shards from the queens missions.

Chat to be added to crucible and strike game modes in future updates.

Ahh, I kinda liked that there was no chat. Obviously less strategy for a team, but also less crap to deal with regarding randoms you are matched up with.

From what I heard, it will be optional to use it. I think it kind of helps if you join up with randoms in crucible or strike missions.

Just the range will be scaled back.

Try the Shingen E, Suros Regime or Shadow Price. They are all pretty good.

It doesn't matter what guns I use. Only the shotgun, I have some success with. Trying to get head shots with my sniper is almost impossible, been stuck on 3 for awhile now.

These guys will jump, spin sideways and somersault in the air all the while killing me with one shot from any gun(no matter the distance). I can chase someone unloading any gun on them in the backside and still can't kill them.

There has to be some kind of cheat, how can someone kill me from like 500 yds away with a pistol??

Raid completed. Felt great beating it, but I really got shafted on the rewards.....

Picked up the Suros Regime from Xur for 23 strange coins. I can't wait to test it out later.

Are you talking about in the multiplayer? I would assume it's due a lot to being Haloish in how the multiplayer is set up. That's from what I've heard anyway because I've yet to even play the game.

I'm probably one of the few that likes the story missions (not big on MP). The game is about as deep as most FPS (not in a bad way, outside of the Bioshocks, Metro, Last of Us types) but want more variety in these missions. I'm sure the DLC will include some different aspects; vehicle enabled shooting, scouting missions that involve stealth (not the free roam), mech fights (similar to Titanfall/Armored Core), underwater missions (Earth) etc. I like the game play well enough (could take a page from Borderlands and add more loot/weapons in the environment) and the graphics are beautiful, so there is definitely something to build on here. Currently only level 16, but everyone else seems to be @ the 20 our higher (can't grind like I used to)

The one thing that could possibly be patched, is improving the environmental dynamic bw hyper jumping and angled surfaces. When you land, your player feels a bit off or floating in position, where you can be influx but never feel like you have footing on the rock, mountain, etc.

I think Bungie will deliver with future updates. I'm anxious for the DLC.

I will most likely start leveling up my 2 empty characters spots next. I still need to get 2 more pieces of Raid gear with my main character.

Hell yeah it is. Guess it's the Activision way.

Someone's game glitched out and revealed a whole bunch of missions that aren't accessible. Presumably this is the first DLC they'll be putting out. Basically, they held content to charge for it later just as I had assumed.

I would bet anything the reason the story is such a mess is because they had to piece it together after the content was cut out.

Multiplayer is basically a teleport fest anymore. Teleporting and shotguns. I'm not that bad at multiplayer but just don't enjoy it with all the supers and abilities.

I've pretty much had my fill of this game. The bounties are the same, strikes are the same, mission patrol is the same. The game is one big replay of things you already did during the 1st week. They have bounties that can't be completed sometimes.

They released some content stuff for some Queen, and then immediately rendered it useless by preventing the equipment gained from breaking down into useful materials.

This might be one of least well supported games at launch I have ever seen. On par with dead island which basically got zero support after launch. Slightly better but not much.

I'll likely trade it in when Borderlands is released. I'm not jumping on board with a game that is going to have $20 DLC every quarter.
