I seriously doubt Ill get any sleep this weekend.

I cant even believe Ive been active at work all week and not falling asleep at my desk. It's those everlasting thoughts about what your plan will be when you get home and how you're gonna tackle stuff. It's like a second job that's fucking awesome.

Thats been my situation every single night this week. Im playing with two buddies and every time I look at my clock its the same ol "Alright well lets see what I can do in an hour and then Ill bounce out." Thats never the case as we're always doing strikes and I cant bail in the middle of a boss fight because I want those damn spoils. Ive gone to bed every night after 2AM. The game seriously has my balls in such a tight vice grip. This is also my first MMO so I really get it now how this brand of game can suck you in and never let you go.

If Destiny was heroin, I wouldve OD'ed Monday night.

Same here, staying up way too late playing this game with friends.

Most addicting game I've played in a long time. It's like you always want to do one more thing. One more Strike. One more Crucible Match. One more visit to The Tower to decrypt that Engram that could have an awesome item in it. Just a few more quests / matches to finish that Bounty off.

Game is sooo good in my opinion.

See, it's stuff like this that makes me wonder if what Bungie did was intentional with endgame.

In a regular MMO, it would take a 2 weeks or more to get to where we're currently at in Destiny. That is, we started the game sometime last week and hit level 20, and now we're getting light levels and gunning for legendary gear.

In MMOs, the endgame is what retains players since folks want to get decked out with the best possible gear and take on the biggest challenges. Right now, we're all aiming for taking on the Raid and its difficulties.

I almost thing Bungie is genius for making the early game piss easy to get through. They've essentially gotten rid of the biggest hangup of starting a MMO.

I recently had a small house party with the friends I grew up gaming with. It was pretty cool to show them Bungie's latest and watch their faces light up. However, once they got a good look at it we all wanted nothing more than to play multiplayer split screen. WHY BUNGIE?!? =(

So for the exotic engram, it's only chest right? Can't be anything else? I don't want to get a chest piece for my hunter so I should buy it with my level 20 titan.
Click to expand...

Buying it with a certain class has zero effect. You will receive a chest piece for one of the three classes, regardless of which class you are using to purchase it.

Finally, something that appears to be for Voidwalker (which I still prefer). Dish on the bonuses my Warlock in arms!

Took another pic of the bonuses, decent for certain builds. Spawn with grenade replenished and there is one add'l axion bolt that seeks targets (I don't use the bolts but may give it a go to test it out)

Well I guess I am keeping my motes of light...

Seriously whats the point of having Exotic Gear if you can only wear one piece?
Click to expand...

I'm betting they did that so that they somewhat nerfed people for now. I wouldn't be surprised if in future updates / expansions they keep adding how many Exotics you can use.

hah so you can have a teammate kill himself off an edge and revive him for 50 points in PvP 3 on 3, to stack score.

Don't do this though, can only lead to trouble.

That is exactly what I wanted. Instead I got the Raspberry armor for Hunters. We should trade.

Oh wait, right. Bungie.

It's crack. It's literal video game crack.

Side note, I'll be doing a marathon session on PS4 tonight for whoever wants to join. PSN: GKW212

Session starts in approximately 6.5 hours... also, I'm a lvl 21 Hunter.

Feel kinda burned out on Destiny. Doing the dailies and bounties everyday and feel like I haven't progressed at all since last week. Hmm.
Click to expand...

I don't feel this personally. I actually enjoy the pvp though, and I played halo pvp tons without any progression at all.

Still, what kind of progress does everyone want. Maxing out classes, legendary weapons and armors, etc takes forever. Even if your light level isn't going up, you are improving all of that. And earning marks and levels to buy more legendaries

Maybe I'll feel a little burned once I got full legendary and exotic sets. But seeing how long it's taking me to buy legendaries and max them, it's gonna take forever. And in the hunters case, both gunslinger and blade dancer are extremely viable so maxing those will take time as well.

I feel bungie should have increased the soft level cap just a bit maybe, or maybe made it so light levels had a bit of a grind to them as well with normal xp. Just so people don't feel like progress is halted due to random drops. Cuz I'm convinced everyone has tons of shit to do, they just don't. Feel it since that one light level number isn't going up

Exactly. I come and say "Okay, only an hour or so to clean up bounties." *5 hours later* "One more PVP match".

Though last night I was super tired.

It just said someone found a sated pulse rifle while we were still in a rumble match. Exotic by the way. Did he open a heavy ammo and get rewarded with an exotic? wtf happened lol.

I wanted the Hunter's version of the Alpha Lupi chest. The reviving perks with the invisibility abilities of Bladedancer go really well.

Is there a list of his stuff this week? Ain't on the app.

Not that it matters I'm at 5 strange coins lol.

Last night, goodness gracious.

I hit 24, let's get that out of the way first. I started playing at like 11 PM EST, figuring I'd just work on my Cruce bounties. Then I realized I could up my defense on my Legendary leggings with just a bit of Spinmetal and Plasteen. So I picked up some Cosmo bounties and went rolling.

I went to sleep at 4. Because I figured, "Oh maybe just a strike now that I'm 24. Oh and there's a side mission I can do. Oh is this a farm spot, why is everyone shooting into that cave. Oh my god finally a Public Event with people in it. Well jeez I should at least try this stuff out in a PVP match or three."

I defy anyone to try and stop playing this game. Ever.

I have two level 20's and have been losing sleep since 9/9. This game is something else. Like others have said its a miracle I am functioning at work at all.

I am SO dumb. I was wondering why I still couldn't buy armour after playing for so long... Turns out New Monarchy all require Crucible Marks, and it was stopping me from levelling up. I made it almost LV3 New Monarchy before realising =(

I haven't played many MMO's since FF11... but this game moves at lightning pace compared to that. I took me a full year to get my ninja to level cap in that damn game. A FUCKING YEAR.

Kinda the same here. Of course, I've dumped an insane amount of time (for me at least) in the game since I got it. Have a level 22 Hunter, 21 Titan, and 16 Warlock. Want to get the Warlock softcapped before I start the grind.

I stated this the other day, but it's insane how many games Im the only one in the room that doesn't get anything after crucible matches. One of my last games of control, everyone got two items, most blue, one got a legendary! I got nothing, despite carrying the team.

I've only gotten one purple so far (helmet for my titan) and no yellows. :(

Exactly! Most of the time when the Americans see me online it's because I'm staying up all night!
