It's nearly here!

I was a fan of the first one, although I would have to call it a flawed gem. Hopefully the new one addresses the issues. I haven't preordered mine yet. I hope it's not too late!

That is nice of you to call Destiny 1 a gem.

Ranting - D1 was really the only game for "next gen" consoles at the time of release. The numerous holes in the game and storyline was a short coming. The DLC should've been free. I cant believe that Bungie said the D1 would last 10 years, and wouldn't have a sequel but a major DLC.

Not Ranting - The beta was fun, just as grindy as the first one. I played about 10 hours of the beta. I'm Interested to see how many thing play out, with gear and the story. I slightly agree with the masses in saying that this game feels like a polished DLC. The enemies are re skinned from the first one, and the new ones are a nice change.

I'm so exited for the launch I'm working 60 hours so I miss the launch on purpose (my clan mates will carry me, I'm a good backpack!)

My friends/clan played it into the wee morning (digital download), They loved every part of it, I cant go into detail as I wasn't playing it, but I cant wait for Saturday!

They did have some issues with the game, some stuff wasn't loading in, or would say it wasn't available. Plus the occasional disconnects from Destiny Servers.

Sounds great! I knew there would be some teething troubles but hopefully these can be overcome.

I'm sorry that I won't be able to use my character going forward (Xbox 360 copy) but it can't be helped. Actually, if all the equipment is gone, would it even matter?

The Beta really made it seem like Destiny 1 with just a touch more but the actual game is much more robust; the planet areas are much bigger, prettier, and enemies are more numerous. The story is much better told and more entertaining than the first time around but it also feels like some elements were not upgraded when they could have been. The character creation is exactly the same as it was in Destiny 1 with no new options in any way.

For the xbox 360 porting over thing, you get some dances, and emblems from what my friends said if you use the same gamer-tag.

It definitely doesn't go cross consoles does it? My Xbox 360 character and anything they have that I might salvage will be trapped in there unless I buy a One right?

No nothing gets transferred, it stuff that's associated with your gamer tag. so if you from a xbox 360 to PS4 you lose your stuff,
but keep in mind its just an emblem or other rando stuff. Nothing game important, like if you dont transfer your character you lose the Icebreaker or Gally. its just stuff to say yeah I played D1.

It would have been nice to keep my Future Cult Emblems and Shaders and anything else but I can live without them.

In better news, my copy just arrived!

I'll probably check it out at some point. Can you share your character/unlocks/whatever on the xbox or pc version like Gears or War? Would be nice. Personally I'm gonna wait for the PC version, kinda bummed it's coming a month later, but I guess consoles are where the real cash is.

wut?
been playing it for a week now and never seen any hint of timetravel.

apart from that, prolly the best shooter pve coop game on the marked right now, but it is as every1 says, it is not a new game it is an expasion for destiny 1 where they finaly fixed the game.
only sad thing is, they added a micro shop for shaders(that now is 1 time consumable)and spaceship+sparrow skins.
your not forced to buy them tough as you will get 1 cash shop engram every time you level after you hit 20. (same xp bar system as division uses when you hit max cara lv)

No. There is fast travel though on the planets, which is a nice quality of life update.

Personally, I love Destiny 2. I picked it up Saturday evening at Target while we were back-to-school clothes shopping for my girls but didn't get it to play it until Sunday morning. I played it pretty much all morning (I wake up early) until lunchtime on Sunday and then again for a little bit that evening. I was off Monday so I played it some more in the morning and then again in the evening, making it to level 20 and completing the main story line. I still have a pretty low power level (low 240s) and there's tons of more stuff to do, especially with the raid opening this week.

By the way, anyone playing on Xbox One can add me to their friends list: RoII Fizzlebeef (the l's in Roll are capital i's)

According to Bungie the first expansion is supposed to have some element of time travel in it, either just in the story but maybe in a strike/raid, as it is about a race that screws with time a lot: the Vex. That could be where the information came about.

I have put 20ish hours in D2. I only have one complaint so far they dont give you a sparrow until you reach level 20... Which I think was a way to draw out the story a little longer. The visuals and soundtrack are way better than D1.

When you load your previous character you get a little remember scene in the beginning of the game, like you did Vault of Glass for the first time with said people and so on. I think the armor is a better light level, but you get your quickly. I didnt transfer my Titan that wasn't level 20 yet (I was running 3 Warlocks and deleted one but stopped playing D1)

I would recommend if you played one, but it still has some shenanigans as the first one did, you'll see. I helped clan mate get all 3 of their characters to level 20, and didn't get sick of doing story missions.

The majority of time spent is exotic farming on Titan, getting ready for the raid. 3

My clan just merged with another in order to get more clan points (more glimmer and what not)

I would have loved to have carried my titan over. Even for small details like that. I've made an exact copy of him but it'll never be quite the same. Did you get to carry over any gear for the first bit or were you still limited to that red and white suit?

The only thing that carries over is the visual of the character but no items or reputation levels. I watched the memory on my main from D1 but after that I made all new characters.

I think if you spent silver in D1 you got some refunded, I'm not 100% sure though.

Having a Clan is a must, which can be bad if you are a solo player. But with Bungie app and what not Clanning Up isn't hard to find.

Came back to Dakka after months away after I realized I was still part of the Dakka Dakka Destiny clan (Daka). There are three of us and Yakface. No idea who is active anymore, but we have 10k Xp thus far.

No wargames these days, more DM/Painting.

Played a few hours of it last night, switching between warlock and titan. I enjoyed what I played, got destroyed in the crucible but my light level may have been too low (hand cannons reigned supreme). If anyone has or is thinking of forming a clan hit me up and i'll join, no problem.

Light level does not affect Crucible as level advantage is disabled.

you were probably coming out below on gunfights as you may have been using uncommon/ rare quality weapons against higher grade weapons and armour which have more perks. give yourself some time to get to those weapons and armour and you'll find yourself on a more even playground

Or I could just suck, you could also put it down to map awareness.

Anyone else disappointed with character customisation this time round ? Was hoping for beards at least
