Yeah, I'm playing the **** out of this game. Graythreat on PS4 if anyone wants to do some raids or strikes.
Loving this game so far. My wife ended up having yesterday off work and we got through everything on Earth and the Moon (except for the Moon's strike mission). Too bad she had to work today and I'm stuck waiting to progress further with my Titan character. I'll get into the Crucible at some point, but I don't have much interest at the moment.
It's fun.. But how long will it last? I'm all for instant gratification but I think the leveling is pretty fast, I have no reason to go back and do the missions over really because this game gifts you EXP like candy. That's my initial impression of the progression so far but I guess I really have to wait til I get to 20 to see if it paces out. You really can't beat the feeling of an engram though and the anxiousness of going back to the tower to see what you had found. Haven't seen one public event so far in my play through and I've been doing a lot of patrol.
The crucible challenges were pissing me off last night... just got the game and Im only a level 6 but was playing with level 18-20s.
I had one public event in the Beta on Earth but it was just me and another guy (I was lvl 8, he was like lvl 6 or 4), and just yesterday my wife and I were playing a mission on Venus and a public event came up. It was nuts! It was awesome to see like 6 guardians (of varying levels) come together and hold it down. Sadly I didn't finish in the Gold Tier though.
Weapons are supposed to be balanced for everyone in the Crucible at least. I'm personally going to hold off until level 20 to do Crucible stuff though if I can, in case perks still count (which I think they do).
Yeah, perks still matter... specially if theres a 10 level difference haha But the crucible has some quick and easy XP Bounties for just playing in them, you dont even have to win. Thats what Im trying to get accomplished right now to level up.
Played level 4 on earth, the patrol area....was walking, see a bunch of blue dots, run over, I am coming up from behind the enemies.....a bunch or warlock melee attacks, and the humans run from cover and we all start blasting the aliens....holy ****! IT was like a planned sneak attack, but it was on the fly! You could tell they were amped by my arrival, as they all scattered and we went to town! Man that was fun as hell!
I concur. Makes the game much more enjoyable. Also, while you're leveling, do a mix of everything; exploration, dead ghosts, gold chests, crucible, story, strikes, do it all. It'll vary your experience and make your leveling feel a lot more complete. What's nice is you'll still get skills after you hit level 20. Since my post about the public events I've seen 4-5 during patrols but more often than not I've been the only one doing them.
This is bull****. I have to work late tonight and tomorrow I have to be up early to tailgate for the Iowa/Iowa State game. Guess I'll get to play after the Dolphins game... At least none of the afternoon games intrigue me that much.
They either added a strike playlist, or I unlocked it when I hit level 16. I'm excited for those strikes once I get through the story.
It unlocks at 16 and I haven't tried it yet, but you can definitely handle the first two (separate from the playlist) on Earth and the Moon. I was level 10 and 15 when I did those, respectively. You get guaranteed goodies at the end.
Stupid question... if you don't have a Playstation Plus account (I haven't bought mine yet), how does this game work, what features do you not have? I mean with Watch Dogs, I think I was getting some online features. I've got games that I haven't finished yet and have just been too busy... so probably won't buy this until the end of the year.
No PSN? Laaaaame. Just got mine too, specifically for this game. I'm not 100% sure but the strikes have a PSN logo so I'm sure you can't do those, and multiplayer im sure you'd be locked out of.
