Progenitor is looking for more Guardians on Xbox One to join our ranks. We've been around since the vanilla days of Destiny and are looking for anyone who's laid back but plans on playing Destiny 2 long-term.

BOOM

I got ignored last time so I'm gonna try again.

How many of DestinyGAF are playing on XB1 and if there are, how wary would you be of including a silent player (me) in your group?

I'm on the verge of buying the damn thing with the season pass here.

Destiny 2 has started downloading on PS4! It's happening everybody!

EU?

Bungie still hasn't sent me my emblem code. I have heard about people not getting codes and then never hearing back from Bungie support UGH. At least I hope they give the money to people in Houston soon.

If you read the item description closely, the code is on a card that comes packaged with the pin. Gotta wait on that post man!
 
I'm confused on how to preload the game on PS4. I searched for Destiny 2 on the PlayStation store, found it, the store confirms that I purchased the digital deluxe edition, I click on that version and there is no option to download/preload (I can return to the game page, give it a thumbs up or rate it). Anyone else having this issue (MST in USA)? I'm glad I've got a week to figure this out.

I think you have to go to "library", "purchased games", and download from there.

Hmm, interesting they seem to to be following a similar release pattern to Destiny concerning the first DLC for Destiny 2, I wonder if that one will include a Raid too? Would be nice to have two meaningful Raids with meaningful gear/weapon rewards to play at the same time.

My favorite time in D1 was after Crota's End released and people were running Vault and Crota every week.

bah. I got caught up in PVP last night in the PC beta and now I'm considering getting the PS4 version and just selling/trading it in once I jump ship.

I was shocked that my usual co-op friend is somehow able to run it on his toaster from 2010. That's probably the best thing about the PC version for me, online games that my usual crew can't play (monster hunter, destiny) are always a downer because I feel like I'm blowing them off.

It's exciting to realize that we barely know anything about exotics in D2.

We were shown a few glimpses of some in the reveal trailers, the 3 weapons from the beta and the few we saw from the EDZ gameplay -- otherwise we know much less of what to expect compared to going into Destiny 1's release date.

I'm half and half about some exotics returning, assuming they've been tweaked and buffed to be more useful than in D1.

They really should just quash the useless ones, or make sure they can be purchased separately and not through Xur or as raid drops..

Separate missions to obtain said exotics would be a fun way to distinguish them as well... Maybe use a stupid gimmicky way you have to beat a boss with a 3/4 man team to get. Something different and fun to get the different and fun exotics...
 
As a final farewell to D1, I was thinking of doing one last raid. Either Kings or WotM Hard Mode. Though I really want to do Kings, a bunch of rusty players doing the jumping seems fun.

We're thinking 9 am EST on Saturday. Should be a good time for EU players to. It'd be 3 pm for Germany.

1) Weteha
2) Light Knight
3) Pandora
4) Gibb
5) Hawkian
6)

This is on Ps4, New players are welcome.

It's a good start, but they really need to have stuff consistent throughout the year. If we get these two DLCs and then have to wait a year for a TTK style expansion, it's D1's drought all over again.
Right I mean if you think about it it's probably just not worth playing at all :D
If you're in Coral Springs, FL...there's two left

hey ur right by me

this is what I'm most looking forward to personally :)

there will be some duds and misfires and ones that will need post-launch tweaks... but finding a whole new game's worth of favorites, when that was something I enjoyed so much about the first, is such a good feeling- plus, at Destiny launch the "exoticness" wasn't even unlocked when you first got the gun. Now all of them you can pick up and shoot.

I'm actually really excited for armor when we barely know about any and there's so much potential. There will be some that are uninspired I'm sure, but uncovering the gems will be a blast.

Normal or Hard? o_o

I'm in for 9am but would only have two hours to play sadly. Someone could take my spot if we're still going at that point of course

It'll be HM, I'll added you. We should be able to finish it in 2 hours. We have experience!

Oh fuck this game is next week. What the fuck I thought it was middle/late september like usual. Fuckfuckfuck.

I never got the plat for Destiny, anyone wanna organize a flawless raid for some time soon/this weekend/whenever? Crota's End would probably be the easiest by far.

I like your moxie

I'll prep my Spindle :>
I was about to ask the same thing. I'd like to preload it before the last minute.
I was perturbed enough by this to cancel my Amazon preorder and just buy a $100 PSN code, and then pre-order through the PSN store.

So that option is there if you want it.

Old news slash shhhhhhhh ;)

Honestly though I think Bungie did a yeoman's job of keeping this a total secret until the 2-week mark out from launch. I hope that there are at least some players out there who don't have it spoiled before discovering it in-game.

I'll take the day off on the 6th and then it's a long holiday weekend where i live. Five days playing Destiny 2.

And then i'll complain about lack of content.

Digital is the way to go.

Odds are that after a year you won't be able to switch to a digital version without having to repurchase the expansion packs.

Eventually, vanilla Destiny 2 will go away from the online store and you'll be stuck with buying a version that includes stuff that you already paid for.

I find this self-awareness somewhat arousing
Is D2 getting its own OT, or are we continuing in here?
Its own back on the gaming side, will be made by JohnOfMars.

Destiny back on the real front page, guardinos

Brace yourselves for the insane stream of shitposting.

And about the content i believe D2 is packed with things to do. I'll probably have a hard time keeping three characters up to date.

And i'll do everything again come october 24th.

Sounds good, I'll try to keep looking for ppl but with Crota's End you could totally do flawless with <6.

Awesome stuff:

Crota's End Flawless trophy run:
(11pm est Sat. 9/2)

- Zacano
- Cornbread78
- Hawkian

Doing the RoI run Friday night and then the Flawless run on Sat. night will be an awesome way to send off D1!

I just hope for some more exotic exotics, so many of them in TTK seemed to have some sort of "regenerate ammo" perk and not much else.

Managed to avoid most media for D2, so I'll go in as blind as possible. I'm not one to get hyped but the anticipation is certainly growing.

Same here. I've only watched the trailers so far and have tried to stay as blind as possible to everything else. I'm hoping for a pleasant surprise with everything!



Is the Xbox One community thriving? I've switched to that as my main console so I'm going in relatively friendless.

There is an NeoGAF Xbox clan set up that you can join
