you can find spaceship drops in destiny and the loot table for the raid has 3 separate ships iirc. but the only time you ever see your ship is in loading screens so yeah, you can find epic loading screens in destiny

destiny also features a clan function that serves literally no purpose in game and can only be accessed through their social network facebook knock-off thing

bungie also just patched in voice support for matchmade groups like 2 weeks ago. but it's opt-in so unless everyone joins the voice channel you still can't say anything to the people around you. in an mmo. from the people who made prox chat a thing in halo2 ten years ago. it really can't be understated just how dumb bungie is

Kind of but also once the contract was up, the Halo guys who wanted to keep working on Halo, moved over. Apparently those were also the guys who knew how to make games

u can patch for bugs but u cant patch a game that is a piece of poo poo and isn't any fun and doesn't have a story or anything to do in it

matchmaking bein busted could be the thing... but i'm sure it gets fixed

edit: destiny has no raid matchmaking on purpose thus alienating people who don't know 5 other people who play destiny and thus have to use a 3rd party site that bungie acknowledges as a really good thing but refuses to incorporate into their game, to matchmake for them

I like how their reasoning for it is "because communication and teamwork are paramount" in the raids but they made it impossible to communicate with people not on your friends list so it was a self-fulfilling thing to not have matchmaking for raids

so for the new stupid dlc if you try to update your fully-upgraded exotic guns and armor to the new dlc values, it resets them to base and you have to re-level them. leveling an exotic from base to max is many days worth of dailies/bounties and tons of upgrade mats. this was apparently a deliberate decision and not a bug or anything. gg bungie

hahahaha wow. that is utter poo poo.
imagine if any other loot grinding game did that.

perhaps the ros expansion for diablo3, once installed, dropped you and everything you owned down to level 1.

i spent a lot of time getting to 30. i got teh full raid armor set and leveled up a bunch of exotics. all that time was wasted but that was alright because i got to keep the fruits of my lovely efforts. now it's worthless and essentially didn't matter, in addition.

im never playing destiny again or buying anything bungie makes in the future lol

what loving kills me is they released an update to leveling your exotic weapons that required you to dismantle other exotics to get special parts, but was better because you only needed one of these shards instead of 24 of the shard that already existed in the game. and they encouraged people to do this now, and didn't tell anyone what was going to happen... but it got leaked by gameinformer lmfao

also upgrading your poo poo will require a piece from xur, so not only will you have to regrind your weapons/armor that took for-loving-ever to grind in the first place, you'll also be subject to RNG in doing so. want to upgrade your knucklehead radar to max? sorry, it's universal remote and sunbreakers time, come back next week. bungie are hilariously bad

they also get really sensitive if you say anything bad about destiny and go "yeah well if it's such a bad game why did you *looks up gt/psn id* play it for 30 hours huh????? :smug:". it's the same people that brag about how they've got 400 hours of played time or w/e in a game that's only been out for 3 months.
