@spaceinsomniac: Will do! Thanks man :D

Looking hard for a zombies crew my PSN ID is KenoriMerrik, also forget Jeff everyone knows zombies is the best part of Call of Duty Black Ops.

Its a good thing this didn't happen to Brad and Crew during the raid.

Best thing I can think is that we killed him and dropped the Darkness Zone JUST as he blasts us with light for the last time and we couldn't fail out of it.

Not for me. Its seemed like I was just doing constant patrols trying to get to the next story mission.

Its exactly what Diablo 3 did with Loot 2.0: More drops, more useable drops, more interesting drops.

Its what got me back into that game and its what got me into this game.

I didnt realize you'd still be getting experience from older missions. I just assumed the game was like most MMOs, in that after a certain point enemies give you no more XP, rendering pretty much a good chuck of the original story moot.

Yeah, thats the story I've been getting from a lot of people.

And I dont know about before, but I really like the way the DLC in integrated into the game to prevent you from having to farm the same patrols/strikes/bounties over and over until you can do the next same story quest. I did 1 patrol for about 20 minutes just to see what it was about, and ive done each strike once as theyve come up, and ive completed just the bounties that i do as I go, and all the other leveling I've done was through story missions.

I think the DLC mission integration is probably the best thing they've done with this game.

I started this 2 days ago, and I went from level 7 to level 23 in the span of about...maybe 10 hours total.

So a bit of backstory to start with: I played Destiny's demo period to level 7, absolutely could not STAND the glacial pace of the games progression, but I thought that just about everything else was interesting. The combat was a blast, the music and visuals are gorgeous, and your actual abilities were perfect for the kind of game they were making. But, on the whole I decided not to buy it. As the DLC piled up and then The Taken King was announced at 40 dollars, I never thought I'd actually pick up the game. And then the Legendary Edition came out with everything for 60, and I thought that this was the perfect time with the new 2.0 system to give it a show.

First things first, MAN does this game level you out fast now. I started the game late-ish yesterday with my level 7 character, and I managed to hit level 18 before I went to bed. Gone are the endless days trolling through the patrol missions trying to get to the next level or two so you can do the next story mission. It also helps that the House of Wolves and The Dark Below have been adjusted so they can be done by low level characters, making it easy to just keep doing story missions and maybe the strikes as they appear. I haven't done a single patrol this entire time, and THANK GOD for that.

And also THE ENGRAMS! DEAR GOD THE ENGRAMS! SO MANY ENGRAMS! I am constantly finding green and even several blue engrams where before I could barely find a white. I actually wondered at first if it was because of my level, but the more I hear talk about how the loot system has changed, the more I think that it would have been just as much of a slog to get from 7 to 18 without the new system.

Overall, Brad was right, I feel like Destiny has gone through the same evolution that Diablo III did, right down to the changes in loot drops being more prevalent, and with those changes made and the game much more streamlined, I feel like it is a much more enjoyable experience in the long run.

We'll see if the game can keep up this kind of place as I near 20 and 25 and start hopefully finding legendary engrams. Fingers are crossed.

Is the game cross-play?

Whoo boy, this one was tough.
