I hope there is a lot more stuff to do after leveling all the way up. I know your character traits aren't at all done when you are level 21 or whatever the Max level is, so you end up with a bunch of powers and upgrades to work towards as well as loot

Bungie basically said the core game really starts once you hit level 20, so I am assuming there will be.

After you level cap you continue to gain XP and can earn what is called a "mote of light" which allows you to purchase special items from the speaker. Your level may cap but I bet the weapons level won't and you will be able to find legendary weapons that would be the equivalent of lv21+

Yea some of those vanguard weapons are nuts in terms of damage they do. There are a lot of unlockable weapons too.

The a50s don't have the frequency response to match my sennheiser set. That's really the reason I'm gonna keep em.

I'm using a Schiit Magni paired with a Schiit Modi, and AKG K712 headphones. I was very surprised when the PS4 recognized my DAC without me needing to do anything special. I don't currently use a mic, but I could just use a USB microphone if I wanted.

I am number 2 in line to pick up my ps4 and ghost edition. About 30 people in line and the store had about 500 pre-orders.

Gonna get my number and come back at about 11:45.

Why on earth are you lined up so early cmdrdredd?
Cause you have to get a number starting at 6:00 to determine your place in line at midnight. You come in at 6:00, pay it off or if you already paid it off you get a final receipt with a number on it. That number is your place in line. So when I come back to get it at midnight I will be the second customer through the door.

There was 60 people in line when I left. Now I get the first ghost edition and i get the first white console. So I know mine won't be beat up.

I did the same thing for the ps4 and the xb1 launches.

That is crazy they did it so early. Usually (when I worked at GS), we did it around 9.

They do it earlier here so people can get their number and then go I guess.

Some pics of the PS4 bundle and the Ghost edition. The Ghost figure has two settings. One turns on the lighting as you can see in the picture, the second mode will turn on a motion activated recordings of Peter Dinklage as your Ghost that says various things. It recharges the battery via micro usb and it's quite heavy duty. High quality.

The Boxes


The Inner PS4 box once the sleeve is removed


The Console with the sealed disk copy of the game


Ghost edition box with sleeve removed


What you see when you remove the top of the box


The Ghost figure with lights on


The Steelbook case that houses the game and the booklet that holds the starmap, postcards, weapon field guide etc. This sits underneath the ghost figure.

Man, that set looks so awesome I'm not really into such things, but it looks impressive!

Anyway, played it for 30 minutes before hitting the sack yesterday - seems they did some graphical changes in the final version? There's a lot of lens flare now for example when the first Fallen ships send reinforcements. Also, had some errors for some of the additional content download. Had do delete them from my Download queue and then use the website to queue them again (console thought they're downloaded already).

Got my new ship and Ghost skin ready. I also got the stress test emblem and the early-something emblem.

No idea where the Vanguard armory is. I guess it's not the usual robot in the docking area? Since you can buy stuff there using Vanguard marks, which anyone can get...

Btw. I immediately got sucked into the game again Was hoping to get the platinum trophy for D3 before Destiny, but that might not happen anymore


EDIT: Also, loading times are LONG AS F*** ! Even longer than in Beta it seems...

The load times may be server related. I don't know, but there are a lot of people downloading from bungie and trying to connect all at the same time. It may change as things settle down.

The vanguard armory is the robot you mentioned. Not everyone has access yet, you gain access through gameplay. Pre-orders just get access right away without unlocking it and an emblem.

Load times aren't too bad for me. But I'm installed to an SSD. Only waiting I've had that was significant was visiting the tower earlier.

Waiting to get off work so I can pick it up at Gamestop.

Metacritic user reviews aren't good, saying it short and for all we know it could be but how have people been able to see how short it is? The game hasn't been out long enough to know if that's true or not.

Eh it isn't a very long story, I'm level 15 and have finished pretty much every story mission except those on mars (level 15+). But most of the game is post level 20. So I'll wait and see.

It barely just released how are they just rating it based on story? I mean I hope people know it's not just a single player game. I'm picking mine up at lunch but I can't log out and try it until later.

What's meant by most of the game isn't until after level 20?

So, I am going to wait until this weekend to buy it. I have a ton of work to do and I know it is going to only distract me. I might not be able to resist it's call if it is installed on my Xbox One!

Apparently today was the worst day I could choose to work from home. Everyone in the office is pointing to me as the go to person for a bunch of crap..hopefully I can at least install the game today.
