Destiny-The game where you feel alone...

I've got a good 10 hours or so in, and I'm really enjoying it so far. However, I'm currently lvl 14, and I've only grouped with one other person for about 7 minutes. And as far as talking or communicating with another player- it hasn't happened. This is mainly because there's no easy way to do it. There is no form of prox chat (inexcusable in my mind). Another issue with attempting to join a fireteam (PS4) is you must completely EXIT the game and go to your dashboard to do so. Even if you do that, Bungie has decided that by default you can only join a "friends" fireteam. So what are the odds that I'll run into someone that's on my friends list? The odds boggle the mind. I also understand people not wanting randoms joining them, but to set this as default? Wtf? This game is loads of fun, but from my perspective, and experiance up until now, it could have easily been a single player campaign. I really, really hope Bungie decides to implement some form of simple communication (prox chat comes to mind). Obviously, there should be an option to disable this for those who prefer not to communicate. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to play with others, only to be thwarted by an frustrating /outdated communication system, and just plain getting sick of closing the game out during a fight to try and get some random pub next to me to help out. I don't have many gamer friends- as a father with two little girls, the soccer mom crowds I hang around with have no idea what Destiny is- So I rely solely on people I meet in game to play with. I've heard people say "it'll be implemented soon", but I've yet to see one word from Bungie.

  • Couldn't agree more. I see that when you set your destination to the Tower it says 'Social' but I have to ask, what's the social part about it if players can't hear or even touch one another? The purple ball, the soccer ball and the fan can still offer a few minutes of play time but that's about it. And if I make a tour around any map I can't find more than 5 players in an area. Public events, strikes, the Crucible, all would be better by adding the possibility of voice chat outside of your fireteam. And if I set my fireteam to public (in the unlikely case that someone will join) I want it to stay that way instead of having to change it again every time I log in. The waving and dancing on the D-pad don't mean anything to me without communication. Anyone who can easily get a couple of friends for doing a weekly strike or daily story has an advantage over someone who is just as good but didn't have the chance to find some partners. If I don't have friends, but I want to make some give me a chance to do it please.(I'm on Xbox 360)
