I didn't miss anything.... Correction... Your friend CAN join you at anytime provided there is enough space.... I randomly drop in on friends unannounced all the time. I love being able to see what they're doing right from the roster screen. Correction ... there is plenty of acknowledgement that they are fixing changing lots of things. They release a weekly update with planned patches and changes... This one mentions a rather large number of them, many they are keeping secret for the time being but will be implemented before Xmas... A previous update mentioned a rather large patch coming that is still in certification and will be added "soon". Correction... The story is fine there just isn't enough of it. But having played any MMO you'd know the stories in them usually suck and are meaningless anyway.... Still we'll see if they improve on it in the future. As far as Communication and being pulled to orbit well I won't argue that but the game is constantly improving so it's only a matter of time before that gets patched in.

    I'm not at home but I'm pretty sure join player is not a selection from the roster screen. I've done it once before but I think I had to bounce out of the game to the dashboard and push my way in. You know, I've read these updates and they mention things in them. But there's no point in hiding it. I'm even tired of MMOs when they do it. If you have an idea express it. I mean they finally did it with iron banner. They are finally discussing with the community in a round about way but I now know what they expect iron banner to be. Where there design goals are going. I'm happy about that. This update wasn't a vague "we are adding some stuff but don't want to tell you yet." At this point communication about their goals for PvE is paramount. Working on fixing the story? Tell me about it. Say we are fixing the story. Each week they should be updating us about progress. At least a "hey guys still not ready to discuss details but we are fixing our jacked up narrative" I'm not saying all MMOs have a solid storyline, though I think biowares The Old Republic would like to have words with you. I apologize if I said no story. But honestly what we got for story was probably already on the box. All the information I have about the story could have been on the back of the box. Traveller brings darkness, world is in chaos with only a city left. Fight darkness. Check. There are some interesting possible plot lines but they start to get you interested and it just disappears from the game. Hey it's Rasputin he's this awesome warmind from the golden age and he's gone. Oh well let's go check out the moon because of the hive seeders they are attacking the earth, but there's a ritual going on and we found a piece of the traveller. Wtf? Are there more? Edit: and I started rambling. But the story finally gains speed by then and the just drops off to a none existent reveal. Ultimately we have learned nothing about the world of destiny except the darkness is doing stuff.

  • It's an option... Click the name on the roster menu and a box should appear. The top option should say "join Fire team" there's also an option to inspect the players gear and a couple others i don't think I've ever used lol. Unless it's somehow different on X1 but I kinda doubt it. When you click thier icon it will display where they are and what they are doing as well. For example one might say "in orbit" and other might say "in the tower" and another might say "playing vault of glass" Instructions for this game are piss poor and nothing is ever explained. The Story is short and goes no-where I wont deny that.... I think Bungie tried to make it "episodic" but just didn't let it go far enough... What is there is decent enough there just wasn't nearly enough of it. I'm sure it will expand over time if you're interested enough and willing to wait that long. I'm sure there might be a few MMO's out there that had great stories but by and large the vast majority are just throw aways.... I played Wow for 2 years and have no clue what the story was about and couldn't name a single charachter... Same could be said for several other MMO's I've played over the years. As fas as bungie being open with everyone about what they're doing... That will never happen and for good reason. Fans take every scrap of information and treat it like gospel. If they release a concept photo that doesn't make it into the game fans will rage that it was cut even tho it may not have ever made it past the brainstorming stage. If they say we're thinking of doing it this way... Fans will interpret that as a promise and if for some reason changes need to be made they'll fight and argue and rage about that too.... it's important for devs to never give away too much info too soon. Gamers have a ridiculous memory.
