Destiny - Playing the Space and Fantasy Adventure

Hey Sheila sorry this has taken a while. I haven't played Destiny in a while but used to have a great time playing it with my son. He knew more about online playing and answered your questions as follows:

You make a friend by going close to a character say in the Tower and then you can press the left or right thumbstick (for PS3 its L3 or R3) and it brings up a selection of options for interaction, which includes sending them a message, inviting them to your fire team (which then goes on missions) and also for sending a friend request on the PS network so they become more permanent friends (though you can de-friend them if needed later).

Have you got your Sparrow yet? It helps with getting around

 

I play Destiny! I play on PS4 though. What do you play on? I haven't been on it in a while because Dragon Age stole my attention and I didn't have friends to play with.

 

I don't think there's really that much difference between consoles. Obviously the Xbox One and PS4 will have better graphics, and there might be differences in the controls because the PS4 has that touchpad on the controller. But aside from that it's the same game. I played a demo on my Xbox 360 before I got into the PS4 version and it was exactly the same but with a graphics downgrade.

 

The missions do get ridiculously hard after a while and the best way to deal with them is to get a fireteam together - that way you have 2 friends working with you to bring down the baddies. Its such a popular game that there are bound to be players around your level who you can team up with.

 

Just bought the game, got to lvl 20, then returned it in 5 days. The combat is amazing! But, the problem is the new DLC and the playerbase's advancement. Everyone is lvl 35 +, so finding people to play Strikes and form Fireteams is virtually impossible early-game. Worse still, they made multiplayer modes more focused on DLC players, simplifying and degrading a bit of the Base players' experience. Finally, the new level cap is higher for DLC players than base players, so base players will find themselves unable to find many people willing to play with them in PvE...
