Yup. Bandwidth aside this should never be a problem for any online game on any platform. It's based on user ID, not IP.

Fair enough. My friends and I are enjoying the game right now but it does leave a lot to be desired. These are my issues that I have.
No story to speak of
Repetitive missions
Dull worlds that offers little reason for exploring
Bullet sponge bosses that take too long to defeat
No communication options in the tower
No Matchmaking for when your friends are unavailable
Lack of customization options
Unbalanced MP
I dont see this game having legs, just like Titanfall.

The life bar can be a little deceptive. Remember that you have ~3 times as much armor/shields as you do health. So if you got someone to half health, you were actually 7/8th of the way to killing them.
(I'm assuming this is how it works, at least)

Alright, I figured it would be fine. But wanted to make sure before going out and buy two copies of a game I only plan on playing with my buddy.
Ugh. Just went on the worst strike mission I've had so far. It was the one with the tank boss. We had to redo the tank 3 times because 1 guy thought it would be okay to just stand in 1 spot and get nuked while the other guy kept charging in with his super when the boss had low health..
At least I got a legendary out of it..

Emblems? either buy them from special vendors or on the otherside of the postmaster there is a special order person that sells a few for glimmer.

I totally didn't realize that subclasses unlock account-wide once one character is level 15.

I am getting the worst loot in this game just hit level 20 and got maybe under 10 blue and everything else green!

I didn't get a single blue piece before I hit level 20 today. After I hit 20, I got 1 from the daily story mission (I think), and 2 from my first vanguard strike.
Edit: starting to roll in the blues now, getting 2 or 3 per vanguard strike it seems.

I got one blue piece, and i think it was gloves.
If anyone wants to do some strikes tonight just send me a message. You have to be level 18 i think to even do the first one. So far i am loving this game.

Is there a way to give away my gear. I have some rare stuff and the rest is uncommon head to toe.

Around what time? I'm taking a break now to eat and stuff but I plan on hopping back on a little later. I've been dying to try out some strikes so I'd be game.
Also, I've been pretty lucky with gear. No legendary or exotic yet but I'm looking good so far...

Nice. You get all that from crucible, then? I haven't done crucible since I hit 20 yet (about to). Just the level 20 strikes, and haven't gotten anything with more than 5 light yet (haven't done that much, though).
I hate the pvp giveaway. Im consistently top score and dont get jack, while those at the bottom get 2 items. Still have yet to get a legendary item.
It sucks that the weekly strike has no matchmaking, so if anyone wants to team up feel free to add me.

Nope all my gear I've acquired through looting solo. I have yet to touch the Crucible or done anything outside of solo.
Edit: Just farming for spinmetal and I picked up two rare engrams and a rare ship schematic. (My second of the day.)

Easiest way is by doing vanguard strikes. Level 20s and up give marks (if you hover your cursor over them, they'll tell how much). The daily story missions and weekly strikes also give marks. Trading in material can also get you marks (along with other stuff), either crucible marks or vanguard marks depending on who you trade it into).
They unlock at level 18. They'll show up on the orbit screen as "vanguard"

So, I've noticed that the light level on my armor is actually changing (I think...not 100% positive). I'm not exactly sure when it changed, though. Anyone know how this mechanic works? Did it just change when I upgraded it? Do these missions that say "armor upgrade" have anything to do with it? Does it just increase as you gain exp while wearing the items? Will it keep increasing, or does it only increase a little bit? Or am I just imagining it, and it didn't actually change to begin with?
Edit: Starting to think I was just imagining it.

If anyone wants to fireteam up and take out the Weekly Strike lmk. It is the Devil's Nest one from Earth, so I know I wont be able to do the spiderbot solo (I can barely survive the part where U have to get rid of the laser grid) as even though i'm level 22 w/ good defense, the enemies still hit super hard

Another code that I haven't posted before for another Emblem:
N3L-XN6-PXF
It's for Emblem: The Unimagined Plane.
If you have an Arc Rocket Launcher or an Arc Sniper/Fusion Rifle, I would highly suggest using it for the mission. Normally the Rocket Launcher does 2k damage for me but it was hitting for 7k+ when I used it during the strike. Same with the Sniper, which was hitting for 4k a hit.

That's because they all deal Arc damage and Arc damage is buffed from the modifier. I'm level 25 and still died in very easily from even Dregs when I did it last night. Since there is no revive timer, it makes it much more difficult as well. Particularly in the defense wave early on and the waves from the final boss. Oh and like 70% of the enemies are armored.

When I hit level 21, I was gonna start looking for a group. If you don't mind having a level 21, I'll join ya.
P.S. Took me a while to realize you had joined my fireteam last night. Sorry if I ignored you for a while

Lemme tell ya something arite:
My entire opinion of Destiny based on the beta has been invalidated by the completely amazing work of the final product by develops.
I love this game, and I think its great, best shooter ive played since Far Cry 3, I mean this thing is at the level of borderlands, which was my favorite FPS, but this is even better, and I am told by my girlfriend whos an former xbox player, that this is halo + BL2. if that's really what destiny is, I vote FPS of year, perhaps GOTY if it turns out to be more fun than the last of us in the end for me.
Great game. I spent hours playing BL2, but what I didn't like was the lack of AI Shooters and less melee attacks besides super bosses. Its like your either getting shot to shit or you are getting pummelled. I like this game because it has the RPG of BL 2 (actually it looks like they nearly copied it) and then you got the AI of KZ coop and like really good survival shooter type matches
I don't really get the MP but Im glad they have one, I thought it was all online. Also don't understand the interaction of other people during your match, for instance....if its your story mission, and they are playing but not in your fireteam, do you share the loot picked up or from enemies killed, or like BL2 first come first served and one only?
Anyway, GREAT
ing game.
Funniest part: MY WOMAN PLAYS IT MORE THAN ME cuz she used to be addicted to halo, so I barely get to play now on weekends.

All loot, ammo, etc that you see is for you. Everyone gets their own stuff, which I LOVE about this game. I hate dashing towards loot to have a chance to get something new.

I also like that if I miss a rare or legendary engram, it appears in the Lost & Found at the Tower.
I thought that was only if it falls off a cliff or something? Someone tested it and missed an engram on purpose and it didn't show up there later. :/
Not entirely sure as I never notice the ones I find in the Lost & Found. The chance at missing a Strange Coin, Mote of Light or the chance at a Legendary item isn't something I want to do, so I haven't actually tested it myself.

speaking of armor,
HOW do you get the necessary red funds to buy something in the vanguard armory?
it looks like "crucible" parts, but what is that? I saw the MP have crucible things but I don't see anywhere else?
I want some guns and I cant buy them with the "material" looking blue money, and I don't have any other funds

You get Vanguard Marks from Vanguard Strikes. They appear at level 16, but start at level 18 and go up to 24. There are also Daily/Weekly Challenges/Missions/Strikes/Whatever that give Marks, plus other stuff depending on difficulty.
To get reputation for other Vendors (New Monarchy, Future War Cult and Dead Orbit) require you to be level 20. Then buy their legendary class item that turns all rep gained into their reputation.

I read that Destiny shipped to stores $500 million in games. The cost of the game development and advertising is $500 million. I've read articles saying it's already broken even but that's actually unclear. Based on their press release they either sold 8.3 million copies (gross retail sales of 500 million) or 12.5 million (publisher actually getting 500 million ). In the former situation, Activision needs to ship millions more. In the latter, Activion has broken even so long as all these copies sell for $60 or they're able to sell millions more at lower prices.
Take these announcement with a grain of salt.

The only thing I hate so far is that there is no matchmaking to speak off in competitive multiplayer. How can a low level character even enjoy it if his paired to almost max people players. Can't even give out enough damage to dent my enemies. Sheesh. I'm just there to feed experience point to them. Tsk

Considering its a new IP. That's already a success to break even. It already proved that an install base is possible. It'll get better.

I literally just explained that they haven't broken even. I have no doubt that they will eventually but it may not happen until they've sold through an expansion or two.

While there are some things that give people slight advantages, damage isn't one of them. Weapons of the same type cause the same amount of damage in regular Crucible regardless of level. This has been explained dozens of times here.
Could be worse. I bought my Exotic Gauntlet from the Strange Coin Vendor. Then the first Legendary Engram I got was a Legendary Gauntlet. Every other Legendary Engram after that has been Ascendent Energy or Blue Items.
I'm two Motes of Light away from buying the Exotic Chest Engram and chances are that when I identify it, it will be a blue item (Probably not possible, but the game will find a way) or Ascendent Energy/Shards. I will be pissed if that's the case.

Yes, there is matchmaking. It's based on skill, not level, for reasons others have pointed out.

FYI, weekly strike is hard at lvl 20. We tried with me at lvl 21, and two other lvl 20s, and didn't really have much of a shot. I suggest everyone being at least 21, and probably 22+, to have a decent shot.

Fuuuuuuuuu. I bought my Exotic Engram from the NPC and while I got an Exotic Chest, it's for Titan and I'm a Warlock. It's a nice one though.
Bring Arc based weapons if at all possible. Helps immensely.
Correct. Most enemies are armored, so you want to be level 22 to be able to do 100% damage. Plus you'll receive less damage, not that you can tell much due to the fact their damage is increased because of the random multiplier.
