Is anyone still playing this game? (Destiny)

I still haven't bothered to do this, it seems to require quite a bit of grinding in the Pale Heart and I had already done a bunch of that stuff before realizing there was some specific stuff to do to get the fragments. As always with Destiny, the answer to this question is just, look it up before you waste a bunch of time figuring it out.

Thanks, I'll definitely do that then. It's a shame they're still making that so annoying.

I've done a bit of the Renegades campaign, which is fun, and I hope to finish it over the holiday break.

So I finished the campaign for Renegades today and I really liked it. It was fun to play through, and for like the first time ever in Destiny there's some vehicle segments that don't suck (sorry, the Drake is the least fun vehicle I've ever used in a video game). I also thought the story was pretty decent. I'll have to go back and do Edge of Fate, I guess, to get the context of what's going on with the Nine, but they're already more interesting than the Witness ever was.

The new activity is also tons of fun. It's still the typical Destiny encounter design (put the thing in the basket, stand in the circle to fill up a meter, etc.), but if you play on Master or higher difficulty you can be invaded by other players and it's really fun on both sides of that equation.

I haven't bothered with The Portal - I don't see what it would get me, the content I care about (raids and campaign) doesn't require leveling so why would I level to be able to do harder versions of what I'm playing to level?

I don't quite understand how the scoring stuff works, but maybe it's a decent way to get high tier armor?
