What a blast (Destiny)

I'm tempted to do the same thing... it's just the thought of grinding through 1-26 from scratch that has kept me from taking the plunge.

Ask for help. I'm working on my fourth. You could also use the speedracer method having only one class x3 on the alternative platform.

I'm not going that route, and I'm beginning to realize that certain things will probably never come to pass. I'll likely never fully upgraded VoG raid armor for my baby titans, for example, simply because there will not be a need.

If I had more time, I would love to do that. But as it is I don't have as much time as I'd like to get all my PS4 gear upgraded. I really want to be able to play with my Xbox friends, but leveling 3 characters (even if its 3 of the same class) up to 30 is going to take anywhere from 10-20 hours per character (not to mention all the time I'd need to acquire and upgrade decent weapons), just so I can maybe do a raid once per week.

If I enjoyed the early game in Destiny, I'd probably go for it. But I really don't. I'm hoping against hope that Bungie will some day add the ability to bring characters across platforms. I know Xbox and Playstation really don't want that to be an option, but it would be such an incredible feature. I'd love to see Bungie fight for it.

Maybe at some point down the road they'll give us a faster way to get through the first 25 levels. At that point I would certainly consider doing it.

I do appreciate the offer though, both of you :)

The biggest obstacle in the way of playing with you is our different schedules, friend. I think the way the game has changed, one character can be raid-worthy without a lot of effort, and I'm sure with new Vanguard items for sale with the next DLC, keeping current won't be too time consuming. I'm finding good substitutes on the PS4. Good for Anything replaces my missing Atheon's Epilogue. Another NITC replaces my vision of confluence. Adapting without the old stand-bys and the best of the best armor might be a good antidote to the completionist urge.
