But it works that way with all of the primary weapons. It shares your pool of ammunition, even when you switch weapons.

And green ammunition looks all the same on the ground, I don't really see your point.

wasn't a point just giving you a possible reason why it happens might just be a glitch too
 
Spent some more time with it, and I am loving it. I still can't beat the Wizard on The Tower, however, I did beat the Spider Tank. The only minor gripe I have is that I hate that enemies seem to respawn during boss battles.

What's even the point of having levels though if you can get to level 20 within two days?

Seems bizarre to me.

Guild Wars level cap was 20 and I don't think it harmed the game. After that it was about getting gear and unlocking new skills.

Enemies come in waves during boss battles in order to refill your ammunition. Otherwise you'd run out because the bosses have a large amount of health.

Down on the D-Pad. Just slide your finger off the stick while pushing it forward.
For an action that requires holding two things with one finger, it works surprisingly well. It's a very smart control scheme.

Thanks, this works indeed really well. I would like to have the Ghost on the rear touchpad though, thrown a couple of grenades by accident while trying to activate the Ghost. Maybe me fingers are just too short.

Shotgun+Melee all day. They really need Special ammo to be just as rare as heavy ammo.

Yup. This is totally true. The problem then, is that leaves one gun for normal use. I hate to say it, but the sniper and the shoty both need some work. Shotty needs to be weakened and have a larger cone, sniper needs to give better feedback when you hit someone and needs to shoot a bit slower so you can't double tap for kills.

LOL encountered an interesting bug. When the Fallen Captains are about to die, they just stop shooting you, only they can't be killed.

Looks like it's a common issue on the Alpha boards. Happened to me as well (during the Devil's Lair strike).

I have two things on the earth map, one story mission and one explore and I have beat both.

The Outfitter has color shader items listed, but they can not be purchased in the alpha. (can't remember what the requirements for purchase was)

For his location check the map when you enter the Tower.

Gear. You gotta have some way to work towards better gear.

I'm fine with a low level cap and being focused on gear hunting as long as end-game gear hunting isn't tedious. Having to heavily time coordinate end-game activities has turned me off to just about every MMO I've played to level cap. My play time tends to be later and somewhat erratic.

Lots and lots of deaths. The kill yielded a heavy ammo pickup.

:lol Worth it.
 
Hope there is barber somewhere in the tower.....

Also reviving an ally should be limited to two revives then you are dead in dungeons, it make the bosses joke or annoying since there is no lvl restriccion and anyone with any gear can enter making you to carry them and used them as a bait.

Also the reviving process is pretty fast you can just put the tanky class in front, a "medic" and the other guy shooting at the boss tactic.
 
Whyyy can't they extend this till Monday? It's my birthday and I took the day off from work.

I'm max level but I gave a buddy an extra code and I want to play through with him.

Bungie is pretty adamant that you can do a lot of Destiny stuff by yourself — hence some parts you can play offline — so I wouldn't worry. =)

Nice job. How much XP?

I didn't look. Thrall have pretty low health, you can get 'em if you're patient.

wow. finished the level 6 strike on the higher difficulty with 2 randoms. took a very long time, but never got bored. had 147 kills myself. the final boss takes so long and we died after taking down half the health bar so that sucked....but loving how tough the game can be.

wondering if possible to get blue weapons as level 8. would be epic.

disconnected once so far.
 
I dunno if it's dinklage and his weird voice acting in this or the fact its unfinished in alpha phase but this game feels like its missing something. Borderlands had humor and weird bosses, Halo and the like had the crazy epic story and the military circlejerk.

This game just feels like a bunch of stuff tossed together right now. The atmosphere just doesn't feel right.

We only have the 1 story mission in alpha. It's possible the overall storymode will kinda set the mood for the setting.

I just did this, took forever. Granted my primary weapon at the moment really sucks.
 
In a weapon's stat, what does Impact mean?
Also, what do you do with weapon parts and plastic plating? I have a bunch in my inventory but can't do/sell anything with them.
