Will the full game have any sort of PVP in the Explore mode? Can I run into another player and start fighting? Is there a PVP mode where your stats matter?

 

[kitzkozan]

I know this is a "serious" game, but I wish they would go crazy with the weapons, I mean, it's fucking sci fi and we still have the machine guns, rifles, rocket launchers.

GIVE ME CRAZY SHIT, Cerebral Bore, Nuke Weapon, whatever, this is not call of duty, you can go make whatever the fuck you want Bungie.

Except for the part where you have to balance out those crazy weapons in competitive pvp. Halo had plenty of alien guns, but let's take into account that you take every crazy weapon you can find into pvp.

 

[Vlodril]

So the only way to upgrade your weapons is an auto upgrade when used enough or i am missing it? Also trying to pvp with no decent weapon is an exercise in frustration.

All guns do the same damage.

 

[meanspartan]

Raids. 6 players, very challenging, and it can take an hour or more to finish it.

Sounds awesome, thanks!

 

[Gaz_RB]

So what's the trick to making the melee not suck?

Warlock melee is godlike!

 

[everyday math]

Hunter still has the most satisfying abilitie. Dat knife throw when it connects. Mmmmmmm

 

[Byron Bluth]

You can eventually upgrade your jump to make it a triple jump.

I got my Titan's jump upgraded and I sure can fly now!

No wonder I was beasting with a level 43 weapon!

what's your secret, banner?

 

[king grimlock]

anyone farmed enough bounties and spinmetal to get vanguard rank 1 and enough vanguard marks to buy the goodies?

 

[zsswimmer]

The multiplayer mode in this alpha is so fucking fun. I can't wait for all the other modes when its released. I'm pretty much sold on this game after playing the alpha this weekend.

 

[Vire]

I'm like 75% there, but then I realized that the guns the vendor offers are much worse than what I have now. So I don't care anymore hah.

 

[everyday math]

Yep. It really just comes down to how good you and your team mates are.
It's been a long time since Iv played a MP game that required such good teamwork.

 

[kitzkozan]

It's not so much the damage as what kind of crazy effects alien guns would generate. The Resistance franchise has guns which can shoot through walls or lock on to an enemy once you tag him and let's not forget that magnum from which bullets can be remotely detonated. I'm sure we will see alien guns, but it's just a matter of making them balanced for pve and pvp.

 

[lifa-cobex]

I do love this game.
So much so that I don't think I'll try the July Beta. I just want the full version.
I was a fun taste.

It's such good fun with friends (I don't play online much).

 

[VisceralBowl]

what's your secret, banner?

I don't know what you people are talking about. My Warlock melee is a one hit kill on the majority of NPCs and is a two hit for players. It even disintegrates people.

Ahh I see what your saying. Agreed.

Is there an indicator showing when you're able to throw another knife?

I'm gonna miss this game tomorrow.

 

[DrKelpo]

beautiful

 

[reKon]

1) Are there any energy type auto rifles similar to that rail gun in Killzone Shadowfall?

2) I saw someone with a vehicle that had a gun attached.. How do I get that vehicle? I bought a Seeker

 

[everyday math]

Just when the square refills. You can get certain armor that can help fill it up faster.

335 Grimoire Score? Psh.... that's it?

 

[MADGAME]

I saw on the Destiny Facebook that there is gonna be a special mission tonight at 9 EST. Anyone know anything about that?

I wonder how many downloads that code on FB is good for. I'm guessing they want a huge stress test tonight.

 

[Lakitu]

He's adorable.

That's pretty much how I feel. I played enough to see that its more than solid where it counts. Any more of the alpha, or even the upcoming beta would just be a tease for me.

 

[SockyJohnson]

I did... and I found that its not worth it.
Weapons aren't as good as the uncommon's you pick up and upgrade yourself.
The ones I bought didn't have any upgrades either.

 

[Nakazato]

Day 1 if we get and Fov slider

 

[X-Frame]

Will you be able to use the armor and weapons from the Crucible organizations like Dead Orbit in PvE or just PvP?

 

[EL CUCO]

Just enjoying the scenery of Hive fighting Fallen at Rocketyard.

 

[Lakitu]

If the beta doesn't include any new content, think I'll skip it and give my code to someone on GAF. I already know how good the game is going to be. I'd be curious about the changes they'd implement though such as the respawn rate, FOV and locked content.

that sucks hope they make it worth it in the future

What console game has ever had a FOV slider? There's a reason it's set to what it is now, it affects performance.

Also, Hunter's second type of grenade is awesome. Throw grenade, deploy seeking explosives.

I hate it and was happy when it let me return to the way it was originally. The grenade that deploys a bunch of tiny explosives does a little damage to all enemies in the vicinity whereas the default grenade is powerful enough to kill everything in its immediate(albeit smaller) radius.

 

[lifa-cobex]

Plus it really isn't too far from release now.
It will just be all the more special to jump back into that world again knowing you wont be limited by anything.

damnit not working for me...actually i think that just might be another single alpha code. sounds like the mission is available to everyone who is in the alpha

In Legend, blast radius is all but useless. The second grenade is infinitely better for taking out single targets, (which the super shield guys are the actual problem in Legend difficulty).

All the blasts will hone in on the one enemy if you throw it directly at it. It will instantly take off their shields.

I still haven't ventured into Legend yet. But thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try.

A couple of friends of mine who did not get in the Alpha are also trying to use the code; they said the PS store is throwing errors. Too much traffic maybe?

If you manage to hit an enemy with the grenade, all the explosives will focus their damage on that.

Plus it's a great way to block entrances.

 

[eznark]

Can't believe it ran so well via remote play. They did some smart things with the controls. Essentially ignored back touch thank god.

For a game with the potential to just kind of grind when you're bored, that will be awesomely useful.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Ack tried to sneak in one last game before bed and servers/PSN are fucking down (

 

[Sawneeks]

I'm curious, what type of gun is everyone using? I've taken a huge liking to the Scout Rifles myself though I have yet to find one that does a ton of damage.

Shit I didn't even think to try that.

Looked good ya?

 

[Apathy]

The hunter is definitely my class, really like having a thrown melee even if its on a cooldown and a true double jump. The warlock is good too but not feeling the titan at all. Also wish they set up a way to queue into a Strike from the tower, because having to go into orbit and then again look at another screen is annoying,

 

[Twilight Gap]

Been trying some of the warlock tips out. The jump is growing on me and I just realized that the melee actually has a range to it. If there are robes that are as cool as the capes, I might make the switch, although I'll still keep a Hunter class handy.

I was mainly Scout in the beginning until I found some good auto rifles that did high damage and had little recoil semi-auto. I have a really powerful burst-fire one on my Warlock right now, but the mag runs out too quick.

Auto/Scout, Sniper and Machine Gun for me.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

After 5 hours of alpha this game has me hooked. Can't wait for the full release.
