Support NeoGAF

The Moon map is really gorgeous but plays horribly IMO, especially when everybody can spawn with a sniper. Just got destroyed by some asshole camping spawns with a sniper and there's just nothing you can do about it.

And when you do escape your spawn you get mowed over by the OP vehicles.

Though the multiplayer can be enjoyable at times, I really don't think I'll be putting nearly as much time into it as the SP/co-op stuff. Thankfully, it seems like Vanguard and Cruicible systems are offsets for achieving high level gear -- MP for Cruicible gear and SP/co-op for Vanguard gear.

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

I know right? I don't want to miss the episode since it's the season finale.

Motherfucker

I'm already torn between watching the Spurs/Heat game and Game of Thrones (and Californication)

Goddamit Bungie

 

[Sawneeks]

There are times it's hard to believe this is only an Alpha build of the game.

Fuck that tank hovercraft.

Watch Spurs/Heat and record Game of Thrones, duh.

 

[Baliis]

For all the hate the vehicles are getting, that map is infinitely better than the other just because you can summon your bike and rise it around. It controls so well, idk how they got the vehicle handling so perfect.

 

[everyday math]

Fuck that tank hovercraft.

Really shouldn't have it on this map. Pikes work just fine.

Or at least decrease it's turn Speed.

I don't think they're OP. Just too small of a map.

 

[Namikaze1]

I don't want to say good bye. T.T

 

[Nipo]

Has Bungie given any details about what kind of Clan support we'll get? Will there be guild halls and the like from MMOs? or will it mostly be rankings and stuff like other FPS?

 

[IAmRandom31]

Yeah no beta for me either. Hate level caps. Especially in a 7 week long beta or whatever it will be.

You would end up making 7 different characters and the level grind to start would get a bit old before the main course began.

Can't wait though. Anyone else think a level cap of 20 is a bit too short, if this Alpha is any indication? Didn't take long for my 3rd character to hit 8. Maybe 5 hours.

Oh sh*t ...

Bungie is holding an event in the middle of NBA Finals AND Game of Thrones???

Delay the end of Alpha! Delay! Do the event tomorrow!

 

[CaptainTiptop]

It's gonna suck not having this game to play anymore. At least we have the beta in July and the full game in September. August will be painful, though.

And to build off of that: how do we join DestinyGAF in-game?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

There needs to be a smirk button, because I accidentally made my avatar.

 

[bigboss370]

If you must know, the only reason i suck at crucible so far is cuz i'm busy being a photographer

 

[Garrett Hawke]

It's weird, even though it's just saying goodbye for a few weeks/months it feels really sad.

I guess I understand now how people feel when their favourite online games go under. Like I get that this is a temporary break but the sentiment is similar.

Wow lol

 

[Orochinagis]

So, Dax or Psycho

There is a mayor exploit about the enemies IA, The IA just ignore you if you are in a group and dont move or shoot while your allies draw their aggro, if both of your allies get killed the IA just walk away in front of the third member of the group, even the boss is searching for you but cant "see you".

It literally makes the dungeon on legend settings a joke

 

[Heroman]

They need more hair options, cause trying to make a black male character, most of them didn't fit.

Wait is the level cap confirmed 20? This is only one hub in the full game right? I am sure the level cap is higher than 20.

 

[BlockheadBrown]

Blaspemy, but... Seems very similar to Borderlands.

I have no idea what an IA is.

 

[Definity]

Had a blast this weekend with the Alpha. Thanks Bungie! <3
Still not sure what class I want to start with when the game hits retail.

 

[GrizzNKev]

I have no idea what an IA is.

Artificial Intelligence. Would be said backwards in spanish.

Good game btw.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

It is similar to Borderlands, but it's classier and I like that there aren't so many guns. I always have trouble deciding which guns are better than others in Borderlands and I end up sticking to shitty weapons for ages because I don't know which to pick.

 

[ReadingRambo]

That's heaven there isn't it?

Best weekend in recent memory.

 

[Orochinagis]

Hamm the enemies in general, they ignore the person who doesnt move or shoot. so you can use him/her as a spawn beacon

If you found a bug, you should write it up on alpha.bungie.net.

Otherwise I've found myself standing still numerous times and have still gotten shot.

It was destiny.

 

[Ein Bear]

Is the level cap in the final game really going to be 20? That seems organ-deflatingly low.

 

[Lakitu]

The moon map looks glorious, can't wait to play the moon content when the game releases.

bigboss370: Is that a scout rifle or AR? I've never seen that scope before. I'm jealous Or is that just crucible gear?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

It was destiny.

 

[Tevos]

Was going to do the first mission on Legend, then ended up exploring all the way to the Forgotten Sands (and a bit further, which was blocked by many high level ?? mobs...that makes 3 areas I've found with that now) and found a Pike.

Went around riding that killing shit, found a little cave right underneath where you start the first mission that had level 11s in it and got all of them...and then I proceeded to do the entire first mission on Legend, in the Pike. Wrecked everything.

Amazing.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Is it too late to play? Just got home from a trip, was wondering if i can still use my code.

 

[MortalMonkey]

Are there any skins, weapons, or vehicles that can only be accessed in the Alpha; and that will transfer over to the final retail game? I thought I heard something about this, but I wasn't sure about it. Thanks dudes!

 

[Gaz_RB]

You got time bro

Like 8 hours left

 

[X-Frame]

Going around to all the high-level vendors and looking at the Level 20 gear was such a tease. Weapons and armor 5x as powerful as what we can use in the alpha, geez.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

when is the beta and how easy will that be to get into? Didn't get a chance to play the alpha but I'm still looking forward to this game and the impressions seem generally positive.

 

[Byron Bluth]

You got time bro

You have until 3am Eastern or 12am Pacific for the alpha.

Bungie is putting on a special public event at 9pm Eastern or 6pm Pacific.

Anyone have an idea what they may do? I have a feeling it will be a huge battle like we saw in the E3 2013 demonstration.

Or maybe they will announce the alpha going until Tuesday? Hahaha pleeeeaaaase!

 

[Orochinagis]

Please report it to bungie.net/alpha forums.

On it, tried the past days to get an access to the forums with no result.

 

[Melchiah]

There was a bug in the Devil's Lair mission. After restarting to deactivate the mesh layers, the enemy just stopped coming after the first wave.

 

[Byron Bluth]

July 17th for PS3 and PS4. I am not sure if they announced a date for Xbox One and 360 but it is happening for those platforms but at a later date.

Just pre order Destiny from Amazon, wait for the email with your beta code, redeem it on Bungie's website and then cancel your pre order.

 

[Pastry]

What does the red circle around Crucible mean? Sometimes it's full other times it's not.

Guessing they might span bosses outside of where they normally spawn and get more people involved for big fights

Fuck. I didnt think I'd be available today, but I am and I've been playing. Except that I made plans for 6pm.

 

[Dre_G_Writer]

Man, this that RACIST BULLSHIT RIGHT HERE!!!!(lulz)

Man, I don't think i've gotten to so happy to so sad so got damn fast.

Why couldn't the level cap be ten man, shiiiiiiiiiiiittt!!!

 

[dreamer3kx]

Is this Alpha good to play until Beta comes out?

 

[VisceralBowl]

Nope. You have 7 hours and 50 minutes to download and play.

No, read above.
