You can´t. Take screenshot and use imgur.

EDIT: Like this:

Thanks for the help, Bud!
 
I think the only mistake was having the max level "low", it's a good feeling when you level up and I think that the massive gaps between levels (if there is one) will make it seem grindy.

Should have been 30/40 imo.
 
Yeah that can't be right at all. One story mission, 1 strike, one mode of MP on one map (I think) and not even all of Old Russia. Even if this represented 5% of the game I'd be disappointed.
 
10% ?, that doesn't sound a lot at all.

Anyway really enjoyed playing the Warlock class, I very rarely if ever play console games online and I absolutely loved this, I think it helps because it's so seamless, and I don't feel compelled to play with other people and when I do it happens almost organically.
 
Let's see the video.

Just for you :)

They ran away after the 'Your team wins', that's why only 3 players left.
I don't always WIN but I do mostly wins. Only pro players/perfect people can get perfect scores every time.

Here's some more proof out of many of how I've killed the competitors and be on the top spot.

He said less than 10%.

I know that but he would of stated a lower percentage if it was much lower than that so it must be near it at least.

Anyway either way I have confidence the game is going to be supported for a long time with DLC so I'm not overly bothered.
 
I liked almost everything I saw in the demo alpha.

What Bungie can attempt to make the final product even better:
  • More variety in mob appearance/height. Same goes for player models.
  • Dropped loot should be easier to see. Right now I sometimes miss it.
  • More clearcut areas for survey missions. Right now I feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I had a few times where I would go to The Tower and the Postmaster (?) would have mail for me in the "Lost Items" category so this may be how the game handles things if you miss a drop
 
Well, uh... hm. I just found some place called "The Blast" and killed a big spider tank thing. By myself. And it didn't drop anything.

Piss.

This is only an alpha. They will probably raise the cap in the beta.

That happened to me a few tomes. I think the game makes it impossible to miss loot. They still to need to make it clearer though as it is more satisfying to find it on the battlefield.

The cap in the alpha was 8. The cap in the game is 20. Bungie have said it will only take a few hours to reach level 20. The game is more about loot than customisation.

Even in the alpha its bleedingly obvious that your choices when leveling are going to be extremely limited compared to most lootwhore RPGs (Diablo, Borderlands). Its all about dem drops instead.
 
If the "less than 10%" is the entire alpha, including the whole level 20 area and whatever the hell level the mobs are in the subway..I'm excited. Updates and DLC will likely add new "endgame" content within the first couple of months anyway..If they make a season pass I may actually buy it.
 
he said "less" not "exactly" relax everyone

It still implies that it's in the vicinity of 10%, otherwise he would have said "less than 5%" or "less than 3%" or something. "Less than 90%" is technically accurate, after all, but would cause people to jump to conclusions.
 
I would say they deleted more than 90% of the content in the area we can explore in the alpha. For example there are lots of small caves and rooms that are empty. I think they closed them so we cant get in. And there are some entrances which are blocked with some magic barrier.
 
One more thing to add, Lance Reddick's (Fringe series) voice over fits in so well. Destiny is going to be my number 1 game of 2014!

Loot can spawn in the small rooms and the black fog doors are enemy spawns. I'm sure they blocked some paths off, but I doubt they blocked off much content from the inner parts of the area.

No, it doesn't imply anything else than that he didn't take his time to sit down and measure an exact % of content, if that is even possible to measure. Don't read into it other than what was stated.
 
Of course it's all the gaf nerds creating the female characters in this game, haven't seen many in my adventures though. XD

But it's true you can create some fine looking ladies in this game but when you can play as a robot, you gotta go robot.


Gotta say that this game is just fantastic, I love the MMO elements and I got some WoW flashbacks from stuff like collecting crucible marks for PVP gear. I haven't encountered many bugs either which is pretty cool since Bungie is claiming this to be an alpha.

Bring on the beta I say! I hope there's more shit to do when that arrives because I ran through the playable content pretty fast, but I'm quite confident that the full game is packed with content since the game has been in development for quite a long time with a big budget too.
 
Even if it was dead on 10% I didn't touch 40% of that so I'm still happy about the amount of content.

Like bombshell said it's impossible to quantify anyway.
 
If by less 10% he means landmass it's fine.

If it's less than 10% of actual content, I'd be pretty damn disappointed.

And yeh he said less than 10% but he could've known where throwing numbers eventually goes...
 
OKay today i was pretty good on PVP . I saved a lot of clips an wanted to make a montage for you guys .. Unfortunate i dont have an idea how sharefactory works. In addition the Clips are not the way or the scene in wanted them to be :(
 
I just cant wait to have this in my hands.

Due to some console issues I only had a chance to play on Saturday.

But OHH BOY what a day that was, completely loved it my hunter was crazy!!

Cannot wait to have more fun with this come July 17th

One month tomorrow guys!!!!
 
Ok i need to understand something
Will the final game have instanced content? Like Dungeons and Raid?
Or everything is already inside the Free Roaming area?


Let me explain, as i was playing through the mission i thought that it was some kind of new close dungeon, separated from the New Russia free roaming

Then today i was free roaming and while picking mission i went through the exact same trail from the mission, same bosses and areas just withour Tyrion narrating what i was doing

Am i thinking it wrong?

You are. The first mission with the wizard is a typical setting with mobs that are always around in that area. however, when you are on the actual mission, at some point when you go into the building, you will see some smokey vision enhancing effects around your screen (by the part where you have to unlock the door) This signifies that you are leaving the open area, and going into your fireteam's own instance of this particular portion of the map. So, it is kind of like a phased or integrated instancing from what I saw.

ah gotcha :D

Excited for the beta then, pre-ordered on both PS4 and X1 since i need to decide with version i'll pick up
 
Man, y'know one more thing they need in the full game is a few more emotes. I'd kill for "follow me" and "/cheer" type things.
