Seems you can ride a Pike through all the buildings without getting stuck.

Yeah same with the other bike as well. Pretty sweet

I'm currently playing the Strike mission and my two squadmates keep running into the open area and get killed. I can't resurrect them because they're far too exposed. Idiots. We have to restart the fight over and over again.

 

[AmethystEnd]

The headshot/kill-on-weakpoint animation is so fucking satisfying. It feels so good when that stream of light comes up after a shot.

Just try and hunker down when that happens and wait the 30s so they can respawn at the checkpoint.

Just got this on the Alpha, but it's still going:

Guys, how do I look for a PvP game?

Edit: nevermind, found it.

Dumb. I was lucky to have a good team the first time I played it. All three of us spread out around the tank near cover. The thing never knew where to turn, went down fast.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Anybody wish there were random or roving enemy AI? I'd love to see an area that i've never before encountered enemies become surprisingly filled with AI.

I'm to the point where i know exactly how many of what type of enemy is in what location and it makes things too predictable. I want to turn a corner in a building and come face to face with a roaming Hive Ogre or something.

We're fighting the giant orb thing, actually (and the music gets more repetitive the longer the fight goes on)

That's one of the improvements I hope to see.

Yesterday I did a Walkthrough of 2 hours of the alpha of Destiny on PS4 and I recorded the video with my elgato capture card and put the video on YouTube, I do not speak in it.
I am an active Halo player since Halo CE too so I was curious about Destiny.
I show a little of everything including MP, customisation etc. :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ISbr8NO7h4

Skip the first 5 minutes, I already cut them in the montage but youtube take time to update the video.

 

[Quixz]

Had last week off for E3 and family and was able to play Destiny as much I wanted. Put in 20 hours on my Warlock alone and about 10 for both Titan and and hunter..

Curretly at work and all I can think of is my hooker Destiny

 

[Schweinehund]

Yeah do not recommend pvp right now. You will be shooting people in the face and no damage numbers will pop up.

Oh well, I'm just glad the game is good. Going to be my second buy for ps4 this year.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Alpha extended? For how long?

 

[SAiLO]

I totally agree that it fits but not with him being referenced from Fringe, he will always be Lt. Daniels from The Wire

You mean the Wire series .

Yeah, he's the best imo.

Guess I have to watch The Wire now.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Do the later armors look different? At least early on the armors I saw were a bit uninspired and generic looking. I'm not asking for spikes and horns and fire, but hopefully there's cooler stuff.

I looted some higher level armor from my alpha time and it looks like there is a bunch of different armor types. There is also some vanguard armor and crucible armor that looks "vicking-ish" horns an fur and stuff.

 

[Fracas]

I'm guessing it hasn't been mentioned, but does anyone know how long the alpha's been extended? I was going to level up my hunter yesterday but I didn't have the time.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

That's one of the improvements I hope to see.

I wonder if its too late for them to overhaul something like that. Seems like we might be out of luck on random/patrolling enemies. I'll keep my fingers crossed... it would improve explore mode a LOT!

(Oh and throw in hidden collectibles and other secrets to find... i eat that shit up!)

 

[VE3TRO]

Devil Walker is kicking my ass! Was with a group but they left after a while so I'm the only one left.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Someone asked earlier if you beat the Devil Walker in freeroam is it opens up the door behind him, no sure if anyone answered but no it doesn't. Just beat him solo and the bastard didn't even drop any loot! lol Fun times though!

Really glad they extended the Alpha, for however long it lasts, Thanks Bungie!

 

[PrinceKee]

I love this game and the alpha was my new addiction so I'm happy the alpha still works. But, when you're in the tower is there a way to talk to other players? Is there a way or is there going to be a way to trade loot?

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Oh God we're still playing! Okay, time to do some thing that I hadn't done.

First off, how do I get my Cryptarch rank up?

 

[SJS]

I solo'd the Devil Walker and nothing weird happened. Still on the lookout for anything weird that Bungie may be attempting today.

 

[Fehyd]

It is for me. I love the the whole Guardian lore of protecting the world as "yourself", as opposed to a linear Master Chief story.

Destiny feels more personal.

I agree. I feel like player agency is improved because you have more input in your character. I'm curious to see how the story missions and cut scenes play out in the full game.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Oh God we're still playing! Okay, time to do some thing that I hadn't done.

Finding encrypted gear (or just buying from the vendor).

 

[Tekku]

Is there any story context to the PvP? I mean, why are the Guardians suddenly fighting eachother over pieces of land?

 

[Varth]

I'm guessing any class progress will be wiped, right?

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Did it literally seconds after posting, thank you very much though.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

I was trying to figure that out as well. If i had to guess... maybe the more you decrypt?

 

[SJS]

Is there any story context to the PvP? I mean, why are the Guardians suddenly fighting eachother over pieces of land?

It's supposed to be some kind of training ground. Thus the winning quote that goes something like, "with that kind of ability, we might just win this war", and the loss quote that goes something like, "remember Guardians, only the strong survive in this world".

 

[everyday math]

I was trying to figure that out as well. If i had to guess... maybe the more you decrypt?

Yep. I'm lvl 3.

 

[Fehyd]

Is there any story context to the PvP? I mean, why are the Guardians suddenly fighting eachother over pieces of land?

I think so. There's different factions within the tower that seem to be vying for more pull. Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, New Monarchy, etc.

Not sure what exactly though

 

[harrypmgaga]

Lord Shaxx is the voice over (you can find him just before the Vanguards selling high-level Crucible gear) and apparently the Crucible is some training ground.

 

[BuzzJive]

I haven't been this excited for a game like this since Halo 3. The Alpha was a ton of fun. I'm itching for more areas to explore, more multiplayer modes and more multiplayer maps.

 

[majik13]

Any cool shit happened since they extended the Alpha?

why should we expect cool shit? And how long was it exteded? Any longer than they stated to test network experiments?

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

I've already written this at the Bungie forums but I'll put it here too, please add voice overs for double and triple kills and stuff like that!!! Many people are expressing disdain about the mp announcer's nonchalant sounding ways. Please!

 

[Dredd97]

I'm quite in pressed with the voice talent too
Besides dinklage I've heard Bill Nighy and Lance Reddick (Fringe, OC)...

 

[Slair]

Already posted?:

"Yup. Alpha still works. Now, we're gonna test it in expert mode. If you're still playing, pardon our dust. This is for the Beta!" - Bungie Twitter.

 

[EL CUCO]

Im jealous that some of you are still playing while I'm at work

I keep watching my own Crucible video over and over again on YouTube lol

THIS!

 

[Nori Chan]

There should have been a thread to show off your character customization. Really curious with what gaf could do

 

[The End]

The ability to swap characters and loadouts* in the crucible without having to log all the way out and back in again is absolutely necessary.

*ie, vault access for swapping weapons around

 

[Conkerkid11]

So should I buy a PS4 right now so I can participate in the beta, wait until the white PS4 bundle releases and just play the PS3 beta, or... ???

 

[mohsinkhan]

Where is the devil'so lair? How do I get there?

 

[FalsettoVibe]

How long is the Alpha extended guys???

 

[S1kkZ]

did they fix the framestutter? game feels muchs smoother than yesterday.

 

[The Librarian]

How long is the Alpha extended guys???

Nobody knows.

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

Where is the devil'so lair? How do I get there?

You can select it on the earth in the middle. If it's not available, you need to be at least level 6 and have completed the objectives in the tower su had talking to your specific class vanguards at the bottom level.

This is the place where I fight that big eye at the end?

 

[Alucrid]

Still up, time to go on a Strike.
