Didnt notice it before but the enemies have the same strat positions and never move unless you kill them like the snipers and the knights so they never swarm you or pressure you.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Anyone want to run through the Devil's Lair on Legend?

PSN: BarrowRoll

 

[ComputerMKII]

I'm getting error 'loganberry' and it says the servers are down for maintenance

 

[-PXG-]

So is it playable again or still a crap shoot?

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

So I made it to this area called The Grottos and was greeted by a bunch of level 20+ hive. I made a run for their cave and through it and wound up at the refinery of the Striker mission.

Anyone else managed to Solo the devil Walker? I just ran out of ammo.

Wat do?

Kill yourself / get killed. Use ammo. Repeat.
Took me about 40 minutes when I did it.

lol cool. Thanks.

What does mean when you've generated x number of light orbs?

Does it count towards my now capped level? Does it level weapons?

All I'm doing now is play explore (cause fuck PvP) and trying to max out muh gunz.

Light orbs charge your super. You have to pick them up.
Weapons are upgraded through use.
Edit: Also this

To clarify, you can only pick up light orbs that other players create.

 

[Hitmonchan107]

Ran through the strike on Legend in 21:42. Definitely my fastest run yet. Has anyone beat it in less than 20 minutes yet?

 

[MADGAME]

I noticed the descriptions for the Sparrows able to purchased make reference to certain classes. I wonder if the full version may have buffs tied to Sparrows in that class? Otherwise, what would be the point?

[Nursezero]

Well, DestinyGAF, I *was* going to come home and see if the Alpha was still online, but I got to my apartment to find that I had been robbed. They stole my Xbox One and PS4.

Police have been called; a report has been filed.

I'm sorry to hear that Dax, I hope everything else is okay.

I forgot to mention that

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Wow... I actually made it to the place where you fight the Wizard in the Story mission, but from the opposite side. I'm fucking impressed. Incredible level design. The map doesn't look randomly-generated so they must have spent a long time designing it.

I went on a huge exploratory wander and found the outside of the wall where all the rusty cars are lined up on the highway that we saw in the E3 demo last year and went through the grotto to the devils lair to the rocket yards and past the divide and i ended up coming out of a hole in a wall that is right where you spawn when you select the explore mission from your ship. I couldnt believe that all that was right behind me when I first started to play. I guess your first instinct is usually to move forward.

One thing though is I really do hope there is a map in the final game. I got lost so many times trying to find the Lost Shores and sometimes when playing with a friend if we got split up we had a tough time finding each other again.

Can't wait for the beta!!

[DrKelpo]

Wat do?

Yeah, I did. Just the regular tactics. First the mobs, collect ammo. Then concentrate fire on one leg, when it explodes, fire on the weak spot in the head. Repeat another 2 or so times. Success

Took me maybe 10-15 minutes.

 

[mohsinkhan]

Which class is the one that does the "smackdown" special? Where the emenues in the radius of impact are killed.

Lame! That sucks.

Titan. Warlock also has an area of effect one.

 

[Raptor]

Titan, also has IMO the more satisfying melee.

Straight up punch to the face, feels great, in fact I think is the best feel punch in any game I have tried, is that good.

 

[Revolutionary]

Not sure if it's new or if it was just broken before, but the LiveArea shows a friends leaderboard now.

Oh, ok. Cool. Has anyone attempted the high level hives that are lurking underground around the starter area? Or is it virtually impossible to down them with conventional green weaponry.

I've been getting a buttload of engrams but most of them are either shit or beyond the level cap.

 

[ruxtpin]

In the explore level with fetch quests all over, are there any big "events" against a boss type character where over fire teams are pulled in? Like a spider tank or walker out in the open? I seem to remember a video showing something like that, but all I've found in explore is nonstop fetch junk.

 

[VisceralBowl]

You always do 1-2 damage it appears at this level even with the best green weapons. Some people have cleared small rooms after an hour or so. The caves and downed spaceship area are suicide though.

Yes these are in. It is a random event, not a mission.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Holy shit, I cannot believe there were still areas for me to explore even after putting hours into this. I finally found the Breach and ended up at the site of the E3 demo with all the rusted cars in the middle of the night. It was an amazing experience.

If the alpha alone has such an incredible amount of areas to explore, the full game is truly going to be something special.

Yoo we're trying to send you an invite bro.

BarrowRoll is trying to reach you.

 

[BokehKing]

Are we still getting kicked from servers at the moment? I'll run a strike when I get home if they are done stress testing

We'll Bungie did say this content was less then 10% of the game. So yeah theres gonna be a lot.

 

[SlenderBeans]

Ah, I just cannot put down this game. Nothing has enticed me like this since Halo 3/Reach. Bungie, you've really outdone yourselves. The multiplayer is just amazing. And the Strikes really make me hunger for some more Strikes.

Also, super cool to see you in game Gaz. Never thought I'd see the legend myself.

Though it is slightly a double-edged sword. I absolutely love the music Marty has done for this game. Sucks that he got fired.

 

[Raptor]

I put more hours into this Alpha than in Wolfesntein, Jesus Christ.

and it wasnt that much, maybe 15 hours, that tells you about the quality of this game.

And I keep thinking about it....

 

[vypek]

Not sure if it's new or if it was just broken before, but the LiveArea shows a friends leaderboard now.

I saw that too and don't remember it from before. But Im the top of my leaderboards

 

[CornDogg]

That's kinda what worries me about Level 20 seemingly being the cap. Unless leveling slows down at higher levels, the majority of the content is designed for "end-game", or the cap is higher on release, I fear it will be too easy to hit the cap without experiencing much of the content.

It was fairly trivial to hit level 8 with just this small slice of content.

Bungie has said that they want Level 20 to be easy to hit. After that, you differentiate yourself by your focus, equipment, skills, etc.

 

[serenewarfare]

Oh wow. I was bummed that I was out-of town all weekend and couldn't play. Now I get home to see it still works? Based Bungie.

 

[Nags]

I just found out by accident that you can emote on your hover bike.
Fuck yes.

 

[The Librarian]

Thank you for the continued well wishes, everyone!

Wow, that really sucks. I'm so sorry for you.

Thanks, Mr. Robot!

 

[Verano]

so when is the alpha build gonna go offline officially??

 

[TheOMan]

Thank you for the continued well wishes, everyone!

Thanks, Mr. Robot!

I was wondering well wishes for what, then I backtracked to your post. That's terrible man

Well, I see you have insurance, so at least you get new stuff out of it, sorry that happened to you.

 

[perineumlick]

Was that you I played with last night, on the Legendary strike with Nibzy?

 

[everyday math]

Basically this. It's kind of like a trunk of a tree(lol). Then you have all this stuff that branches off it too upgrade.

I just hope we get good money and loot consistently by the time the cap is reached. Beating the strike mission and receiving 3000 exp and no loot makes me sad.

 

[MMaRsu]

Yoo we're trying to send you an invite bro.

BarrowRoll is trying to reach you.

Sorry but I really gotta sleep even if we take it down in 30 minutes ill be dead at work 2morrow sorry. Maybe tomorrow if its still up and if not we can play come beta time.

Yeah, good playing with you! Thanks for the FR.

And I agree with you about the multiplayer. I can't stop playing it either... I have to force myself to take breaks haha. Was kind of hoping the alpha would end just so I can get back to life/other games. Cannot wait for beta/release.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Ask Bungie, we don't know

You're such a try-hard vehicle hoarder in MP.
;p

So true it hurts

Worth the death heh.

Wow... I actually made it to the place where you fight the Wizard in the Story mission, but from the opposite side. I'm fucking impressed. Incredible level design. The map doesn't look randomly-generated so they must have spent a long time designing it.

There are blocked off areas like this:

There is the bunker at the shore and a couple more I don't recall right now.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

So true it hurts

It's the most fun way to play
