Official Destiny Alpha Withdrawal Thread

Completely off topic. But have any of you guys seen the AC Unity trailer with the Lorde cover of Everybody Wants To Rule The World?

That was a great cover. Though when I was watching that. It hit me. Its during French Revolution. Does that mean Ubisoft is going to release a skin pack that let you play as Jean ValJean? Lol the theatre nerd in me would be happy.

I would LOVE that! Now I expect them to do so, and if they do not I will blame you!

There is no power struggle. There is just me, Valentinus and some other people trying to work together.

Me and him has been pm'ing each other a lot trying to set up everything. Trying to work out all the kinks, and everything. Some people are just freaking out for no reason to be honest. Valentinus made me an admin because he like the ideas I had and that we both wanted to work together. I don't care about power, as Im trying to explain for the hundredth time. I can easily drop out of all of this and just go play Destiny by myself. But I'm doing this for the group not myself.

But anyway, if you wanna join DestinyGAF just send me or Valentinus a PM with your Bungie display name, request to join on Bungie.net and we will approve you. Its that easy.

With all this "conflict" i've seen, I don't see this group progressing to be quite honest.

For this group to move forward, the discussion needs to move out of just the space between Valentinus and Shadownet, and into perhaps even its own thread where we can all talk about what DestinyGAF should look like without the need for accusations and stuff. The path we're on right now is only going to lead to more dark places and will only split us apart more.

Oh please don't leave because of this. It happens to clans (not to GAF that often) quite often but it always sorts itself out. Hope you change your mind because i still need to get you back :P

In regards to what to do about the clan - i have deliberately kept quiet about it because it just seemed to be confusing people but it has got to the stage where you need to push all the players into a room and sort it out once and for all and what is decided there is final.

Also added a few people this morning from a few pages back - Welcome to DestinyGAF! The Ride Never Ends!

However, due to the recent posts in the Withdrawal thread, I think you and Valentinus still have a lot to talk about. I think that discussion needs to move away from just you and Valentinus, and into its own thread. There is still confusion on what DestinyGAF will look like, and I think it is for the better if we all get some direct input on that ( I know you're looking at the feedback etc., but as of now, there's still two separate threads running and neither one is suitable for us to discuss in. ). I think that is something that you and Valentinus should be looking at, even if only to move any potential further drama from the Withdrawal thread to that thread. I'm sure plenty of members ( including me ) would be happy to help in creating that thread.

That's where I stand right now.

I felt like a Biker Mouse from Mars with that shit. Nice touch.

Edit: Shit! that's what I'm calling my fireteam if you're playing with me haha.
 
Only one raid at launch? That's pretty disappointing.. Hope they add more of them at a good pace.

If they would have looked at WoW they would have known that people blaze through these things.

There is no point. We don't yet know how sub-clans/groups or whatever is going to work.

I think y'all need to talk less about this shit, TBH. GAF guilds/groups/clans are casual as fuck, deal with it. If you want a try-hard clan, go join another.

Lol okay. Ohhh maybe we can finally get a female assassin skin! But its actuakly Cassette!

Can you imagine? Playing as Jean Valjean and the members of the resistance (assassins) vs Inspector Javert and the police/guards (templars)

Damn. I want that.

This is not about wanting a try-hard clan, this is about not wanting the drama and continuing confusion and accusations to tear the current base apart. I'm willing to drop it if it bothers you that much.

Honestly, I'm starting to not care due to the constant flip-flopping and confusion.

I just want to have clarity regarding what's going on, and by not having a central discussion point, the confusion and drama will continue.
 
It seems like there's some confusion about the "one raid" thing because Bungie has deliberately chosen to call their raids "Strikes", with their "Raid" being something else altogether...some kind of ridiculously challenging end-game thing.

Yes.

Stack of games, none I want to play now thanks to scumbag Bungie with their awesome game making abilities. The titles I am currently playing on and off are on snoozefest auto-pilot mode.

I'm finding myself making sharefactory videos, it's more entertaining to me right now.
 
Valentinus said:
You're approved.
Welcome to DestinyGAF
Sit down, take a drink, hang out in the forum.
Find your Fireteam buddies and buckle up for BETA!

I haven't touched Watch Dogs, the game that I greatly enjoy playing before the Alpha arrived.

Trade it in GameStop and get your money before it loses it value if youre not playing it :p assuming your country has GameStop lol

There's no confusion. Strike is 3 players, Raid is 6.

No GameStop here but we have something similar, I still like WD.
I just can't bring myself to play it while thinking about Destiny, not to mention the weird 'no more than 6 hrs game time or u go nuts' thing.

I either have a massive jaw infection or have TN (nerve condition) in the jaw, either way it's chronic pain and I could do with a distraction.

And none of my other games work!


God damn Bungie!!!
 
It's so ridiculous. I don't even care too much for FPS anymore but Destiny really worked for me. I can't get into anything else right now. Going to pick up UFC tomorrow but that'll just be a time-passer until the beta gets in my life.

Edit: Something I didn't care for too much was that when you're creating a character it didn't use a color wheel and instead had a preset selection of colors. It doesn't matter too much since you only have your helmet off at the hub but for a game that's about loot and being your own unique individual it disappointed me. Hopefully there'll be a decent selection of colors for when you dye your armor.

Yes that was disappointing, hopefully it was just an Alpha thing. We'll see.

Biggest issue I had with the creation tool was when you were picking your hairstyle you couldn't rotate the head! how am I supposed to see my do from different angles without that! :D haha it was pot luck when I got in-game if I liked it or not.

Character creator was garbage and felt tacked on. Hope the main release is better. Mostly pointless anyway since 90+% of the time you'll be in first person mode or seen with a helmet.

Sadly true :(

Faces looked real good up close in it though. Shame in-game you're so far away or covered by a helmet. Need to ask Bungie for a toggle for that like Mass Effect.

Exo faces are too damn cool to keep covered up imo.

I understand humans and maybe the Awoken needing helmets on other planets but yeah, Exos should be able to toggle on and off unless they have real organs or something biologically that I don't know of.

And yeah, you should be able to turn your character while you're creating it. Very strange oversight. I tried every button because I couldn't believe that wouldn't be an option.

There are so many questions I still have that can only be answered by playing the game. A lot of things that I want to know and want to try..

I really hope that I will get a beta access. How are those provided? Are you safe if you've used a pre-order beta code on the website?
 
Wow wtf happened here? Why is everybody hating on the gaf group? Because one guy made a chart that would encompass our psn id's for easy adding or what?

Some truly over the top responses itt now come on guys. The reason why there are a bunch of 'admins' for that group is just because its to be expected we have a lot of members and not everybody is online at the same time.

Right now a whole lotta people seem to misunderstand, all we wanted was for GAF to be able to be one big group. So if people see someone from DESTINYGAF in the world they would see like wow they have like 1000 members in this group or whatever.

The spreadsheet is just to make it easier to find people from your region and console. At least that's what I'm thinking. Not sure what people are getting upset about frankly. We arent saying gaf is gonna be a tight.clan and we are gonna day this and that, for me its basically just about the clan tag and being able to play with other people from GAF easier.

Not trying to bring up old cows but I wake up and look at this thread and was like wow :/.

I'm 98% sure you're safe if you've put in the code you received upon pre-ordering on the Bungie website. They'll send out an e-mail closer to beta with your beta download code from what I understand.

Same here.

On a different note, I was thinking about Bungies awesome Alpha shirt and wondering if they're chuckling over there at all the commentary on the VA because they just knocked up that one mission on a Friday afternoon specifically for the Alpha and we'll never see it again.

Do GAF civil wars often erupt this quickly, or is this just a Bungie game phenomenon?
I'd like to take a look at some other warring fanbases. This is kind of fascinating to watch.

Tends to happen in almost any community or group. You have a disagreement that escalates, people dig in heels and pick sides etc. Usually can get very heated quickly.

Swing by a number of communities where you'll see people become incensed if you insult their favorite player, their favorite pop star, whether you are discussing your favorite weapon, map, a certain game mechanic. Remember, on the Internet, everyone has to be right.

In the end, this can be a good thing because there has been greater discussion on what people want out of the clans, groups, and eventually people discuss it normally and come to some kind of an agreement. A big problem with social groups, clans type stuff is that after launch, it becomes in disarray and it really harms the experience. Just look at what happened to GTA V. As long as all this gets discussed and ironed out before launch, it's a good thing. Just remain civil, not insulting etc.

I've just gone back to that game myself, it makes for great videos on sharefactory. Won't link them here because that's off topic, will pm you them since PSN and facebook hate me.

Edit: We should do free roam/ decryption together, GAF it up on Doges :P
 
I remember I saw a trailer from E3 where they showed a room where all the players had to jump between disappearing platforms. It might have been a Raid or Strike.

Anyone know what trailer that was? I'm trying to find it.

I'm starting a third GAF group called, "The REAL GAF Group" please pm to join.

Edit: Due to an internal power struggle, I have been forced to step down from The REAL GAF Group. I have started a new group called "Another GAF Group" please pm to join.

Edit2: I have been asked to disband Another GAF Group to avoid confusion with the name. I started a new group called "Gaming Among Friends" or "GAF" for short. Please pm to join.

Edit3: Back from a three year ban for what the mods called "ego bullshit." Starting a new group called "Fuck The Mods." I should note this group is running parallel to "Gaming Amoung Friends" (still going strong with seven members!), so you'll need to specify which group you want to join when you pm me.
