Is there any word on a Destiny themed Xbox One coming out alongside the game?

I really doubt it. Considering Bungie has a marketing deal with Sony, Bungie has stated Destiny's lead platform is PS4 and they have yet to show a single screen shot of it running on anything besides a PS4.

They have announced a bundle already for PS4 and my guess is it stays that way.

I don't know why I didn't get a feel for all 3 classes in the alpha, I just picked Warlock and ran with it. I was a big fan of the super, I got lots of multi kills with it in crucible when the other team was capturing a control point. I hear that it has the worst double jump. When I got used to it I loved it, if the hunter and titan are better then dayum!

When I play the beta, I think I will start off with a titan gor a few hours then hunter for a few hours and make a choice for the rest of the beta. Obviously in the full release I will max out every class. But from my experience the warlock is straight dopamine and the titan or hunter will have to be amazing to make me want to switch teams.

This is only said by people who didn't figure out how to use it. People kept tapping X and then waiting til the peak of their jump or something to press X again, because that's how hunter's works.Warlock's glide is activated by pressing X twice quickly, and you get CRAZY height all while being able to control your movement in any lateral direction, and a third press of X cancels your ascent for precision landings.

If you wait until the peak of Warlock's jump to press X and activate glide, you end up just floating downward slowly, and it IS, indeed, awful. But that's not how you use it.

Lol didn't expect a bite so quickly

Seriously though, I just noticed something, Titans built the wall and gave their lives to defend it.

http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Titan

They are Destiny's Night's Watch!

very cool read, titan all the way for me, there purpose just reminds me of the gatekeeper from the movie thor who was a awesome protector.

So I will probably like the warlocks the best then. I think I mastered it. I could get crazy height and reach anywhere. Plus that third press that has you drop quickly was a good way for me to escape gunfire in both PVP and PVE. I am so used to it now I wonder if I will dislike the Titan or Hunter double jump.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

Usually when games are heavily marketed for one console and not mentioned for the other it's releasing, it means deals such as bundles are also exclusive. So unless somebody has outright said that a Destiny xbox one bundle is coming out, I doubt it will as I have never seen it happen (From the top of my mind). I mean there wasn't a Watch Dogs Xbone bundle was there?

Ah too bad. Guess I'll just have to buy both separately.

 

[Chaostar]

I thought the wall was built by the Traveler.
Regardless good find.

*The wall in the north was built by the first men in association with the children's (forest people) deep rich magic. Brandon the builder and the first men couldn't do it on their own

Well that's where my analogy

Yeah the wiki is starting to get fleshed out a bit since the alpha. Some great little titbits of info on there, which is great since bungie's own site seems pretty sparse on details.

Yup exactly, and then later on it upgrades to "Blink", which is effectively a teleportation power

 

[LtOrange]

So I caved and got the alpha tshirt today. This game has me so hyped and excited....it feels good. Thankfully The Last of Us and PvZ: Garden Warfare should make the wait relatively easy.

You're analogy stands Guardian!

I HOPE HOPE HOPE that the area under the traveler will be available sometime in the 10 year timeline of this game.

I mean, Guardians get their power and knowledge from it, it looks open, there is a concentric circle city built under it.

It seems to be a shame that we could never explore it or at least get underneath it to look around.

Ammo packs
Special Ammo, or Heavy Ammo - When switching special guns for example, you lose all special ammo. (Not sure if this was flagged as intended or a bug)

You could always tell the first time that a player realized this problem in the middle of a firefight. Much fumbling around with the same two guns, and the intermittent flashing of the chat icon as they stumbled away for cover.

 

[D i Z]

So the Beta access for all PS+ members was just an error on the PS Blog entry after all?

Well fuck.

Yup.

Access granted only through preorder

I want missions INSIDE the Traveller!

If it's something that's hollow you can go inside.

Yeah! Puzzle missions, with great rewards!

Considering we know so little about what it actually is, I'm of the mindset that it's a giant ship and as such I want to explore inside it

Always wanted to explore that.

This.

Looking over the city from atop the tower really made me want to go there. I can imagine vast markets, shops, alleyways , crowded streets and whatnot.

Would be really cool if they would let us go there.

Give us another hit! (Flip the Alpha back on...even just for a little bit.)

*sigh*... The hunger is real.

I don't suppose they've said whether the Beta is a separate client download or if it's just an update to the Alpha client, have they?

 

[SnakeEyes]

Oh sweet, I didn't know that. Thats awesome.

From the Destiny wikia:

Movement
Glide - Jump and press [Jump again] while in the air to activate glide

Modifiers
Focused Control- Upgrades Glide for better directional control while in the air

Focused Burst- Upgrades Glide to provide an initial burst of speed

Blink- A short distance teleport that replaces Glide

 

[everyday math]

I could see Blink becoming a problem in pvp.

 

[Horse]

EDIT: And swag is the most idiotic word/phrase ever to spew from someone's mouth.

Next person who says swag is going to get a mouth full of Horse's turds.

I agreed to no such thing!

 

[SnakeEyes]

I could see Blink becoming a problem in pvp.

If it goes through walls?

My. God.

 

[Two Words]

Blink will definitely be OP if it can be used to cover ground instead of air.

I don't really intend to pvp, but I imagine blinking behind other players will be great fun.

I personally love tight maps like Rusted Lands from the alpha. Blinking around that map would be dangerous as hell

Could be a possibility if it goes wherever you are aiming at.

I did the same thing and have the same plan. Really the Alpha just wasn't long enough for me to experiment with the other classes. I was still learning about the weapons, gear and Warlock upgrades. We'll have more time to experiment in the Beta!

The Glide is actually pretty good, yeah. I kept getting annoyed with the way I'd bump into every little thing and slide down but I realized it wasn't the game's fault that I was bad at it, so during my last few Crucible matches I focused on mobility. If you pay attention and your timing is good, movement is smooth and quick despite how clunky it may feel at first. Velocity has a big impact on your jump, so you usually want to press it a second early. Otherwise you'll just smack into a wall/rock/butt and bounce backwards.

Love having new systems to learn Next to get a feel for the different weapon types. And try the other classes. And check out the new areas. And why isn't it July 17th yet

 

[loldrums]

I was really hoping to get to try it but ran out of time. It should have a cooldown, so that if you mess up you're in a vulnerable spot.

 

[MMaRsu]

From the Destiny wikia:

Shadowrun style teleports you say??

 

[Brohan]

I was really hoping to get to try it but ran out of time. It should have a cooldown, so that if you mess up you're in a vulnerable spot.

Check this vid, start at 5:40 and watch till 5:47, you'll see what looks like a hunter (maybe classes can get eachothers jump abilities?) blink multiple times. It doesn't seem to be spammable but it doesn't seem to have much of a cooldown either.

Warlock's blink won't have a cooldown. It replaces your glide so if it had a cooldown, you'd be screwed if you needed to double jump multiple times in rapid succession like in the footage we've seen of the raid, where there's a platforming section with platforms that disappear as your party touches them.

Also it wasn't unlockable in the alpha, regardless of how much exp you got.

if you got saves longer then 15 secs I envy you. Guess my saves wasn't working right.

 

[Brohan]

Only vid that got saved on my PS4 was a vid of me going out of bounds in the tower.

Required 2 people, one standing on top of the other and both jumping to reach heights you are not supposed to.

Made it as far as standing next to an airship in the hangar section, can upload a screenshot later for those that are interested.

Figured this out real quick with a friend of mine.
