Official Destiny Alpha Withdrawal Thread

Dear diary:

Its been 12 days since the alpha ended. My love for the other games in my library is returning. I fear that that when the beta arrives they may get shelved again for quite some time.
I've managed to stop watching crucible matches on Youtube long enough to get a movie or two in... Its cold.
I keep thinking about what the vault of glass will be like. I'm not sure if my body is ready....
What is this feeling?...
Does my girlfriend still love me? She acts jealous every time I mention Destiny... I caught her trying to delete the alpha from my PS4. "There is no point in having this on the PS4 anymore" she said, "Its a waste of space!".
I will be keeping my eye on her.
 
I made a quick vid with a few of my better moments from the alpha PVP if anyone is bored. I'm especially proud of the rocket shot at the end.

Aha, shotgun is too good! How was using a handcannon in Crucible? I felt them to be too slow for PVP and never gave them a chance. Also, the video could do without the first 25 seconds (when you are in orbit), it felt kinda wasted as you could have included more PVP action instead.

I'd keep an eye on her too, next thing you know she might try to murder you in your sleep! O.O

Yeah I only left that part in for my buds who didn't get access to the alpha and wanted a little more info on the PVP.
 
Ah, ok. Disregard that part of my post then!

No worries man. I didn't have any other highlights to add anyway lol.

Edit: and to answer your question, I liked the handcannon. I had a reload speed upgrade on my helmet that helped a lot, and once you upgrade the sights they can get pretty nasty. They were surprisingly easy to get headshots with.
 
Okay I just applied.

Same name on Bungie.net.
 
Hoping this Steam sale gets me through to the beta.

Speaking of Steam, bought an Xone controller to use on my PC, really like it in every way a bit more than the 360. I liked using a DS4 on my PC but my brain is just too stupid to translate Xbox button prompts on the fly to my thumbs.

EDIT: except the shoulders, don't really like what they did with the bumpers on the new controller. And the triggers have a bit too much rounded plastic molded around them. But the rest is a solid improvement.
 
From what I understand even the Xbone and 360 are on Bungie's own servers. It's mainly just that the platform holders just won't allow it. Also the segmented bases probably make it a bit of a pain because user names can overlap with the services. I'd love to see Skype come to PS4 also and then both consoles allow you to skype voice chat. That would at least allow you to be connected to friends cross platform even if it's just chat. Sadly since MS bought Skype I just don't see it ever coming to PS4. Hell The Xbone version doesn't even allow it to snap yet. Sony's probably would never allow it to run in background anyway even if it did come to PS4.

FYI, you can do that (and of course run in the background as well).
 
Not yet. Everyone so far who's posted in the forum has been on PS4. You're the first :)
I'm not sure if this is sarcasm, but if it isn't, then someone needs to get on that! I could make one in the morning. In fact, I'd like to call dibs, if that counts for anything.

No kittens, you fluffy little minx, I was being completely serious! People who've joined DGAF have joined for the PS4 side off the back of the alpha. Someone's going to need to start creating separate threads for Xbone players in each of the regions.
 
Okay I just applied.

Same name on Bungie.net.

Ive requested to join DestinyGAF

Is there an Xbox one GAF group?

Applied to join DestinyGAF.
PSN/Bungie ID: SAiLO

Accepted. Welcome to Destiny GAF. In terms of XB1 - there is a forum on the clan page. If there isn't an XB1 thread for your time zone then feel free to make one.

I'm in for the Xbox One GAF group.

GT: Prankm0nkey

Apply here: http://www.bungie.net/en/Groups/Detail?groupId=100661

Not quite true. There is a MST XB1 thread already.

DestinyGAF is the group and you can make multiple clans within that group.

There was a lot of confusion when another GAF user created a separate PS4 group. Basically use plain old Destiny GAF and when the feature is turned on there will be a PS4 clan, a xbone clan, a 360 clan, a ps3 clan and lots of other clans made within that group.
 
Alright, I made a group specifically for XB1 players!

DestinyGAF on Xbox One

I'm not sure about the idea of making different groups for different timezones. Maybe we can make sub-groups for that eventually?

Mate- at launch it looks like DestinyGAF can create smaller sub-groups from within DestinyGAF, so therefore there was never a need to create separate groups. All i will say is that the now defunct PS4 groups caused a massive split and it looks like everyone agreed in that instance to keep everyone under DestinyGAF.

I won't tell you that you need to delete the group as i have no authority whatsoever over that but the general consesus in GAF seems to be keep it under one group and have smaller sub-groups from there since there is no cap on player numbers.

Oh my god dude not this shit again. We already have one main group which will get sub-clans when the feature is available on bungie.net

Please delete that group.
 
So we get to go through all the bullshit drama again that happened because of the separate PS4 group that was created?

yay

Haha, don't blame me! SnakeEyes said there wasn't an existing group. I only kept vague tabs on the previous drama, and I didn't realize the conflict was about the mere existence of a platform specific group. I still like the idea of having an XB1 focused group, but since this already seems to be pissing people off, I'll wait to see how having one big group works out.

How do I delete the group? I'm not seeing that option. [Edit : I just removed the link in my previous post and made the group not publicly visible. Crisis (lol) averted!]

Nope Nope Nope Nope not this again.

Everyone is gonna be on DestinyGaf and then from there we can divide ourselves up into to clans for our respective consoles.

Kitten please close the group, Because we don't need the drama to start up again.

That's fine - but i don't see why the one big group divided into smaller sub-groups won't work when that feature is implemented.

Feel free to make a thread on the forums though for the beta for XB1 in your timezone if there isn't one already.

Hey, don't blame me! I was referring to a Xbone thread in the DestinyGAF forum! :p

The DestinyGAF group is the overarching parent group, and when the game drops then you'll be able to implement individual Clans from there under the DestinyGAF umbrella.
 
Less than one month to beta!!

I'm so glad to wake up and see that nothing noteworthy has happened in this thread whatsoever.

*screaming internally*

Seriously though, you will have a subsection in the Beta OT explaining how DestinyGAF works, right, Dax?

Lets hope so..its really easy to understand really :p
 
Hoping this Steam sale gets me through to the beta.

EDIT: except the shoulders, don't really like what they did with the bumpers on the new controller. And the triggers have a bit too much rounded plastic molded around them. But the rest is a solid improvement.

The shoulders took some getting used too. I wasn't too found at first, but now I never misfire on them. The triggers tho, even that plastic.. is DIVINE. At first it's odd, feels like it's not giving you that same freedom, but then you realize the throw is now smooth. No more shift a little to the left or right..pulls are fluid and it feel 10x better than any triggers on any controller.
 
The wait for the beta/September is killing me. So I put together a Destiny Impressions video (I talk a bit about Halo)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF9thUhAPPE

My first proper video, so it's a little rough around the edges. Feedback would be awesome :D

I literally just sit around and watch Destiny footage trying to numb the pain ;_;
