Official Destiny Alpha Withdrawal Thread

I'm ready to leave the shackles of Hunter behind me and go full Titan in the Beta.

I need to punch people.

Never go full Titan.

Question: If I play with my 4 or 5 buddies from the States, with myself being European, will I be at a disadvantage like at CoD or will I be barely affacted?
 
God I'm so conflicted. I want tomorrow to come now but at the same time I don't because I know I'll be sitting at the hospital waiting on my mom to get out of surgery for her knee replacement.
 
This thread really needs a FAQ.

I searched a bit in the thread specifically about the beta, didn't find anything. Probably should have searched this one instead, since it's sort of become the unofficial Destiny community thread until the next big thing happens.

Yeah, people need to read the thread more. I've posted the same answers to the same questions a couple of times already.
 
Ha, I didn't check this thread for the answer because I assumed it was mostly hype and discussion of small news tidbits. Now I know.
 
I already joined DestinyGAF but today noticed I was using the wrong bungie acccount. I r-linked my accounts to the correct one but now I need to be accepted again.

Bungie: JetBlackPanda
PSN Jet_Black_Panda

thanks guys.
 
I really hope there's some way to get whatever LE is announced with a digital version of the game. Since I plan on playing the game pretty consistently pretty much until the sequel is out I really don't want to ever have to bother with owning a disc.

Ideally I'd like to just preorder+preload the digital version on PSN and then have a box of LE stuff shipped to me, haha.
 
So is it true that glimmer is shared across all your characters? I am really struggling with choosing a main class and would love if some things were shared across characters.
 
If the throwing knife is the same as the alpha, you're going to be disappointed

So, how did the throwing knife work, anyway? Is it like the Warlock's energy drain where you automatically use it instead of your melee when it's fully charged?

I always thought that was kind of an iffy mechanic. I wasted a bunch of energy drains in the alpha by meleeing when my grenade was already fully charged. It'd be nice if you had to hold the button down to activate it, or it it just wasn't used if your grenade is already charged.
 
Oh yeah, I also applied to DestinyGAF through that URL.

Bungie ID and PSN are both OraynBro if people want to start adding me.

In Alpha the commendations and marks for factions were shared across the characters as well... Seems like there will certainly be support for serial alt-players...

Yup, worked the same
 
I just realized the classes' melees are symbols of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Titan's punch is a closed-fist rock.

Warlock's blast is an opened-palm paper.

Hunter's knife stab is scissors.




Paper is always best because only a fool plays rock.

Yup, weapons can easily be switched between alts via the vault too which is really nice.

It was that way in both Pre-alpha and Alpha. Also items in your vault are shared between characters too.

Yep. Warlock is da best. Urk knows it, everyone in the thread knows it (but are in denial mode). ;)
