I never actually got to try the moon map, I only jumped into PVP on the last day of the alpha and only got the rusted lands map, I don't know why, I had a blast. The PVE just consumed me.
Yup, RL was my fave. I'm probably going to concentrate on PvE until I hit max level and then may go into PvP in the full game
 
I hated the moon. Stupid tanks killed me so many times, and there wasn't a good counter to them, except other vehicles. I still managed tons of captures every time, though.

Did you like using the tanks?

Thats my game plan.

I can't wait to tackle the vault of glass with some gaffers.

I don't intend to be in the Crucible much, but that Venus map is gorgeous. Can't wait to just hit explorable mode in Venus.

I am going to take so many screenshots of the Earth from Venus.
 
Did you like using the tanks?

Nah, not really. I mostly used the Sparrow to go to capture points faster. And I have used rockets on tanks, but I'd rather cap than spend time taking a tank down (although this would probably help my team cap faster). Luckily, there was always someone on my team who would be on tank duty. I wish there was a hijack option like in Halo.

Agreed.

I really wish we could assassinate in this game.

Rockets
Turrets (underrated)
Supers
Snipe the guy out
The other Interceptor

Plenty of ways to take it down, although I could also go for vehicle boarding.

will it be worth buying the ps3 version? after the fiasco of bf4 i'm reluctant to buy more next generation games for ps3.
I think its worth it, i mean me personally, i would love to play it on the PS4 but im not shelling out the money now just to play this game. Figured id wait till there are a few other games out there that i want to play, so i will be playing it on the PS3 for a lil bit so feel free to add me on PSN Squall516 ^__^

Has there been any word on cross gen or cross-platform servers?
And ya there hasn't been any word, but i really really hope that its at least cross-gen. The hardware and everything is in place to be able to do this, and they have said that they will allow people to transfer their account from the PS3 to PS4 so i dont see why they couldn't let people play together anyway. Especially if the majority of people will be on PS4 the PS3 and the rest of the systems game environments and community will be soo damn bare and hardly any people and thats not good for the game or for business so i hope they are smart and find someway to make it happen :)


Also just yesterday i went on bungie.net and requested to be part of DestinyGAF like i said above my PSN is Squall516 and my bungie.net Unique ID is Kakashi516 (happens to also be my xbox live gamertag since ive been playing Halo since Halo 1 and was the leader of a few clans during Halo 2 and 3. I've been on bungie.net since they first opened and was part of bungie pro and i expect to play everyday if i can so id love to be apart of the clan and can take on some sort of leadership aspect if needed) Got my LE ordered already and i cant wait for the beta ^___^
 
Quick question. I got a beta code for Destiny from preordering the PS4 bundle, but obviously do not have a PS4 to play it on lol. Does anyone know if I'll still get the bonus stuff since I'm technically in the beta? If not, that's just kinda messed up.

I really hope it's cross-generation online. Why even release the PS3 version if it's not?

And yeah, I'm holding off on the PS4 for a while too so I'm in the same boat.

It's an emblem and probably not. You have to play after 2pm on the 26th. You could play on the PS3 and maybe it'll transfer over.

ya you should still get all the bonus stuff from pre-ordering and what not, but the bonus that they announced from playing on 7/26 i believe it was in the beta, if you dont login and play the beta that day you wont get that specific bonus. But if you have a PS3 or 360 id say you got the beta code from the bundle right? just play the beta on that and when you pick up the Destiny bundle and set up your PS4 you can just play the game on that when it starts. Hope that helps ^__^

Ya, i mean they havnt 100% confirmed it but they have said that it is something that they really want to do and are working on to transfer from PS3->PS4 http://www.polygon.com/2014/4/28/5653642/destiny-ps3-upgrade-next-gen-ps4-xbox-one-compatible-windows-pc. Dont think it will be available right away but im pretty sure we will eventually get something like that. And if they can do something like that and have the systems in place i really hope that they can do cross-gen play too since ill be playing it on the PS3 :/ lol
 
That was in the alpha was it? Didn't ever see it.

Don't think so, no. I meant that I was also in support of it for the full game. That was one of the big things Bungie added to vehicles in their Halo games, and I feel like it was only excluded to make them seem different. I mean, if they had planned to put it in, they wouldn't do so this close to release, right? Seems like something that would have been developed alongside vehicles.

There aren't really more hazards for vehicles than there were in the Halo games, so if they removed vehicle boarding to make vehicles seem more powerful, I wouldn't necessarily agree with that.

I'd also like to see some kind of assassinations in the game. It might just be that Halo influence again, but something still feels off about hitting someone in the back and not one-hit-killing them.

It's not, we just wish it'll make it into the game.

I was really really hoping on Bungie day for them to show off some more vehicle for the game. I loved how Halo had a pretty decent amount of vehicles. So i really hope that if not at least in the beta in the final game, they will have more vehicles hopefully i flying one, you can hijack some of the alien vehicles and hopefully use some of the alien guns instead of just the futuristic human guns. I really hope so and got my fingers crossed, those aspects were some of the best things about Halo imo ^_^

Having someone in a turret and another person shooting rockets is the best technique against those tanks that I've encountered; those tanks get nuked.

And I fucking love the moon map. Spawning, casting your vehicle and then boost through the base gave me so great Star Wars vibes. The sense of scale on that map is great as well and I think it's pretty balanced.

Oh yea, I got some mad Battlefront vibes from that level. And the thing about the size is that it's actually smaller than it appears. I never felt that I couldn't travel to one side quickly or safely.

Early balance issues aside, I don't dislike any level in the game so far.

I'm lucky enough to not like the exclusive Ghost shell so it doesn't bother me not having it when there are other skins.

So. Digital Guardian Edition doesn't seem to be up on PSN in Europe, or do you have to preorder and then upgrade?

Unfortunately, it seems most of Europe countries have to wait a little more for ordering Destiny's collectors editions (digital or physical).

I actually consider to buy it on US PlayStation Store (which by the way is better than EU PSS)...

Hi there,

http://i.imgur.com/TOu5mD4.gif

all of you? Still holding strong or slowly getting cray cray?

I just want my fucking Limited Edition available in France. Germany got it on amazon.de, therefore i demand parity !

Because it's a ruse and the Traveler set us up...

We're victims of a great harvest...

I'll laugh my ass off if this end up being a conspiracy and The Traveler is just a tool used by the aliens to detect/infect/destroy us. The simple fact it's using our dead soul/body to fight give me some Event Horizon vibes...

I have a report that's got to be in next wednesday. It's the perfect excuse to finally preorder and get on the Beta.

Digital all the way.

I don't need more "stuff" in my life, and a game like Destiny is something I'll want to switch to easily for a quick game.

Yup. Digital all the way bro. To fire this game up quickly and jump right into a coop strike will be amazing!
 
No it'll just be on the consoles on launch day. Although on PSN US and UK you can pre order it from there :)

Really? Where? I really want to preorder the Digital Limited Edition (or Guardian Edition, whatever the hell it's called. Please stop with all these different editions!) but I can't find it on the PSN EU store, either through my PS4 or via my computer on the PlayStation site.

At this rate I'll just stick with the basic edition I pre-ordered after the Alpha. Such a confusing mess.

I think the EU PSN store updates at 12 GMT on Wednesdays, so try in about an hour. I'm waiting for the same thing.

I'm reluctant to buy games I want to play on day one digitally from the EU store.
Can we pre load games from the EU store or is this a US PSN thing only?
Also how reliable is Sony when it comes to unlocking games on release day? I don't want to come home on release day just to find out that I'm unable to download / play my digital copy while everyone else can play using their disc.

Pre ordered the physical Limited Edition...

I think the game is pre-loadable on the EU store. The game will probably unlock at 12AM GMT on the 17th, so as early as midnight. If you can play at midnight I'd rather have digital then physical.

Also the ease of jumping into a game is better.

I meant the full game. :)
I already have my 1 TB drive ready since day one but these things still push me towards physical copies. Not having to switch discs every now and then feels great. I want that as soon as possible!

So...I preordered this game on PSN a few days ago. Then the versions came out... Should I spend the extra 30 on the upgrade (And what is an 'expansion reservation')? More importantly, will I get beta access with a normal preorder?

You'll get beta with pre order. I wouldn't get the Digital LE.

You can wait to get the DLC later if you want. Will only cost you $5 more ($35 total) for it, but the way I figure it is by the time the DLC comes out, you'll be too busy playing Bloodborne, Arkham Knight, Uncharted 4, Person 5 or who knows what.

Yup. Digital all the way bro. To fire this game up quickly and jump right into a coop strike will be amazing!

All I need now is an SSD......

I pity anyone who pre-orders/purchases anything from the EU PSN stores. Those prices are highway robbery. US PSN is the way to go.

Can you preload games from there and does the online work with the PS+ of the main EU account on the console? I wouldn't mind jumping through the hoops of buying US PSN cards to make the purchase if everything works as intended.

Really now. Please tell me more.

Not much to tell really.

You add your funds that you bought from Amazon.com and then you pre-order the game. Unlike the EU stores, you have to buy it on that day but the good thing is you're not paying £80 - £90 for the Digital Guardian Edition, instead you're only paying £52 due to the awesome dollar conversion.

Regular priced games on the US store are $60 which equals around £35. Compare this to UK PSN prices for digital games which are £54.99 or £64.99. #ROBBERY

Your EU PS+ will allow you to play online on all of your accounts.

Oh and did I mention that you can now pre-load digital games which come out on Tuesdays in the US instead of the Fridays in the UK/Europe? No reason to use EU PSN whatsoever. :)

When I downloaded the Alpha on my US account, I couldn't access it with my EU PSN+ account though. This scares me.

Dax what happened to your avatar? Well at least now people won't call you dude anymore heh ^_^

100% agree. But i never did it...

I'm gonna search how to buy games on US PSS from France. For what i already know, i have to do it via amazon.com.

Beta thread goes up tomorrow. Shall I post a tease?

Both accounts have to be "main account" on your PS4.
