Warlock definitely has the least agile jump. you could double tap it quickly to reach the max height, but you have to commit to that. With the hunter, you can jump once and jump again at any time before you land, which gives you more options. The Warlock glide doesnt add any vertical lift if you delay the second press and it is too slow to use openly, which makes it fairly ineffective around enemies. the glide + nova bomb combo was good though, especially against vehicles.

Of course, all this can be upgraded to an extent.

That's false. Third tap makes you fall promptly. If you're wanting options, being able to land at any point during the loooooooong duration of glide is fantastic.

And as for accuracy, platforming with glide is as accurate as the player's ability. I never had any issues landing on whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted.

I used the Warlock glide to hover over doorways with the shotgun when I saw enemies on radar. They never knew what hit them. :P

I think it was pretty useful. Not for straight up combat, but a little subterfuge..

mhmm, that's where it works best. Would often see warlocks hovering over the doors leading to a cap point (typically Zone A on Rusted Lands) and wait to drop on players running below.

But they never expect to be golden gunned...

Isn't blink a high level ability? I don't expect to see it in the beta.

Why? I believe it will be higher than the alpha, due to length of the beta and it will most likely be accelerated. The alpha was capped at 8, and from the IGN reveal video, they were showing level 20. And in their walk through videos of MP everyone was level 7. We will find out soon.

Well most people seem to think the cap is level 7 based off igns videos. It could just be Bungie trolling us. Don't expect level 20 though. That is just wishful thinking.

im aware of the tap to drop mechanic. i meant "commit" as in you have to use both jumps right away to earn the height, or it just tapers off into a glide. the hunter can still ascend vertically at any point before landing; warlock cannot.

maybe blink will change that though

I've been looking forward to Destiny but haven't been keeping up with everything, so I have no idea what I'll be doing. But I just pre-ordered!

DestinyGAF application = Applied
Bungie: Stillmatic
PSN: Stillmatic

Is there a good start-up video guide? Or was the first phase of the beta NDA'd?
Click to expand...

Approved. Welcome Guardians.

Also will only be popping in and out every half hour from now on because it looks like the rush in apps has died down significantly (at one point i think we were getting 2-3 apps a min for about 10 minutes there).

If you want to apply go ahead, i or another admin will be there accepting as soon as possible.
Click to expand...

I had to reapply, my original application didn't go through for some reason, blah.
 
I don't think I'm going to touch another class until I've mastered Hunter. Come beta time, I'll just refine my skills as I did in the Alpha. Three more long days (as I'll still be up Wednesday waiting for midnight!)
 
Man, still quite a wait for the Xbox One beta. I do have a spare code I could use on the PS3 version (don't have a PS4 yet) to get in and play it a bit earlier but I'm in two minds about doing that. What do you think DestinyGAF?

I would wait it out. It would be better experiencing Destiny for the first time on the more powerful system.

Play one class with the PS3 and choose a different class when the Xbone is ready. Don't skip out with all that available play time.
 
I am also one of those people who don't like to start a new character until i have at least hit max level with my first character. So Warlock first, then a coin flip between titan and hunter (all are great classes with their own strengths and weaknesses but i just enjoyed the space magic a little more in the alpha).

Not to be an old stick in the mud, but is there anyone besides me who is not planning on doing any PvP at all?
Click to expand...

Didn't plan to in alpha, got suckered into doing a match because i was bored sitting on level cap and enjoyed myself immensely. I have a general distaste for MP shooters on consoles (with Halo being one of the few exceptions) but by the end of the alpha i was probably doing nothing but PVP.

Well, Bungie is in Bellevue... :P
You know what realllllyyyy bugs me? The guys who did all the multiplayer for Halo 1 and 2 are now making the maps for CoD expansions. :l I just remembered this.

I know they aren't in est timezone. I was just moaning about nothing ever being EST time based.

Agreed. 7 days is nothing esp when people are posting impressions and in general having a good time without you. It's more important to play it on a powerful system.
