hopefully they don't wipe beta progress, would be nice way to reward those who preordered (and most likely followed on with the purchase)

i had found some really cool gear in the alpha that i didn't get to equip because level 8 was the cap in the alpha and it hurt me not being able to keep it

Of course they are going to wipe it that how betas work.

Because during pvp or pve I might want to listen to something else once in awhile?

I may be talking out of my ass, but I seem to recall that Marty O'Donnell is real touchy about people messing with 'his' mix. On the upside it shouldn't be a problem going forward! <rimshot>
 
That was the big disappointment for me in Halo 3 and Reach, no volume sliders. I dont care that Marty wants me to experience it his way. Multiplayer with my own music gets me in the zone.

About that, we need that PS4 update with custom music support.
 
Not sure if this is the right thread to post this, but I want more Destiny PSN friends! My psn id is YouGotReaped. Feel free to add me if you want to play some Destiny and your planned fire team isn't online.

Neither were many brilliant artists. He still has talent coming out of his sweat glands. He could take a piss and the sound of it hitting the urinal would produce a beautiful orchestral sound that induced tears from your face

I preordered on PSN, does it give you a code or does it automatically sign you up?

Pre-orders through PSN are good to go. You'll just have the beta added straight to your library. EU and AU can even preload it x.x Still hoping that gets added to NA before the beta launches lol.

We don't know the particulars of him being let go, and most likely never will. Either side could be at fault, but to say someone should be given a free pass just because they're talented is well... insensitive?

Its best to just live and let live in this situation since any preference one way or another is just us imposing viewpoints onto a situation that we have no idea about.

I have the same question. Since I hope people don't start trying to camp at certain locations for drops.

Isn't that sort of the same as camping the same locations for certain weapons.

Part of old Halo used to be map control via heavy weapon control. People cried bloody murder in Halo 4 because that was changed.

Gaf, in pvp does heavy ammo always spawn in the same place, or is it random locations on the map?
Click to expand...

I believe the ammo crates are static and do not change location. Special Ammo spawns after 30 seconds at the start of the game and every minute afterwards. For heavy ammo, it spawns 3 minutes in (9 minute mark). Shaax (the Crucible Announcer) will let you know 10 seconds beforehand when the Heavy Ammo is going to spawn.

Another tidbit is that everyone within a 20m radius of you will have access to any of the Ammo when you open a crate.

I think its important to keep in mind that this is Destiny and not Halo. And Destiny didn't play like Halo to me in regards to the MP. So when talking about camping ammo spawns and spawning in the same place, we should just try and judge what does and doesnt work on its own merits here.

I didnt see the hook in the destiny MP yet. Some things felt incredibly cheap (space magic). Kill times never seemed consistent. Map flow was strange.
 
If I just preordered like 5 minutes ago, should I expect a beta key in my email shortly? Or will beta keys be emailed out the day of?

(Amazon, if it matters)

To be fair, we were apparently playing a very old build. Friends and family had supposedly been playing that Alpha build for several months before we got to play it. Balance and other issues might've been cleaned up in a MP refresh sometime between the original Alpha release and now.

With Marty present, Bungie's audio team has always been very meticulous about the whole audio experience. It's a complete package. If they do their job right, the player shouldn't need to mess with the settings. With Marty gone, who knows?

I think Jay Wienland and Michael Salvatori are still there, so they'll probably continue the tradition.

I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet. These images were from a panel where they were talking about trying to figure out their direction for the game. Right after a lot of these images were shown, particularly after the Chicago artwork, Joseph Staten went on to talk about how they weren't really getting far creating all these pieces of artwork. I forget the exact wording, but it lead me to believe that these pieces were just ideas, definitely nothing concrete.

I was excited about visiting Chicago, too, but I kinda think it was just a random piece of artwork.

Yeah, I'm cool with it not being available at launch, but I'm counting on it being added at some point down the line, if not in an expansion, then at least in a sequel at some point. There's only so many planets they can add, so if they keep adding new areas at some point they'll pretty much have to get to it right? :P

That's all fine and good, campaign can remain pure, but now that we know Destiny has a score for PVP, we should be able to turn it off.

Forcing music in PVP is pretty fucking ridiculous. Way to make me mute your entire game, Bungie. I'd prefer to keep the sound effects but if I'm going to play for hours, I need to listen to my favorite playlists or podcasts at the same time, and that doesn't jive with some Destiny score muddling things up.

Yeah, that's true. I hope they keep the rest of the team together. I have a feeling Salvatori doesn't get the credit he deserves. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here.
 
Beta progress will be wiped for sure, especially with such a large gap between the end of beta and launch.

I highly doubt we'll see more than Old Russia in Exploration mode, but I would love to be wrong on this one.

It seems like the final game will have four large exploration fields (Earth, Mars, Venus, and the Moon) and several smaller, secondary ones - perhaps ones that focus on a specific location, like that derelict space ship orbiting Saturn, and Old Chicago on Earth.

If anything, we'll likely see one of the smaller ones during this beta, but I seriously doubt they'll show half of their major locations.

My character looks just like your avatar. I'm curious, can you change after the fact?
 
Bungie.net is currently getting updated and tweaked. Interested to see the changes.
Hopefully the clan system will be implemented.
