Something is wrong. Want to play the event too but can't, anyone got a fix? Was fine an hour or so ago :'(

I simply cannot wait until the game releases and explore to my heart's content.
 
damn, i've had to work early this weekend so i probably got in an hour of destiny. now i just remembered it is going through maintenance on monday to wednesday, prime hours of the night for me to be playing games :'(

oh well, titans are the best class. other classes smell like asses.
 
If, for any reason, you're interested in knowing the feelings of absolute boredom and repetitiveness, and don't want to play Borderlands, play PVE in Destiny. Pretty close approximation.

PVP is awesome though.

But seriously, PVP on Venus is amazing. Moon is alright, too open for my tastes.
 
I'm not sure if everyone has the same vendor items available as me, but there is a Cydonia-AR3 auto rifle available now from the gunsmith.
 
Some interesting girmoire text:

V113NNI070XMX001 SECRET HADAL INSTANT
AI-COM/RSPN: SOLSECCENT//SxISR//DEEPSPACE
CONTACT CONTACT CONTACT
TRANSIENT. NULLSOURCE. NULLTYPE.

This is a SKYSHOCK ALERT.

Multiple distributed ISR assets report a TRANSIENT NEAR EXTRASOLAR EVENT. Event duration ZERO POINT THREE SECONDS. Event footprint includes sterile neutrino scattering and gravity waves. Omnibus analysis detects deep structure information content (nine sigma) and internal teleonomy.

No hypothesis on event mechanism (FLAG ACAUSAL). Bootstrap simulation suggests event is DIRECTED and INIMICABLE (convergent q-Bayes/Monte Carlo probability approaches 1).

No hypothesis on deep structure encoding (TCC/NP-HARD).

Source blueshift suggests IMMINENT SOLAR ENTRY.

Promote event to SKYSHOCK: OCP: EXTINCTION. Activate VOLUSPA. Activate YUGA. Cauterize public sources to SECURE ISIS and harden for defensive action.

I am invoking CARRHAE WHITE and assuming control of solar defenses.

Played first five levels...bar one or two little niggles (Dinklage's surprisingly terrible voice acting, not been able to freely access the map in the city hub) I'm loving it even though I'm generally not an FPS guy at all.

I don't know if it's come up yet but try pressing right on the D-Pad. It's awesome!

Why are kills worth more points than captures in control? As it stands, there's no reason to capture areas; you'd be better off just camping them and killing anyone who comes near.

Yeah this is really weird. I remember doing particularly well capturing zones in a recent round, and then I noticed I was in last place on my team because I didn't have a whole lot of kills. I don't really play a whole lot of FPS multiplayer games, and I'm not a huge fan of being on the front lines. I'm used to taking on support roles in games like Team Fortress 2 or Killzone, so I'm having a lot of difficulty with PvP in this game.

As much as I like the Hunter class, I may swtich to Titan for retail release. Maybe that class will give me a chance in PvP.
Click to expand...

Oh, I'm playing as a Titan. And doing fine. It's just the most messy, chaotic, barely designed crap I've played in awhile.

It's like, take the 'I don't know what the fuck what gear anybody else could be carrying' element of CoD, then slow it down to Halo 4 speed, put it on maps suited to 4v4 but stick 12 people on them anyway, and yay, chaos!

There's very little thought involved in any match. It very much feels like 'hey, we built all these mechanics for the PvE, let's try to jimmy-rig something together for a PvP since everybody expects PvP from Bungie'

Uggggh. I need to play something else to get this bad taste out of my mouth.
 
holy shit

i just bought a green auto rifle in the shop

LOL

right on time
 
So, I played during the Iron Banner event, did well and got some loot. However that cirtaoin never opened for me. What was the criteria for getting it to open?

I actually believe this is the inside of the traveller. I saw some old traveller concept art from its inside and it has the same type of trenches.

edit, never-mind. Its probably venus, I see some vex tech, and it looks like

Just got some legendary post from the Cryptarch for my Cryptarch rank... gave me a load of rare encrypted stuff! :D

EDIT: Gave me two level 10 rare items... god dammit
 
Played the living crap out of the Beta this weekend. Had tons of fun, but since the general consensus around here is that they very probably won't transfer the stuff over to the full game, I don't see too much reason to continue.

There's a point and time when you realize the loots/armor/weapons ain't gonna improve and the 2 maps + missions do lose their appetite after a long session. Will check out the occasional Iron Banner matches, but I must say, I'm impressed with this game. Will almost certainly get the full game.

SEND IT TO ME!!!

Where did you get all this glimmer?
Click to expand...

There's A LOT of loot chest in this game, that many people pass up.

I explore a lot, going into caves, jumping on top of things, looking between tight spaces, looking on the edges of cliffs, and listening for the unique sound of a chest being near by.
They make this unique glistening sound when your close to a collectable material or a chest.
The chest have around 150-200 glimmer in them plus gear and weapons. So around 5-8 of them and your already at 1000 glimmer.

The area I find to have the most loot crates is the area where the broken, rusted ships are. There's a lot of caves there, and a lot of cliffs and the chest can sometimes be seen just sitting on a cliff in plain sight.

Be jumping from loot chest to loot chest withing seconds of each other.

The chest are on timers, so I guess, if no one picks it up, it disappears. I've opened up chest, and came back a few minutes later and a different chest is in its place.
or I check a area that had no chest, come back, now it has a chest.
Or an area that had a chest, fight enemies, then go check again and chest is gone.

So they be popping up all over the damn place.

So I get the glimmer all the time by just exploring and listening for the sound of chest and checking usual places and I usually find a chest there.

It's like a lil hunting game to find the chest, that I find myself enjoying quite a lot. Even when you think you found all the chest, they re appear again some time later, making it a never ending hunt.

It's quite fun. and I love the fact that the chest randomly appear and re appear in completely random locations. I found a loot chest sitting directly on top of a advertising broadcast board. Didnt even know it was there until I heard the sound of a chest when I drove my jet bike underneath it.

When I find some more chest, I will post a lot of pictures next time, so others can get a good idea of where to check for these chest.

What's up with the red pokeball? :)
Click to expand...
The pokeball looking thing is a rare material. The rare materials you get as rewards for completing the public events.

As you can see, from the number of rare materials I have, i've done quite a few of them.

As this point materials are useless since we can use any of the rare or legendary stuff. These materials are needed to unlock some of the unique features that rare pieces of gear has.

I don't understand, can't I play the story missions by myself? I want to enjoy them on my lonesome but keep seeing others pop in out of nowhere and start killing all the enemies for me...kind of kills it...
Click to expand...
I'll trade you. I literally can't find anyone else in my game. No one is ever in either the Tower or missions. It's super dumb (And hard) defeating Public Events by yourself. =/

It won't even let me find anyone in the Crucible! I just sit there waiting to find more Guardians. The only way I've found around it is to join one of my friend's Fire Teams.

You're right it's there. Weird thing is, I saw that my shop had 21 hours to restock before this and didn't have an auto-rifle. Maybe bungie manual reset it.

Either case, finally got an auto-rifle.

Yeah I think they already confirmed that area was on Venus.... I think.

But that picture is really interesting. I've been following this game religiously since it's announcement... how the f*** did I miss that picture
 
Exactly what gets "nerfed" in the crucible? Same weapon damage across weapon types and same health for everyone? Because the weapon rest of the stats definitely still apply.
 
Loved the Alpha, and love this. I'm not sure how much I should dive into this this week thoug as I'll just have to start over with the retail release.

It's confirmed we're not carrying characters over, right?
