[Namikaze1]

Damn. A 7.67 K/D in that last match. most likely the best I will ever have.

 

[Nostremitus]

I got my hunter up to level 8, this is how i feel the conversation must've gone when this game was conceived.


Activision: So, Bungie, we want you to make an MMOFPS.

Bungie : A what?

A: Like an MMORPG but a first person shooter. Wow's numbers are gradually declining.

B: Ok, so like WoW with rifles?

A: Sure.

B: Can we make a whole race of Cortana looking people?

A: Sure, why not...

B: What about the Prawn from District 9?

A: Umm... I don't think we can get away with that... maybe make them robots bet retain the basic facial features?

B: Yeah.. we can do that... OH YOU KNOW WHAT? I loved the little scanner ball from Conduit! We've got to incorporate that too.

A: Are you gonna change it's functionality?

B: No, but we'll use Peter Dinklage instead of Kevin Sorbo for the voice though...

A: Hmm, ok...

B: We'll HAVE to have Landspeeders..

A: ok...

B: And the basic ships will be A Wings.

A: Ok...

B: AND we can make to Traveler a giant anti Deathstar.... You know, like a lifestar! It fixes planets instead of destroying them!

A: Umm... lets not add TOO many more Starwars references, they are owned by Disney now...

B: Good point... how about we add the throwing knives from BLOPS?

A: Yeah, that's one of ours, go ahead.

 

[LiK]

Tried everything to connect but no dice. ;-;

 

[Ramirez]

Gonna try and connect, let the PVP cleansing begin!

 

[TimeEffect]

So whats Iron banner about outside of level advantage?

 

[bryanee]

Do you get anything for the Iron banner stuff? Just done two matches, won one, lost one.

 

[Abdiel]

I just got a Legendary shotgun for being top player on an Iron Guardians moon map. Lol. Timur's Clash or something. My friend would kill for that.
12 kills, 2 deaths.

 

[occelinho]

I don't think you guys fully comprehend how cool exploring this area is gonna be

This looks awesome. I can't wait to explore that zone.

 

[Midas]

Do we know what the strange coin is for yet?

 

[GladiatoR]

Bahaha, didn't even realise Iron Banner had level advantages enabled and have been using shitty gear thinking it was like normal PvP. Still dominated, single handedly clutching towards the end.

Get on my level brehs.

 

[Vlodril]

if anyone wants to add me for some ib. same nick.

 

[Maybesew]

Looking for a strike partner

PSN perfybro

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Moon is the worst thing to happen to video games since cod

 

[pieface]

I don't know if the game has poor netcode or if it's just poor matchmaking/lag but I seem to find myself trading kills with people quite a lot. In a 1v1 gunfight I don't think it should be possible for you both to kill each other. But it seems to happen loads. Also, when using the Golden Gun sometimes you hit someone, but it takes so long to register that you waste a bullet trying to hit them again. Guessing it's lag, i'm hoping it's lag and not the netcode.

Also I feel the Pulse Rifle could do with a bit of an increase in damage. It just doesn't seem to compete with any of the Auto Rifle's.

 

[Llyrwenne]

Man, I don't get why Bungie decided to do the Iron Banner things on such inconvenient times. 2PM and 7PM PDT are 11PM and 4AM here in the Netherlands. You guys think there's any change they'll do some more on a more convenient time for us Europeans?

 

[Jigolo]

I must know; will there be new dances in the final game?

 

[ShinMaruku]

Close matches like this is what makese Crucible for me.

 

[CrackaF3tt]

Anyone notice the air conditioner that you can almost activate in the tower?

 

[Pattycakes]

I must know; will there be new dances in the final game?

Probably not.

Sure when its really out here

Now add me on PSN

 

[KevinG]

Anyone notice the air conditioner that you can almost activate in the tower?

Yeah, but as far as I can tell, nothing happens.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Having an awesome time with DestinyGAF right now on Iron Banner! Straight killin' 'em.

Just faced you, gg

 

[VisceralBowl]

DestinyGAF kicking other members' asses.
gg to you guys

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Just faced you, gg

You're good! =p

 

[Ryuuga]

Yup, Mars is quite an awful map. I can sort of see what they were going for, but it doesn't seem to have any flow to it.

 

[Gaz_RB]

You're good! =p

You got some great kills on me, tho

 

[Namikaze1]

DestinyGAF kicking other members' asses.
gg to you guys

Seriously. The Fireteam I'm on is 3-0 right now.

 

[Reckless Onion]

So in the final game, will there be way more on earth to do?

 

[mrqs]

Is there a way to enable the other crucible modes? Or even the moon? Any new areas on earth? The level cap is 8?

I've done all those things that i found i could do and don't know what to do anymore.

Thanks

Nope.

 

[Robin64]

Wow, what a great start! This match is going to be amazing!

(I didn't stick around to find out)

 

[everyday math]

Wow, what a great start! This match is going to be amazing!

(I didn't stick around to find out)

Hahaha

 

[Pattycakes]

They really should put in place penalties during the full game to discourage leaving.

 

[DY_nasty]

lag is a bitch

as soon as the host stopped downloading his porn or whatever i rattled off 9 straight ://////

 

[blamite]

Is there anything on your character transferring to the final game from beta?

It hasn't been totally ruled out, but don't count on it happening.

I imagine it'll be largely (but probably not totally) determined by how much the loot progression and balance gets adjusted before release. If the balance gets changed fairly significantly, it wouldn't make sense to bring back characters who had been built up in the old version of the system.

Yeah, but as far as I can tell, nothing happens.

Anyone standing on the fan when someone activates it gets launched.

Yup, Mars is quite an awful map. I can sort of see what they were going for, but it doesn't seem to have any flow to it.

Funny, Mars is easily my favorite map so far.

I'd say lind Watch > Rusted Lands > Shores of Time >>> First Light

[Pattycakes]

Trying to log in, with no success. Anybody else having PS4 issues?

PSN has been on and off for the past couple of hours. Hit or miss with connectivity.

 

[Tekku]

I cannot connect to the game anymore. Have they taken down the servers now?

 

[Jigolo]

Trying to log in, with no success. Anybody else having PS4 issues?

Yes. Even having issues loading streams/friends list.


EDIT: I thought they were down for maintenance today and tomorrow

[Metfanant]

This is the only uncommon auto I've found

Too bad it's awful

with all this talk about uncommon auto rifles being hard to find....im guessing i should be happy that i have this??

 

[squattingdonkey]

I cannot connect to the game anymore. Have they taken down the servers now?

Nah it's just broken if you aren't already in.

I hope it works soon, I need something to entertain myself with while my wife is having "ladies night"

 

[mrqs]

Nope.

That's a little disappointing. I've played the ALPHA and the BETA is like the same thing but well polished.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Titans with shotguns are annoying sometimes...

 

[friday]

Man, PVP rules. This game rules. Bungie is gonna make me buy a PS4.


You know what I would like to see? Open world PVP.

 

[therealminime]

with all this talk about uncommon auto rifles being hard to find....im guessing i should be happy that i have this??

Oh yeah I've got the same, fully leveled just like yours. It's pretty beastly. I look forward to trying it in Iron Banner later today.

 

[blamite]

:O

Holy shit, I'd kill for that gun. That looks fucking awesome, especially for Iron Banner.
