The one i was using on Friday was common, but it had a snappy ADS, short range and high rate of fire. It was perfect for one- shooting enemies in quick succession and it was vey stable when i was shot at. The one i have now is high damage but is basically the opposite. Slow scope, range is too long, low rate of fire and it flinches all over the place :(
 
Look at all these scrubs wielding auto rifles.

Scout rifles 4 lyfe.

I loved the Crucible in the Alpha, and then when I had time to dwell on it - I wondered if it was down to hype etc

Nope. Loving it even more in the beta. Seriously the most fun I've had in a shooter for a long, long time. Also, kdr of 2.65. Get on my level.
 
Double tapping the jump button as a warlock gets you higher than the double jump.

I feel like a chump whenever a warlock or titan fireteam member easily vault themselves over anything yet the double jump seems to come up short every time.

Hunter gotta learn how to crawl before they can jump
 
Now i'm 100% certain.

1ST place NEVER gets the item drop.

In the past 2 days I have won upwards of 10 games in iron banner coming first every time, never get the drop.

Last game I actually stopped playing midway through as we were ahead and I was a good 1000 points ahead of my team.

Of course 5 mins later my team falls behind and I have to take it back.

Fuck the loot system, fuck it all to hell.

Hey man, you're wrong.

Bug report: Launched off the map causing death.

Location: doors on Mars map

Repro steps: Time it so a door is closing when you decide to walk into it. Door will close on your face and launch you at high rates of speed.

Notes: shortly after this happened, I was disconnected with code "bee"
 
I LOVE the exploration in this game. This game REALLY rewards exploration. They really put these unique environments to use, and gives you a reason to search every crack and nook because they stash loot chest every damn where.

Just going around in one particular area, i been finding loot chest none stop, getting all types of gear and lots of glimmer, just got 3000 more glimmer for like an hour worth of exploration in the ship grave yard. I've become a straight treasure hunter.

I love how the chest spawns at a completely random location, making every time you explore that location, a whole new experience because you never know where the next chest is going to be.

It makes hunting for these chest very fun and rewarding.

Some of the chest are is places thats not easy to get too and one wrong step and your dead.

Even in areas you already checked, come back, and there a loot chest there.




I took some pictures of all the chest I found with a 1.5 hour treasure hunt. SO MANY LOOT CHEST!!!! I been having fun just treasure hunting.

I am very, VERY excited to see the other areas of this game if they are rewarding exploration like this. you guys gotta check this out. If your short on glimmer, go treasure hunting, its actually fun to do. Those pictures should give you an idea on just how fucking well hidden these chest are, some are in straight plain view, like on a cliff high up a mountain that requires careful platforming to get to.

Me and my friend were treasure hunting last night, and even though we couldnt chat, we would "POINT" out the chest once we find it. So he'd find one, and he would use the point emote and it shows up on my screen that he is pointing, so I would run over to em and get the chest as the chest is shared.

good shit bungie.

Not only is the combat and gear grind is fun, but also the exploration/treasure hunt is fun. Im even more excited about this game now.
 
Weird, I played this morning after work and created a new layout and placed some items in the vault. Now my items are gone and my character is equipped with the items prior to the change I made this morning. Furthermore, some of my progression in my weapons and skills are not saving. Anyone else experience this?
 
Can't really decide if I prefer a Scout Rifle or the Pulse Rifle. For PvP you definitely need something very fast firing (at least, I do!) but the Scout is so punchy. Feels great.

Reached Lvl 8 with my Hunter tonight, really loving the specials and melee abilities over the Titan class, think I'll definitely go with that for the full game. Have they said is progress is carried over from the beta?
 
Well that is interesting. Just did my first Iron Banner and won. And I actually racked up quite a bit of kills. PvP has just went from 'suck' to 'very fun' :)


Btw guys, I always get that error where I cannot connect. I juust try again a few mins later
 
Hey man, you're wrong.

I get tons of glass shards.

>Start game
>look at team icons
>all default
>look at enemy team
>bunnies, wolves and letters

What follows is always my team getting destroyed while I try my hardest to win it for us.

The matchmaking is busted as fuck. I hate having to get into arranging clans and such for games like this, wish I could just jump in and have teams be evenly matched, but nope.

I'm loving this game so much and am already really invested, so this kinda stuff really gets my goat.

Wait so it doesn't suck to you now because you finally started doing good or....?
 
Not being able to buy from the Destiny Companion App fucking sucks. I was out at the store and was waiting in the car for my wife. I noticed the Cydonia AR3 was at the gunsmith.

too fucking bad.

I walked into my house 5 minutes late.
 
ohh ffs .. just got my points in the iron banner event. I travel to the tower, is the area sealed off again. No way I will be able to make the one at 7pm
 
Now that I finally had a chance to check out an auto rifle in pvp myself, I take back everything I said about the hand cannon having its own niche. AR shoots fast, does reasonable damage, is accurate as any other gun, easy to get headshot with, and the hip fire accuracy is good enough that you can start firing from the hip then go to ADS. You give up next to nothing choosing an AR over any other gun from my experience. I wish I had this thing earlier.
 
Got a green auto rifle from the vendor.

I'm so happy

bullets + attack when it's in the bottom half of the magazine

weeee
