Agreed. Also, I sat in the tree in the Tower a few minutes before the event started. The doors never opened. I had to leave the Tower and come back for the doors to open to the IB.
Also agreed. I enjoyed IB far more than normal due to this. Felt tougher and felt like I had slightly more time.
I got mine from the gunsmith, got lucky. Checked him and it was up in the rotation. Mine also rolled "The bottom half of each magazine does additional damage."
Easily my favorite weapon for PvP right now, but admittedly I might just not have learned SR's yet.

As it should, Guardian.
I got some nice footage of a few kills with the hand cannon. If you're quick and accurate you can drop people ok (if it's 1v1) multiple attackers tho? nah you dead unless both are unshielded and weak lol. Will upload it later was fun!

I agree with this. I think the Titan could stand for a slight charge effect where he/she is vulnerable right before the smash.
It just isn't viable as a primary weapon when compared to the rest, but yeah it still has it's use.
all modes have been very well implemented.
You basically have 4. solo/coop story, solo/coop explore, coop strike, and MP.
none of these feels lacking in anyway though preferences will lean you to one more than the other.

For sure, I just had to try it out though. Shame they can't be a secondary imo.

It is disabled outside of fireteams (of people you invite). No talking to randoms.

My Titan is basically 1:10 with precision kills. My hunter is 1:4 with precision kills and the Hand Cannon. Just as it should be.
Just checked out the BladeDancer subclass for Hunter and saw something interesting. I mentioned Hunters should have a cloak of some kind since you know, they are hunters. Well ....
Blink Strike - Melee Attack
3rd Tier - Escape Artist - Hitting an enemy with Blink Strike grants brief invisibility.
yum
Then they have Arc Blade
4th Tier - Vanish - press during Arc Blade to disappear from site.
Looks like the BladeDancer subclass will be the cloak class.

Only people on your fireteam can hear or reply to you.

You cant chat with ppl who are not in your fireteam. Likr on 360 after party chat, users prefer to be in that and not un the game chat.
It has nothing to do with PSN. Join a game of Killzone and you'll hear ppl all the time.
I can't speak for Live, but I go from PC to PSN frequently for various games and nowadays most lobbies or in-game communication is relatively quiet. There was that time I heard a guy clear his throat in a Titanfall lobby on PC.
Also: THE MOON ALL DAY ERR DAY. Stop matchmaker!

Yes playing PvP right now
I noticed that too. I was happy chatting away with my brother and then wondered if people could hear us. I like it better that they don't.
Also.. I think its great that they don't make you listen to people's mic right off the bat. Some people like to play music while playing, or weird stuff. Always had to end up muting them.

Unless you form the fireteam yourself I thought it didn't show voice chat? It definitely doesn't let you hear voice chat if you're randomly set up with people in the strike mission.
This is so dumb. Why did Bungie do it this way? I should be able to communicate with teammates in my goddamn fireteam.
Its deffinitely a time sinker. The alpha i was just intending to check it out since i got in. Spent so much time in it. This one too. I just keep playing it haha
I came from 360
Im rather happy not have to be called named, cursed at, hear little Wayne being played over the mic and countless other complaints
As if people actually talked strategy on there lol
Good to hear glottis8! Having an explore mode as well as a campaign will give me a good few hours I'm sure
It does. I sometimes spend exploring, looking for chests and tbh, the gunplay is fun enough for me to like to go out of my ways when i see hordes of enemies around. Good stuff.

How do you actually practice pad playing? I seriously suck with pads and that's the main reason why I normally don't touch shooters. I'm lucky if I get 1000 points in Crucible, I'm that terribad.

By the way... I take it no one has a Tower instance with Saladin anymore right?

Fuuuuck damn i hope they are still up in three hours..
I saw a blue emblem for sale yesterday, emblem of the wolf. It was 2597 glimmer and I couldnt buy it
. I'd farm glimmer but I had to leave .So the world is interesting to explore? I know the Borderlands comparisons have been done to death, but would it be a reasonable comparison?
Hmm... i dunno. I think Borderlands 2 had more to the world. More areas and lots of enemies, and more loot. I am hoping they do a lot more of this in Destiny. But i guess it is along the same lines.
I think the world itself tho is beautiful, and it is interesting to see and explore. I can't wait to see other planets and see what they do with those.

I was wondering why I could see bubbles like people are talking but can't hear anything.

Grab a shotgun, head to mars / venus. Blast away anytime someones head appears, friend or foe. Chunk grenades into the room with the base, always.
Use your Super Charged attack for some points, etc.
Takes some getting used to, as your adrenaline is going a bit more during PVP then regular PVE as now you know you are up against real folk and not silly AI. So you may panic a bit at first, slapping buttons.

How do you get this legendary sigil? I saw lots of people with it yesterday.
Buy it from Saladin once you achieve Iron Banner rank 1.

Iron Banner Emblem...have to be Rank 1 in Iron Banner rep and have the glimmer (1000 I think) to buy it

They bought it at the emblem lady
.oh maybe thats a different one. But I saw a similar wolf emblem at the emblem lady who sold it for 2597 glimmer.
People use it often in my friend list. I don't bother using a mic because I'm lazy and generally don't like to talk while I play.

I can't count the number of times I died because of the triggers not registering or sticks not sprinting correctly. The DS4 has such a shitty build.

Get to Rank 1 in the Iron Banner(four wins necessary), then buy it from the guy in the Event area in the Tower, the gated area, only open during the event.
I've a feeling that area will be used for a number of different events, and what's inside will just change. The maps the NPCs show you has a marker for the area that just says "Events"

That one's different. Blue, yellow, and white. One wolf, facing the viewer. This is the Iron Banner's Rank 1 emblem.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Not at all. I'm so happy people don't talk. I want to use my mic with my friends and that's it.
I don't want to talk to strangers, and I don't want to hear what some random guy thinks about my mom.
I suppose thats the trick isnt it? Borderlands for all its size didnt really have all that much variety, if Destinys environments are varied enough to keep it interesting.. then wandering explorers like me will have a field day!
Was Rank 1 the highest we could get? I wasn't able to get to Rank 2 even tho I had more wins last night. Not a biggie. I assume we'll see it again in the full game.
