Anyone find an Uncommon Level 8 shotgun? The only ones I'm getting from the cryptarch are level 9. Plenty of common Level 8 shotguns, though.

Run, check your minimap - see some red in any way? Supercharge and run towards that colour.

Would make sense considering that there's a special area they close off.
Only time your level/gun/armor matter is the iron banner
I'm liking the game more and more now, and after 12 hours i can pretty much say i'm hooked.
I'm liking the PvP a lot as well, but i have one major complain regarding the jetpack: i chose a warlock, and when playing on Earth and Mars (i tried the event yesterday) navigating the enviroment was truly painful for my class.
I can totally accept a different kind of jetpack, it's even cool to have a particular manoeuvrability, but please Bungie fix that shit: in order to climb on higher elements of the stage my class is forced to make PERFECT jumps, or else you keep failing to reach higher ground for like 5 centimeters.
And that's pretty frustrating IMHO, as this is a First Person Shooter, not Wonder Boy in Monster Land 18.

Double tap jump quickly, don't tap it and then tap again at the peak of your jump. I think 95% of people hating on Glide don't use it properly.

Bungie needs to give out way more information about a lot of stuff. Are the rewards after a pvp match randomly given to players?
If there is going to be an event, it needs to say so in Orbit in a little box or pop up so people wont miss it.
Please put in map voting as well. I know Bungie has never been a fan of it, but just give a choice at the bottom lf the screen sith like 4/5 maps ( randomized each time ) and let ppl vote. That way you get a different map all the time hopefully.Make sure the map you just played isnt on the vote list.
Careful not to port beg!
I believe there's a Polygon interview where they discuss this with Eirk Hirshberg, CEO of Activision.
I can't check as I'm at work, but the quoted text in this article seems to be from that.
Cool, I will buy both PS4 and PC version. I like to play on PC because I'm sure that I will have more friends and feel more comfortable to play on PC. (since my voice chat got blocked because of NAT Type problem on PS4)

While I at first welcomed player voting or vetoing, I've come to dislike it. The method(s) hurt minority gametypes and maps.
NO MAP VOTING, PLEASE LORD. it'll become so stale I hate it in EG COD you had to play nuke town 3 times before the next maps came up, please no.
if they make it Halo style, "Press X to Veto" I wouldn't mind so much

Actually, just double tap X and you'll go as high as you want. Tap x when you want to land. I have 0 problems with the Warlocks glide ability. It reminds me pf Shadowrun and playing as an elf.
Just get used to it. Did you play the alpha?
Skele7on, look at what I wrote. Just make sure the map you just played is not on the vote list. In KZSF I hardly ever play the same map twice in a row.
The fact that Nuketown comes up three times in a row in Cod is because most other maps suck ass in cod.

Yes.
It does.
I agree the playlists/matchmaking system needs work (then again BETA) to stop repeat maps, but please god no to a map voting system.

I've only had issues once with glide. It's very satisfying to glide all the way to a base from high ground and people are looking for you in the radar but can't see you until you land and shotgun punch them
Sources please?

This would be perfect. If I have to play through First Light 6 times in a row again I'm gonna lose my mind.

So I picked up a PS4 at lunch based solely on how fun Destiny was on PS3. Hello fellow PS4 owners!
But while I was in the store I was hit with the bullshit stick. Tried to preorder Destiny, guy says they no longer have codes as the beta has ended. I did mention it was coming back in two days and he said that was only for Xbox. Problem is, you can't tell these guys the correct information, they won't have it.
Wondering if I preorder on PSN when I get home if I'll get my beta access back.

After many, many hours, I finally found one. It was a random drop from Devil's Lair (Lv 8 "Hard" Mode)

took me a long time but yeh I finally did.
Can't remember if it was found or just bought from the weapons vendor.
Do we know if Machine Gun / Rocket Launcher are the only heavy weapons in the end product?
Haha, yea, I prefer no map voting. Clans/friend Fireteams will pretty much always stack the vote in their favor anyway. Random works.
AMEN, I despise map picking, it ruins it and you end up playing same map OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER, I then get horrifically bored and then decide to play something else.
I tried to play Halo 3 the other day, BUT god damn, the hackers have made it their home and level 50 games seeing people flying about instant head shots, NOPE NO NO.
As a PS4 owner since launch, welcome to the family! And yes, you can still get a code if you preorder via PSN. My bro did that yesterday and still got a code.

Why is it random and not based on skill? Because the current system sucks ass.
It does? I didnt see any notification in Orbit, and I heard about it through GAF. Hoe about casual players? A timer that a special event is incoming should be more visible.
What is wrong with a map voting system? If you have good maps and you never show the same map twice in a row, players can choose what they want to play. whats wrong with options?
Map voting only turns bad when its done badly, like in cod.

Thanks. Now I know they exist, at least. Must have spent like 10k on special weapon engrams. -_-
September 9th can't come quick enough.
I really enjoy the Titan Class, but started leveling a Warlock because you guys keep saying they are the bee's knees.
My first impression isn't super awesome, but that is because i picked up a shitty gun and don't have my super yet.
I am guessing it is the Super that makes all the difference?

What we lack in altitude we make up in distance.
yeah you'll get it back.
I was at E3, so no, no Alpha for me.
So i should just double tap to get on higher ground?

Everyone with a vita and PS4 should remote play this. I was at my parents house this weekend, pulled out my vita and played Destiny on my PS4 that was at my house.
The controls are amazing and the input delay is way less than you might think. Truly an amazing age we live in.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU BUNGIE for not using the fucking rear touchpad for the Vita controls. It plays so well on the vita and looks fucking amazing.
^hah, i see i'm not the only one who enjoyed the remote play.

Im not sure what the problems are with map voting if its done right. In KZSF I've never played the same map twice in a row.
By the way, I really hope Bungie utilizes the touchpad and speaker on the ps4 controller.

I have no issue with it, but I wouldn't have a problem with a more skill based way to dish out loot. Maybe they have a chance based system where the top players have a higher chance but it could also go to a lower end player. Remember that not everyone can be top of the leaderboard once let alone regularly, and they deserve loot too.
When you launch into Orbit when the event starts you get a full page pop-up that says the Iron Banner is alight, etc. etc.
Cannot stand it. You end up getting a system where maps get voted in lieu of better ones because they're "popular".

Question (and I think I already know the answer): If I leave my ps4 at home in VA, would it even be playable by remote play from Indiana?
I really want that damn emblem and I'm gonna be 10 hours away...
Me and the, .89 kdr go way back
First couple days in PVP scenario for game I do God awful, I had a, .50 on Friday afternoon, but then I learned the maps and am slowly climbing back up that mountain
Here is mine. I don't think i have played as much as you do.

The super is like the titans only that it can have a lasting effect, similar to the grenade. So you can take people post mortem. The most satisfying kill I have had, which now I hate myself for not saving is on Venus when there were 4 enemy team people capturing B and I glided from the side really high up nova'd all of them. Then landed and killed a guy with a shotgun.

I find crucible to be much less balanced compared to the alpha.
If you aren't using an auto/shotgun combo, you're done unless you're sniping. I used to own games using pulse rifles, and now it simply results in my slaughter.
Really not enjoying it. Feels really unbalanced.
Edit: Also, the beta in general has been more buggy than the alpha. More disconnects, game breaking bugs, physics issues, etc. While with the alpha I had no issues and was always amazed this was an alpha.

pretty much the only way is to FR them atm.
Although I am not looking forward to doing this on xbox
because the new "twitter" like friend system is crap.

Shotguns have a very short range though. I get one shotted so many times by pulse rifles.
