Funny that nobody likes objective because that's what I love. Unfortunately with no passenger vehicles in destiny (at least so far) looks like capture the flag might not happen. Shame as I love it.

I wonder if Bungie will add non competitive game types like in halo.

Oh fuck me. If they add a Griff ball equivalent forget about it my guardian is becoming a professional sports player.

Speaking of sports has any of you played soccer in the tower? Once in a while a soccer ball or a balloon appears and I transform into James Warlockdigrez.

Objective game modes are the GOAT of online MP modes.

Man, the textures on the 3d models in the companion app are really really dark.

Yeah, the weapon models may as well not be there and I swear that my guy doesn't look much like that at all colour-wise. Although I swapped out the cloak just before logging off last night so that's probably a big part of it looking so 'off' to me.
 
since we posting.....

I am standing in the Tower watching the Traveler and the bright city beneath it while stoned, and I tell you what, Bungie know their fucking skyboxes.

Nice! Aight man let's talk about this:

So, I'm guessing that impact scales highest on handcannons, then scouts, then pulse, then auto. So if you are a very accurate player, the handcannon won't have the diminishing returns of the lower scaled weapons (due to a potentially longer fight) right? Also, does handcannon dmg decrease due to range or can you snipe with them like Halo 1 pistol?
Click to expand...

Yeah it's dmg goes down quite drastically once you get outside of medium range encounters. It's not really a viable sniping machine like the original Halo pistol.

Not many are making secondaries. And really it's not like hunters are doing anything that makes them op atm. Just happens that for example people are playing as them. In my fireteam we have 2 warlocks and 2 hunters (including myself as a warlock). The other warlock is the best in our team and consistently gets above 2.0 kdr. One of the hunters is next with above a 1.5 and then I'm next.
Click to expand...
And I'm a hunter and dead last. I fucking suck at this game's pvp. Barely over a 1.0 kdr ;_;
 
Okay, so after the match I had last night on the Mars map I can see why people are saying the map is unbalanced. Also, I know they'll never do this but they really need to increase the FoV.

so.. how many think this is the next big thing? is it going to be massive?
Click to expand...

yup.


Seeing as to how well the game seems to be playing on the PS3, I'm sure the 360 version will run just as smooth and X1 version should be fine. So it can be enjoyed by anyone.

Word of mouth will spread, addictions will be created. Game will be huge.

If Watch Dogs can do 8,000,000 in first week, this game will do probably 12-15 million easy

I found one that was next to this cliff, and this small ledge where this enemy with ??? appeared. The enemy fell of the cliff, went down to explore the room, and found the ghost haha.
 
It took an annoyingly long am out of time to get a decent AR to drop for me to use in the Crucible. Was still stuck with a super high recoil AR that I hated well after hitting Lev 8. Just feels like a pointless annoyance that I have to grind out, serves no purpose but to waste my time.

This may be a stupid question, but does the group/clan stuff manifest in game at all? Never found anything in the menus for it.
 
So I'm ready to go for the 23rd. Have a half day at work(had the option of a full day, but figured I might as well come in for a little while to pass the time until DL is ready), have Friday off, as well as the weekend. I really can't wait.
 
Admiral, about your earlier post about the Titan super, you haven't quite got that right haha.

We have something called 'aftermath' which shoots waves of arc lightning from our impact point. It's gotten me quite a few post mortem kills. I also think it's better than the warlock version as it's less conspicuous. People are more hesitant to run into a mass of dark purple while mines just looks like a normal Titan impact point.

How long does it last though? Because warlocks specifically have an upgrade to their nova that makes it last longer and do lingering damage. It may be more stealth but I swear it can be dodged more easily outside of the guy who does it right in your face.
 
Am I the only one that kinda likes the Moon map? It makes for some great ranged combat.

I also like the vehicles, even though I agree that the Interceptor should be nerfed a bit.

Pretty proud of myself. Crucible is tons of fun, especially with a good group.
Click to expand...

Where you playing with friends? i think playing with people you know, and headsets would make this game a lot more exciting. I would generally try to stick with at least one person to dominate. Some would just want to go on their own tho.

I personally love it.
I kinda like Venus too, really disliked Earth.

Weapon stats affect crucible pvp? A level 8 shotgun will do more damage than a level 1 shotgun, for example?
Click to expand...

Its more about the rarity than the level ( although they are related somewhat). Abilities on your gear carry into the Crucible, so obviously having gear with abilities helps. Not sure about how bonus stats on armor are migrated into the Crucible.

The only thing about Destiny PVP that i like are the vehicles (overpoweredness aside). They handle wonderfully and feel very great.
And the Moon map is damn nice looking, and it isn't really that terribly arranged either (though it is nowhere near a great map).

Yeah we another ability to prolong duration of aftermath, grenades etc. I prefer the nova in that you can actually aim it however. I find that the fist of havoc, fast it maybe, quite cumbersome. Many a time I've missed with it.
 
I love this game so far but I just suck at the PvP. I know I haven't played many rounds so far but damn, I just get murdered every time. Keep trying though.

Didn't like it at first, but it's my favourite now. Great lines of sight and once you learn the layout taking care of vehicles becomes second nature.

I like the moon map. Biggest issue right now is interceptors. Recently we only lost because the opposing team grabbed both of them and they are a pain in the ass to kill.

I tend to stay defending B though. It's funny I usually hide in the roof crouching with a shottie and if somebody doesn't see me and tries to take the base I jump down punch them and shoot them. The ol 1 2.

Don't give up! I brought my KDR from about a .65 to above a 1 recently. You just need to learn what the best guns are for you (and avoid hand cannons like the plague).

I love how different it looks from different times. Seen daytime, sunset and night. If they added weather effects, that would be a nice touch.
 
Here's my stats on pvp so far. I personally think I can do better lol. Need to team up with some gaffers. I'm getting tired of being on a team that doest next to nothing with me carrying all the weight on my shoulders lol. Been representing the GAF clan in dominating fashion though ;).

Most of my deaths I feel were from supers lol.
 
Revolutionary said:
Nice. What does the perk do?
Click to expand...

First row second Icon:"Less Recoil, penalty to range"
Second row Icon: "More Range and Impact. Increased Recoil"
First row third Icon: "Slide further while this weapon is equipped"

I know they are not the best perks for a weapon, but for me it works and now I can sometimes take my opponent with me when i'm dying.
 
Any idea why I can't see my character on the app or on Bungie's site? All my stats and info are there but all I see of my Warlock is a generic silhouette.
