The FOV and frame rate are a legitimate issue. The tight frame, low frame rate, and joystick aiming makes me feel like I'm playing under the influence of DXM. Especially in PVP. It says a lot about the quality of Destiny and how much I like it that this isn't so much of an issue to me once I've gotten used to it.

The image quality is excellent and the art is beautiful but the motion fidelity is C-grade at best. It's just a hard truth.

You have the ability to slide UP stairs
Be content

Yes. I saw a shotgun that had "longer slide" as an upgrade.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Still don't really get why there's two days of maintenance. Maybe Sony couldn't buy any more days of exclusivity.

Plenty of things can happen due to feedback. They can start to balance out shit like weapons and vehicles. I doubt they can do it in two days but maybe they'll redesign Mars so those that start at c don't get such a huge advantage.

low framerate?

I have truly experienced no framerate issues during my 20+ hours so far in Beta. The only time I have noticed a hitch is when in the menu and checking out a gun.

 

[Aspirations26]

Added! Awesome, can't wait for this maintenance to be over. Already having withdrawals haha.

Yeah I accepted on the playstation app. I'll probably be on later tonight if the servers are up. Will be nice to play with some peeps with teamwork and communication for once lol.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Do you guys think the intro that we played in the BETA is point for point the same as the retail release?

 

[The_Hitcher89]

I love sliding into capture zones for no reason

 

[Skele7on]

STOP, maintenance time

 

[The Lamonster]

I wonder what they're doing for two days, from a technical standpoint.

Are they practicing for live production maintenance? Reindexing databases etc, boring stuff like that?

Or will they be changing game code like balancing issues?

 

[Abstruse Moose]

The wait from the end of beta to September 9th is going to suck.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Lol, I did this nearly everytime I had a clear capture. Slide into cap zone, pop up into Exo dance. Beautiful.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

...and beta is down. Prefect timing, I just finished a strike and received 12 green items overall.

 

[figadapaura]

I hope they open up the Moon. Seems odd that it would be there for no reason.

 

[jon bones]

The framerate stability does seem significantly worse than the Alpha.

Yes. I saw a shotgun that had "longer slide" as an upgrade.

rad

 

[SocksAndShoes]

I'm hoping the moon mission gets unlocked and the 2 other maps get added to vanilla Crucible. I'm getting really tired of the Venus and Moon maps.

 

[Zabant]

It's Ogre

No more Destiny for 2 days...

 

[Admiral Woofington]

STOP, maintenance time

I'm listening to The Rockafeller Skank and this went perfectly in sync lol

 

[Hedrush]

And it's down

 

[Skele7on]

I'm listening to The Rockafeller Skank and this went perfectly in sync lol

lol now I want to try....

 

[The Librarian]

I'm hoping the moon mission gets unlocked and the 2 other maps get added to vanilla Crucible. I'm getting really tired of the Venus and Moon maps.

If the moon mission gets opened up I'm only going to do the mission and leave exploring the rest of the map for retail release.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Now I have to play Destiny with my imagination for 48 hours. I'm so good when I play this way.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

The pulled the plug.......

Maybe moving us over to a newer build? Adding in balance changes and other bits.

 

[ultron87]

I'm assuming/hoping we'll get a mission or two on the Place Where Wizards Come From and maybe a slightly raised level cap. The fact that there is a reasonable amount of Lvl 9 gear seems conspicuous.

Letting Sony update their store without issues, I guess.

 

[Pandora012]

I think I'm already suffering from a mini withdrawal.

 

[The Librarian]

Thanks, Y2Kev!

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Same here. I've already got most of Old Russia memorized, I don't want to spoil myself on the Moon just yet.

 

[Atkison04]

Do we get a new set of codes for the beta part 2 or are we good to go off the previous code? Come on Wednesday!

There's probably a Wizard there

 

[todahawk]

They are going to raise the level cap

Spoiler

believe

Mixed blessing if they do as I've been selling off the weapons with level 9 & 10 requirements, including a really nice blue/rare rifle I got last night.

Good to go.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

That's what I'm thinking. Getting more balancing done before xbox people play and see what new issues arise with the new balancing. Maybe the moon mission as well. But there's no reason to add the other maps to vanilla crucible since they put iron banner quite often.

Well, IIRC Urk said they might be fixing frame stuttering issues during beta, so they might be pushing out an update and making some changes. So we might get nothing, maybe just some technical fixes, or maybe some other things added. Nobody knows.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

You'll need to send in a blood sample for part 2.

Spoiler

Just kidding...for now.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Feeling that withdrawal again...

 

[p3tran]

I hope they open up the Moon. Seems odd that it would be there for no reason.

well, there is a reason moon is next to earth in that map, its because its earth's satellite

 

[Lakitu]

So when will it be back?

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Wait, how many times have they done the Iron Banner now? I only got in the first time.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

So when will it be back?

Wednesday at the latest.

Wait, how many times have they done the Iron Banner now? I only got in the first time.

Four times total. Saturday and Sunday 5-7 PM and 10-12 PM EST

 

[The Lamonster]

So I didn't play the Alpha, but at what point does the ghost say "that wizard came from the moon?"

Is it from one of the same missions in the Beta? i.e. has Bungie removed that line from the game?

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Wait, how many times have they done the Iron Banner now? I only got in the first time.

Like 3 of 4 times. Assuming that what my gaf friend is right and they also did it yesterday night around 9 pm central.

 

[Dre_G_Writer]

SHIIIITTT No wonder I've not found any.

I think they need to stand out a little more from the environment though. Maybe give them a glimmer or have the lights on them strobe between colours. Something to help your eye catch them.

Nah, you dont find em with your eyes, you find em with your EARS. crazy right???

The chest makes this glimmering sound when your near one, thats how I was able to find some of these.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

W the F? I missed a lot then.

 

[The Librarian]

Only Xbox users get their codes. You still have the Beta; you still play it.

Seems to be removed, yes.

Twice.

Oh really?! I wasn't aware of that xD Maybe next week I'll have a better chance xD
