151 when I posted it here today, and I've even found another piece of gear that drove that up by 8 if I remember correctly. I can't check it now though. Was definitely in the 155+ region though.

Apparently, the app decided to update one more time and my final number was 158;

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

If you have another Bungie code can you play the beta on more than one platform or do you need another GT? (my bungie account has my PSN and GT linked)

Edit: Yes, you need another Bungie code though.

 

[Kikarian]

Any word if the Moon will playable when the beta comes back up? Bungie pls.

Nope. It's probably there as a teaser because when you click it, it says it will be available at launch.

 

[Azric]

>_> hunter ftw

 

[IKizzLE]

I really hope the story missions aren't structured like this in the final game. Complete one, go to orbit, complete another, go to orbit. No flow for story missions. The only time I should be going to orbit for a story mission is if the story takes me to another planet.

Question, who thinks Hip-fire is actually OK as it is? I've heard people call for more accuracy, but it seems effective enough to me.

Feels like at fair toss up between going ADS or Hip (with the ADS delay to scope being the deterrent in that decision).

Me likey.

 

[The Librarian]

Mr. Tiemen, would you be interested in designing a small banner for the eventual Beta withdrawal thread?

 

[pokeystaples]

She's talking about when the app is up. It defaults to one Guardian and doesn't seem to have an option to switch which Guardian you're looking at.

Yup. It is so weird. I grinded like hell for glimmer and want to see my iron banner titan sash and nothing.

You mean threads, right?

I hate how inaccurate it is when you jump. That needs to be fixed!

oh god you're right

160 defense is the max I've seen so far. Here's mine:

Or nah. Hip fire accuracy is pretty bad for Scout Rifles and Auto Rifles. I don't care that much what they focus on, but I have not found hip fire for those weapons at all reliable... Well at least in PvP.

 

[ultron87]

I think scout and auto rifle are suitable replacements that decide if you will be close or mid range when you fight. The shotguns might be too strong to be a primary. I was killed in one shot from one during iron banner (unless I mis-identified the gun).

I'm pretty sure it can one-shot at close in the non-leveled PvP, but I don't really feel like being a special weapon limits the shotgun at all. Ammo is fairly plentiful for specials such that you can pretty much always have ammo for it during an engagement. So I'd rather taking it actually sacrifices your ability to effectively fight at other ranges with the various rifles then let everyone start with a close range and a mid-long range gun.

 

[TheOMan]

Click on your Bungie id in the app, then it will take you to your profile where you can see all of your characters. Took me a while to find it, it's definitely not obvious.

British space dude announcer has actually grown on me.

I love how he says "good work" when you capture all the zones.

I like when he laughs when you're winning by a large margin.

 

[SJS]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that music when you're at the first part of the Devil's Lair, too. Epic stuff.

What's up with the insanely low volume levels in the first one? Any other stuff up with all the music?

I tried to find better quality recordings, but no one has done it but that guy, unfortunately.

 

[Nightengale]

Companion App question: Why can't I view my female titan? I still have the male titan shadow thing. I didn't see another app update.

You can.

You need to swipe the 'shadow thing' to the right for it to show your other characters.

Alternatively, you can go to your profile where your characters are listed as well.

 

[todahawk]

All this talk of Vortex grenades is getting me hot under the collar.

Nothing like a Post-Mortem triple kill when everyone waltzes back into your vortex after thinking they one-upped you by snuffing your light.

So satisfying.

i'm doing ok in pvp but man do i have post mortem kills locked down

 

[Arrrammis]

I hate how inaccurate it is when you jump. That needs to be fixed!

I personally like the accuracy as is. If you take the time to aim, you should be rewarded with more accurate fire than somebody jumping all over the map.

 

[Nestled_Grizzly]

My favorite moment was when he was like,

"This isn't a victory......it's a massacre!!"

If you could acknowledge that the Warlock is better than the Hunter, I could perhaps start thinking about making a banner for you. ;-)

Spoiler

Yeah, I'll make one, don't worry. ;-)

New Destiny pre-order trailer.

at least i think it's new.

 

[Icyflamez96]

I like the announcer. I usually hate when people say this, but I gotta.... I don't understand all the hate on him.

Spoiler

sorry guys i'm not perfect forgive me of my sins

I felt like i'd just been given a cookie, gold star and a pat on the back all at once.

Or nah. Hip fire accuracy is pretty bad for Scout Rifles and Auto Rifles. I don't care that much what they focus on. but I have not found hip fire for those weapons at all reliable... Well at least in PvP.

My auto rifle had a perk that increases hop fire accuracy. Made it pointless to ADS at short to medium range.

Best perk I've found on a weapon by far.

 

[The Librarian]

I personally like the accuracy as is. If you take the time to aim, you should be rewarded with more accurate fire than somebody jumping all over the map.

I don't think that's necessarily a good thing when the combat – PVP or PvE – is as chaotic as it is.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Yeah British announcer guy grows on you. He feels like an old friend now.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

160 defense is the max I've seen so far. Here's mine:

Is your subclass focus completely maxed? I haven't been gaining any XP on mine for a while, seemingly even from Bounties.

Like all the other voice actors.

Yeah i feel a bit self conscious that accent melts me like butter and I'm a heterosexual man.

Nope. It's probably there as a teaser because when you click it, it says it will be available at launch.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I think bunny hopping around to not be shot is going to become way more popular as users get familiar with the game. It's gonna get ugly.

 

[everyday math]

I can see it now:

Spoiler

The Traveler wants to help us, but also wants to keep us confined to the Solar System so we'll be safe from the horrors of interstellar war. Being equal parts heroic and bullheaded, we prove our worth and seek even more dangerous adventures out among the stars.

Spoiler

A twist The Traveler and the Darkness are one an the same.

 

[The Librarian]

I knew I should've acquired a British accent!

But he doesn't sound bored to me at all. He sounds genuinely enthusiastic about the match

And his voice fits the theme

 

[Nestled_Grizzly]

Spoiler

Like all the other voice actors.

I don't think he sounds bored. He sounds calm and noble which fits the mood of Destiny.

 

[Step]

My favorite moment was when he was like,

"This isn't a victory......it's a massacre!!"

My fav so far is when he says:
"you crushed them, send them home crying"
He sounds so boss haha.


How do I max discipline and those other 2 stats?

This is so gonna happen, but it is so dumb at the same time. Zombie guardians will turn against humanity and your character will have to break the bond. Ghost is final enemy or some crap like that.

 

[vypek]

Putting it like that...I have to agree with you. You're right.

 

[Kane1345]

I've grown way too attached to my character. I'm normally fine with beta wipes but this one.....don't get rid of my hunter Bungie

 

[Dragon]

Spoiler

This is so gonna happen, but it is so dumb at the same time.

Serious question, is anyone really looking forward to the story of this game? I'm pretty sure it's going to be the weakest aspect of the game and that's okay with me.

 

[pushBAK]

I was looking forward to it back in 2013 when they revealed this game (the first vidoc) but over time I have cared less and less. The beta's story missions pretty much killed any hope I had. Sucks, because I wanted something good out of it. Will still play though.

I'm looking forward to it. The story missions left me wanting more.

This is as far is it'll let me get on the Warlock skill chart:

I've been stuck there since day 1 of the beta.
