Bit of an odd query - when I'm recording gameplay on my PS4 of Destiny MP, it will record my voice through my headset but not the voices of anyone in my team. Anyone know if this is doable?
 
Probably the latency's handiwork again. If it can hit two enemies without that upgrade though, it's kinda pointless.

That's true. I figured it was just part of the Golden Gun like two kills with one bullet snipes, but then I saw the upgrade and have yet to get another one.

The opposite of this bugged me. I accidentally recorded voice chat on several of my clips. I think changing the voice from blended to headset only in Destiny's options menu fixed it though.

For me, it only records my team's voices if we were just in the game chat and not party chat.
 
The Beta will be offline for scheduled maintenance on July 21 – July 22.

Now does this mean it will reopen to PS users on the 22nd or the 23rd with the Xbox systems?
 
I kind of wish personal bikes weren't allowed in Crucible. Something about the PVP feels off to me still. I can't quite put my finger on it.

I absolutely LOVE that we get our own sparrow for PvP. I think bc we already have our own ride they should just remopve the stupid pikes and interceptors. Fuck those vehicles lol

But then you'll never have the satisfaction of knowing throwing knife > pike.
 
It'd be ridiculously easy to spawn kill on First Light if they weren't.

It's inescapable for me to compare the game to Halo (perhaps that's the problem). But, at least on the few hours i've put, it seems that the pace of the game, the feel of the weapons, and an overly more chaotic tone to the PVP makes it seem off.

It could just but me and, perhaps, i'm being reluctant to let my notions of Halo go.

Still, I am having a blast with the PVE component.
 
I used the Hunter so far for the beta and has been great. I'm going to play the remainder of the beta on my Xbox One and I want to switch up my class, so I have a question for people who have used the Titan and Warlock:

Which do you prefer? I'm leaning more towards the Titan but I'm honestly still unsure.

EDIT: I also still have a PS4 beta code that I haven't used, if anyone wants it just send me a PM! First come, first serve.

Played Titan (lv. 8), then Warlock (4), then Hunter (4). Could not get used to the Warlock's floaty jump. I could do the 'scout the caves' quest in Explore that require you to jump the airplane wing / ramp to reach with the Warlock jump.


Don't see a clear winner with respect to the RT+LT abilities; Warlock's projectile is probably the most versatile, but the Titan's skill is easier to aim, and the Hunter's power won't let you rack up the multi-kills the way the other two do. (Hunter skill may be better in PVP, but I'm more of a PVE guy.)
 
If you are into PVP like Halo MP, Destiny is not the game for you. I learned this playing the beta.

Shame

Eh no. Don't speak for an entire group like your opinion was the only one. I tend to only get into Halo games multiplayer and I am loving this as the shooting feels really similar, not to mention the map design and vehicles/running combination.
 
Xbox One codes are apparently going out a day early (tomorrow)?

There seems to be a tiny cult of GAF members who believe that no one really likes Destiny and all our enjoyment is being paid for by Bungie. Huh.

Why can't people just let other people have nice things? xD

Halo is the only MP shooter I've ever cared to play, and yet I like Destiny's PvP way more.

It has enough Halo to feel familiar to me, but the new mechanics make both solo and team play more interesting and more rewarding. It's not without its issues (and neither was Halo), but if they balance it right, I think it'll end up being something special. I'll probably spend most of my time in Crucible, which I find weird because I was originally only interested in the co-op campaign modes.

Between Alpha and Beta these are the two classes I've played. As much as I wanted to like the Warlock better, I found the Titan to be more fun. Now I've put more time into the Titan but I felt like the Warlock didn't have enough offensive goodies to offset their squishy nature.

So my recommendation would be Titan, but I intend to give most of the rest of the Beta to Warlock to see if it clicks once I unlock a bit more.
 
On the default share settings, double tap the share button to record a video clip. I have it set to record 15 minutes and after that time expires it will auto save to my Capture Gallery. But if I tap the share button at any time during that, I can save the video clip there by pressing square. You should be careful not to do this and then cancel out, or double tap while it's recording, because I think that discards the clip you were recording.

The best way to upload it afterwards is to copy the clip to a USB drive, as it gets compressed when you use Facebook and Twitter.

i see. thanks.

btw which rifle are you using?
 
Ok, after pumping in about 25+ hours over the weekend on the PS3 version, and maxing a Warlock, then Hunter, then Titan, I am more than ready to try this out on Xbox One. Wednesday can't come soon enough.

Absurdly impressed with this game on all fronts. I actually enjoy the PVP, which I was really apprehensive about going in. But to me, the cake is still in the PVE stuff. That's just so, so good. And something that I had been wanting for Halo for years. Thank you Bungie for such a good game. My life is going to be consumed by this come 9/9, I just know it.

Bungie give me that white ps4 and I'll tell everybody that this is the next coming of gaming jesus.

What about our integrity you say? Don't you know? This is NeoGAF. Our integrity is as big as our paychecks are small

if only we could add a fading in NeoGAF at the end of this lol

The Sparrow is one of my favourite things on The Moon, so much fun roaming the dunes, looking for targets, then dueling in the Moon Dust...
