No love for the Sahara then, eh? I was having mixed feelings while leveling it up in pve, but it absolutely shredded hive knights. The stability upgrade I got along with ADS was fairly consistent for taking them down with shots to the head.

Plenty of things are viable in PvE while being awful in PvP, though, so not surprising.

Love the Sahara both in PVP and PVE. Shred dudes up on both.
 
Sorry to be annoying, but the other day people were saying about there was a subclass that lets you take on the class from another type, can anyone point me to where this info came from, interested to read up on it.

also GOOD LORD <3333

Not really. There's always incentive to hop onto Crucible since there is unique gear/events. MP communities are generally viable for all skill levels until the number of people actually playing the game dwindles. Casual players don't run away as much as they tend to move on so the people you have left are dedicated players who know what they are doing or people who are late to the bandwagon.

Um...you do understand why you can't just "up" the FOV on console games, right?

Well too completely honest. The devs Can do it ! If they would use the extra Power of the PS4 and would optimize their engine it would be possible. I am very disappointed in the performance of the game in general. In PVP the maps are not that big and it can't even hold solid 30 frames with a FoV of around 60. I think if they use the extra Power and get the Ice team too, the could increase it to 80-85 with solid 30 fps, although I would prefer 60 in PvP. Battlefield 4 looks better and is 60 fps and the Maps are way bigger. CoD is 60 fps and the Rainbow Six and Halo will also be 6on6 and the FoV looks always better.

This isn't an MMO...

Actually it pretty much is am MMO
I know Bungie says it is not because they don't want to upset the hard-core MMO player who might pick up the game and it may lack certain aspects of an MMO game

But, come on let's be serious, you get all the same 'feels' you would from playing an MMO minus the annoyance of children in trade chat and gold farmers spamming their services.

End result is the same. You have that short window to get it out before it's only the hardcore. So you have to be early and quick. :)

The game sits on 30fps but has frame pacing issues which results in judder on some frames.

With respect, and as a game developer: It's not that easy. Especially if they targeted a specific FPS. You can't just compare games (like "well CoD gets 60!")

I know this, but i think they could increase the FoV. Sorry the game does not look that demanding, I can accept the FoV in the open areas, but not in PvP. The game is designed to be very fast and vertical. The Low FoV is just so counterintuitive for that goal. I play alot of FPS also competitive. I never complained about the FoV, but in this game it really stood out for me. I am fine with 30 fps, totally for Destiny, but not with the lowest FoV i ever experienced in a console shooter, when Maps are not that big, graphic not that demanding looking and the player Count is only 6v6.

Still didn't get an answer on that: Are there neutral cities or some kind of home base?
Click to expand...

If you are looking at this as an MMO you will be looking for the wrong thing.

There is just 1 city which is home base. The last city which is under the traveler. No other cities planned. There are others but they are just instances or dead cities.
 
Got a question about the Control option. What does the option "Blickzentrierung" do? I think in english it is the first option under sensitivity. Must be something like Center View or something `?
 
Jakfu said:
So which faction are you guys going to join in the full game? For those of you that don't know what i'm talking about, there are different groups that you can join, and these groups are located throughout the tower. The ones I remember are: Dead Orbit, Vanguard, Mew Monarch?, Future War Cult. You can buy weapons, armor, and emblems through these faction dealers. Im leaning towards Dead Orbit myself. How about you guys?
Click to expand...
Dead orbit Boss voiced by peter stomare, and future war cult Boss voiced by Talis Admiral in Mass Effect.. Gonna be between those two for sure. Although some of that new Monarchy gear looks sexy as fuck.

And again, whether it "looks demanding" to you or not, that's not the point I'm making. You can't just magically change some numbers and expect the game to hold up at a higher FOV. However it "looks" to you is really not relevant.
 
So there is no way to increase FoV ? I think that would be very sad, because overall the Game and Art Design are sooo freaking good. :/

Shingen-C
62 Atk after fully upgraded in its Uncommon form


9/10 Rate of Fire
1/10 Impact
2/10 Range
6/10 Stability
5/10 Reload
4/10 Magazine

After testing a Sahara-AR2, I concluded the Shingen-C superior.
I would need to test an AR3 model to be convinced otherwise.
Click to expand...

I did that and I conclude that while AR3 has more impact and damage the recoil, mag and rof all favour shingen. I was able to get more headshots and deal damage quicker using shingen.
 
glaurung said:
Nope. None of the Halo games let you change the field of view either.

I miss this feature too. Right now the FoV feels to be around 75-80. I'd run it at 110 at all times.
Click to expand...

I don't want the option to change it myself. But they should increase it for everybody, ODST had a very good FoV around 88

Surely if we start messing around with FOV settings it'll give people advantages in PVP.

It needs to be a one for all scenario.

Yeah 5 feels a bit off if trying to take down a single opponent, but it is perfect imo in PVE to chain headshot kills with the SR.
Click to expand...

Yep, I also like the turn speed of 5 but just can't sacrifice my superior aiming of 4 in the Crucible.

Earth: 1 location (Explore, 5-7 Story Missions, 1 Strike)
Moon: 1 location (Explore, 5-7 Story Missions, 1 Strike)
Venus: 1 location (Explore, 5-7 Story Missions, 1 Strike, 1 Raid)
Mars: 1 location (Explore, 5-7 Story Missions, 1 Strike)
The Reef: 1 location (Explore, Recurring Bounties from the Queen of the Reef, Story Missons)
12-14 Multiplayer Maps

Things will expand over time with DLCs and stuff.


That would be my guess .
Click to expand...

There's a care package Activision PR has been sending to some prominent youtubers that features a location guide, as follows: Earth 1 zone, Moon 1 zone, Mars 1 zone, Venus 2 zones. Doesn't mention the Reef, so it's possible it is incomplete.
 
I hope they add an ads sensitivity slider because right now it's about the same as hipfire. it's really hard to get precise shots when you have sens way up.

So right now i have it at 3 just because in ads it's otherwise to fast.

I never managed to hit three enemies in a row with my Golden Gun. My maximum is two players with the Golden Gun and one just after with my AR.

Anyway, this GIF is amazing and seeing this, i'm proud to be a Hunter

Best ones are on the moon when you're minding your own business, running towards a point or whatever, suddenly you get tagged by a sniper from across the map and you're in deep red health. Yet, you manage to get behind an obstacle, trigger the super charge, double jump and smack the sniper.

Also to elaborate on this, it calls Venus "the last core location" but it mentions there will also be space environments.

So it is safe to say the game will launch with Earth, Moon, Venus and Mars + space environments. If the booklet is accurate, it's going to be one map per planet except Venus with two.

Not that much content heh.

This can't be right.

They already showed Twilight Gap which is a second map that takes place on Earth. That would make two maps on earth given Rusted Lands...

My average is 2 but when you do hit all 3 and the "Way of the Gun" pops up it feels oh so satisfying.

That is not enough imho. Bungie have been talking this up as a HUGE game. I guess they have been stowing some content away for DLC.

Are you guys talking about PVE or PVP maps/locations?
