Hopefully the whole ''Bungie betrayed us!'' bullshit will go away by then.

Spoiler

Who am I kidding? It'll never go away.

Well I do feel kinda bad that they actually don't get to play that long.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Yeah, but I just don't see people choosing it that much. Unless you get good points for people being inside it. We'll have to see how it works.

I personally would love to have one on my team.

I'm going to have a Bubble Titan and a Bladedancer Hunter to switch between based on composition needs for both PvE and PvP. Depending on the abilities of my teammates, I would have no problem filling the defensive role with the Bubble Titan while they went offensive. Denying the enemy points can be just as valuable as earning points imo. And I could still obviously rack up kills with my weapons anyways.

 

[Karl Hawk]

That I can agree with.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

The weirdness of this thread is approximately equal to the length of the Beta downtime.

Just wait.. once the beta ends.. we have 44 days of Queen DAX!! Class warfare and BUNGIEPLZ

 

[Midnight Phoenix]

Maybe -- though that probably seems like stuff they'll add in with expansions and such. I doubt they'll pull a major story event for the beta.

They can do this for testing purpose and it will be repeated. Twit didn't specify, that rewards will be exclusive to beta. Nevertheless whatever rewarding event will be, it will be for testing purpose and I feel that this will be some massive event, with more than 6 fire-team.

 

[Ivory Samoan]

It will be nice when all (X's & P's) can celebrate in the Destiny light together.

This thread will be moving so fast... it's going to be craycray.

 

[IAmRandom31]

To put the ability into perspective into what we have available now. Lets say ... Mars

F'in Mars. That B point. Giant death trap is all that point is. 2 sides to pay attention to, grenades being tossed into the flag area, rockets, supers, its a meat grinding area.

But, with a Defender class Titan, he could say drop a shield over the flag area, people can respawn in the area and run through the shield for damage boosts, try to hit flag C while amped up. Defender could then pop someone with their melee, activate Force Barrier, get a kill during force barrier to start a chain reaction of Orbs of Light falling all over, activating everyone elses supers. Then bam bam, take C / A.

Or something like that. Who knows how long the barrier lasts.

Are xbox one codes going out today?

 

[Kei-]

I'm not talking about the attack. They all have their uses. But just the animation needs to be tweaked a bit. My Hunter doesn't need to jump in the air for so long.


Oh okay, the animation itself. Hmm, I haven't found that it gets me into trouble, but again that's 'cause I feel as a Hunter, you shouldn't be activating in anyone's line of sight or even within grenade distance.

I even use it to get a safer activation when I have to activate in a somewhat risky spot, like outside a doorway like I mentioned earlier. I use the extra elevation to hide above the doorway as I pop my Golden Gun, then I drop down and kill them.

But I guess the animation could be tweaked slightly.

 

[The Librarian]

Are xbox one codes going out today?

Most likely tomorrow at 10am PDT.

Bungie's website, in the section where you redeem your codes, says the 22nd (for some reason), but Bungie's been pretty adamant about the 23rd for Xbox.

 

[Obscured]

I got a blue helmet from a green engram.

I got blue gauntlets from a green engram, but they are level 10 so I hate them right now.

 

[TheOMan]

I think you mean Engram. The only anagram of green is genre.

Dropping knowledge.

So, I've been thinking about it, and, I really don't see how I'm going to play both CoD: AW *and* Destiny. #trivialdilemmas

 

[Samus4145]

Tomorrow I believe.

 

[majik13]

Does a vault = a raid?

Would be cool. The vault of glass, the serephim vault. Its possible. Vaults must hold crazy loot in them and it only makes sense for it to be crazy hard to reach the ends of them. Im going to go ahead and assume vault = raid.

I thought it was confirmed there was only 1 raid for the whole game. The Vault of Glass. No?

 

[Icyflamez96]

PSU was not a MMO. A half assed hub lobby does not make it a MMO. Please let's not bloat up genres because it's handy short hand you can do games a disservice.

PSU consists of the hubs, which are basically lobbies, and everything else is just instanced missions where you and your party go. It doesn't have a proper persistent world. It's an online game, with lots of people connecting to the servers, but that's not all there is to being an MMORPG. Slapping a large online lobby onto Monster Hunter doesn't quite make it the same type of game as WoW, FFXIV or GW2. Much like Destiny is different, so too is PSU.

They're different types sure, but now you guys are telling me that tons of people in one server doesn't make an MMO? It may not be the same kind, but something like Planetside 2 is also an MMO.

My main points still stand either way.

 

[Dany]

So is this playable 2 AM CDT?

 

[CornDogg]

Does anyone know why on the grimoire page for races it says 3 out of 4 unlocked.

Human, Awoken, Exo and ??

Fallen. Arbiter 2.0.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Not looking forward to xbox people playing because that means even more people applying for the groups/clans.

Tell them they'll be able to join the clan a year after the release of the game.

Too soon?

It is the only one they have mentioned, but they have not confirmed that it is the only one.

Doubt it. That's major stuff that (if it even exists) would spoil that stuff happening in the final retail experience

Conflicting information. A recent press kit Acti put out said "raids" (plural). So who knows.

It is the only one they have mentioned, but they have not confirmed that it is the only one.

Well DeeJ did say pretty conclusively there was a singular raid at least at launch. But a recent press kit mentions "raids". So it's all up in the air.

it was changed from the 23rd to the 22nd. that seems to mean they will be sending out codes today, despite the beta not being online till tomorrow.

i cant imagine why else it would have been updated to the 22nd...

 

[Admiral Woofington]

If I weren't on mobile I'd post the gif of the cat going oooooh from puss in boots.

 

[op_ivy]

Fallen. Arbiter 2.0.

hell yes

 

[In Service]

It is the only one they have mentioned, but they have not confirmed that it is the only one.

If they release anymore it will clearly be as DLC or as PS exclusive content.

Spoiler

why would xbox people join if ps and xbox cant play together anyways ?

Dax, who is the person in your avatar?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

No alpha for xbone.
Late beta access.
Xbone beta @ 900p.

I would say yes, too soon.

Spoiler

At least they are getting retail game at 1080P, which is great for console parity.

 

[boredofcanada]

Inquiring minds want to know

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Not sure if it was confirmed only one raid or if they were only talking about one raid. But we only know of one raid yes and it does seem like there is only one. I can dream though.

Link to that?

 

[Kaiken]

hell yes

These guys should of had guns in the upper torso arms and swords and the lower torso arms. Blessed with extra arms and all they do is climb with them.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

hell yes

Someone at bungie definitely loves General Grievous to give him this makeover. Now only if he could have his laser swords. Daang.

 

[Karl Hawk]

Sounds like a nightmare for animators to do that.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Not sure if it was confirmed only one raid or if they were only talking about one raid. But we only know of one raid yes and it does seem like there is only one. I can dream though.

Bungie has always stated Raids. Why would anyone think there would be one Raid? lol. They made that a central point to the game during E3 2013.

 

[TheOMan]

LOL, rude, but hilarious!

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Nope. Intentional game design choice to make weapons more valuable.

Whenever you implement a trading system into a game, it inherently makes certain weapons more valuable and a significant portion of weapons become "trash" to the majority of the populace.

Cheers

Guess I'll be dismantling my Fusion and Semi-Auto rifles then, just don't much like using charge-up or burst weapons in games

Are there any full-manual assault rifles in this, like the FAL in MW2?

 

[Byron Bluth]

We better be going to the moon tomorrow!

Otherwise I will likely be done with the beta. Content wise I exhausted it with the alpha, and don't want to burn out on the game before release.

If they don't unlock the moon to explore tomorrow, the only way I'll go back is if they allow character transfers to the final release. Annoyed they haven't said no or yes yet.

Quad-wield heavy machine guns.

Even if they just unlocked the level 6 story mission on the Moon, I'll be fine with that because I don't want to spoil myself too much on the Moon stuff.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Groups can have two clans. 75 of playstation and 75 of xbox.

 

[majik13]

Hopefully all that playspace in the distant is playable. E3 video did say we could.

and there has been no word on that since, I am guessing it was BS or scrapped at this point. They did a simliar thing with Halo 3 IIRC

 

[op_ivy]

Quad-wield heavy machine guns.

4 fucking golden guns as a super. fallen = best class.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

One fusion rifle is annoying enough. Vandals with long range fusion rifles are the biggest pita in the beta.

Spoiler

that rhyme was unintentional
