I know, but does he speak in the beta? I don't recall hearing his voice, while I definitely recognised Gina's voice in the beta.

Yup. He's one of the quest givers in the missions you pick up in explore mode.

 

[Marvel]

Is it me or does that Hunters cloak in that GIF look split into two parts? COOL if true.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Hmmm - that might explain the "Chain of Woe" timer I kept seeing when I was playing just before the Beta went down. Did anybody else see that?

Chain of Woe is a hunter skill, you can keep on chaining it every time you get headshots. 3 sec per scalp.

 

[Jest Chillin]

I know, but does he speak in the beta? I don't recall hearing his voice, while I definitely recognised Gina's voice in the beta.

Nathan is the Hunter NPC Cayde-6 and Gina is the Warlock NPC Ikora Rey.

 

[The Librarian]

DAX SERIOUSLY
HE IS TALKING ABOUT HUNTER SMASH

Huh? I'm giving an explanation for why the bar refills in that .gif. Could be a similar ability for the arc blade.

 

[Xamtheking]

Can also confirm this.

Who kidnapped Bungie while we were sleeping

 

[TheOMan]

Chain of Woe is a hunter skill, you can keep on chaining it every time you get headshots. 3 sec per scalp.

Yeah, just saw that, but what does it actually do for you?

Can also confirm this.

Beta coming back early???? Please let it happen.

 

[In Service]

Can also confirm this.

But, but, but my Bungie.net date just dropped back to 23 July from 22 July too.

This is too much!!!!

 

[op_ivy]

Can also confirm this.

oh my.

 

[MrGreencastle]

Well, hmm, I've been told (someone who works at MS) Activision's pushed the Xbox beta up by a day and wants to have a surprise re-open today, as a "goodwill gesture" to Xbox players since many were a bit upset about only getting 4 days. Turns out not even Activision Europe knew about it.

This same person told me about quite a few things that ended up true in the past so...I'm..."inclined" to believe it at this point.

This would make me super happy because I really like the game. But a good will gesture? By opening the beta up during the "maintenance period"? Seems a bit unlikely. And even so, the only positive is that the beta would be a day or so longer. Which everyone will forget once the game and each DLC/expansion comes out and Xbox users don't get the same amount of content when paying the same price as Playstation users, as well as no option to pay up for it either way even if you wanted the content. Want good will? Release some "extra" content on Xbox, too, don't gate it for some stupid sour business tactic. Yoda for Xbox, Vader for PS, etc. Good will my butt. Oh gee thanks Activision!

 

[everyday math]

Can also confirm this.

Oh my

 

[spacemonkeynation]

I hope there's an arena mode in PvP. A classic weapon respawns and powerups on the ground, map control type mode.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Well... That looks like it'll be the most OP super ever. Infini grenade on a time limit? Damn...

Edit: Wait a second. Every kill is generating light orbs that's increasing the time limit? The hell?

Looks like it will keep on refilling as long as you keep on killing enemies in quick succession, but the recharge time may be very long.

 

[Confrontation]

Really, you see a penis in that.

 

[Mixolydian]

I keep reloading mine and am staying at the 22nd. It likely means nothing, but it makes me happy.

 

[mcfrank]

Hadnt seen this before either.

 

[Marvel]

Hope we get a CTF style mode.

Glorious Sparrow chases.

 

[Kei-]

If you get a knife kill while you have your golden gun out it prolongs the time of your super (not sure about the number of shots, though).

Yea, I am a bit unsure about this as I haven't tried it myself; but if you pop Golden Gun, do your throwing knives become insta-kills as well?

 

[Voorhees]

Yeah, just saw that, but what does it actually do for you?

It makes your reload speed increased. Bigger the stack the faster the clip gets put back.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

That happens to be a true lady you barbarian.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Nathan is the Hunter NPC Cayde-6 and Gina is the Warlock NPC Ikora Rey.

Oh wow, didn't know that. I only heard Gina in one of the story missions.

Who is the voice over for the gunsmith?

"Oil your weapon Guardian" lol

 

[shinobi602]

Also, was there any confirmation on the level cap in the game?

 

[TheOMan]

So, the horse that represents this has already decomposed BUT Xbox will get the extra content. It's just timed exclusivity.

It makes your reload speed increased. Bigger the stack the faster the clip gets put back.

Oh, I see. Thanks! Clearly I missed that explanation in the game somewhere.

 

[Lee]

Still showing 22.

If they do come out, will entering the code on Xbox.com automatically start the download on my Xbox One? Isn't that true as of this most recent update?

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Anybody else get a WipeOut XL vibe from some of the ship and logo designs? I love it, it's very pleasing to look at.

 

[Scottish Sin]

Hadnt seen this before either.

Yeah, that just looks awesome.

 

[king grimlock]

Hadnt seen this before either.

that titan looks fat.....

 

[everyday math]

Hadnt seen this before either.

One of the ign videos showed it.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

No, that's in the upcoming update. I don't think it's been pushed out to preview members yet.

 

[TheOMan]

that titan looks swole.....

There you go.

 

[DesertFox]

Can't wait for the Xbox One beta to begin.

Since the site says check back on July 22nd, is it safe to assume that we will be able to download the client today so that it's ready when the servers go live again tomorrow?

 

[spacemonkeynation]

Titans can shrink in flight? Amazing

 

[everyday math]

Titans can shrink in flight? Amazing

HONEY, I SHUNK THE TITAN!

 

[Raven Prime]

Really, you see a penis in that.

It has an upward pointing shaft, plus a bulbous head. Not to mention the two thrusters. I was first thinking to myself well that looks like an odd spaceship and then it hit me..

EDIT: Didn't realize it was meant as some sort of tribute, glad it won't make it into the actual game though.

 

[Two Words]

What is this I don't even

I just noticed something. The yellow supercharge bar is refilling as the Hunter is killing enemies.

 

[Xamtheking]

Can't wait for the Xbox One beta to begin.

Since the site says check back on July 22nd, is it safe to assume that we will be able to download the client today so that it's ready when the servers go live again tomorrow?

No
Because there is now some minor evidence servers might actually go online TODAY

 

[Jest Chillin]

Oh wow, didn't know that. I only heard Gina in one of the story missions.

Who is the voice over for the gunsmith?

"Oil your weapon Guardian" lol

The Gunsmith I don't recognize. The voices I have recognized I listed earlier in the thread. They are Nathan Fillion (Hunter rep), Peter Stormare (Dead Orbit rep), Gina Torres (Warlock rep), Lance Reddick (Titan rep), Claudia Black (Special Orders NPC) and Shohreh Aghdashloo (Future War Cult rep). Lord Shaxx also sound very familiar but I can't place it.

 

[The Librarian]

Yea, I am a bit unsure about this as I haven't tried it myself; but if you pop Golden Gun, do your throwing knives become insta-kills as well?

Mm. Not sure, never tried it.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Yeah, just saw that, but what does it actually do for you?

CHAIN OF WOE

Precision kills increase weapon reload speed. Stacks up to 3 times.
Over the Horizon - Increases the range of Golden Gun.
Gamblers Dagger - Gain an additional Throwing Knife.

 

[Scottish Sin]

Titans can shrink in flight? Amazing

Damn it, cannot unsee!

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Hope we get a CTF style mode.

Neutral bomb.

But the bomb would be a 'to scale' traveller.

That's right.

 

[RdN]

I really hope this is true.. Would make a lot of fans happy.

Aw yeah.

 

[Confrontation]

It has an upward pointing shaft, plus a bulbous head. Not to mention the two thrusters. I was first thinking to myself well that looks like an odd spaceship and then it hit me..

Ah, I see what you mean now. Still a bit far-fetched to be honest lol

 

[Xamtheking]

That's right.

So...
grifball

 

[Raven Prime]

Ah, I see what you mean now. Still a bit far-fetched to be honest lol

Let's just call it inspired design..

 

[Marvel]

Griffdian.

 

[Kei-]

Anybody else get a WipeOut XL vibe from some of the ship and logo designs? I love it, it's very pleasing to look at.

Lol yea, definitely. Assegai all day.

I did see someone mention one of the NPC asked about their fastest time in a race, and I immediately thought they could definitely have race tracks with speed pads even, that would be amazing.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

CHAIN OF WOE

Precision kills increase weapon reload speed. Stacks up to 3 times.
Over the Horizon - Increases the range of Golden Gun.
Gamblers Dagger - Gain an additional Throwing Knife.

Damn. I'm a 'Lock all the way but that sounds amazing.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Nope.
