Yeah, the ability to use characters on ANY platform for this and other games would only incentivize people into double or even triple dipping. Has there ever been a game that does this?
 
Okay, I think I'm gonna have a meltdown reading ''Small changes for Destiny'' thread. Some of the suggestions aren't even small... more like vague or big.

''Delete the PvP. It's shit.''
'Make the Tower not boring pls.'
''Put it at 60 FPS pls.''
''Make it nothing like Halo''

Are you fucking kidding me? >_<

What does that even mean? Some people are fucking weird.
 
Can someone outline what the Warlock's healing abilities encompass? Can they heal and revive or just one or the other? Does it use their special or what? Is there a cooldown? Can they do it from afar or do they have to be next to the person?
 
I know not right place but a buddy of mine just text me in need of a ps4 EU code would any of you fine people have one....

Still waiting for my xbox code....

is their a revive special? Considering anyone can already revive anyone. Or is it more like an automatic revive without having to manually do anything?
 
And everyone is aware of that. You know what I mean. The whole point I was trying to make is that I can't carry my character over to my PS version of Destiny which has the content, but none of my friends to play with, from my Xbox version of Destiny that has the friends, but not the content. I have both platforms. The choice is more complex for some people than "just buy the platform Bungie's releasing the content on" (really it is more accurate to say "don't buy the platform that Bungie is delaying the content on, without a discount of some sort", but whatever).
I just don't understand why people went in for Xbox One given everything that happened. First, the PS4 had a stellar reveal with Bungie even taking the stage and announcing exclusives. Then, Microsoft had a poor reveal and a convoluted vision of game ownership. Then the $100 price difference. Then the significant difference in performance. My regular group on XBL discussed it quite a bit in party chat last year and we all agreed to go with the PS4. It's only recently Microsoft's begun to turn it around.

The obvious yet expensive solution is to get all the versions of Destiny, which I may very well do myself. At least the exclusive content will eventually come to Xbox, and in the end, all versions will be at parity.
 
So, when I use mr default spaceship, I get to see my fire team and other pvpers on the load screen.

When I switch to my custom skin ship, I only see myself.

Intended? Bug? Why can I not show off?

Not a bug. I have a different ship and I can see peeps. I think it all depends on where they're coming from. If they did a mission on Mars and are going to the moon and you're already on the moon loading for another moon mission, you won't see them and vice versa, or something like that.
 
I just hope there isn't gonna be too much ridiculous extra stuff for the PvP.
What I mean is, during the beta, it was 90% the gungame that counted with the usual nades and then the occasional supercharges, but those are fun. If I read what kind of extra super abilities will be unlocked later on, I just don't hope it's gonna ruin the PvP's core gungame with some absurd fantasy crap. Keep that for the PvE.

Keep it well balanced and you have people like myself and my friends/clanmemebers from Socom (and some of them reaaaaally hate fantasy/futuristic stuff) and other tactical shooters jump ship to this game.

Facewall.



When a facepalm isn't enough.
 
There is also that fan on top of one the cabins? That makes you jump really high

There's also a dead Ghost. If you are facing the place where Iron Banner opens up and you are staring at the special items/mail vendor. Jump up and to the left, there's a balcony there with the dead Ghost and a switch for the fans.
 
They should also implement a supers only match.

My initial response was how dumb an idea this sounded, since Supers are already ridiculously powerful and it would mess up the flow and put Hunters at a disadvantage. Then I thought about it some more, and Hunters could basically snipe you across the map with Golden Gun and whatever else, and it actually sounds kind of fun.
 
OK, but, "money." This isn't the first game to do this, either. Even on the Xbox side of things there will soon be Evolve with its money hat content and beta too. Look, all I'm saying is this shit has gone on forever, and its not looking to change any time soon unfortunately. You have a completely valid stance on it and I think you should definitely complain, but at least focus those complaints towards ears that matter.

Well it should stop is what I'm saying. I don't care about Evolve, or any other game that does or has done something similar, because I'm talking about Bungie and Destiny - that game specifically. I own Wii U, Xbox, PS, PC, etc, etc. I don't choose allegiances with platforms because of some sportsteam-like loyalist mentality. I go for the games, and the social experiences. Marketing gimmicks like this do no one any good. There are better ways to strike deals and make money that doesn't poo all over your fans that are willing to come along for the 10-year long ride.

I don't buy the defeatist attitude of assuming it won't change any time soon. Bungie people do read forums, they've always been heavily active in their communities and have been quick to respond and adapt to them, too. If enough people complain, maybe Bungie will think twice about making these kinds of deals with their publishing partners in the future? I also don't buy the idea that the only way a publisher will see reason is through boycotting the product entirely. They wouldn't do QA or surveys at all if that were the case. Activision already has a better system in place with CoD. Release DLC 1 month "early" on one platform, and then release it for the rest. Sure it sucks getting it a few weeks later, but at least you still get the same content for the same price, and not "85%" of it (no clue how much it really is at this point). A year wait is eternity in these kinds of games, imo.

Yep I found that one on the alpha, iirc there's one more though I can't remember the exact location
 
PVP should be 32 vs 32 not this 6 vs 6 last gen crap.

I thought we were past this idiotic blanket response to numbers on a spreadsheet. The game seems hectic enough as is. This is small arenas, not Battlefield's vast open spaces. If you want that go play Planetside I guess. It's not comparable. It's almost like playing couples tennis and demanding that we get at least 2 more people per side.
 
My bad, everyone can revive, but warlocks have some kind of healing ability don't they?

yeah i beleive so, apparently as pointed out above there is "fireborn" that revives yourself. I thought you meant reviving other players, which yeah is already part of the game.

It just says yourself for now. Maybe there's another special that's allows for teammate revival.

but that would be a bit reduntant and pointless, since anyone can already do that, at least in PVE. unless it is some automatic/proximity teammate revival. Still a bit redundant though.
 
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

Hunters >>>>

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...

To the vast majority of my friends that play, most didn't care about any price, spec, or marketing differences. Just that Xbox is Xbox and PS is not Xbox. That was enough for them to make their decision on which to buy, a lot of people I know just wanted what they were familiar with. I've had a PS3 for 4 years and still have 0 friends on my friend list. In my social group, people buy Xbox. That has never really bothered me because the games I play on PS are single player. Now Destiny has this poo deal going on, and it's messing up EVERYTHING OK!? :p

Personally, I just get all of them eventually, because I enjoy games from each platform. In an ideal world, everything would just release on PC and be done with it, but that's not happening any time soon, either.

It's one thing to have guns and emblems or whatever, like retailer bonuses. But maps and other playable content? That's just too far, to me.
 
Even if you got a download code and downloaded the application, the servers are offline. All versions of the game use the same servers which are required to play.

I'm realizing that part of the reason we don't have save data across Microsoft and Sony is because of the exclusive content. It's a shame I can't load up my Guardian with PSN exclusive shit and then jump over to the Xbox One.

Well, that shouldn't break things. It could easily be remedied by either giving you a message to equip something else, OR equipping something else for you by default, sort of the way maps become disabled in CoD when somebody in the clan you're playing with hasn't purchased them.
