The Tower should have a VR esque training room inside of it too. A place to try out your weaponry, practice different techniques, etc.

Like MGS : VR missions

I like the idea of a training room. I like even more, the idea of a target dummy in there somewhere with infinite health (think wow target dummies) so you can test builds/specs.

that's what what happens when pressing R3? i dont understand your response.

i swear I remember seeing join fireteam from the inspect menu. Or do you mean, when you do select join fireteam it loads the whole joining orbit cinematic and reloads the world? instead of just switching you to the team seamlessly without loading anything?

If you are out exploring and go into a person's profile to invite them to a fireteam, or you are invited by them, you or they will be pulled out of the game, put into Orbit, and then fly back, with a ton of pointless loading.

Yeah thats what I was thinking.

Weapons are so different in all ways. Different scope styles, different handling / recoil, different reload speeds. I have to go out onto Earth surface to try out a different weapon.

Would be convenient just to head into a training room and go up against waves of enemies coming at you to try out your new gear in combat scenarios.

Yes please, I hate decrypting a new weapon and then having to go to orbit and then an explore instance just to test it.

ok yeah thats what i figured they meant, yeah seems very pointless. their orginal comment sort of implied that you just couldnt join them at all, or there wasnt an option. so i was confused.

can you not join them from the options menu, or inspecting their character when the R3 button pops up? Or maybe because their fireteam was already full?

If you are looking at someone and you click the right stick and then push the options button I think you can choose to invite to or join a fireteam that way.

No, that's what happens when you use the R3 menu
It's weird

What he said.

Inviting or joining the fireteam isn't the problem, but when you join the team through R3, it takes you back to orbit and reloads the map or something. I don't know if this is a bug or a limitation with the way matchmaking is designed.
 
Probity said:
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.

Hunters would be seriously OP in a supers only match. Assuming the supers were constantly ready to go, it'd end up being hunters only matches eventually.

Ohhhh i see. Then yes they should fix that.

I can't wait until I unlocked those Hunter laser tripmine grenades.

That reminds me, are you able to unlock the 3rd tier of skills in the skill trees in the beta? I feel like they are stuck now. Combustion for the Golden Gun was at about 5 o'clock and the triple jump was at like 6 or 7 o'clock, and they'd been there for quite some time now. The trip mine grenade are much further along, like 9 o'clock I think, but that seems to be stuck around there as well.
 
majik13 said:
yeah kinda torn on that, would love if you could some how have both. Seems trip mines would only be useful when guarding an area from a wave of enemies. Wonder how they will work in an open area as well with no walls.
Click to expand...

Just throw it normal in between enemies, I'm sure they will run over it. Those nades though will be killer for multiplayer.
 
So um.. when is this beta actually online? Downloaded today and got welcomed with a "beta is offlline" screen, is it one of those "1 day a month" betas?

edit nevermind, should have checked the OT
 
I wonder if you can still download the 12Gigs part now that the beta is offline... I have a code for my brother (ps4)

How many hours till the servers get back online?
Thanks :)

I've always avoided melee on R3 because I tend to press that thumb stick down in the midst of combat.
Click to expand...

I was going to say the exact same thing. Plus, I just like having melee on an actual button.

I kept my controls on default and the layout feels pretty much perfect to me.
 
While we're all waiting for the grand return, I wanted to share this again for those who may not have seen it.

Ran into a pretty hilarious glitch when fighting the Devil Archon on the first day of the Destiny Beta.

It was quite obvious he wanted one thing, and one thing only... A fierce DANCE-OFF! Who will be victorious??

Here's the link. Make sure to turn the volume up!

So will ships do anything or just cut scene cosmetics? No exploration mode? Free space flight mode?
Click to expand...

I bet there will be a space combat mode some point in the future. Reach would have been a decent test-bed for that :)

I really hope they do it, anyway. For now, it's just cut scene cosmetics.
