Is XBL unusually slow in downloading stuff today? I started the download probably 5 hours ago and it's still not done, has never been this slow.
 
My XB1 game at 94% had a message pop up saying that game data is corrupted and I need to delete/reinstall. I closed it out and reopened and it went up to 97 but has been stuck there for 15 minutes. Do I need to delete it and waste another 2 hours to DL this again?
 
Maybe I missed it...but surely with all this waiting for stabilized party stuff on the Xbox side right now, its prime for a Sony PS4 firmware joke about stability?
 
This game feels just like Halo. It feels slower than COD and TF for sure to me. Halo fans will love this game. Not sure about us COD/TF guys. I like it so far. Not loving it.

No. Let it finish.
 
Yeah, you're on the money there. Auto Rifle and Shotguns in PvP are just the killer combo.

Specifically that high ROF auto rifle, whatever it's called, just seems to melt you from pretty much everything but extreme distances. The PVP top players are pretty much always auto riflers. So yeah, this probably needs to be rebalanced.
 
This needs to change. If you are playing a Story mission and disconnect, it shouldn't boot you from the mission. I can't finish a simple story mission due to this. There's no valid reason to impede your progress like this for story missions.

It has that Halo level of polish but the gameplay doesn't really feel like Halo at all. I really like the gameplay of both Destiny and (Bungie's) Halo, but for very different reasons.
 
damn dude, was downloading about 10 percent for every 20 minutes

download got stuck an hour ago and I didnt notice, guess im not playing tonight, fucking hell man
 
Losing ammo when switching from a shotgun/sniper makes perfect sense, why do people want that changed? You shouldn't be able to swap them on the fly, live with your choice for that spawn.
 
How do you PvP? I talked to the Crucible people and did not see the option. I am level 4. Do I need to be higher?

Yep. You will get an introductory quest. Do more story missions, level up and then go to the tower.

Agreed - would get abused by people so much switching from fusion rifle to shotty too much in PVP.
 
So I played the PS4 up to level 3 or so while waiting for the XB1 client to finish downloading (only got the PS4 this week, so missed the earlier beta period), and just finished the intro section up to the point where you reach the Tower on XB1.

Is it just me, or do the controls feel way better on XB1? Maybe I need to go back and check with other classes (went for Titan on PS4, Hunter on XB1, so far), but I'm finding it way easier to hit headshots on XB1. Only option I've changed is to invert Y on both consoles.

So first message I got right after the first cutscene:



Anyone else get this message? (XB1 by the way)

Keep trying. I got in after 3-4 attempts. Thank god the cutscene is skippable after the first run-through...
 
I certainly like the co op and exploring of the game but the PvP is not clicking with me at all like a normal Bungie game.. something seems off. Will keep at it but.. just not having fun in that mode for some reason.

Game seems to be running very smooth on X1 from what I could tell.

Agree. There is no stutter in the Xbox One version. IMHO, I think they should use the extra resources and leave it at 900p and give it more aggressive AA solution. It plays very smooth, much smoother than the PS4 version, but aliasing is a little worse than the PS4 version.
 
Anybody notice that Bungie seems to be adding fire into the guardian fight? Seems like a couple of Hunter armor pieces have descriptions insulting Warlocks specifically. Did they expect these two to be #1 and #2 in popularity?


Also unrelated, but I hope we get more than the symbol out of shit that transfers into the full game.
 
Just played up to lvl4 on 360. Had only one issue before getting my ship where it reset me back to the beginning of the fight with no ammo, just had to knife everything which was fun.

Graphically and tech wise everything seems fine to me.
 
Quick question: does anyone know when the Iron Banners are coming back? Also, has anything else been announced for the next few days? Thanks!

Hehe
 
Get to level 8 and then keep running the strike on level 8 difficulty to max out your gear in preperation for the iron banner. Also, you can hunt for glimmer in explore mode and always play more pvp.

Another way I found to fast-track your gear leveling is by having the ones you want upgraded equipped when you turn in bounties. That XP gets dumped onto the gear as well and it almost always results in leveling up gear and unlocking one or more of their abilities depending on the XP reward. Some of those Vanguard bounties are easy peasy.
