That took me four tries. My first two we didn't get past the first wave. My third I lagged out. Fourth I rolled with two titans (myself a warlock) and we completed it with only a few deaths, no restarts. One of the most satisfying victories I've had in a multiplayer game.
Auto for PvP, both for PvE.

green arrow like icon on the earth map, it's an open world 'mission'
Explored around in bed on my Vita last night. Worked wonderfully. Amazing that a network-intensive game such as this works so perfectly over remote play. There are some functions within the UI that are not useable on Vita yet but hopefully that is just because of the beta. Seems the stutter bug has been completely fixed because the framerate was a smooth 30fps last night. Anyone else agree about the stutter being gone?

Er, so I pre-ordered this and got my three codes. Gave two away and downloaded mine... to a flash drive. Load up the beta and I'm told the game doesn't run from am external drive (GG! on telling me that after the DL). So I delete it from the flash drive and go to re-download it to my HD... and there's no evidence of it in the 'my games' section. How to I re-download? Halp Gaf.

I was the very same when I started it after so many years of PC gaming. Couldnt hit anyone.
Ive gotten much better at it over the last few days.
And im the guy that kills you guys
Some people rush to it blindly and are easy kills
I do this too all the time! I find it quite heavy how people don't seem to go for the special ammo. I tend to get loads of kills with it.

I think the shame in dying out in the open would be enough (it deters me).
Haha I do too. I was always surprised that no one on my team ever went for it. Machine guns destroy.
Standard PvP normalizes weapon damage.
Your equipment level, damage, etc. only matters in Iron Banner PvP.
I thought this at first. But then slowly started to learn how to play it and found it really enjoyable. Stick with it, it gets easier when you learn to use the radar and how to avoid special weapons/vehicles.

THE PvP is level and damage balanced. Only things that really matter are you weapons rate of fire and reload speeds as far as I know
Iron banner is where things change

Same. Getting the heavy ammo is pretty much the same as getting super charged in my opinion. The Rocket Launcher can be devastating.

I would say give it some time, are you level 8 yet?
I know for a firm fact, that I'm doing FAR better now that I'm L8 with some more skills under the belt.

I really hope we can check our stats and grimoires in-game in the final game and not being forced to use a website or an app.

I was drooling over that ship from the very beginning. Finally got the gray with yellow accents version.
Anyone feel the uncommon drops are better post maintenance? I'm starting to get a better variety of drops, and not just the same pulse rifle over and over again.
PvP with my warlock, I was lucky to have a 0.5 KD ratio prior to lvl 8. After that I was racking up multikills from my upgraded grenade and often killing two-to-three people before needing to reload. My last match I was something like 15 KD ratio. I should qualify this by admitting that I am pretty terrible at PvP in this game and I could plainly see that my increased ratio was not due to skill at all.
It reminds me a lot of WoW PvP in this respect. I hope it will be segmented in the same manner (lower levels and those with less upgrades are segregated from more powerful players). Either way I think it's a lot of fun, though I am favoring PvE a lot more.

I've got some major Ship envy happening over here.

Looks sweet. I still cannot figure out the reason for upgrading ships. I've also seen the level 15 one and wondered what the point would be. I'm guessing they'll give some kind of advantage in the full game.
I'm saving up all my glimmer for the last day of the Beta in case anything extra special becomes available for a limited time.

I dunno dude... the classes are pretty balanced, all the supers are devastating when used right, and I reckon the other classes grenades are just as good, if not more useful.
I think you may be better than you think you are - 15 K/D is nothing to be squeaked at IMO.
It takes forever. Such a grind. Felt good to beat but not that fun.
you're making us look bad netcode GOD DAMN IT.
They require level 20. Beta's cap is level 8. Sorry, you gonna have to wait till the full game's release.
I feel the Titan will be uber once you get some of the later powers. We're stuck at the bottom.
Supers don't even do all that much damage to it's exposed parts imo. I've always been thoroughly unimpressed by the damage output of the Golden Gun against the Walker and the strike boss.
3 shots from a sniper rifle to the weak area of a walker is upwards of 3700 damage. In my experience, Supers are best kept to personnel.
Yes. You'll get two green items for each completed run.

As rad as the above jumpship is, OG ship is easily the best. Such an awesome and iconic design. Laaaaaaaaaahve it.

Should I try the warlock?
Yes, join the dark side!
really ? because im getting one or two shotted every know and then and when im not someone is shooting me with a charged shot or a nova bomb
kill times are ridicilous as far as i can tell almost cod level
nova bomb is a guaranteed 1+ kill anyways is there a mode where abilities are not allowed ?
this game is not designed around mp at all.

I've had fun with Destiny but I'll be stopping now that I know enough. I don't want to waste time levelling up only to lose the progress if I buy the full game. I'd actually be more inclined to buy the full game if my progress carried over and trophies synced straight away.
