Ugh i'm sick of fighting the devil walker in the devil's lair. 3 supers when the neck is exposed should just be enough to kill it. It's such a boring enemy to fight.

I tried to Hulk smah it the first time and boy, what a mistake that was!
I couldn't outrun the walker's electric aoe since I didn't know about it!

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 and many others are doing quite well. No there isn't any mode with supers off.
Don't want to make the game easier for you - learn, adapt, loot and buy engrams from Cryptarch. Check your minimap and anticipiate the enemy in PvP.

Good luck.

Played PVP last night only to get the moon map 10 times in a row. The fucking interceptor...what are you doing to me, Bungie? I got so mad at them that I decided to go on a personal vendetta against vehicles and turrets and ignore the control points. I still got killed a shitload by them

 

[SeanR1221]

What's the point of level 10 loot? To taunt you? :/

 

[Marvel]

Speaking of Ships... this was DGAF just yesterday.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Where is the best place to get good weapons/armor? The strike mission (Devil's Lair)?

I get probably 5-6 drops or more for most runs with the final story mission kicked up to the lv. 8 version. Several being of the uncommon variety.

What's the point of level 10 loot? To taunt you? :/

Yup. To show you what you will be missing out on if you dare fail to purchase the final product. If lv. 10 stuff hurts to see, don't go to The Speaker in Tower North and view his class specific gear. It only brings pain.

 

[SgtCobra]

They require level 20. Beta's cap is level 8. Sorry, you gonna have to wait till the full game's release.

20? Nice teasing Bungie. I'm still stuck with that boring red armor, I guess that's pretty much it as far as armor goes.

I feel the Titan will be uber once you get some of the later powers. We're stuck at the bottom.

I hope so, the Titan class needs more love. So far it just looks like an ordinary space marine.

 

[Zakalwe]

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

It looks pretty generic to me, plus bad.

The rest look quite genric too, but good.

 

[AngerdX]

Anyway to start the strike solo?

 

[Nyteshade517]

So, I tried the Titan in the alpha. In the first days of the beta I tried the Hunter.

Both are good.

Should I try the warlock?

You should

DAMN GAF 6 Man PS4 Crucible Crew WRECKS Shit, LAWL

Fucking Massacre!

I only got 8 kills, GAF was getting Kills left and right lol

Lol representing in dead last *sigh* haha

They fire way too fast, they're never vulnerable.

If you play as a Hunter you can take them down with the special with one shot. Or if you use the rocket launcher as your heavy. Sniping out the driver also works.

I guess they "fit" into the PvP though, as the whole thing is unbalanced as hell

 

[Nyteshade517]

I would be in dead-er last

 

[red731]

Speaking of Ships... this was DGAF just yesterday.

I need to up my ship game when I get home!

 

[Hoo-doo]

Let's all point and laugh at this peasant and his junkyard ship.

Come on, son. It's held together with ducttape and bubble gum. Live a little.

Speaking of Ships... this was DGAF just yesterday.

Yeah I see you in the back there, with your ol' scrapper.

 

[JaggedSac]

The game is a "meh" from me. That is coming from a dude whose friends mostly don't game anymore. Lack of matchmaking for campaign missions sucks because the missions are not interesting enough for me to do by myself. I was told I could do some sort of public thing for getting people in, but I couldn't see what the heck people were talking about. PvP was a huge disappointment for me, especially since this is coming from Bungie. :'(

 

[Gowans]

When you start playing there's a character selection screen with new character option.

I'll have to keep a better eye out, couldn't see it at all.

 

[Marvel]

I need to up my ship game when I get home!

You must!

 

[Ikkarus]

Some people got the Cryptarch to level 10, and they're getting Legendary Engrams like it's nothing apparently

How do you rank up your Cryptarch level? By taking things to him?

 

[Zakalwe]

this game is not designed around mp at all.

It's fine imo. Supers will get an instant kill every now an then, but you have them too.

I honeslty haven't noticed an issue with them

Played PVP last night only to get the moon map 10 times in a row. The fucking interceptor...what are you doing to me, Bungie? I got so mad at them that I decided to go on a personal vendetta against vehicles and turrets and ignore the control points. I still got killed a shitload by them

Use turrets, they shred all vehicles.

Use the tunnels and and move across the buildings instead of runing out in the open.

If you have to move in the open, call your bike.

 

[slash3584]

So are the ships purely cosmetic? Do they have any other function?

 

[Nyteshade517]

that and buying Engrams from him

 

[everyday math]

Cosmetic only

 

[Marvel]

Yip, levels up a little each time you do that.

 

[mickcenary]

The rest look quite genric too, but good.

Agree to disagree, mang. I love that it doesn't shy away from curvature and roundness; it has a really fun, yet elegant retro-ness to it. The other ones look a bit too angry-sharp-generic-starfighter-PEWPEWPEW!

Dumb question about loot, Gaf: when does it drop? I've been conditioned to think that it should drop after bosses and big baddies, but it seems largely random on my end.

 

[DY_nasty]

I'm really not understanding the interceptor fear...

Every super wrecks it immediately, the booster for it worse than the Wraith, its amazingly exposed on the sides and rear, it fires slow as hell and its arc is difficult to manage whenever someone is moving directly at you

the map has tunnels all over the place, two turrets that eat it in seconds, sightlines for days on the edges...

i don't get it. i have more trouble making the jump behind B on Venus

 

[Ikkarus]

that and buying Engrams from him

Ah ok. It will be great when you can start unlocking legendary stuff from him.

 

[Poodlestrike]

So are the ships purely cosmetic? Do they have any other function?

Purely cosmetic, for now at least. I'm hoping they add some sort of space combat post launch.

 

[MistaPropella]

I wonder if my clan tag will show up today.



MP guy has grown on me. Took a while though.

I hope so, too

 

[death4romabove22]

that and buying Engrams from him

How do you bring items to him to boost the only option I've seen was to purchase ?

 

[Namikaze1]

Yeah, I upgraded that junkyard ship to a Regulus Class 99. I can't be seen traveling in that piece of crap excuse of a ship!

 

[Zakalwe]

Agree to disagree, mang. I love that it doesn't shy away from curvature and roundness; it has a really fun, yet elegant retro-ness to it. The other ones look a bit too angry-sharp-generic-starfighter-PEWPEWPEW!

So Star wars and the countless star wars inspired designs? Both are generic, depends which generic design you prefer.

Dumb question about loot, Gaf: when does it drop? I've been conditioned to think that it should drop after bosses and big baddies, but it seems largely random on my end.

Loot drops from random mobs.

You can find loot in chests.

Bosses don't drop directly in strikes, instead you're rewarded at the end of the run.

 

[Cynn]

So are the ships purely cosmetic? Do they have any other function?

I'm really hoping we get to fight in ships at some point. It could be like the chapter in Halo Reach and I'd be happy.

 

[slash3584]

Yeah that would be sweet.

 

[Flintty]

Wow this thread was on 130 pages when I started playing the beta last night!

I got my Warlock to level 8. First impressions: I love it! It feels so solid and looks amazing. The living world works really well, I love seeing people around and the events are superb. It kind of feels like Halo but not - in a really really good way. I love the weapon upgrades etc (I just upgraded my sniper rifle to have a chance of refilling ammo when I miss my shot!) and the character customisation is sweet. One thing I'd like to see though is red skin on the Awoken and some more hairstyles later on (with the ability to change style in game).

Seeing the Bungie logo at the start, it was really weird to not see it followed with a Halo logo - almost sad (it has been a long and wonderful association) but knowing how awesome Destiny is going to be is a real comfort.

Cannot wait for launch!

 

[AmaterasuOni]

So are the ships purely cosmetic? Do they have any other function?

We don't know yet. I doubt they're just cosmetic because why they have such a variety of them?

 

[Nyteshade517]

Enemies drop Encrypted Engrams as loot...take those to the Cryptarch

 

[red731]

You decode "engrams" you found while playing (green cube-y diamonds) and buy encoded engrams directly from him.

We don't know yet. I doubt they're just cosmetic because why they have such a variety of them?

Well, you are travellling often to Tower, back to orbit, to planets, so you see your ship quite often.

Random yeh.

Higher chance from killing the Elites and such of course, but it seems mostly random to me.

FYI I have yet to get an uncommon / rare drop from any of the main Strike bosses. They are all coming from the named Elite mobs and such you fight leading up to them.

Open up your game to Everyone. It defaults to Friends only.

I think the PVP is rad at least for Control. I'm not a fan of the deathmatch tho.

 

[Marvel]

Anyone have upgradeable boots equipped? they have never dropped for me and it's irritating not having it all not match, lol.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

How do you bring items to him to boost the only option I've seen was to purchase ?

It's any engrams you pick up in the field. When you take it to him to decode, your rank goes up.

 

[radyboysmith]

i still cant find xbox 360 vs ps4 comparison


any one got a link for it

Doing the harder Strike should always give you loot at the end for your lvl. Always uncommon

Nope. Not sure why.

 

[Karl Hawk]

We don't know yet. I doubt they're just cosmetic because why they have such a variety of them?

They just serve as loading screens for matchmaking and cutscenes when you get into other destinations.

Besides, the OG ship looks crappy. Why would you want to live with that when you have enough glimmer to buy a new ship that looks better?

 

[Nyteshade517]

All of the Uncommon boots I have had so far had no upgrades on them

Damn! I need to get me a new ship...

If you pause and go to roster (on the left by pressing L1) you can choose to make your fire-team "public" meaning anyone can join you on missions etc.

By default it's set to friends only.

 

[Marvel]

Damn... probably not in this Beta then. Rats.

Bosses don't drop directly in stirkes, you're rewarded at the end of the run.

Sure. Alls I'm saying is that for me, it has a certain je ne sais quoi that speaks to me and fits the game's tone perfectly. The others seem more like mere skins. OG looks birthed by Destiny.

And thanks for the reply!

 

[OG Loc]

Played my first event where I had to disable these three drills I think. Played it with some random guy and I have to say I had the time of my life. This game offically has its hooks in me.
