1) Staring at a giant gun model, at the cost of seeing what's going on in front of me, is something I strongly dislike. Halo had what I called "combat clarity", where being able to see action and receive visual feedback clearly was a key design philosophy. This informed many aspects of that series, from scoping to grass height to weapon effects and damage indicators (no raspberry jam). For half the kills in Destiny I'm looking for numbers to pop up to confirm them because the gun model hinders the visual feedback. I think it's genuinely bad game design.
2) I like fluid game play. Having to choose between movement and accuracy is just awful, IMO. It's really jarring in Destiny going from nice, floaty movement, big double jumps, sprinting along...and then you turn into a nearly stationary turret for the privilege of aiming straight when an enemy appears. It also greatly limits how dynamic the encounters can be (can't dodge and return fire at once, can't jump and shoot...) The gap between how fluid Halo's combat was compared to Destiny is enormous for this reason.
Destiny is one of the first games I've owned to use ADS. It's probably my single most hated gameplay mechanic in gaming right now, and what kept me from buying other shooters last gen. I really can't over state my dislike. That I find the game fun despite there being ADS is a borderline miracle.
am starting to agree with this. i've always disliked ADS too but i was fine with destiny's at first. now i'm starting to wish the game was third person. we'd still have that frantic combat and mobility but without the bigass gun and accuracy penalties.
would have liked to see a prototype at least.
where do you get this? I'm lvl 21 and can't find a good pulse rifle
do you already have 2 other people to play with? I'm looking for someone to do the weekly with

Didn't like the Shingen C honestly, using a slower firing auto rifle.
Hahah -Handclap- . I love bein a Titan man....Super 2 is so much better than 1. Especially on Control. Put that Shield up on B flag on the Mars map with the indoor B flag...grab a shotty.....profit.
No one uses Super 2 but me it seems....

That's accurate.

ludicrous...
Yeah and then another and then another. If I had to guess a headshot does maybe 90% of shield/health. Getting 1 is skill, 2 is a lucky coincidence unless the person has no idea where you are.

Are you using the CYDONIA with the slower fire-rate but higher dmg upgrade?

the shared world aspect of the game finally clicked for me earlier and it made me wish this was a full blown MMO. it was one of the story missions on venus
. the way we moved around the fields and then raced off on our sparrows felt natural and was one of the few times i understood the hook Bungie was going for. But then we entered a new region and they disappeared and i was alone again.
lame.
after visiting the reef. we had to destroy this Vex eyeball turret thing before heading to the research facility to scan something (again). anyway, i thought ishtar cliffs was a private space since i was doing an enemy specific story mission, so i was surprised to see a fireteam across the cliffs also shooting at it with me.
lame.
person? i was talking about pve
but they are solid in pvp too. good matches tonight dgaf

Ugh, I want to change my appearance now to match the armor I want. Is there an option?

yeah, but they have all the superduper bladedancer abilities and such that can reck 5 people on a flag in an instant. And some supershotguns seem to kill in one shot and have huge magazines and reload speeds that i just cant compete against.
indeed :/ i'm playing to get some of those early assignments "win 3 matches pvp" and such, and will ragequit if i have to play against a team full of 20's

You talking about the strike mission? That was freaking crazy. Me and my party went there under leveled and under equipped, and got wrecked. Went back to finish after we leveled up more and got decent gear. Easily the most fun strike I've done so far.

Now try it on heroic
Why do people praise this rifle so much? Its Impact stat is laughable, IMO.

$500 Mill went towards boot colors.
PvP I agree, but for pure damage sake I use it in PvE. Unless I'm misunderstanding what the impact does.
Full auto pulse rifle? Fuck I need that.
I actually found one with that perk. I found it perplexing(Why would I want full auto from a weapon that's supposed to be burst fire?) so I just stuffed it in my vault.
Triple play trophy? For whatever reason I think it has to be in quick succession. If it's true the description is wrong.

Yeah any AR is good as long as it has some impact on it. DO NOT try the SAHARA-AR, though. It has no impact.
Lol, no thank you!
Have you tried it in PvP? People go down super fast with that gun.

I had three or four achievement notifications pop up when I logged in this morning, hah. They're kinda buggy.Apparently I did get the Triple Play..it just didn't pop up.

To be clear, in PVP, it doesn't matter how much damage your weapon does? Like a 90 overall doesn't give you an advantage?
Yes attack rating is normalized. Only the stat bars and upgrades matter.

They come up as random rewards from the Dust Palace strike.
Don't revive people! Let them respawn on their own and hide until they do....just keep one alive. Also...don't shoot his head...shoot under it, his weak point is the colored area of his chest. I beat it at level 16 with two randoms, then today with my two buddies (20, 17 & 13). Lastly there is a gold chest on the small platform toward the open area. Do work!

Thank you
Likewise, your defense rating doesn't matter in PvP.

They don't get better. It's so tedious and boring. Fighting hordes with boosted difficulty / special attributes is wayyyyy more fun.

And we died... Took us 20mins to get him less then half way
I'm assuming that's a Mars level? Also, is their status known (common, umcommon, rare, defense levels)?

Enjoying this with friends so damn much right now.
The only major thing that's nagging my brain about this game so far is probably the most popular issue (and nah it isn't the story), it's the lack of communication between people that aren't your bros. I mean shit, even if Bungie wanted to stick to their guns and leave voice chat out of the Tower at least implement chat presets like they have in friggin' Mario Kart 8. Some simple "heys", "goodbyes", and a "Would you like to join my fireteam?" or a "Looking for group for Strike", or I don't know, ANYTHING LIKE THAT. That would be a good middle ground for me as I'm sure it would be for others as well. As of now it's a circus trying to form groups with strangers in a game that requires companionship to make the most of it.
Other than that like I said, I'm really enjoying this game. The gunplay feels good coupled with class abilities and as I'm getting closer to 20 my loot frequency seems like it's ramping up. I've been acquiring a lot more greens/blues lately.
The PvP has been hit or miss with me, mostly hit. It seems unbalanced at times but ehh, that guy just killed you with his super? Well you have one too so fuck em up.

I did this earlier today with 2 randoms. I was 11 and they were both 12. I died 18 times, but we managed to kill the ogre because somehow, the others stopped spawning
Fuck, I am just so disappointed in this game. I guess the hype got to me a little bit.
For PVE there is only one mission. Every single mission in the game is nearly identical with little variation aside from generic, albeit great looking settings (jungle, desert, etc.). Every boss fight is just fucking terrible. It's giant, slow moving enemy that has a long range attack with splash damage. If you get close if shoots out a shockwave. Additional enemies will pour in at certain enemies. Every single fucking boss. "The real game starts at 20!" It's just the same strikes with the boss' health inflated even more so now you spend 10 minutes peeking out to shoot a braindead bullet sponge instead of 5.
For PVP, the balance is just garbage. The specials and heavy weapons are instant kills that you cannot counter or anticipate in most cases. It just feels cheap. There doesn't seem to be any team balancing at all. Every game is some ridiculous beatdown. I probably lost 12-15 straight games with 20 or more kills, higher than the kill count of the rest of the team combined, which is only 3 or 4 people by the end.
I honestly can't remember the last time I was this disappointed with a game. Maybe the SSX reboot? Not exactly great company.

Yeah, I've had some experience (mostly form beta) with large magazine - low impact auto rifles. Usually, it takes a lot of ammo for me to take someone down (unless I manage to hit head constantly). I prefer 22-25 bullers magazine with higher impact stat.
As far as I'm aware, Impact stat is damage per bullet, and that, next to the stability is the most important stat when it comes to auto rifles (at least for me).
