Boosh.

Love the Titan, even if his super seems like the quickest and most efficient way to commit suicide when fighting tougher enemies. Nothing more demoralizing than pulling a ground clearing room only to see all your targets still walking, and bringing the one-hit-sword of doom down upon your skull.

That has happened a few too many times and now, even though armored to the hilt, I'm a lot more hesitant to use it on anything besides groups of regular fodder. No go for anything that could potentially one-shot me.

Ahoy!

Interesting on the ability front. Not unlocked it yet but something i will think on as i attempt to stomp everything into paste.
 
I just hit level 15. Is it better to wait until you are level 20 to start your sub class? Or does it not matter when? Kind of sucks, because I really want my triple jump. So I feel like I should keep leveling up my main class before jumping over to the other one. But then again, once you switch to the sub class, you would lose that triple jump anyways, as abilities don't carry over, right?

Im going to tell u right now that triple jump is nearly pointless. you almost reach the SAME height with the double jump + the "control" enhancement. Not to mention with triple jump you lose the control enhancement & cant really have that amazing level of control of movement while in the air.

Basically its this:

Double jump is kinda high,

Double jump + control enhancement is really high,

Triple jump is pretty much the same height as the above, only you lose the air direction control :|

Double jump + The SUPER double jump is actually the highest jump but again you dont get the control enhancement at the same time.
 
Wtf is up with Those cards. Really they want to force people to the website to opt into wanting to understand what is going on? Really don't get it
 
So what's the best faction for a level 20 warlock? I forgot which one it was, and it's buried in this thread.
That's actually gonna depend on your Subclass and playstyle I think, not an out-and-out best.
Rumble pit is just so damn fun. This game shines with it. The maps are perfect.
Some of them really do feel quite good. Deceptively well-designed.

How many pvp maps are there total?

I think Bungie played too much Dark Souls and they wanted players to work for information and lore.
 
As a warlock player, no, no its not.

I've lost count the number of times in control I've wiped out an entire team sitting on control point without them ever knowing I was there.
Exactly. As a Titan we at least have to get ourselves within range and put our precious bodily fluids at risk.

Warlocks can sidelong toss a ball of nuclear death and do a twirl mid-air before getting back into action somewhere else, and Hunters can ding their targets from 10 miles away like some kind of magical golden gun apache attack copter in stealth mode.

Titans bring it.
 
Then they got the wrong idea because all Dark Souls lore is found inside the game, not in some app/website companion piece.
It's more in the line with what happened with halo 4. So much info is all in the books. You had to watch the terminals on the website. Bla!

I have not really checked out the cards, are they just cards with information about people, places items etc?
I suggest reading them if you want lore info.

Yeah but when the thread moves so quickly, its pretty hard to find people on a similar mission/same level as you.

I know its not impossible, but its much more hassle than it should be.

It's a self post so there is no precious precious karma for me.

It could be the push this extremely useful site needs to really become popular and help out Gurrry and countless others who are looking for specific fireteams.

Some (like the place cards) also have small mini-goals/benefits:

So the story missions with the star and the laurels are basically the "main" story as in the one with cutscenes that furthers the "overall" story of your guardian/the darkness along.

And the story missions with just the little stars are basically sidemissions that are "just another day in a Guardians life".

Ok, got it.

Ummmmm did you ever hear about Bladedancer? I get more in your face then Titans do.

Yeah, that's definitely it. The sidemissions are fun to replay, IMO. The pacing is good. The main ones would be too except the unskippable cutscenes which absofuckinglutely inexplicable in a game that encourages you to repeat content as much as this.
 
Got this the other night, it takes a long time to get the required experience to get the upgrades on legendary pieces it seems, i did about 4-5 lvl 24 strikes last night and got minimal movement into the first upgrade (and maxed out all upgrades on the rare gear I had equipped)

How do I download the vanguard armory again? It failed to install the first time.
If I may, unless you're OCD about stuff, just don't worry about it. It's very very very very close to completely worthless.

edit:
ahhh new page

They've got info on characters reacting to what you've done (like some of the vanguard talking to you about what you've just done in the story card sections), info on the races and enemy types, stories from different guardians that you get from ghost fragments (I think).

There is some legit cool stuff there but I wish it was more in game. Like, we get some stuff on our weapons and armour and stuff and that's cool but I would have liked more from NPCs or just direct in game access to this stuff. Like, we have this Ghost, he's a little companion who is kinda computer mixed with space magic. He seems smart and knows what's up. Why can't the gameplay conceit for us getting grimoire cards be that it's info stored in the Ghost and he's relaying it back to us? If they didn't want to pay for more Dinklebot lines just have it be text only like the cards are now just accessed from a "Ghost Menu" or something.

That pissed me off with Halo 4. I'm not hugely into Halo lore and stuff. I enjoy the games, like watching the live action stuff (adverts, Forward unto Dawn etc) and I enjoy the stories told in the games and then we get to Halo 4 and every piece of important information is outside the game, either in terminals you have to find/unlock and read outside of the game or in the books. You find this guy and automatically know he's a bad guy, who he is, his rank, everything without even finding out in game and from the MC perspective there is no way he or Cortana should know (well, maybe Cortana. I can't remember if she interfaced with anything before he hatches).

This. Only Titans know how big a risk it is to get that close when the cross hairs are already aimed at you more often than not.

Those on the receiving end will always find something to complain about. The truth is, every super has pros and cons.

Well the story was shite. Great universe and you get more story with the grimoire cards but shit man that should have been in cutscenes etc

I think if there were more bookend cutscenes (skippable once the level/mission has been completed) to the story missions and just more interaction with NPCs it would have went a long ways in improving it.

To say the Destiny universe is in need of being fleshed out "in-game" is beyond an understatement.

Still, having a good time but was really looking for more story-wise. Hope this is just the beginning...
 
Got my upvote.
Thank you! It is millimeters away from the front page guys. And look, listings! :D :D :D

everyone thinks everyone else is OP XD I'm starting to lean toward "pretty damn well-balanced" even with the complaints about level disparity
 
So I figured out an easy way to bug out the AI. For the melee enemies, atleast.

Step 1-Figure out their tether. Yes, most enemies in this game are tethered to a location. Once you go out of bounds, they cannot reach you. Doubly hilarious for melee enemies, because they just sit there playing hide and seek.

Step 2-Throw a DoT grenade when they try to rush you for an attack(Before backing off to their tethered location) right behind them.

Step 3-Stare at them or just shoot them in the face.

Proof of concept^
 
100 marks a week, the circle around the crucible/vanguard options in the menu shows your cap progress.

That's a pretty retarded gating design.

Oh, btw, what's vanguard marks used for except in the vanguard vendor? Seems like everything uses crucible instead, which makes Vanguard marks useless.

This… this is obscene. I think I have to stay the hell away from iron banner for a month.
 
My fireteam is dominating in Skirmish so hard we've made two people quit out of the last three matches. Gives us time to look at the gorgeous skyboxes, lol.
 
So my 2 cents thrown into this massive thread:

I'm tired of Russia after the Alpha and Beta, but I want to play more and get beyond the Moon. I'm not excited about starting character 2 or 3 though...

I have yet to Crucible (aside from Alpha and Beta), but I really really want to.

As a MUCH bigger fan of Marathon than Halo, I prefer the lightweight, non-direct story telling here. Gives it more of a mysterious vibe, than the beat you over the head Halo stuff.

My biggest complaint is that I don't have enough time to play it more.
