yea 5 of us here totally ditched warhammer and went to infinity. much better game, much more interesting, cheaper, more fun to play, works much better with multiple people/teams.

Anyone want a Destiny Beta key for PS4? Bungie sent me 3 of them for some reason and I only need one.

Sure I'll take one.

Doubt I'll use it much but what the hell.

You're supposed to get extras, for friends.

 

[ClivePwned]

if you have one spare...

yes, I'm inconsistent.

actually scratch that, I'd need a US PSN one.

 

[Danoss]

Well if you visit up to Brisbane (also Danoss etc. anyone elese)
Let me know and happy to have you swing by for a day of tabletop and/or drinking....

I'm down for some of that, if I'm up there at some point. Same goes for you (and others) if you're in Sydney.

I should be setup to game at my place before too long. The table I'm building is 4'x4', which accommodates Warmahordes and Malifax, but I'm not sure how it'll go for Infinity. I assume since it's a skirmish game it's unlikely to require a large amount of space.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Lol wait nvm

You gotta pay cash money for PS+ to play multi on PS4

 

[reptilescorpio]

Pretty sure Fusebox is US PSN.

I've got 2 AU/EU/UK/Not US codes free for anyone who wants one on PS4.


I don't think all of the Destiny beta is locked from non-PS+ people. Half the Alpha was open.

 

[dishwasherlove]

You can play Destiny just Jo social features which is half the game.

Infinity is played on a 4x4 table but you need enough terrain to break up sight lines so you don't get shot off the table.

 

[Fusebox]

But Jambo I got no friends! None with PS4s anyway.


And I think these codes are from my US account. I'll PM one to TDM and one to Clive. If they work, enjoy. If not, no biggy.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Q: Do I need PS+ to play Destiny?

A: To get the most out of Destiny, it's recommended to have PS+, but you can still play the story missions and patrol. In order to participate in The Crucible (PvP) and strikes, you'll need PS+.

There you go Mutes, all good to go!

Pro tips.
- High terrain goes in the middle of the table
- Oversight terrain within 12" ie spawn is OP you may as well concede before game starts, hence point 1
- Lots of terrain is good basically litter the board with terrain and make sure there are no clear sight lines (ie. shooting corridors) from one side to another
- small terrain is nice, barrels, walls etc. half model height, gives a good feel for cover
- play games at 50 points to start, then play 100-150 point games, if you get into the higher teirs of running 100 point models (such as TAGS) go 200-300 point games.
- use the infinity wiki page often, it is filled with FAQ data and a whole lot of rules that seem a bit open to interpretation actually are not, they are just translated badly

 

[senahorse]

Just read about the collapse of the Yogcast game, this is why I only give kickstarter monies to people I trust, like Obsidian, and Gaz.

Well fuse, if you add Holycon to your friend's list, i will be a PS4 destiny friend.

 

[Quasar]

That raises a question. Can you play across regions? Or would I need a US Plus account to play multiplayer with US friends?

Half a million dollars down the drain. Why I don't back stuff on KS.

I think you just have to be smart about what you back.

The Yogcast one was a bunch of people with ZERO experience trying to make a half-million dollar video game.

 

[Kritz]

There you go Mutes, all good to go!

I don't know what all the words you used mean. Does not having PSN+ stop you from accessing all multiplayer content (that is, coop), or is there some MP stuff you still get access to without having to pay subscription?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

yes, I'm inconsistent.

Got one for you if you still want it.

AND I POSTED THIS YESTERDAY

Only the crucible (PvP), rest of the game doesn't require Ps+

No, you can play with anyone from anywhere. I've been playing with Gaffers from US and Japan all night.

 

[Kritz]

oh, neat. ... how long does the beta go for, because I sure as poop don't have the bandwidth to download it this month

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Beta ends 27th July. Maintenance downtime 21-22 july.

If you just want to play the story missions and do a bit of exploring, you can easily do that in 6-7 hours.

 

[ClivePwned]

You'd be surprised how many people who are developers have no idea how to run a team, a project or a business. They just assume they'd be good at it. Shit's hard, yo.

Kickstarter must have boosted sales of popcorn gifs.

Thanks for the code Fusebox. DLing now. Might as well check out free Strider while I'm at it.

AND I POSTED THIS YESTERDAY

Soz, Death. I must have missed that post. Ta anyway.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

No worries, still have one US PSN code if anyone needs it.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Yeah the US code didn't work oh well.

 

[ClivePwned]

Did you use SEN website or bungie.net?

9 digit code for bungie, 12 on SEN website. US code worked for me.

You are speaking gibberish.

I used the PSN store "redeem a code" section.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

You can't redeem a US code from an EU/AU account.

 

[pieatorium]

if theres any of those destiny AU/EU codes still going ill take please.

.

 

[Shaneus]

What's the deal with the codes? Or the beta? How is it different from the last one?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Last one was alpha.

 

[Omikron]

Last one was alpha.

For the sake of consumers. Yes. In reality it wasn't really.

 

[Shaneus]

Come on, you weren't doing anything else this weekend anyway:
Entire Frontline series now on Youtube

Thanks for the info guys. I know the terrain is quite dense compared to other games, but placement of different types, particularly the tall pieces, is good to know.

Scatter terrain will totally be used. It's functional, looks cool and helps bring the scene to life. I hope to mess about with mould-making so I can cast my own pieces in resin eventually.

 

[Shaneus]

Firstly: Your OG Xbox game collection is nothing compared to this one.
Secondly: OlliOlli is coming to Steam! Sign me up, motherfuckers.

You guys still need PAL codes for a UK/AU/etc PSN account?

What was the order for the Euro/PAL Destiny Beta PS4 Keys because I have 2 spare to give away to Ausgaf, can I use spoiler tags to stop lurkers grabbing them?

Use email tags. Quote me to see how to do it.

 

[dishwasherlove]

It's cool, I just PM'd DeafMutes and pieatorium with keys.

I don't think anyone else asked before them?

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

Bought a beginners cookbook earlier, excited to finally learn how to cook and stop being intimidated by food.

Went to the Disney/Dreamworks exhibit at the Silver K gallery today. Bloody fantastic and recommend it to everyone in Melbourne to take the time to see it. $10 adults, cheaper for everyone else.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Thanks for the fireteam action Death & Mr.Ginger! Time sure flies when you're having fun.

Best cookbook the wife and I were ever given was "The Joy of Cooking" by the wife's caterer aunty. Great for those who have no idea what they're doing, just like we didn't.

Also... Silver K does exhibitions now?

Yeah I was going crazy trying to kill that lev 11 knight.

Were you able to hear me though? I'm using the ps camera and i think the microphone is too far away for voice to go through.


Had an epic strike after you guys left:

will have to check it out, thanks for the tip. the one i got was How to Cook Everything The Basics: All You Need to Make Great Food by Mark Bittman

is that not what silver k is, essentially? a gallery? you could purchase works if you wanted to as well

 

[Rizzi]

I noticed Postal 2 was on sale so I bought it.
Yep. That sure is a video game.

It was good fun last night

But no, I couldn't hear you, only background noise / speaker noise. I have had the same problem with the camera being too far away.

 

[Axiom]

Destiny is a fun game, even though I don't like first person shooters in general - you mix Halo and Borderlands and I'm pretty on board.

Shame I'm also terrible at first person shooters

 

[reptilescorpio]

New Shield tablet has awesome specs for only $300. Might have to grab one eventually

Yeah I was going crazy trying to kill that lev 11 knight.

lol yeah I wasn't doing any damage in there

Couldn't hear much, some far away talk and speaker feedback, that's about it.

You guys should be using the Gold headset! Awesome surround sound with a decent mic built in
