Support NeoGAF

[megalowho]

Still have to try the Strike mission but going by everything else this game is going to be a hit, can't wait until release. Seems more like a demo than an Alpha. Love the minimalist UI, the MMO-like PVE experience, gunplay and AI reactions are satisfying and the dreamlike atmosphere is not something you usually find in a shooter, gives the whole package a unique tone.

Got some loot from enemies but not a lot and chests can be difficult to locate in the environment. Hoping for a higher drop rate in the final product, curious how far down the crafting well they go. I worry about the writing a little but the game's universe is compelling on its own, by MMO standards the mission design stuff should be decent at least.

Took plenty of screenshots and video throughout, can't get enough of those Bungie skyboxes.

The game needs a vote to kick option, people just get into strikes and go afk

 

[gspec]

I can't get in. When I press start on the Destiny First Look Alpha.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Cool, thanks peeps. Figured some of it was a crafting thing we can't play with yet. I've exchanged the spinmetal before but wasn't sure if there was more too it. Oh, what I mean by "plates" is when you dismantle an uncommon item, it often gives you "plate metal" or something. Just curious. Man I don't want it to end, lol. Having loads of fun and I am almost anti FPS to the core. Good times.

Edit: missing the mission for the spurs game. SA betting fraking win!!

Plate metal I think is a class specific thing. For example I got a shit ton of hadronic essence (warlock). My hunter friends don't have this. They have something else

 

[FalsettoVibe]

So does it live up to the hype?

We'll you can be automatically kicked by the game if you loiter for too long.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

What is this event? Or is it a mystery? Also...if the ALPHA is ending in 50 minutes then won't the event happen after everything has closed?

 

[MixedBeverage]

One question -- when I look at my roster, I can add people from my FL or randoms who are in the same area. How do I see other DestinyGAF members and join/invite to fireteams?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

It's all opinion but for me..

YES!!

A million fucking times

It's right in the OP. Goodness.

The First Look Alpha will run until 11:59 PM PST, Sunday, June 15th.

Add me for future Destiny stuff (or PS4 in general) TeknomanEX


Also whoever composed the music for Destiny, big thumbs up. Bungie always delivers on great and unique action game soundtracks. Wish other Western devs (well aside from Naughty Dog, Wayforward, and old Blizzard) would take note.

No way, vote to kick is a terrible idea. Best to just let that player time out.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Whatever you do don't press triangle and see that gun rendered in all its glory.

DestinyGAF gets early beta keys right urk?



.. I pre-ordered regardless.

 

[krioto]

I cannot stop thinking about this game - I jst went to the Bungie website and lost an hour or so. I can't fucking wait!!!

Exited out of the inventory menu to find this sight. I hope the dude knows I'm a dude.

Didn't really have this game on radar until this weekend....had a blast doing some solo missions and the MP was also a surprisingly good time. Only complaint was when doing the strike mission the couple bosses we fought were bullet sponges. Was by far the least amount of fun I had playing, which is kind of a let down since I was expecting them to be more engaging then just hiding behind a rock and emptying clip after clip into them.
Maybe we just didn't get the strat down and I only tried it once. But disappointing non the less.
But overall it's a definite purchase for me.

not when they go afk at a boss since they are bullet sponges and waves get harder with even one person not pulling their weight

Because I'm in the UK do i not get to participate in this potential event? The place is dead, no other players as far as the eye can see.

 

[catmario]

Nooooooo.... Destiny Alpha is going to end!!!!

Now I'm working, and I can't play this anymore!!!!!!!

 

[Loomba]

I'm far too attached to my character than I should be after only a few days. This game is really great. Roll on beta... ;_;

 

[EL CUCO]

Wait the event is at 9:00 EST?
Whelp sorry thats GOT time

And during the NBA finals

My DVR is ready

I know exactly how you feel. I don't want to lose my Scarlet. ;_;

 

[tokyostomp]

I apologize in advance for the screenshots

The last 2 remind me of Borderlands

awwwww, so cute

 

[Sawneeks]

Quick question to those who pre-ordered for the Beta code...

I pre-ordered Destiny 2 days ago at Best Buy but never received my code. Do I just contact Best Buy customer service to get it?

 

[RoKKeR]

Damn, that's awesome looking actually. Might consider exo for my Warlock in the Beta.

 

[squadr0n]

Where do most people spend their time? in the cruicable or in the explore mode? Where is the event going to be?

 

[Namikaze1]

awwwww, so cute

Why couldn't he have been human?

[Scarphace]

Haven't played a MMO in a while but I enjoyed this alpha. I wish there was more stuff to discover in explore mode but that might just be because its an alpha. I am looking forward to the beta and the release.

 

[Namikaze1]

Spent half an hour waiting for the damn Noble Devil Walker. He never came.

The fastest way to make new friends: by dancing.

Thank you for the advice, guys. Got my new wallpaper (last one) because of you guys.

 

[Slair]

Hey man. I think you're on my friends list. I'll be on, don't worry

Haha, you are indeed. Let's hope it's not just us two standing about while the US get to have some sort of special event.

 

[catmario]

What I saw thus far was normal weapon and green, uncommon weapon.

Is there any more types of weapon?

 

[tokyostomp]

Apparently I pre-ordered back on October 10th, 2013

Lol!

 

[Eggbok]

Anyone know what is going to happen @ the event?

 

[Maligna]

I didn't have enough friends playing this. I don't want to be alone when the full game comes out. Everyone add me!

blue is rare. purple is legendary.

 

[RoboPlato]

I'm just sittin' at the tower waiting for the event to start. What's everyone else doing? I'd be down for a strike or some crucible matches.

I have another pic of the same guy being sandwiched by two other guys.

Thanks. No one really gives the purple neon mouth glow any love as far as I've seen. The white eyes are straight piercing.

 

[Pumpkin King]

Well, San Antonio is playing like crap. Might log on at 8 after all.

[CloudyTuba]

So what does being part of a clan get me?

I thought there would be some sort of interaction in the game, like being able to invite clan members to my games. Like, make my game options Public and let whoever join. A list of online clan-members in-game or something. But besides the little title next to my name, I see nothing. What is the point? How do I make use of it?

Practically, I wanted an easy way to find random folks to join the games that do not give a matchmaking option, but allows more players. I don't see why it can't have matchmaking options for all modes. That just means I will play alone. I just want to play with randoms.

Those Exos know how to fuckin party

Yup Exo for me too... I actually was gonna play it for the alpha but changed my mind and went awoken. From what I'm seeing though Exo seems underrated while awoken is a bit boring.

And let's hope so Slair haha

 

[Namikaze1]

Here's that image of the same guy who sat behind being sandwiched.
