Couldn't agree more:

Only thing that I think was a small hiccup was the lack of context of why you're dead...unless that's explained before?

 

[Twilight Gap]

So you can't hijack vehicles? If not they are super over powerd team just kept driving them into the flags over and over. Also this is my 3rd game in a row not a single mic in the lobby.

i don't think you can voice chat with people who are not in your fire team.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Don't give up too soon on the moon...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Delt31]

so i'm on the installing destiny screen and its taking FOREVER. i thought it was just transferring the d/l data to the ps4 hd but it must be d/l the beta now. 73 percent for almost an hour.

 

[REV 09]

The gameplay is absolutely solid, but everything else about the game doesn't scream GOTY to me.

I don't mash every button on the controller trying to desperately skip the cutscenes in my GOTY. I would prefer for all that worthless and boring ass lore to be strictly in the background and not forced upon the player, like PSO.

Haha, I would prefer it to have better lore and a tighter narrative and no PSO.

 

[Hercules]

love both hunter and warlock so far. wbu guys?

 

[Oozer3993]

May sound stupid but... How do I play competitive online multiplayer? Havent looked for it, but also havent seen it...

Competitive multiplayer isn't available until you hit level 5. Then you'll be asked to get an invite from someone at the Tower. They'll be on the lower level on the right.

 

[Vire]

I'm happy it seems the loot drops are more generous this time around, I guess it makes up for the lack of glimmer compared to the alpha.

 

[LiK]

only played Titan. i'm old fashion

 

[crimzonflame]

Beta is hella fun

Eh, I just kinda accepted it.

It's like in Halo, I didn't ask why I have this armor, I just shot grunts in the face.

 

[JB1981]

Figuring storing items is a good counter balance for when you switch your character. Hopefully the higher level items aren't locked out

 

[subrock]

You're on the worst ISP in Canada then.

Hi, 50mbit in Victoria here. Downloaded in about an hour for me

Anyone with slow DL issues change your DNS to manual:

Made my dl go to normal speeds.

 

[Kuro]

This level 5 story mission is kinda kicking my ass.

I rage quit when I got killed by that mob of invisible guys

 

[Courage]

I'm liking Warlock, but I'm definitely going Hunter for the full game.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

So.. the darkness zones..
Everytime I enter one it disbands the people in my game. I walk through the threshold and everyone disappears.. i know you can't respawn in those areas but I'm assuming this is not the expected behavior.

 

[Blinding]

I think that's something you piece together as the story progresses.

 

[Moaradin]

The first 30 minutes was awesome. Loved the cutscenes and was pleasantly surprised to hear that your character isn't mute. I just hope we can expect a lot more of that style of story stuff in the full game. I can understand if Bungie doesn't want to spoil stuff in the beta.

 

[Mdot]

Same. It hit a complete standstill for me

 

[Pastry]

You're in an instance, unless they're in your fire team they won't be there with you.

 

[Trickster]

Ghosts purpose apparently is to seek out dead people that can wield the travelers light as a weapon, or something, it's pretty poorly explained atm I think.

I'm more curious about how it's possible to go from random corpse in the ground, to living person, with equipment.

Noticed that too. Don't remember it happening in the alpha

If they aren't in your fireteam, they don't stay with you as you enter new areas.

 

[Pyccko]

oh my god you can still get on top of the flag. THIS GAME IS GREAT CONFIRMED

 

[Deleted member 22576]

You're in an instance, unless they're in your fire team they won't be there with you.

You'd expect the people you cross the threshold with would carry over into the instance.. especially since the method for inviting others to a fireteam is pretty UI laden and immersion breaking...

 

[crazepharmacist]

So how can I get a code for this on PlayStation 3? I'm a Plus member if that helps.

 

[Seil]

It did. Instanced areas like those don't allow you to mingle with randoms. Only people in your fireteam.

 

[meanspartan]

My friend has it dosnloading SUPER slow even though he has fast internet (2% in an hour slow).

Can someone answer whether it will download in standby? It has to be in an app not regular ps4 downloads, so no?

 

[matthieuC]

You had to preorder the game.

preorder, you goob.

 

[A Serious Man]

Yeah, Warlock isn't bad but I have to have that double jump. Rolling Hunter 100% at launch.

 

[SnakeEyes]

I am seeing info about the other classes. How are people finding the info?

There's 2 known subclasses for each Class:
- Warlock: Void and Solar
- Hunter: Solar and Arc
- Titan: Arc and Void

You can look at the abilities of each of your two subclasses already, either in-game or using the Destiny app. It's also not unreasonable to suspect that a) we'll see each class get a 3rd subclass each, and b) when a 4th Class drops that a 4th subclass will be added.

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

Apologies if this has been answered, but I'm curious about the health and armor system in this game...

What's the numerical amount of health and armor a guardian has? When the red bar (health) is depleted, does it recover like armor does, or does it always stay down? I guess... I just don't understand how the health system works yet at all. An explanation would be nice.

 

[BokehKing]

Take off your system and wait a few seconds and put it back on, I had a hanging install on the alpha and it fixed it

Change his DNS settings. See my post above.

health will recharge as long as you stay outta fire for a few seconds. there's a slight pause before the shield recharges.

 

[shinobi602]

Apparently there's something else surrounding you're being dead/revived and whatnot. Interesting.

When it starts to blink red, take cover and it will recover basically, maybe your health will go up as the game goes on, but yeah once your shields go you got to take cover

Even in crucible? cuz that's really stupid if so.

It's not really as complicated as you are making it out to be. When red, hide and you'll recharge like Halo 2.

 

[The Elite]

What do you mean? Story wise?

Thanks guys. And the numerical value? Numbers pop up as you deal damage I noticed.

I'm more curious about the numbers associated with damage and health.

It was cool but the best in years? I wouldn't give it that.

 

[KingErich]

Does anyone know if you get to go open world exploring into the city at the bottom of the first vendor area where the ship docks? Or is most of the stuff in the distance just eye candy? Are there areas where you don't have to go underground or in a building to fight monsters?

 

[Zeyphersan]

Any word on if you'll be able to move your characters seamlessly between platforms? Like buy on PS3, play a bunch, buy a PS4, continue there? Or even start on PS3, continue on Xbox One?

Full release, of course

 

[REV 09]

where do i change this at?

Settings > network
Then setup connection or something. You'll have to manually configure it, but you can auto everything except DNS.

 

[shinobi602]

Said person alluded to that...
