Some of the PS4 version's shadows are just as low res with a blur filter & edge dither applied. Looks bad.

My only real criticism of both this and the alpha before it, is I only want to play the story missions. Since they seem to be so few in number, I don't know if this game is going to be holding my interest. The strikes are fine I guess, but the PVP is fucking horrid.

Sure you can, you will just be quite gimped as the dmg is pretty much as low as it gets
But you get other weapons like it later on, not everything is lasers and spacemagic ^^So I went to the tower for a second and started dancing (because that's what you do in MMOs) while I went AFK for a minute. I came back and found like 5 people sitting around me. And then I walked away and the entire crowd started following me all over the place. I got a little freaked out and logged out.
I think that's just how their awful level scaling works

You can trade items between your own characters, but not other players.

Elemental damage I've unlocked, but only on charge up rifles which makes it useless for PvP and most encounters in PvE imho.
As to rate of fire vs precision vs all that other junk, as PvP has proven right now the king in damage is assault rifle for primary weapons. If they balance it out where other choices are viable, then maybe.

Only Old russia for earth ? Also, beside the early tutorial, I haven't seen any loot crates. is it me or ?

If you press the touchpad near another player in your firesquad, an option comes up to press select, but it doesn't do anything. I'm betting there will be trading.

I'm hoping for more than Old Russia on earth
I remember reading that Bungie doesn't want trading. The reason being that they want you to earn the loot on your own.

Don't know for sure, there have been quite a few concept arts of places like Chicago and other cities on Earth...if that's in the full game or as DLC I'm not sure.

So voice chat in fireteams only activates if you aren't already in a PSN party right?

Twofer with the Hunter pistol. This game is awesome!
Be sure to watch in HD, FB compression sucks.

So how does the game decide who to filter into my gameworld? They're not part of my fireteam, right?

It's been hinted around and so has Saturn and Mercury. So who knows. I really want to know how big this game is
Are there any good sources for detailed backstory on the "universe" in Destiny?
I had thought, when the game was unveiled, was that the story was that humanity started to expand across the galaxy, encountered a very nasty enemy, was pushed back to Earth, down to the last city, and then the Traveler showed up and put itself between the city and the invading aliens, causing them to withdraw, leaving things at a stalemate. But humanity didn't know what the traveler was, what its motivations are, etc.
The story as explained by the Speaker sounds significantly different, with the Traveler having shown before humanity started to expand.

They've shown in game footage of mercury.
Sure you can, you will just be quite gimped as the dmg is pretty much as low as it gets
But you can at least somewhat upgrade the weapon, no? Or do you move through weapons every 5 minutes?
Look, all's im sayin is, I just want a solid gold AK with a green laser pointer and a smiley sticker on the ACOG sight cover along with a Hello Kitty keychain dangling off the charging handle. Is that too much to ask?

Yeah and isn't the one with a ship flying toward a city with the sun really close?

There are gonna be several. According to IGN's wiki anyway, here are earth locations:
"European Deadzone
The Last City
Mumbai Push
Old Russia
Old Chicago
Twilight Gap"

I love the story and exploration modes but I am wholly unimpressed with strikes/boss fights. MMO-style pools of health without MMO-style RPG roles don't make a lick of sense, they're big dumb slogs. At least so far.

I'm scared for how big this game really is. If Old Russia is the only place on Earth, then that's bad. Old Russia isn't the biggest place ever
For Raids and long Strikes, yup. Shouldn't need them outside of that.

I'm just talking out my ass but I feel like we wont see the gas giants at a surface level. My money is on seeing the gas giant planets moons intead like Enceladus, Titan, Europa ect. Don't know why I think that but I do.

These are areas that they have shown concept art of when first talking about Destiny. However, seeing as we have yet to see any appearance by them, I'd be extremely leering of saying that they will be in the final build. IMO, those are post-launch expansions or Destiny 2/3 locations. I don't see them adding them into the final build.

Member
Well ya, but that's why I just showed you the list. Take off "Last City" of course, but that still leaves several locations just on Earth.
Icyflamez96

Yup, edited in the pic
Oh my GOD YES that's freaking awesome. I knew I heard about those places before but I thought it was just unconfirmed speculation. IGN having it up means it's confirmed right? (considering they seem to be interacting with bungie a lot for the IGN Fira)

I have only been playing the First Light (moon) map in the mp -- what's the deal??

Perhaps, but do you think we are just gonna get old Russia? I would be surprised if each planet/moon didn't have at least 2-3 locations.
The game is teaching you the way of the wizard.
So I noticed a few changes from the beta that I thought were needed for balancing issues, and most of the minor glitches I originally experienced are gone now too. I am liking the new additions, and I am sure the main game will deliver much better story-wise than what we have right now.
As for things I have noticed or have been pointed out to me for changes, there are a few. In Crucible, the hunter knife has a delayed effect, so you can still get killed like 2 seconds after the melee attack by the victim. Also, aiming or doing anything while in the jump modes that aren't Hunter cancels the glide, but I am not sure how much an issue that is.
Also, I think the map choice in Crucible needs to be more randomized or something, since I have almost exclusively played on Venus (not a problem I love that map, but still want more variety). Other than that I haven't come across much I disagree with.
Things I am extremely frustrated with in this Beta include the rarity of public events, the lack of cloaks to try on or use, and the tease that is the Moon being shown. Other than that I am not too frustrated about anything though, pretty solid experience overall.
