Got tore up on Crucible last night. I just can't get the hang of the Warlock's jump or Special. Most of the time trying to jump onto a ledge that I could make with the Hunter, I just bounce off. With the Special bomb thing, I usually end up shooting it off course and then landing next to the guy I was trying to kill.

It's sort of the same. Where did you see me? Crucible? Exploration?
I'm having more fun with Crucible in the Beta than I was in the Alpha...not sure why. I guess it finally clicked with abilities/guns and stuff? I dunno.

Doing a strike or a mission or hard is actually pretty hard. . DGAF should really utilize each other once the full game drop and to see if people will be willing to do pick up missions since I just want to play the game on the hardest difficulty from the start.

My buddy is gonna have 2 maxed out characters by the time I get off work.

Make sure you double tap X quickly, gives you the highest altitude.
Big fan of Peter Dinklage but his VO work still doesn't seem to fit and really kills any immersion for me.
The Bungie feels especially in the MP are all here
I also really don't know why i suck so much at others fps (i'm decent at Titanfall but far away from being good) meanwhile in 6 matches of Control i got MVP in all of 'em lol
Between this and the Halo Collection my social life is gonna be pretty much dead this fall

It's cool and all that we can see Tower inventory on b.net and on our phones, but I'd really rather not know that the Gunsmith has a great upgrade for me, and that it'll be gone by the time I get home from work.

From what I understood you only needed to buy the digital guardian edition...

That cheeky fuck.
Yup noticed that. If Wash turns up in the retail version as a pilot I may just faint.
...oh and get Jayne in there as hired muscle.

The way I do warlock jump is to basically press x almost immediately after first jump since that'll make you glide up and keep gliding. It's great for pvp when you're on the high ground and float to a different base.

Hopefully in the future they can go further with it, and allow us to buy stuff from vendors without being in the actual game. Would make it easier to do some world wide "Prices are half off the next two hours" or similiar stuff.
The web/app companion is halfway to being super brilliant right now.

OH...I guess I was using it like a jet pack. Jump as far as I can, then engage to get max distance.
I can totally see that. The music does an amazing job of setting the mood, and in that scene in particular, building a sense of dread. The positional audio is also fantastic and really does an amazing job of immersing you. I haven't tried it with my headset yet, but I will be doing so tonight.

Started as a Hunter and made it to Level 2 last night before I had to go to sleep. I made it to the city to speak with the trainer (i guess) and the postmaster... and now I am in orbit.
When do I start seeing other players in the game that I can join up with or do they have to be in the same clan as me?

When running around the world, doing quests or just exploring, people will phase in and out of your game at random. If you've ever played Journey, it's exactly like that.
If the game costs $69 and the guardian upgrade $29, why would anyone pay $35 for the expansion pass?
I thought that at first too, but the more I think about it the more their method makes sense in that the momentum of your jump is working with the thrust instead is against it.

So... how many people can you see phase in at a time? Is it possible that like 5 or 6 people will be on the planet with you.. but not working with you? Thanks for your help!

Idk maybe they didn't take advantage of the deal?

No clue, I would guess it would be a total of three (including you), so you can form a striketeam and go do a mission. But yes, people will just run around doing whatever they were doing, you can then group up, or just walk around together for a bit.
The player does increase when you hit an Public Event, where the number of players in your world will increase dramatically to take on the event, and afterwards they will leave again.

I actually think they went too far with the effect on his voice.
Somewhere between the alpha and the beta seems ideal.

Who else is playing with the bumper jumper control setup? I'm so used to pressing X to jump (or A on the xbox), but it feels especially necessary to put jump on the left bumper because of wanting to aim with your right thumb while gliding/jetpacking/double jumping. I'm going to have to retrain myself, but I think it will be for the better.

Whenever you do anything besides float and move camera while floating the power stops. So it's not like It matters much.

Glad they fixed or toned down the snow from alpha. It seems better in the beta. I still notice frame rate dips every now and then but it runs smoother and looks a bit better. The Strike mission, holy shit they increased the difficulty on that one.
Still think the character models when you run around the tower looks cheap and low rez. It looks like the lighting is off compared to when you are in the character creator tool. Also the low level armor looks boring, I need better carrot on a stick lookin loot. Which I haven't seen in the previews either. Hopefully end game armor will look more distinct and bad ass. Right now the only reason for me to level is to increase or open up abilities.
The new Venus map, is fun to play in, but I think it looks horrible. You can tell it's built with last gen in mind. Like the moon base map the best so far.
My overall impression hasn't changed much when I played the alpha, it will be fun to play and get when it comes out, but without knowing what end game content will look like, not sure how long it will hold my interest. I'm probably more excited for destiny 2 when they ditch last gen, and build it solely for current gen.

incorrect. Reddick does the voice of the Titan Vanguard.
After playing Titanfall this way, I have to switch to bumper jumper. It's much easier to use your super with x than having to remove your thumb for jumping. It takes some getting used to, but I would recommend it.
Sounds like a good idea but is there a damage penalty when firing in mid-air?
Thanks for that. Now grinning from ear to ear in the office.
Jayne had some of the best lines in the show.
My favorite one of his is: "Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight... or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight"
I'm feeling the very same about the game and I don't get the hype about this game. It's not bad, but it isn't very good either.
But in this state I will definitely not buy this game, because every single thing that is presented in this game has been better in other games.
The Auto-Aim alone is keeping me from this game, this is a godamn shooter and I don't know how people can accept something like this. I wanne move quick and shoot precise, but this is not the way to do it.

True, but it definitely throws me off to have to take my thumb off the thumbstick and then quickly put it back on to reorient myself. Plus you can still aim and fire while you're falling. I don't know, I'm going to try it out for the rest of the beta, I can't really judge it one way or another yet.
Don't think so, nope. Less accurate maybe. Although it's a Bungie game so probably not much less accurate.

It's all good. If anyone asks, we're playing on the PS3. You just can't talk about anything xbox specific, like live and/or graphics performance

Port begging is frowned upon here
So they removed the Wizard moon line. Wondered why i didnt notice it. Sort of odd considering the meme its become, it also kind of voids their T-shirts.

Quick question - in the alpha, there were several random events in the world. (Like FF14 FATEs) I was only able to play about an hour last night, but I didnt see any. Have they removed them from the beta?
