The End

Is it possible to change your character's appearance at all (after initial creation)?

If they're really planning for 10 years, they'll have to include something eventually

if i had to guess, they'll add more appearance options with the expansions/sequels and let you change then
 
What does that mean? I don't see a level for my subclass.

I am wondering the same thing. How can I tell which skills and such are the ones included up to LVL 15. The subclass system is the one thing that is still really confusing to me about this game.

Sub classes are for your powers ect.

you can find out more here:

subclasses



Not at the moment.

That video tells me absolutely nothing about subclasses. :(
 
You should never believe anything Elzar the Bam has to say.

Ha, I believe anyone's lies when I can't handle the truth, even a HaloGaffer's!

I did have luck with the scout rifle, so I'm hopeful; if you get straight head shots it still seems pretty evenly matched with an auto rifle, even at close-mid range.
 
killed the wizard and died @ the same time, so i was just stuck unable to loot anything till the mission finished and i was taken back to space D: i wanted my hard mode looties from the wizard!

I'm pretty sure any loot you didn't pick up appears back at the tower. It seemed to work that way in the alpha anyway.

I love the speeder bike "woo" sound the sparrow's make.

Played all the levels last night as Titan, lvl 7 now. Did strike with 2 others but we died @ that robot you have to kill. 1 guy left, and the two of us got so close to killing it then we both died. I love the Titan death pound.

Sorry bad link.

all of your specials powers and jumps are subclasses

the more you use and adventure, they'll also rank up too.

Go to bungie.net and have a look at your character then click your ability

that'll then bring up your sub classes and how much exp is in them

Dude, do you know who that is? Also it's not even half way through the Beta things can very rapidly change, especially with a 2 day maintenance window.

apparently someone that works for bungie. but i played alpha and the level cap was 8. same here, i think he didn't understand what we are referring to as "level cap" seeing as the other user he replied to also said what i'm saying, that the level cap was the same. it's probably miscommunication.

and of course we are referring to things as they stand "now". I'm fully aware that things can change for the beta.

I hope the reason I am forced to play the moon map over and over again, is due to them focusing on vehicle balance. Vehicles are way too powerful and ruin a perfectly good map.

I just want to take the time to thank whoever worked on the melee attacks, because they feel perfect. There is nothing quite like punching something that then disintegrates into lightning.

Am I the only one who can't figure out how to party up? I set myself to public, but does it not auto-match me for events/missions?

And I hope we get some visual customization separate from armors, at least in the Tower. Like WoW's cosmetics vs. actual armor.

One thing I do like is the quicker load times and the narrator voice seems better in parts.

Thanks for the reply. I pretty much understand all of that too. What I would like more detail on is how they earn XP and how to tell which skills belong to which LVL. This all just seems a bit vague to me. Hopefully this is more fleshed out in the final release.
 
The shotguns ive came across seem underwhelming compared to the rifles is anyone having fun using them?

I am. I like giving enemies the quick 1-2, a shotgun blast followed by a magic palm to the face. It's especially awesome when i jump off my sparrow land right next to an enemy and shotgun him in one swift movement.
 
Haha I can tell you've played too much Wolfenstein lately. Hip-fire ftw!

Too bad it's not as effective in Destiny.

Yeah :( Will just have to employ of mix of both.

Get way more 40 dmg critical hits on aim-down-sights than hipfire. Sliding + shooting isn't as effective, either.

As soon as I got back from work yesterday, I had the beta installed in an hour and three hours later, I maxed out my Titan. I thought it was gonna take me longer. Heck, I got a grimoire score of 395. Had to leave a GAF Fireteam since I have to go to work soon.

Can extra high level loot only be disassembled? Or can it be sold/traded somewhere? I got a lvl 23 armor that is useless in beta.

maybe they're have a lot of spoiler content?

Personally I can't wait for when I'm not playing reading the game.

They said they're redacted because of spoilers and it's a beta. :)

Also reaching lvl. 6 and getting lvl.10 gear...not cool, Bungie. Not cool.
 
Only got to play my Hunter from the start up till nearly lvl 4 last night but I'm already having a better experience than the alpha, and I loved the alpha. This is largely in part to having your character start from the very beginning as the story missions give me more context for my being, and make the overall experience a lot more seamless in my opinion.

I've promised myself that I will actually put some time into PvP this go around once I hit the cap, so I'm looking forward to that, as well as cap out the other two classes since I only played Hunter last time too.

The companion app is slick and I enjoy being able to pore over my grimoire cards easily with it; haven't come across any redacted ones yet but I'm sure there'll be a ton.

Forced myself to get better with the hand cannon this time and love it. I'm a space cowboy.

I did have luck with the scout rifle, so I'm hopeful; if you get straight head shots it still seems pretty evenly matched with an auto rifle, even at close-mid range.

i've been able to stay near the top of every crucible match i've played using a scout rifle (trax callum). quite often i've gotten in 1 on 1 shootouts and come out on top. headshots are key, but they don't seem to be extremely difficult

Are we planning to have a GAF feedback thread for Bungie to look at? If so, any time soon or after the beta? I'm just writing down some stuff in a .txt as I come up with them.

Fusion/scout rifle combo in this game is great.

My experience with shotguns has been terrible (way too much kickback compared to other guns, and not enough power to them) Fusion rifles are so much better than them.

I am liking the game so far, just wondering if I should get the PS4 over this game or not... I am currently playing on the PS3 beta, played the PS4 beta at my friends place and all that was different were the graphics and I swear the PS4 had more slowdowns than the PS3 does.

I also experienced my screen going black and losing sound randomly on my PS3, not sure whats up with that. Anyone else get that?

I find the shotgun to still be pretty boss. Just gotta get really close and aim for the head. About 8 yellow numbers pop up for big damage and a satisfying feeling. I can make better use of them now as a titan than as a warlock in alpha. Still not sure which class I like more though.
