I don't think there is another use for old gear that are merely weaker versions. But a lot of gear have specific strengths that you may want to use strategically in the full game, like discipline, intellect or bonus when used with specific weapons.
There is where we will disagree. I don't find the boss encounters or regular enemy encounters particularly boring at all actually. The shooting is very engaging. What MMO do you play currently with FPS gameplay this good?

I don't think they'll be a big issue in the retail game when the maps are filled with high level characters with all abilities unlocked.

Aw, still capped at 8? That's unfortunate.
A few questions...
Is there going to be a character wipe post-beta? And now that I'm 8, is there any particular place I can go to try and get better equipment, or should I be satisfied with a suit of greens?

Some people had license issues, and if they did, those issues prevented the mini-client from doing its thing on its own

Ok so far this are my concerns with the game :
- I feel the game content quite limited and gonna get repetitive very soon. I know its a beta but so far I've been doing 8 whole levels using the same goddamn map and enemies.
- The group boss fights, are the most ridiculous and boring boss fights I've ever done. I got so bored from shooting and reloading that after finishing the encounter I didn't touch the game since yesterday.
- It's unacceptable that all the hardwork you do on gears are weapons is disregarded once you step foot on PvP battles, as everything is normalized regardless of your gear.

Ah I see. Mine opened up automatically as well
PvP
Or call 800-WIZARDS
I wouldn't count on it, Bungie is pretty terrible at story telling, overly convoluted, and nerdily pretentious. They need to keep their stories simpler, and more personal to be succesful. I feel Halo 1 was there only decent, un-cringewothy story. And also ODST. With no real main character and in a coop MMO setting, it is even going to be more difficult to make a good story. i am just hoping for good believable game scenarios, and clear understanding of lore and conflicts.

Green is highest for 8s apparently
There might/might not be a post-beta wipe

Ouch, that sucks.
But I've also seen plenty of games that only partially install and then do the rest in-game, and as I said in my last post that's a really shitty system because then you can't even play another game while it downloads.
Seeing the words "hard work" applied to gaming always makes me wince but are you saying you want PVP to be completely unbalanced by allowing every level and gear advantage into those matches? Whats the point of that?
if you're talking about the spider. shoot it's legs, makes more damage and will expose it's core, when it does, shoot the core and it should die pretty quickly

Edit: Not entirely
The weapon upgrades transfer to PvP, and that can give someone a big edge.
DAMNIT... I went Warlock during Alpha and now trying Titan during Beta. I miss my cape mang =(
I thought PVP stripped any advantages that armor and or weapons gave players in PVE? If weapons effect PVP that kind creates an imbalance does it not?

I agree except for the last point. PVP should be even footing I believe. Or perhaps have a queue that uses your own gear and one that is normalized.

Void hunter sounds so cool but it will have to play a support role therefore toning it down. Maybe the ability to switch places with enemies and friendlies.

but that will destroy all balance in pvp. and not everything is normalised apparently, stuff like faster reload is still there in pvp. i think bungie should remove this also and completely normalise everything in relation to gear earned in pve except weapon loadout
I think that's less of an easter egg and more an AI issue.

I like hunter. Knife melee, throwing knife and the golden gun are all fun.
Warlock is pretty cool too, but it seems like a class my main gaming buddy will like more since he likes Adepts in ME, Siren's in Borderlands etc.
Titan I thought was the least interesting one.

Attack Damage is the only thing that is normalized. Everything else that you level up carries over.

Is it possible to fill out the available subclass in the beta assuming you play enough?
You disassemble them in your inventory for money / materials.

Most of the upgrades are not PvP-breaking
They can be taken out, especially with the proper heavy weapon, but I agree, they are too much of a pain to deal with at times. They're just bikes after all, not a tank lol.

Found a boss named Celebrant of Oryx. ??? Enemy I couldn't even begin to punch through the armor. He had Knights nearby too so couldn't get close for a shot. Think I will head there again to try for a selfie

It hasn't been fully implemented just yet though some people are starting to see clan tags.

Not that I don't believe you, but can you point me toward a post where that happened? I did see people messing with licenses, but those were people sitting in front of their PS4s (obviously since you can't jump start licenses remotely) not giving the installer a chance, so we'll never know if it would have still downloaded something without intervention.

Essentially, though to a point. Obviously I don't want to be hip-firing enemies from hundreds of meters away without some support (like zoom).
Every time I see somebody say this it always ends up that the person doesn't know how to tackle the boss fights effectively, or their team isn't working well together.
I ran across that too while playing on Hard. Instant death at level 3.

Really not digging Warlock...the jump glide is tedious and the grenade has such a slim radius...definitely going Titan for release.

Wait your ISP sells blocks in Gigabit chunks not GigaByte? That's so slimy, how many folks know to divide Gigabit chunks by 8 to get work out many GigaBytes they're getting!

Was the intro stuff in the alpha as well? Can't remember it. I'm personally not a fan of having a games opening the beta, that's a pretty large part of the game and you have to repeat it once you get the full thing.
I've played Hunter in the Alpha and Warlock in the beta, I don't have a real preference yet. Hunters have great maneuverability which I miss, especially that Double Jump, but Nova Bomb > Golden Gun all day.
Going to try out Titan later today which I'm expecting to like. High armor and melee abilities sound nice to me.

To be fair shit will get more interesting later with sub classes. Like a buffer helping teammates out then taking care of the mobs, other two attacking and flanking main baddy, etc....
Right now the main tactics are to distract and build up super, killing baddies in meantime
Eh... not really. They're easily taken care of by one turret.
You're just not supposed to go at them on foot by yourself.

It happened to me and also people who did/tried to do the EU preload trick

If that's the case why would there be quarter masters for PVP gear? Or unless you just used the gear to PVE.
And unbalanced the game???
Are you insane, if they let you have high level equipment in the PvP, the newcomers wouldn't have a chance playing the game.
