Bungie are such teases man. The later game gear is just plain phenomenal[/QUOTE]

Not gonna lie. Those cloaks make me want to go Hunter... >.>
 
I know nothing for coding, but why don't more games have fully customizable controls? I just want to assign the actions to the buttons I want to.

FWIW, my understanding is that for a game to be "certified" by MS/Sony, it needs to be thoroughly tested with every possible controller configuration. If they allowed full customization, it would just add a ridiculous number of configuration options to test through, so they usually limit it to 5 or 6 configurations tops.

PC games don't need to be certified by anyone, so most PC games provide unlimited button customization.
 
How does that game do it?

It's important to say this stuff now so maybe they can change possibly change it for the sequel.

But I want it now :'(

I actually really want to play the PvP, but I may not if it's the way it is now. It just feels like most other shooters otherwise.

That's certainly interesting. From the games I have played, I have only seen fully customizable controls in fighting games. Would enjoy having such options available for FPS games though.

I really feel that the Hunter is the worst class, both the Titan and Warlock's ability is a OHKO, yet the Hunter's abilities suck :(
 
Spent all day yesterday downloading the Beta (for some reason it was downloading slow)... Went to have a day of playing this today.. My cats chewed a good portion of my cable cord last night... So now I don't have cable and my internet restarts about every 5-10 mins. Oh and I leave on vacation til Wed tonight.

The Destiny Gods have forsaken me.... WHY!!!!!

I played some multiplayer for the first time, and it was good... it was damn good.

Only problem I can see is not being able to tell if an opponent is supercharged to do their ability or not? Pretty much a one hit kill if they can, although I myself enjoyed tossing the Nova bomb to unsuspecting victims so maybe that balances out :p

Glad I enjoyed the beta because I was not sure of the game, I know we're meant to be "testing" but I enjoyed it.

Game seriously need skippable cutscenes, fucking sick of that dicktease elder telling me about what he could tell me

Any good ways to farm dust? I fancy one of those other ships, seem a lot poorer than the alpha

i know this sounds stupid, but i'm so happy because i found the facial marking that makes my hunter look like pris from blade runner. for anyone else that wants to use it, you have to pick a human hunter. now it was tough giving up my awoken hunter due to the cool hairstyles but i just love those facial markings. i really hope they are back with the awoken for the final but i have a bad feeling that i'm going to have to go human due to this. oh well. the human hairstyles just really aren't that cool for female hunters. anyway, sorry for the interruption but i obsess over the appearance of my characters. later and hope to see you guys online later.

If you look at the players name and level above their head, it will have a slightly glowing yellow boarder around it if they have their super charged.

So will the perks we get for playing the 26th at 2pm PT and any others be tied to the platform we're playing for beta or will it be for your account so it can be redeemed wherever? I'm playing on PS3 for now but will probably get the game on the XB1 (don't have it yet).

edit: wow major fail and I stepped away right after asking... lol
 
Quick question about the beta. Can I team up with a friend right away, or is there a certain amount of the beginning of the game I need to play before having the option for co-op?

I beleive you need to do the first intial part.+ intro cimenatics Fighting through the wall, and maybe some other small stuff, probabaly around 20-30 mins.

Beta is tons of fun. Just got to level 4 with my hunter subclass. I wasn't planning on getting the game tbh. With driveclub, TLOU, plants v zombies, FIFA 15, dragon Age, middle earth, and The Crew all being released in the next 3 months choices are going to have to be made. We are in for a wealth of in believable games to play soon...and Destiny is now a must buy. Thank Bungie.

How can people be ragging on the Hunter class? they are awesome. Not had any trouble taking any body down as one.

Got a K/D ratio of 3.0 before. The MP is just lush.

First Saturday in months that I haven't had to get up at 07:00 (latest) so I can play late into the night and... internet is misbehaving. My internet that has hardly skipped a beat in nearly four years. :'(
 
It definitely requires way more skill and timing than the other two classes whose specials are just "hit both shoulder buttons when you want everything to die."

Yeah alright, that's fair. It does take some more timing and precision for sure. That being said, I'm fairly awful at PvP, and always manage to kill at least one person with my Golden Gun.

After the initial annoyances, i'm starting to like this.
ADS sucks though, making one the attributes to increase hip-accuracy would be wonderful.

Audio-visually the game is excellent even with the shitty sub-HD resolution.
 
Another quick question since I'm stuck at work. Do the enemy spawns when exploring seem any different than the alpha? As in, do enemies still spawn back in an area 20 seconds after you've cleared them out?
