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.

I'm glad you bolded the statements that make you look like a complete idiot for ease of reading.

If I get the Xbox One version of the game will my PS4 character carry over?

Does beta progress carry over?

the word for awhile has been nothing carries over. Just a special beta emblem. though a couple days ago Bungie said they havent made a final decision. But I would still assume no.
 
some of these titan armor descriptions are badass

Is there one zone per planet? How many planets? someone posted we'll go to venus, earth, mars, moon, saturn and jupiter?

I mean the full game wouldn't have you go on five misisons in old russia, that would be awful. and i hope the lvling is accelerated or something. Generally it was a good taste of the final game but really has me anxious if the lvl cap isn't above 20.

I mean there should be vendors and stuff on other planets.

They really need to make the option to quit more clear. You shouldn't have to go through 2-3 menus. As soon as you hit option, quit should be right there. Why are they basically hiding being able to quit the game? Ugh.

Do you mean quitting the game entirely or just returning to orbit?

Because to orbit out of a match or session, just hit the touchpad and hold triangle.

queue from orbit starting at level 5.

He needs to get invited by completing story missions and talking to the crucible guy in the tower first.

Thanks for the answers. I am trying to decide which version of the game to get since I have both platforms. Sony has the better content but one of my friends is getting it for X1.

So I finally reached level 8 with my Titan. I just finished story mission 5 and I guess that's the last one because I can't access the Moon.

Do you get good gear from Exploration? I'd like to gather up before I head into the Crucible.

And what is the fastest way to earn some Glimmer? I wanna buy myself a new ship or Sparrow. :T

i did all of the story missions



what's "orbit"?

You get to orbit by pressing the touchpad and holding triangle. Lets you choose Earth, Tower, etc.

Crucible will be in the bottom right when it's unlocked. You might need to go back to the Tower and talk to a certain NPC first. Should be highlighted for you when you're there.

Is there no mic support for this beta, or is everyone just silent?

I was playing in the alpha with friends and we could chat. I've got the ps4 camera so the mic is always on. I've been happily talking away to myself all night lol and not one person replied. I think you can only chat with your fire team tho, I'm sure I read on hear.

Whenever you hit the touchpad and hit triangle, it takes you to orbit. It's the menu from where you select your next destination. The Tower, Earth, or the Crucible.

i don't have a touchpad :(

but i figured it out thanks.

Hmm, I just assumed it autosaves and you can just Home out of it when you're done anytime.
 
So all yesterday my PS4 was left to "transfer" the game content. I came home late last night to see it ready to go, went to sleep, and when I awoke today it was gone.

Like the whole icon is gone, including the notifications of the client and update file downloads (along with other notifications from this whole week). I have no clue what happened, but looks like I have to leave it downloading for 6 hours again. So lame.

I do find myself hoping there are more customization options at level 20.

I love the simple look of some of the starter armor, and I would love to recolor it at level cap, or have versions with level 20 stats.

I'm really hoping bungie doesn't go the route of having people use their armor as a status symbol, because it inevitably ends up with everyone looking the same.

Please tell me you're basing your analysis on the amount of the content in the entire game by what's in the beta.

Now let me preempt my reaction: lol

I think the armor is generally pretty similar to the Guild Wars series; each class has a few unique sets, several "generic" sets that get progressively fancier in their higher level versions, and nearly everything can be recolored to your liking.

Holy shit at that fight with the Hive!
Hive Tombships? Very cool.

The game finally did make me smile. It took too long... but it did.

Still have a lot of issues with this game but at least it isn't terrible.
 
There is no voice chat outside of your Fireteam.

So, I played with the the earpiece plugged into the DS4, had voice set to headset only, and got nothing from my fire team. Does that mean they simply weren't talking?

I also tried the Pulse headset, but got nothing.

I did see a small symbol in the bottom right appearing intermittently. As well as some yellow pulsing around their level indicators in situations when it looked like they were trying to talk to me, but I got no audio.

Am I missing some kind of setting I have to activate or have I just been stuck with a quiet fireteam?

Rather than going to orbit, we should be able to fast travel between worlds thru touchpad in-game.

Never happen but it would be cool
 
Reached level cap in the wee hours of the morning. Did some Control matches. That Venus level looks really nice. I've died a few times falling to my death at Zone B >.<

prediction: when they cut the beta off you will be like an addict begging for one more hit.

In GW2 (and most modern mmo's nowadays) there's usually appearance systems so you can say, have the stats of something you got from a high level encounter, but the appearance of a different set of gear that you might like the appearance of.

Bungie seems so dead set on allowing you to create the look of your Guardian, I'd hate for it to evolve into "yeah this armor is butt ugly, but its got the best stats so I'll deal."

This "transferring game content" crap is so annoying. What the hell is it even doing? I've been waiting for almost two hours and it's still not even 50% done.
