Agility is run and jump speed? That seems like it would be more useful in PvP than in PvE, where the enemies presumably have better aim?

Thanks! Browsing this thread, I see so many people ask the same questions, and I realized that many people may have not played the Alpha/not played 20+ hours like me or haven't spent the insane amount of time I have looking up info on this game, so I thought it would be nice to share what I learned. I am super excited about Destiny, and hope that everyone else on GAF has a great time in the Beta and Retail releases.

You can get swarmed by a lot of enemies, especially in the Strike missions (invisible melee types charge you in groups a lot), so running away to regen and reset can be a valid strategy.

Would also like to know this =O is there even one?
Only Control in the Beta. But this image shows a lot, if not all, of the PVP modes in the game.
There's also Salvage, which is in the achievement list, but not that image.
Anyone else get the message that your beta code was already redeemed? Pre-ordered off Amazon today to get the beta code, not working out so far. Already reported it to Bungie, just wanted to see if it was a more wide-spreadish thing.
Second question, I joined DestinyGAF during the Alpha, was that just during the Alpha or am I still in?

I redeemed my preorder code on the site, and this is what's showing up. Is this right?
I have to wait till the 18th to get my code?
What region are you in? I know that says Americas but maybe it's a timezone thing?

Could we please change the name DestinyGAF to simply GAF? The tag is too long and we all know what game we are playing. If we can't change it, I can live with it.

DGAF for short.
In Alpha at least, it showed up as DGAF under people's names, which I think is wonderful because of the implication.

Someone took the GAF name already, and NeoGAF, as well. They were formed in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Currently, GAF has <100 members, and NeoGAF has only 4. And I don't know if they are GAFfer or not.

Ok, that's cool. Didn't know that.
It seems that you will get 3 download keys for the Destiny beta.
Platform selection for the Beta is now available! Each code will grant you 3 download keys, enough to field a full Fireteam on the console of your choosing! Need help? Click Here!
Sadly, when I want to redeem my PS4 key for Europe it doesn't let me saying that it will be available on July 17th.

so i was kind of bored, its 1:30am nothing much to do, lurking trough gaf, messing around in paint due to boredom and tiredness... and to my sleepy little mind this image came..
note: it was done in paint and im not good at this kind of stuff.
Also, it seemed it was funny at the moment

The 18th is when the beta starts in AU. Also I hope you have a US PS account or you'll be disappointed (AU accounts go under Europe).

Only Control in the Beta. But this image shows a lot, if not all, of the PVP modes in the game.
Alright, so it's time to speculate:
Control: We already know this one. Capture and defend 3 zones to win.
Rumble: Rumble is traditionally Bungie's word for FFA, and what better way to represent that than with 3 swords (for 3 classes) crossing? Lone Wolves, this is for you.
Lockdown A circle around a sword could represent either a lock or a capture zone. It could be a 1-sided offense-defense kind of gametype, or it could be a King of the HIll variant with either a single static or dynamic zone to control.
Skirmish: Sounds like a form of Capture the Flag. Skirmish was also the name for the Objective playlist in Halo 3. Could be a Stockpile kind of variant where flags are placed around the map, delivered to a capture zone, and defended or stolen until they are scored at specific intervals.
Team: Instead of the swords crossing, they seem to be lined up, as if to signify that they're on the same side. Basically the Slayer/Team Deatchmatch game mode. Pure carnage.
Salvage: From the achievement's list, Salvage appears to be a gamemode where you also capture points. With a name like that though, it could be one of several things. The first thing that comes to mind is a "kill confirmed" kind of game where you have to collect the other person's Ghost for the point to count, but that seems a bit stretched. This could also be the "Oddball" variant where players have to hold onto an object for a period of time, or a "Headhunter" variant where they collect loot from a dead player and score it at a drop zone. If that's the case, it'd lean towards another FFA gametype as well. Either way, players will be scrambling about the maps.

I think Aus/NZ GAF are all getting 18th showing up, since we run tings' a day a head round these ways.
Quite odd how PS4 is regions specific, whilst Xbox One is global.... I wonder if that's to do with the Azure servers? If it is... it could be beneficial for Aus/NZ GAF'ers to go X1 (but I really don't want to).

If that's the case, it'd lean towards another FFA gametype as well. Either way, players will be scrambling about the maps.
Sounds just about right, and can't be that far off. They might try to throw a little curve ball here or there but the PvP in shooters has pretty much been distilled into these variants by now.

Salvage could possibly be an Oddball variant, or Headhunter. Maybe Lockdown is an Invasion variant, and Skirmish a Stockpile variant? I only have limited experience with Halo MP (only played CE and 2), but am reading a wiki now and looking at the game types

lol I just remembered Stockpile too. Yes, I think that is much more likely and fits the name. There's also that bit of consistency since its emblem is similar to Control; both modes involve capture zones. Headhunter also seems like it'd fit. Those gametypes would have even more evidence since they were in Reach (where it's easy to see some Destiny concepts being prototyped).
Yeah we have to wait til the 18th, because of timezones. And going Xbox is definitely not "beneficial"

I want to hear Lance Reddick sending me orders and updates through radio again
This fucking voice, guys
I hear you, I could listen to his voice forever! Such a calm and pleasant voice he has.
In my opinion it is a much better voice as this Dinklage Guy, it would be so damn cool, if they had chosen Lance Reddick for the voice of the Ghost.
But I think Dinklage is a bit more popular these days.
Yes you can. This works with anything you buy from another region's PSN, provided the login/account remains on the console. If you delete the login/account from the console, access to the content goes too.

Oh, I'm with you there bro : PS4 version all the way... I'm just referring to the actual gaming server location vs billing location - aka - do we have to choose Europe as it's where Oceanic accounts are hosted (we get a secure EU website when doing billing etc on PSN), or is it because we will playing the Beta on a EU server, which is a whole different kettle of fish indeed.
Xbox being a global choice on the Beta menu makes me think it's due to the Azure network, which is locally hosted in Straya, which could mean less lag... and is the only reason I would consider it beneficial
I'm sure with that comical quip thrown in the mix "....we know Australia isn't a part of Europe, just choose Europe Anway. Love Bungie", it's just a billing thing (well, sure is a strong word.. hope is more the word I'm looking for)

I'm betting that Lockdown is a take on KOTH/Hardpoint and hopefully Skirmish is indeed CTF. My interest is piqued as to what Salvage ends up being. Damn this waiting.

Likely to be Salvage. Ghost acting as a possible oddball variant or an objective or you have to pick up a dead player's ghost for a "kill confirmed" game mode.
Well it's a Bungie thing, not exactly a Halo specific thing, but I haven't noticed too much 7 when I played the Alpha.
Likely we won't see the full extent of Bungie's devotion until September.

So the way the PSN works is that UK is the head of our region, and Aus and NZ fall under that umbrella. That's why buying games from the UK/EU still let you download their foreign DLC codes in our NZ/Aus PSN stores. Also the reason why we need to pick Europe for our DLC codes, if you want to download through your normal NZ PSN account.Oh, I'm with you there bro : PS4 version all the way...
