It's a shame once you've chosen your armour colour when you create your character that you pretty much lose that once you find new stuff, or is there a way of painting new armour? Not found any cloacks yet, they will be cool!

Really love this, the co-op will keep this massively popular for me, I just want to see more now! I really hope Old Russia isn't the only location on Earth. There seems to be ALOT of content in this game that will take a while to figure out, such as collecting Light and so on.

Has a Trophy list been released yet? Interested to see what features on it. Hopefully no PvP trophies as I am not into that really (in any game).

Yeah heres the list:

whats ur control sensitivity level guys? coming from bf4, im having a hard time getting used to the controls in PvP.

i play BF3/4 at 80 percent. this game is different. its harder to be accurate at high sensitivity because the sticks in battlefield respond to the slightest push, in Destiny on the other hand, you have to push the sticks a little more distance before you get movement (there seems to be a bigger deadzone). i set it to 5 and that seems to be my sweet spot.

What's it mean when I see a dialogue box with a "..." in it above people's heads? I've never heard someone say anything in this game. I keep my fire team thing public but no one ever joins. And then sometimes I invite people and they don't say anything. but I have my mic on and I have no idea if they can hear me or not.

Also, it's really annoying when people clear the entire area before Devil's Lair instead of zoning in. Usually it'll be me and another person doing the 0 outta 3 part at the beginning before the other guy will even zone in.
 
All those people complaining about titans + warlocks being invincible while 'supering' is quite untrue. It's just they move really fast and it's over in pretty much a blink of an eye. This makes them pretty hard to kill while mid super. Unless they've already been damaged before hand. Or if you have a rocket launcher. I've died plenty of times in the middle of fist of havoc

Whoa, just found a cave system around the area with the laser blocked doors during the strike mission with an extremely high levelled wizard. Ran away immediately when I found that even my super wouldn't damage it!

Yep, as a Warlock I can confirm I am not invincible during Special. Rocket launchers, bad ass snipers, they will kill you during lol.

I started with the ps4 beta and then downloaded the ps3 beta at my parents house last night and I was surprised to see it picked up my character and progress. Amazing I might just have to buy both now!

omg I'm dumb lol... I'm watching the new Unfinished video from Giantbomb and just realized that you have access to you gear/inventory while in orbit. I always went back to the Tower everytime I wanted to equip gear I got at the end of missions lol.


Btw, there's no way to trade items between players right?

Can anyone tell me how do I get a hoodie for my Hunter? Right now there is only a scarf.. and I cant find it in the tower.

Cheers. There are a few PvP ones in there which might be a pain (earn the maximum weekly score, although this might be simply a number of kills) and then some cumulative ones too.

So you can create a clan within the game for the Strikes? This sounds different from creating a party. Wonder how many players can join it...

there is already a gaf clan. I don't think there is a limit.

Just took down a spider tank on my own, felt like a badass.

Every time I do missions in explore I keep getting (what I think are) vanguard points, but when I check in the menus I can't find anything other than vanguard marks (which has been stuck at 2 for a long while). Is that value supposed to increase? Because I don't know where these things are going every time I finish a mission, lol.

Vanguard points...go to your Trainer and you'll see a circle to the left getting filled up

Pause menu or inventory?

this is true, i have been killed in the middle of executing my super several times, besides, the hunter's super more than makes uo for it because it allows for precision kills, 3 at that

PVP isn't very good.
Being rather COD-like, it really needs join-in-progress, or the team missing a player or two will start losing very badly (unlike in Halo were good players can compensate numbers).
It is unbalanced, certain weapons are clearly better in PVP (my pulse rifle is pretty bad, with ADS or not).
The game is fast enough ADS doesn't really suit it... but pretty much every weapon outside shotgun need ADS in my experience so far.
Some weapon effects lag behind a lot, such as shotguns (it may take some half a second before my hit registers).
Melee is... random.
The classes are not different enough to make this a decent class-based PVP shooter either.

Basically things are as i expected...

And then there will be "level advantage" PVP... what the fuck is Bungie thinking?

Frankly CODs and Battlefield 3-onward are considerably better ADS PVP games.
I hope Destiny's PVP bombs so that Bungie will have to redo it later on to be something better, either a proper class-based game, or an arena shooter.

Will try that fucking Iron Banner event later on today, and will keep playing PVP otherwise a bit but i know it ain't going to get any better.
 
So am i the only one rocking a titan? I like it for PVE having a little more oomph and eventually being able to be a tank like defender with the sub class

I'm surprised i liked the titan since its so close to a generic spartan but after rolling all 3 classes in the alpha i digged the jet pack jumping and smash of the titan. Super punch is fun too

I do think i'm at a disadvantage with PVP or i just don't know what i'm doing

Guess I ventured to far outside of the area parameters, the darkness will get you lol.

Oh, and thought this gun and description was mildly funny, so sharing:

 
Had a lot of fun playing with other GAFfers yesterday! Surprised to one member swear so much.

And EverydayMath, did you have a mic? When I tagged along in Explore you were pretty quiet. Was that guy in our fire team also a GAFfer?

Okay I just discovered a place through the caves with the level 20 Wizard with a level 20 Shrieker and a level 20 Knight. I keep trying to run past them to explore the new environment but I get bast to pieces immediately.

This is what I'm worried about. I wish they could give us the option of having a PvP dedicated character which is really high level and has good weapons negating any level advantage people would have.

I thought the Titan was the go to PVP class. In fact I just leveled to 8 for the sole purpose of 1 shotting with his super. I definitely do not like his jump as much as the Hunter. There's no way to decrease your altitude on the fly so you go to high sometimes when you just wanted to jump a little bit higher than normal.

I heard that the multiplayer modes with the exception of the one being previewed today for 2 hours have normalized weapons and gear?

well i'm sure its great for clearing out areas where people are bunched up but it seems Hunters have more versatile abilities. Good for range, close, etc

Also you can decrease the altitude in your jump. just hit the jump button again in air and it'll cancel it
