Mars is a mostly indoor complex. Quite hard to navigate right now.

 

[def sim]

alright

time for powerbombcast and some destiny wee

 

[Croc]

There should be extra rewards for beating a team with less people than they have...

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Here you go!

Holy shit. September 9th get here now.

 

[Kinitari]

Can someone add me to a fireteam? Same name in PSN. I keep carrying not great teams, but it's not like I'm amazing, so we lose!

 

[PedroLumpy]

Some event, yay we get to play control with the level advantage enabled.... just what I never wanted.

 

[Korten]

I keep joining a match, I'm on Alpha, and then Bravo team just utterly curbstomps in the first couple of seconds and before a minute is up, is up a couple of thousand.

Am I just getting unlucky and getting paired with players who are grouping up?

 

[NoTacos]

How do you get the iron banner class and items?

 

[RoKKeR]

Don't like the Mars map, Rusted Lands is still the best, hate supers in MP and I still don't understand the point of this event yet. Good deal!

 

[AGoodODST]

You want to play Mars?

Here is the Moon four times in a row.

 

[Blinding]

You want to play Mars?

Here is the Moon four times in a row.

Moon isn't in the playlist with Mars.

 

[jett]

My apologies to Bungie but their PVP is just fucking garbage.

 

[Snoshado]

So it looks like this unlocked a new (aka nothing new) gametype in Crucible as well as one new multiplayer map on Mars.

Also, there's a new area in the Tower behind the massive gate that is now accessible:

Twitter compression is really that of the 1990's. Wow.

 

[Pastry]

Through the alpha and so far in the beta I've only ever gotten item from crucible and it was a material item lol

 

[lt519]

Still havent gotten a new map, this is dumb

 

[Mine01]

This game is making me want a ps4, sadly the earliest i can buy one is this xmas, do you guys think the ps4 destiny bundle will be aviavle then?

 

[SnakeEyes]

You aren't missing out on much. Unbalanced MP and apparently awards that we can't use. Wooo!

That don't carry over into the full version, lol. I've been watching the Bungie livestream and yeah, I'd much prefer the balanced MP of the Crucible.

This game is making me want a ps4, sadly the earliest i can buy one is this xmas, do you guys think the ps4 destiny bundle will be available then?

Unless stock numbers are absolutely huge I think you might be out of luck by then, *but* Shu has said the white PS4 will be available before the end of the year as a stand-alone console.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Just played on flooded Earth. Pretty cool.

But I need to get my ass to Mars!

 

[originalself]

I checked the bounties and it had a bunch of event specific ones. You may want to pick em up before playing.

 

[TheMan]

been playing for about 15 minutes- awesome graphics, iffy framerate?, definitely feels like bungie.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Why is everyone hating on the PvP all of a sudden because of this event? Regular PvP is still solid.

 

[Vooduu]

Wtf Bungie, fucking vehicles are overpowered. People just getting slaughtered by those things on control, absolutely ridiculous.

They need to nerf the auto rifles too.

 

[El_Fenomeno]

I must say i dislike the moon map, the vehicles man. Too overpowered. I need to save my golden gun just to take them down.

 

[Altima]

Damn, iron banner bounty is too hard. i will never achieve them.

 

[The Lamonster]

The cruible announcer is so ugly and annoying. Terrible terrible VA.

Also not pleased to run into so many invisible walls. Certainly nothing 'next-gen' about PvP in this game. I'm just gonna stick to PvE.

 

[DNAbro]

Why is everyone hating on the PvP all of a sudden because of this event? Regular PvP is still solid.

Some people don't like PvP at all. Don't know why though. It's tons of fun.

Moon isn't in the playlist with Mars.

apparently it is? 2nd time on moon, once on earth.

 

[Gorillaz]

Why is everyone hating on the PvP all of a sudden because of this event? Regular PvP is still solid.

because in the special event you have people who know what they are doing so now you can see the cracks and faults more in the PVP

 

[JB1981]

Some event, yay we get to play control with the level advantage enabled.... just what I never wanted.

Dahhhh

 

[Korten]

Yeah... Playing on Alpha team from my experience in the Iron Banner, is the same as basically sticking a niddle through your eye. :/

YES THANK YOU.

Are you reading this Bungie? That moon map fucking blows.

 

[Granadier]

My apologies to Bungie but their PVP is just fucking garbage.

This. Holy hell does it suck. There is almost no sense of balance.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

Is this event going on all day?

 

[CraigerGamer]

Why are you storing underlevelled gear instead of selling it? Am I missing a major part of the game here?

I didn't know there was an option to sell your gear. How did I miss that?

 

[super-famicom]

GOT THE 10 KILSTREAK BOUNTY IN IRON BANNER.

 

[Trickster]

Wtf Bungie, fucking vehicles are overpowered. People just getting slaughtered by those things on control, absolutely ridiculous.

They need to nerf the auto rifles too.

These things were also common complaint during alpha. I would expect and hope that the reason these things ( along with a lot of other things ) have not been changed for the beta, is because the build they are using for the beta was decided upon before they got the alpha feedback.

It's probably fine for now, but splitting the matchmaking population for an unbalanced (but otherwise identical) playlist isn't good practise.

Me too. PrivateWHudson

 

[Gaz_RB]

They still are, let's not kid ourselves.

But they certainly don't take 15 minutes to kill, and killing them is fun with a good squad.

Yeah, you're right, but I don't consider it a negative in a game like this. In an MMO you don't call bosses or enemies "magic or sword sponges" when they take a while to kill. The challenge in these bosses comes from surviving boss attacks and the additional enemies that come periodically, while still dealing damage. At least I think that is what they are going for. And I know that's not for everyone.

I think it's fine considering it's only a 2 hour event.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Just got an iron banner pistol

 

[Phatmac]

I hate this moon map. It's way too big.

 

[king grimlock]

man lag might be the most frustrating, weird, and funniest thing i have ever seen

 

[Vooduu]

Does Bungie hate us? Why is there no Slayer or TDM? Fuck control, king of the hill, capture the flags, and those other silly ass game types.

I thought the Iron Crucible event would be fun but shit, I feel the exact opposite.

 

[Eggbok]

This isn't fair !!

 

[Alucrid]

it's just a beta, calm down jesus

I used a Scout rifle and shotgun.

Also, Mars is the best map!

 

[Dug]

Did Bungie say if the multiplayer announcer is final?
