Dude with a .02 KD ratio just got a purple ship, meanwhile 3.0 KD and I get a white. Shit makes no sense.

Isn't it randomly generated numbers like Diablo? You can increse your chances but never have any guarantees.

 

[SnakeEyes]

this iron banner mode is fucking awesome...

how do i get the emblem?

Last day of the beta for the emblem.

I think it's random on the winning team

Did you play Team deathmatch?

The BWU claimed the better you did, the greater rewards you would get. Certainly isn't the case.

And then there's this...

The level cap in the beta will stay at level 8, Bungie just confirmed in their live stream. #DestinyBeta

Damn it.

 

[Sande]

Does the damage stat take fire rate into consideration? I have an auto rifle and a scout rifle that are both at 33 but the scout rifle does way more damage even at point blank (so the range stat isn't a factor). Same thing with my rocket launcher. 50 something damage but it obviously does several times more damage on a single target than anything else I have.

 

[Midnight Phoenix]

There's the ship flying about.

Pretty much love this game, gonna sink some hours into it on release.

I can only dream for star fights in the future = (

 

[ArchedThunder]

They said it's not Halo, that it wasn't going to be anything like Halo, so for you to have the hope that it would play like older Halo games completely went against them telling you it wasn't going to be like Halo and set yourself up for disappointment.

Despite some balancing issues I've been enjoying PvP as much as I enjoyed Halo 2's multi, which is a lot.

I'm just saying what a lot of people wanted. I wanted something new and they gave us a bad CoD clone with a fantasy scifi spin. I really hope there is a lot of PVE content in the full game because I can't stand this multiplayer.

 

[TDawgTommy]

Do the final story mission, the last boss will count for the bounty. Repeat 9 times.

That's The Last Array right?

 

[SegaShack]

The BWU claimed the better you did, the greater rewards you would get. Certainly isn't the case.

It probably does just increase your chances with better performance, not guarantee you better items.

 

[ducksauce]

How do I equip an Iron Banner Class, Emblem and Shader? It's requires for a bounty.

 

[Tomash]

Really not a fan of the Moon map with the vehicles. Much prefer the other two maps.

I hope there's a way to bypass maps like that

3v3 is the new 4v4, 6v6 - BTB

anyone?

 

[RiotRhythm]

I feel like the PvP lacks an identity. It has a pseudo-realistic arena style to it, but then you have shit like ADS that throws off the pacing.

Maps aren't very memorable either, and the announcer gives me a headache with all those point captures.

 

[Tc91]

anyone?

You buy those from the vendor in the Tower, to the left of the bounty tracker I think?

 

[licktheenvelope]

So, why is everyone complaining about the PVP? What are those balance issues?

Problem i'm having is contextual to capture points where it's all either:

1. Rate of Fire
or
2. Close quarters

The maps kind of make weapons like the Scout Rifle (my primary) pretty useless. 1/1 it's basically impossible for me to kill someone who has an AR, Shotgun, or Handcannon unless I get extremely lucky.

Feels like you're going to need specific weapons for specific maps.

 

[Santiako]

After trying all classes, I'm definitely going Titan in the full game. They have my favourite jump, grenade (flash) and power. I wish they had capes though.

I'm sorry but how in the hell is this a bad CoD clone?

 

[Slevin]

Weird, that legendary hand cannon I got turned to a white after the match ended.

 

[OléGunner]

Well, this is my first ever Bungie game and I have to say the PVP is simply marvellous. I love everything! Weapons, vehicles, map design and layout. Oh man, this feels like xmas came early

 

[exYle]

Okay, it cannot just be me.

The Crucible is practically unplayable. I get disconnected midway through 99% of my matches, and when I am playing, my bullets have no impact, making more or less a worthless teammate. I had the exact same problem in the Alpha... except the game wasn't constantly booting me.
I have a NAT Type 2, which I thought might've been a problem, but I have no other issues playing online in any other game. This has to be a server-side issue, right?

 

[Dubz]

I join Iron Banner and get the same 2 maps as always....what's the deal?

 

[BokehKing]

I'm sorry but how in the hell is this a bad CoD clone?

Because you can ads, if you can ads, it's an automatic cod clone

 

[death4romabove22]

Just unlocked color purple hand cannon requires level 20 tho

Okay, I get it.

So far my rifle plus shotgun have served me on most situations. Depending on what the situation requires.

I haven't felt that imbalance yet, but it might have to do with the weapons I'm using. I feel there's at least one control point for each situation with open spaces and closed quarters in each map.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Where is the vendor for the special event?

 

[figadapaura]

What is the point of putting me in a match with 1 minute left?

Where is the vendor for the special event?

In the middle of the tower where it was blocked off before. He's on the right.

Yep. Pretty much. My Scout Rifle is far and away my best weapon, and I'm just not getting good drops of anything else, not even a good shotgun.

Instead I get a lvl 20 purple handcannon I can't use. Swell.

PvP seems like its going to be a balance disaster, like almost absolutely broken in Iron Banner when level caps come off.

Used a scout rifle fine (15 killstreak, 39 kills) on Venus which is fairly tight. Didn't have a problem whatsoever.

 

[Icyflamez96]

I dunno. People like to throw out that phrase for this just because it's not exactly like Halo, or that's what it feels like. It has similarities to both games, but it's all in all it's own game

 

[Goodacre0081]

on the vehicle issue I really think they should add Hijacking just like in Halo, the drivers should be vulnerable when they get too close to a person on foot. right now it's either run away or get lucky with body/head shots.

 

[Jabraham]

God mars is the worst map. it's sooo bad

 

[ComputerMKII]

Follow Bungie on Twitter

 

[orthodoxy1095]

This game has zero sex in it. I wouldn't even call any of the faces "pretty" or "handsome."

I disagree. My Titan is quite pretty.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Rusted Lands, where are thou

God mars is the worst map. it's sooo bad

Nah, it's great. Almost as good as venus.

 

[lt519]

Finally putting some good numbers up. First 3000+ game, much easier when your team isnt garbage

 

[Alucrid]

It really feels like it's missing 1/3 of the map.

I have the same problem today. I cannot play shit because i get disconnected constantly.

 

[VisceralBowl]

That honor goes to Moon.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Because you can ads, if you can ads, it's an automatic cod clone

Or you know, it has the same combat loop and bases everything around playing more to get better guns to do more damage than other players.

 

[Vooduu]

Moon map w/ vehicles lol

 

[licktheenvelope]

My main weapon combo (coming out of P/E) is Scout Rifle/Sniper Rifle and it just doesn't work on most of these maps, though I have a better time on Moon because people have more issues with distance.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

on the vehicle issue I really think they should add Hijacking just like in Halo, the drivers should be vulnerable when they get too close to a person on foot. right now it's either run away or get lucky with body/head shots.

Completely agree. I got almost a 6 KDR using the tank. I was pretty much unstoppable. Hijacking should be in.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

It's better than the moon map that's for sure >_>

 

[JetBlackPanda]

can I sell spinmetal?

 

[Fracas]

I dunno. People like to throw out that phrase for this just because it's not exactly like Halo, or that's what it feels like. It has similarities to both games, but it's all in all it's own game

I'd say it's more like Call of Duty because it has ADS, small and relatively cramped maps, loadouts, supers that act similarly to killstreaks, and the fact that at any point in the game, you have no idea what your enemies or teammates are packing.

 

[Blinding]

Or you know, it has the same combat loop and bases everything around playing more to get better guns to do more damage than other players.

Except outside of this Iron Banner playlist they just opened weapon damaged is leveled across players.

 

[KnightHart]

I got first place in Iron Banner on my team and got 6000+ points and won the game.

The only one on my team who got an item drop was the guy who was last place with a 0.38 K/D and barely got any caps. M8 pls

 

[Crimson_Gold]

I am awful at PvP
