I'm ok with vehicle on the moon. It suppose to be strong like titan in titanfall.

There is a small difference between something not being for you and something being bad.

I consider Destiny PVP to be bad due to various issues. A PVP mode should always be balanced in some way. Destiny's isn't in any way as far as i can see. "Normalization" is a joke as it is, though perhaps it will be strengthened for the retail. EDIT and then there are other issues. Bad maps. Generally lack of innovation or anything truly interesting. Inconsistent melee and weapons.
I've played better PVP games that are not really for me.
That said, i've played considerably worse things... so i am being a bit unfair perhaps. But i'd also like to like to the game completely, so far it is only partially something i like.

 

[LowParry]

I'm having fun with the game but I just can't play it on PS3 any longer. It looks great but it's just so low res for me. Looking forward to the PS4

 

[UnwrittenZero]

Got a purple ship out of the iron banner. It's called the birth of history.

 

[Rixxan]

It's a purposeful design choice.

a smart one too, imo

the less you force console users without a keyboard/mouse to navigate clunky inventory and exchange menus the better

 

[VisceralBowl]

I don't know if it would work but I'm sitting idle in the new part of the tower so maybe if you join my game it will let you in. PSN: SicherLem

Sent a request with my GAF tag. Invite me when you can!

 

[Trickster]

Just noticed there is no way to give/trade weapons in this game, wow how did that happen.

Pretty normal in mmo games

I find the balancing to be near perfect.

 

[DSN2K]

what are you guys going on about ?

 

[Conkerkid11]

If you wanna play Iron Banner, send me, Conkerdood, a friend request and I'll try to get people into my Fireteam.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

I got NO Iron Banner gear, ain't this a bitch.

Yeah, nice to see the new maps, but no good loot.

 

[Interficium]

What do you guys think of the sprint turn speed?

It was annoying but acceptable in single player, but in PvP the turn speed is super annoying... feels heavy and clunky, even after cancelling sprint there is a buffer time in which you turn slowly.

It's fine. In fact, in makes the difference between sprint and regular running appreciable with different advantages, as opposed to say, Titanfall (which even has an auto-sprint option).

 

[jacksepticeye]

People who didn't leave are still able to play? That sucks

 

[Ark]

Man, I want to join the GAF EU clan but EU2 only has 15 members and 7 clan mates. Why bother being in the clan if you aren't going to set it as your primary? :l

 

[Ilúvatar]

Has there been any word on if anything will carry over from the Beta to the full release? Equipment, story progress, etc

 

[drak_dreamer]

Got this from pvp IB

 

[Jest Chillin]

DeeJ said during their Iron Banner stream that "There will be items that will carry over from Beta to Live" but he stressed that the vendor stuff from Iron Banners was not it.

 

[stupei]

Only my second time in the Blind Watch map since Iron Banner started. Damn.

 

[Stoze]

Shoot, I was too busy playing the PvP that I forgot to go back before the time was up and buy stuff from the npc. Does anyone still have the area open in their game?

 

[VisceralBowl]

The way we set it up makes it so that all of the subclans can play together no matter what.

 

[Woorloog]

I find the balancing to be near perfect.

What balancing? The classes are not balanced against each other (at least there ain't no rock-paper-scissors balancing). Certain weapon types are far superior to others, even though this game doesn't have utility weapons like arena shooters have. Vehicles are overpowered (not an issue in-itself that much but lack of counters is a big issue).
Maps are not balanced as they're asymmetric.
Skill-matching seems to be non-existent.

EDIT for a balanced game, look at Unreal Tournament (arena shooter) or Team Fortress 2 (Class-based) (as far as i know it is balanced). Hell, some of the CODs are more balanced as ADS shooters.

 

[veloxStrix]

Based SicherLem. Being the Hero GAF needs and wants.

 

[Rixxan]

Got this from pvp IB

can you use it? my buddy got a level 20 purple item but obviously cant equip it

 

[Ark]

Oh okay. I should have read more then. Nevermind

Applied to DestinyGAF EU 3.

 

[REV 09]

pvp still sucks. Maybe the other modes will be better, but the map design, vehicle combat, weapon and power balance are all over the place. Don't see competitive mp catching on like Halo.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

I'm ok with vehicle on the moon. It suppose to be strong like titan in titanfall.

I'm not one to bitch about balance, and to be honest the tank is killable with the turret, sniping, and some other things, but it's just not fun. It's too fast for it's strength. A competent driver can just slide between A and B and just clean up. If you're spawning near A, you have to go almost all the way around the map to get to the back of the turret above B to down that bitch if it's early in the game without specials or supers.

[SnakeEyes]

Nope. Bungie have said you can look, but not touch.

 

[Oozer3993]

The Iron Banner event WILL happen again during the Beta. So you haven't missed your chance to buy that exclusive gear.

Iron Banner maneuvers have concluded in Destiny. For now... Stay tuned. The doors between Guardians and Lord Saladin will open again.

Has the beta soundtrack been ripped yet? There's some awesome music in this game.

I ripped (most of) the music from the Alpha. And I'm working on the music from the Beta.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Now see if I realized you could get a badass cape I would of swallowed my PVP hate and just soldiers on! Badass. Show it in game!

September is so damn far away oh man the wait is going to suck

 

[Altima]

I really hate Earth map in PvP. Anyone with me?

 

[UnwrittenZero]

Nope. Bungie have said you can look, but not touch.

You can fly the purple ships they where giving away I got one!

 

[drak_dreamer]

can you use it? my buddy got a level 20 purple item but obviously cant equip it

Nah, its also lvl 20. Pretty useless.

Here are the stats.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

I really hate Earth map in PvP. Anyone with me?

You're crazy. It's the best map by far IMO.

 

[Kikarian]

Anyone know why the EU GAF clan isn't showing under my name? I've set as my PS4 Clan.

 

[XxCGSxX]

Does the impact stat matter in PvP or is that normalized also?

 

[KJRage]

Don't know how I'm so bad at multiplayer. I'm not great at all FPS multiplayers, but for some reason Destiny is just absolutely brutal on me. I've played several games now and have yet to get a positive k/d. I feel like all of my weapons take forever to kill someone and every weapon someone uses against me drops me in 1 or 2 shots. It's extremely frustrating. I just don't understand it. /rant

 

[Warnen]

Pretty normal in mmo games

Not really.

It's a purposeful design choice.

They want you to earn your own gear. So no trading

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/04/28/destiny-wont-have-player-to-player-item-trading-at-launch

Well at least at launch...

Just find it odd, my brother like the Machine Gun style weapons, I like the pulse rifle. he find nothing but scout and pulse rifels and I get all machine guns.

Figured it be like any other MMO, don't use something should be able to give it to someone, BoE.

 

[SnakeEyes]

You can fly the purple ships they where giving away I got one!

Not the weapons though.

 

[Pimpwerx]

What's all the iron banner stuff? What did I miss? PEACE.

 

[harrypmgaga]

People who didn't leave are still able to play? That sucks

They don't get any Iron Banner rewards though. Even if they're still in the "playlist" the game goes back to regular Control.

 

[GrizzNKev]

I played until the time limit ended. The doors in the Tower are closed. Did I miss my chance to claim those items?

 

[PrivateWHudson]

DeeJ said during their Iron Banner stream that "There will be items that will carry over from Beta to Live" but he stressed that the vendor stuff from Iron Banners was not it.

Wait, did the vendors have good stuff during that time? I spent the whole time in PVP trying to get something.

 

[Messofanego]

The male character design sucks. Every one is a meathead type

u wot m8

 

[drak_dreamer]

Damn thats nice. I continued playing after 19h. Didn't think the doors would closed, with Iron banner quartermaster on the other side... T_T

 

[The English Conquistador]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Did anyone else manage to get this hotness? Is the Iron Banner more likely to give hawt rewards?

 

[Steel]

I really hate Earth map in PvP. Anyone with me?

Don't know what you're talking about. It was the only map I really liked.

 

[UnwrittenZero]

Did anyone else manage to get this hotness? Is the Iron Banner more likely to give hawt rewards?

I got one of those too.

 

[Spy]

Is anyone in the tower with Iron Banner open? If so, can I join your game?

 

[todd360]

So if you didn't go claim your rewards before 4 you're fucked? Would have been nice if they told us that. This was a waste of time.

Yeah for sure. I went to the vendor first thing to see what he had. It was nothing a level 8 could buy so I didn't go back when I hit rank 1.
