Some people said the same thing about my Alpha thread.

I can't win.

You did for me. Great OP and title!

Almost time for some new stuff from IGN?

Some people said the same thing about my Alpha thread.

I can't win.

 

[Hoodbury]

I think I'm going to go Hunter for the beta. Warlock will likely be my main in the final release but I want to get a taste for a different class than I played in the alpha.

I'm in a similar situation. I played titan and warlock during alpha so will probably try hunter first for the beta. I'm still leaning on maining titan for release though.

I did have a lot of fun with warlock too, that jump grows on you the more you use it. heh.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Thread title comes off as an advertisement for the game.

 

[op_ivy]

Besides... Warlocks are tight with the Traveler. We're its favorite by far.

the traveler was a bad guy all along

 

[ferrasvansen]

I must admit I'm really looking forward to this now. First few days I don't have much time, but then after maintenance I'm free to play 24/7.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Oh, so this is what the thread title references?

I can't speak for Dax..

but here you go

I am so hyped!

Accidentally double post.

[Gaz_RB]

"Say that to my face!"

;P

Ok that actually looks really badass.

 

[Halo 2]

Now I'm debating to stay the course and be a Warlock or become a Titan instead.

Warlocks4 life!

 

[The Librarian]

Oh, so this is what the thread title references?

Sorry, thought this was more well known.

There was a sentiment going around when Bungie was making Halo that they "caught lightning in a bottle" and probably wouldn't be able to do it again. With Destiny, a lot of people were won over and the general consensus seems to be that the game is gonna be great. Hence the title.

Sage also referenced the phrase at the end of one of the ViDocs. That's where I got the idea from.

*shrugs* I really like it and thought it was clever.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Played Warlock in the Alpha will try Hunter for the Beta. Like others have said hopefully the level cap is a little higher.

 

[super-famicom]

I guess I should pay more attention to things.

Edit- And whenever I see the word "lightning" on GAF, I can't help but think of Lightning from Final Fantasy.

 

[Korben]

Is the title acceptable to everyone?

Everyone ? No. Fellow Hunter like me ? Yes.

A Hunter should never let down another Hunter.

 

[El-Suave]

I was a Hunter in the alpha, in the beta I'll try the other two classes.

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

Ready to finally give this a try, I'm pretty much sold on the game already.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Yo Bungie, add some standard team deathmatch in your beta. Control is cool and all but I want some straight up carnage!

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I still don't know what class is what.

 

[Lakitu]

Awwwwww yeah!

Can't wait. What locations will we be able to visit in the beta?

 

[bigDave]

Penus, Heart, Marx.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

the traveler was a bad guy all along

Exactly ;P

Ok that actually looks really badass.

Right!? Well, go figure... it's Bungie... i've not seen a single bad looking armor on any class! They just have superb design / art direction.

 

[super-famicom]

I still don't know what class is what.

Maybe you should read the OP.

 

[Hoodbury]

I still don't know what class is what.

The OP describes all three pretty good. What else do you want to know?

 

[Dragonborn]

I'm still amazed how Bungie managed to just blow everyone away with that Alpha. Can't wait for Beta, and only a couple more months for release!

 

[The Librarian]

Trouble, I'll add your propaganda posters to the OP when I get home <3

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Trust me I tried many a times.

When someone says I'm a warlock, I'm like what the fuck is that again.

Can we start using soldier, magician and golden gun from now on? Pls

 

[The Iron Yuppie]

I am so hyped! Warlock for life.

 

[Orayn]

I still don't know what class is what.

Titan = Fighter
Hunter = Rogue/Ranger
Warlock = Wizard

The title is fine, people who know have always been bungie gamers and watched all the vid docs and read all the weekly updates so know the phrase "lightening in a bottle"

I mean even if you look at the Pentathlons Cup is a fist holding lightning.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

SMH at all these hunters around here.
#teamwarlock

I can't believe its a week away now.

Yay!

Don't see this happening

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I just realized that if warlocks get trench coats I demand a fedora and a neckbeard combo so I can m'lady all female characters

"Can we go on the mission together? You owe me that much"

 

[Jimmyfenix]

noooooo

True! Forgot about the Pentathlon cup.

It's just basically a Bungie reference.

 

[super-famicom]

But weapons aren't tied to classes, so there isn't a dedicated class for sniper rifles.

Oh. I'm not really a Bungie gamer. I mean, I beat the campaigns for Halo, Halo 2, and ODST, and played Halo 2 MP for a while in university. But I never played online MP or really followed Bungie all that much, until Destiny got announced last year.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Awwwwww yeah!

Can't wait. What locations will we be able to visit in the beta?

Earth, the moon, Venus, maybe Mars?

You like the same music I like, therefore we shall play together. Add me (if ps4), my psn is quempfq.

 

[Karl Hawk]

m'Destiny, m'Lady

 

[Korben]

Do the different races have stat bonuses or are they purely cosmetic?

Bungie did not talk about any specs diffrences between races, so pure cosmetic for what we know.

So is the majority of GAF playing on PS4?

I ask because this is the kind of game I could get seriously addicted to and I obviously want to be on the winning side.

Spoiler

(the side where I'm not lonely)

PS4. Not only GAF, but the world. Even 'Murica.

It will be interesting to see what they have changed... if anything...

What changes do you want exactly ? I did not see many things to "correct" during the alpha. Maybe the ingame voice chat ?

Maybe I need more context to what it means or stands for.

It's stand for "hate it or love it, but Destiny is a great game and surely a future legendary saga. Like Halo."

Lol Warlocks gonna destroy y'all

No.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

But weapons aren't tied to classes, so there isn't a dedicated class for sniper rifles.

Yep, I realised and changed it.

 

[Twilight Gap]

The OP describes all three pretty good. What else do you want to know?

yep Dax did a good job with it, especially the classes. maybe we need some more images though for those in the blind. I have plenty of voyeuristic Hunter shots to volunteer...

 

[Bsigg12]

Trust me I tried many a times.

Can we start using soldier, magician and golden gun from now on? Pls

No. Weapons aren't tied to classes so it wouldn't work.

 

[Lakitu]

Earth, the moon, Venus, maybe Mars?

Thanks! You have good taste, I'll add you

Yesssss

Where's the video?

 

[WITHE1982]

Titan = Fighter
Hunter = Rogue/Ranger
Warlock = Wizard

That's basically how I see it.

Brawn vs Speed vs Brains

We all know who'll come out on top of that one.
