There two different kinds of marks in Destiny. Vanguard and Crucible marks.
Crucible marks are earned by playing PvP. You can only get 100 Crucible marks per week.
Vanguard marks... well, it was kinda grindy to get them in the beta since you need to exchange 40 pieces of materials to Vanguard quartermaster to get Vanguard marks aside from getting gold tier for your first Public Event of the day.
Who knows, maybe Bungie adjusted the way of how to get Vanguard marks in Destiny. We'll see sooner or later.
Sept 7th
FYI you could also get crucible marks by giving in 40 materials to the PVP master

Been lurking more than posting lately. When I am not lost in Sanctuary.
I went digital guardian edition and I'm gonna roll with the hunter for the knife throws and double jumping goodness!
You were also able to get crucible marks from trading in items to the Crucible Quartermaster iirc, but i don't think those counted toward your 100, or atleast they didn't in the Alpha, and i never tried in the beta. I also believe we will get Vangaurd marks from completing Nightfall Strikes, or whatever the stuff in the "Vanguard" on the Director has.

Thanks guys!
I'm really undecided on what class to pick atm. Thinking Titan. What were people's experiences with the different classes in the beta, which is looking the best?
That's pretty understandable. Guess I just need to develop that trigger finger that playing FPS MP develops and I'm fine any learning curve. Lord knows TLOU had one. It'll be fine playing with GAF anyway.
All the classes are good, its just a matter of playstyle preference really.

If you like punching things in the face and having either a giant bubble or being able to hulk/superman out: pick titan
If you like knifing people either up close or from a distance, having a golden gun, and crazy ninja knife skillz: pick hunter
If you like high-fiving enemies to death and absorbing their power, throwing giant balls of space magic to obliterate foes, or resurrecting and becoming even more powerful and just an overall badass: pick Warlock.

Why can't people wait till launch and beyond and see if Destiny will have a staying power? This thread is mostly assumptions

Is there a good description/comparison of the three classes and how they play?
All down to personal preference really as once you're leveled up and got some sweet ass gear it all just goes on your play style as stats are negligible.
I personally roll with warlock as I prefer the gliding and nova bomb abilities. That added to the fact the you become quite the indispensable healer/mage later on makes it the class for me.
Hunter has great maneuverability whilst dealing a fair amount of damage. The golden gun special and throwing knife are simply amazing in PVP.
Titan is the tank of the group. Can take a hell of a beating and come back for more. They are also the best close quarters damage dealers and, once upgraded, are devastating opponents in PVP.
IMO warlock is the better character in Single player/strikes/raids but not great in competitive MP.

Sweet OT!! Wonder when the review embargo lifts for this one.

I hate speculation threads and all threads that start with "Do you think...?" They're useless. How about you ask the developer/publisher (if it's about for a particular event/release/port or something like that) or just wait and see?
Reviewers will get the game Monday and post their reviews and impressions whenever they do.
Activision sent the game late to reviewers :/
See my post above.
Review copies arrive on the 8th, expect first impressions by midnight, reviews in progress and full reviews later in the week (hopefully before friday).

Oh wow, so I won't be expecting any reviews really before the game drops then. Cool by me though, I already know I'm going to love this.

Totally missed that, thanks.
So if I prefer not to mess with melee, sounds like Warlock is what I'll be doing. Hate jumping on what seems to be the "popular" class, but I also don't give a fuck!
If you ever played mass effect 2/3, a titan is closest to the vanguard class.

Glad to hear it.
Totally agree. Just wait 7 days

Karl, just ignore these threads. No need to stress out over NegativeGAF.

Meh I don't need a review for this game. TBH these days I don't need to check a review in order to buy a game, most of the time I check them after, just to see if my impressions are similar to the ones of others out there. At the end of the day it all comes down to personal preference for me, I know what I am getting into before I buy a game. In Destiny's case we had an alpha and beta so we even got to try the game out. You like it, buy it. You don't, skip it.

You're right. I should ignore those threads from now on.
Sometimes I go into those threads out of morbid curiosity and immediately wish I hadn't.

I worry about your blood pressure with some of GAFs Destiny threads, lol.You're right. I should ignore those threads from now on.

I think the most important component in choosing a class is their jump style. You have a choice between two supers, but you will use your jump more often and there's no alternative choice.
I prefer the Warlock glide because of the distance and height it can reach.

Hahaha some people in that thread are saying they'll trade it in after a month. At this point I'm not even angry, it's hilarious

Not all good sir! everyone calls me my real name or Marvel in-game anyway.Hope you don't mind referring you as Alex while playing Destiny together.
My psn is dreadful.
That's not crazy, or hilarious at all. Some people will pump in 6+ hours a day every day and see all the content.
It's the same with MMO launches. People play these games like jobs and rush to end game. If there's not enough difficult or compelling content there to keep them playing, why not trade it in when the value is high?
It's also a bit annoying lol, people can't make up their minds. Either stick with being uninterested (which is completely fine), or stop being swayed by every piece of news that gets released.

Why? The game is exactly the same on last gen.
A fair point, but most of the people who are posting in these threads aren't posing their responses in that context. It's more like "wow late review copy release, GG, going to return ASAP".

I see your point, but saying those things a week before the game is released is what I find crazy. You haven't seen all the content yet! If you play the game for a week and dislike it, then I can understand.

My beard is ready!

Hey, not saying that I agree with them or anything, but there are a bunch of those people out there. And I don't think those people are 100% locked into trading it in. The few I read were like 'that's my plan' or 'I think I'll do the same'. Also, people might just play this for the story or missions. When they're done with those, and have no interest in whatever end game or PVP content this game has, they better trade it in!
Hell, I might trade it in after a month, but I doubt it. We'll see how it pans out, but my plans right now, from everything I've read, lead me to believe I won't.
