Support NeoGAF

[Jest Chillin]

my god, so it's true? Peter Dinklage is the narrator in this game? instant buy. after seeing some gameplay, i'm in love with this game. But can you play it in singeplayer like a normal singleplayer game or will it be to hard to play alone?

But i'm hoping of course that i'll be playing with you guys ^^

The Explore stuff can be done solo. The group stuff will automatically match you to other players if you don't have a pre-made Fireteam (party) ready to go.

 

[Llyrwenne]

I thank you for the suggestion. But I wouldnt even care if I'm admin or not.

I and some people like the idea of having a group dedicated to one console. Easier to manage and all that stuff.

But again, when the game releases, we'll be able to make sub-groups within the main DestinyGAF group, thus eliminating the 'issue' that your group is the 'solution' to.

Again, I appreciate your honest effort, but I honestly don't get why this discussion is taking so long.

EDIT:

Edit: think about it like this.

in School, why do we have four 5th grade classes? because the classes are too big, the school system divide them between all the 5th grade teachers so the kids are easier to manage.

That what Im proposing. That me, Jburton, heck even Raven if he wanted to can help PS4 GAF, and other people can lead PS3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One GAF.

There's already a DestinyGAF school, which will be able to be divided into platform-related classes at launch. You now put up a different school, called 'DestinyGAF PS4' up right next to this existing school, causing confusion as to what school is the one you should go to.

There does seem to be a heavy "end game" focus that requires more than 1 player. There looks to be loads of solo content but there also seems to be loads of content that has the game drawing in more players to do it.

Well the video posted one or two pages ago stated you can split a single massive group into multiple smaller clans. So we have a huge "DestinyGAF" group which is then divided into "PS4", "XONE" and so on. It is basically the same solution?

EDIT: And I'm sure that as soon as these smaller clans have been created inside a group, you can set several members to be admin of just a smaller clan and not the whole group.

are you going to make sub groups of the sub groups when it come to time zone as well?

i PM Raven. he havent responded yet. waiting on his thought.

As I said, some people also like the idea of having a dedicated group. So we have supporters on both sides.

 

[Jonesy7707]

Well I'm fucking confused.

On bungie.net a DestinyGAF search only brings up the PS4 DestinyGAF group so what is the other one named as? A direct link takes you to it but you can't actually search for it.

 

[The Librarian]

Unfounded? I will bet my left pinky toe that Mecury is nowhere in the game.

There's basis off the map footage shown in the latest E3 trailer. Also, has nothing to do with game design, more to do with disappointment of lack of content. (One raid, cut planets)

Yes, unfounded. You're saying Destiny is having a "nightmarish development cycle" based on...what? And why are you saying that? Things get cut from games all the time, even with games that have smooth development cycles (look at Halo 3).

To be clear, I'm taking issue with your "game must've had a nightmarish development cycle" when you don't know anything. And you don't. You're basically spouting nonsense for whatever reason.

The hype is real.

Probably possible. If it isn't possible, put it in the OT; it's stuff that we need to collect from the users here on GAF anyways, so putting it in the OT is no more effort than creating a subgroup for it.

As I said, some people also like the idea of having a dedicated group. So we have supporters on both sides.

Again, this will be perfectly possible in a single 'DestinyGAF' group, without having to rely on several separate groups with different tags. Please just stop this denial.

[The_Hitcher89]

I'll let someone else tell him, I can't break his heart like that




Can you have 2 players in a Fireteam joined by 1 Random on the map btw?

Can you swap inventory items with other players, especially on the fly?

Can you join a Fireteam with a Random, so you move with them after finishing your task, without adding them as a Friend?

the explore stuff can be done solo as mentioned but i believe there are also "campaign" missions that are your traditional campaign/story mode. someone correct me if i am wrong.

This is the Official DestinyGAF Clan for NeoGAF. I hid it from public before to avoid random dudes/girls joining. But, since we have no caps, I'm opening the floodgates now.

[benny_a]

It's not unfounded, but I won't get into where I received my information about the development of this game.

You might have to if you're going to pull the insider card. Not to me, but to the guy that weeds out the bullshitters.

 

[darkwing]

does the PSN have any pre-order bonuses?

Ah it was hidden, makes sense now. Thanks

Yeah, see, this is even worse. Why bother saying anything at all if you can't prove it?

Let's not go any further about this please, you clearly tried to pick a bone from a post that was 10 pages ago, because I don't see Bungie as this infallible developer, as evidence of Halo 2.

My ultimate point was that I was disappointed to see that seemingly a lot of content has been cut from Destiny and that you have to wonder how development went over the course of four years.

Where is the proof to prove your point about content being cut though ?

Hmm, lots of drama about the clan the last few pages.

Confusion aside it's lovely to see this thang grow.

Honestly, I'd hold off on any clan/group stuff until we're a lot closer to release. But that's just me.

 

[Vire]

I sad seemingly.

Here's a screenshot of the current map shown in the trailer that came out last week:

At E3 2013, Mercury and Saturn were mentioned as destinations. In addition to the Old Chicago, Europa (Jupiter's moon) concept art that was made.

Obviously, those places aren't seen in the latest map, but who knows. I'd love to be wrong about it and have more content.

 

[The English Conquistador]

Would've been a lot better if Nathan Fillion was the narrator to be honest.

 

[BRocknRolla]

Let's not go any further about this please

Says the person who pulled the insider card to defend their statements, and now doesn't want to get into it?

I've got zero opinion on whether development was troubled, but I believe this sort of thing is frowned upon.

I only saw all of this today, but yeah... Definitely going to wait for the dust to settle before getting involved.

I said I regret making that statement, it was a stupid comment to make in the heat of an argument.

My hope is that there wasn't a lot of cut content from the game and that things went smoothly. But from the looks of the map, I don't know what to think... and the firing of Marty / Leaving of Joe Staten doesn't shine a particularly bright picture even if they had absolutely nothing to do with development.

 

[veloxStrix]

Anyways, I just spent an hour trying to find the thread, but I KNOW I read somewhere something akin to:

~"We just brought in a clan of seasoned FPS players to test out our raid. They came out 14 hours later with their tails between their legs~"


Not sure if raids are 14 hours long or whether they did it multiple times or what, but it sounds promising no matter what. Assuming this raid is the "Vault of Glass" raid.

Marty left over pay issues, if you believe the reddit "Bungie employee".

Staten left to pursue his own projects. From what I've heard, he left a substantial amount of material for the next few games. I believe he said he left because he felt his part was done and it was time to move. Not going to quote until I can find the article.

ALSO - I'm already in the Alpha clan, not sure if that carries over or what.

Add me into the new one, please? PSN is Catfax.

I get your point, it would be nice to have some clarity about the amount of content we can expect.
Cause if we're looking at about 4x old Russia, I'd be disappointed.

 

[Marvel]

"That Wizard came from the Moon" line wouldn't have been as amusing in his voice though heh.

 

[Vire]

Mars is definitely my most anticipated destination that I want to visit. The rolling sand dunes glimmering in the sun remind me of the relaxing moments I had with Journey.

Except on an even grander and larger scale.

Somehow got made an admin for the DestinyGAF clan - will be adding people all day tomorrow when i wake back up.

I think I'd be okay with that, a bit disappointed, but it's what I'm expecting at this point.

I'm more disappointed in the fact that it has definitely been confirmed that there is one singular raid.

Careful, you're assuming again!

Did you read what I said? I said even if they had nothing to do with development, it has been tumultuous recently at Bungie with the firing of Marty and the lawsuit that has followed.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

I can't imagine it would be that small... there's no way. I'm sure Bungie is still trying to keep some things a secret as to not spoil some surprises etc.

 

[Number45]

Well I'm fucking confused.

They both show for me when I search.

Then why even say it at all? Honestly, it just reads like you're trying to say Destiny's development has been hell by going the, "I'm not saying anything but here's what I'm saying" route.

 

[Vire]

.

For what it's worth, if Joe wrote the line "the wizard came from the moon", maybe it is time to move on to different things...

I blame the writing and dialogue more than Dinklage for the recent uproar over the voice acting.

 

[Fonds]

I can't imagine it would be that small... there's no way. I'm sure Bungie is still trying to keep some things a secret as to not spoil some surprises etc.

At the moment the areas listed are Earth, The Moon, Venus and Mars.
And for some reason I haven't seen the locations of Mumbai and Chicago mentioned in ages anymore. So I'm doubtful of them making it into the game.

Game still rocks, don't get me wrong. But it might be a bit smaller than initially teased.
