Destiny Beta Withdrawal Thread: The Traveler's space magic is addictive.

We are all in here because we share the same pain.

The feeling of loss, since the beta ended, is indescribable

Now this feeling of loss and suffering has a name.

Destiny Separation Syndrome

Please do all you can to support your fellow Guardians of all classes in this time of crisis. Thank you

(Found this on YouTube, perfect fit for this thread hehe)

Holy moly what an over-exaggerating video. Do people genuinely find this funny?

It is just a month away from release. It would be a totally different story if they decide to push it back to 2015.
 
I really hope there's a lot of guns-- I'd hate to think of everyone grabbing the same handful of legendaries and exotics. I was kinda hoping they'd rip the procedural weapon generator off of Borderlands.

Why? The weapon's generator is not all that great to begin with because by the end of your level there were only a handfull of weapons that were great.

Sure. It was fun to grab a new revolver that spat out fire rounds, or one that had a sniping capability or more rounds in the chamber but it did absolutely nothing different in the overall damage

Eventually you reach the end of the list and that is where DLC will come into play. Just like Borderlands 2.

How do you think the Beta emblems will work?

I played on xbox as my ps4 was broken and was with sony at the time of the beta.

Do you think they'll be bungie account tied, or just to that specific platform?

Not a huge deal but I will be playing 80% of Destiny on PlayStation and love this emblem:

I'm hoping it is attached to your bungie account. Never know when you may have to switch PSN or XBOX accounts.

I know characters and content aren't cross-platform, but this seems like it could be.

When are they going to explain what those 17 cards are for?

32 days!!!

Which 17 cards are we talking about? The redacted Girmoire cards?

Yea, the 17 Grimoire cards. Wonder what they will unlock, other than Grimoire level.

If only for variety sake, even if it's mostly cosmetic. I'd love to see folks rocking tons of different, unique arsenals rather than the same few weapons.

Agree. I hope they let us use shader's on weapons for example, that could further help to differentiate people along with shader's on the armor.

Why are people still talking about a level 8 weapon (SHingen)?

I really hope we have only seen 8% of the stuff out there.

Haha, indeed. There will be a much larger variety of weapons to use at level 20 I think. And balance could change as well, auto rifles at 20 may not be as good as they were at 8. The weapon debates will be crazy.

Probably going to be playing this on the 360 until that white xbone drops. So, 360'ers out there, all 7 of you, add me.

Yes, some form of weapon editing would be nice, maybe allowing a weapon to "look" like another weapon you have, but retaining the same stats of your new weapon (transmogging in World of Warcraft/Diablo).

The shingen would be be just as effective in the regular Crucible, no matter what level other weapons are.

Doubtful. Bungie wants people to see what you've got and know what it is for certain. WoW only did Transmog much later because at that point people had entire expansions worth of Epics and in some cases Legendaries that still looked good but weren't statistically viable. This isn't really the case for Destiny. At least not at this point.

The shingen would be be just as effective in the regular Crucible, no matter what level other weapons are.

Except for the lack of mods. Stats would be fine but giving up utility through mods may not be worth it.
 
The Shingen's damage and ROF will probably hold up, but you'll be losing out on some very nice effects for the later guns. That seems like a pretty decent tradeoff to me.

Check my math for me. This guy put in more hours than anyone else on the Xbox beta. 80 hours. He played 395 crucible games. That's just over 12 minutes per game. Didn't most games last longer than 12 minutes? Did this guy have time left over to play any PvE?

Also, LikeButta played the most across PlayStation 3 and 4, with just over 82 hours played. I wonder how they're so close...

Ordered the Digital Guardian Edition today. All I need is to join a GAF clan, a bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin, and a bucket of lotion and I'm ready to go.

After playing all 3 classes to level 8 and playing a good few hours with each character at that level, I STILL cannot decide which class my first character will be.

I have seperate playstyles that would click well with all 3 classes, and I don't have a preference.

Every class has something I want, dammit!

I hope its account wide. I played the beta on 360 cause I didn't get my PS4 at the time. I just want it as a memento though, don't really want to use it.
