Destiny 2 Beta |OT| Garry's Mod

Eh, this could be solved by having options to search for players with you as the host so that wouldn't happen. Either way given the destiny doesn't have match making this is the way it functions now anyway. The only difference would be removing the added step of using a 3rd party app to find players.
I'm surprised more people aren't talking about the audio. I'm going to try and get some clips tonight but i'm 90% sure there is no audio for your bullets hitting stuff. i was watching the IGN video from today and I hear the gun fire and then i just see damage numbers and then there's a notification noise for eliminations.

As far as I can tell only headshot hitmarkers make a sound. This is a big downside and one of the reasons guns feel like they have no impact.

Yes. Also, they changed the kill chirp to some other sound and I cant stand it. The original kill audio notification was satisfyingly perfect. Now I can hardly tell when I get a kill.

Oh my god lol
Yeah, they fucked up hit impacts a lot and it made all the beta guns feel terrible. No clue why they'd adjust the feedback from the first game considering that was one of it's absolute best features.
I laughed.
Damn it's finally over...
Had a great time with the beta overall
I personally didn't see any real issue with the cool downs (in PVP or PVE)
I could probably count on one hand how many times I went to use an ability and was shocked it hadn't recharged yet
More supers in PVE would not be a bad thing at all though
Definitely going to grab this on XB1 and PS4 and probably PC during the holidays when I am able to build a competent PC

Interesting, in my last strike it put me on Nessus with five other people. Both teams advanced together through the strike until it got to the point where there are 25 second revives and then the other strike team phased out.
Just watched a Moreconsole video which pointed out that next to a stack of Sparrows in the Farm there were a bunch of these...
New vehicle?
Some sort of flying drone thiing?
Just Farm furniture?
Nowhere obvious for a pilot I guess.
We've seen these in a couple videos on the farm. They look like drones that carry supplies around.
Didn't get to play much of the beta due to comic con, but got through the strike one last time before the servers shutdown. I enjoyed it overall, but still didn't get that hook I got from Destiny 1 beta. I'll still be there day 1 and hope things will keep me engaged for a long time luke with D1.

The scale of these things when you're actually standing next to them doesn't make them seem viable as a vehicle.
Are you back to destiny 1 allready

I was back to D1 today night fall daybreak and weekly goodies to do mayhem clash. D2 lack of space magic has me worried all these COD PVP babies might have ruined my favorite shooter.

Dunno why people keep saying this. I feel like I got more multikills per time played in D2 beta than in D1. It's nice to have slightly longer encounters. I think I'll play Reach more until D2 comes out.In D2 you can't take on a whole group like in D1.

Beta, where millions of casuals have trouble killing dregs. I could add more to the whole D1 vs D2 thing now but some people already made up their minds about it. Even though it may be worse I'll still play it because I'm never one to let nerfs and stuff keep me from playing characters, etc. Just like in fighting games, community complains about nerfs and buffs and I just continue to play the same characters despite.

In the end, beta dropped my hype from 10 to maybe 7.
Reeeeally hoping that day 1 patch is as loaded as Destiny 1's was.

Beta and subsequent news has sent my hype from an 8.5 to around a 9.5.
I'm nearly in D1 levels of pre-release hype: it's nigh on dangerous.

My hype is probably at a 3 now. I'm still gonna buy it though even if I say I won't.
Hoping to hear about a slew of changes being made to the launch game after experiencing the awful tuning of this beta.
Unless they never come because Bungie is historically stubborn as fuck. I still get upset whenever I remember their defense of Halo 2 SMG starts on B.net weekly update posts and forum posts.

So there's a day one patch for D2?
He's talking about D2.
Double Donut

Oh.
Well I just assume there'll be a day one patch considering that's the usual with modern day AAA titles.
Especially given D2 is an always-online game.

I'm 6 out of 10 hype points.
Beta is over and now I wait.
The game felt fantastic so far. I'm just hoping for a couple fixes:
- Raise power ammo drops in PvE
- Speed up the cool down on abilities a bit.
Hopefully they start going into more detail on other features soon. Minor ones, like whether or not there will be multiple d-pad equip slots for emotes, if ammo synths are still a thing and if there are any other nice quality of life updates like optional matchmaking for missions or future arena modes.

Some of my friends who never played D1 played the beta and thought it was awesome.
If they only truly knew what they had missed in D1.
I'm glad it's getting new people to try it though.

The beta is over.
I mean, there's still time. The Collection is like $40 and there's a ton of content to last up until D2.

Oh....huh.....I didnt have the chance to see the farm
Farm was only for one hour on the 23rd anyway.

Of course there will be.

Yeah, they won't bite. They will wait.
Wow, waited until the last day to make a Titan and man do regret it! If hunter and warlock underwhelmed me during the beta, Titan smashed through my character expectations. I only used the void shield subclass but it was incredible and more importantly fun!! Finally loved an auto rifle and hand cannon combo (exotic AR and Minuet combo with heavy shotgun). I was a D1 hunter main for life, but now I see that I'll play hunter dress up because they still look the coolest, but serious play will switch to Titan for now. Amazing job Bungie.
I have a idea.
Maybe Destiny 2 can implement the Twitch api for "user quests". This api allow the streamer to invite some subscriber to his game. To subscribe a streamer you have to pay money.
- Streamer stream himself playing videogames
- People subscribe to his channel
- Streamer invite subscribers to his game, they play raids, or osiris, they get carried
Streamers kind of already do that, but is complicate and they need to fight with a lot of menus and stuff like that, but with integration it can be a click away.
