Is the game out yet?

Nope, back into the freezer you go!

 

[super-famicom]

Women are more than just butts, sir!

It's easier to tell if you're a female when you're a hunter.

New avatar, Dax?

 

[Simo]

When the beta is released I'm going to soak it up as much as I can due to the realization my wife booked our vacation to England in September, so I won't be home when the game launches.

Spoiler

Yeah seeing family after 6 years is good and all that but fucking Destiny man!

Divorce .. clearly there are irreconcilable differences

 

[SkullHydra]

Don't worry, that's why we'll able to use Armour Shaders to change the colour

Spoiler

I hope...

Wait, this isn't confirmed already??

[SnakeEyes]

The Armour Shaders are confirmed yes, but since they weren't available in the alpha people have no idea to what extent they'll alter the colour of a piece of gear.

 

[ced]

It's Warlock's final jump upgrade.

I thought that was hunter's?

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Just waiting you guys

New avatar, Dax?

Old avatar, actually. Same woman.

 

[Nicko]

The best video you can watch for anything Destiny is this video, Destiny - What We Know So Far. It's about 40 minutes long, but it's the most comprehensive collection of info out there so far. Other videos on the same channel are quite good for specific stuff too.

Thanks so much, and to the post right after yours! I will definitely check this out tonight to help ease the pain

Wasn't saying because of the butt but because of the smaller frame.

:O

I find myself clicking on the alpha hoping someone accidentally flipped the switch back on... Halp men!

Seriously, I need more of this.

I honestly can't tell from that angle.

Don't be ashamed my friend. I've done this already... More than once...

Male:

Female:

You can clearly see this last one is the female titan but looking at from behind, waist, arms, shoulders, etc are smaller.

[veloxStrix]

My personal rankings on classes:

Sex Appeal:
Warlock best looking outfits.
Hunter close second.
Titan Third.

Most useful in co-op:
Titan when Bubble shield is obtained.
Hunter.
Warlock.

Best in MP PvP:
Hunter tied with Titan. When Titan gets that shield I feel both will be quite useful.
Warlock sucks in MP. I stomp them all day 'ereday. Worst Super charge, and glide is a joke.

How does GAF feel ? (Spoiler Alert I was most amped to play a Warlock. Found the class sucked, and swapped to Titan for rest of alpha, and will go that route for Beta and release)

Warlock can buff the fireteam in PvE, I think that makes them the best. Glide is amazing, if only to float over a doorway while an opponent comes in. I got three or four Overkills with the super as well.

Edit: I think, based off of how much favoritism each class has, that each class is extremely well balanced.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

The Armour Shaders are confirmed yes, but since they weren't available in the alpha people have no idea to what extent they'll alter the colour of a piece of gear.

Or whether or not they're locked behind a certain level. All the ones I saw in Alpha required level 20.

For those of you who haven't voted yet. Please go to Bungie.net DestinyGAF group and vote on the Lurkers Thread. Thank you

And forgive me Valentinus for neglecting my admin duties the past 2 days. Gabe got me by the wallet and he won't be letting me go until the 30th.

 

[Raptor]

Okay?

I'm not making any case here at all you were the one that said Hunter was the official female looking one and in the cover the female is the Titan and you can't get more official than the cover art that is all Im not trying to argue silly shit like this just that you were mistakenly favoring your prefered class.

But whatever.

Okay?

Wait...what?

Dude, all I said was that one of the things that drew me to the Hunter class was that I felt like it best conveys the features of women. Titans and Warlocks have a lot more armor and makes it harder to tell. I never said anything about what's official for the game or whatever.

Where in the world did you get all that from?

Dude. Punctuation.

And I don't think Dax meant anything. Or at least, not as much as you seemed to take away.

Let's not start a gender war people! I'm still reeling from the DestinyGAF/DestinyGafPS4 debacle... @_@

I read your post wrong, I apologize.

The way I read it and understood made no sense whatsoever.

So, what kinda booze is everyone gonna be drinking come launch day or weekend?

J.W. Dundees Honey Brown will be my choice.

No booze for me but I fear for my local Dr. Pepper supplier. I'm gonna be on an IV.

Dude, I could float the Titanic on the amount of Bud Light I drank in my twenties. Definately, my favorite domestic beer.

Why did Humanity in its Golden Age drive clown cars? Those cars were tiny in Old Russia.

If you are going to get cheap beer, you might as well get Yuengling...

 

[Daximuss]

I've honestly never heard of Yuengling.

 

[Raptor]

No such brand here, is budweiser, budlights, coors, heinekens, tecates, coronas, modelos, etc.

I like Bud light because they don't give me hangovers like other brands, I could drink a 12 pack and after a 3 hour sleep Im like nothing happened.

Damn that sucks, where do you guys live?

Yuengling is huge here all along the east coast of the US. Probably the best cheap beer you can get, I'm not saying it's amazing or anything, but it's certainly more tolerable than Bud Light.

Louisville, KY here.

NEast TAM, Mex.

 

[Vire]

Louisville, KY here.

I just looked it up, it's only distributed in these states - so that would explain it:

AL DE DC FL GA MA MD NC NJ NY OH PA SC TN VA WV

For some reason I thought it was more common place than that, just because I see it absolutely everywhere here in South Florida. If you ever find yourself in one of those states, I guess give it a shot.

Anyway, sorry to derail Destiny hype talk.

Convincing scale in video games, especially in first person games, is extremely hard to accomplish.

 

[epiksol]

I've honestly never heard of Yuengling.

Yuengling is literally the oldest operating brewery in the United States, thereby making it the oldest domestic beer here. It was founded in 1829.

I've actually read that his has made developing VR games that much more difficult.

 

[loldrums]

I'm leaning towards playing Titan for my 'main.' I learned back in TimeSplitters that you can't beat raw health in a shooter. Of course, you couldn't jump in TS...

Classes in Destiny have a lot more separating them than their base stats. The question I have, are the stats particularly meaningful? Were you noticeably more tanky as a Titan? Does the extra health help when you're taking headshots? I'm mainly referring to PvP.

 

[SnakeEyes]

Convincing scale in video games, especially in first person games, is extremely hard to accomplish.

Also, as seen by the trailers, the Fallen LOVE standing on them. So there's that too.

So, what kinda booze is everyone gonna be drinking come launch day or weekend?

Probably some Asahi, if I'm not drinking Pepsi Max or Dr. Pepper. My alcohol intake has gone down in in the last few years - I blame my old age (I turn 30 in December.)
