Just lost by 5 points, dem feels

 

[rdrr gnr]

Playing PvP with a party of 4 if anyone wants in. PSN is Monsterfracas_

I'll take an invite.

Edit: I sent you an invite letting you know, just invite me after your match ends.

 

[unempLLOYD]

Got to play in the new map(s) but I completely backed out quicker than a speeding bullet so I don't end up getting bored when the full game comes out.

 

[Ramirez]

Nights are being ruined in this party.

 

[Portugeezer]

The two worst players on the team get the Legendary hand cannon (one also gets glass shards) and I'm second on the team and get nothing...

I came second and got 2 items. Maybe I am special.

 

[Altima]

I'm bad with pvp and I think complete random loot system is fine.

People who perform good at PvP already has advantage at bounty quest.

 

[constantstatic]

You get 25 per win. Nothing for losses. I've got my titan sash and emblem, but it's BS that I didn't get a single purple and I've been top 2 every win.

The guy on the bottom of my list just got a rare ship. Worst player in the lobby gets best loot=broken.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Bounties for Iron seem to be broken right now.

this. did my first iron bounty, top scorer, winner team, 28 kills the most in the game, second and third place got the shit

also i got dropped, is it down right now??

 

[GringoSuave89]

Isn't the loot system the same as CSGO?

 

[reptilescorpio]

Spreading the loot keeps people interested. I can understand that.

 

[Icyflamez96]

This

Hand Cannon? That's the only thing I haven't seen called OP. And the pulse rifles too now that I think about it.

I typically like hand cannons in games. What's the issue with Destiny's?

 

[jwk94]

okay guys I'm lost
how do I chat in this game?
I'm using my PS Camera to chat but no one hears me?

---
what's Autolook Centering?
and what's the Voice Output thing? set to Blended or?

You can only chat with people who are in your Fireteam.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Cancelled my limited edition. Still have my $40 pre-ordered going so I'm still gonna play it.

Bungie has no excuses as to this game not being 60fps as it doesn't look good at all.

 

[MrTexor]

I have 30 Destiny Beta codes. But they only work for NA and Europe people. the codes are for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. I'm thinking of PM it privately or do a Modbot raffle.

I would love an xbox one, willing to trade for a PS4 one

 

[Icyflamez96]

Well in my opinion it's the reload time and it can be kind of hard to aim with. It's powerful enough though.

They have the smallest magazine size of anything but snipers and shotguns so the amount of damage you can do between reloads is pretty limited.

Bleh that sucks... Good to know, thanks.

 

[MomoPufflet]

When you're getting hit it can be really damn confusing which side it's coming from, the red markers on screen aren't very clear

Glad it's not just me. Compared to Battlefield 4 for example it's very tough to tell in the heat of battle. When I'm getting shot in BF4 I can tell instantly where they're shooting from (weird to compare this game to BF4 but in this specific case it applies).

 

[Crimson_Gold]

How many matches do you have to win to get your rank to go up? I am still terrible at PvP. I'll be almost strictly pve lol

 

[therealminime]

Anyone know what "Glass Shards" do? Just got some.

 

[ShinMaruku]

PVP faction rep.

 

[Portugeezer]

I feel like there is too much special ammo available in multiplayer, I mean, it's not special really if you always have plenty.

 

[SnakeEyez]

Looks like Iron Banner is back up. Maybe this time I'll actually get something.

 

[chewydogg]

This

Destiny is balanced, confirmed.

 

[MrDaravon]

To be fair I've been playing on PS3 all day and it looks pretty fucking awful graphically. Like, really really bad, nowhere close to the footage I've been watching of the game up to now from the PS4 version. If the game wasn't as good as it goddamn is I wouldn't touch it.

 

[Nyteshade517]

thanks Raishin for the IB invite tonight..after the first match it kicked me out and wouldn't let me join again

 

[blamite]

Next game we juuuuust barely eke out the victory at the last moment, and I top the entire match scoreboard, and nobody on my team gets any drops. :/

I kind of feel like that's to be expected at this point. If you have the last gen version of the game, you're really just buying it to have it. Bungie/Activision want has much sales as possible. And I'm saying this as a Xbox 360 user that, come Wednesday, I will be in the same boat griping about how shit it looks.

 

[constantstatic]

The warlock seems to have the best special. I love my golden gun but the warlock basicly has a free rocket launcher. The area of affect needs nerfed you should atleast be able to jump away from it.

 

[mercenar1e]

is there a door to get in for the Iron Banner event before participating? or do i just jump to it and play?

 

[Tokubetsu]

I only have a ps3 right now (I'll probably be getting an xbone for this because friends) but it looks better than I expected on last gen hardware.

Definitely agree. Especially in PvP it's amazing.

 

[Dre_G_Writer]

WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW

Loot chest is the best way at the moment. When your wondering around, listen very carefully, each chest has a glishering sounds like the spin metal. When you hear it, that means there's a chest near by, check inside caves too, they are mostly in there.

 

[Forceatowulf]

YES! GOT MY IRON BANNER CLOAK!

come fuck wit cha boy

 

[DNAbro]

jump in and play, the rewards are in the behind area of the tower though.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I aint got nuthin yet.

Yeah, I'm really enjoying the game (other than PvP) but constantly am reminded of how terrible it looks even 10+ hours in. If it wasn't for the ability to move your character from PS3 to PS4 I'd honestly just recommend that people hold out and wait until you get a current-gen console.

I am curious if the 360 version will wind up maybe looking slightly better since Bungie has way more experience with that console though.

 

[RunningRiot]

One of my teammates got a purple rarity ship from Iron Banner. So jealous.

 

[El_Fenomeno]

What time does IB event end?

 

[kittens]

Anyone have a link that describes the available skill trees in the beta?

 

[XenoRaven]

I feel like it's everyone's mission in life to knock the balloon off the cliff.

 

[wilflare]

You can only chat with people who are in your Fireteam.

are they automatically added when they enter your instance?

 

[Icyflamez96]

Do you guys think that loot drops aren't completely random? I mean, of course they're not, but I mean... Lemme explain.

Throughout the course of my adventures, I've gotten various "Scapel Wing" armor for my warlock. Considering there is actually a good chunk if usable loot you can find in the beta, I think it's more than a coincidence that I keep finding armor of the same name. I think it does that purposely so it can make it easier to match your guardian.

 

[Some Nobody]

listen friend, its not every day you can make a black guy in a game and not have him look like one of those racist colonialist caricatures of a brotha. I'm embracing this rare moment in video game history.

True story.

Spoiler

I still made an alien tho.

 

[Santiako]

Got my titan sash. Yay

 

[Smiles and Cries]

so what will players be able to keep during the beta to launch?

I am not able to play since I pre-ordered a White PS4 bundle so I will have to wait this is also the first FPS that I am forcing myself to invest time into I did not enjoy the first COD I played

 

[Forceatowulf]

edit

 

[DNAbro]

I got my emblem now so I'm satisfied. Got over 800 glimmer in 20 minutes.

It was the same for me, but I think they could also just be limiting stuff in the beta, why spoil it now? I also noticed sometimes the same armour sometimes has better stats, which is a nice touch too.
