man could u have imagined if this game come out this month..... the thirst would be so real. I could see the game selling 15 million in a half a month
Yo guys, I spotted an error in the Hunter class banner I made for the beta OT. Don't worry, I've fixed it;
Warlock 4ever!

Every class can use every weapon. The only difference is that each class has different foci, each with a different super ability, different type of double jump ability, and different types of upgrades for each class. Hunters are faster but squishy, Titans are slower but more durable, Warlocks regen health faster than the others 2.

Speaking of which, the Beta OP is essentially done. I just need some specific information about it that Bungie should release leading up to it.
Guys, I want to play as Titan. Someone stop me!

Can't wait.
You and I were discussing being Warlocks the other day, but I feel the same. I'm not sure yet whether I'm going Warlock or Titan. Still leaning toward Warlock.

Hunters are the Han Solo of the Destiny universe. They have that cloak swag. And a double jump that can upgrade to a triple jump. And a gun made out of pure gold.

Hunter is where it's at, yo.
Yay, can't wait.

You could in the Alpha and I doubt they would change that moving forward.

Which could be change to something called an "arc blade" if you have a different focus for the Hunter class.

Hello,
NeilJD on Bungie.net and one of the admins. Just been catching up on what I've missed as I've been away this weekend and HOLY CHRIST what a weekend to miss!
A bit over the top and mental but I'm glad it's all sorted and we're on track for the beta as a team!

Golden gun or light saber knife? Decisions, decisions.
Ok, so there won't be upgrade paths that grants class bonuses to specific weapons? I kinda wished they would make some weapons more usable to certain classes. Like snipers for Hunters and LMG's for Titans.

I just want to be a titan and be able to throw that knife!
Who needs a throwing knife when you knee-punch or shoulder-punch or even using fist of havoc on your enemies like a real fucking badass?

Anyone have any experience with playing destiny on their Vita? Been researching all day on getting a Vita, PS TV, or a capture card (to my laptop) to do remote play from my bedroom.

Dax,
I can't wait too. It's only been a week? oh...
I say who cares about guns and knives when you've got SPACE MAGIC!?
Serious mode: I think the various supers that we haven't been able to try yet will be very interesting to see. Titan has the shield, Hunter has Arc Blade and Warlock has Blink, is that right? Will we get to see the new Supers in the beta, or will the beta have the same level cap as the alpha?
Same here. Female Exo Titan it is. I don't expect many people to play that combo so I'm gonna be somewhat of a space hipster.
I love the risk/reward playstyle that the class encourages. Titans trigger health regen and reduced ability cooldowns when they land powerful melee attacks and things like that. It's also awesome that you punch enemies with your firsts, doing so much damage that they vanish into thin air.
I also think Titans will become very valuable later on in the game when they unlock the shield abilities that allies can hide behind.

Just the three. Remember this isn't a "holy trinity" kind of game. Pretty much everyone is DPS.

As far as I remember, Blink isn't a super, it's a jump ability that you upgrade on the jump ability skill tree. It's the last in that skill tree, though.
I think the super called Radiance(?) is the second one of the super abilities for Warlock. Supposedly, it's used to buff your teammates abilities.

You're right about everything except Warlock. Warlock's Blink is a jump upgrade. Warlock's other super is a buff, which I think I'm going to end up running instead of nova bomb, as long as the duration isn't stupid, like 10 seconds or something.

I'm not really looking for it to meet the typical MMO classes. Since it is a coop game, I wish they had classes that encouraged better coop play though. Looking at how Warframe handles classes makes Destiny look a bit anemic in that regard. Hopefully they add new classes throughout the game's/franchises' lifespan.

How do you get a melee attack which electrifies and throws the enemy like that, and does it damage other enemies who get hit by said enemy?
Can someone clarify the Titan's shield?
Watching this 30-second Titan Class Trailer @ 26 seconds you see the Titan drop down from a jump and then throw up what looks like a large all-encompassing defensive shield.
But when you read though the Titan's upgrade skills HERE the Juggernaut upgrade is the only reference to a shield and it makes it seem like it's a shield only when or after sprinting.
Have I missed something? Maybe the trailer footage is from a newer build where the Titan gets additional abilities, or maybe it's his other subclass?
EDIT: Nevermind, it's most likely their Defender specialization as it's description says: "Shape Void Light into an indestructible shield to protect you and your allies from harm." Duh.

He is using the Striker subclass with Titan which revolves around using the fists. The melee attack is called Storm First and it gives a bonus damage each time it activates. If you kill enemies with it they will vanish into thin air.

I didn't watch the video but Warlock's melee skill is called Energy Drain and if it kills an enemy, they disintegrate into blue particles. That melee skill is on a fairly short cooldown.
Edit: Beaten, and what Tekku said too^
Whoops, you guys are right. Looked it up, and as far as I can see, this is what we know of right now:
Titan
Fist of Havoc ( Hulk smash )
Shield ( Protect allies and self )
Hunter
Golden Gun ( OSK Hand Cannon )
Arc Blade ( OHK wide area melee )
Warlock
Nova Bomb ( AOE OHK Void projectile )
Radiance ( Homing Solar projectile barrage + revive and buff allies and self )
Solar Flare ( Solar grenade with continuous AOE damage )
Destiny Beta | OT | SPACE MAGIC ( from the Moon ).
it makes the best class IMO

Huh, I didn't know that Radiance also had a damaging part to it. Makes me lean toward that even more.
Any footage of Radiance? It's the one ability that makes me interested in Warlocks.
harrypmgaga
Member
In some of the recent b-roll footage you can see the Radiance revive in action.
Very small clip towards the end of this Vidoc in the Super montage; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1OjUWw43co
And upon looking through the sources on the wiki that said it also did projectiles, I can't find anything to support that claim, so it might just be only the buff and revive after all.

We can't ignore the hunter second subclass and how awesome it seems. Especially with the blink jump movement.
AmethystEnd
Member
Err...it's not mainly a revive. That would be a stupid main function for a super since you can revive teammates regularly. The main point is the buff, which we don't know the function of. For all we know, it could be 100% increased damage for 30 seconds. How would it be in PvP then?
I know it won't be as ridiculous as 100% increased damage.

From what I've seen in the Hunter's upgrade screen in the alpha, no. The upgrades are for your jump, melee, super, and class stats (toughness, speed, health). It's possible that some legendary guns may have bonuses that help out a specific class, but nothing has been confirmed. The stats/bonuses that Uncommon and above guns/armor have are non-class specific.
Such bonuses include:
+Strength (reduce melee cooldown)
+Intelligence (reduce super cooldown)
+Discipline (reduce grenade cooldown)
throw grenades farther
carry more ammo for a certain gun type (auto rifle, pulse rifle, etc)
reload certain gun types faster
These are the ones I've encountered in the alpha. There might be more that Bungie hasn't shown us yet.

I'm glad for this. I'd hate to fall completely in love with a weapon that my chosen class was gimped for.
