I don't care for the pointer-based UI navigation, since we're on consoles, not PC. I'm not really sure why they went that route. All I've done is the intro, which was rather bland, as would be expected for the introductory level. Going to play more in a few, see what's different.
Totally non-issue for me.Maybe they did it like that so they can port it to PC easily? I don't mind the cursor thing personally.
The factions are crucible based I believe and require crucible points and rank. The vanguard merchant and the class specific merchant accept PvE points (vanguard marks).Seems like a lot of the game will be post level 20 grinding for specific factions to earn more favour from them to get legendary gear. Which I am OK with as long as they release more expansions and story elements down the line in say 3-6 months.
Not sniper rifles, they use scout rifles.Rolled a Warlock. Level 6, so far seems pretty fun. Not sure how well it will work in the 6v6 pvp. Tried it out, seems like just a bunch of people with sniper rifles. Guess I'll have to grab one.
And PSN is down D: What the F Sony? Again?
Was playing the destiny beta on xb1... went 6v6... and was murdered with one hit kills repeatedly. What the fuck? How does one get one hit kills? Controlling the character via control pad versus using a kb/mouse really sucks hard. PC Games 4 lyf3 d4wg. All hail our god GabeN.
Not really about Destiny itself, but do any of you use an iPad to visit Bungie.net and use the things there? A really bad experience for me... Things don't load properly, they're slow, can't really use the notifications that good or navigate the whole place... This is rather unacceptable in 2014 to have a site not usable on a tablet... Not to mention the companion app is only for the phones...
I can't even login to PSN to play the beta ;-)Haha. Well, the whole point of the beta is to stress the game and expose weak points so that they can fix them before release. Whether or not you actually get to see all available beta content is secondary.

A lot of people reporting it's down for them too. Could be the US one is up and the rest of the world is down.Must be your region because I'm logged in on North America

Whatever it was, it's running againCould be...I don't know if it's North America or just US and Canada is separate or what.
Well, the MP in Destiny seems full of people who act elitist. People are actually making posts on other forums telling people to stop playing if they suck and such. Its pretty bad. The problem is thatsome people are probably misunderstanding the MP. Aside from iron banner mode, your level and stats don't mean anything. So bcause the guy on your team was level 5 it shouldnt matter that much. Only your abilities and modifiers on your equipment matter. Say you have an auto rifle with 62atk and increased accuracy when firing from the hip. Only the firing from the hip bonus is in effect and your base atk is nerfed to create an even playing field. So it all comes down to skill. You have to keep playing to get better but there are people who are not that good in PvP and get ridiculed by their own team mates because they don't have a high k/d. That makes it not fun to play for people.
Some people who say the MP sucks don't realize these facts. Plus I have read that the game likes to start with uneven teams fairly often and that makes people drop out. Also some people have found weapons that shoot very fast and that eats through the opponent quickly. I am sure bungie will fix it since they expect people to play it to gain crucible rewards.
Yeah I figured some of these players just had a good combo of weapons. When the game actually gets released I will have to pay a lot of attention to set up for MP. I noticed I had better luck while sniping but something about the other rifles I have I don't like.
I know Bungie will adjust some of this stuff for the final release so I think they will get it as balanced as they can.
So far auto rifles and scout rifles are the weapons of choice in PvP, with a shotgun being useful for venus and a sniper rifle more useful for the moon.
