if the story missions don't amount to like 30 and the strike content isn't at least 20 then this game will be garbage. I remember at one time there were only like 6 or 7 strikes on the "official playlist" for Destiny 1 (the older ones never got put into the "official" playlists at higher difficulties) and thinking "what a rotten loving deal."

I think you are forgetting that Destiny shipped with 6 strikes. 5 if you were on the bone.

It was pretty loving bad. But at least PvP worked back then.

I think the full game is going to be a little different to the beta build. I think weapons will go up a little and cool downs will go down a little.

I hope they adjust the match making slightly but I doubt it.

I won't ever get tired of the pvp tears about facing teams in "competitive" mode though. Like lol what did you expect?

Gonna roll a warlock tonight and see how that plays.

lmao at people still acting like being good at destiny pvp is anything to be proud about, you where top dog at one of the shittiest, most broken unbalanced piles of poo poo ever to be called competitive, good for you I guess? no wonder the crying is so rampant, you lack the crutches and suddenly realize how trash you actually are.

btw, 10/10 bungie on making the hunter worthless garbage in pve, the one thing you fixed after about a year is now an issue again.

"So we have the titan here, hes got this barricade thingy he can drop, the warlock can drop rifts to heal or empower"

For PVE, I dont see anyone using any SMGs or sidearms when the game launches. Pulse/HC/Auto/Scout are just so much more versatile. I haven't spent a lot of time testing everything though.

SMGs were destroying poo poo in PVP within their shotgun-esque range they kinda feel like full auto sidearms.

That exotic SMG warlocks get during the opening is pretty great, especially since all the cabal grunts do arc damage. That thing just dumps.

This has probably been asked before, but does Destiny play differently on PS4 than it does on Xbone? I've been playing on Xbox for a while, and when I checked out the beta on PS4 yesterday it felt a lot more floaty and.. I guess "bouncy" is the closest word I can think of to describe it. I figured this was just a change they made for the sequel but I just played through the beta story mission on Xbox and it's exactly what I'm used to.

Maybe my PS4 controller is hosed up.

I'm hopeful that a lot of the stuff can be tweaked, like TTK and cooldowns, but the inherent 'slowness' of the game now feels weird coming from the frenetic energy of destiny 1.

also, in-air accuracy is so bad, woof.

for those complaining about starter weapons, the classes all start with different weapons. imo the titan has the best starting package of weapons, warlocks had the worst.

Doesn't the warlock start with the nergal? That's the best pvp gun for sure

Hey let's try this out, I got a code



4v4 is absolutely going to turn into a shitshow unless they dial up the sbmm to 11, where it will be another shitshow. 4 coordinated dudes can absolutely wipe the floor with the higher ttk and lack of abilities. I never even got super.

This may have been covered somewhere in the 600 replies I've yet to catch up on, but yesterday when I was playing, it seems like the jumping has been slowed down, and doesn't feel at all the same as D1. Am I crazy, or did they somewhat "nerf" the jump to make it somewhat harder?

Specifically on the Titan I noticed it was pretty bad. Warlock definitely had a different feel as well, and I didn't play the hunter because gently caress the hunter.

They reduced movement abilities to be wishing the bounds of their design.

Warlock and Titan skating was an unintended development and lead to bullshit like titans being able to claim lanes better than any other class, with strikers then able to lock them down with double nades.

Told ya. They dont need to so poo poo to the match making. Apart from not kicking laggy cunts quick games is fine. No more waiting in orbit for 15 minutes owns.

If you're finding titan slow run the 554 build cheese factory mentioned and turn on strafe jump.

Yeah, I've had a handful of those performances and only got Super in half. Just had a 12 streak in Competitive five minutes ago. Only negative was a 1v4 I got abandoned into lol Easy pickings, and really enjoyable getting to actually shoot guns at mens instead of people just dying.

SBMM would ruin this at 11, but turned to 7 would be quite :discourse:
