Re: Destiny - looks like a hitMy wife is working from home today. I'm about to call her right now and tell her to get off of that conference call, because she needs to boot up my PS4 and I need to walk her through some very important steps! |

said by Alpha Phoenix:Now I know I have a pretty good network connection at home, but to be able to download 13 GB in less than 5 minutes seems dubious to me at best. I hate that it does that. I had a long argument with a dude on another site railing against Sony because he purchased MLB The Show 14 digitally and 5 minutes later said 'Installed' but he couldn't play it. He would not listen to reason that there was no way the entire game downloaded in 5 minutes, it said installed so it was installed and it just wouldn't work. He was on the phone with customer support trying to get a refund last I heard. They really need to make the download process clearer. |

Doh! Yeah that kind of defeats the whole point of preloading and scheduling downloads while away from home doesn't it? I guess we'll have to call this another "feature" that isn't quite there yet on this gen of consoles. |

So what class are you guys rolling for the beta? I'm trying the Titan because I like more tanky up close and personal shotgun type characters and the first thing the Titan unlocks is the shotty. |

I went with Warlock. My son is rolling with a Hunter. |

Both the Warlock and Hunter look really cool. I may try all 3 out before the end of the beta. |

Should be enough time for it. If not, the final game is only a couple months away. |

Hunter. I'm going for distance. Pulse rifle main, sniper special, rocket launcher heavy.
Titan is really fun too. I max leveled one in the alpha. Fist of Havoc + shotgun = charge and destroy type of build. But they aren't very agile, so take care.
I want to roll a Warlock too. Nova bomb looks bad ass. |

I'm rolling as a Warlock. I'm not really into FPS games, but I'm really loving this one so far. I have yet to see the Action/Adventure element of it yet though. |

Played to level 8 last night on the Titan, this game has a lot of potential. The multiplayer mode included in the beta is pretty standard but it's cool you get to use your customized toon. May roll another toon today. |

For the Warlock class, anybody know what the armbands are supposed to do? |

They're just decorational. Vanity gear, if you will. For the Hunter, it's the cloak. Titans have the "mark" (it's kind of like a sash worn around the waist). Just pick the one you like the look of best. |
|

I wish you could customize the reticle on the guns, and aren't just stuck with the one that comes with that weapon. Hopefully in the final release. |

I just beat the Beta!!! I'm a Level 8 Warlock now. Anyone know what is the difference between the attack level of a weapon, and the impact level? Which one do you guys focus more on when choosing your weapon, and why? |

There's been a lot of discussion about Attack vs. Impact. I think it basically boils down to this: Impact governs how much potential damage you deal per round (bullet). Attack is a modifier of sorts that is related to your opponent's level. Higher Attack means you do more damage to higher level enemies. There is some interesting math hammering going on here in relation to this subject: » www.reddit.com/r/Destiny ··· _impact/ |

Ok so after Justin generously hooked me up with a code, I redeemed it, downloaded the 13 GB file and installed it. I then tried to get on about an hour later and damn...servers down for maintenance.
But there was also a confusing message on screen. It said I was in a cue and my place was 113,437 or what ever number it was.
What is that cue number for? Would I have to wait that many places before being able to try it out? It's no biggie to me really since I was heading to bed anyway and I'll be able to try again tomorrow, but it was just odd to see a cue there. |

They took the beta offline. It's coming back online on the 23rd I think. |

Yup. Beta comes back online the 23rd and adds the Xbox One and 360 to the available systems list. It will then run through Saturday I believe with a community event mid-afternoon (can't remember the exact timeslot). If you are getting the game, be on during this time. It awards an emblem or sash or something that will be tied to your bungie.net linked account and available in the full game. |

» www.cinemablend.com/game ··· 341.htmlSaturday 2PM PDT. I'll be on then! If I've got Destiny on PS4, and my cousin has it on PS3, will we be able to link up online and play together since they would both be connecting via PSN servers, or not at all because we're on different platforms and the servers are console type specific? |

I'm not too sure to be honest. I've heard that accounts will be server? specific in that if you play on PS4 you can also play on PS3 and vice-versa and same with Xbox but I'm not sure if any system can play with another. I try and keep up with the multitude of threads over on NEOGaf but it's nigh impossible at the rate they go lol. |

Thanks, I'll sure to be on! And no cross-platform gaming at all, even when using the same online service (PSN or Live). So you'll just be able to play with those on the PS4. According to Bungie playing against someone with a higher res or better hardware will put you at a competitive disadvantage. Not sure how true that is but that's their story, at least for now: » arstechnica.com/gaming/2 ··· players/ |

FYI, Xbox 360 and Xbox One download codes for the Destiny beta go live sometime today on Bungie.net, so if you preordered for one of those systems (or acquired a beta key some other way), you should be able to start downloading and get ready to play when the beta comes back tomorrow.
Also, regarding cross-generation stuff: I too have heard that you should be able to access your same account / gear / etc. with different generations of the same console family. So if you have PS3 and a PS4, and a copy of Destiny for each, you can access all your stuff. Same goes for Xbox One and Xbox 360. However, at the moment I cannot find the source of this news. I am pretty sure it was official though.
But no, you can't play online with anyone except those on the same platform and console generation as you. |

The Xbox One codes are live at bungie.net
Why do they give you three codes? |
