Everything You Need to Know about the Destiny BETA!
Sledgstone replied to DeathscytheX's topic in Video Games
I should be getting on tonight soon, but only for about an hour, I'll try to see if the moon mission is available yet. If not I might try the crucible in case it is a requirement to get that moon mission seeing as one of the crucible maps is on the moon. Strider, if you still have that ps3 beta code could I have it for my older brother? He didn't get a ps4 yet but he is definitively interested in getting destiny for ps4 later this year. If he logs in with his ps3 be should be able to get that emblem because it'll be the same bungie account for him. -
Darker than black is good. I don't watch nearly as much anime as I used to, but the main ones that I watch now is One Piece and Fairy Tail. I recently watched Attack on Titan and thought it was good. It's a shame there won't be a season 2 for it any time soon tho.

http://www.polygon.com/2014/7/22/5927633/battlefield-hardline-delayed-to-2015 Battlefield hardline has been delayed until 2015. I'm glad they're doing this. They might actually turn the game into something original now instead of releasing a BF4 clone. This post has been promoted to an article

Everything You Need to Know about the Destiny BETA!
Sledgstone replied to DeathscytheX's topic in Video Games
The Beta is back up! I'll be getting on tomorrow. Does anyone know if they added anything new since the downtime on PS4? Also, turns out my one friend said he wouldn't have time to try the Destiny Beta.. so I have an extra code. This will only work for PS4 North America only! First come, first serve: 6CRR-NQNA-R33H -
http://kotaku.com/some-sports-fans-upset-espn-is-airing-video-game-tourna-1608298005 DOTA2 got some coverage on ESPN2 and sports fans seemed pissed. But I thought ESPN also airs spelling bees? I bet Zynga could get a words with friends tournament going on ESPN next.

I just checked my Verizon bill and I owe them -$63 this month.. I somehow got two $100 credits because of some promotion I never knew about.. I'm going to celebrate by buying a bottle of whisky!

Thats actually an interesting link. You've been a member since 2005.. where have you been!? Is there a specific anime that you like watching now?
-
Full trailer. It looks like it'll be a decent movie.

It sounds like DOTA 2 is having one of the biggest tournaments ever.. $10 million in prizes.. I wonder how many people will watch these live games and how the hell do these tournament organizers raise this much prize money. It blows my mind away that people can make more money playing this game than professional sports athletes. http://www.dota2.com/international/overview/ Live stream: http://www.dota2.com/international/watch/July20/

Everything You Need to Know about the Destiny BETA!
Sledgstone replied to DeathscytheX's topic in Video Games
Thats why I waited for him to teleport before I attempted the attack.. but once I started the attack, it was impossible to adjust the aim. It starts that 3rd person perspective animation and its all done. I had the same issue with the titan when I tried doing jumping specials. The animation took to long and the enemies would dodge just enough to be out of the way. The ammo drop seems completely sporadic now. Just like you said.. nothing for the longest time then 3 enemies in a group drops everything. I noticed a good topic on Bungie's forum. Someone complained that the world itself seem barren. There is no life forms, no little creatures scurrying around on the ground, no birds in the sky, etc.. and the areas the enemies spawn at seem to have no real value. Its like they are there for the sake of being there as opposed to defending a potential mining location or a strategic base or outpost. Even Borderlands had small villages of enemies where they would spawn out of small huts, but in Destiny, the enemies drop down from ships to a random field or rock outpost and start patrolling. There was also a complain about there being no destructible environment aspects. No barrels that can be shot to cause an explosion, no hanging structures that could be shot down to crush enemies, etc.. I never thought about these things until I read the topics about it, but these people do have a point. Destiny could be even better if some of these things were implemented. -

That missed shot pissed me off so much. Here is the first strike we did with the Sepkis Prime boss: Heres the clip I took of the same fight from your video so you can see my perspective as I died multiple times from that Devil Walker. I missed that shot at 11:17. That bastard moved just the smallest amount and my guardian shot far left. I'll be sticking with Hunter after this. That Warlock goes down too easy. -

http://www.bungie.net/7_Bungie-Weekly-Update---07182014/en/News/News?aid=11938 Its a good article about the beta. Apparently there was an event in the crucible today that we missed. Also... We have to make sure we login at 2 pm Pacific time on the 26th. "Rewards will be handsome and permanent." -

http://www.twitch.tv/sledgstone/b/548782645 Check out my video at 2:14.. It was 4 minutes of intense fighting. I should have played this mission with some teammates, because I almost died a couple of different times. But playing it solo made it feel much more extreme. I'm thinking the warlock is weaker with defense, because if I was playing as a titan I feel like I should have had less of an issue. If I was playing as a hunter, I might have died because the warlock super saved me in a horde of thralls. But if I was a hunter, that golden gun would have destroyed a couple of the higher level enemies much faster and I'd have saved more shotgun ammo for those thralls. I believe we got spoiled by the alpha. Since I've now done the beginning of the game 3 different times now, I feel like it might get me burned out. I'll continue my warlock to see some more of the story line, but I won't be playing this endlessly like I was with the alpha. All those level ups and inventory gone.. I don't want to get another awesome sniper rifle again until to loose everything. It looks like the level cap for the beta is 8 again. Unless they up the level cap in the last couple days for a stress test, I doubt we'll see any of the higher skills until the game goes retail. -

I think I'm gong to pass on making a new hunter for the beta. I don't want to get burned out on the beginning of the game especially if they don't carry over characters from the beta to the final release. I'll work on my warlock to see it's full beta potential for now. -
I have the day off. Once I get some things done I'll be on the destiny beta for multiple hours.

Everything You Need to Know about the Destiny BETA!
Sledgstone replied to DeathscytheX's topic in Video Games
The app is very detailed. But with the amount of graphics and 3D images in it, I can only assume it uses heavy bandwidth. I'll only use this on wifi. You can even see a 3D representation of your character in the app.. fully rotatable and zoomable to see your armor and admire your upgrades. Very impressive, but the weapon and ship models seem way too dark on my phone. I'm not sure I like the Titan class so far. Its really a tank class, but with my weak armor at the beginning of the game, I'm hesitant to jump into a horde of enemies to utilize my smash move. If I don't kill a good chunk of enemies with it, then I'm a sitting duck. The upgrades for the class make alot of sense tho. The melee attack when upgraded can cause splash damage, has a chance of instant recharging and can also cause a significant cooldown of the special attack. Also, the special attack can cause more area of effect damage and can be upgraded to be aimable while in a lift jump. Which would be much better than what I've got now. I jump in the air, but when I smash I don't know if I'll land in the big group of enemies or on the outer edge of the group. I can see the devastating potential of this class, but I think I'll still prefer Hunter over it. I might scrap my Titan here soon and start over with a Warlock to see which one I prefer. -
This last episode with Amanda, Niles and Yewll having hallucinations was ok, but not the best episode so far. It felt like the episode was dedicated to the LGBT community. This show seems to want to push the envelope on all subjects now. lol. I thought it was a bad batch of the "Blue Devil" drug that caused the hallucinations, but when doc Yewll was revealed to be seeing things too, then I didn't understand wtf was going on. This show really has nothing in common with the actual free to play game now. The way the EGO device was described seems way off from what it actually is in the game. Why would they need Amanda's memories? Why would anything in her life or past have anything to do with the ongoing plot line of the device in Irisa? hmmm.. maybe there is another story they haven't revealed yet. This could have been a transition episode to get Amanda off the Breaking Bad Blue Crystal Meth.. err.. "Blue Devil" and to break off her relationship with Nolan. She was a strong character in the first season, but now she is a drug addict running a brothel. She definitely needs to regain her composure. I think they show developers realized how different the show is from the game (its like they are alternate versions of the same reality) so Syfy made a website that has weekly graphic novel episodes that is supposed to coincide with the show.. I haven't tried it yet, but I figured it was worth a mention: http://www.defiantfew.com/ The next episode preview showed an arch fall and a robot warrior. It should be a good episode if it has some action in it.

Battlefield 4 Battlefest and Dragon's Teeth Teaser
Sledgstone replied to Sledgstone's topic in Video Games
This game is still definitely fun to play with friends. Strider and me were kicking some ass tonight on the Dragon's Teeth maps. I like the new maps. One of them was very open and great for mortaring, while another was filled with so many multi-leveled buildings that it felt like a maze. Which was nice because it was a large map that wasn't good for sniping at all. It was a lot of action but without the bottlenecks of metro and locker. That bulldog gun seems to be everyone's new favorite. The shield didn't seem effective at all from the one teammate I saw that used it.- 30 replies

Battlefield 4 Battlefest and Dragon's Teeth Teaser
Sledgstone replied to Sledgstone's topic in Video Games
That would be good. The big problem with the naval strike launch was that DICE's servers needed a severe upgrade. Now that they fixed that issue everything should work smoothly. I did have some lag issues the other day tho. Almost like someone was doing a ping of death attack against my router again. I think when you rent a server you can access the control panel via battlelog. If some asshole admin can see the ip#s then they're probably cheating by pinging everyone on the opposite team.- 30 replies

I was going to try it last night but I never got around to it after I set the dlc to download. After an hour of downloading I stopped checking to see if it was done. Lol.- 30 replies

The bungie app updated in the Google play store. It is now the official Destiny app. -
Have you played any of these X-Com games? I can't remember if you said you did or not. I've seen X-Com bundles on sale before but I didn't know if they were worth playing at this point or not. I have the Enemy Unknown one on PS3 via PS+ but I still haven't tried it yet.

Everything You Need to Know about the Destiny BETA!
Sledgstone replied to DeathscytheX's topic in Video Games
It would be great if or beta characters would carry over. I put in around 10 hours into the alpha and with the beta lasting a week, that could lead to some serious time. I don't mind replaying part of a game but numerous hours of repetition would get a bit annoying especially for campaign based missions. -
