Destiny

[Staris]

So I preordered the Destiny PS4 Bundle yesterday so thought I would get the ball rolling on figuring out who else would be getting the game.

[Marrkin]

I have had Destiny pre-ordered for about 8 months now lol...

Also PS4.

Jaison... add me on PSN: speedbumpLV

I think for full potential of this game we seriously need a 3-4 man squad happenin.... but I think duo would be good too

[Cuspar]

Dashl and I are both PS4 preorders.

[Staris]

PSN: Staris84

Apparently can only add friends from a PS System so will probably have to wait till September for either confirming the requests or making them.

[Dashl]

I hope to get in the beta this weekend. I am in the Battlefield Hardline beta right now. Dashl- for PSN, Dashl for Xbox Live.

[Marrkin]

Well, I was lucky enough to secure an Alpha key via an unexpected inside source @ Bungie lol...

Watching some E3 coverage while it downloads, but excited to check it out!

Sent using smoke signals from my campfire.

[Dashl]

They sent an email saying I didn't meet the requirements. My ps plus ran out Wednesday, and I renewed it after work, and my only guess is those few hours had something to do with it. I registered on Tuesday, and I know they sent them out in waves. Cuspar got in last night.


I did get the Battlefield Hardline beta.

[Cuspar]

Marrkin and I leveled our toons to the alpha cap last night. This game is just unreal. Can't wait for September.

Sorry I have not been around lately guys. I really HOPE I have time to play this with you guys. I dont have a ps4 yet, but I should by the end of summer. I also hope to be able to show you all why I have been so busy for the last 4 months by September.

P.S. no, I have not been doing pron.
P.S.S or in jail.
P.S.S.S It sort of kind of ties into Destiny.....a little.

Get the bundle... you know you want a white ps4.

Marrkin and I leveled our toons to the alpha cap last night. This game is just unreal. Can't wait for September.

I have actually done some of the multiplayer now as well as the Lvl 6 Strike Mission (multiple runs so far)

The multiplayer is very Halo-esque... and Warlocks reign Supreme FYI. As a Hunter I essentially got my ass handed to me 1v1 unless I got the drop on someone with my heavy weapon.

The "Strike" is essentially a Flashpoint... You are teamed up with 2 other random folks, and you work towards the end objective. Each run takes about 30 minutes to complete with a competent group. It's the best way to farm 'uncommon' (green) level gear for the Alpha.

I have only done it on the "brave" setting so far. Once I green up more gear I'll attempt to try the "Legend" setting.

The game, even as an Alpha is BEAUTIFUL.

And Cusp.. those "hallowed" dudes down in that dungeon-y area... yeah I went in there with everything I had and they still wrecked me like Lindsay Lohan behind the wheel of a car... I noticed that all of my Weapons did '1' damage, and they do not have a level indicator lol...

[Marrkin]

O ya, and Dashl...

Alpha ended this morning

It was only supposed to run Thurs-Sat and shut down Sunday. It ran for 1 extra day.

Beta Begins on July 17th. I will be out of town the 17th through 21st in the Northern Georgia Mountains, but I'll be hittin' it up after that.

[Dashl]

They extended the alpha and turned on hard mode, just read it on kotaku and ign. Why did bungie deny me?!!! http://kotaku.com/destiny-alpha-gets-da ... 1591367784

[Marrkin]

Ohh, nice. I'm definitely poppin' there tonight then!

On a sad side note: I did ask for one more key, but the response I got this afternoon was "No worries about asking, but we are fresh out!"

Sorry man

[Dashl]

Hey, thanks for trying!

[Dashl]

17-21 for PS3 and PS4, beta will close then for maintence, then run 23-27 for all the systems.

[Cuspar]

I'm scared the beta is going to spoil too much of the story.

[Dashl]

Bungie has announced the specific beta timing for its upcoming "shared-world shooter" Destiny. On July 17, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 players can begin playing the beta, which picks up from the beginning of the game and includes a handful of Story missions, a Strike mission, and a selection of PvP Crucible maps. The beta will then go offline for maintenance on Monday, July 21, and return on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 on Wednesday, July 23. The beta ends on Sunday, July 27.

[Dashl]

So not too much of the story. I reserved the Limited Edition today, still doing the PS4 version.

[Staris]

not that I would with as much as I am spending but a little annoyed that the system and game bundle doesn't include the two limited versions.

[Marrkin]

I opted to skip all the limited and collector edition extras. I believe I still get an item or two from the pre-order however.

Sucks I'm gonna miss the first 4 days of the Beta, but I have a sneaking feeling its is going to be the same as the Alpha...MAYBE slightly/somewhat expanded...

Whoever is down though, I'll be back online on the 22nd at least and we can shoot some stuff then. During the Alpha, the 'Strike' mission was the way to go btw. Usually walked out with 2-4 pieces of decent gear. Some awesome gunfights during those runs too.

Make sure y'all got your mic's working

[Dashl]

Yeah, the PS4 headset is crap. It did sound better when Cuspar and I played Watch Dogs, compared to when the three of us tried party chat that first week. The volume was too low then.

[Marrkin]

As far as I know when Cusp and I were playing the Alpha we were able to communicate pretty easily as well. I'm still looking at using a full headset at some point, or getting my Turtle Beach to work lol

Sent using smoke signals from my campfire.

[Cuspar]

I actually found the headset pretty good the night Marrkin and I played. Didn't have any of the issues from launch.

[Dashl]

That thing keeps falling out of my ear, I will test my Tritton again on Thursday.
