Yea, I just have a feeling that they will do a delayed release of the third subclass just like TTK. If that is the case, it will be really hard for me to stick with Hunter if they don't make any changes.

Has to be. The amount of games that we had that nobody even got one is crazy.

I have no problem with the other abilities. We don't really know if we can go from tier 0 to 5 right now. If we are at tier 0 and can increase that when the game comes out it will be close to the same. Tier 0 in Destiny 1 is not far from the charge rate we see right now. If not it may need a increase to make the PVE players happy.



This is a good point, but as of now, I didn't see anything that could be used to upgrade charge rates. I mean part of the game's appeal is all the space magic. That separates it from other shooters. Could have something to do with the story, who knows at this point. However, if it stays like it is, it will turn a lot of players off from the game.

I realize that making us wait is gay, but if you think about it, it really makes sense in keeping people around and not bitching about having nothing to do over the game's life.

How long you been playing?

Beta is much better if you enjoy Destiny for PvP.

Definitely. I'm having a blast with it. The gun play still feels amazing. I really enjoy Countdown.

Thinking of setting up a gofundme for erecting a billboard asking bungie to restore original K/D stat accumulation. Who's in?

Sounds like a great use for disposable income.




Let me ask my wife.

Well when you factor in how much mental money my ego makes flashing that standard K/D, this will actually pay for itself.

shite I played a few games yesterday with a hunter running hand cannon over scout rifle and I couldn't do shite. Couldn't hit anybody, couldn't kill anybody, and was getting killed instantly.

I don't see anyway they keep that stat sheet. It is awful. Damage numbers are the only way of knowing any idea of how well you are performing.

Countdown is fun as hell.

The new strike was hella fun and cool looking. I had a blast.

I love the change to Havoc Smash to make it so you can smash multiple times. Bitches gettin wrecked.

I'm satisfied and happy I preordered.

I've enjoyed it. Pulse rifle dominated in PvP. Assault rifle did well in the pve. Not happy about sniper being a heavy.

Destiny's fifth pvp mode was revealed today. Survival. Best of 3 rounds with 8 respawns per team, per round. IGN posted a video that looked cool. The map isn't one of the beta maps, too.

KD was still fricked, though.

You guys are just going to have to get over the dick measuring contest of K/D.

One of the You Tubers I watch, MesaSean I think, had a private Twitter convo with someone at Bungie. He asked the guy at Bungie point blank, "This is broken, right? We are going to get to see actual K/D in the full game?" Guy from Bungie told him that how it is in the Beta is how it is going to remain.

You will have to find an outside source like Destiny Tracker to prop your ego up on about K/D.

The current stat tracking system is ridiculous. It's not even like battlefield, which would be fine, I suppose. Battlefield you have to put a reasonable amount of damage into someone for an assist to count as a kill. They're infrequent compared to just assist. In destiny it doesn't matter how much damage you do to someone, as long as that miniscule amount of damage you did was within x seconds of someone else killing that player.

It's just really lame to finish a game with 23 kills but maybe you only had 5 actual kills. Or zero, because that's possible too. So your "efficiency rating" or whatever can be the same as the guy who got 20 kills and 3 assists. It's just a stupid way to measure things.
