is the pvp balance pretty solid?

LOL, There's no way you can balance a game like this anyway. Only way to balance a shooter is to have everyone the same, then people still bitch about OP weapons.


In the Beta Hunters had better movement options, and the Golden Gun. Which could hit you from across the map.

No one has seen the maxed out sub classes yet tho.

Fair enough, it just seemed with only 3 main classes balance felt a little more possible than in your typical MMO. I'm sure it will end up being something where different subclasses and talents are optimal for pvp, but there will always be a flavor of the month from patch to patch.

As Column said, in beta you were limited to level 8 and the few abilities you were able to grind out. At that level, most classes were fairly similar because it seemed that for the level range in beta, it wasn't so much any class composition that wasn't balanced, but rather weapons. At the end it seemed that most people, regardless of class, used the same weapons.

Which is still a concern for live. Weapon variety certainly wasn't very large in beta.

The Handguns are supposed to be viable now. We shall see tho

Just starting to look at this, pretty excited about everything I'm hearing. Quick question though, for those of you in Beta, is the pvp balance pretty solid? Or was there one class that clearly had an advantage?

Balance you say? Nahhhhh

Yeah, It's like any Bungie game.

I will say if you think it will have as much content as Boderlands at launch you will probly be disappointed.

They say it has the most content of any of the Halo games.

I can completely avoid PVP right? Still get a good game out of it?

From what I experienced in beta, pvp is just a small subset of the game. It's primarily pve

The Destiny planetview is pretty darn cool. Also more great marketing by Bungie and Sony since there are exclusive PS4 things that show up in the view

planet viewer added a new redeemable bungie.net code

redeem at:
Bungie : Code Redemption

as a reminder there are 17 previous codes you can redeem

you can go to your profile / codes to see which ones you have already redeemed (there are 17 + 1 new one above)

Fuuuuck I want this game! Why can't it be for PC? I can't afford a damn PS4 right now.

im sure it will eventually be on PC, Activision will leave no stone unturned to tap into revenue.

Not sure what the point is of the redemption codes, but I went ahead and added them all to my bungie.net account. Come on Sept. 9, hurry up!

Figures, now i need to go all the way back to Gamestop for my Destiny shaders!

I'm tempted to buy that Destiny Backpack. It's really cool.
