Destiny Beta Starts Now! (Xbox One)

I like the Warlock best mostly for the Glide ability.  I find exploring is easier and more fun gliding.  That said, the Hunter gets triple jump eventually and that will be OP in terms of getting places.  Also, the Hunter gets the best class items (i.e. cloaks).   The Warlock just gets stupid armbands that you can hardly see.  Still, Nova Bomb, Vortex Grenade and Glide are pretty awesome.

*In the final version I will have all three as well.

ill be on   almost all day so hit me up to party XD

Agree entirely - warlock is all I have played so far, but it is awesome.  Of course I will play the other two eventually.

Haha, I hear ya.  Although being gone during the day on Saturday when the "special event" happens is really going to suck.  Oh well.  

I may be in the same boat Saturday as well.  I hope I get to check it out but I might be out of town.

I just played a little last night, and rolled the Tank class. The beginning felt like a straight forward shooter, so I'm anxious to open the game up a bit more.

Not sure who used my code 5.  Tipton just used 2.  There is 1 left.  Check the first page if you still need one.

I played a Titan at first in the alpha and once I cleared that to lvl 8 I went to the Warlock and haven't looked back.  Maxed one on the alpha and hit lvl 8 on the beta last night.  Now I can continue to work on weaps and abilities to be more badass if I play some crucible that's not normalized.

PVP the Hunters are ridic.  Their solar gun thing just melts me one hit at range.

Played a bit tonight with sticky and easy. Really like the co op so far the game seems really great. We did get in a bit of PvP and so of the weapons were way to op. A gold pistol was r@pe in my face every time.

used #1 coolhand

Keep in mind the gold pistol is 3 shots only, and only lasts for a limited time.  I have activated my super just as someone went down and not got any kills cause I did not find another victim in time.  And then there is the long cool down between uses (unless you are pwning) so it's really not that bad. 

It is probably more versatile than the other super abilities but I'll take my Nova Bomb any day.  Especially now that it is upgraded and has a vortex grenade in the middle. Step one, find base being taken.  Step two, kill everyone on said base with one blast.  Step three, keep anyone from taking said base with lasting Vortex Grenade.

Vortex Grenades are great for taking and holding bases.  Almost OP really so it all works out I guess.

I struggled with the OPistol so I switched to the Warlock.  Requires less precision and that's the kind of specials I need.

Loving the hunter. The scatter grenade, throwing knife and golden gun make an awesome combo.

Skandelous snagged code 1, but like he said you don't need one now. Remember the download takes over an hour.

over an hour? will put that to the test.
My connection is pretty fast....

Connection won't matter.  I have a 50Mbps connection and still took almost 2 hours at the time.  It'll be dependent on how the download servers are acting.

Looks like there will be a 2 hour window tomorrow in which to play the mission on the moon (4PM Pacific).  Pretty bummed that I'll be out of town and won't be able to get to play.

Bungie Weekly Update - 07/25/2014

Sad panda, I'll most likely miss this.  2-4pm Pacific is 5-7pm Eastern so I'll be having dinner and family time then.  Guess I'll just have to wait to play the moon mission until the full release or if they extend the beta or something.

Played a moon mission. Fun. Scaling is so messed up though I am alone on a server.

nate glock and myself  did the 1 moon mission you can do it was fun

Played the one moon mission myself well because xbox live is sort of broken and I can't pull up my friends list. It was a cool mission.
