J.T. Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Is your species choice basically a cosmetic choice, or does that effect your abilities. There will definitely be some RPG elements and stat builds to consider, but from what I've heard from interviews, Bungie wants to keep far away from cookie cutter builds. They don't want one set build to be the "right combination" even if some races seem tailor made for some classes (ex. Exo Titans or Awoken Warlocks). Race and Class should compliment each other, but Bungie still loves the Halo mechanic of adventure builds (ie. reward through mission completion rather than random drops) so I imagine that getting a full set of rare armor will require grinding through a series of "dungeons" or in some cases, you will probably receive rewards in the form of rare skills or powers rather than loot.

This sounds like a game with this group where I wish I had gotten an Xbox One. I hope some of you decide saving $100 is the way to go and opt to buy Titanfall on PC instead. </Maniacal Laugh> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Bungie has always been big about your equipment and weapons being a reflection of what you've done in the game, so the proposed loot scheme doesn't surprise me. In the Halo games, people who explore maps, do not avoid encounters, specialize in certain weapons, and play on higher difficulties are rewarded far more than guys who just try to reach the end game as soon as possible without regard for kill counts or finding easter eggs like the skulls. Bungie says that they want Destiny to appeal to the casual gamer, but loot grinding doesn't sound like the model that will accomplish this. The enemy species will consist of the Fallen, the Cabal, the Hive, and the Vex. There will also be a constant presence in the skies known as the Onyx Pyramids who appear to be command ships capable of taking control of enemy races ala The Reapers / Collectors. From what I've seen in the gameplay vids, either the Vex or the Fallen appear to be the first set of antagonists players will face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 One of the cool things I remember (and maybe I was misunderstanding this) is that you can only have one Ultra Rare weapon equipped at a time. So you can't have a superbadass assault rifle AND a superbadass melee weapon, you gotta choose one. I think that'll go a long way to accomplishing that whole "there is no RIGHT loadout" thing. I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fiancee didn't react too kindly when I told some people that I might not have much of a social life once this game comes out for a few months.

I expect reports detailing as much about the gameplay the NDA will allow. It'll be out to the public. No NDA needed. Actually, many details are already out there because everyone at E3 has been in already for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yes, but the townhouse will have a loft which will be my primary base of operations. My consoles, desktop, and Ubuntu box will be up there. It will have a comfy couch so that if she gets pissed off at me, I will just sleep up there. My Awoken Warlock (Void Walker) / Human Hunter (Gunslinger) awaits activation. I assume that Fresh will be the Exo Titan given Rush In / Get Shot / Shoot Back tactics he usually employs. You guys all realize that Priority One will be to get ourselves a starship or put ourselves in position to own as soon as the content hits if they are not available from release date.

Big Fresh Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 The Beta is in July. This is the Alpha. It only lasts this weekend. It was a separate sign-up that only lasted the last 3 days as part of E3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
