How do i set SA Goons as my clan? I am already a member of the group.

Go to the clan page: http://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Detail/100794

And select Set As Playstation/Xbox Clan (see image below). I don't have the PS Clan option because I already set it

I sent a request to join the clan.


For people that preordered, we're all still stuck waiting for PSN to email out codes, correct? Or is the beta key on a digital receipt somewhere that I should be putting in on the Bungie site?

It looks like we're stuck waiting for Bungie to e-mail out codes or crashing their site by constantly refreshing our profile pages for the codes.

Me and the A-Team just played around 3 hours of Iron Banner by staying in the queue. We only lost one game and it was our first one, which seemed to be against the only team in the world that was better than us.

And we didn't lose a second game because we made a strategic retreat in the second game.

Also more Iron Banner? I guess I didn't want to sleep tonight. Time to get some food in me and hope my headache goes away.

It should be on a bar right below the weapon's name. And it's gray if you can't use it

In case anybody didn't get a good look at the Hallowed Ogre before he one shotted you. Don't know why a portion of the screen went white.



When Ambeix and I went looking last night it was a Knight (I think it was Hallowed) that spawned there so it was easier to get in there and grab the ghost. I failed to get the chest as I had jumping issues.

The Moon Monster posted:

I'm guessing there are going to be 4 big areas. Earth, which we've already seen. Then similarly sized areas on Mars, The Moon and Venus. Those were the three planets shown on the screen Ghost was talking to at the end of the final beta mission. There will probably also be some smaller areas for story events, like inside the Traveler or a aboard a Cabal ship or whatever. This is just my guess, I could very well be completely wrong!

Speaking of guesses, how do you guys think the story will play out?

The Speaker is evil, that's pretty much a given. Also Rasputin will go insane (rampant!) because it's an AI in a Bungie game named Rasputin. Or maybe they'll play off this and have the nefarious Speaker just try to trick you into thinking it's evil. Your ghost will be revealed to be The One True Ghost that has the power to briefly awaken the Traveler, or maybe has a piece of the Traveler's consciousness dormant within it or something. The story ends with you getting a mysterious sign from the Traveler, and the Darkness is kept at bay... for now.

And you'll have to try to stop Rasputin by shooting it, stabbing it, "poisoning" it with a virus and dumping the core in the nearest body of water.

Rinse, repeat until it's dead.

Or is it?

I love the rocket launcher. Single enemies? Toast. Groups? Toast. Vehicles? You get the idea. If you can aim worth a poo poo with it there is no obstacle you can't gently caress up.

Also, it seems to be really hard to kill yourself with a rocket. In Halo you have to be really careful with the launchers or you'll just suicide like an idiot but I've killed people with Destiny launchers from near point-blank and survived.

Edit: They even shoot people out of the turrets on the moon :hellyeah:

I've killed myself with the rocket thanks to a wall that got in my way. I've seen Titan's tank rockets like a boss though

I almost didn't notice it at first, but I really like how the PVP maps have day-night cycles in the same way that the PVE world does. Especially considering how rare that is in a game. Has anyone spotted any other little details like that?

What are everyone's thoughts on the grenades in PvP? I'm a big fan of the vortex grenade. I never get tired of seeing people try to run through that poo poo and going from full health to dead in seconds. Plus it looks really cool :catdrugs:

My only issue with the grenades in PvP is that you don't know if it's a friendly one or not. Though I guess that's part of the fun

Really cut it close, as me and the other person who happened to be there endeavoured to keep the dude occupied.
