You can tell the difference but it's not as big as I was expecting tbh considering the PS4 is meant to be 10x more powerful.

That is the trouble with a cross-gen engine. If it was just for PS4, I'm sure they could improve it even further.

Has anyone noticed duplicate items in the inventory?

Im not sure why this happens but I have had a few things duplicated like some of the armour, I just dismantle anything the same but why is this.

Item pickups? I have picked up white armor several times that is a carbon copy of something I already have.

Just hit 20. Now the fun begins

beachBOYken · 12 Sep 2014 at 12:53

playing as a hunter Im not entirley sure what weapon I should be using when in close/mid range combat, I do like to snipe from distance but I do like to dance with the enemy as well

Looking I see auto rifle, scout rifle and pulse rifle. are they all good for mid to close range combat.

as hunter you probably want to practice using hand cannon :3

Plainsong · 12 Sep 2014 at 13:00

Hand cannons are just devastating. Headshot everything instakill.

I did just unlock a hand cannon at level 4 I think, it was a special upgrade that uses solar light, will give that a bash :cool:

Woogie · 12 Sep 2014 at 13:23

If you are the hunter that is your special ability and it essentially 1 shots most things anyway. I use a hand cannon as my primary and switch between a fusion rifle and a sniper rifle as my secondary with a rocket launcher in my heavyslot.

I find the Hunter to be great in PvP to be honest - the primary reason is that I prefer the JUMP motion compared to the other classes. It's faster and more agile and allows me to jump around and get kills even when they get the drop on me.

It is a bit weaker in a 1 on 1 frontal engagement but just try to avoid those and use your speed to get the advantage.

The hover jumps on other classes just get you killed (even in PvE I find...) Mind you, I only realised after a few hours with Warlock that pressing the jump button while hovering drops you quickly...lol

I always take a high rate fire auto-rifle into PvP. Got one right now that has max rate of fire and quick reload and find that works very well.

Tried a free-for-all with Fusion rifle and it was a lot better than I thought. I was 10-1 after 2 minutes before the game kicked everyone out!!

I kept holding the trigger to build it up 90% of ro then letting it go down so as soon as youone came into view I was firing a volley off before they knew what had happened. I thought it'd suck for PvP but it was awesome.

Got my Hunter to Level 18 this morning so as mentioned I'll be on all night so will see who else is on there to join later

Well I've played a few hours now (Level 5 just) and I'm enjoying it.

A few things I've noticed:
It's starting to get Repetitive, I'm still on Earth though and the Patrol mission is just endless getting missions and killing things.
Maps are small (At least Earth is. Assume the Moon is same too?)

How the bleeding hell to you kill one of the those Fallen Walker thingies? I hardly do 25% damage to the dood.
And when does the Crucible get unlocked?

Shamikebab · 12 Sep 2014 at 14:06

Earth is huge, are you sure you've explored it all?

Public events are meant to be done with other people. You won't be able to solo it at level 5.

Crucible is Level 6
To kill the walkers you really need a few people. Shoot at the legs (all on the same leg if you can co-ordinate this as when a leg cover blows up it reveals a weakspot for 10-15 seconds on the back of it's neck area.

They have a lot of health though.

MikeB · 12 Sep 2014 at 14:15

you can solo the walker, run up the right hand side, there's an underhang, crouch and snipe form there

, did it in beta

Plainsong · 12 Sep 2014 at 14:16

Earth is huge if you look around. There are loads of places off piste that you probably shouldn't be going at level 5 but it's fun to just see where it goes. Look in caves and underground aswell. I've spent ages on the moon just exploring and ignoring the missions. Moon is awesome.

Perhaps I need to unlock the heavy weapon slot at a higher level?

As I only seem to have primary and second weapon selections

It's unlocked for me at level 5?

Is it best to do crucible stuff in a fireteam or can it be done solo.

So much stuff unlocks at later levels, people saying this doesn't have enough content are so wrong. I just reached level 18.

I think the biggest problem on here is that a lot of people on here don't seem to understand how RPGs work, for me personally Destiny is every bit a RPG as it is FPS. Perhaps Bungie could've been more clear during their advertising but I knew when I hit the pre-order button exactly what this game was going to be and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Plainsong · 12 Sep 2014 at 14:23

Level 5 it is yes. I solo it mostly. Make sure you pick up the mp quests in the tower for rep xp etc

Ditto which is why I am loving it. It's exactly how I expected and wanted it to be.

Oh OK my mistake then. I didn't check until Level 6 so just assumed that's what it was.

Crucible is just game modes against other players so teaming up isn't required. It cna help though but it's easy enough to just stick with randoms anyway in modes like control.

beachBOYken · 12 Sep 2014 at 14:27

Does levelling carry over from story or is it separate. I'm not on it now so can't check until tomorrow.
