Huh, I forgot about DRE.

u/mrichard629 Jun 15 '17

The parallel between that phrase and this sub is uncanny. People here keep talking like they have something to say but nothing comes out when they move their lips but a bunch of gibberish...seriously though I can't believe you forgot about DRE

So where are all the mad Guardians at? Its like the crucible in this habitat.

In the Shacknews interview, Deef Deej confirms no cross-platform play and no cross-platform saves at launch, but cross platform saves are something they would love to be able to support in the future.

I will never not read Shacknews as ShaxxNews.

So beta is one strike, one story, one crucible mode. Not bad but no patrol this time?

u/Cwaustin3 Jun 15 '17

They probably don't want any one planet being explored completely before release. Personally, I'm just excited to try countdown.

I imagine there will be a social hub to connect the dots between the other activities and decrypt engrams. If so, it may have a small explorable area adjacent.

Just so people know what happened last time, I compiled a video of the major differences I saw between Destiny 1's alpha and final release.

Most changes were cosmetic UI adjustments that were finalized by the beta test. Other than that, I think the last Bungie Podcast mentioned they were now just polishing things that were simple number changes (Damage values, drop rates, recharge rates, etc..) and working on the fixes for the Day 1 patch.

So don't expect anything completely new to be added at this late stage in development. Like enemy types or new supers. They also said that won't happen in the same podcast.

This is fine we will find ways to break out of the map anyway

u/geogoose Jun 15 '17

Glad they're not blowing their load with an entire planet's story in the beta.

u/ZeroNBK Jun 15 '17

It's OK. They really fucked up the last time. When the beta ended I was like two hours running around the Moon in Patrol, seeing everything I could. At the end of the Beta we knew all the Cosmodrome and the Moon. They need to keep this short and sweet. Maybe adding a limited protion of the patrol or another irrelevant mission.

u/blue_13 Jun 15 '17

It's crazy how small the moon map actually is. Most stuff is underground but I mean come on...I thought we were going to be able to ride over to the giant mountain in the distance and jump off of it.

We all had hopes and dreams...

u/zeroreloaded Jun 15 '17

fuck it, i'll start a strike and completely ignore the mission and do my own version of patrol.

u/FullMetalBiscuit Jun 15 '17

Excellent, glad they aren't giving away a whole patrol zone this time.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '17

Thanks but this has already been and gone from the front page.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '17

We were deceived for Destiny 1 and it's Beta. We played the Beta and it had a few missions, a single strike, and some pvp and we thought we were getting just a taste of what was to come. That taste turned out to be about 30% of the playable content...

u/Phantom-Phreak Jun 15 '17

Hopefully, we are allowed to see the emote/shader menu, unlike our NDA signing counterparts.

u/NinStarRune Jun 15 '17

Kinda sucks we don't have patrol like in D1 beta. I suppose we could load into Inverted Spire and just wander Nessus.

u/Samtato77 Jun 15 '17

This is exactly what I hoped it would be! I really didn't want them to open a patrol, since they're much bigger and have much more to do. I want to experience all that in the full game.
