Seven things to do in the Destiny Beta before it ends

"Well the Destiny Beta is back from its maintenance, this time on PlayStation and Xbox systems.Now Destiny is a pretty big game, and lots of people get in a bit over their head, so in order to help out some newer people I decided to make a small list of things to do while the Beta is live. Here we go"-Takuchat.com

Seriously though, it drives me nuts how no one is trying anything beyond the same class they started with.

[GW212]

... guilty...

[ramiuk1]

im restarting it today with warlock

[DallasTrout]

Warlock is really fun.

[GameSpawn]

That is what I went with to begin with. I weighed each of the classes during the Alpha and Warlock stood out for me. Their unique "glide" ability can be useful too while exploring.

I still plan on playing with some of the other classes, but probably once the game actually releases.

[BattleTorn]

Nope. I've maxed all three.

[FullmetalRoyale]

I did Warlock, played until I got my super, tried it twice, then switched to the next class. Rinse and repeat.

I still don't know which class I'll be. I can rule out mister golden gun, only because I know my buddy(who I will be playing this game exclusively with) is picking that one. We choose different classes in all games, BF4 Borderlands whatever, so we can compliment each other.

There are things that I prefer with the Warlock class, and things that I prefer with the Titan.

I do prefer the overall size of the titan, however that is also a plus for the Warlock because I prefer the LOOK of the Warlock.
I like the flash grenade more than I like the a.o.e. purple grenade, but not by much.
I find that I like the glide more than the Titan's jump.

Now the supers....

Whew... This one is the most crucial. I tend to play games by being methodical and deliberate, mixed in with some gratuitous aggression. Short, *fast bursts of psychotic behavior. lol

So, of course, the Titan fits the bill. But the strategist in me appreciates that I can fly up, hit them(from a distance I might add) with a Nova bomb, and then land safely BACK behind the cover I was originally behind.

What do you guys think about the classes? Not for me, I'm curious what you guys prefer.

[FITgamer]

I have played with both the Warlock and Titan almost equally. Unlocked few extra abilities a little quicker with the Titan though. I was planning to start the Hunter tonight. So far it's looking like i'll be using the Titan when the game drops.

[Stapleface]

I've only run with the Titan through out the Alpha and Beta. I'd like to leave something to be excited about when the game comes out. On release day I will have 2 full classes I haven't touched. Every unlock and ability will be new to me. I'd hate to have to play for a few days before I finally got something I didn't have in the Alpha or Beta.

[FullmetalRoyale]

Interesting. That's a good idea. All I did was grind in the starting area each time. The supers won't be a surprise to me, but at least all of the missions will be. THAT, I believe, will be boring for a lot of the people that played so much of the Alpha and Beta.

[JakeTyler93]

I've tried all 3 in the alpha and the beta but I always end up back at the Warlock.

[KingKelloggTheWH]

Warlocks are beast, I like Titans though,they look cool.

[sGIBMBR]

I was a Titan in the alpha, and I'm currently a Warlock in the beta... I don't quite fancy being a Hunter.

[TheSaint]

Why care how others play? It's their choice and doesn't affect you.

[Evil-Gouki]

Got both the Titan and Lock to Lv8, i like how the dungeon seems to level with you. I've ran through it on Normal Lv6 and Lv8, lets hope it has a Heroic level for end game. Simply put, I can not wait to get my hands on the full release, this is the game my new consoles have been itching for.

[shay159]

Double post

[shay159]

You're in luck. In the Beta you play on 'normal' and a scaled up version of 'normal'. In the Alpha there were two difficulty levels above this 'brave' and 'legend'. Legend is absolutely brutal but definitely the most fun/rewarding. You'll need a good team to survive.

[shay159]

Double post.

[lsujester]

I like to wander down into that tunnel and see how far I can get before that Level 20 wizard jacks me up.

[BattleTorn]

I actually zoomed by two sets of lvl20 Fallen, past the Forgotten Shore.

I'm pretty sure you are intended to get by them, but considering I managed to zoom by two sets of the guards, I can only imagine there are people who have gone much farther

[lsujester]

I didn't phrase it that well. I don't really try to go past them (although I really should if I want to explore more), I like to dump my ammo into that wizard. Pretty much pointless, but I enjoyed doing it.

[Elwenil]

If you go past them a short way the road takes a hard right and you are facing a large group of lvl 20 Hive soldiers and one of those Hive capsules stuck in the mountainside. At least that's about all you can see before you get wasted. There is another path nearby that takes you to a tunnel full of Hive Thralls and who knows what else as I never made it in there far.

[BattleTorn]

I misread as well. I've never seen a lvl20 wizard O.O

[lsujester]

There are definitely lvl 20 enemies around. The place I was talking about is the Hive tunnels that one of the exploration missions has you scan. It's invincible but I like to screw with it until I die.

[mrmonk]

I just got a code today so will Av a blast after work gona try out the hunter i think/does any1 have a spare beta code,,(for my mate to try it out to)

[Evil-Gouki]

Check the codes section at Bungie.net, as it's been handing out 3 codes for that platform, so you might have spare.

[mrmonk]

Will try that now cheers

[DaleCooper]

I had an extra one, check your inbox for a PM from me.

[mrmonk]

Cheers dale thanks a million

[TheFallenAngel]

How do you kill the Halloween knights? Nothing seems to kill them.

[Shakengandulf]

They are too high a lvl so they become immune to damage.

[Elwenil]

Hallowed Knights, you mean? They can be killed depending on their level. Sniper rounds to the face do a good job as well as a well placed special attack if you are ranked up enough. One in particular that is impossible to beat, short of trickery, is the one over the side of the Helo landing pad on the other side of the Skywatch building. If you through the fence, at either end or drop over the side at the broken railing, you will find a hole in the wall guarded by a very angry Hallowed Knight that basically kills you with one hit no matter what you do. Time it right and you can knock him off the edge of the cliff with a grenade or the Titan's special attack.

Hang around long enough to see the Fallen and Hive go into their massive battle and the Hallowed Knight will turn into a Hallowed Ogre that is one big, ugly MF'r. Impossible to beat except through the same trick of knocking off the edge, he is a lot harder to push off since a direct Titan special attack doesn't seem to budge him. You basically have to make him back himself off the edge. Beware his purple beam attack from his head, it can take you down to minimal health with even a grazing hit.

Nothing really special in the hole, by the way. There is a dead Ghost and usually a chest of some sort sometimes hidden in the ceiling, but it's an interesting little bit of fun to break the tedium of killing endless waves of Fallen and Hive soldiers.

[TheFallenAngel]

I have shot them right square in the face with my strongest sniper rifle and the gun that gives you a power up and nothing. Threw grenades at them and all it says is "immune" lol and they kill me with one shot. What are they guarding or hiding?

Oh yea and auto correct changed it to Halloween lol.

[Elwenil]

The one I mentioned above just guards his little hole in the wall and not much else. As mentioned, there is a Ghost in there as well as a chest with the usual frequency, but there isn't anything special in the chest, just the usual loot.

As for the Hallowed Knights, and Hive Knights in general, they are pretty resistant but can be killed. Shooting them in the face is the best option that I've found, which can be hard to do when doing a public mission like defending the Warset, or whatever it's called, near a Hive location. With my sniper rifle I can take their shields down pretty easily but without backup, I run out of ammo soon and have to resort to special attacks or death. Once you get to level 8 and get some decently ranked weapons the normal Knights are no trouble but as with anything higher rank with a yellow health bar, like the Hallowed Knights and their Fallen Captain counterparts, they will be very difficult to kill, even with a Fireteam.

[STK026]

Could someone list them here? I can't access the website, only get a database error...

[Shakengandulf]

#1 establish database connection to website.

[KingKelloggTheWH]

It's working now

[MajorTom11]

Same... site seems to be down.

To the above comments, not sure why one would assume people are only playing one class? Where did that come from? (honest question, not calling anyone a liar just wondering what the position is based on). Personally, I maxed all 3...

[KingKelloggTheWH]

Looking at B-net profiles

[illminded32]

Still have a couple things to do in the beta,but will definitely try a new class

[JDBaryon]

I need to get in on this beta!! Does anyone happen to have an extra Xbox One beta code? That would really make my day.

[Mr_Danski]

Message me :)

[Mr_Danski]

Still have two ps4 codes for you lovely playstaioners, message me for a code!

[sourav93]

I like to get up close and personal #Titan4lyfe

[sprinterboy]

Not tried titan, but used warlock and hunter in alpha and beta, my minds set on warlock

[XStation]

Anyone have an extra Xbox 360 code? If so pm me.I wanna help me friend out.

[MonChiChi]

I got caught up in the same skirmish mentioned. I was left hiding in an opening while picking off baddies, it was intense and fun. Just wish more people were around so I could have actually moved and seen more of it going on.
