Destiny Beta: Why I Chose The Warlock and So Should You

Destiny Beta is available to those who Pre-Order the full game and after spending the entire weekend playing with all three different classes, Mont Brown from PS4.sx has finally decided the Warlock is his favorite character for these very reasons.

Heck no, I will hulk smash Warlocks with Titans everyday of the week and leap over their Nova bombs.

PeaSFor3566d ago

i wear a fancy cloak and a throw a knife in your face.

Warlock's Special (Nova Bomb), are to OP'd in Competitive MP IMO. Their Grenade Special lasts forever on the field, if they lower it's time rate I think it would be more 'balanced'. I feel that Titans and Warlocks Special are basically a Kill no matter what, whereas with Hunters you need to be somewhat a good shooter since it relies on accuracy.

I will say that Warlocks are the most BA

actually going into the subclasses, seems some are bette rin PVE and some in PVP. Liek Hunter currently right now is more suited for PVE due to specials doing more damage to bosses their, yet their arc blade subclass looks like it's geared for PVP and just as good as Warlocks and titan current PVP specials

Soldierone3566d ago

@above, I'd have to disagree with hunters being underpowered. If you know how to use them, you can dominate the field with them. I saw one guy go cloaked, put on his special, and took out our entire team.

I think anyone that focuses with a certain class will become good at it. I thought Titans were OP and easy to use, then when I switched classes I thought Warlocks were easy, then hunters etc... It's just a matter of learning the class and using it correctly.

hunter all the way. warlocks' are nice but not as good as the hunter, at least in pvp. better than the titan though.

Easier said than done. Warlocks are extremely powerful and like PeasFor said, how can you not love the fancy Jedi knight cloak?

patelsanjeed3566d ago

The Titans built the wall and are needed now more than ever to deal with the hive and fallen threat.

charliewong9803566d ago

I fancy myself a pretty good long range specialist, playing as a hunter is more challenging and something I relish than magic spells.

Scatpants3566d ago

Hunter is my favorite. Even if it may not be as powerful as the other two it is just more fun to play to me.

Hellsvacancy3566d ago (Edited 3566d ago )

Yep, I went with the Hunter, it's really satisfying when I come up against someone who's spraying bullets everywhere trying to kill me only for me to throw a knife in his face, the flaming Magnum is powerful aswel

masterfox3566d ago

yep thats why I choose warlock, and you can do that from large distances too :D

henrythomas2843566d ago

Warlocks rule. I am glad the author didn't go with the obvious choice. Most of my friends are playing as Hunters and Titans, but I think I will give Warlocks a chance, once the network is back up.

ArronNelson3566d ago

Everyone talking about Warlocks and Titans. My play through with Hunters have been awesome, couldn't see myself playing with any other classes. Maybe because I love the options of long range and stealth weapons I can utilize with Hunters.

Cryptcuzz3566d ago

I am using the Hunter myself as well, but aren't all weapons available the same to all classes? I play with my brothers and they are each Titan and Warlock respectively and they are able to use the same kinds of weapons.

Frankskint3566d ago

People are underestimating the powers of Warlocks, remember we have only witnessed the surface of what these Jedi knight magicians can do and even what i have seen on the Beta has blown me away.

Warlock all the way and if you disagree I too will throw a knife in your face with my fancy cloak.

InTheLab3566d ago

I choose warlock over very other class in any game and my obsession started 9 years ago in Warcraft. All I need in Destiny is a pet imp named Nalnar or a succubus named Jhornys.

And yeah I agree that bomb is kinda op but it has a very long cool down to balance it out. I'll probably run a lock when the game goes live but will try out the other classes here soon.

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter332d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell332d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig332d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast332d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g332d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka332d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai483d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface482d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard480d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
