Destiny - 9/9/14 (PS3/PS4/X360/XB1)

[Teknique]

yeah. warlock has a good 5 feet melee or close to it

[Moss]

I don't remember it having that much range but it's obviously been a while since the beta

[MrDodo]

Is their any type of limitation when it comes to weapon types a class can equip?

[Moss]

nope

[6souls]

yeah. warlock has a good 5 feet melee or close to it

Warlock's melee is just over an arms length, ~3 feet.

[Serra]

So no different than Titan's then (or at best, barely better)?

[Moss]

I played Warlock more than the other two classes combined and didn't feel any difference with the other classes' melee attacks, fwiw

[Teknique]

The warlock special melee ability has longer range than the average melee by a little more

Its not the hunter knife throw, but it is slightly longer than the titan melee. titan melee is fist connect only =/

[Ardrial]

I was constantly failing titan punches in beta after playing warlock the majority of the time.

[Arcana]

That's a bat, not a dragon.

where's the bat signal when you need it?

[Serra]

Beta characters deleted..

[Brill Weave]

Sad

PS4 Bundle gets a retailer price drop in the UK

GAME has cut the price of the White PS4 Destiny bundle to just £349.99 - the same price as a standalone black PS4. The bundle previously cost £384.99.

Alternatively you can now pick up the same bundle with a copy of The Last of Us Remastered for £379.99, or with Call of Duty: Ghosts and a PS4 Starter Pack for £379.99. Both bundles previously cost in excess of £400.

A standalone White PS4 is expected to release later in the year, but don't expect it to cost much less than £349.

The White PS4 goes on sale alongside Destiny on September 9 and is exclusive to GAME in the UK.

Devs confirm no trading between players (items can be sent to characters within the same account), will add trading if players demand it

Being an MMO, a huge part of Destiny’s gameplay would naturally involve finding loot, comparing it with others, and maybe trading it as well. Except Destiny won’t allow you to do the trading part, at least not at launch.

Answering a fan question regarding trading following the weekly update, Bungie replied, “As for swapping irons in the Tower? Nope. We want you to earn ‘em. You should be able to tell a badass story for every sweet jewel in your arsenal.”

Later confirming that you can however trade items between Guardians [characters] under your account.

<redacted> adds that Bungie had noted before that it will consider adding the feature down the road if the community wants it.

For those who are having trouble deciding on a class:

really just watch all of the Datto videos, they are an excellent source

[Rulke]

^LOL at end of that vid.

[Serra]

[theshun]

Is there any word on respect or do we just get every ability/skill? Like the guns, switch bonuses whenever. The far right level 15 skill seemed like a lock-in all previous skills, but I could be reading into it too much.

[Serra]

I don't believe there's been anything concrete yet about the lock-in. A few people have reported that when you lock in, you get a duplicate of that class which levels faster, but I don't think that's been officially confirmed yet.

Moon Raid teased

Destiny has tons of content at launch, and one of the things that gamers are most excited for are the Raids. Raids are 6 player, friend only game types that have you taking on really challenging foes.

Well the one Raid that we know of so far is the Vault of Glass raid on Venus, however today we have what seems to be confirmation of another raid on the moon.

A user on reddit noticed an image today that was displayed on a tablet, that shows “Raid on the Moon”. The image is on the Bungie.net page also, so all that’s left is for Bungie to confirm the existence of such a raid.
