Thanks for the code, worked fine :)

 

I believe level 5 and above is required for the crucible multiplayer.

 

Ah! That makes sense. Thats super awesome. Makes people like me who thrive on MP to play the actual story for once. Im level 4 so gotta keep playing.

 

One thing I did realize while my network at home was down cause I was doing some work on it, that the destiny beta needs constant internet access to play single player. I really wish the full game isn't like this. I like being able to play games while my network is down or I broke something.

This is probably because the 1 player is really multiplayer or hybrid also as you run into people from the destiny universe that will assist you in raid type objectives even on 1 player, so may need a constant connection, but not tried it without one to be honest to see what the effects would be..

 

This would be the MMO aspect of destiny.

If you win enough iron march matches (that game mode that gets enabled randomly for 2 hours) you get promoted to iron march level 1. Then you can buy it for 2000 glimmer. 

Nice. I hope they have something similar for pve. I'm not big on the pvp.

Iron Banner is a rather cool concept I like that it is just a schedule item that will allow you to get reputation with a different faction. I wonder what all factions will be available in the full game

Anyone in the UK with XB1 got their codes yet? Website says check back on the 22nd but I see nothing :(

 

Nope, just checked and nothing here. It could be later on in the US day. So maybe late tonight?

 

Their FAQ page it says "On July 23rd, we?ll begin emailing Xbox players their Destiny Beta codes", so I guess it'll be tomorrow.

So I played some PVP for the first time yesterday, and it wasn't too bad. I was awful at first, but after getting over the initial "OMG THE BETA IS BACK UP A DAY EARLY" giddiness and "oh no, I'm playing against actual, smart enemies (people) now." jitters, I settled down and did OK.

 

At first I didn't like the fact that Control isn't a capture and defend mode. I really hated that my teammates would simply run into the capture point until the gauge started moving, and then run away back into the fray. I would always die on my own since I'd be by myself after a few seconds, because I stayed at the point trying to defend it. Apparently you don't get points for holding the capture points. You get a small amount of points for initially capturing them (I think) and then each capture point your team holds gives you a kill multiplier so your kills are worth more points than normal.

 

I didn't like that at first, but then I realized that this setup promotes constant relocation between points and a more deathmatch style flow rather than camping a captured point. I really like it now, and once I figured that out I stopped dying so much while trying to defend. I still stay in the capture area as long as possible, but once the point is captured I no longer stay there indefinitely trying to defend it.

 

I also hit the level 8 cap, but I was still gaining abilities from experience. Does anyone know how the progression system works? It seems the character abilities aren't tied to your character level, which is weird.

I am starting to wonder if the 24Mb patch from yesterday was just a patch to re-enable the beta i have not noticed a single change in the game so far since the patch. Nice to be back in now though. Been farming a lot of spinmetal and trying to do as many missions as possible to get my vanguard rep up.

The framerate on the PS4 is better after the patch, there were a few scenarios that caused some sluggishness, but I tried them again after the patch and they are perfectly smooth now. Also, I feel like the loading between areas is a bit faster now, but I didn't time them to be sure.

I wish my wireless router was better so i could play Remote on my Vita. For some reason it always disconnects saying that the signal quality is poor. I will sit on the sofa next to the router and the PS4 is plugged into the Router directly and it wont work :( Crappy router is crappy.

Seems to me that the player level only serves to unlock new tiers of abilities (besides being able to user higher level equipment and being able to deal damage to high level enemies).

There's at least one more tier for every class which is unlocked at level 15.

Wandering around the tower I noticed today an area on the left with merchants from something apparently called "new monarchy".

 

What's interesting is that in the description of some of the items they sell it says something... I don't remember the wording but it was something like the actions of the character counting towards that faction when wearing that.

 

Looks like there'll be some kind of competition between factions.

      "to in-game content custom-made for the brands" Which EA will turn around and charge customers extra for in an attempt to double dip.

Recovery tools here may be able to find them for you. Maybe you'd like to check your hard drive health? A disk tool will display its S.M.A.R.T. data (if the drive supports this), so you can view read/ write errors, temperature and other useful details. Is your system unstable? The System Utilities section includes several tools that can help to explain why your PC might be crashing. And there are a host of other programs on offer in categories like "Network Monitoring", "Web Browser Tools", "Video/ Audio Related Utilities", "Outlook/ Office Utilities" and more. Please note, perhaps because a few of these tools can be used maliciously (the password revealers, say), some antivirus programs will flag them as threats. We've never had a problem with any NirSoft tool, though, and you can read more on this issue at the author's site. NirLauncher is an excellent set of free tools, and a must-have for everyone's portable troubleshooting toolkit.

NirLauncher package includes variety of tools that you may need for your daily computer use, including utilities to recover lost passwords, to monitor your network, to view and extract cookies, cache, and other information stored by your Web browser, to search files in your system, and more... For every utility in the package, you can easily run it, view the help file, or jump to the Web page of the utility. When using it from USB flash drive, the configuration of every utility is saved into .cfg file on the flash drive. On x64 systems, NirLauncher automatically run the x64 version of the utility, when there is a separated x64 version.

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By MikeK13 · Posted

      What people who support this position of LibreOffice do not understand is that EuroOffice is not made to appease the open source enthusiasts (I am also one) and evangelists. EuroOffice was made because some European companies wanted independence from Microsoft Office Suite, which is something installable on your computer. This move to independence was pushed by public institutions and governments in Europe, as well. Using a proprietary FORMAT as default, does not make you dependent on MS. The actual program does. A format can be changed with a simple update in the future in a dystopian world where MS would manipulate the format to lock others out. However, using MS Office proprietary format, guarantees that all the current documents used by companies, organizations, institutions, etc, will be compatible with EuroOffice and the suite will have the best chances at adoption, especially by slow moving organizations like governments and the public sector. It is as simple as that. For the same reason, even the UI is incredibly similar to MS Office. For the same reason (adoption) the choice was made to be open source. Not because EU particularly loves open source ideologically, but because it gives the best starting point to create trust in the project and amass developers and contributions to the project quickly, to catch up with proprietary projects like MS Office. I don't understand how people don't realize it.
