For anyone who wants to mess around with the best AR, the weapons vendor is selling a Cydonia AR3 until 10PM EDT. It's even got one of the best mods on it too: when zoomed, weapon fires slower but causes additional damage.

MM nice. Now to see which one performs better for me. Shingen-C or Cydonia-AR3. I also found a Green Pulse rifle called Pulsar MSM with the ability have automatic fire but it still sucks. Accuracy kills it.

The mod on that Cydonia is damned good. It adds 33% damage to scoped shots, and shooting slower isn't that big a deal when you only need a 2-3 shots to kill things.

I was looking around at the L20 legendary guns sold by the various vendors to see what they were like--one of the ARs at the vanguard quartermaster is a Cydonia clone with extra range and reload speed, and the mods on it are stronger/slower zoomed shots and reloading grants damage bonus. I know what the first thing I'm buying with marks at L20 is...

Wish I could use the Cydonia with a scout rifle, disliking the fusion rifle more and more. And I just suck with the sniper rifle anymore, the zoom is a disadvantage imo. Need a mid-short range gun, but I like having my scout rifle for mid-long range. Suppose I'll try shotgun next and just try to avoid mid range fights

That Cydonia AR with higher dmg / slower fire mod is also the weapon i am using since a few days now. I got it as random encrypt. It's so damn strong, that i don't even use anything else anymore. Much like a full auto scout rifle with very low recoil. In the Rocketyard i 3-4 shot those shield knights np, since every 2nd shot seems to stagger them. And the clip size is big enough to clear whole groups before reloading. Add Armor with increased reload speed and more ammo for ARs and you got the carefree package. I have not found anything stronger or more convenient yet.

Ya... I just finally unlocked the scope dmg perk on it, didn't like it before it, but love it after. Also noticed the upgraded scope on sniper rifle sucks, now that I replaced it, I'm back to winning again.

Some of those high level armors and weapons look fucking sick. It's going to be like WoW's shoulderpads on crack.

BTW the reward for today is an emblem that will cross over into Live.
I have a Hunter geared out on the PS4 , and Titan geared out on the Xbox one.

I have to say again that snap feature on the Xbox one is the best thing ever on a huge screen. Can watch Netflix., Twitch, Sports, Skype, etc while I farm money/loot/missions in Destiny.

Was trying to do that chest / engram loop again this morning before heading on vacation next week and having zero luck today. Are chests global to everyone? Because the area is packed now and I ran in to one already open chest but still got like 100g.

They're instance based, but the loots still stays for you.
You have around 30 seconds from when they opened it which is plenty enough time to get back to it.
The chests respawn instantly once one is looted, and there can only be 3 up at a time.

You can always just reset the instance if there are too many people.

You want to be doing the rocket yard btw. Its the tigest loop and has one pack to clear for easy engrams/house banners.

Its probly 6-7k every hour.

You will need to be very brave (and perhaps a bit patient) to help us reach our goal. To help you stay focused on our objectives, we've given you one of your own. Everyone who makes an appearance will earn a nameplate to help you prove that you were there when the record for concurrent players was set before the launch of the game. It will help you to be a rare and unique snowflake when Destiny launches in September.

This is a flash mob. Set your destination. The Iron Banner will be live. The Director will still beckon with the lures we've littered all across Old Russia.

We're even sending you on a new story mission. For this one, you'll be glad you scrounged that jump drive from the wastes of the Cosmodrome. You don't need us to tell you where you're headed. We've marked it on the map since the moment when the Beta Build became a secret whispered about by only our friends and family. This new destination will be open to you for two hours.

Fatalist Prophet When does the Beta end?

The Destiny Beta ends when we say it ends. For days now, press releases have circulated that foretold of the end on July 27th. The Wolf, our Theoretical Physicist, has told me that he wants some room to maneuver close to the conclusion of our little social experiment. So, I'm not telling you exactly when. Please play until we nail this thing shut.

Ground Pounder What the hell are you going to do about that Interceptor?

It's a beast. Ain't it? The architects of the arena have some ideas. In the final game, it won't be the menace that's been chasing you into bases. Don't take it from me. Listen to Bungie Designer Derek Carroll:

The Interceptor is a tank and should be treated with respect, but the Sandbox team made some tweaks to reduce the "apocalyptic firestorm" factor a bit. The largest change is a lower rate of fire, with an additional delay between shots. This encourages the pilot to take aimed shots instead of just spamming rockets. More subtle changes include reducing the rocket blast radius, and shrinking the "arming shape" that allows the rockets to airburst on flying targets.

Even with these changes, we felt that having two of them on First Light is less interesting than having a single Interceptor for both teams to fight over. At the start of each match, each team is given a single Pike, with another neutral Pike up for grabs. Additional Pikes will respawn throughout the match near the Control Zones. The Interceptor will spawn on a delay.

You won't see these changes in the Beta. A kinder, gentler Interceptor is just one more reason to look forward to the final version of Destiny, set to launch on September 9th. On that day, we look forward to complaints from the other side of the aisle, where the ace pilots have been polishing their medals.

Got a good session in today and did the strike mission. Really enjoyed it. I look forward to doing some more difficult ones with friends. Is the Level 5 story mission the final one you can do in beta?

Not sure the servers will make it to then, so much lag right now

Edit: but yes

Guess some servers have it worse than others, game I just played now was fine

Sucks they are nerfing the Interceptor. I love vehicle warfare and that thing is a blast. I didn't think it needed much tweaking (i agree the rocket blast was the I win button) but knocking it down to one per map sucks donkey balls. I really enjoy the hover aspect and it reminds me of the days of Battlefield 2142.

Got in my first good session last night and today. Really enjoyed it. When I logged off last night then came back I couldn't remember what missions I had done, is there a way to tell? I just fucked around and PVP'ed for awhile.

Overall very enjoyable, will buy at launch. Not expecting Jesus to rise again or anything, but looks fun.

Lol, never noticed, suppose the whole double/triple jump would be majorly fucked up but ya, should be low gravity, that'd be cool as well. No one's playing matchmaking shit, wanna test out my new shotgun
