[quote][b]TSA:[/b] [i]So along those lines, what kinds of things have you learnt from the beta? Is there anything that you’re thinking you might try and patch in?[/i][/quote]
[quote][b]Jonty:[/b] [i]Well there were hundreds of little changes that we actually made. ....
... And then there were weird things, like people wanting beards![/i][/quote]
No Jonty, wanting a beard is not weird. What's [i]weird[/i] is having a game where you can play as a Space Wizard, without even including Space Beards to adorn your Space Wizard. See image.
Edit: Some more wonderful beards:

Edit 2: I'm sorry I didn't include an option for females to vote. But as they will never know the joy of growing a beard (except for a very lucky few) their opinion on this topic is not applicable.

Sorry but considering 95% of time I'll have helmet on I really dont care what my character looks like.

Edited by aboniks: 8/19/2014 6:53:47 PMSerious Business, Jonty. My real beard* is really upset with you. Does Jonty not [i]have[/i] a beard? Is he jealous? [i]DON'T BE A JELLY JONTY![/i]
-
Accurate. I'm glad it was brought to his bald faced attention.
-
I'm not too concerned with whether or not we get beards (I would like them though) but that was a great article regardless.
-
Keep perpetuating the fad fellas.

Edited by aboniks: 8/19/2014 7:42:47 PMBeards should be equipable in lieu of helmets. They should also be lootable, and adhere to the existing equipment rarity scale. #WeirdBeards #JellyJonty

I would say yes to the beard but I'm gonna play as a Exo...so yea...metal face = no beard
-
I've been discussing this with some of the Ninjas and I've concluded that this could also solve the problem with the Warlock's vanity item. Hunters get capes, Titans get sashes, but Warlocks only get some glowy thing you can't really see from afar. What if for beating the Iron Banner, you unlocked the most magnificent space wizard beard the Last City has ever seen? Think about it. It would go from head to toe and trail you as you glide around the arena.

In 1995 a troop of cub scouts on a camping trip became lost in my beard. Their bodies were never recovered. Do I need to explain myself any more Jonty?
-
Yes. Destiny definitely needs beards. Bungie please listen to this officer of the internet law.
-
Give me beard!
-
Beards unite!
-
How would a bearded Exo look like? Would he have to magnetize his face then dunk his head in a bucket of iron shavings?
-
I feel bad for the boys who want to play as chicks. No woman beards for you losers.
-
I can't for the life of me think why they wouldn't want beards on the game. I don't know about you but I can't picture lord Saladin without a beard. Like some epic Viking warrior!

Edited by DEZARATH: 8/19/2014 9:15:45 PMWhat's really weird is a bunch grown men who probably grew up on Star Wars arguing over the inclusion of beards for space wizards in a science fiction setting in the first place. Are they that dim?
-
Are you serious ?? Who the eff cares if beards will be in the game or not, even the guy is joking with it. THIS is the part of the interview that matters: [quote]TSA: But there won’t the kind of custom modes which you had in Halo games? Jonty: Um, I think we’ve been asked quite a bit about whether or not we’re going to do private games and things like that. It’s certainly an active discussion, but it’s really about how we wanted to make sure for launch that we had the best gameplay that we could offer for the core competitive multiplayer activity. I think what you’ll find is that over time we’re going to see some things arrive, and I think players are going to inform our prioritisation of what features we update. We’re going to build on Destiny. 9/9 isn’t just launch and forget. We did a bunch of this with Hoppers [temporary playlists], I guess, in previous Halo games, but we’re on a much greater scale of potential change, if we choose to do it.[/quote]

FailFish The Beards thing is annoying.
-
Space fuzz confirmed.
-
Can my Exo's beard be made out of razor blades? Plot twist! Keep it clean, pimps. Beards are for lumberjacks.
-
How exactly is wanting a beard, something weird? It goes hand in hand with almost every game that allows customization.
-
The beards are a must have Bungie, a MUST HAVE!
-
Jonty must be some sort of priss or something. A beard is a badge of manly dignity, to exclude that from a game where Men (and women) SAVE THE PLANET is pathetic. The world will not be saved by clean shaven, adolescent, baby faced little boys. This is war damnit!
-
Where is the "I respect the right to have beards, but I prefer being clean shaven" option?

#beardsorboycott. spread the word.
