SPACE MAGIC! Disscusion (old)
We know grenades are in the game, the titan throws one accidently as he tries to salute.
[url=http://www.bungie.net/7_The-warlock39s-grenade-Needs-technical-assistance/en-us/Forum/Post?id=61154240#referred-SquattingTurtle]The warlock's solar flare ability is pretty much a grenade mapped to the left bumper.[/url]
So how is this going to work? We have three slots:
-An ability mapped to the jump button
-An ability that may be a the grenade ability (left bumper)
-A super ability that is both bumpers.
Are we even going to have a variety of non-SUPER abilities? So far it seams the only one that isn't jump/throw-able is the Main power ability.

1 ReplyIt can be endless abilities if the designers want. To change what the X, rectangle, circle and square does can be done for instance by L1/L2 scrolling ability bar up, R1/R2 scrolling ability bar down. With various toggles like L1 and R1 toggling what the X, rectangle, circle and square will do (like weapon sets, or skill trees, or simply free-form similar to Diablo III). I personally think a toggle system feels least synthetic over time and it still, with just 2 toggles, give 8 additional actions with the basic 4 buttons. Do it with directional buttons, like for orders, emotes and such and it would be 8 additional such things as well (kind of like how old counterstrike sorted premade voice-commands in sub-menus). I really hope it won't be exactly like for instance Defiance with rather few (ONE) ability where that one can be used every minute or so (too much shooter, too little sci-fi, or space magic if you will).

Nice catch with the grenade. I never would have caught that.

Edited by EddieTheExo: 5/8/2014 3:45:34 AMGrenades are going to be part of your loadout. Like an armor piece. They will be infinite but changeable and Im pretty sure they are not class specific. I think the warlock stuff is really unique , glowing projectiles and buffs for the whole team. While titans abilities seem melee/defensive and hunter gets a laser knife and magic bullets. And if these have their own skill trees and there are other possible focuses itll be awesome. City of heroes lasted ten years and even tho it was a fairly primitive mmo they updated it often enough that by the end it was almost impossible to look and act like the other avatars. New clothing options and new missions were uploaded along with new powers and emotes. Im hoping thats the stuff they really bring from the mmo game genre.

Armor/cloth ratio stuff for guardians. Titan: 80/20 Hunter: 50/50 Warlock: 20/80 ( this info I got from ign. You can look it up ) anyway, this makes me think that because the warlock is lacking in defense, it will end up having a lot of offensive power. It's also very likely the offensive power that they will have will originate from their extra knowledge obtained by the traveler. I just think they will have a greater variety of traveler magic.

12 RepliesI hope the Warlock gets a lot more #SpaceMajik coz right now its seems like everyones a bloody wizard and that there's no reason at all for the Warlock's existence. <(-__-)>

I think the versatility of the abilities will really depend on how Bungie meant each of the slots. So if the "grenade slot" only has abilities that are literal grenades to throw, then sure, that wouldn't be too interesting. But if instead the abilities are simply projectile abilities in that slot, that might be more variable. Plus, in the gameinformer interview, it mentions being able to tweak each ability, so you could have a "grenade" ability that did a lot of damage, or one that instead left a damaging area in its wake that remained for a while. Focus-dependent passive abilities were also mentioned, but I'm not sure how much those will affect the other abilities. Lastly, if you go back and watch the Devil Walker footage, you'll notice a "grenade" thrown by a Titan that seems to immobilize the tank, or provide some sort of beacon.(I didn't find this, I believe either destinyupdates or another youtuber did. I just remembered it) So, to sum it all up, we really won't know til the beta comes. I feel like, most likely, Bungie will have used the three slot method as well as they could, so we will probably have a good amount of versatility, but it won't be quite as diverse as allowing more ability slots or allowing any ability to go in any slot.

Personally I'm most interested in the lore behind the "SPACE MAGIC!", I'll deal with the game play mechanics as i play.

Edited by Nick the Slick: 4/29/2014 12:05:13 AMLet's not go forgetting that abilities also have upgrades based on your focus' skill tree. I think that there will be a lot of ways for a single ability to play out, let alone the other focuses, and only a few are known as of yet! But I can't form any real opinions until I'm playing the game for myself.

1 ReplyI love all this complaining in the alpha

About classes does it look to me that all Destiny characters will have beyond our own physical/mystical powers, kind of like Mass Effect (and that isn't such a bad inspiration to have, right?).
-
Magic seems cool but hunters gonna hunt
-
Warlock is probably my favorite class so far. But I think it has to do with button combos. like L3+R3 activates so and so.
-
Annoying, isn't it?

Who doesn't love them some space wizards.

Awesome #SpaceMagic is awesome
-
well in the recent gameplay it appears that the guardian has his super ability, his grenade and his ability! like how the hunter had its seeker grenades and a throwing knife attached as we could see left hand but he still used golden gun and his knife fury attack.

What I'd really like to see is some more of the heavy offensive powers at use by the Titans in the latest gameplay footage. Space Magic Shoulder Barge!
