Infosplosion Monday. My takeaway

There is a lot that was revealed and I'm going to attach the source and my corresponding notes. If you would like the quote for my particular note, let me know or look in the article. Hope you enjoy! [url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-04-28-getting-to-play-destiny-better-than-halo] EuroGamer [/url] - Skirmish is name for competitive multiplayer - Patrol is a free roam exploration. Can encounter Public Events during Patrols - Timed public events exist - During an active mission, activating your ghost will show your where your objective is [url=http://www.destructoid.com/destiny-s-combat-is-solid-but-i-m-not-so-sure-about-the-rest-of-it-273692.phtml?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter] Destructoid [/url] - Trading between players is something Bungie wants to do but will limit trading between your own characters for now. - There is specific double jump equipment. Jetpack, Jet Boots, and "Floaty Effect" - Just like firefight, you can enter matchmaking to be paired with other PvE players - Time listed for the death/respawn is "about 30 seconds"  - "The Director is a HUD system" that updates as you explore and level up. Some areas will yield access when you get some gainz. [url=http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/28/destiny-hands-on-bungie-xbox-playstationshared-world-shooter] The Guardian [/url] -To slide, run then crouch. Not huge info but now you know. - Golden Gun gives three shots per use with a hand cannon - We will get to respec a tree until we decide to lock it down. Doing so gives is additional benefit (think stat increases) - "On [The Director] are displayed all the currently available planets and locations as well as the missions accessible on each, and as players complete more tasks, the universe slowly opens up, offering fresh worlds and challenges.  " - The Director will tie into the mobile app. We will be able to "research new quests" and "set-up co-operative missions with friends" - Engrams are found while playing. They are taken to a character named Cryptarch in the Tower to be turned into spoils - Each loot chest is your own - "There's a vault where you can trade items between your characters," says Green. - "Certain weapons are infused with different energies - thermal damage, arc damage, and void damage – so if you have the right weapon you can, say, drain an enemy item or shield sooner." - "Suros Regime auto rifle with its exotic art deco styling, or the Monte Carlo assault rifle with a built in sword." - I will likely spend a lot time doing Patrol missions - Different levels of Strikes, Raids, and PvP based on your gear [url=http://www.gameinformer.com/games/destiny/b/playstation4/archive/2014/04/28/hands-on-with-the-three-classes.aspx] Game Informer [/url] - Warlock foci: "The Order of the Void offers an offensive build in which the warlock manipulates energy and matter to devastate foes. The Order of the Sun is a more subtle focus built around buffing and protecting allies." - Titan foci: "The Defender Codex does just what you imagine, built around strong protective benefits over outright damage. I explored the Striker Codex – a focus that lets the titan manipulate volatile arc energy... its super ability sends the titan hurtling down toward a group of enemies to create a resounding shockwave of arc energy." - Hunter focus: "The Edgewalker seems to have a single-strike melee focus, wielding an arc blade with deadly efficiency" [url=http://www.gameinformer.com/games/destiny/b/playstation4/archive/2014/04/28/five-features-that-help-define-bungie-39-s-shooter.aspx?utm_content=bufferf99ad&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer] Game Informer [/url] - Mobile app will provide stat tracking [url=http://www.polygon.com/2014/4/28/5653642/destiny-ps3-upgrade-next-gen-ps4-xbox-one-compatible-windows-pc] Polygon [/url] - "Destiny saves can be transferred from old-generation consoles to new ones" - X360 to X1; PS3 to PS4 [url=http://kotaku.com/i-played-45-minutes-of-destiny-and-it-was-kind-of-bori-1568127899] Kotaku [/url] - The Tower is a travel hub - There will be a synergy bonus for complete armor sets - Skill trees for all gear. Not sure if this includes our ship, Shrike, or Ghost - Attributes: Damage, Rate of Fire, Range, Accuracy, Stability, Control, Will, and Force - Audio cue when you are close to treasure. Think hidden orbs in Crackdown or Ninroot in Elder Scrolls. - Titan bubble shield can "follow the player, having it buff team mates, or simply remaining a stationary defense" [b]Adding two more:[/b] [url=http://m.ign.com/articles/2014/04/28/i-played-destiny-and] IGN[/url] - Titan shield name: Ward of Dawn - Orbs of Light are the glowy orbs that fuel supers [url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-04-30-how-destiny-turns-into-diablo-when-you-hit-the-level-cap] EuroGamer[/url] - Titan focus Striker uses the Fist of Havoc super. Titan focus Defender uses the Void Barrier super (bubble shield) - You cannot jump into PvP immediately upon starting the game with your first character. Testing proved that you will not enjoy it much until you get your super unlocked. - The Vault is our equipment storage - Glimmer is in game currency - There will be something new to do each day in Destiny Not all the revealed information is here, just that which I had taken notes. I enjoyed reading through the articles and knew that with the press exposure we would get a least something new. I may add more to the list or direct you to some sort of snoo place with a central hub of information.
