Destiny

[ethomaz]

anyone else disappointed with the class system?   i'm probably way behind on this discussion since i skipped the beta but i was just reading up on them and i don't like that the class doesn't play a significant role in the way i play.  typically i'd pick the warlock but his abilities sound kind of lame.  how is the titan's defender ability because that sounds cool to me.

...anyone think there will be more classes over time?

Warlock is awesome.

Seems like you have 3 classes with 3 sub-classes each... so 3 different sub-classes per classe (can have more sub-classes)... each sub-class is unique and changes the power and everything else... the awesome powers showed by IGN are sub-classes of Hunter and Titan... they didn't showed the sub-class powers of Warlock yet.

Sunsinger sub-class (only after lvl 15)
Super: Radiance
Granades: Solar Grenade, Firebolt Grenade and Fusion Bolt

Voidwalker sub-class (initial)
Super: Nova Bomb
Granades: Vortex Grenade, Scatter Grenade and Axion Bolt
Highest level: Illumination

I'm just listing few differences... there are more.

BTW these are the two classes showed in the Beta.

skills were locked and we never even got to touch the sub classes.   lots still to be discovered.

Skill are locked to sub-classes... not the class.

i just meant that in the beta, there were skills we couldnt get that were part of the base class

The sub-class skills were locked... all the skill of the sub-class were open to level up.

The issue was that the sub-class could be reached just with lvl 15... and the game cap was lvl 8

wat?   for some reason a few days after i reached level 8 my skills stopped.  i figured they capped it.  my guns and armor could go up, but not my skills.  I had unlocked about half the ones in the base class.

Yep, the other subclasses were locked but skills in the first subclass (which we had access to) were also locked!

yea lol im not sure if everyone noticed though as they did go for a bit past the level 8 cap.  im not sure if everyone played enough to really cap everything.   i played ALOT lol

Skills continue to level up... it is not related to level.

Example... to get all level of the grenade you need to use granede and it will level up.... the jump the same... just start to jump to level up the jump... the Nova Bomb the same... use the Nova Bomb to level it.

Are not... I was close to reach all level in the first sub class.

Skils and level are not related.

Oh ok well they were still separate skills because it changed what they did. I guess they are like runes in diablo 3. I never unlocked a lot of them because I went on holiday half way through the beta

hmm.. interesting.   how long do you think it will take to get to lvl 15?   

...i lvl'd a priest (main), mage (secondary main), rogue warlock and druid (just for fun) to lvl 70.   honestly playing the different classes (aka gameplay) was part of the fun for me.  if lvling is a fast as some have been saying i'll probably just play all 3 classes and decide later what i want to have as a main.

anyone know if they are going to let us respec the subclasses?

i played for hours and hours doing all kids of things trying to get aspects of further skills unlocked.  i got all the grenades, the jump, golden gun etc.  but towards the end it still stopped.  i wish i could take a shot of my old skill tree.

maybe you have to do rather obscure things for the later ones... cause no matter what i did i couldnt get some of the real late ones.   

edit:  that or maybe it glitched lol

[ethomaz]

This is from the Beta... there are only one Skill locked (that I guess it is the Illuminate that you need to fill all the others to unlock).

The first four columns I got everything and I was almost getting to the finishing the second and starting the third level in the last skills.

Are we still talking about Destiny here?
You can change the skills within the subclasses, yes. That tree shows the diff skills horizontally and the different variations of it vertically (I think)

[DD_Bwest]

thats weird,   maybe mine glitched or iced up.
