ahh ok i thought i could trade them in for currency. Do you know the best way to get glimer (or whatever you call it)


head to the cosmo to do some exploring on the level 4 explore.   turn to the left and move up the side edge of the map backwards from where you start.  Keep volume up and listen for a shimmering sound.  Loot crates will make this sound even through walls.   go along the back area where you start, without going into the part that takes you back to the very start.   once you do the edges of this area(they will be down on small cliffs where if you fall you die, or up high along the wall of the level),  there are 3 caves near where you start.     repeat the process for each section of the map.   Using your sparrow it shouldnt take to long and youll get more then 20 chests easy.

go in EVERY cave or door that leads to a small room

edit: i just did it and in less than a half hour i got 20 loot crates.  do bounties at the same time.



I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the master is away.

"Hes the clown that makes the dark side fun.. Torgo!"

Looks like you were right, must suck having to forcefully not like something because of politics.

How funny, sarcasm over console warz "politics" while engaging in them in the very same post. Congrats.

Being one of the 2-3 "Xbox fans" to post impressions before you decided to enlighten us with this delightful social commentary, let me just say in my defense since day one on this board I have said I'm no Halo fan. So I am at a loss at to why I'd need to fake disappointment in a beta of a multiplatform game.

Maybe it's "politics" that lead people to believe someone would stoop to such nonsense.

So I owe you a partial apology,

I went ahead and installed the xbox one beta to compare, and aside from the harsher contrast and slight blur to everything from the 900p, the controller seems to have a notable difference in latency compared to the ps4 beta that varies from area to area, even when the framerate SEEMS to be stable, which adversely effects gunplay, if you waited a few days and switched it wouldnt be so obvious but  going from one to the other it's very apparent.

as for the rest.

Negatives:
No gore?
Voice acting is TERRIBLE
The PvP in the beta is TERRIBLE
Loot system is not explained at all
A countdown timer if you leave the designated area? In what is essentially an MMO? lulz
AI is not up to Bungie par

voice acting on the ghost is hit and miss, some lines are terrible, some are okay, some are good, at least you didnt have to experience that wizard came from the moon, from alpha, since they took it out.

they have, since alpha, also added a robotic tone and effect to the voice acting which has improved it somewhat, so theres a good chance it will still change before retail.

PVP in the beta is barebones on purpose, level limits, caps, etc.

A lot of mmo's have a countdown timer for leaving the normal field of play actually.

AI didn't feel any better or worse than all of the bungie made halo's i have played tbh, the dregs act almost the exact same as the Covenant grunts in halo, and the fallen almost identical to Covenant elites.



Personally I think the Ghost's voice is WAAAAAAY better than the Alpha

Wow can't imagine it being worse. Can't  believe its Tyrion voicing the ghost. I guess not all actors can do voice over work.

Agreed. In the Alpha he honestly sounded bored and lacked any emotion. I'm glad they were able to fix it.



Sooo. i got into the kings watch map.

Maybe the Xbone and PS3 betas are still running the old dialogue. He sounds extremely bored on those platforms and like he is just reading verbatim from a piece of paper with no emotion. There is a scene in the strike mission where you have to fight that huge tank type thing and he just says something like "the door is..... right behind all those devils" in a monotone voice. Or when you return to where you got the ship "we escaped the fallen once... we can do it again" monotone. Almost makes me miss Claptrap.

 

The MP voice acting is almost worse.
