So I missed the initial sign in for the Bungie.net e-mail thing. Any way that I can do that after the initial launch of the Alpha? I can't find it anywhere on the menu or options screen.

It would bother me far less if it actually locked at 30fps. It drops like a motherfucker, yes.

Downstairs. Look down.
Really? I haven't noticed drops in the way you described. It's really smooth to me.

I'd like an option to turn off the numbers in general. Always reminds me I'm playing a video game instead of getting lost in the world.
There has to be a more elegant solution for showing crits...
There are stairs that lead down where you need to go, don't try to go through the upper level.

So anyone with Fios have a fast download? if not, then Sony is to blame. Even tho it gives them a better idea, they are still to "blame" regardless of alpha or not. If there is a problem, blame goes to who is responsible whether justified or not.
if it's all Fios customers though, then fuck verizon
I guess because the other missions can be done in "single player".
I was Exploring and I took a mission to scan something when at the end of it a spider crawler thing came down, along with lots of enemies and it said I joined a Public Event, yet nobody joined.
After kiting the thing for a few minutes waiting for people to join and help me, I bailed. No way I could take that thing by myself at a low level.
Anyone else join a Public Event and have people join? I only explored for a bit but I didn't meet any other players in the world -- only the Tower so far.

Playstation Plus required?
It is multiplayer so I think yes.

If it seems like your download gets stuck, go into Settings > Network > uncheck 'Connect to Internet', count to 5 mississippi, and re-check it. A lot of times the connection to PSN servers will timeout and not re-connect. This will force it.

After playing for a couple more hours, I started getting bored. Of course, the representation of content in the alpha is no where near what will be in the final product, so got to consider that.
To me the gunplay felt pretty solid, not terrible, not spectacular. It certainly had the Bungie Halo feeling to it, at least to me it did, not a bad thing, just feels familiar.
Most of the missions I've done are kill things to get drops or just flat out kill things. Gets pretty boring after a while.
Visually, game looks solid. Again, not fantastic, but certainly not terrible. It's kind of jarring seeing pretty high resolution textures in some places (even more odd, like on small objects) then lower resolution textures on large surface areas. Art direction is very strong and the colour in the game is gorgeous.
Soundtrack so far is fantastic, Marty knows how to score games and create atmosphere.
Only played one match of multiplayer so I can't really comment too much on it, other than I didn't enjoy it that much. Run of the mill competitive FPS.
I'll be playing more on the weekend when I have more time as a different class to get a better idea of how all the classes work.

If you're in a fire team let everyone know what leg to go for, concentrated fire will help you take it down faster as opposed to everyone shooting different legs.
Makes sense
Fios as well. Said 85 hours to download lol, now down to 10 hours.
You need to go under. I missed at first too.

I called Fios but they claimed it was PSN...I have a feeling if I called Sony they would say it was Fios

The Alpha really reminds me of Ground Zeroes, except it didnt cost $29.99, and was free! Its just a little tiny taste of the game. When does this Alpha shut down and become unplayable? I like missions where i can go off by myself.
Here is a shot of remote play on vita that i took with a real camera. (sorry for crappy quality please dont rip me a "new one"). Game looks great on the OLED!

Tokyostomp, was fun playing with you earlier! Did you have a mic? If you did I couldn't hear you.
I think the IQ is great. Jaggies are very minimal and everything looks pretty clear.

Been playing the alpha for a couple of hours (multiplayer). Feels decidedly last gen - the 30 fps and Reach style visuals make it feel old - in fact Halo 4 on 360 runs and looks as good. Hope there's a hook to the main game, as Destiny MP is not going to be taking up much of my time.

Report it to Bungie.net/alpha. There are several types of errors like that. One I saw a while back was caterpillar.
