The artstyle in Old Russia is how i'd imagine Half Life 3 to look like.
It's probably like PSO, where you have this huge colony ship... with most of it just serving as a backdrop and all you get to use are a few stores, an identification shop, and the guild place for quests.

I hope they don't change the cursor based UI. Or at least make it optional.
I spent my upgrade points, bought the best weapon available and equipped the better gear I had collected.
Yesterday I played the exploration mission for quite a while and got to level 7. It was starting to get repetitive so today I thought I'd do the Level 6 story mission.
More specifically, the Devil Walker fight just bored me to tears. After 5 minutes or so both people I was playing with managed to get themselves killed right by its feet and left the game. It had been a while and the thing still had more than 75% health, my bullets were doing nothing so I quit.
Next up I join another match, but apparently this time the game skipped to a point I hadn't gotten to before. I'm fighting a big purple thing that, again, barely takes damage from my bullets. My team mates again get themselves killed in a point I can't possibly get myself to and proceed to leave the game, and that's been my Destiny experience so far.
When I shoot something with a health bar, I want to see that health bar go down if even a little bit.
I quite enjoyed the atmosphere, the gunplay, the art and vistas are amazing. The game just got too much like an MMO for my liking.

Agreed. This game will likely be a maga hit.

Yes.
I have quite a few rare too. Dammit Bungie and the lvl cap.
Yeah, I have 2 or 3 level 9 items I can't use (not rare though...haven't been lucky enough to get any of those yet)

This might be the cleanest alpha I played, great looking game, dont understand why some dont like the graphics, they look great to me.
Do all fusions take time to spin up?
Did not like. Then it seems like it only fires 1-2 bursts.
Am I missing something?

It takes a second or 2 for them to charge up, but it shoots a burst of 7. If the entire burst hits someone in PVP, they die instantly. Really good on big enemies in PVE, too.

Is it confirmed this is 30fps?
It feels smoother then 30 most of the time for me. Perhaps that is the old " no sudden 10+fps drop " thing going on. No stuttering or drastic changes makes for a much smoother experience no matter what the genre.
The fusion rifle makes me think of the Unreal Tournament istagib one hit kill ( or explosion more like it ) mod wep I used to do 1v1 public arena tournaments and matches with. Just ... boom ... dead, don't come back now ya hear?

Are there really no sound options? I want to turn the music off and play my own. I do like the music but come on :|
It's a Bungie game. They have never allowed you to turn the music off.

I think it ends today ....
Not sure if they meant 12th-15th as in, it ends and not playable on the 15th or you can play on the 15th and it ends the 16th lol. I'm guessing you can play tomorrow.
The co-op mission bosses are a bit bullet spongy. Especially if you are lower level without strong weaponry. But now that I have a strong fusion rifle, rocket launcher and solid primary weapon they go down fairly quickly. The first time I did a boss it was like 25 minutes or so, dying 30 times lol. The next time around, with much better weaponry, it was about 10 minutes and died 3x. Just recently did a run within 5 minutes and died 0 times.
The weapons are badass. Plenty of punch. Especially love the feel, sound and effects of the fusion rifles. I am liking Scout weapons in my primary slot. Single shots, lots of pop and can do good headshots with em even from the hip.
Progression system is awesome.
You have a skill tree for your main character, looks like this
Tier 2 for grenades, as an example, for the hunter will change the single grenade into one that explodes into many other grenades that home and seek out enemies.
Weapons also have upgrades you can unlock via usage.
And you also gain specific stat points from armor that do various things.
I like that armor / weps are not static objects. I will pass up armor with a higher Armor stat if the overall product is not in line with what I'm looking for. Like if my gloves enhance my grenade cooldown speed I will keep those on, especially if they have added Discipline stats, which further decreases grenade cooldown.

Like halo,some, yes, yes they feel good, yes
Fusion rifles are excellent on those devil's lair bosses. :] It's also possible to kill 2 mobs at once and there's a bounty related to it (kill 2 enemies at once x 20 time).
I gave this game a second chance, and it was just as boring as the first time.
I choose this mission requiring three players to kill this OP spider thing and we're expected to grind away at killing it for an agonising 15 minutes?
Constantly running out of ammo and switching between cover isn't entertaining. Just when I thought things would get slightly more entertaining, the game changes your overcharge camera angle so that your aiming is wrong.
Fuck this game.

This is going to be such a basic question. It how the heck do I access the Strike? I must be missing something right in front of me because it's not showing in any of the modes I have highlighted
PLSHALP.
PLSHALP.
Well, it tends to group you with people around your level. Don't think I've gone longer than 30 minutes on the whole mission since hitting level 8, but when I did it at level 6 on day 2 of the beta it took ages.
Have you done the first mission the game drops you into and (not sure that's even necessary), did you hit level 6 and did you do the little introduction in the Tower (go see your boss, go see your gunmaker, go see the shipwright, alright you're done thing)?
If you didn't do any of those things then do them. If you did, maybe restart your PS4?
If that doesn't help, light a black candle and pray.

Did you go to the Tower yet and do the main the mission?
Don't even attempt the strike unless you are level 6.
