I would say that the highest difficulty (which I believe is called Legend) is very similar to the Legendary difficulty in the Halo series; with the only possible difference being that some enemies in Destiny can take much longer to take down than enemies from the Halo series.

I don't know if its confirmed, but I think there's a 3rd difficulty that wasn't in the Alpha. Brave was bronze, Legend was silver, it stands to reason there's a gold difficulty as well. Also there was space for a third difficulty in the UI.

Select the strike mission from orbit.

Ah, I see. Thanks!

 

[reKon]

So after all is said and done, we've played 10% of the game then?

 

[GoaThief]

How do we get the Tower to populate?

I just kept going to orbit then back to Tower repeatedly until I found a few people.

Got some now but the dance off has faded for now. Only four left near me.

 

[Blinding]

Hrm. They said 6pm PST, right?

Maybe they meant PST and not PDT. That would make something happen in... 20 minutes.

The store stocks refreshes in ~8 minutes, so maybe it is going down at 10 EST.

Yeah I wonder how much of destiny this was. Obviously not a ton.

I am so so excited

 

[Ingueferroque]

I'll miss this game.

 

[tokyostomp]

There is going to be a shitstorm coming to Bungie of butt hurt gamers. Upon entering the alpha code into PSN [a second time] you are greeted with this:

asfjsjfnjaskfsakj, I have the Full game, Thanks Dentiny!

Not really.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Open options and set your fireteam privacy in your roster menu to public. Fills up quick, especially if you're in a fireteam.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Nevermind he's right.

I hope my theory is correct tbh.

Just did the same, odd haha

Less than 10%. https://twitter.com/EvanNikolich/status/478217469023100930

Surely we haven't played that much? I mean, I would have to assume that there are quite a bit more than one strike mission and one story mission per planet or area.

 

[StewboaT_]

Just beat the strike mission on legendary, with two randoms no less. Pretty damn fun, but man, the bosses/mini bosses need their HP's reduced drastically. Gets a little boring shooting at the same thing for 20 minutes straight.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Surely we haven't played that much? I mean, I would have to assume that there are quite a bit more than one strike mission and one story mission per planet or area.

I would hope that the story missions aren't that bad or short. The one here can be completed in less than 3 minutes.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I'll miss this game.

Me too.

 

[VanWinkle]

Yeah, I hope that is one of the shorter ones. I didn't think it was bad; just really short.

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

Not getting invited to GAFtown then

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

What the fuck is this thing?

 

[Namikaze1]

Two spots opened up but I'm logging out. Gonna go watch Game of Thrones.

 

[Awesome Animals]

Just got rocked in a Crucible match by things I've never seen. How do you get a shield for Crucible matches?

Less than 10%. https://twitter.com/EvanNikolich/status/478217469023100930

I wouldn't even know how to put it in a percentage. There's a ton of shit to do in Destiny. What's in the alpha is pretty basic. It's going to be a lot of fun to show off some of the really cool stuff!

I'm really, really glad we ended up with a public alpha.

Bro what's happening at 6?

 

[The Librarian]

That would be what is hyping people up.

Right, one last romp. That's what one final mission means. They could've worded it better, but they just want you to play Destiny before it goes offline.

 

[everyday math]

Go inside

 

[K' Dash]

it says right there what it is.

Imgur compression. That is what it is.
I recommend Abload, Flickr, Picpar, or Minus.
[SPOILER]That is a Hive Shrieker.[/SPOILER]

weaponlords here if gaf wants to invite me for the final mins

The thing you posted in facebook, are you stress testing or is something really going to happen?

 

[SymbiantXenos]

The background music in this is great.

 

[IAmRandom31]

My last romp will be a Legendary Strike mission.

So was that just a stress test?

The Last Guardian

 

[Namikaze1]

Promoted CmdrShepard to leader. Any requests goes through him/her. I'm logging out. I had a ton of fun with the gaffers that were there. Good night and see you all at the Beta!

 

[VanCityGamer]

Game's so awesome. Seeing the impressive scale of content offered in this Alpha made me curious how big the actual game is. But I'm having trouble finding concrete information, surprisingly. So, the Alpha includes Old Russia, which is just one of five major locations on earth? And then how many other planets do we get to explore? Old Russia on its own feels like a decently large explorable area. The thought of four more similarly-sized regions on earth, along with explorable regions on other planets is mind-blowing. It has the potential to be HUGE.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

So I guess this was nothing after all?

 

[The Librarian]

Can't stay awake any longer. Goodbye, Alpha! Though I shouldn't be too sad seeing as how I was lucky enough to have played it more than most people.

Thank you for this opportunity, Bungie! You guys are great.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

is the walker public event always a "noble" devil walker?

 

[SockyJohnson]

Good lord my time with this has been fantastic... I don't want it to end...
Thanks for the games gaf! Can't wait for beta.

Goodnight sweet prince

Last sunset

Roll Credits

 

[Vire]

Bungie must be pretty thrilled with the impressions:

There was a heap of negativity about this game on this forum (me included), but the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Gonna really miss playing this.

Yeah I was still way past satisfied. Bungie you have a hit here and I'm excited to see where you go with this.

See you all in the Beta

 

[Nipo]

And GAF guild ends with 500 members and 1000 followers. Not bad for one weekend.

 

[Poker Face]

I didn't get to play because I don't have a PS4, but thanks to everyone who posted impressions and screenshots .

Can't believe this thread went almost 200 pages in a couple of days and the alpha was just on the PS4. The beta thread is going to be insane.

Good for them

 

[Oozer3993]

Both times I came across it, it was listed as a Noble Devil Walker. I actually managed to beat it single handedly the second time. I just ran out of time the first attempt.

 

[originalself]

That is a nice sunset. I am gonna miss this game waiting for the next beta.

 

[CmdrShepard]

Yeah logging off as well. Great fun tonight in GafTown. Hope we can set everything up for beta

 

[mcrommert]

Enjoyed everyone's impressions. Owning a Xbox one I didn't get to play but very excited for the beta.

 

[Namikaze1]

And GAF guild ends with 500 members and 1000 followers. Not bad for one weekend.

And that's just PS4 players. Imagine how big it would be if it included 360, Xbox One, and PS3 players.
