I'm hopeful. I believe it might be a decent story.

I am one of the crazy people who is looking forward for the story. I wanna explore the solar system, I wanna know who is the Exo stranger and I wanna know more about the Queen of the Reef and her motives, and so on.
The story missions from the beta left me wanting more unlike other people who thinks it's gonna be the shittiest story ever. >_>

Yep, okay. That's where I'm at, too.This is as far is it'll let me get on the Warlock skill chart:
I've been stuck there since day 1 of the beta.

Your loadout looks awesome, Rex.
Haven't been able to luck out on equipment that has high defence + desirable add stats. =(
I stand corrected
. I guess I'm cynical based on what I've seen so far.I'm mostly looking forward to it because it's not trying to be edgy, dark, and subversive.
Basically, this quote from Kurt Busiek but applied to first person shooters instead of superheroes:
"It strikes me that the only reason to take apart a pocket watch, or a car engine, aside from the simple delight of disassembly, is to find out how it works. To understand it, so you can put it back together again better than before, or build a new one that goes beyond what the old one could do. We've been taking apart the superhero for ten years or more; it's time to put it back together and wind it up, time to take it out on the road and floor it, see what it'll do."

Yeah. There's also a purple hover ball too! That one is more fun to play with!

You can't base anything on the beta.I stand corrected
Or not? The jump is more of a defensive move. Bungie said that they want to counter-balance everything with a penalty so that you should consider your abilities more. That's also why you cannot turn quickly while sprinting, and that's why there's ADS in the game. Think about it:
Run faster = turn slower
Jump higher = lose accuracy
Gain accuracy (ADS) = lose mobility
Change weapon = lose ammo
And so on...

I really want to delve deeper into the Warmind/Earth's Last Days/Golden Age stuff, sounds intriguing.
The spiritual side of things too, with the light and such, interests me.
I'm not expecting Bioware levels of storytelling, but I am expecting Halo levels (which are still pretty darn high, for a shooter).
I'm liking what's been on display so far, and I like how the protagonist actually has a voice, as I thought they were supposed to be completely mute (something that really grinds my gears in games).
Except accuracy is pretty bad jumping and you become an easy target. I don't see it becoming a useful tactic.
I'm not, just PvP & Strikes w/ bros for me.
Naw, it'll be a convoluted mess by the time Destiny 3 comes.

Nathan Fillion (Hunter rep), Peter Stormare (Dead Orbit rep), Gina Torres (Warlock rep), Lance Reddick (Titan rep), Claudia Black (Special Orders NPC) and Shohreh Aghdashloo (Future War Cult rep) do not sound bored.

I guess. It just bugs me sometimes.

Speaker is the First Guardian, and the protagonist of Destiny : Reach. /joke
That's the max for the beta. You messed up though, Duration > Range for the grenade perk.This is as far is it'll let me get on the Warlock skill chart:

Yeah, but I'm not sure where it's located. There's a purple ball you can kick around near the bounty hunter dude.
The ball is usually near the stairs leading to the fan activator. There's also a purple floaty ball around

Here is the video Bungie posted for the Vanguard Armory pre-order bonus

Duration > Range, yes, but taking Recovery and Toughness leaves me slow as a damn turtle, and for some reason the Range ability also increases agility, which mitigates that.

Destiny 3 will be a prequel. It will take place during the golden age and you will witness the collapse and you will play as your character before he/she died.

It spawns every once in a while near the postman or the bounty area I believe. It's fun to mess with and then it disappears. I hope they make a full game out of it.

you just have to keep doing the Devil's Lair on lvl8 difficulty. I got my CYDONIA-AR3, OUTLANDER MK. 38, DARIUS-C, and entire CHROMA VOW III armor from doing that off and on Saturday-Sunday!
That second video is the music I ripped from the Alpha. Whoever made that video is incorrect in calling it "full" though. I missed a couple pieces of music during the Strike. Whoever made that video also forgot to include the context. I labeled the last couple pieces "Bonus" because they were just the looped music that plays while free roaming. Just like in the Halo games, in-game music is often made up of several smaller pieces played together and can be looped seamlessly. Different smaller pieces can be brought in or out depending on where the player is, how many enemies the player is facing, how close the enemies are, etc.

I hope it happens. At least enough so I can triple jump!
They call it a beta, but it's too close to release. It's a glorified demo. We can base a lot off the beta. They can tweak small things like the # of interceptors on First Light or the attack values for our weapons (alpha had level 8 weapons in the 90s), but this is probably going to be pretty close to release.
I'm still very interested in the story (what's an Exo? Awakened? Warminds? Dead Orbit seems like they want to abandon Earth?), but the story missions haven't given me a lot of hope yet.
Fillion and Stormare have been pretty good so far. I hung out next to the Hunter rep, there's a lot of random dialogue recorded.
I really hope they unlock more stuff during this time. I really want to give the axion bolt a try for the warlock. I wish the maintenance wasn't today. I have the day off today and this is the only day I could play for as long as I want.

I'll have to do this again on wednesday.
How do you control the recoil, though? Getting one with exactly the right combination of upgrades? Are there armor upgrades that do that?
mmmm
love venus public events
What is this!! Damn you and your unreleased events
mmmm
love venus public events
When did this happen?
